Silence fell upon the debating platform when Ning Tian's words were heard.
Everyone looked at Ning Tian with baffled expressions, their eyes flickering with confusion.
It must be said, the words of the Ancestral Master were extremely imposing!
So high that they couldn't understand what he was talking about.
"What is he saying?"
"I don't know… This is completely beyond my scope of knowledge."
A group of proud geniuses scratched their heads, looking confusedly at each other.
What was this legendary Ancestor of the Demonic Sect talking about?
Ling Ao gave a cold snort, "Hmph! Nonsensical ravings, completely incomprehensible!"
"Formless and shapeless, silent and scentless, great without bounds, small without interior." The Holy Maiden of the Yaochi murmured softly, a hint of light flashed in her eyes, and she revealed a smile, astonishing the surrounding geniuses.
"Interesting."
"Truly quite fascinating."
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi's eyes lingered on Ning Tian, sensing unlimited secrets on him, drawing her curiosity.
"What are you saying?"
Yin Thirty frowned slightly, looking at Ning Tian with confusion.
"Alas, it's only because you lack culture," Ning Tian shook his head and sighed. "Read more books, reading is really important."
"This guy, he's definitely putting on airs!"
"So angry!"
"But, but I really don't understand."
Seeing Ning Tian's helpless look, the geniuses gnashed their teeth!
They knew he was showing off, but there was nothing they could do about it!
Of course, they didn't understand what Ning Tian was saying, because those words were from something Ning Tian found on Baidu before, which was not of their world; naturally, they didn't understand!
"According to what you're saying, if we don't understand, isn't it the same as if you haven't spoken?"
"You still haven't explained, what is the Dao."
Yin Thirty said, looking at Ning Tian calmly.
"Then listen well."
Ning Tian's expression gradually became serious, putting away the apple in his hand, "Next, I will tell you what the real Dao is!"
Upon hearing Ning Tian's words, the surroundings became excited, and on the debating platform, everyone's gazes were fixed on him.
"Finally, he's going to give a direct answer?"
Yin Thirty was stunned for a moment, and then a cold smile reappeared, "Oh? Then I'll listen attentively."
"The Great Dao is three thousand, within each Dao is its own understanding."
"There are three thousand Great Daos, I'll use the Sword Dao as an example. What is the Dao of the Sword? It is sword intent, it is the swordsman's understanding of the sword! Someone who cultivates the Sword Dao and comprehends the sword intent has then understood the Dao of the Sword."
"And so on for other Daos, there's no need for me to explain them all, right?"
Ning Tian revealed a smile at the corner of his mouth and spoke lightly.
Their questions were truly odd.
The Dao is simply the path a cultivator chooses to walk. There are three thousand Great Daos, each with its own way.
"Sword intent?"
Upon hearing Ning Tian's words, everyone fell silent.
Then, Ning Tian spoke again, "Out of the three thousand Daos, when you successfully cultivate any Dao, you actually already understand what that Dao is. Otherwise, how could you have succeeded in cultivation?"
"What!"
They kept repeating Ning Tian's words, their eyes widening in realization.
That's it!
When they succeeded in cultivating their chosen Dao, they had already understood what the Dao was!
Otherwise, how could they possibly succeed?
"Hiss…"
In an instant, Ning Tian's words directly enlightened hundreds of geniuses!!
One by one, as if waking from a dream, the confusion in their eyes disappeared, replaced by a brightness!
At that moment, they understood!
A kind of Dao intention within their bodies also surged up dramatically at that moment!
"Ha ha ha! My cultivation of the Sword Dao has reached a minor level of accomplishment!"
"I've broken through as well!"
"These words unravel hundreds of mysteries!"
When their confusion dissipated and their doubts were resolved, the Dao within their bodies broke through instantly!
Many geniuses were shocked after hearing Ning Tian's words!
Was the legendary Ancestor of the Demonic Sect really that miraculous?
"What!"
"This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Yin Thirty, after hearing those words, was instantly shocked, his eyes widening, muttering about impossibilities.
"If by cultivating the Dao, I understand the Dao, then wouldn't I be…"
His words were not yet finished.
Instantly, the chains of the Dao that had troubled him for years shattered, and he broke through!
"What… I…"
At the moment of breakthrough, Yin Thirty felt no joy, as just a second before he had said it was impossible, and the very next second, his body had honestly broken through.
This was undoubtedly slapping his own face!
Even Ling Ao, who had always been disdainful of Ning Tian, was shocked.
On the high platform.
The Elders' faces were full of shock, all of them staring at Ning Tian in astonishment.
"The Ancestor is divine."
The Great Elder couldn't help but let out a sigh, "Previously, the Ancestor broke the Dao hearts of many saints and divines with a single word, and now he can unravel mysteries with just one phrase!"
"Yes."
"With such an Ancestor, our Demonic Sect is truly blessed!"
A group of Elders nodded silently, filled with deep reverence for Ning Tian!
Even though Ning Tian's strength was far inferior to theirs, it didn't prevent them from revering him!
Luo Wuqing was silent, but her slightly open mouth and her eyes fixed on Ning Tian were enough to indicate the astonishment in her heart.
Ning Tian always managed to surprise her in different ways.
"It seems… I really guessed right?"
Seeing everyone with shocked faces, Ning Tian breathed a sigh of relief, and the seriousness on his face completely faded.
He had no idea what the Dao was.
Undoubtedly, it was nothing more than a last-minute effort, just saying something off the top of his head.
But unexpectedly, he just so happened to hit the mark.
If these geniuses knew, one could only imagine how interesting the expressions on their faces would be.
Ding!
The system's pleasant electronic voice sounded in his mind.
[You shocked everyone at the debate platform, reward: Skill Card: The Emperor's Strike!]
[The Emperor's Strike: Can launch the blow of an Empyrean Realm peak expert! Once the skill card is used, it becomes void!]
"Skill card?"
"The Emperor's Strike?"
Hearing the system's message, Ning Tian's eyes flashed with excitement. This thing was impressive!
The strike of an Empyrean Realm peak expert!
This was undoubtedly an invincible skill!
With a smile on his face, Ning Tian happily pocketed the skill card.
Just as he was about to turn around.
Suddenly, several voices rang out from behind.
"Ancestor, I wish to debate with you about the Music Dao!"
"Ancestor, me too."
"Ancestor I…"
"…"
"…"
Having witnessed the legendary Ancestor of the Demonic Sect exhibiting such miraculous insight, these geniuses were gleaming with excitement, eager not to miss an opportunity.
Seeing this, Ning Tian sighed.
"Even Ancestors have busy days, you know."
Despite the sigh, he could only helplessly step up once more.
