Fantasy: I'm Really Not A Supreme Master!

Xinning suddenly questioned the Heavenly Dao, which drew the attention of everyone in the small courtyard.

"Heavenly Dao? Sister Xinning, what happened?"

Nan Feng inquired with a transmission full of confusion.

Xinning immediately replied through transmission, telling everyone about the Heavenly Dao Spirit.

Instantly, the disciples were all shocked.

"The Heavenly Dao Spirit is actually a three-year-old child?"

Jiang Li furrowed his brows and said, "Such a Heavenly Dao, how can it discern the affairs of the world?"

"Problems with the Heavenly Dao, and even being exploited by evildoers... Indeed, there is something wrong with this world."

"This Heavenly Dao, indeed lacks transcendence... No, it lacks education!"

All the disciples expressed their opinions.

Yun Xi and Zi Ling, in particular, were taken aback, their surprise mingled with a bit of anger.

"Indeed, she deserves a spanking... Sister Xinning, next time I see her, I'm also going to make her eat bamboo shoot stir-fried with meat!"

Yun Xi spoke up, slightly angered. Although the Heavenly Dao Spirit itself had issues, the tragedy of Tian An was indeed caused by the Heavenly Dao Spirit.

Were it not for encountering Li Fan, Tian An would have had no chance of turning his life around.

And no one knows how many more wrongful deaths there would be in the world.

At this moment, hearing Xinning's question, Li Fan fell deep into thought...

Xinning's question... This was indeed a philosophical one!

She's only eleven years old. Could such a little child be contemplating philosophy already?!

During this period, besides learning poetry, Xinning often went to the study to pick books to read.

It seems she stumbled upon discussions about Dao and philosophy in one of those books.

Li Fan suddenly grew very serious, because in the education of children, when a child starts to ask questions about life, meaning, and the Heavenly Dao, it means their world view is beginning to take shape!

This was a crucial time for education.

A misstep in guidance from an adult could set a child's life on the wrong path.

Moreover, upon closer thought, Li Fan surmised that the books Xinning was reading were likely the Tao Te Ching.

After all, Li Fan was quite aware of the books in his study, and the Tao Te Ching mentioned the Heavenly Dao the most...

The Dao that can be told is not the eternal Dao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name...

And that often interpreted maxim: "The Heavenly Dao is impartial; it treats all things as straw dogs," also comes from the Tao Te Ching.

The first time Li Fan came across "The Heavenly Dao is impartial; it treats all things as straw dogs," he almost misunderstood it too...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say:

"The Dao that can be told is not the eternal Dao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name."

"Do you understand the meaning of this verse?"

Upon hearing this, the disciples were all at a loss.

But Xinning's eyes lit up; of the many books she read in Li Fan's study, the Tao Te Ching was definitely the hardest to comprehend.

To her, it was an unimaginable, epoch-making script, containing too profound and mystical elements, seeming to touch on eternity, to transcend everything.

And at this moment, Big Brother was reciting the opening words of that very scripture!

Her heart instantly throbbed with anticipation, excited!

Big Brother was about to preach the Dao; understanding it might bring her tremendous benefits.

She immediately transmitted to everyone:

"Everyone, listen carefully... Big Brother is imparting the Supreme scripture!"

Hearing this, many disciples also became tense.

And Li Fan, watching their nervous expressions...

Reminded him of students afraid of being called on when a teacher asks a question.

He couldn't help but sigh. His group of disciples didn't study much every day; they were addicted to activities like raising fish, playing chess, sweeping, and raising dogs, yet they hardly read...

Especially Wu Dade, Li Fan seriously doubted that this fellow's educational level was even higher than that of the little girl, Xinning!

However, fortunately, Li Fan had a very good attitude. Enjoying reading was good, but he would not insist on it.

Life is short; happiness is what matters, and his disciples had very good character, and that was enough.

After all, this was a world of cultivation; there could be many kinds of dreams.

He decided not to ask further and explained:

"The meaning of this verse can be seen on two levels."

"The first level means the Great Dao is formless and traceless, any dao that can be talked about, named, and seen is merely an ordinary dao."

"The true Great Dao cannot be seen, spoken, or described, yet people are controlled by it without awareness."

Upon hearing this, everyone shivered.

"I thought I had touched some aspect of the Dao... yet now, it seems like a clap of thunder!"

Dugu Yuqing was startled.

"Beyond everything, invisible, unspeakable, indescribable... Such a Great Dao might even be above the Heavenly Dao!"

Nan Feng murmured to himself!

At that moment, Xinning was looking at Li Fan, her large eyes full of speculation.

Invisible, unspeakable, indescribable... Could this be the realm of Big Brother?

Why did it seem that they could never fully comprehend Big Brother's cultivation level...

Perhaps this was the only reasonable explanation.

At that time, Li Fan continued:

"Of course, this verse has a second meaning."

"The Dao that can be told is not the eternal Dao signifies that the Great Dao is ever-changing; everything seen is an incarnation of the Dao, the Dao's changes are different for each individual, playing chess is Dao, sweeping is Dao... even picking up trash is a form of Dao."

"The name that can be named is not the eternal name has a similar meaning; the ancient moon was not seen by today's time, and today's moon never shone on the ancients. In the same heaven and earth, different lives, only by steadfastly holding to one's own Dao, can one remain calm and reach afar!"

Li Fan said calmly.

In his opinion, indeed, the Tao Te Ching contained many principles of life.

And at that moment, everyone was extremely shaken!

"The Dao that can be told is not the eternal Dao... My everything... is the Dao!"

"The same heaven and earth, different lives... My path is mine alone to walk!"

"Just now, while refining the endless Great Dao Rules, but now, Master's words point the way!"

The group of disciples all gained great insights!

Boom!

Suddenly, Qing Chen's aura abruptly transformed.

At that moment, he fused the endless fragments of the Great Dao he had just absorbed into a crucible!

They coalesced into rules that were his own!

It was a broom, but it contained a mysterious mechanism, as if a single sweep could take one to the other shore...

He... had stepped into the Heavenly God Realm.

Moreover, having ingested over a dozen watermelon seeds, the fragments of the Great Dao he harbored were far too numerous. Now, as they merged, his realm seemed to skyrocket directly to the peak of the Heavenly God Realm!

Extremely terrifying!

Qing Chen was just the beginning.

At this moment, all disciples, as if enlightened, found their own paths, melting the Rule Fragments!

Dugu Yuqing condensed a Sword of Rules that seemed formless and traceless...

Nan Feng was fortunate as a zither formed in her heart, made of rules.

Zi Ling's understanding of the rules progressed further, as she condensed her rules into a paintbrush.

Lu Rang's heart was free of distractions; gazing at a pot of grass he was holding in his hand, a pot of lush green grass also sprouted in his heart...

Within Long Zixuan, the Great Dao Rules solidified into a Divine Dragon...

In Jiang Li's sea of consciousness, countless rules took the form of a chessboard, solidifying into chess pieces...

Lin Jiu Zheng's aura underwent a silent transformation; as symbols of rules solidified, he felt, in that instant, he could use the Rules to trace the heavens and earth...

In Su Baiqian's heart, the rules formed a plant of medicine, mysterious and unfathomable.

Xinning's heart was incredibly magical, condensing a book where each page seemed to contain a world; simply reciting the corresponding verses seemed to be enough to invoke the thunderous roar of the rules...

Gong Ya also appeared thoughtful, likewise stepping into the Heavenly God Realm.

The most unique was Yun Xi, who had not formed any imprint of the Dao, and her cultivation level had not changed.

And Wu Dade, watching everyone breaking through, was completely bewildered.

Because he felt nothing, not the slightest bit!

"Master, can you, can you put it more simply?" he asked plaintively:

"I don't quite understand; I feel I've suffered a huge loss, a huge one!"

This lack of culture has cost him dearly!

Li Fan, upon hearing this, couldn't help but smile wryly and said:

"Da De, everyone has their own path; there's no need to force yourself to understand."

Upon hearing this, Wu Dade still felt quite miserable inside.

"Junior Brother, Master has already pointed out the way for you."

At this moment, Jiang Li spoke, saying:

"Your path is that of physical cultivation; the rules are already within your body... I guess, you just need to completely merge the rules with your flesh and blood, and that should do it."

At these words, Wu Dade seemed to understand.

He had an epiphany, turned around, and sought out the Ancestral Melting Gold Tree, swinging it at his own thigh with a thump!

Under Wu Dade's daily insistence on feeding it pot ashes, the Ancestral Melting Gold Tree had grown half a meter long, resembling a club in his hand, and had sprouted dense, sharp spikes, as tough as can be, looking like a cactus.

The moment it hit his thigh, Wu Dade let out a perverse groan!

"Ah..."

In his suffering, there seemed to be a sliver of pleasure...

"It's really effective... I hammer! I'll hammer again!"

He pounded all over his body; the Rule Fragments within him, under his frenzied hammering, were indeed fusing with his flesh and blood.

Finally, he placed the thorny Ancestral Melting Gold Tree underneath him and harshly sat down on it!

This directly made everyone stare in shock!

Even Li Fan was stunned; was all this really necessary?

Isn't it just a lack of culture? Did he have to abandon himself to such an extent?

I've heard of hanging a beam and pricking one's thigh to keep awake while reading... But using spikes to prick one's butt because one didn't study well... That's a first for me.

"Junior Brother Da De... how cruel!"

"Savage, truly savage!"

Even Jiang Li couldn't help but give a thumbs up, saying:

"Junior Brother Da De is ruthless towards himself; with such courage... even without culture, one can still make their mark!"

In the end, Wu Dade's aura changed dramatically.

His Nine Turns Golden Body completed the fifth turn!

He successfully entered the Heavenly God Realm!

Wu Dade looked up, revealing a satisfied smile:

"This is so comfortable!"

Everyone: "..."

Li Fan's expression was complicated as he watched Wu Dade finish mutilating himself and thought to himself that maybe he should help improve Da De's cultural level in the future...

It was too pitiful.

"Meow meow..."

At this time, Xiao Bai the cat had also finished its melon, strolling over lazily. Suddenly, it bent down and ate one of the watermelon seeds that Li Fan had spit to the side...

Then...

Boom!

The Great Dao roared tens of thousands of times in the courtyard!

Xiao Bai's aura exploded violently, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Even this disturbance caused a huge upheaval in the outside world; the entire Great Ruins Realm seemed as if its rules were thrown into chaos, the heavens and earth thundered...

At the critical moment, the Peach Tree's branches drooped low, helping to settle the disturbance for Xiao Bai.

And in the courtyard, everyone stared at Bai Xiaoqing, their eyes wide with astonishment!

Because Bai Xiaoqing's realm…

Had reached that of a Godmaster.

Godmaster indeed.

Godmaster already.

Master now.

Now.
