The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun.

"Could it be that he has gone mad from practicing qi cultivation?"

Yue Buqun looked at Jiang Ning with a solemn expression. Hearing his wife's words, Yue Buqun did not speak immediately, as if he was making a judgment. He stopped Ning Zhongze when she was about to step forward to wake Jiang Ning.

"Wait a moment."

Yue Buqun looked at Jiang Ning with some surprise and uncertainty.

"He seems to be attaining enlightenment."

"Enlightenment?"

Ning Zhongze asked in a subconscious question, then looked towards Jiang Ning.

After careful observation, the two discovered that Jiang Ning was indeed in a strange state. Although they did not know what state it was, Yue Buqun did not dare to disturb him rashly.

Yue Buqun gestured for Ning Zhongze to step back so as not to wake Jiang Ning.

The two slowly retreated until they were a certain distance away, at which point Yue Buqun finally let out a long breath.

Only then did Ning Zhongze speak.

"Senior brother, is it true that Ning'er is comprehending the Dao?"

Yue Buqun shook his head.

"I'm not sure, but this moment must be very important to Ning'er. Perhaps it's a critical moment, and we shouldn't disturb him."

“But Ning’er has been lying there motionless for days without sleep or rest, I’m afraid he…”

Ning Zhongze expressed his concern.

Yue Buqun shook his head and said, "Don't worry, once Ning'er reaches this level, fasting for a few days is no problem. The most important thing now is not to disturb him, so as not to affect his enlightenment."

"Give the order: all Huashan disciples are forbidden from coming here for the next few days."

Ning Zhongze nodded and then left.

Yue Buqun did not leave, but stayed at a distance to guard Jiangning in order to prevent any accidents.

Several more days passed.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Ning's dazed eyes gradually focused, his gaze grew brighter, and he muttered to himself.

"The Tao is formless, hidden within heaven and earth, and its wisdom extends to all things without bias..."

Jiang Ning's speech became faster and faster, each sentence coming out of his mouth, and at this moment, it seemed as if a strange Daoist aura was swirling around Jiang Ning.

"The Way is not without emotion, but rather with the deepest emotion."

"So-called ruthlessness does not mean severing feelings and love, but rather severing personal feelings and biased affection."

"True affection is not about being obsessed with love or hatred for one person, but about embracing the benevolence of heaven and earth..."

"A mind as clear as a mirror, free from selfish thoughts, is true clarity."

"Thus, the Path of Ruthlessness is not truly ruthless, but rather..."

"The Way of Sincerity".

As soon as those last three words were uttered, Jiang Ning's aura suddenly changed. He instantly regained his senses, raised his head, and let out a long roar that echoed throughout the entire Mount Hua.

All the disciples of Mount Hua heard the long howl, and before they could even wonder what was going on, a grand voice rang out.

"Today, I attained enlightenment atop Mount Hua and created my own system of cultivation techniques. I hereby proclaim this to Heaven and Earth and to all people."

"My practice can be practiced by both monks and laypeople."

"Disciples, please remember this: my teachings do not consider aptitude or talent, but only character. My path is the path of ruthlessness."

"The Way of Ruthlessness is not about being heartless, but about abandoning personal feelings. The so-called Way of Ruthlessness is actually the Way of Feelings. It means being heartless for personal gain and having feelings for the public good. I hope everyone will keep this in mind."

All the disciples recognized the voice of the sect leader. At this moment, no matter where they were or what they were doing, all the Huashan disciples held their breath and solemnly bowed to the summit of Huashan.

"Thank you, Master."

At this moment, Liu Zhao, who was muttering to himself, heard Jiang Ning's voice and seemed to have come to his senses. He shouted towards the top of Mount Hua.

"May I ask, Sect Leader, what is the name of this technique?"

After a moment, Jiang Ning's voice came again from the top of Mount Hua.

"I comprehended this method from the Daoist canon and found the Great Dao in the Supreme Dao, therefore this practice is named..."

"The Supreme Dao Scripture".

Chapter 807: More Important Things

"The Supreme Dao Scripture?"

Upon hearing these four words, Yue Buqun was startled.

The fact that Jiangning's martial arts technique could be named with the words "Supreme" is enough to demonstrate its extraordinary nature.

But what shocked Yue Buqun even more was the condition Jiang Ning mentioned for practicing this skill.

"Ignoring talent and aptitude, focusing solely on character and temperament?"

Yue Buqun's eyes were filled with shock.

It is well known that martial arts training depends on talent and aptitude. Without these two qualities, one can only become a third-rate martial artist even if one practices hard all one's life. However, the martial art created by Jiang Ning does not consider talent or aptitude. As long as one has the right mindset, one can practice it.

This Supreme Dao Scripture was created by Jiang Ning, which means that its upper limit is extremely high, and it may even reach the Innate Realm. Doesn't this mean that as long as one's mind and character can meet the requirements of the Supreme Dao Scripture, even an ordinary person can become a terrestrial immortal?

At the very least, he is a top-tier expert.

If what Jiang Ning said is true, then this technique has truly created a new system.

Realizing this, Yue Buqun's breathing quickened and his heart pounded, but he quickly calmed down.

He knew that if this Supreme Dao Scripture truly disregarded aptitude and talent, then the requirements for temperament would be exceptionally high. As the founder of this technique, Jiang Ning, Yue Buqun had watched Jiang Ning grow up since childhood and knew that Jiang Ning's temperament was beyond compare; few people in the world could reach Jiang Ning's level.

Moreover, although this technique emphasizes temperament, if one truly lacks talent and aptitude, reaching the Innate Realm is probably wishful thinking; at best, one can only become a first-rate master.

But that's shocking enough.

This is a new martial arts training system created by a terrestrial immortal with painstaking effort. It represents the path to the realm of terrestrial immortals. Moreover, its characteristic of not emphasizing aptitude or talent, but only focusing on temperament, means that everyone from ordinary people with no talent or aptitude to martial arts prodigies has the opportunity to learn it. The lower limit is extremely low, and the upper limit is extremely high.

It is easy to imagine that Jiang Ning's name will leave a significant mark on the history of martial arts, ranking alongside sages such as Bodhidharma and Zhang Sanfeng, for future generations to admire.

As for Yue Buqun, although he may not be that famous in later generations, it is enough that as long as people think of Jiangning, they will mention that Jiangning was a disciple of Yue Buqun.

Upon realizing this, Yue Buqun was filled with inexplicable excitement.

Unexpectedly, he might become a legend in the martial arts world in this way, reaching a height that many people cannot achieve.

Just as Yue Buqun was getting excited, Jiang Ning appeared in front of him without him noticing, and Yue Buqun didn't react at first.

"Ning'er, you..."

Yue Buqun was startled instinctively.

Jiang Ning's speed was so fast that even he didn't have time to react.

"Thank you, Master, for guarding me here for several days."

Jiang Ning smiled slightly.

Although he had been comprehending the Dao these past few days, he was not unaware of the outside world. Although Yue Buqun was extremely far away from him, Jiang Ning knew that Yue Buqun had been waiting here for a long time and was afraid that he would be disturbed in his Dao cultivation.

"This is nothing."

Yue Buqun smiled and waved his hand, looking at Jiang Ning in front of him with a sigh in his heart.

For some reason, he felt that Jiang Ning had changed drastically, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what had changed. He just felt that every move Jiang Ning made was full of artistic conception, and a Daoist charm seemed to be entwined around Jiang Ning. That mysterious feeling made Jiang Ning seem like a god, as if he was about to leave the mortal world and ascend to the immortal realm at any moment.

Given Yue Buqun's current level of cultivation, the fact that Jiang Ning could evoke such feelings in him is enough to demonstrate that Jiang Ning's current level of cultivation is unfathomable.

"Ning'er, what level have you reached now?"

Yue Buqun asked hesitantly.

"What level?"

Jiang Ning smiled upon hearing this, then pondered for a moment and shook his head.

"This disciple does not know how the Innate Realm is divided, but this disciple should be able to describe it in four words."

"Do as I please."

"Do as I please?"

Yue Buqun pondered these four words, somewhat confused. Jiang Ning, seeing this, said nothing more and directly activated his protective qi.

Suddenly, a Tai Chi diagram appeared within a few feet of Jiang Ning, enveloping him. The Tai Chi diagram was even slowly rotating, and a Daoist aura emerged.

As Jiang Ning contracted his protective aura to about three feet, the Tai Chi diagram became even clearer, causing Yue Buqun to widen his eyes in disbelief.

"This is... a protective aura?"

Yue Buqun asked in astonishment.

He had seen Jiang Ning's protective aura before, but it was shaped like a water curtain. When did it change to this?

"good."

Jiang Ning nodded.

He had previously practiced the Innate Skill. After reaching the Innate Realm, his protective aura formed a water-like effect based on the characteristics of the Innate Skill. However, after he comprehended the Dao at the summit of Mount Hua and created the Supreme Dao Scripture, the Innate Skill in his body automatically transformed into the Supreme Dao Scripture, and his protective aura also formed a Taiji diagram based on the characteristics of the Supreme Dao Scripture.

After hearing Jiang Ning's explanation, Yue Buqun still looked at Jiang Ning with an expression of utter astonishment, as if he had never heard of or seen anything like it before.

To be honest, Jiang Ning's current behavior and words are completely beyond his comprehension; he can't understand them at all.

Nevertheless, Yue Buqun knew that Jiang Ning's current level of cultivation was beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

Watching the Tai Chi diagram slowly rotate in front of Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning seemed to be the Tao itself.

Yue Buqun couldn't help but sigh at how fortunate he was to have taught a disciple like Jiang Ning.

"Ning'er, is the Supreme Dao Scripture you created really that miraculous? It doesn't consider talent or aptitude, but only focuses on character and temperament?"

Despite his guesses, Yue Buqun still asked about the things he was curious about.

He was eager to know if the Taishang Daojing (太上道经) practice was truly as miraculous as it seemed.
