Shennong Sequence

Therefore, upon reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, one's cultivation level becomes the foundation of combat power, and the depth of one's understanding of the Great Dao is also a part of combat power.

But living a long life and accumulating a vast amount of magical power is equally important!

After all, the potential of the inner world is boundless, and the deeper the reserves of magical power, the more confident one will be in the struggle for the Dao!

However, Gao Huan lived a long time, and had previously engaged in magical battles and traveled to other realms.
Zhao Yun's move just now barely used any magic power...

Furthermore, by taking advantage of the two states that "the end of the Dharma restrains the illusory and the collapse of the Dao seizes the physical body," which are precisely what restrain him, they forced his Great Dao techniques into a situation where he could not perform them!

"That's a real cheat code!"

Gao Huan felt incredibly frustrated, yet there was nothing he could do.

In the instant his thoughts were churning,
Then, in the distance, a dazzling golden dragon phantom, transformed from Xin Ruyin, arrived in an instant, carrying immense power of destiny.

Gao Huan's heart sank, and he instantly understood that this attempt was destined to end in vain, and he had even suffered some damage to his Dao Foundation.

He suppressed his anger, let out a cold snort, and without daring to linger for even a moment, transformed into a streak of light and fled.
He dared not stay here any longer.

Because the law enforcement cultivators from Taibai Pavilion will definitely arrive soon!

If caught red-handed, even if someone tries to take the blame, it won't help.

Only if they weren't caught in the act can they find an excuse to take the blame for "initiating the fight"...

the other side,
Zhao Yun breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Gao Huan escape.
He then began to reflect on the special phenomenon of "manifestation of thousands of mountains and rivers" that Gao Huan's Foundation Establishment Great Dao Technique had just displayed:

Xin Ruyin's Foundation Building Dao Method can also manifest a golden dragon of fortune;
But his own Foundation Building Dao Method, "Material Transformation Method," seems to have never had such an external form before.
Why is this?

Zhao Yun pondered for a moment,

His inner world, the method of material transformation, and the Taiji of Taiyuan had long been fused and integrated into one.

This fusion is introverted, without any tangible outward form or ethereal phenomena.

Therefore, the method of material transformation was defined as an auxiliary method, rather than a method of combat.

"In this way, if others want to tear apart my foundation of the Great Dao, they will have no way to do so unless they can directly invade my inner world and plunder its origin!"

"Does this mean that my Great Dao technique has one less drawback: 'external manifestation, making it vulnerable to attack'?"

But then, Zhao Yun shook his head:
"No, no!"

"The outward manifestation of the foundation of the Foundation Establishment Great Dao technique is essentially an enhancement to combat power and the Great Dao technique itself—the more magnificent the manifested Dao charm, the stronger the power of the universe that can be mobilized!"

"The so-called 'shortcomings' are merely the damage to the foundation of the Great Dao when the outward form is broken."

"Therefore, as long as the external form can be protected from being broken, or even not released during battle, that buff effect is the true value of the external manifestation of the Great Dao!"

Having figured this out, a new question arose in Zhao Yun's mind:
Then, what kind of external manifestation of the Great Dao should I condense using the material transformation method?
Will it manifest as a chaotic phantom of endless material flow, or as a chaotic vortex capable of devouring everything?
This question made him think deeply...

After thinking for a long time, Zhao Yun still had no clue.

Moreover, if he hadn't fought with Gao Huan just now, he would never have thought of the "extraordinary phenomena manifested by the Great Dao Law".

He then turned to Xin Ruyin, who had just arrived, and asked her about his confusion. Unexpectedly, Xin Ruyin was also somewhat bewildered after hearing his question and didn't know how to answer it for a moment.

After pondering for a moment, Xin Ruyin slowly said:

"Whether it's the foundation building of humanity, the foundation building of earth, the foundation building of heaven, or the foundation building of the great Dao like yours and mine, there are corresponding reference points for foundation building!"

Humanity is the foundation, based on the fortune of all people.

The tunnel is built on the foundation of the earth and the land, relying on the physical landforms such as mountains, rivers, waters, deserts, seas and deserts;
As for the foundation of the Heavenly Dao, it is even more special. Some people take the entire celestial canopy as their foundation, while others take the invisible operation of the four seasons in the heavens as their Dao foundation.

After the foundation is established, these reference points can serve as the overall framework for the external manifestations of the Great Dao!

Just like me, I used fortune as a vehicle to build the foundation of the Great Dao, and finally merged with my own golden dragon of fortune, which is how the golden dragon phenomenon of the Great Dao manifested outwards was formed..."

But Zhao Yun's situation was completely different.

His fundamental principle is based on his own understanding of the "method of material transformation."
To consider the luster of magic as an outward manifestation of the Great Dao is clearly incorrect...

The luster of the technique was too thin to bear the vast Daoist charm of the Great Dao, let alone form a stable external phenomenon.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Zhao Yun, and he turned his thoughts to the "Great Dao Golden Register Chapter: Dividing Souls, Nourishing Spirits, and Gathering All Beings" that he had obtained from the Foundation Building Hall beneath the Myriad Spirits Immortal Mountain.

Having cultivated to this point, several "outer manifestations" of this Great Dao Chapter have already appeared:
Combined with the power of truth and a portion of the yellow cloth, the derived concept of "true nature is me, all selves return to truth" can be considered an inherent, extraordinary foundation!

The "Seal of Others" combined with the "Great Law of Returning the Hearts of All Beasts" can be considered a kind of external manifestation of extraordinary phenomena!
Even those "clones" that can be refined can be considered an external manifestation of the Great Dao Chapter!
However, creating an avatar requires splitting one's soul essence. Zhao Yun had tried it once before and found that splitting the soul caused great damage to his Dao foundation, so he did not continue.
After all, having the "Seal of Others" as a link between oneself and the original body is sufficient to deal with various situations, so there is really no need to condense a clone.

Even after considering all of this,

Zhao Yun still had no clue how the "material transformation method" could manifest the extraordinary phenomena of the Great Dao.

And he pondered it repeatedly in his heart:

What kind of thing is it?
Only then can it be combined with the material transformation method.
It neither violates its core principle of "transforming all things and all matter" nor fails to exert the effect of "externally enhancing combat power".

Is it a manifestation of a chaotic phenomenon capable of containing and devouring everything?

Or it manifests...

Thoughts flashed through his mind, only to be rejected one by one. The most important state of "fit" was shrouded in confusion like a fog.

In addition, Zhao Yun thought of something special.

Back then, the Mountain God Lin nurtured pseudo-chaos within the Mountain God Stone, and created pseudo-chaos, transforming it into the phenomena of all things. This actually had a great enlightening effect on his method of material transformation!
But chaos is such a mysterious thing:

Its inherent power of "dissolving all things" does indeed evoke a sense of imitation.

The immense power to "evolve all things" is simply unattainable unless one can master the "way of creation."

We can't possibly stage a "scene of creation" every time we use the material transformation method to manifest the external phenomena of the Great Dao, can we?

This is neither meaningful nor realistic!

Since it's better to directly attack with the power of creation than to merely mimic the "scene of creation"! (End of Chapter)
