the I'm

Just like the three major sects in Yan State, they initially gave an illusion of advancing and retreating together, sharing life and death.

But in reality, they were plotting against each other in secret.

As a participant in these matters, Wang Ba was quite aware of this.

Nevertheless, judging from Yao Wudi's tone, this seemed to be the case.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Ba did not ask further.

Meanwhile, Yao Wudi continued:

"The Sect has two palaces, three temples, four mountains, five divisions, and ten thousand peaks. You will gradually understand these after joining the Sect, so I won't elaborate further right now."

"Let me talk about cultivation-related matters within the Sect."

"Our Wanxiang Sect adheres to the concept that all things in heaven and earth are Dao, hence the diverse directions of cultivation within the sect are unparalleled throughout the Nine Continents."

"I previously mentioned 'ten thousand peaks', referring to a system within the Sect. Each peak represents a lineage, each lineage is a unique heritage, and currently, there are as many as ten thousand peaks within the Sect."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba couldn't help but gape in astonishment.

Ten thousand peaks, doesn't this mean there are ten thousand Dao of Cultivation?

"The paths you have encountered, such as physical refining, Qi Refining, Soul Refining, and even Talisman Cultivator, Array Cultivator, etc… all can lead to the Dao."

Yao Wudi sighed:

"However, there are no longer sufficient resources in the outside world to support these odd and ancient paths of cultivation, thus most of them have already died out. Only our Wanxiang Sect still preserves them."

"The 'Dao of Dharmas' pursued by my lineage is one of these rare heritages."

Wang Ba immediately perked up his ears, knowing that Yao Wudi was about to discuss the main issue.

Tang Ji, who was at the side, also grew more serious.

Within the Wanxiang Sect, there are countless bizarre ways of cultivation, even he does not know them all.

Although he has heard about the Dao of Dharmas, because it does not belong to the Hundred Arts category, and it has nothing to do with his responsibilities, and because there is only Senior Brother Yao in this lineage, he naturally did not seek to understand more.

Now, after witnessing the unimaginable power of Senior Brother Yao, he was also a bit curious.

As Yao Wudi discussed his direction of cultivation, a hint of pride couldn't help but appear on his face:

"The Dao of Dharmas, as the name suggests, is about mastering all Dharmas under heaven, nothing is unknown, nothing is mediocre."

"Only in this way, can one achieve the realm of 'All Dharmas Are Me, All Dharmas Are None', and from then on, few can match me among peers!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba couldn't help but express his doubts:

"But Master, there are countless cultivation methods in the world, and a person's energy is ultimately limited, how can one master them all?"

Hearing Wang Ba's doubt, Yao Wudi glanced at Tang Ji beside him and said:

"For this, why not let your Martial Uncle Tang explain it."

Tang Ji was taken aback, but he didn't decline and pondered:

"Then I'll express my thoughts. I think, regardless of how profound and complex all Dharmas under heaven are, in the final analysis, they still fall under Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, Wind, Snow, Thunder, and Lightning."

"This is what is meant by 'The Dao produced One, One produced Two, Two produced Three, Three produced All Things.'

"As long as you master these essential things, naturally you can comprehend one law to understand all laws."

"The Dao of Dharmas should mostly operate on this principle, right?"

After speaking, he looked at Yao Wudi:

"Senior Brother, is what I said correct?"

But Yao Wudi looked at Wang Ba with a smile on his face, saying:

"My good disciple, what do you think?"

Wang Ba nodded at first, then thought about the Hundred Lives Defiling Soul Curse he had learned and couldn't help but frown:

"What Martial Uncle Tang said makes sense, but… for example, which category should the path of curses belong to?"

He had personally deployed curses but could not feel that they had anything to do with the Five Elements or properties such as wind and thunder.

Tang Ji was a bit stunned when he heard this.

"The path of curses… that…"

This was something he hadn't thought of.

But when Yao Wudi heard Wang Ba's question, he couldn't help but laugh with satisfaction:

"Good, you're much sharper than your Martial Uncle Tang!"

Tang Ji's face immediately darkened.

Fucking, he knew his senior brother was pleased with the new disciple, but there was no need to step on him like that.

He couldn't help but grumble: "Senior Brother, it's better to speak directly, why beat around the bush!"

However, Yao Wudi didn't care whether Tang Ji was happy or not, he carefully explained to Wang Ba:

"The path of curses is vast and profound, and it is a major path not inferior to Qi refining; and its foundation, strictly speaking, is largely related to the 'Soul'. Of course, there are also some curses that involve Yin and Yang transformations, and even beyond this world. If you can explore their fundamental nature, you might also be able to incorporate them into the scope of the Dao of Dharmas."

Chapter 498: Chapter 2 Dao of Dharmas_2

"Incorporated into the category of Dharmas?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba faltered, a sudden guess flashing across his mind.

"Yes, it seems like you've guessed correctly."

Yao Wudi chuckled and said:

"The heavens and the earth are not fixed, and though the Dao of Dharmas claims to grasp all Dharmas, how can it compare with the heavens and the earth?"

"So, the Dharmas of our lineage, try to incorporate what we understand into the 'Dharmas', to learn it, master it, and ignore it!"

"You might not quite understand what I'm trying to say."

"Little Tang."

Yao Wudi directly called for Tang Ji, and then gently lifted his hand, suddenly a colorless Qi floated out of his hand.

"This, is the 'Mother Qi of Dharmas', this is what we initially have in our cultivation when no concept has been incorporated."

Wang Ba couldn't help but take a close look, simultaneously quickly sensing it with his Spiritual Sense.

In his senses, this 'Mother Qi of Dharmas' did not show any preference in its properties, it had no division of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, nor any changes in Yin and Yang, wind, and thunder, just like a clean piece of white paper.

Yao Wudi promptly told Tang Ji, "Come on, use any spell to attack this 'Mother Qi of Dharmas'."

Tang Ji's eyes lit up on the spot, "Any spell will do?"

"Am I playing games with you!"

Yao Wudi sneered.

Tang Ji didn't get offended hearing this, he was very curious about how impressive this Dao of Dharmas could be.

After hesitating for a moment, he cast a Wood Style spell.

The spell smashed into the Mother Qi of Dharmas.

The Mother Qi of Dharmas was instantaneously scattered by the impact, turning into a wisp of blue smoke.

"Er… this…"

This result left both Tang Ji and Wang Ba somewhat flummoxed.

Nonetheless, Yao Wudi remained unfazed, and quickly conjured up another Mother Qi of Dharmas in his hand, this time with a greenish lean.

He explained to Wang Ba, "Just now, your Martial Uncle Tang used a Wood-Style spell, so I incorporated the Wood element into the Mother Qi of Dharmas."

Subsequently, he signaled to Tang Ji, "Try again."

Tang Ji, spurred by curiosity, immediately cast another Wood Style spell.

In a flash, the moment the spell came near, the greenish Mother Qi of Dharmas instantly transformed into a spell that was identical to it and the two clashed immediately!

Against Wang Ba's expectations, the spell formed by the Mother Qi of Dharmas directly neutralized Tang Ji's spell.

"Try again."

Yao Wudi urged.

Hearing his words, Tang Ji was not polite. He repeatedly used several Wood-Style spells.

The results were invariably the same. Surprisingly, the Mother Qi of Dharmas effortlessly formed similar spells.

However, it could not form a corresponding spell when another Style of spell was used.

Sensing this scenario, Tang Ji started contemplating.

Wang Ba also suddenly comprehended something.

Seeing the enlightened expression on Wang Ba's face, Yao Wudi asked with a smile,

"How about it, do you understand now?"

Wang Ba nodded, then shook his head:

"Martial Uncle Tang said just now that if you master the essence, then you'll grasp the corresponding Dao."

"But these essences are not just the attributes of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, there are also some that we have never encountered before."

"Just these don't seem to align with the time when Master killed the Incense-burning Dao Cultivator. It seems that Master didn't use any spells then…"

Yao Wudi laughed, "This is quite complex."

"To put it simply, the cultivation of the Dao of Dharmas, involves three stages."

"The first stage is continual learning, assimilating the strengths of all methods, the more you understand the better. As much as possible, incorporate into your Dharmas System, at the same time constantly strengthening the foundation, after all, Dharmas are just an exterior aspect, first and foremost you need to have a solid foundation to control the Dharmas, this is the proper principle."

"The second stage is application. At this time, you can effortlessly apply the corresponding approach to deal with others' attacks, you will hardly be targeted, and almost have no weaknesses. At this stage, you can already achieve 'All Dharmas Are Me', with all changes in Dharmas at your will."

"The third stage is when Dharmas become One, it is the realm of no self in Dharmas. It is not confined by the form of the method but directs to the essence. I am in this third stage now."

Wang Ba was suddenly enlightened.

He also subtly understood the Dao of Dharmas.

Simply put, the more 'essences' you master, the stronger the Dao of Dharmas.

And the so-called essence is Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, wind, thunder, snow, thunder, etc.

What Tang Ji said was correct, all methods in the world, in the end, are nothing more than the combination and changes of these attributes.

Of course, the world is boundless, and there must be more attributes than just these.

No matter what, hearing such a flexible and powerful cultivation method, Wang Ba couldn't help but have a longing heart, wishing he could start his cultivation immediately.

The Cultivation Method he is practicing now does not suit him, he has checked many Cultivation Methods, and it's the same situation.

However, the Dao of Dharmas could very likely solve this problem.

Just when Wang Ba was excited, Yao Wudi regretfully said:

"Sadly, I can't pass this Cultivation Method on to you yet."

Wang Ba was startled.

Why are you telling me this now if you won't teach me?

You've piqued my interest now…

Yao Wudi explained:

"According to the rules within the sect, although I have accepted you as a disciple, I cannot pass on the Dao of Dharmas to you until the day you formally join the sect."

"Only when you pass the final test and formally join the Wanxiang Sect."
