Chapter 552: One With The Dao

"So where is Elder Cui?"

Tian Ruhai asked since most of them had already arrived. Even Xiao Canglan, who was busy writing the proper response for the rejection, had arrived and was seated on his seat with similar bewilderment as the others.

"No idea.." Qin Ruoxuan shook her head.

"What are the chances that she had called us again to discuss just the proposal?"

Zhao Tianheng had just said that when Cui Shuyin entered the pavilion.

"There is no need to speculate on that, Elder Zhao. I would have never summoned you all for something unnecessary like that.."

Cui Shuyin took her seat calmly.

Xiao Canglan’s lips twitched slightly, was she implying that his summoning them for the marriage proposal was worthless?

"Then why have you summoned us again, Elder Cui.." Duan Lie was curious.

The others also looked at Cui Shuyin with similar curiosity, just what had happened in the few moments after her leaving from the last gathering that she had to call them back..

"I am waiting for Supreme Elder Shi, he will be here shortly, so wait for some time.."

Others became even more intrigued, after all, they didn’t disturb the Supreme Elder unless it was absolutely necessary.

They all waited patiently when Shi Wen appeared inside the hall.

"Greetings, Supreme Elder..."

They all stood up and greeted Shi Wen as he took the main seat and nodded while gesturing for them to take their seats.

Cui Shuyin didn’t make them wait any longer.

"The thing I want to discuss with you all is related to the spirit mine.."

Qin Ruoxuan, Mo Qinghe, and Zhao Tianheng became a little attentive as they were the ones who had gone to reinforce the seal just recently.

"No matter how unbelievable it may feel to you all, but... there is someone behind that sealed portion."

As Cui Shuyin finished saying that, the others became absolutely silent, they were in disbelief upon hearing that.

Shi Wen’s expression turned into a frown, "When did you find out about this, Elder Cui.."

He didn’t want to doubt her, as given her status, it was highly unlikely that she was lying, but it was still unbelievable to him.

"Today itself, Supreme Elder Shi.."

Cui Shuyin didn’t specify how she found out about it but had left enough traces of her entering the mine just a few moments earlier before calling them, so if anyone wanted to dig deeper, they would only come to the conclusion that she was the one who found it.

Zhao Tianheng shook his head slightly, "This just doesn’t make sense.."

Of course, it didn’t make sense to anyone, they had thoroughly searched the inner portion before sealing it, so how could someone enter inside without breaking the seal?

Cui Shuyin understood how the others felt, after all, she had felt the same, if it wasn’t Lin Feng who had told her, she wouldn’t have believed it either.

"I am just as in disbelief as you all are, but it’s the truth no matter how much you deny it, I will suggest that we come up with some solution because we cannot gamble with the safety of the sect..."

Others nodded, as that was something that had to be done..

They all discussed the defensive measures that should be taken, and Cui Shuyin mentioned the cultivation realm of the hidden entity to take into consideration.

After a lengthy discussion, Shi Wen spoke something which the others wanted to avoid a little if possible.

"I will enter inside.."

These words made the others sigh slightly because they knew that Shi Wen was talking about entering inside the sealed portion of the mine..

In fact, he was the only person who could truly enter inside due to the imprint of his blood essence on the seal.

"Remove everyone from the mine, I will be there shortly.." Shi Wen said and left.

"I will see to that.." Tian Ruhai went to remove everyone from the mine.

Others decided to just go and wait outside the mine, they had to stay vigilant because if the battle broke out, then its impact might be felt by the whole sect.

...

In the Sword Pavilion, Lin Feng stayed in the spirit field for some time before leaving for his courtyard.

He doubted Elder Cui would be coming back today, so he decided to cultivate because he could feel that his understanding of Chaos was reaching the point where it might not be long before he could have a breakthrough..

It was faster than he had imagined, but he wasn’t much surprised since he had gotten a little fortunate in gaining some insights while observing the interaction between his Origin Dantian and Eternal Dao Lotus..

All he needed was just a little bit more to take the next step... which wasn’t easy given the fact that he wasn’t going to get fortunate all the time, but if he really went into dedicated cultivation, then he might be able to achieve it before the sect competition.

So he decided to just do that, but he didn’t go into closed-door cultivation because he wasn’t sure when the sect competition would truly begin, and since he had already decided to take part, he didn’t want to miss it..

He entered inside, used spirit stones to increase the concentration of spirit qi inside his chamber, before going into deep meditation..

Days passed by, and he kept comprehending the essence of Chaos..

He already knew what Chaos was, what he was truly trying to understand was its behavior, which in essence was almost impossible to understand because there was a reason why it was termed as Chaos..

The state with so much uncertainty that it was impossible to know if it was tame or destructive just by looking at it...

Few days later, he achieved the pinnacle state of meditation which was impossible to achieve just because you wanted to... one with the Dao.

This was the state which differed even geniuses from geniuses, the real definition of Supreme Talent.

In this state, Lin Feng’s whole being gave the feeling of him being Chaos itself..
