Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 279: Advancement of the Five Organs Divine Palace True Form Diagram, Mastery of the Heavenly Heart in One's Hands

Due to a change in teaching methods, the disciples of the sect were not given much time or a suitable environment for meditation. This led to a less than satisfactory progress in their cultivation in the eyes of Zhong Cang.

It took a full seven days before someone had a realization and learned the Heavenly Heart technique.

And in the beginning, only a few cultivators were able to learn the Heavenly Heart technique.

From a general rational perspective, under these circumstances, the feedback from the disciples to Zhong Cang would naturally be limited.

However, the reality was not so.

...

In his own Shattered Star Lake dojo, Zhong Cang sat in meditation with his eyes closed.

At the same time, on the high seat in the Inner Scenery Heavenly Court, Zhong Cang's divine soul also closed his eyes and sensed the heavens and earth.

"Ding dong, ding dong..."

At a certain moment, Zhong Cang, who was meditating, suddenly heard a continuous sound of ding dong echoing throughout the Inner Scenery Heavenly Court.

The sound of ding dong was pleasant to the ears, and after listening to these sounds, countless realizations emerged in Zhong Cang's heart.

This made him feel a bit confused.

"What's going on?"

"Why is there so much feedback?"

Indeed, what made Zhong Cang bewildered was that there were too many and too urgent realizations coming from the feedback of the Twelve Melodies of Jade Heaven Tower.

Not only were they rapid, but they also covered a wide range and were extremely profound.

Regarding the Heavenly Heart technique, the Twelve Melodies of Jade Heaven Tower, and even the realizations about formations, talismans, and sword techniques, they surged towards Zhong Cang's divine soul like waves, causing his eyes to turn somewhat white.

In this special situation, Zhong Cang had no choice but to activate the Heavenly Heart technique and contemplate.

After a meticulous storm of thoughts, Zhong Cang realized the reason for the sudden increase in his realizations.

"Elder Gold Core, Ancestor Nascent Soul!"

At this moment, Zhong Cang remembered that because of the uniqueness of the Heavenly Heart technique, not only Qi Refining and Foundation Building disciples came to observe his teachings.

There were also many Gold Core and Nascent Soul elders listening in the clouds.

Being taught by a Foundation Building disciple was somewhat embarrassing for the Gold Core elders and Nascent Soul ancestors.

Therefore, almost all of the Gold Core and Nascent Soul cultivators hid in the clouds and covered their figures with their techniques.

Naturally, Zhong Cang didn't mind this.

And those elders didn't take advantage of Zhong Cang for nothing. They all paid spirit stones, just not publicly.

...

Unlike the young Qi Refining and Foundation Building disciples, the cultivators at the Gold Core and Nascent Soul realms had already grown up completely.

Moreover, those who could become great cultivators at the Gold Core and Nascent Soul realms were all geniuses who had their own insights into the Dao, the laws, and the natural world.

After all, the prerequisite for becoming a Gold Core cultivator was to cultivate their main cultivation method to the Grandmaster realm.

How could their comprehension be weak?

Even when they were cultivating, they were not in a state of knowing the result without knowing the reason. They would start from the source and contemplate the mysteries of the cultivation method.

Just like the Heavenly Heart technique now, after learning the secret technique, their first reaction was not to be delighted by its power, but to interpret the Heavenly Heart technique from various angles and directions.

"There is a trace of talismanic charm..."

"The natural derivation of symbols..."

"I am a formation master. When ascending, can I transform talismans into formations? Heavenly Heart Formation?"

"It is said that Heavenly Heart is derived from the Spirit Communication Stone. Can I use a stone with nine holes and eight apertures to refine a similar imitation Dao Treasure?"

"The power of sound waves is also good. Can I use the trembling sound of leaves to replace the sound of bells and chimes?"

"Heavenly Heart is indeed good, but it is too vast and lacks a bit of sharpness. I am a sword cultivator, so can I change Heavenly Heart to Sword Heart?"

...

The elders who came to listen, who were at the Gold Core and Nascent Soul stages, were now analyzing Heavenly Heart from their own perspectives, trying to fully digest and transform Heavenly Heart into their own abilities.

This can also be considered as using Heavenly Heart to communicate and complement their own paths.

The mechanism of the Twelve Melodies of Jade Heaven Tower's lingering sound echoes, feedbacks some of the inspiration and insights from their exchange with Heavenly Heart.

This is also the reason why insights continue to flood into Zhong Cang's mind like a tide.

"Buzz..."

The influx of a massive amount of insights caused Zhong Cang's cultivation technique to skyrocket as if it had taken hormones.

+10, +33, +17, +9, +42, +37, +61...

The increase in a large amount of proficiency even caused the proficiency increase messages to flash in front of Zhong Cang's eyes, making his head momentarily overwhelmed.

Moreover, this time it was not just an increase in insights into Heavenly Heart.

The contemplation of Heavenly Heart by the sword cultivators triggered the progress of the Ignorant Heart Sword Art.

The testing of the power of Heavenly Heart in formation arrangements by the formation masters led to progress in their formation cultivation.

Some female cultivators were curious about the operation of sound techniques, allowing the recently advanced Twelve Melodies of Jade Heaven Tower to make progress as well.

In addition, more people used Heavenly Heart to comprehend their fundamental cultivation techniques. As the spiritual roots of Gold Core cultivators varied, this also led Zhong Cang to gain insights into wind, thunder, water, fire, and other aspects.

The vast amount of information and insights made Zhong Cang's mind tremble - it could also be due to excitement, causing Zhong Cang's mind to be constantly stimulated.

He couldn't help but be excited.

Fundamental cultivation techniques, insights into the Five Elements, formations, sword techniques, Heavenly Heart, sound techniques... the mutual communication of the paths allowed Zhong Cang to benefit immensely.

"The law of wealth and companionship, cultivators place companions in the second position, not without reason!"

Amidst his sighs, the proficiency of Zhong Cang's various cultivation techniques increased by leaps and bounds.

And as time passed, more and more people learned Heavenly Heart, and their comprehension became deeper. The speed of Zhong Cang's proficiency in cultivation techniques not only did not slow down but further accelerated.

In this way, another week later, something happened that left Zhong Cang at a loss for words!

Due to the massive influx of insights, his cultivation technique broke through once again.

And this time, Zhong Cang broke through two cultivation techniques at once!

The first one was Zhong Cang's fundamental cultivation technique - the Five Organs Divine Palace True Form Diagram.

...

The Five Elements are the origin of the world, and everything in the world cannot escape the transformation of the Five Elements.

Cultivators cultivate the Dao, which is to cultivate nature and the heavens and the earth. Naturally, they cannot escape the changes of the Five Elements.

Most cultivators' fundamental cultivation techniques are also related to the Five Elements.

During this period of time, due to the mutual communication between Heavenly Heart and the cultivators' own paths, these exchanges inevitably included the cultivators' insights into the Five Elements.

As expected, Zhong Cang absorbed and digested these insights.

As a result, Zhong Cang's insights into the Five Elements continued to increase, which led to significant progress in the Five Organs Divine Palace True Form Diagram.

Of course, this alone was not enough to completely transform the Five Organs Divine Palace True Form Diagram.

After all, the Five Elements involve the origin of heaven and earth, with a very high upper limit and extremely difficult to break through.

However, before this, Zhong Cang had allowed the Five Beasts Infusion Technique to break through to the Grandmaster realm.

Although they are different, they also have similarities - both contain the changes of the Five Elements.

The advancement of that technique allowed Zhong Cang's understanding of the Five Elements to greatly improve.

- Enlightenment, combined with ordinary cultivation and the continuous understanding of the Five Elements, these three merged together, allowing Zhong Cang's Five Organs Divine Palace True Form Diagram to transcend and enter the realm of Grandmaster.

"Buzz!!!"

When the technique advanced, just like before, Zhong Cang once again gained an opportunity for enlightenment.

This time, Zhong Cang had great ambitions, hoping to comprehend the legendary highest-level Divine Ability of the Five Elements - the Five-Colored Divine Light.

Within the Five Elements, nothing cannot be brushed away or broken. This powerful Divine Ability made Zhong Cang very envious.

However, for Zhong Cang, the Five-Colored Divine Light was too profound. Even if he increased his comprehension by a thousand or a hundred times during enlightenment and devoted all his inspiration to it, he still couldn't grasp its mysteries.

Instead, because he spent too much mental energy on the Five-Colored Divine Light during enlightenment, the characteristics of Zhong Cang's advancement this time were not very good.

The characteristics obtained by the Five Organs Divine Palace True Form Diagram during this advancement were called the Five Elements Umbrella by Zhong Cang.

As the name suggests, it is a spell umbrella condensed with the power of the Five Elements.

This umbrella is rooted in the power of the Earth Element, woven with the powers of the Water and Fire Elements, and mixed with the powers of the Metal and Wood Elements, making its defensive capabilities extremely outstanding.

The ever-flowing power of the Five Elements can withstand most attacks in the world.

Especially in terms of protecting against Five Elements spells, when Zhong Cang raises the Five Elements Umbrella, he feels invincible.

In theory, this ability is quite good and greatly enhances Zhong Cang's defensive capabilities.

If it weren't for the rotation of the Five Elements before, Zhong Cang would be very satisfied.

However, having experienced the power of the rotation of the Five Elements and the practicality and beauty of the Words Manifest Reality Divine Ability after advancing to Grandmaster with the Heavenly Heart, the defensive-only characteristic of the Five Elements Umbrella did not satisfy Zhong Cang.

"I shouldn't have put too much energy into the Five-Colored Divine Light!"

After sighing, Zhong Cang looked at the second technique to advance - the Five Spirits Sealing Great Hand Seal!

The reason why this spell can quickly advance to the Grandmaster level is simple - it was brought by the Five Organs Divine Palace True Form Diagram.

For cultivation, both techniques belong to the Five Elements. Among them, the Five Organs Divine Palace True Form Diagram is the Dao, while the Five Spirits Sealing Great Hand Seal, although also an Earth Level grade, is a spell.

Having reached the realm of the Dao is enough, and comprehending the spell naturally becomes extremely easy.

If we use mathematics from a previous life as an analogy, the Dao is like a universal formula, while the spell is a specific problem.

Knowing the formula, solving the problem becomes easy.

"Buzz..."

Just like the Five Organs Divine Palace True Form Diagram, when the Five Spirits Sealing Great Hand Seal advanced, there was also an opportunity for enlightenment.

And this time, the direction of Zhong Cang's enlightenment was the control of the world in his palm, just like the Buddha's palm country where the Great Saint is played with, the Five-Finger Mountain.

Hmm... It seems that trying to comprehend the Five-Colored Divine Light and then turning to comprehend the control of the world in his palm, Zhong Cang's behavior seems like he hasn't learned his lesson.

After all, in terms of Divine Ability grade, the control of the world in his palm and the Five-Colored Divine Light are at the same level, both being extremely powerful Divine Abilities.

Zhong Cang couldn't comprehend the Five-Colored Divine Light and instead missed an opportunity for enlightenment.

Under normal circumstances, Zhong Cang wouldn't be able to comprehend the control of the world in his palm either, and now he is wasting an opportunity by forcefully trying to comprehend it.

However, things are not calculated this way.

In a previous life, there was a saying that science is a process of trial and error, and every mistake is an accumulation of experience for success.

This saying also applies to enlightenment in cultivation.

When Zhong Cang comprehended the Five-Colored Divine Light, he did not succeed, but his comprehension was a thousand times greater and the continuous inspiration also helped Zhong Cang eliminate countless mistakes.

These experiences of mistakes allowed Zhong Cang to know how to better utilize the power of the Five Elements.

It also ensured that Zhong Cang would not make the same mistakes again next time.

The Five-Colored Divine Light and the Buddhist Kingdom in his palm both belong to the Five Elements, which can effectively avoid these experiences of mistakes.

As for why the Buddhist Kingdom in his palm is related to the Five Elements, we have to talk about the power of the Five Elements.

Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, these Five Elements may seem ordinary in the world, but they are the foundation of many spells and cannot be separated from the changes of the Five Elements.

Just like the Heavenly Gang spell "Call the Wind, Summon the Rain" involves the changes of the water element.

The spell "Return Wind, Reverse Fire" involves the fire element.

The spell "Vertical Golden Light, Transforming Earth into Steel" is related to the metal element.

Even the legendary Divine Ability of "Circulation of Creation", which involves the power of creation, can find some clues from water, earth, wood, and fire.

The Buddhist Kingdom in his palm seems to be a Divine Ability that transcends the Five Elements, but it is also closely related to the Five Elements.

The so-called Buddhist Kingdom in his palm is derived from the Buddhist concept of "one flower, one world; one leaf, one Tathagata," and it is a kind of technique of the boundless space.

After mastering it, one can hold the universe in the palm of their hand.

It is with this ability that the Tathagata can hold a monkey that can travel tens of thousands of miles in the palm of his hand.

However, to create a world within the palm, it does require a foundation to support it.

For the Buddhist Gate, the earth, wind, water, and fire are the foundation that supports the world.

And the earth, wind, water, and fire are also closely related to the Five Elements, so Zhong Cang can use the power of the Five Elements to evolve the space and recreate the Buddhist Kingdom in his palm.

Hmm, the Buddhist Gate creates a world with the earth, wind, water, and fire, while the Dao Sect uses the gold, wood, water, fire, and earth to evolve all things in the world. If Zhong Cang can successfully comprehend the power of the Five Elements, his technique should not be the Divine Kingdom in his palm, but the Heaven and Earth in his palm.

However, although the concepts are different, the basic principles are probably the same.

And Zhong Cang has a foundation in using formations to touch space with the Five Elements.

The Formation of the Five Spirits' Transportation is the result of Zhong Cang's cultivation.

"I have a deep understanding of the Five Elements, and the Five Elements can also evolve space (Heaven and Earth)... and the failure to comprehend the Five-Colored Divine Light before has given me countless wrong ideas... as long as I can avoid all of them, I have the possibility of success!"

After a brainstorming session, Zhong Cang realized that he had the possibility of successfully mastering the Heaven and Earth in his palm.

And thinking about the power of the Heaven and Earth in his palm, Zhong Cang gritted his teeth and charged forward.

"I'll give it my all, and if I succeed, I'll make it big!"

"Buzz..."

As Zhong Cang made his decision and began to comprehend, countless inspirations surged in his mind.

Information and insights about the Five Elements, the world, and space constantly emerged in Zhong Cang's consciousness.

These pieces of information formed a colorful giant hand in his mind.

At first, this hand was of normal size, but with Zhong Cang's inspiration, comprehension, and insights about the Five Elements continuously filling it.

In his mind, the hand that was the size of an ordinary person kept growing, and soon, this hand turned into a giant palm that covered the sky.

"There's a chance!"

This scene excited Zhong Cang and made his deductions even faster.

Soon, the giant hand in Zhong Cang's consciousness completely materialized.

That terrifying palm even single-handedly lifted the entire Inner Landscape Heavenly Court!
