Chapter 664: Chapter 674: Burdened with Karma and Lacking Fortune
Compared to Han Sheng’s lengthy exposition, Chu Feng’s explanation is much more exquisite. And it directly points to the essence of the Earth Path, which is Yin and Yang.
After a moment of silence throughout the venue, thunderous applause suddenly erupted.
It was heartfelt gratitude that prompted the applause, originating genuinely from within.
That’s because Chu Feng’s articulation was indeed brilliant. It also provided many insights to the geniuses of the Inner Sect. Many had never considered that the Sword Dao could be so simple, consisting solely of Yin and Yang.
"Utterly absurd! There are myriad forms of Sword Dao, yet you claim there are only Yin and Yang—such talk is completely baseless!"
The fact that Si Huang could occupy the first place in the Jade Mat rankings is not only due to her high level of understanding and insight into the Sword Dao. She has also always maintained in front of everyone that there are myriad forms of Sword Dao.
She believes that the Sword Dao, like the grand avenue, has three thousand paths, each one leading to enlightenment.
Indeed, this theory is not wrong.
Because there are indeed many kinds of Sword Dao. For example, Fast Sword, Slow Sword, Light Spirit, Heavy Sword, and so on.
Already prejudiced against Chu Feng, and having been outperformed by him twice, the prideful Si Huang found it difficult to accept.
In her eyes, Chu Feng was merely an unknown figure. His sudden rise to prominence, soaring like the scorching sun, naturally made him easy to look down upon.
This time, Chu Feng proposed that the Sword Dao consists only of Yin and Yang, and it was met with the crowd’s approval and applause.
This immediately made Si Huang feel as if her authority was being challenged.
Just like in ancient times when the venerated scientist, Aristotle, claimed that if two objects of different weights were dropped from the same height, the heavier one would hit the ground first, while the lighter one would fall later.
This theory, deeply entrenched for a long time, became one of Aristotle’s claims to fame.
Who would have thought that it would later be overturned by Galileo who demonstrated to everyone with an experiment from a high tower that two iron balls of different weights would hit the ground at the same time.
It was as if Aristotle had been slapped in the face, naturally incurring a lot of retaliation.
At this moment, Chu Feng proposing that the Sword Dao is only divided into Yin and Yang, was akin to a slap in Si Huang’s face. If Chu Feng’s theory proves to be correct, it could potentially put Si Huang in an awkward position.
The myriad forms of Sword Dao she had been promoting all this time might be replaced by the theory of Yin and Yang.
"Chu Feng, if you don’t understand, don’t spout nonsense and misguide others. If the Sword Dao were really as simple as you say, having only two categories, then why would there be so many Sword Sects in the world?"
"Furthermore, do you know the name of our Sect? It is called the Ten Thousand Sword Sect. There are myriad forms of Sword Dao, understand, child."
Han Sheng was simply overjoyed; this was an excellent opportunity to get close to Si Huang and win her favor.
This Chu Feng kid might be too arrogant for his own good.
Speaking such a nonsensical statement that the Sword Dao consists of merely Yin and Yang is utterly ridiculous.
"Quiet down, seeing all of you express your views delights me greatly."
"First of all, I can affirm to everyone that Chu Feng is indeed correct. There really are only two kinds of Sword Dao, which are Yin and Yang." The words of the Supreme Lord of Wanfa Sect instantly sparked even more enthusiastic applause from the crowd.
Some even screamed to express their admiration for Chu Feng.
"Elder Wanfa, are you sure there are really only two kinds of Sword Dao? Other Elders have never said such a thing. And many Elders agree that there are myriad forms of Sword Dao."
Si Huang’s complexion turned somewhat unsightly.
How come even Elder Wanfa is joining Chu Feng in this folly.
"Si Huang, don’t be anxious. It’s not to say that your myriad Sword Dao theory is wrong. Your argument is also correct."
When Elder Wanfa said this, everyone became a bit confused.
This Elder Wanfa, who is famously easy to talk to and always kind-hearted.
Now he’s saying that both viewpoints are correct, isn’t this contradictory?
"The law has Three Vajra, immortals are of Five-levels. Sword Dao is the same. The myraid Sword Dao theory you advocate actually belongs to the lesser path. Whereas Chu Feng’s Sword Dao, which divides only into Yin and Yang, belongs to the greater path."
As soon as Elder Wanfa explained this, everyone immediately understood.
From this point of view, Chu Feng seemingly appears more formidable than Si Huang. Anyone could figure out with their toes, the greater path certainly surpasses the lesser path.
"Si Huang, you might feel unconvinced. The myriad Sword Dao you speak of, including the most familiar Fast Sword, Slow Sword, Light Spirit, and Heavy Sword, these Sword Daos all belong to the lesser path. Have you noticed that they are all like men and women, paired up one by one. For instance, fast and slow are a pair, Light Spirit and Heavy Sword are another."
A blush of embarrassment couldn’t help but appear on Si Huang’s beautiful face.
Her differing view from Chu Feng’s, could it not also be considered a pair?
Although no one dared to say it to her face, Si Huang could feel that the gazes from everyone carried a hint of something unusual.
They looked at her, then back at Chu Feng.
"Ultimately, all Sword Dao can be divided into two categories, Yin and Yang. Therefore, when I say Chu Feng’s perspective is correct, your view is not wrong either," Elder Wanfa said with a smile.
He paused, his expression became more serious as he looked at Si Huang and said, "Si Huang, you are the first Heavenly Pride of our Ten Thousand Sword Sect, and now you have even broken through to the Supreme Sword God Realm. Your future is limitless. However, being deeply mired in the theory of myriad Sword Dao, you are blinded and unable to see further. If you wish to achieve greater success, you need to try to accept the Yin Yang theory proposed by Chu Feng."
Elder Wanfa was quite earnest in guiding Si Huang.
She bit her enticing red lips, remaining silent, just gently nodding her head. Looking at her demeanor, it was hard to tell if she was really taking it to heart.
"Elder Wanfa, I have a phrase I wish to share with Si Huang!" Chu Feng stood up and spoke at this moment.
Having received Elder Wanfa’s praise and having suppressed Si Huang, there was no trace of pride or smugness on his face. He remained indifferent.
"Speak!"
There was a strange look on Elder Wanfa’s face.
"You bastard, you’ve already bested me; isn’t that enough? You want to take this opportunity to humiliate me further?" Si Huang’s lips were almost bitten to bleeding, and her gaze was freezing cold, her beautiful Phoenix Eyes staring at Chu Feng.
"Originally, I would not have given you this phrase. Your future achievements are none of my concern. I’m saying this only because of Dongxue’s face," Chu Feng said calmly.
The nearby Dongxue smiled gratefully at him.
"The one who cultivates initially might hear of the great path. If their karma is heavy and their blessing thin, facing all sorts of demonic obstacles, they may change their initial mindset, settling for small success. They might have success in their practice but cannot change for their life; they do not adapt to the seasons."
"This is a phrase I saw in an old text. If you can comprehend it fully, perhaps it might be of use," Chu Feng finished, paying no attention to how displeased Si Huang looked, or how cold her gaze was, and sat back down on the Jade Mat.
What needed to be done had been done, the rest did not concern him.
