Chapter 1342: Chapter 1290–Chapter 1291 Chapter 1342: Chapter 1290–Chapter 1291 Authority, although this concept was unheard of for the Great Ancient Emperors of this world, they would naturally come upon it once certain things came into existence with their abilities.
The Holy Land of Wind and Thunder, this was a top force in this world, founded by an ancient Emperor-level powerhouse, the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder.
Bearing the name of Wind and Thunder, it's because this very Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder had once cultivated the profound mysteries of Wind and Thunder, and after ascending to the status of a Great Emperor, he took control of the Laws of Wind and Thunder.
However, this Great Wind and Thunder Emperor did not establish any Great Emperor Dynasty; instead, he found a mountain range where Wind and Thunder converged and established the Holy Land of Wind and Thunder, revered by the warriors between heaven and earth as the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder.
How long this Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder had lived, it seemed no one knew; he appeared to be one of the oldest existences in this world.
As an ancient Emperor, the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder was indifferent to many things in this world. Even having cultivated to his current Realm, he was not at all worried that someone would later take control of the Laws of Wind and Thunder and push him down from his Emperor Realm.
The Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder's understanding of the Laws of Wind and Thunder had reached an extremely profound level. Although he had not truly created a unique branch of Martial Arts, he did have some ideas.
And with the emergence of the heavenly gate, or rather the concept of Taoist Skill, it resolved the last bit of doubt in his heart, clarifying where his path lay ahead.
“Taoist Skill, the principles of the Great Tao, imitate heaven and earth, comprehend the Laws, unify the body with heaven and earth, the spirit with heaven and earth, the energy with heaven and earth, the heart with heaven and earth; truly return to unity with heaven and earth, forge an incorruptible self, and transcend beyond heaven and earth,” the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder muttered to himself, continuously ruminating on his enlightenment.
He had to admit, even if what he had obtained from those of the heavenly gate was merely the most basic Cultivation method, the drastically different Cultivation Concepts within, the depictions of heaven and earth, the understanding of the beings themselves, had caused him to have an epiphany, a sudden realization.
Never had he been more lucid than now, in his cognition of heaven and earth, in his self-awareness.
“It just always feels as though something is missing?” the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder's brow furrowed slightly, his expression complex as he pondered.
Unlike other Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors, upon acquiring these Taoist Skills, seeing clearly what they represented, they hesitated, struggling to decide whether to accept this new Cultivation system or to adhere to Martial Arts and uphold its glory.
But for the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, such hesitation wasn't necessary, as he was merely the master of one Holy Land and not the Wielder of an Empire. In his heart, there was only the pursuit of strength; as long as he could keep moving forward and gain even greater power, breaking free from bonds, he didn't mind what he cultivated, even if it meant abandoning Martial Arts.
In the eyes of the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, Martial Arts was merely a means by which he wielded power, a tool to ascend to the pinnacle, not indispensable. Now presented with a better choice, he naturally did not hesitate to give it up.
Furthermore, it's easier for a smaller boat to turn around. Even though the Holy Land was of the same level of influence as the Imperial Dynasties, it was much smaller in scale. Even if there were various Factions within, for the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, he could easily resolve them.
Thus, the entire Holy Land of Wind and Thunder was actively engaging with this newly emerged Cultivation system, attempting to practice Taoist Skill, and the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder was also using the wisdom of his disciples to comprehend Taoist Skill more quickly, integrating both together.
Having gained acknowledgment concepts from these basic Taoist Skills, and combining them with the Martial Arts he practiced, he always felt what he possessed was incomplete, somewhat flawed.
“Heavenly gate, or rather, the Pioneer of Taoist Skill, they must have retained some secrets, which is why my deductions cannot be perfect,” the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder's profound gaze turned towards the direction where the heavenly gate existed.
Even if he had only obtained a part of the Taoist Skill, it was sufficient to glimpse the entirety; through this most basic part, he could see how profound and vast this system was, how unfathomable its potential, and it was for this reason that he decisively accepted this new system.
Yet, even as powerful as he was, he was still kept outside the core. As to the true core secrets of this system, he could only see them as if through a fog, unable to grasp them clearly.
“Why hesitate so much? If I'm to accept it, then shouldn't I break decisively with the past!” A hint of resolution flashed in the eyes of the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, as if he had made some decision.
He summoned his disciples and instructed, “I am preparing to visit the heavenly gate myself and see the Lord of the heavenly gate in person!”
“Master, why is this? Weren't you planning to observe and wait?” These disciples looked puzzled.
Regarding the emergence of the heavenly gate, as well as the objectives revealed by it, all Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors were crystal clear, yet they had not taken any action, all silently waiting for a further response from the heavenly gate or the reaction of others.
In their view, it was inevitably the Imperial Dynasties that were most affected by this matter. The Holy Land of Wind and Thunder really wasn't the first to be hit, so why rush to be the one to draw attention?
And indeed, this had been the original intention of the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder. So why had he suddenly changed his mind, becoming so impatient?
