”The dao truly is infectious,” Tao commented by the side, his eyes flickering with traces of profound intelligence. As a person who spent two years besides Yan Zaizen, he knew this more than anyone. A person with the dao could gather followers as easily as picking up a pebble on the side of the street. People intentionally and unintentionally flock around, desiring what they have, and seeking the dao within them.
Earlier, even he realized that his personality was being slowly affected by Yan Zaizen's dao. Not to mention, this dao was still in its developmental stages, but it was still so incredibly strong that he felt the desire to listen to Yan Zaizen's every word and watch his every action.
”Tyrannical ferocity, somber calmness, unyielding confidence, ice-cold decisiveness, and heartfelt warmth. To have so many characteristics that synchronize so perfectly together, if the rumors are true, his dao will certainly be an extraordinary one.” Tao whispered to himself, looking at Yan Zaizen and Lin Feilin.
From what he knew, the dao in its early stages was born from one's past experiences and actions, and there were quite a few whose dao would shatter before fully forming. Yan Zaizen almost suffered this due to his indecisiveness and lack of confidence when thinking of Ya Qinqan, and only when he rectified these thoughts, was his dao further accentuated towards completion. If he had kept that unstable mindset, it's possible his dao could've shattered and vanished from existence. This is why Pinaka helped him, if that happened, then the heavens would surely smite her.
The dao was a fragile internal law that existed within oneself. It was like manifesting your own law, one that solely belongs to you and you only. When Yan Zaizen saw the motes of light before, his assumption was correct, if he combined all the motes of light into a single entity and comprehended it thoroughly, it truly would rival heavenly law as a whole.
It could, theoretically, become its own heaven.
For those with a dao even greater than normal, it could even exceed it.
”What is the heavens truly?” Tao couldn't help but mutter softly, his eyes filled with confusion and ponderance. Many knew what the heavens were, the regulator and controller of the myriad realms, but many records state that it's so much more than just that. Some records even mention that the heavens are the dao and the dao was the heavens. Unfortunately, his realm and comprehension were far too low to sift through the truths and falsities of these rumors.
”Fei'er, this is serious!” Lin Qinlin shouted, her tone was exasperated by their ignorantly casual words. The world didn't just work like that. You couldn't make a promise and break it without consequences, and simply deciding that you would no longer marry someone you swore to was a humiliating affair that could breed a death grudge.
However, Bai Lufeng spoke before Lin Qinlin could continue. Despite loving to see weaklings overestimate themselves and underestimate others, he couldn't allow this beauty to do so. ”Qinlin, you must understand, Young Lord Zai, ahem, if he decides that she won't be married. I don't think anyone on the continent could tell him otherwise.” He was trying to figure out a way to say it without revealing too much.
This, however, only caused Lin Qinlin to feel further infuriated, but she kept it all inward seeing Bai Lufeng speak. Bai Lufeng was a mid-Origin Core Realm cultivator who took an interest in her, and he was her ticket into the Origin Core Realm. Earlier, they were just talking about a grand-tier Origin Consolidation Pill that could guarantee half-step Origin Core cultivators an ascension into the realm.
How could she ruin her chances to argue over this?
If it wasn't for that, why would she flirt so obviously with another man? She had a little more self-respect than others, but an additional three thousand plus years of life, as well as a huge standing in the cultivation world, was sufficient for her to place that respect into the trash bin. Not to mention, a mid-Origin Core Realm expert as a backer would set her up nicely for the future. Each stage in the realm was like the difference between the earth and the sky.
She went silent, nodding towards him with a shy expression. Bai Lufeng could see her thoughts and couldn't help but laugh inwardly. There were countless people like this Lin Qinlin. The ones who act high and mighty to all those lower, but obedient and seeking favoritism from those stronger and more wealthy than themselves.
The non-cultivation world had a name for them: Gold-diggers.
Despite this, Bai Lufeng was ecstatic.
