He was invincible from the beginning of the Heaven-Covering Era.

He cultivates enlightenment when he is divine, and suppresses demonic tendencies when he is demonic. By repeating this process, he will eventually be able to repair the flaws in his cultivation method and make himself a god forever.

"Now that you've tidied up all your belongings, let's begin today's sermon," Zhou Qing said.

Ye Fan nodded and found a seat.

Then, Zhou Qing sent a wisp of divine thought over, and everyone in the Eight Views Palace came out and sat in a row in front of him.

"Today, we won't discuss specific cultivation methods, but rather some questions: What is cultivation? Why are there five great secret realms? What is their relationship with the human body's divine potential? And what exactly are we developing when we cultivate the human body's divine potential? What power is contained within the Gate of Potential?"

Zhou Qing also sat down cross-legged, and a ray of Dao light emanated from his body, connecting everyone and enhancing their sense of Dao.

The eight people were jolted, feeling their primordial spirits become clear, and gaining an incomparably terrifying insight and understanding of the world and the laws of heaven and earth.

"Is this the world after the shortcut? I didn't realize there were so many changes in the world, and each change is a kind of great path." Ye Fan was secretly shocked.

He saw a flower in the distance swaying in the wind, and a feeling of wind suddenly welled up in his mind—a gentle feeling, a feeling of dissipating strength and using gentleness to move all things in the world. This gave him a new understanding of the Myriad Transformations Sacred Technique.

He then caught sight of a withered and dead flower, and suddenly felt a sense of decay, as if it were destined to perish, and that nothing could escape the end and destruction.

Upon entering this incredibly accessible world for the first time, Ye Fan felt as if he had entered an ocean of profound truths. Every scene he encountered contained unparalleled profound truths, and comprehending the Dao became as commonplace as eating and drinking.

"This is terrifying! This level of enlightenment efficiency is a hundred times higher than my usual level." Ye Fan was shocked.

Everyone else was also deeply moved, experiencing the changes within themselves. For a time, many people were focused on experiencing this special world.

However, the Purple Mansion Saintess found herself in the same situation as yesterday. As this Dao light spread over, the Dao light within her body also involuntarily spread out, merging with Zhou Qing's Dao light.

At this moment, she had that feeling again, able to wield the supreme Dao with every move, suppressing enemies, and her strength increased by at least tenfold!

Zhou Qing remained calm, unaffected by the unusual phenomenon on the Purple Mansion Saintess's side. It was entirely within his expectations; he had already noticed this situation yesterday.

"Cultivation is a leap in one's level of life. Whether it's cultivating the Five Great Secret Realms, the Origin Technique, or other paths, the essence of all paths is to elevate one's level of life, increase lifespan, enhance strength, and enable one to fly and traverse the earth. The existence of the Five Great Secret Realms allows us to smoothly open and develop the human body's divine treasures, which is to cultivate the inner Dao within the human body."

Zhou Qing's tone was calm, and a mysterious power flowed through the connection of the Dao light to everyone.

On this day, everyone felt that they had seen the door within their bodies. Although no specific methods of cultivation were taught that day, they felt that what the deity had spoken about today could be considered a general outline of cultivation. They had never had such a high level of understanding of the essence of cultivation before.

Chapter 267 The Zhou Family's Little Genius

After the first day of sermons, everyone felt that although their cultivation level had not improved, they had gained a deeper understanding of the essence of cultivation.

They no longer blindly copy the scriptures of their predecessors in their practice, but have developed their own understanding in their practice and can express their own interpretation of the occurrence of a certain change.

This is especially important for practitioners, because only by ceasing to blindly follow the paths of their predecessors can they forge their own path and create their own Dharma.

From the second day to the sixth day, Zhou Qing told us about a great secret realm every day.

He still didn't explain the specific methods of cultivation, but instead first talked about what each secret realm was about, what one could gain from it, and what one could do with those gains.

As Ye Fan listened, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity with what the God Lord had been saying these past few days.

It wasn't until after this round of sermons ended, when he returned to the Eight Views Palace and frowned in thought about cultivation, that he touched a book and suddenly realized the truth.

"So that's how it is. Exploring the essence of cultivation, dissecting every subtlety of the cultivation method from the most basic runes, and truly comprehending the principle that cultivation is in harmony with the human body, the human body with the universe, and all things with the Dao—this is the 'True Explanation of Cultivation'!"

He took out the book he had touched. It was the "True Explanation of Cultivation" updated by the God Lord after returning to Beidou from beyond the realm. After returning from the Qishi Mansion, he used his contribution points to exchange for some scriptures and secret techniques that he considered to be of great value.

The two books, "The True Scripture of the Sun" and "The True Scripture of the Moon," are mandatory. He also redeemed the "Secret of the Character 'Zhe'" and a copy of "The True Explanation of Cultivation." He redeemed the first three volumes of "The Heavenly Book of Destiny."

He only glanced at the "Book of Destiny" a few times before giving up. It wasn't that he couldn't cultivate it; he could, but it would require a lot of time, which was unnecessary. Rather than cultivating it now, he would cultivate it later when his realm was higher, at which point it would take less time.

His favorite book is "The True Explanation of Cultivation" written by the Divine Lord. He feels that the analytical ideas in it are very close to the essence of the Great Dao, and that in the combination of human cultivation and the essence of the universe, it stands at a height that other sages cannot match.

Moreover, some of the words he heard from time to time reminded him of the science books he read when he was in school, as if the author of the book came from the other side of the stars, making him feel very close to the author.

"If it weren't for the fact that the God's entire life was traceable, I would have truly believed that the God was also from Earth," Ye Fan said with deep emotion.

On the seventh day, everyone arrived as promised and sat down in front of Zhou Qing.

"Today I will not preach, but answer your questions. After listening to what I have said in the past six days, you should have a lot of thoughts and many doubts. Now you can ask these questions, and I will answer them one by one. Yu'er, you have the highest cultivation here, so I will start with you."

Zhou Qing sat cross-legged in front of everyone, his body radiating Dao light, and one divine halo after another appeared, surrounding him, like an inviolable ancient god.

The Sun Saintess immediately spoke, "You said that the Sea of ​​Wheels is the primordial birthplace of all things, and that the gates connecting within it are the most densely packed. I would like to know why this secret realm is so special, for..."

Why are there so many doors here?

"Very good. The fact that you can ask such a question shows that you do have a deep understanding of what I have said. No one has been able to truly explain this question from ancient times to the present. I am only sharing my views with you, but you must maintain a spirit of skepticism and criticism. Do not mistakenly believe that what I say is the truth. You must have your own thoughts."

Zhou Qing first praised the Sun Saintess's comprehension, and then solemnly warned her that even if she had something to say about him, she should still have doubts and be sure to raise any differing opinions.

Then, Zhou Qing spoke at length about the issues raised by the Sun Saintess, speaking several thousand words, causing everyone's expressions to shift from frowning to relaxing.

Then, the Sun Saintess raised another question about this issue, and Zhou Qing answered it again.

Back and forth, over and over again, the Sun Saintess posed nine questions, each with a unique angle and sharp insight. If an ordinary saint were to answer them, they would likely be rendered speechless on the spot.

However, Zhou Qing was no ordinary saint. After severing his Dao, the Dao Child Imprint clearly reflected the cause and effect of the Desolate Heaven Emperor's creation of the secret realm, and every change in the process, into his mind, so realistically that it was as if he himself was sitting there creating the secret realm.

It can be said that no one in this entire era can rival him in his understanding of the five secret realms.

Even as the questions posed by the Sun Saintess became increasingly profound, Zhou Qing was still able to share his insights and dispel the doubts of the crowd.

Although he dared not claim that his understanding was absolute truth, for the eight people listening to him, Zhou Qing's explanation was already at a level that was difficult for them to reach.

After the Sun Saintess stepped down, Ye Fan took over and asked nine questions, which surprised everyone else greatly.

Although there are also nine questions, the ones Ye Fan raised are clearly closer to the core of cultivation. Each question is located at a key point in cultivation and has an important role that cannot be ignored.

After Ye Fan stepped down, Zixia, who had the innate Dao fetus, took the stage, followed by Pang Bo, then Jiang Tingting, and then the three little geniuses from the Zhou family.

Once the question-and-answer session was over, the day quietly passed.

After the eight people returned to the Eight Views Palace, Pang Bo approached Ye Fan and put his hand on his shoulder.

"Ye Zi, you really stole the show today! Even the God Lord praised you, saying that your understanding of the essence of cultivation has surpassed that of the Sun Saintess, and that you have surpassed 90% of the powerful beings outside. Your comprehension is truly amazing!" Pang Bo exclaimed in amazement.

Pang Bo's loud voice attracted the attention of the other seven people, which made Ye Fan quite helpless. He didn't want to be constantly under everyone's watchful eyes.

However, he knew that if he couldn't give a clear explanation, others would continue to pay close attention to him.

He took out the book "True Explanation of Cultivation" that he had exchanged and said, "The reason I have such a high level of understanding of cultivation is because I have been reading this book. The content it contains is very profound. You will understand once you have read it."

“I’ve been reading this book all along, but why is your understanding so much better than mine?” A young genius from the Zhou family stepped forward, looking at Ye Fan with a suspicious gaze.

"

"Becoming an immortal? What realm am I at? What realm are you at? Why do you always think of crossing several great secret realms to compete with me?" Ye Fan sighed, utterly speechless.

The young genius from the Zhou family who stepped forward is named Zhou Chengxian. He is a little over seven years old and was born after the God Lord left Beidou. He grew up listening to the God Lord's legendary experiences.

This is a true divine being, not like the God Lord who deceived other forces when he was young by deliberately releasing smoke to claim he was a divine being.

This Zhou Chengxian had used the Nine Apertures Spirit-Connecting Divine Liquid of the Immortal Golden Holy Spirit to build his foundation from a young age. His talent was outrageously strong. He had a handsome appearance and was very polite to others, making him very likable.

There was only one thing that left Ye Fan speechless: this little genius always liked to secretly investigate his combat strength when he was at a lower level, and he compared himself to him in almost every way, inexplicably competing with him. Ye Fan never understood why this little genius treated him so specially.

"If you want a deeper understanding, you should first break through to the Four Extremes Secret Realm and connect your limbs to the Four Great Daos of Heaven and Earth before we talk about it," Ye Fan said, delivering a psychological blow to Zhou Chengxian.

"Hmph, it's not like I can't break through. I'm just suppressing my realm to increase my foundation and improve my combat power," Zhou Chengxian said with a sneer.

“Chengxian, don’t be anxious. With your talent, you might not lose if you were on par with the Saint Body. Right now, he’s just using his cultivation level to suppress you,” another young genius from the Zhou family said.

"Ruofeng, I know what you want to say. Don't worry, I'm not unaware of the gap. Once my cultivation level catches up with his, my understanding of cultivation and my combat strength at the same level won't be inferior to his. At that time, the God Lord will know that the Zhou family's prodigies don't need outsiders to uphold their prestige." Zhou Chengxian stretched out a hand to stop the other young genius from continuing to speak.

And the little genius named Zhou Ruofeng did indeed stop talking. It was clear that among the three little geniuses, Zhou Chengxian was the core.

Zixia, the innate Dao embryo, stood at a distance, watching the three young geniuses of the Zhou family with a calm and ethereal expression, almost like an immortal, as if she didn't care about this scene at all.

But in reality, she was far from calm. These three little geniuses were all around seven years old, very young, and basically in the stage of being hidden and nurtured by the Zhou family. If she hadn't been left behind by the God Lord, she would never have known about the existence of these three little geniuses.

After spending seven days together, she had gained a considerable understanding of these three young geniuses. It could be said that each of them was a peerless prodigy, and any one of them could sweep aside the next generation of their Purple Mansion Holy Land.

Especially Zhou Chengxian, although he is only at the fifth level of the Dao Palace, even a cultivator at the peak of the Four Extremes might not be much in front of him.

Such immense potential is something that even she herself didn't possess when she was in the Dao Palace Secret Realm, let alone the next generation of the Purple Mansion Holy Land.

"Then why don't you hurry up and start cultivating? Big Brother Holy Body's cultivation speed is not slow. How can you catch up if you don't seize the time to cultivate?" Jiang Tingting stepped forward and gave Zhou Chengxian a scolding.

Zhou Chengxian's expression changed, he snorted coldly, and led the other two young geniuses of the Zhou family to cultivate aside.

"As expected of the big sister, even becoming an immortal requires listening to her."

"Nonsense, becoming an immortal is unknown."

"I've been beaten up by the big sister so many times. Every time I protest, but I still can't escape the fate of getting a spanking."

The two little geniuses whispered to each other in the back.

"What are they whispering about behind me?" Zhou Chengxian, who was walking in front, felt that the people behind him were walking a little slower. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that there were fluctuations in their voice transmission.

"It's nothing. We were just thinking that if you become an immortal in another seven or eight years, you'll be able to beat the big sister, right?" a little genius laughed.

"Why wait seven or eight years? Three or four years is enough!" Zhou Chengxian said boldly.

Jiang Tingting is now twelve or thirteen years old and has reached the peak of the Four Great Perfections, but she is not an ordinary person at the peak of the Four Great Perfections. She already has the combat power of the Six Forbidden Realms.

This physique, which has only reappeared after millions of years since the Taiyin Human Emperor, has immense potential.

Once she reaches the Dragon Transformation Realm or steps into the Immortal Platform, Jiang Tingting will definitely achieve the Eight Forbidden Battle Power; with this physique, she will not lack potential.

The three young geniuses from the Zhou family walked and talked until they reached one side of the Eight Views Palace. They then sat down cross-legged, inhaling and exhaling the purple energy in the palace, and entered a state of cultivation.

"Ye Zi, that little guy is really powerful. Don't let him catch up with you and suppress you." Pang Bo teased.

“Since the God Lord left Beidou, the Zhou family has indeed seen an explosion of geniuses in recent years, and this little guy has been the most talented among them. However, apart from the God Lord, he doesn’t respect anyone else in the entire Zhou family,” Ye Fan said helplessly.

Afterwards, Ye Fan explained the importance of the book "True Understanding of Cultivation" to the others.

In fact, others had also read it, but they didn't delve into it much because the book's content was strange. They preferred to read the scriptures of their predecessors directly and follow their paths step by step, which was much faster for their spiritual practice.

However, after seven days of immersion, all eight people realized that cultivation cannot simply follow others' paths; one must have one's own thoughts. So, they all took out "The True Explanation of Cultivation" and tried to carefully study every word and sentence within it.

"I don't have this book." Suddenly, a voice rang out, and everyone turned to see that it was the Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion speaking.

"If you want to see this, you can only ask the gods. We are not qualified to give you this book to see." Ye Fan frowned, his expression very conflicted.

For a moment, he even forgot that there was an outsider among the eight of them.

"It's alright, I'll go ask the God Lord," said the Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion, then turned and left, pushing open the gate of the Eight Views Palace.

There are two buildings on the island of the gods. One is the Eight Views Palace, which is where the eight of them practiced their cultivation.

One was a palace made entirely of golden crystal, gleaming with gold; it was the abode of the gods.

The Holy Maiden of the Purple Palace walked at a moderate pace, ascending the shimmering steps and pushing open the palace gates.
