“You are talking nonsense!”
Wei Feng’s face darkened, immediately retorting. “The divine pattern resonance technique recorded in my divine kingdom’s classics is precisely the supreme method for harmonising divine soul and spiritual energy. You did not even understand it, yet you dare to comment recklessly?”
“Oh? Divine pattern resonance technique?”
Chen Ping raised his eyebrow, as if interested. “Is it through the mental fluctuations when drawing divine patterns, guiding spiritual energy to operate at a specific frequency? If so, this method is too outdated.”
He paused, his voice clearly spreading throughout the field. “The essence of divine patterns is the manifestation of heaven and earth rules. True resonance is not deliberate guidance, but letting the divine soul integrate into the rules themselves.
Just like water naturally diverting when encountering stones, without forced control. You cling to fixed divine pattern designs, instead binding the nature of spiritual energy. This is abandoning the root and chasing the branch.”
These words seemed simple, yet they directly pointed out the core flaws of the divine pattern technique. Even Zi Yuan could not help but flash a trace of surprise in her eyes.
Wei Feng’s face flushed red, forcing a defence. “Utter nonsense! How can our divine kingdom’s techniques, inherited for ten thousand years, be slandered by an outsider cultivator like you? You say our knowledge is useless, then what profound learning do you have?”
Chen Ping smiled slightly, looking around. “Knowledge is not about quantity, but about quality. For example, earlier I saw a student practising spatial divine ability, only forcibly tearing the void, unaware of the trick of ‘space folding’.
Using the divine soul as a mirror to reflect the folds of space, only a trace of spiritual energy is needed to leverage a hundred-mile distance, far more efficient than brute force tearing by a hundred times.”
He casually picked up a dry branch, drawing a simple folding symbol on the ground. “Understand this symbol, then operate the divine soul to sense it. Try it and see.”
A student who had just manipulated spatial power tried Chen Ping’s method sceptically. In just a moment, he exclaimed in surprise. “It is true! I feel the surrounding space has softened, mobilising it is effortless!”
This caused an uproar in the entire field. Even Wei Feng was stunned. That advanced method of spatial divine ability, even he only knew the basics. Chen Ping could actually explain it in one sentence?
“Hmph, you just know some techniques!” Wei Feng immediately took out an ancient book. “This is ‘Heaven and Earth Divine Treatise’ personally written by my divine race ancestor, containing the ultimate insights into the great dao rules. A loose cultivator from a lower world like you cannot understand it at all?”
Chen Ping glanced at it, realising that the so-called Heaven and Earth Divine Treatise was one he had seen in the library, so he smiled faintly. “Like what this book says, ‘The divine race should rank nobility by bloodline, all non-divine race are ants’. But all things in heaven and earth have spirit. Even ants can shake trees. What does bloodline prove?
Moreover, in the cultivation chapter, it blindly emphasises step-by-step absorption of immortal vein spiritual energy, but does not mention how to break through in desperate situations. If leaving the divine kingdom’s immortal vein treasures, how much strength would these students have?”
His speech was neither hurried nor slow, each sentence precisely poking at the biases in the ancient book.
Wei Feng’s face flushed red, pointing at Chen Ping for a long time without speaking. “You… this is fallacious reasoning! How can my divine race’s classics be questioned by you? If you have the ability, explain it clearly. If you cannot, today you must pay the price for blaspheming the ancestors!”
A trace of surprise flashed in Zi Yuan’s eyes. She did not expect that just now in the library, Chen Ping had only casually flipped through, yet he could remember the contents of the books. Even more unexpected, he could propose insights on the divine race classics.
So Zi Yuan followed the topic. “Since Young Master Wei is interested, why not let Fellow Daoist Chen speak? It is just right for us to hear different views.”
Wei Feng immediately perked up, assuming a debating stance. “Good! Then I ask you, in the ‘Hongmeng Scripture’ it records ‘Divine patterns are the imprints from the beginning of heaven and earth, non-divine race bloodline cannot activate them’. Do you dare to refute?”
