Later, it may not always be the right thing to do.
Grasping the right opportunity and establishing one's own advantage when others' footing is not stable, this is the meaning of pre-empting others.
"Before comprehending the Dao, one must first deal with this illusion formation. That is to say, one must either have the means to break it or the willpower to overcome it. Only then will one have the qualifications to comprehend the Dao," muttered Ye Feng.
So he continued his own way: he would bend down, close his eyes, touch the ground, and then he would move on, and touch the ground.
On the other side, the white-robed little boy focused on using the spirit energy to search for a while. Suddenly, a divine light flashed in his eyes.
In an instant, the scene in the middle of the spiritual altar changed,
Ye Feng's slightly strange movements appeared in the middle of the blue flames, causing everyone to stare.
"Pfft." Someone could not help but laugh. "I heard that Ye Feng is a strange person earlier. Now that I've met him today, it seems like the rumors are true."
"Haha, that's right. When I saw him come over with a real person, I thought he had some tricks up his sleeves. I didn't expect him to be just a weird person."
The light in the white-robed child's eyes gradually gathered. He raised his head and chuckled. His voice was filled with disdain.
"What do you know? You can't even tell that he's trying to break the formation by force, and yet you still have the nerve to speak of him? No wonder he can only pay fifty gold coins to be a spectator, he doesn't even have the chance to participate in the comprehension of the Dao."
"What did you say?" Everyone was startled when they heard this. Some of them even became excited because of this.
At this time, a melodious voice came from the main door of the Heavenly Mystery Palace.
"Gu Hao, don't be rude."
After the white-robed child heard this, his expression slightly changed, "Yes, Gu Hao knows his wrongs, master, please calm your anger."
As soon as he said this, the contemptuous smile on his face suddenly disappeared. It was incomparably calm and serene, like a Buddha statue standing there with an extremely solemn expression.
The rest of the people raised their heads up and looked at the location of the entrance to the Heavenly Mystery Palace. They were all incomparably shocked in their hearts.
Could it be that someone could detect what was happening outside the Heavenly Mystery Palace without seeing or hearing?
Elder Zhao was slightly startled, but he immediately laughed. "Daoist Master Le Feng's talent is extremely interesting every time I see it."
Some people, since it was their first time here and they did not know about Daoist Master Le Feng's situation, were confused upon hearing this.
"Daoist Master Zhao, what do you mean by that?"
Elder Zhao smiled. "Daoist Master Le Feng's talent is called Insight. Even if he closes his eyes and gathers his ears, everything within a mile's radius can be projected into his mind."
"This …" Everyone could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. They began to check their words and actions, afraid that Daoist Master Le Feng would discover that they were not decent.
"But then again, isn't this talent too heaven-defying?" someone lamented.
Elder Zhao stroked his beard and laughed. "Of course. Otherwise, how could this matter of talent be described as one in a million? However, don't think too much about it. I think it would be great if someone could comprehend the Dao this time."
Comprehension and talent were actually related to each other step by step, and not separate.
It could be said that comprehending the Dao was a prerequisite for talent.
After a moment of silence, someone couldn't help but point at the blue flame in the spiritual altar and speak in a daze.
"Look, Ye Feng seems to be inside, look at us."
… ….
The sand is built into towers, the water drips through the rocks,
Ye Feng's seemingly innocent and ridiculous actions gradually played a role as time passed.
The reason for that was because every time he touched the ground, it would actually be in the shape of a small formation.
Most formations were placed on the ground and the fluctuations of spirit energy coming from the ground would be different. Ye Feng was observing the differences in the fluctuations of spirit energy as he slowly moved forward.
Of course, he wouldn't just break it open and let Wang Tian Zhi and the rest get away with it.
Therefore, every time he would stop at a point and make a mark, making it easier for him to understand the structure of this illusion formation.
It was just like the Blue Flaming Spiritual Altar that the white-robed child had made. Due to the fact that the spiritual energy within it was relatively weak, it had already been discovered and seen through by Ye Feng.
"This kid isn't in a hurry to find an opportunity to comprehend the Dao. First, he has to learn from this illusion formation. That's really rare." Daoist Master Le Feng meaningfully looked at Ye Feng with a hint of approval in his eyes.
"Hehe, I'm just afraid that he would turn the tables around and wholeheartedly break the formation. Instead, he neglected the matter of comprehending the Dao." A woman wearing a black veil had a proud expression as her lips curled into a sneer.
"That's true... But then again, Fairy Feng, it's rare for you to come out of Medicine Mountain. It seems that you're very interested in this young man. "Daoist Master Le Feng faintly smiled and said.
Fairy Feng had always been partial to a corner, wholeheartedly cultivating within the peak. She rarely communicated with the outside world and rarely left the peak.
Fairy Feng's eyes flashed with an awkward light. "To tell you the truth, he declined my invitation to take him in twice and then broke through to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining. It would be a lie to say that he has no interest in comprehending the Dao."
Paper could not contain fire. Fairy Feng's public rejection had already spread through the Gate of Wonders. She no longer hid anything, so it was better for her to be generous and admit it herself.
Hearing this, Daoist Master Le Feng was startled. "So that's how it is. I have heard of this matter before, but I didn't expect that the one who rejected Fairy Feng to be him …"
As a result, his interest in Ye Feng increased by quite a bit.
His eyes gradually narrowed into a line, and he began to focus more and more of his attention on Ye Feng.
… ….
Wang Tian Zhi and Young Master Hua came back to their senses after a while.
No matter what, they still couldn't stay where they were.
Both of them had the same enemy, Ye Feng. The enemy of their enemy was their friend. They might not even understand the dao, but they definitely could not let Ye Feng succeed.
They had wanted to reach the staircase, but they discovered that the distance was not that far. If they really did walk, there would be no end to it.
Since he couldn't go straight to the second level of the Heavenly Mystery Palace, he had no choice but to give up and return to his original place.
"Brother Tianzhi, why don't we follow the path that Leaves has taken?"
"This... "I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate. Normally, he would have held back when he was doing things. If he had followed right now, it would have been like falling into his rhythm."
After all, Wang Tian Zhi had already been taught a lesson by Ye Feng. If he still didn't know how to repent and was arrogant, then he would really be a fool.
"But... "This illusion array looks endless. If we just rely on ourselves, how would we be able to break through it?" Young Master Hua sighed in annoyance.
If he had known earlier that this formation was so hard to deal with, he would have at least held Ye Feng back. At the very least, he wouldn't have let it go.
Wang Tian Zhi pondered and said: "Breaking the formation... "That shouldn't be right. We're here to comprehend the dao, so why are we here to break the formation? If some people can't break the formation, then they won't be able to comprehend the dao. I think that Daoist Master Le Feng must have set up this formation for some reason."
Wang Tian Zhi calmed down and started to ponder. Suddenly, a ray of light flashed past his eyes.
"Could it be that this spell formation itself is a type of Dao?"
Just as he was feeling proud of his accidental discovery, he heard Qing Xuan say timidly, "Even so, what are you going to do after this?"
"Little girl, how dare you speak ill of me." Wang Tian Zhi frowned deeply as a trace of anger appeared on his face.
Young Master Hua coughed and advised, "Alright, Tianji. Don't scare the child."
Wang Tianzhi coldly humphed.
Young Master Hua chuckled as he turned his head to look at Qing Xuan.
"You are Qing Xuan, right? Since you are participating in this competition to comprehend the dao as Spiritual Master Zhao's disciple, I believe that you must have your own uniqueness too. How about the three of us join forces to eliminate Ye Feng first and then continue to fight for the opportunity to comprehend the dao?"
"This …" Qing Xuan started to hesitate. Her master, Elder Zhao, had told her not to listen to Ye Feng, but not to fight Ye Feng together with Wang Tian Zhi.
She finally chose to shake her head. "Forget it. I'm still alone. I'm not used to traveling together with others."
She paused for a moment before continuing, "But before leaving, I still have to tell you all that breaking through this illusion formation is not bad, and breaking through with strength is also possible."
Wang Tian Zhi heard it and suddenly felt enlightened.
"That's right. Although this formation can be understood through skill and complete the process of a coincidental breakthrough, this is the way of the wise. However, for those who are used to crushing others with their strength, breaking through with force is the way of the brave."
If it was a real person who said that, Wang Tian Zhi would naturally thank Ye Xiao repeatedly. However, it was actually said by a timid girl who didn't even dare to say anything. It made him feel weird.
If Wang Tianzhi discovered that this formation was a Dao, and that it was the first step, he would discover the existence of Dao.
As such, under Qing Xuan's suggestion, it could be considered as having completed the second step and discovered the type of dao.
As a result, there was a third step.
"Young Master Hua, I was too tied up just now. Everyone has their own path, there's no need to follow Ye Feng. Let's go forward," thought Wang Tian Zhi after he understood this point.
Qing Xuan looked at Wang Tianzhi's back as it gradually disappeared into the distance. She giggled. When this laughter fell into the eyes of the people outside the Tian Ji Palace, no matter how they listened, they felt their hairs stand on end.
Everyone has his own way, you don't have to follow it,
However, since Ye Feng decided to make the first move, he would follow the path of others, leaving them with no other choice.
