Gu Qingcheng was incredibly beautiful. Even Han Sen, who was very close to Gu Qingcheng, couldn't help but steal a few glances at her. The Very High man only glanced at her a few times before looking away. That was an impressive display of willpower.
Exquisite looked over as well, but her eyes lingered on Han Sen for a while. After all, he was sitting in the first seat. Although there were no deified elites attending this event, the fact that he was sitting in the first seat spoke volumes about how important he was in Sky Palace.
But Han Sen didn't look very good right now. He was so dry that he looked like a refugee who hadn't had a full meal since he was young. He was just skin and bones.
"What is your name, brother?"
Exquisite asked, looking at Han Sen. She had seen Han Sen's image before, but that was before Han Sen's body had been damaged. He looked very different now, so Exquisite hadn't been able to recognize him.
"I am Han Sen," Han Sen answered honestly.
Hearing Han Sen's name, the Very High man couldn't help but look at him. Clearly, he had heard of Han Sen's name before.
"So, you are the Han Sen who has the Charming God's Jian and the Medusa's Gaze. You are different," Exquisite said coldly.
When she said he was different, she was referring to Han Sen's appearance. She wasn't really complimenting Han Sen.
From what they could see, Han Sen had just been lucky enough to obtain two powerful true god class treasures. His chi was good, but his power wasn't all that impressive.
Han Sen looked cold. He didn't say anything. He could tell that Exquisite wasn't really complimenting him.
"Senior Brothers and Sisters, if you don't have any questions, then I'll throw a brick to attract jade and talk about 'Panorama'," the man said calmly.
After he said that, many of the Sky Palace students looked awkward. Panorama Nature was a secret geno art that was second only to the Wordless Sutra.
The man was going to talk about Panorama. It was like he was saying, "You guys can't practice that geno art. Let me teach you how to practice it."
The way the man spoke made the Sky Palace students very unhappy. But because of the Very High, they didn't do anything.
All the Sky Palace students looked at the man, waiting to see what he would say next.
Han Sen could tell that the man was doing this on purpose. He wanted to use this opportunity to impress the younger generation of Sky Palace. That was why he spoke the way he did.
But Han Sen wanted to hear what the Very High man, whose name was Tourmaline, had to say about the world.
"All things in the world refer to the phenomena of all things in the universe. The existence of phenomena is Dao. That's why it's said that all things have Dao. It's just that all living things are ignorant and can't see the essence of Dao through phenomena …"
The Sky Palace students didn't think much of what he was saying. What he was saying was old, and there was nothing new about it. They would have been able to say it all the same.
The man seemed to have seen through everyone's thoughts and continued calmly, "We are also a part of all living beings, so naturally, we can't escape ignorance.
It's also difficult to see through phenomena and see the essence.
Therefore, there is the saying of entering the world.
Only by entering the phenomena and feeling the various phenomena and experiencing the principles within them can one understand the essence.
This is the so-called enlightenment."
"When we practiced Panorama Nature, the teacher talked about this on the first day. Mister Tourmaline, you don't have to repeat it. Let's get to the point," a Sky Palace student said.
Tourmaline didn't say anything. His face didn't reveal any particular expression.
Han Sen used to think that Exquisite was just pretending to be cold. Now that he saw Tourmaline, he realized that their expressions were the same. It wasn't as simple as it seemed.
"Everyone knows about Dao," Tourmaline said. "But as for how to do it, everyone has their own theories. There is no standard."
"Dao is natural," a Sky Palace student said. "Everyone has their own path. Why do we need a standard?"
Tourmaline coldly said, "I said before that Panorama Nature refers to the phenomena of all things in the universe. If there are phenomena, then there are rules. If there are no rules, then there is no reason. Why do we need to learn Dao?"
The Sky Palace student was speechless, and he listened to Tourmaline.
Tourmaline pulled something out of his pocket and placed it on the table. Everyone's attention was drawn to it, and they couldn't help but look at it. It was a square, transparent box. It looked like it was made of crystal, and it was only a dozen centimeters long.
Inside the box was a transparent, crystal-like beetle. It looked like a rhinoceros beetle, and it looked very cute.
Tourmaline opened the crystal box and waited for the beetle to crawl out. Then, he said, "Everything has a Dao, but it is not easy to learn the Dao. This xenogeneic beetle is called the God Spirit Touch. It is a very rare xenogeneic. Through it, we can feel the rules and the Dao."
After that, Tourmaline raised his finger. He squeezed out a drop of blood from his fingertip and put it in front of the beetle.
The beetle opened its mouth and sucked the blood into its belly. Then, it stopped moving.
Everyone was shocked. They didn't know why Tourmaline was doing this.
Before anyone could figure it out, the beetle that had sucked in Tourmaline's blood started to change.
The beetle was actually shedding its skin. The way it was shedding its skin was very strange. Its body slowly crawled out from its mouth, gradually leaving a complete carapace outside.
But it wasn't over yet. After shedding its shell, the beetle's body started to twist. Then, it shedded its skin a second time.
The fist-sized beetle kept shedding its skin. Every time it shedded its skin, its body became smaller. The shell it left behind was like a complete piece of crystal beetle art. It was just that each shell was smaller than the last.
As everyone watched, the beetle shedded its skin nine times. Its body was now the size of a dollar coin. It stopped moving. It just lay there, moving. It looked very tired.
Everyone looked at Tourmaline, waiting for him to explain what this meant. They had all seen bugs shedding their skin before, but they didn't know what this had to do with the Dao that Tourmaline was talking about.
"The God Spirit Touch is very sensitive to innate genes and Blood Pulses.
The stronger the genes and Blood Pulse are, the stronger the effect will be.
That is how we can determine the innate genes of a person.
The genes of a low-class creature can make it shed its skin once or twice.
If it is a high-class gene, it can make it shed its skin eight or ten times.
With the Very High's many years of experience, if the God Spirit Touch can shed its skin ten times, then that creature's innate genes and Blood Pulse will be strong enough to become a true god," Bixi said coldly.
