Chapter Index

    Three hundred feet above the cliff, there was a dark cave entrance. Pei Yuan led Lu Yexing to this place, stopped, pointed at the cave entrance and said, “Fellow Daoist Lu, entering from this cave entrance is the Holy Land. There are many spiritual pattern masters gathered in it now, and there may be more people coming here in the future. I hope fellow Taoist can gain something from it.”

    “Thank you, Sect Master Pei!” Lu Ye thanked him.

    Pei Yuan was only responsible for leading Lu Ye here, but he had no intention of going deep into it, so he quickly turned around and left.

    After watching him leave, Lu Ye stepped into the entrance of the cave. The passage inside the cave was wide enough to accommodate several people walking side by side. With his spiritual perception, he could detect that there was a lot of vitality gathering deep in the cave. They must have been spiritual pattern masters from all over Kyushu who came to observe and practice.

    Lu Ye walked straight towards the inside, and after walking for half a cup of tea, there was a vague sound of someone talking in front of him. He listened carefully, as if they were arguing about something.

    Continuing to move forward, after a while, a huge cave came into view.

    There are dots of light all around and dotted with strange rocks, making the cave not only not dim, but as bright as day.

    Looking at the cave, there are quite a lot of people gathered in the cave, probably hundreds of people. Some are gathered together, some are sitting cross-legged in front of the cave wall, watching intently, and some are sitting in pairs with a jade plate in front of them, each driven by their spiritual power, as if they are competing with each other.

    Various sounds came into my ears, which seemed very lively.

    Lu Ye didn’t expect that this place would be like this. He originally thought that this so-called holy land must be a peaceful and peaceful place, but now he realized that he had overthought it.

    Turning around and looking around, I found that the interior of the cave was full of flat and smooth stone surfaces, and those stone surfaces were engraved with various complicated patterns. If a monk who was not familiar with the spiritual pattern saw it, he would be dizzy and confused. However, for spiritual pattern masters, these complicated patterns contain great principles, and they are good things that need to be carefully understood and observed.

    When Lu Ye walked in, some people noticed it, but they just looked at him casually for a few times and paid no attention to him. Nowadays, people often come and go in the holy land of Shenwen Sect. People with young faces like Lu Ye are not an exception, so naturally they don’t attract attention.

    Following the sound of the quarrel, he came to a smooth stone wall. Lu Ye listened silently for a moment before he figured it out. It was obvious that the spirit pattern masters gathered here had different opinions on the patterns engraved on the stone wall. Several people on one side believed that the patterns were the prototype of a certain spirit pattern, while several people on the other side thought they were the prototype of another spirit pattern. Both sides held their own opinions and the quarrel was intense.

    Lu Ye saw the opportunity and joined in to express his opinion, but he was soon drowned in the saliva from both sides. This battle was something he had never experienced before. Facing a group of seniors who were older than him and had been immersed in this way for longer, Lu Ye couldn’t argue with them too much, so he could only stand aside and watch.

    However, the two monks did not quarrel for too long, because in the dispute about the spirit pattern, there is no way to determine the winner or lose verbally. The public is right and the mother-in-law is right, and no one is right.

    Then you can only see the real chapter under your hands.

    It’s not like fighting to the death like ordinary battles. Everyone is a spirit pattern master, so the competition is naturally about things in the spirit pattern path.

    Just take the lines in the dispute as the basis, and each will try their best to deduce them. Whoever derives the most stable spiritual lines will be the winner.

    This is also the most tacit fighting method among the spirit pattern masters gathered here. Lu Ye has never seen it before, and it was quite novel for a moment.

    Silently blending into it, he took out a jade plate specially used by spirit pattern masters, and activated his spiritual power to start constructing the duality of yin and yang on the jade plate.

    The lines on the stone wall are incomplete. If you want to use this to deduce a new spirit pattern, it will undoubtedly test the skill of the spirit pattern master.

    Lu Ye didn’t know how the other spirit pattern masters were progressing, but he was making good progress. Perhaps it was because of the characteristics brought about after the second transformation of the talent tree. When it came to deriving spirit patterns, he always had many fantastic ideas that others could not match.

    Half an hour later, the jade plate in Lu Ye’s hand flashed with light, and a spiritual pattern was finalized.

    This abnormality immediately attracted the attention of other spirit pattern masters who were working hard, and they all came to pay attention. They were all surprised. No one expected that among so many people present, this boy who seemed to be the youngest was the first to come up with the results.

    There was no need to continue to deduce, they all gathered around, passing Lu Ye’s jade plate around, looking at it, and commenting from time to time.

    Although this newly derived spiritual pattern has shortcomings, it is undeniable that it is indeed a formed spiritual pattern because it can exist stably on the jade plate.

    Of course, just because it can exist stably and actually take shape doesn’t mean it’s useful!

    There are two types of spirit patterns. One is a useful spirit pattern, which can play a role in fighting, practice or other fields. The other is what Lu Ye deduced at this moment. It is a useless spirit pattern. It can only exist simply but cannot play any practical role.

    There are actually many such spirit patterns, and most of them are used by spirit pattern masters for research. Basically every spirit pattern master can derive many useless spirit patterns.

    Of course, useless and useful can often transform into each other. A useless spiritual pattern may turn into a useful spiritual pattern with just a few minor changes in details.

    Similarly, those useful spiritual patterns, if the arrangement and connection of one or two yin and yang dyads are changed, will turn into useless spiritual patterns, or even fail to take shape.

    After some comments, the two spirit pattern masters fell into a new round of quarrel. Each felt that the spirit patterns deduced by Lu Ye belonged to the field they identified.

    Lu Ye discovered one thing. These spirit pattern masters all had a tough-tongued nature and refused to obey anyone. If these guys died for a hundred years, they might still have a mouth left.

    During the commotion, everyone suddenly turned their attention to Lu Ye. The virtuous and respected old man asked: “My little friend, you deduced this spirit pattern. Please tell me what characteristics this spirit pattern should have!”

    Lu Ye looked confused and hesitated for a while: “I think… what you all said makes sense!”

    A group of people immediately glared at him!

    After all, there was no good end for the wall-riding faction. Lu Ye was quickly excluded from this circle. He didn’t care and continued to walk aside to observe other lines on the stone wall.

    There is no doubt that these patterns were left by the powerful spirit pattern masters of the former Kyushu era. This may have been a place where some spirit pattern masters practiced in seclusion. They engraved some of their insights on the stone walls, which have been passed down to this day over the years.

    Later comers come here to observe the legacy of their ancestors, gain some inspiration from it, and then improve their own spiritual patterns.

    Over time, this place has become a sacred place for spirit pattern masters.

    In fact, there is nothing special. People who are not spiritual pattern masters will not get any practical benefits from coming here. However, real spirit pattern masters are eager for such a treasure land, and those who can come here and are qualified to come here are all those who have extremely high attainments in the spiritual pattern path. Those who are not knowledgeable enough will not be led here.

    In the first few days, the spirit pattern masters still ignored Lu Ye because of his age, but as time passed, when Lu Ye gradually revealed his attainments in the spirit pattern, many spirit pattern masters truly regarded him as a comrade.

    Lu Ye would sometimes observe and understand the lines on the stone walls on his own, sometimes discuss and compete with other spirit pattern masters, and would also join in some debates from time to time.

    In such a place, no one knows that he is Lu Yiye of the Blue Blood Sect, and he does not know other people’s names. Regardless of men, women, old or young, they are all like-minded people who are pursuing the path of spiritual patterns and are true Taoist friends.

    Such an atmosphere is an extremely rare experience for a spirit pattern master, and it is undoubtedly much more effective than practicing behind closed doors.

    Lu Ye can benefit from mutual discussions with every spiritual pattern master. In this way, by eliminating the bad and retaining the good, he can get the best of all the schools.

    Lu Ye once again forgot about the passage of time and was completely immersed in it. Unknowingly, his attainments in the spiritual pattern were constantly improving.

    Under his purposeful arrangement, he had in-depth one-on-one communications with almost all the spirit pattern masters here.

    Many spirit pattern masters have gradually realized his profound knowledge in the spirit pattern. No one looks down on him because of his age. Many times, they will even come to him to make a judgment when the dispute is unclear.

    At this time, Lu Ye found it quite difficult, because no matter which side he was on, the other side would not be convinced. In the end, he could only decide the outcome in the spirit pattern master’s way.

    Time flies like this, and March has passed.

    On this day, two more spirit pattern masters were arguing over the patterns on a stone wall. After arguing to no avail, they decided to let Lu Ye make the judgement.

    When he turned around, he found Lu Ye sitting on a stone wall, motionless, as if he had fallen into a deep trance!

    “Don’t disturb others. This little fellow Taoist entered samadhi three days ago and seems to have some enlightenment.” Someone said.

    “Then let’s keep our voices down. It’s an opportunity to gain some insights here, but don’t ruin other people’s good deeds.”

    Everyone nodded.

    Lu Ye was indeed entering trance, but not because of enlightenment, but because he was reliving the many burdens on the leaves of the talent tree.

    The leaves of the talent tree carry not only complete spiritual patterns, but also the skills of spiritual pattern construction and even many insights into the spiritual patterns.

    Lu Ye didn’t know where these insights into the spirit patterns came from, just as he didn’t know how those spiritual patterns appeared.

    But there is no doubt that these insights are rare treasures for any spirit pattern master, allowing Lu Ye to achieve higher achievements based on the insights here.
