With the seven treasuries joined into one body, vital essence would surge by leaps and bounds; at the same realm, one's vital-essence cultivation would be far stronger than that of those who plodded along the old way! And because the treasury was one whole, the arts would circulate far more swiftly than through the traditional seven treasuries, since the old arts required vital essence to start from the Numinous Womb, run the paths prescribed by the art, flow on to the Five Luminaries treasury, pass through the Five Luminaries into the Six Harmonies, and thence to the Seven Stars, Heaven-Man, Life-and-Death, and the Immortal Bridge.
With the Heavenly River treasury binding the others into one, the vital essence ran directly within that single great treasury, cutting away many needless steps, turning the intricate into the simple! By the same principle, divine powers would rouse to action more swiftly than in the traditional seven treasuries; the boost to a practitioner's fighting strength was simply terrifying!
They were, after all, the finest young talents of the Azure Splendor Roll and the Divine Splendor Roll, surpassingly gifted and keen of wit, and in a moment they perceived the immense promise of the Heavenly River treasury. Shen Mu went on: "Once one has cultivated to the Heavenly Palace realm and become a god, the seven treasuries one cultivated before matter very little to the Heavenly Palace; they are no more than appendages of the Heavenly Palace realm.
But with the Heavenly River treasury, the power within the Heavenly Palace can merge with the treasury and strengthen it, and one's dharma power will be fuller and mightier than by the traditional method; the benefit to a god is immense as well! " The bird-headed woman suddenly spoke. "Heavenly Venerable, you make the Heavenly River treasury sound so fine. Why has the Heavenly Court never thought to replace the Immortal Bridge treasury with it? " Shen Mu looked at her, a flicker of suspicion in his eyes.
The woman said hastily, "I am Que Jingxue of the Azure Splendor Roll, disciple of Taimu. " "Taimu?
" Shen Mu had never heard of this deity, and said with a smile, "Once the gods of the Heavenly Court have cultivated to the great realm of the Heavenly Palace, who still cares about the treasuries?
They are a brick for knocking at the door; once the door is opened, the brick is thrown away.
What concerns them is the realm of the Heavenly Court itself.
From the moment they heard there was such a realm, they threw their whole minds upon it. As for you divine-power practitioners, would you dare question your masters? Would you dare question the system of treasury cultivation handed down by the Heavenly Venerables? If you did dare to question it, then you might have within you the makings of the Heavenly River treasury. " The crowd was stunned and fell to recalling the course of their own cultivation. As the most outstanding prodigies of the Heavenly Court, it was true that they had never once thought of abolishing the Immortal Bridge treasury; their greatest innovation had perhaps been to try their hand at inventing a few divine powers. To them, each fixed realm was an iron law, not to be questioned, nor even thought of as questionable.
Shen Mu said, "The lower world is different.
In the lower world, many have had their Immortal Bridge treasures severed, and so countless people study how to improve the treasuries, how to break through the old fixed understanding. The Jingping Reform did not follow the laws of the ancestors, did not hold the ancient gods in blind awe, did not worship the Heavenly Court, did not worship the Heavenly Venerables; and so there was reform, and so there was the Heavenly River treasury. " When the crowd heard the word "reform," they could not help but shudder.
Suddenly a youth rose to his feet, his whole body shaking, and said in a hoarse voice, "I will hear no more of this teaching!
