This three-eyed sable was completely purple, but its three eyes gave off a ghostly glow. It lay on Wang Lin's shoulder and looked at Wang Lin.
Its eyes revealed a mysterious light as it stared at Wang Lin and remained motionless.
Wang Lin looked at the sable. When he saw the sable on Elder Sun's body, he felt it was familiar. Now that he looked at it up close, especially with the third eye between its eyebrows, he felt like it was very familiar.
This sable's third eye seemed to contain specks of starlight. If one looked at it, they would be lost in it.
"Star-Marked Sable!
A young Star-Marked Sable! "Wang Lin's eyes narrowed as he recognized the sable's identity.
There were memories of this sable in the ancient god Tu Si's inheritance of knowledge. This sable was a mysterious creature that lived among the stars. Once it matured, it could transform into anything in the world, and it wasn't strange for it to take the form of a human.
It was the best material for creating puppets.
When it was young, this sable didn't have much offensive power, but its speed was unimaginably fast. In addition, this sable loved crystal stones. After devouring them for a long time, it would gradually grow.
In the ancient god Tu Si's memories, there were many Star-Marked Sables. If one used a young core to refine a treasure and placed a teleportation formation on it, its speed would reach an unimaginable level.
However, too much time had passed. Even if this sable hadn't gone extinct, there weren't many of them left.
In the era of the Ancient Gods, the Star-Marked Sable was the best pet, especially because of its speed. The Ancient Gods loved it, and at the same time, the Star-Marked Sable also liked the aura of young Ancient Gods. Often, they wouldn't even need to capture them; they would approach them on their own.
Being with a young ancient god was very beneficial for the Star-Marked Sable. As the young ancient god grew, the Star-Marked Sable would absorb a large amount of spiritual energy, which would increase its growth several fold.
This little sable's third eye was filled with starlight, but it hadn't reached the stage of the end of the world. It should have been around for less than 10,000 years.
Looking at this sable, Wang Lin's heart skipped a beat. He touched his bag of holding and a high quality spirit stone appeared in his hand. He placed it next to the sable's mouth.
The sable didn't even look at the spirit stone and only stared at Wang Lin. It revealed a puzzled expression before disappearing from Wang Lin's shoulder.
Wang Lin rubbed his chin. This sable obviously didn't care about the spirit stone. Could it have smelled the aura of an ancient god on his body?
Although Wang Lin also had the aura of an ancient god, it was very weak. This was something that remained after he fused with his original body, and after a long time, it would disappear.
The violet mink followed the aura over, yet it was extremely disappointed. Because this aura was truly too little in its opinion. Even though it didn't know what that aura was, it felt extremely comfortable upon smelling it, and it had never experienced such a feeling since it was born until now.
After putting away the spirit stone, Wang Lin's hand flashed. This time, a celestial jade appeared in his hand.
The moment the celestial jade appeared, there was a flash of purple light. When Wang Lin looked at his left hand, the celestial jade had already disappeared.
Wang Lin smiled as he took out another celestial jade. This time, he was completely focused on it. With a flash of purple light, the sable appeared above Wang Lin's left hand with an unimaginable speed. It didn't stop at all, it directly grabbed the celestial jade with its mouth and disappeared.
When the sable reappeared, it was on Elder Sun's shoulder. Its mouth was biting the celestial jade while its gaze occasionally swept over Wang Lin. It was especially focused on Wang Lin's bag of holding.
Elder Sun seemed to have noticed this. He faintly smiled at Wang Lin and nodded at him.
Tian Yunzi sat on the cloud and began to preach dao.
"The art of the Heavens is the fate of nine by nine returns to the origin. I can't say that I've seen through all divine abilities, but I've gained some understanding of the essence behind them. Cultivation, Dao cultivation. Dao cultivation. What is the word 'cultivation'?
"What is the word 'dao'?
"Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Soul Formation, Soul Transformation, and Ascendant.
"This is the first step of cultivation. The Old Man believes that it can all be summed up in the word 'cultivation'!"
When Wang Lin heard this, he suddenly looked at Tian Yunzi with rapt attention.
Since he began cultivating, he had relied on himself, so his cultivation methods were very varied. What he lacked the most was some profound insight.
"After Ascendant, there are the two realms of Illusory and Corporeal, and the three realms of Nirvana Shatterer. I presume some fellow cultivators are stuck at this point and can't advance any further. This is the second step of cultivation!
"This old man believes that the second step is the transition between Cultivation and Dao. How to completely transfer the spirit of the word Cultivation to the word Dao? That's the most important step!
"Unfortunately, even the Old Man is unable to completely comprehend it. It is as if there is a mysterious force that is interfering with our comprehension. We are constantly being interrupted for no reason."
The All-Seer's voice spread across the area as he explained his comprehension of cultivation.
The surroundings gradually became silent. Even Elder Sun from the Cultivation Alliance was silent, and his eyes were filled with helplessness.
One of the surrounding cultivators asked, "Senior Tian Yunzi, what is the third step of cultivation?"
This person was wearing black and stood there. There was no cultivator within 100 feet of him, and he gave off a fierce aura.
There was a hideous scar on his face that went through his eyebrows and down his neck.
Tian Yunzi looked at this person and said, "The third step is the true meaning of dao. Countless years of cultivation are all for the sake of seeking dao. Once this word" dao "is cultivated, it can reach an unimaginable height. However, the Old Man doesn't know how to cultivate it … The Old Man's dao is the fate of the heavens. If the fate of the heavens arrives, then everything will become powerful. If the fate of the heavens doesn't arrive, then everything will turn to dust. Tens of thousands of years of cultivation will be swept away."
The surroundings became silent once more. Wang Lin revealed a pondering expression as he carefully pondered Tian Yunzi's words.
"Cultivation is divided into three steps, and I haven't even finished the first step. The path after this will be even more difficult and difficult than it is now. It is said that cultivation is heaven-defying, and this is true.
"If even Tian Yunzi doesn't know the path of the third step, then does the third step really exist …" Wang Lin pondered.
Tian Yunzi's gaze swept past Wang Lin. At this moment, Wang Lin raised his head and met Tian Yunzi's gaze.
It was as if he had seen through Wang Lin's heart. Tian Yunzi let out a kind smile as he looked at Wang Lin and said, "Wang Lin, do you have any questions?"
After Tian Yunzi spoke, all of the surrounding cultivators' gazes gathered on Wang Lin. The disciples of the other six divisions all looked at Wang Lin.
It has to be said that it was a great honor to be personally questioned by their teacher in this kind of situation.
Wang Lin's expression was neutral as he clasped his hands at Tian Yunzi and respectfully said, "Teacher, there is something disciple doesn't understand."
Tian Yunzi stroked his white beard and nodded with a smile. "Let's hear it."
"Disciple has some questions about the word 'cultivation'. My generation often talks about celestial cultivation, truth cultivation, and dao cultivation. Teacher only explains dao cultivation, but what about celestial cultivation?
What about truth cultivation?
Could it be that these two sayings appeared out of thin air? "
Tian Yunzi faintly smiled and revealed a look of admiration. At this moment, even Elder Sun from the Cultivation Alliance revealed a smile and looked meaningfully at Wang Lin.
"Celestial cultivation no longer exists!
"Celestial cultivation comes from ancient times. Back then, the Celestial Realm was the holy land of cultivation!
That's why there is the word 'celestial cultivation'!
"What is truth?
Truth was the truth of everything. After the Immortal Realm disappeared, cultivators were like trees without roots. They had no home to return to and wandered the world alone. At this moment, cultivation had lost its meaning, so truth became the root of all cultivation. From then on, there was the Path of Truth. Speaking of truth, it was also the cultivation of oneself.
"Now that celestial cultivation and truth have disappeared, we are pursuing dao in the past!
"However, this dao is not the heavenly dao!"
Tian Yunzi's voice was slow, and he paused for a moment.
The surrounding cultivators began to talk uncontrollably.
"Cultivators don't cultivate the heavenly dao." These words set off a huge wave. These words seemed to contradict what Tian Yunzi had said before. At this moment, many questions arose among the cultivators.
However, the powerful cultivators all had calm expressions, and their eyes were filled with melancholy. Tian Yunzi's words sounded the same to them. However, sometimes these words couldn't be said out loud, or else it would cause some trouble.
Elder Sun from the Cultivation Alliance frowned. He coughed and looked at Tian Yunzi.
Tian Yunzi faintly smiled and slowly said, "The dao of cultivation is a path. Because we don't know the third step, we are looking for a path to the third step. This is another explanation for the dao of cultivation!
Wang Lin, do you have any answers? "
Wang Lin pondered for a moment, and after a while, he shook his head.
"Disciple wonders if there really is a third step cultivator …"
Tian Yunzi let out a sigh. There was a rare hint of reminiscence in his eyes as he slowly said, "30,000 years ago, the Old Man was the same as you. He didn't believe that a third step cultivator existed until I met him!"
Elder Sun obviously knew who "he" was. After he heard this, his expression became ugly. His eyes were also filled with reminiscence, but there was even more fear in his eyes.
After he spoke, the surrounding cultivators became abnormally silent. Only the powerful cultivators revealed mysterious lights in their eyes.
"Senior Tian Yunzi, who is he?"
"Old friend Tian Yunzi, can you speak clearly?"
"Tian Yunzi, what do you mean?"
More and more discussions appeared, and all of them pointed at the "he" that Tian Yunzi mentioned.
Elder Sun's expression was ugly as he said, "Enough! Tian Yunzi, don't bring this up again!"
Tian Yunzi looked at Elder Sun and smiled. "In truth, I'm very lucky that I was able to discover during my time of confusion that this person has already entered the third step!"
