Chapter 972: Chapter 56: Zhao’s Two Classics Collection and Material Law Magic Theory, Sensation!
How many years has it been since Shangluo Academy witnessed such a grand occasion?!
It remains to be seen whether Zhao Xing can manage such a vast venue.
...
A discourse must follow a procedure, not just random talk.
In such a public setting, Zhao Xing will first be the principal speaker.
He will thoroughly explain the principles and laws.
High-grade individuals will pose questions and engage in a discourse with Zhao Xing.
Because Shangluo Academy is now the Minister of Agriculture’s Holy Land, the evaluation given to Zhao Xing by the luminaries is equivalent to an official endorsement.
This negates the need to seek a recommender and send details to the main institution, as was required at the Tianyuan Prefecture Branch.
At the opening of the discourse, the voice of the Ritual Repairer spreads throughout the Songshan Discourse Forest.
"To listen to the Dao, one must embody the quietude of propriety!"
The voice reverberates like a law within everyone’s mind, causing their bodies to instinctively fall silent.
No longer do they chatter noisily nor move about carelessly; they remain quietly in place, not overly excitable.
This method is also a form of the Ritualist Silence Technique but is more advanced and gentle, suitable to be used during lectures, sacrifices, and ceremonies.
"The order of propriety calms the Heart Monkey and Yi Ma."
The people of Songshan immediately cease their chaotic thoughts, aided by the Ritual Repairer in entering a focused learning state.
"The Po of propriety enhances the strength of all beings, nurtures their vitality, and enlightens their wisdom."
At this moment, a gentle golden light ripples over everyone’s bodies, significantly boosting their Seven Spirits temporarily.
Previously, they had achieved a state of absolute focus; now, their wisdom and strength have also increased.
The Dumbing-down Skill of the Ritual Repairer is opposed by the Enlightenment Skill.
Moreover, the Po of propriety deployed by Duke Wei provides a comprehensive enhancement.
Typically, these discourses last a long period, consuming much mental energy for those listening and pondering.
Thus, the opening Ritual Repairer not only temporarily enhanced the listeners’ cognitive and learning capacities but also boosted their physical strength.
Even a Ninth Grade, without eating or drinking for half a month, could remain in peak condition.
Zhao Xing glanced around and couldn’t help but nod slightly.
At this time, the Primordial Energy in the Songshan Discourse Forest formed a neatly unique arrangement, swirling around innumerable individuals.
Only a Holy Land like Shangluo Academy, rich in primordial energy and aided by arrays in its dojo, could enable the Ritual Repairer’s technique to command the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, radiating to such a vast extent with potent effect.
Even Zhao Xing himself was affected under the spell of a First Grade ritualist.
He sensed a short-term rise in his Seven Spirits, reaching an unprecedented peak state.
Everything was ready.
Zhao Xing ascended to the highest Divine Wood in the Songshan Discourse Forest.
On this high platform among the Divine Wood, exposed to the sky, the venue was set for profound and extensive discussions,
surrounded by eight slightly lower Divine Woods, reserved for the second phase questioners.
At this moment, the rings on the Divine Wood Sermon Platform emitted a radiant glow.
There was a Baihua cushion atop, where Zhao Xing sat cross-legged, feeling a coolness emanate.
As he sat, rings around the Divine Wood rose immediately.
Amplifying rings!
With no effort on Zhao Xing’s part, his voice could reach afar, uniformly resonating in everyone’s ears.
It was as though Zhao Xing was speaking intimately beside each listener’s ear.
"The root belongs to the plant, embodying three natures: material nature, self-nature, Dao nature." Zhao Xing’s voice flowed like a melody.
The discourse began again with "The Plant Magic Principle · Three Natures Theory."
For the "Self Theory of Heaven and Earth" further elucidates the three natures of plants.
"Material nature reveals its principle, self-nature sees the Dao, Dao nature manifests its method."
"Self embodies heaven and earth; to delve into the Path of Self is to witness the transformation of heaven and earth."
"Through material nature, understand its principle; through Dao nature, comprehend its method."
"What is the utility of principles?"
"To plant myriad herbs to alter heavenly timings, to cultivate myriad trees to foster earth advantages."
Zhao Xing began to expound on the central thought of his two classics.
"How to transform a region of poisonous miasma into fertile soil? The poisonous miasma arises because the heaven’s Six Qi are chaotic, intertwined with cold, yin, aridity, dusk, and brightness, it is the malevolent energy of the heavens."
"When plants integrate with the self, the Six Qi scatters, and balance between Yin and Yang restores, altering the heavenly timings."
"Earth Fire Lotuses take root on Flame Mountain; over time, Earth Fire transforms into Lesser Yang; as they are widely planted, hundreds of thousands of miles of Flame Mountain become Spirit Mountain."
"In deserts where dust storms ravage, planting a million trees can act as a barrier, transforming the desert into an oasis."
"Forests dense with growth result in abundant clouds and rain..."
At this juncture, the theories and principles have been addressed, yet they remain insufficiently concrete.
"The Path of Self nurtures Divine Branches and Celestial Trees, changing heavenly timings through material nature."
"The Fifth Rank Ling Xiao Wood loves absorbing the splendor of dawn and dusk, where its branches extend, cloud qi gathers."
"Its roots can channel the earth veins’ water. Planting Ling Xiao Woods extensively on mountain summits and open lands enhances cloud qi gathering ability; during severe droughts, the cloud qi gathered by Ling Xiao Woods thickens, inviting much-needed rain. This is the method of using plant nature to alter drought conditions."
"Heavenly timings’ Six Qi: wind, cold, heat, aridity, humidity, fire."
"The Four Seasons paired with Five Element Transport, known as ’Heavenly Timings Seasonal Movement,’ structure the annual heavenly timings within the Five-step Seasonal Movement, beginning with Wood Transport Season, followed by Fire Transport Season, Earth Season, Gold Transport Season, and concluding with Water Transport Season."
"If the dominant qi is chaotic within the Wood Element, rendering it unusable month after month, Ling Xiao Wood can be relocated to the east."
"After ten rotational years, during the seventy-three days and five quarters of Seasonal Movement, it can adjust the first to third-level disorder of the Wood Element’s dominant ’humidity’."
"Twenty rotational years can adjust the fourth to sixth levels of ’humidity disorder.’
"If the dominant qi disorder occurs within the Fire Element, Ling Xiao Wood can be planted in the true north; Fire and Wood phase in the north, damp qi can be balanced."
"If it’s the cold dominant qi disorder? Then plant it to the west, and in eight rotational quarters, it will dwell in winter as water seasonal movement... "
From this moment, Zhao Xing articulated concrete casting schemes,
integrating the ’internal Six Qi’ and ’Five Elements Seasonal Movement’ of the "Three Yin and Three Yang Six Qi Great Cycle Theory."
For even those at the Minister of Agriculture, who have not studied Heavenly Time Sect principles, can comprehend and apply it.
