From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 75 Hearing the Dao in a Dream
“In ancient times, Qinglian Jun heard an immortal teach him the ‘Tide Source Limitless Scripture,’ which opened his spiritual wisdom and led him to the path of divinity.”

"Now that Lord Qinglian is nearing his end, I will use my power over the Dream Tide to recreate the scene of listening to the Dao on that day."

“All of you juniors of the Daoist sect are welcome to enter and listen to the teachings. This can be considered as Qinglian Jun returning the cause and effect.”

The City God continued to speak slowly.

As they spoke, clouds of mist enveloped the cultivators, and in an instant, they felt the world turn upside down, and they found themselves on a vast lake.

All around was a vast expanse of white, with countless characters floating between heaven and earth, each as large as a bamboo basket, falling down in a flurry.

A magnificent sound resounded throughout the entire world.

The cultivators looked up at all of this, their faces showing both surprise and delight.

This is a legendary [Scripture-level] Dharma, which is rare even in the Heavenly Realm.

They will enter Qinglianjun's memories and relive the scene of listening to the sermon that day. There may be some discrepancies, and it may not be exactly the same as the original, but it is still a top-tier opportunity.

"The source of the infinite begins in chaos; all things are born from water, and all things depend on it. Observe the nature of water: it moves without being agitated, it is still without being stagnant; its power is both soft and hard, weak and strong, seemingly there yet not there, and it connects with the energy of heaven and earth..."

Countless words about the "Tide Source Limitless Scripture" appeared in the void, and the surrounding tides surged and rippled gently.

Not wanting to waste time, the cultivators each found a corner and began to meditate cross-legged.

Among the crowd, a small carp suddenly popped its head out of the water, and next to it, a white dragon also poked its head out. The two of them looked around furtively.

What place is this? Why are there so many people?

It looked like a grand gathering of cultivators, but from You Ming's perspective, Qinglian Jun's health bar was floating in the sky with an incredibly glaring effect.

Although the health bar was less than one-fifth of its original length, it still outlived the little carp.

"Acting according to the will of Heaven and determined by the terrain, the law of water responds to the times and changes with the situation. The Way has no constant form, water has no constant nature, heaven and earth operate because of water, and all things are born because of water."

Between heaven and earth, scriptures are still being recited, and more and more words are floating.

The little carp was also a cultivator, and he instinctively sensed that these words were far more profound and difficult to understand than any other method he had ever heard of before.

But he felt a strange sense of closeness to the article.

However close they were, they still couldn't understand. This Dharma was indeed extremely profound, because everyone else present also had solemn expressions, deep in thought, and didn't even notice the fish and dragon underwater.

You Ming looked around and didn't seem to find any danger.

He gently adjusted the compass, entered a cheat code, and activated the [Equal Element Adjustment] ability.

Appearance: 2 (Because I mastered the [Returning to the Origin of the Stars] divine power, my appearance was improved by a little).

Willpower: 3.

Spirituality:1.

Perception: 0.

Luck: 5.

Therefore, appearance -2, willpower -1, spirituality -1, fortune -1, comprehension +5.

In an instant, You Ming transformed into a cultivation genius with exceptionally high comprehension, his consciousness gradually calming down, his mind as still as water. At this moment, he seemed to return to Qinglian Jun's memories.

A tranquil, boundless lake, its surface as smooth as a mirror, not a ripple disturbed. He walked slowly, his feet never touching the water, yet his body seemed to float lightly on it. The water was silent, and every step he took seemed to blend seamlessly with the current, without any obstruction.

The water was as vast as the sky, reflecting the tranquility and clarity in his heart.

The fluctuations, currents, and spiritual energy of the entire universe flowed continuously within his heart, as if merging with the flow of water.

"The origin is formless, and the form returns to nothingness; this is called the endless source of the tide."

Suddenly, You Ming had an epiphany. In an instant, the flying words seemed to fall into his mind like a rain of magic, constantly combining with each other to form an incredibly complex, three-dimensional text.

"source!"

In a state of heightened comprehension, You Ming naturally recognized the Heavenly Script Insect Seal at a glance.

This character is incredibly complex, with each stroke constantly changing, like a spring that could branch out into countless streams at any moment, flowing through the vast expanse of heaven and earth, nourishing all things.

As the character "源" (source) took shape, the magical power within You Ming's body began to flow.

It was as if the magical power within his body had become countless tributaries of this word, guided by the word "source," seeking to connect with the origin.

A vast amount of information surfaced in You Ming's mind. His main cultivation method was the "Jianghai Chaosheng Baoshu" (Treasured Book of Rivers and Seas), and he had already sensed that the scripture currently circulating outside seemed to be a higher level than the "Jianghai Chaosheng Baoshu"... no, it might even be two levels higher.

Because he had once enhanced his spirituality and come into contact with the superior method of the "Tide-Listening Cleansing the Mind" from the void, but in terms of complexity and profundity, the "Tide-Listening Cleansing the Mind" is no match for the scripture before him.

At the same time, another part of the text, which was not so complete and even somewhat fragmented, appeared in his mind. These texts were some fragmented texts he obtained after killing the memory avatar of Qinglian Jun.

Originally, these texts were incomplete and he was unable to study them, but after hearing the grand scriptures from the outside world, many of the omissions were automatically filled in.

【The Dream Weaver's Manual of Mirror Lake】!
Although many parts are still incomplete, You Ming is gradually able to piece together a relatively complete true meaning from these fragmented sentences.

This is a classic Dharma teaching, seemingly derived from the same scripture as the "Listening to the Tide and Cleansing the Mind Dharma Teaching," but it is more suitable for Qinglian Jun's Dharma teaching.

"Neither the Mirror Lake Dream Weaving Divine Scripture nor the Listening to the Tide Cleansing Heart Scripture are particularly suitable for me; they both deviate from my path."

"My path should be found in the word 'source'."

Countless sparks flew through You Ming's mind, and an unprecedentedly audacious idea even arose in his heart.

Normally, he would never dare to have such thoughts. For a Xuan Guang cultivator to think that a [Classic] technique was not suitable for him was truly ignorant of his own limitations.

But in this state, Youming could only think intensely, and the constantly chanting scriptures outside gave him a wealth of inspiration every moment, making him feel like he was about to burst into flames.

But, it's not enough!
A comprehension level of five points would make someone a true genius in any sect, but it's still a bit short of the skill required to comprehend a cultivation technique of one's own from a higher-level method.

Without hesitation, You Ming immediately reduced his Willpower and Luck by 1, while increasing his Comprehension by 2.

At this moment, his comprehension increased by 7, truly reaching a monstrous level of comprehension.

"boom."

His brain seemed to have a powerful engine installed, which, after a slight vibration, started running at an even more frantic pace.
