Chapter 653: Chapter 18: Teaching Without Discrimination, Pagoda Bronze Bell

"Is this the power of the Array?"

In a stretch of water not far from the Jin-Ao, Luo Qiao stared in awe as the entire sea transformed into a whirlpool.

Even under Li Boyang’s protection, Luo Qiao still felt an overwhelming sensation of the heavens and earth spinning.

Is this ability to effortlessly manipulate the myriad phenomena of the world truly something humans can possess?

Luo Qiao even felt that those Celestial Gods who could transform into Celestial Disasters, as mentioned by the High Priest, might not be able to overturn this stretch of the sea.

"Indeed, this is the power of the Array."

With a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, Li Boyang patiently said.

"Human power is finite, but heaven and earth are infinite."

"No matter how strong a finite being is, how can they compare to the infinite heaven and earth?"

Seeing the puzzled look on Luo Qiao’s face, Li Boyang continued to explain.

"Thus, a true strong individual can never focus solely on themselves. The Wise Man studies the infinite changes within this world and is the true strong one."

"This is also the essence of the Path of Celestial and Human—taking humans as primary, borrowing the power of the heavens."

"Array, Alchemy Dao, Artifact Refining, are all methods derived from this foundation."

Quietly listening to Li Boyang’s teachings, Luo Qiao finally couldn’t resist asking the key question he always wanted to ask.

"Why are you teaching me these things?"

"Is it simply because I have the same talent as you?"

This has been Luo Qiao’s greatest confusion all along, clearly feeling like just a regular Longbo Giant.

Even if he possesses talent similar to the Tao Ancestor, he shouldn’t be valued so highly by the Tao Ancestor.

"Of course not, why would you think that?"

Pretending to be surprised, Li Boyang glanced at Luo Qiao and then laughed.

"Don’t consider yourself too special, I actually treat everyone this way."

"In the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, the All Xia Federation, the Three Realms and Six Paths, even past and future, countless beings have benefited from me."

"If everyone thought like you, wouldn’t I be exhausted?"

Without waiting for Luo Qiao to speak further, Li Boyang pointed to the Jin-Ao leader still charging against the Heaven and Earth Net.

"I advocate teaching all without discrimination, underneath the Heavenly Dao, a sliver of hope exists for all."

"Even if it’s a being like it, just newly awakened to wisdom, if it wishes to learn, I will teach."

Striving to maintain an expression of ’I don’t understand, but I’m trying to comprehend,’ Luo Qiao directed his gaze towards the struggling Jin-Ao leader.

"Want to take a look?"

Once Li Boyang uttered this, Luo Qiao’s expression became even more bewildered.

Before he could react, a golden bracelet was thrown out by Li Boyang.

In the next moment, that golden bracelet transformed into a circle of light, connecting to the inner part of Biyou Palace.

From Luo Qiao’s angle, the rippling architectural complex inside Biyou Palace was clearly visible.

At the instant of seeing this architectural complex, the High Priest’s words "smoke and mist condensing auspicious aura, sun and moon exhaling fortuitous light" suddenly materialized.

Yet despite the grandeur of Biyou Palace,

what was more attention-grabbing at this moment was the headless Buddha statue sitting cross-legged in the main hall.

Crack...

As if sensing something, the body of that headless Buddha statue suddenly moved.

Immediately after, the headless Buddha statue stood up unprompted.

In the reflection of the water waves, the jade-like color of its entire body was remarkably striking.

"Though it appears a bit shabby, let it be your graduation test!"

With a direct palm push to Luo Qiao’s back, Li Boyang laughed as he pushed him into the Qiankun Ring.

"Ah?"

Instinctively turning back to look at Li Boyang, Luo Qiao hadn’t even managed to speak before the Qiankun Ring closed of its own accord.

"Aren’t you coming in with me?"

In a daze, facing the empty hall, Luo Qiao only managed to voice this sentence now.

Sadly, Luo Qiao’s words were destined to be directed at air.

For before him, the headless Buddha statue had already begun chanting Brahma Sounds, and lotus blossoms appeared out of thin air.

Despite not having a head, the voice of the headless Buddha statue was crystal clear.

Because this was not a real voice, but a mind’s voice reaching directly into the hearts of beings.

When those Brahma Sounds mixed with lotus blossoms appeared, Luo Qiao’s mind was bewildered.

Deep within him, an unparalleled joy surged, seemingly hinting for him to let go of all worldly cares.

The youth’s troubles, the High Priest’s expectations, the care of his brothers and sisters...

All these felt so insignificant under the Brahma Sound.

"..."

In just a moment of distraction, all of Luo Qiao’s muscles relaxed involuntarily.

This was a feeling hard to describe in words.

A kind of ecstasy achieved when all desires are fulfilled.

Yet after the joy, a faint sense of unease arose in Luo Qiao’s heart.

"No, this isn’t what I want."

With a hint of struggle in his eyes, Luo Qiao murmured quietly with a lazy voice.

Despite being lost and troubled at times, Luo Qiao did consider letting go of all, and doing whatever he wanted.

But what he knew better was that this was merely a wishful fantasy of his own.

In this world, there never exists a complete freedom devoid of responsibilities, there is always something to gain in return.

Now, Luo Qiao had found his goal, so naturally, he wouldn’t be indulgent in the false satisfaction brought by that joy.

Sword-draw sound!

With the sound of a sharp blade being unsheathed, the headless Buddha statue instinctively dodged to the side.

When it turned around again, Luo Qiao already fully awakened, his hands clasped in a Sword Technique gesture.

"That was close, I almost got brainwashed by you!"

With piercing eyes, Luo Qiao was like a completely unsheathed Treasure Sword, emitting a deadly aura from within.

In the blink of an eye, two streaks of Sword Qi shot from Luo Qiao’s fingertips.

This time, the headless Buddha statue only managed to dodge one of them, the other hitting its chest instantly.

Clang!

A sound like a bell being struck reverberated through the entire Biyou Palace.

Yet what shocked Luo Qiao was, after receiving his sword head-on, the originally missing head of the headless Buddha statue now seemed to have a tendency to grow.

"If you can take one sword from me, can you take ten?"

Decisively striking again, the Life Essence Qi within Luo Qiao began to circulate at an incredible pace.

Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!

This was the first time since cultivating Body-Protecting Sword Qi that Luo Qiao unleashed attacks with such no reservations.

Each burst of Sword Qi carried the ability to cut gold, split jade.

Each impact could stir ripples in the deep sea.

Within Biyou Palace, Luo Qiao seemed, in an instant, to transform into a Sword Blade Storm.

Everything touched by his Sword Qi was split into pieces, slashed into segments, even the palace roof above was no exception.

Except for that headless Buddha statue with hands clasped.

In the Brahma Sound, it stood unmoving, faintly surrounded by a giant floating pagoda bronze bell.
