Chapter 207: Chapter 101: Four Seasons Reincarnation Scripture, Formal Cultivation Begins

This left him silent for a long, long time.

After a good while, he finally said to Yan Shouzhuo with a wry smile, "Elder Yan, I believe you now."

From that point on, he had no doubt about Jiang Xuan’s Talent. He immediately began teaching the third step of the *Forest Spirit Scripture*, which was also the final step of Cultivation to be completed in the Valley of Spring—comprehending the Vitality Dao Rhyme of Spring Revival to nourish the Spirit Seed.

"This step isn’t mandatory. With your current foundation, you could cause the Spirit Seed to sprout, take root, grow branches, and spread its leaves right now."

"However, this step is what creates the chasm between the Inner and Outer Sect disciples of the Valley of Spring. More importantly, it is the foundation you must master if you are to complete the Four Seasons Reincarnation in the future."

"Amidst the Annihilation and Guicang of winter, only the Spring Revival Dao Rhyme can allow your lifeless body to be filled with Vitality once more."

After saying this, Luo Yong did not continue teaching with words. Instead, he led Jiang Xuan to a wide, open area.

"The Dao Rhyme of Heaven and Earth can never be taught with words; you can only comprehend it yourself from the world around you. Beneath this area, many spring bamboo shoots are buried."

"You should know that when the spring thunder rumbles and the spring rain falls, bamboo shoots can grow several inches in a single day. This is also the place in the valley where the essence of Spring Revival is most concentrated."

"For now, stay here and quietly comprehend the Dao Rhyme of Spring Revival."

As his voice fell, Luo Yong left Jiang Xuan where he was and returned to Yan Shouzhuo and Xiao Ningxiang’s side.

Comprehending a Dao Rhyme was something one could only do alone. If others said too much, it could easily create a cognitive barrier, so Luo Yong did not linger.

Just as he returned, he overheard Yan Shouzhuo and Xiao Ningxiang talking. The topic was exactly how long it would take Jiang Xuan to master the Spring Revival Dao Rhyme.

Regarding this, Xiao Ningxiang guessed nine days, while Yan Shouzhuo guessed seven.

Standing respectfully to the side, Zhou Qing, the head disciple of Four Seasons Valley, didn’t dare make a wild guess. He only mentioned in a low voice how long it had taken him to comprehend this Dao Rhyme back then—one hundred and eight days.

Luo Yong walked up to them, and seeing him, Xiao Ningxiang asked curiously.

"Senior Brother Luo, you’re the Valley Master of Spring Valley and have the deepest comprehension of the Revival Dao Rhyme. How many days do you think Jiang Xuan will need to comprehend the Spring Revival Dao Rhyme?"

Luo Yong pondered for a moment, then uttered two words: "Three days."

This number made Xiao Ningxiang raise an eyebrow. "Comprehend a wisp of Dao Rhyme in just three days? Senior Brother Luo, you think that highly of his Talent?"

At her words, Luo Yong shrugged wryly. "It’s impossible not to. I finally understand why Elder Yan said that for those who cultivate the same path, seeing him is like a mayfly gazing upon the heavens."

"His Talent is just too ridiculous."

"I was considered a prodigy in my day, but it took me a full nine days to gather all my Vitality and form my Spirit Seed."

"After that, it took an entire month for the Spirit Seed to connect with my whole body. As for comprehending the Spring Revival Dao Rhyme, that took me eighty-one days."

"But Jiang Xuan? He finished the first two steps combined in less time than it takes to drink a cup of tea."

"If it weren’t for the fact that the Dao Rhyme of Heaven and Earth is inherently ethereal and incredibly difficult to comprehend—relying partly on luck and destiny—I would have said even three days is too long."

As Luo Yong was filled with emotion, Jiang Xuan, in the center of the field, was indeed experiencing just how difficult the Heaven and Earth Dao Rhyme was to comprehend.

It was something that could not be touched or seen, something that could only be understood intuitively but never explained in words.

Ordinary Cultivators often had to sit quietly in one place for months, observing the changes in the Spirit Charm of all things as they were born and died. Only at a certain moment, when their Heart achieved Resonance with Heaven and Earth, could they touch upon that wisp of Dao Rhyme.

This kind of Enlightenment depended on Comprehension, but even more so on luck. This was why, despite how highly Luo Yong thought of Jiang Xuan, he still set the time at three days. This was by no means underestimating him; rather, it was an estimate based on many years of experience in Cultivation.

Even Jiang Xuan himself couldn’t be sure when he would achieve true Enlightenment.

Fortunately, that was the conventional method, and he had an unconventional one.

After sitting still for a moment and finding himself unable to grasp any thread of the Dao Rhyme, Jiang Xuan closed his eyes. When he opened them again, a golden light shimmered deep within them, carrying an awesome majesty.

At the same time, the Magical Power performing the Circulation of Heaven and Earth around him suddenly turned into a gilded gold color, as if a simple yet majestic phantom of a Golden Bell had overlaid his body.

The next moment, BOOM! As Jiang Xuan’s Magical Power surged, the Golden Bell suddenly expanded, instantly enveloping everything within a twenty-meter radius inside its form.

Jiang Xuan had activated Chang’s World—the third Trait of the Divine Seed of the Eternal Golden Bell.
