Chapter 1114: Stillness Leads to Far-reaching Goals!

Divine Dao laws are not laws used only by Divine Dao powerhouses.

Rather, Divine Dao laws are the power of laws that only Divine Dao powerhouses can comprehend.

Dao Profound powerhouses, whose lives have not yet undergone a leap, cannot touch the true power of the origin.

However, ever since Divine Dao powerhouses created divine inscriptions, recording the power of laws in the form of golden characters, this became possible.

Although divine inscriptions cannot truly describe the power of the origin, they express the ethereal Dao origin in a simple way.

And this gives Dao Profound martial artists an opportunity to comprehend the Dao origin.

Although comprehending divine inscriptions is also very difficult, it is much simpler compared to the true Dao origin.

Of course, for powerhouses like Tianli and the Saint Demon Flower, who are originally Divine Dao powerhouses and have already comprehended the Dao origin, using Divine Dao laws is naturally a piece of cake.

Moreover, their understanding of the Heavenly Dao must be much deeper than that of a Dao Profound martial artist like Ye Yuan.

The fact that Tianli could send the three kings flying with one move already speaks volumes.

"The reason divine artifacts are powerful is naturally because they are driven by Divine Dao power. Every divine artifact is inscribed with extremely profound laws. Only by activating the power of laws can the full power of a divine artifact be unleashed," Tianli said.

Ye Yuan felt deeply ashamed upon hearing this.

All along, the way he used divine artifacts was like a nouveau riche.

Although injecting divine essence could unleash part of the artifact's power, without the corresponding laws to drive it, the power was still very limited.

Ye Yuan couldn't help but recall the White Tiger Clan's Prison Heaven Locking Spirit Pot; its power was worlds apart from when he used it.

Now that he thought about it, this must be the reason.

"Senior, how should one activate the power of laws within the Exorcism Divine Sword?" Ye Yuan asked.

"A divine artifact has a spirit. Hold the Exorcism Divine Sword, and when you resonate with it, you will naturally understand," Tianli said.

Ye Yuan was stunned and blurted out, "Is it that simple?"

"Simple? Heh, although the Exorcism Divine Sword has acknowledged you as its master, given your realm, achieving resonance with it—without ten or eight years of effort, you probably won't even find the door," Tianli mocked.

One was a divine artifact, the other a mortal.

Achieving resonance between the two was no easy feat.

While Tianli was mocking, Ye Yuan reached out and grasped the Exorcism Divine Sword.

For Ye Yuan, the Exorcism Divine Sword was merely a divine weapon for charging into battle.

Since obtaining it, Ye Yuan had never really thought about the sword having so many intricacies, nor had he carefully felt the Exorcism Divine Sword.

In the state of unity between heaven and man, Ye Yuan's mind became extremely tranquil.

Seeing this, Tianli laughed and said, "This kid really thinks mastering a divine artifact is so easy? For a Dao Profound realm martial artist, achieving resonance with a divine artifact is harder than reaching the heavens."

Ye Yuan sat cross-legged, holding the hilt with one hand and resting the blade on the other, entering a state of emptiness.

Unbeknownst to him, a mysterious power of laws began to swirl around Ye Yuan.

Tianli exclaimed in shock, "This... this is Divine Dao law! This kid has actually comprehended Divine Dao law, and moreover, it's the extremely profound soul law. Truly incredible."

Ye Yuan sank all his mind into the Exorcism Divine Sword, trying to find that trace of resonance.

But he sadly discovered that this was really not an easy thing.

Ye Yuan felt as if he had come alone to the vast universe, trying to find that trace of resonance within it—how hard could that be?

No wonder Tianli said that without ten or eight years of effort, he wouldn't even find the door.

In Ye Yuan's view, Tianli's statement might even be conservative.

Lost in this universe, one might even spend a lifetime unable to find that trace of resonance.

"What exactly is this resonance? How can I evoke the resonance of the Exorcism Divine Sword?"

Ye Yuan realized that he had really thought too simply!

He thought that since the Exorcism Divine Sword had voluntarily acknowledged him as its master, finding resonance should be a piece of cake.

But now, having sunk his mind into it, he found that he couldn't get even a hint of response from the divine sword!

It seemed that it acknowledged him as its master only because he was the Son of Fate, or perhaps merely because he possessed the Haotian Stele.

Gaining the recognition of the divine sword was not easy at all, let alone resonating with it.

After all, the previous master of the divine sword was a peerless powerhouse like Jue Tian, so its standards were naturally extremely picky.

Gaining its recognition was indeed no simple matter.

If he had no exceptional qualities, he might never be able to resonate with it.

"It seems I need to do something to gain the recognition of the divine sword!" Ye Yuan thought.

Having understood this, Ye Yuan's mind instead calmed down.

In this world, there is no love without reason, nor hatred without reason.

Since the divine sword had a spirit, it would not casually acknowledge a stranger and resonate with him for no reason.

During this time, Ye Yuan had indeed neglected the feelings of the divine sword, treating it merely as a divine weapon.

If he himself did not acknowledge the divine sword, why should the divine sword acknowledge him?

That was why Tianli could so easily summon it away.

Because to the divine sword, the relationship between Tianli and it was even closer than that with its master, Ye Yuan.

Perhaps due to his profession, Ye Yuan's attitude toward weapons was far inferior to his attitude toward alchemy cauldrons.

This communication lasted five days and five nights.

During those five days, Ye Yuan remained motionless, gradually trying to understand Exorcism and gain its recognition.

Yet Exorcism still showed no sign of movement.

Ye Yuan still felt as if he were alone in the universe.

Tianli did not disturb Ye Yuan, just quietly watching him.

Tianli knew that Ye Yuan would ultimately end in failure.

"Heh, although this kid's soul power is strong, he should be about at his limit, right? Communicating with a divine artifact to this extent is already impressive," Tianli said indifferently.

The Divine Dao was another level; even communicating with a divine artifact was extremely taxing for a Dao Profound martial artist.

An ordinary martial artist communicating with Exorcism like this for a day and a night would probably find it hard to bear.

Ye Yuan's ability to communicate for five days and five nights straight was already several times that of an ordinary person.

Tianli could sense that Ye Yuan's soul power was nearly depleted.

But at that moment, Tianli's eyes suddenly narrowed, as if he had seen something incredible.

"This... how is this possible?" Tianli exclaimed.

Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes, his mind as calm as a still lake, and said indifferently, "By being indifferent, one clarifies one's aspirations; by being still, one reaches far-reaching goals. I... understand!"
