RPAGF Chapter 401 The Law of Ignorance
Chapter 401 The Law of Ignorance
Soon after.
Li Lan then followed Dongya Lin to the Dongya Royal Family Celestial Master Palace.
The Celestial Master Palace stands alone on a floating island. This place is magnificent and filled with celestial energy. Compared to this place, even the strongest secluded cultivation sites of aristocratic families such as the Xuan Yue Clan are like slums.
“Mr. Chiling, this young master is named Wu Heng. The clan chief ordered me to bring him here to cultivate.”
Upon arriving at the Celestial Master Palace, Dongya Lin led Li Lan into a grand hall. Three elderly men sat in the hall, the one at the head of the table being none other than Chiling Hengtian, the first Celestial Master recruited by the Dongya royal family!
Chi Ling Hengtian smiled broadly, looking at Li Lan with great enthusiasm, and said, "This young master's reputation has recently shaken the world; this old man's ears are practically calloused from hearing about it..."
"Young Master Wu Heng is an unparalleled genius. His arrival at the Dongya Royal Family adds to the family's strength. Excellent, excellent!"
Dongya Lin immediately withdrew.
"Young friend, shall I take you to the Scripture Pavilion of the Celestial Master Palace first?"
Chi Ling Hengtian stood up and said, "The Dongya royal family possesses the most advanced Celestial Master inheritance in the world. You are just starting out, so you must choose a suitable cultivation method."
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
Li Lan remained calm.
Chiling Hengtian led them away from the main hall.
After the two left.
"My old friend from Chiling is quite enthusiastic about this Wu Heng..."
Of the remaining two old men, one of them suddenly spoke.
"Hehe, how could I not be enthusiastic?"
The other man stroked his beard and smiled leisurely: "If the Dongya clan wants to quickly restore its strength, it must obtain that cultivation technique. Unfortunately, those few demons are stubborn and refuse to give up. They insist on sacrificing a purification master... His grandson has been chosen."
"If Wu Heng is truly as extraordinary as the legends say, perhaps he can protect the Red Ridge Stone."
……
"This is the Sutra Repository, which contains a total of 1,972 volumes of scriptures, including 700 volumes of Heavenly Grade cultivation techniques, and the rest are also rare treasures."
Upon entering the dazzling array of scriptures, Chi Ling Hengtian explained, "These more than a thousand scrolls of scriptures are all the great Daos explored by the Celestial Masters of the world. Any one of them, as long as it can be cultivated to its extreme, has the potential to become a stable Immortal King."
Li Lan nodded.
The foundation of the Eternal Royal Family is truly astonishing!
The Xuan Yue clan is an immortal family that has stood in the world for countless years, but it only has seven or eight kinds of inheritance, and they are all sealed in the Stone Pagoda Forest, so no one can inherit them.
The royal family of Dongya directly stored over a thousand kinds of scriptures, which anyone could read!
Moreover, this place is also permeated with a powerful force of faith, and an aura of immortality permeates the air. Clearly, this place is also infused with a massive amount of incense and faith.
Celestial Masters and similar practitioners will find their cultivation here twice as effective!
"Young friend, you might as well take a look at it first."
Chi Ling Hengtian smiled slightly and said, "However, the most powerful scriptures are actually on the seventh floor. You can focus on them and don't rush to make a decision. With your talent, you should choose the strongest scripture."
After saying that, he immediately left.
Li Lan pondered for a moment; Chi Ling Heng Tian was being a little too attentive to him.
But he didn't mind; he figured he might as well make the best of it.
The Dongya royal family possesses far more clues and information about demons than the Xuan Yue family.
Dongya Xiaoxiao even told him that within the royal family, there was a vast "demon realm" being suppressed.
If Li Lan wants to come into contact with these demons, he must first demonstrate sufficient strength on the path of the "Celestial Master" and gain the attention of the Dongya royal family. Only then will he have the opportunity to come into contact with those demons and seize the primordial matter.
He immediately began to peruse the scriptures in the library.
He read very quickly, flipping through each book casually once.
As Chiling Hengtian said, even in the vast Eternal Realm, these scriptures are considered to have "immense origins," and each one, at the very least, was left behind by an immortal.
Some of them were even near-king level beings, just one step away from breaking through that barrier.
Any celestial master in the world who came to this place would probably be overjoyed and completely lost in it.
But Li Lan seemed rather uninterested.
He already possessed the qualities to become an ignorant person, had a clear understanding of the great principles of the world, and even had dabbled in the principles of existence, having severed all cause and effect between existence and non-existence.
These avenues were passable, but they never managed to pique his interest.
In this way, he read through hundreds of scriptures in just one hour.
“Master, Wu Heng only casually flipped through each scripture; he is truly arrogant.”
At that moment, a young man walked into a palace and reported to Chiling Hengtian.
"Oh?"
Chiling Hengtian was somewhat surprised.
In his view, a self-taught Taoist master like Li Lan, upon arriving at such a treasure land, should be overjoyed and try to practice every single book; that would be the normal thing to do.
How can Li Lan remain so calm?
It seems he really is someone important.
"Keep an eye on him, and report back to me when he reaches the seventh floor."
He remained calm.
……
three days later.
Li Lan finally reached the seventh floor!
In reality, the access levels in the Library of Scriptures are different on each floor. Even a Purification Master needs to have a certain status and position to be qualified.
Li Lan was able to come here because of his special status. As Dongya Xiaoxiao's savior, he was more like a "distinguished guest".
Upon entering the seventh floor, Li Lan glanced around briefly.
This floor contains a total of seven sets of cultivation techniques, all of which are at the "Immortal King" level!
The pages exude an aura of eternity; the power of words can only be borne by paper forged from divine gold. The energy of incense and faith permeates every scripture.
This place is truly a temple of the Great Dao, an immortal holy land!
Anyone who comes to this place will probably bow down in worship.
However, Li Lan remained quite calm. He walked over, opened the scriptures, and looked them over one by one.
These are all supreme paths, the true path of "pure purity," the unprecedented method of "freedom from demons," and the strange and wondrous art of "heartlessness"...
However, Li Lan only glanced at these profound and difficult principles and methods, and after just a few glances, he already understood their essence.
This is the terror of the "ignorant".
"Young friend, are you dissatisfied with none of these?"
At that moment, a voice sounded behind him.
Li Lan turned around and saw Chi Ling Hengtian, who looked at Li Lan with a smile and stroked his beard, saying, "In just three days, young friend, you have already reached the seventh level. It seems that you are indeed ambitious!"
Li Lan said, "Senior flatters me. Wu Heng simply can't really distinguish between good and bad, strong and weak among these great cultivation techniques. He just feels dazzled by them, so he can't make up his mind."
Chi Ling Hengtian nodded; he did believe that.
Even someone of his stature would still feel uneasy and hesitant every time he came to this place, let alone Li Lan, a mere rogue Taoist priest.
"Young friend, are you aware that there is actually an eighth type of martial art here?"
He suddenly spoke.
Li Lan said, "Oh?"
"Once you can cultivate this eighth technique, it will become the true path to invincibility and the unparalleled method. All the immortal kings in the world will have to bow down to you!"
Chiling Hengtian sighed deeply.
Li Lan couldn't help but ask curiously, "I wonder what method you are referring to, senior? Does it possess such heaven-defying power?"
"Young friend, do you know what the Way of the King of Kings is?"
Chi Ling Hengtian looked solemn.
A thought struck Li Lan, and he tentatively asked, "The Way of Ignorance?"
"Not bad!"
Chi Ling Hengtian nodded: "The most heaven-defying technique within the Eastern Cliff Royal Family's Celestial Master Palace is actually the Technique of Ignorance!"
Li Lan deliberately showed a look of interest and said, "How come I didn't see it?"
Chi Ling Hengtian smiled and said, "This technique is too powerful. Those with weaker cultivation levels will find it difficult to resist its allure. Therefore, only by coming here in person can we activate it."
With a flick of his sleeve, a screen of light appeared in front of him. On the screen, many characters, like golden tadpoles, swam and were full of divinity!
"This is……"
Li Lan stepped forward and gently stroked it with her hand.
The true meaning of those tadpole-like characters gradually entered his mind. In an instant, he seemed to glimpse countless phantoms of the Great Dao evolving before his eyes.
It was springtime, and the earth was covered in green.
It was during a torrential summer rain, when birds were startled and flew about, vying to cross the sky.
It was a vast expanse of golden yellow in the bleak autumn.
It was a snow-white world devoid of life in the dead of winter.
That is the surging of the ocean waves, the towering grandeur of the mountains, the drifting and formless clouds, the ethereal emptiness of self and intention...
For a moment, Li Lan seemed to be in a daze.
After a long, long time, Chi Ling Hengtian, who was standing behind him, smiled slightly and then waved his hand.
Those golden characters have already disappeared.
"Young friend, how is it?"
He spoke leisurely.
Li Lan turned around and slowly said, "This technique seems to contain countless Daos in the world."
Chiling Hengtian immediately nodded, revealing an expression of appreciation:
"Young friend, you are indeed exceptionally talented. This cultivation method contains countless Dao seeds. Several Immortal Kings have studied it and claimed that it may contain the potential to become an ignorant being."
"However, only true geniuses can comprehend this. Ordinary people, if their Dao heart is not firm, will become lost in it and even go insane if they practice this method."
"Young friend, you have studied over a thousand different methods in just three days, yet you have not left any behind. You have even mastered the supreme Celestial Master method here, demonstrating your unwavering resolve in the Dao."
Chi Ling Hengtian said, "If it weren't for that, I would never have told you about this method!"
“Young friend, you are Princess Dongya’s savior. If you are willing to learn this technique, I can make an exception and pass it on to you.”
A smile graced his aged face, as if he were waiting!
He was absolutely certain that Li Lan would choose this technique.
No one can resist the temptation to be ignorant.
Ignorance is bliss, and the king of kings is king. In particular, Li Lan, the great enemy from the Void Heaven Realm, has already proven just how terrifying this path is during the great war between the two realms.
Upon hearing this, Li Lan sneered inwardly.
The Law of Ignorance?
That's complete nonsense!
The countless Dao seeds contained in this technique are actually just illusions!
However, this illusion is so astonishing that even an immortal king might be deceived.
Therefore, it is not necessarily a falsehood that Chiling Hengtian said some immortal kings believed that this method contained the possibility of becoming ignorant.
It's normal for those immortal kings to have such misunderstandings because they can't see through the underlying reasons.
However, any immortal should be able to see that this technique is ultimately a demonic art.
Moreover, in the end, he refined himself into a furnace, using his demonic powers to possess demonic bodies!
He had previously wondered why Chiling Hengtian treated him so warmly, even though he had no connection with him. Even though he had saved Dongya Xiaoxiao, things were still somewhat unusual.
Now he finally understood that the other party's initial enthusiasm was just a ploy to gain his trust.
Their real purpose was to lure him into cultivating demonic arts and turning him into a furnace for cultivation.
However, although he guessed Chiling Hengtian's intention, Li Lan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Alright, thank you very much, senior. Wu Heng is willing to practice this method!"
He agreed!
— Li Lan has her own ideas.
He has a broad knowledge of many major paths, and in the future he will likely need to demonstrate his omniscience.
However, even though "Li Lan" is already dead in the Eternal True Realm, the sudden appearance of another "ignorant" is still too conspicuous.
At this moment, this technique serves as a cover for him.
Having mastered this technique, he would have a suitable reason and excuse to demonstrate his abilities as an "ignorant person"!
Therefore, the honey-arsenic sent by Chiling Hengtian was actually very useful to him.
As for the fact that demonic arts might endanger one's own life and turn oneself into a furnace for demons?
He was fearless.
If one's own karma is severed from existence and non-existence, why should one fear these things?
Upon seeing this, Chi Ling Heng Tian was overjoyed!
