Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Yin and Yang Divergent Sword is a technique, which integrates into Sword Intent when melded with Yin-Yang Dao.

For the Grandmaster Path, one becomes the Dao itself, hence every action is a technique.

It's easy to cultivate techniques through the Dao, but to comprehend the Dao via techniques is as difficult as sailing against the current or climbing to the heavens.

However, with the support of the system panel, Li Hao had already grasped the principles of the Yin-Yang Dao while cultivating this swordsmanship.

Therefore, everything the opponent was saying at the moment, he could understand completely. Moreover, he knew that the opponent had hidden some core aspects, namely their peerless technique.

After all, that's a trump card to be conscientiously passed down even to a disciple.

As the first Grandmaster finished expounding his Dao and threw out a "please advise" to the audience below, a brief silence was soon broken by another Grandmaster stepping onto the stage to refute with their own Dao, arguing that the Yin-Yang Dao was not perfect.

And the Dao of this Grandmaster was the Ape Dao.

He named it himself for the very reason that since his youth he had observed monkeys, discerning the principles of heaven and martial arts from them, which led him to the Dao.

For his disciples, the first step upon entering his school was often to start by observing apes, too.

The cultivation techniques he created were all related to apes.

When Grandmasters discussed the Dao, it was not just a matter of eloquence, but also of physical prowess.

Soon, the two Grandmasters sparred with each other, both highly restrained, aiming just to touch upon their techniques. It was the kind of spar where it was difficult to tell who was superior.

The Ape Dao Grandmaster wielded an iron staff with agile and unpredictable moves, devoid of any patterns, while the Yin-Yang Dao Grandmaster's attacks, merging the illusory with the real, were also enigmatic and elusive, each with their own strengths.

While sparring with each other, they were also learning and thinking, and after the exchange, both reaped considerable benefits.

But this Dao debate took up an entire hour.

Previous Grandmaster Dao debates lasted for at least three days, with some even lasting half a month—they were not conferences that could be completed in just a day or two.

Li Hao thought it would be fascinating at first, but as he watched, he began to feel somewhat bored.

He immediately understood the Dao discussed by the two, but they kept going on and on, elaborating over and over with lengthy speeches, as if afraid others wouldn't understand.

He just wanted to slide the progress bar or click on double speed, but alas, this was reality, and he had no power to manipulate time.

He could only sit restlessly, fidgeting uncomfortably.

Finally, the next Grandmaster took the stage.

Some practiced the Feather Transformation Tao, entering the Dao through observing the metamorphosis of butterflies.

Some followed the Five Elements Tao, using their five viscera as a foundation, developing into five great mountains with stable and endless offense and defense.

Some delved into the Crimson Flame Tao, utilizing the offensive prowess of the fire element among the Five Elements to break through all techniques.

With just a bit of listening, Li Hao could understand the concepts of these Grandmasters' Dao realms. The types of cultivation techniques he practiced were diverse, and many of these had also been established by various Grandmasters, encompassing numerous martial art concepts.

It was precisely because of this that he could cultivate an expansive mindset and martial knowledge that embraced all things.

And upon listening, Li Hao discovered the simpler the Grandmaster Path, the easier it was to comprehend to an incredibly profound level, thus stepping into the Great Grandmaster Realm more quickly. ѕҽε-

For example, the Grandmaster of the Crimson Flame Dao even managed to gain a slight advantage over the Grandmaster of the Five Elements Dao.

The previous Ape Dao Grandmaster, when sparring with the Yin-Yang Dao Grandmaster, also saw that the span of Dao Intent in Yin-Yang Dao was broader, but regretfully, the Grandmaster had not comprehended it to the deepest level.

"The great Dao is the simplest..."

Li Hao had an epiphany.

This was also what he was seeking here. He could grasp the Dao realms of all things one by one, but it would take a lot of time, and the effect on his own power would not be significant. In short, the cost-benefit was not high.

Hence, what he sought was the core of all things, a process from complex to simple.

If he continued to pursue complex Dao realms, he would find himself in the same situation as the Yin-Yang Dao Grandmaster, spending time expanding the breadth of his Dao realm, only to ultimately hinder his cultivation and be overtaken by those Grandmasters with a singular Dao realm.

The principle of "one move fresh beats all" applies everywhere.

If it doesn't work, it means this move hasn't been practiced to perfection.

But if one could condense the complex Dao into a single move, then this move would undoubtedly be incredibly formidable, beyond imagination!

Li Hao silently listened, seeking the flash of inspiration in their conversation.

This flash was the commonality he sought in all things.

Regrettably, that hint of inspiration showed no signs of emerging.

"Amitabha."

"The Grandmaster Path I cultivate derives from the roots of human nature, the Wrath Dao, being one of the three poisons: greed, anger, and delusion!"

The Kasaya-clad young man stepped onto the stage, his garment symbolizing a certain existence that quieted the whispers of the Grandmasters sitting below.

"The Wrath Dao?"

"Can one enter the Dao through emotions?"

"Worthy of being a direct disciple of the Buddha Lord, what an ingenious angle for entering the Dao!"

Hearing the other party's speech, many Grandmasters were astonished, experiencing a sudden understanding.

Most Grandmasters entered the Dao by observing the heavens and earth, the sun, the moon, the stars, and all creatures. But this young man had entered the Dao through human nature, which was somewhat peculiar and rare.

Seeing the Kasaya on the other person, Li Hao frowned slightly, a subtle sharpness flashing in his eyes.

Mount Wuliang.

The poison behind the pill sought by that vile woman was facilitated by Mount Wuliang.

In fact, it was very likely that Mount Wuliang intended for this to occur, or even actively enticed it!

Otherwise, even if that venomous woman had the inclination, without knowledge of such a pill, she would have had to choose another method.

"As long as there is life, there are the primal thoughts of greed, anger, and delusion. Demons crave blood, characteristic of greed. Aggressive temperaments signify wrath. Even plants follow suit; growing towards the sun is greed, rooting deeply and spreading is wrath..."
