A giant tree appeared behind Yu Yan, emitting a golden glow that warmed their souls even through the screen.
As they stared intently at the laptop screen, South River and Zhang Lin felt a sudden shift in the surrounding atmosphere.
Though they couldn't see the golden tree, they felt its presence in every fiber of their being. A strange, inexplicable excitement coursed through their veins, as if they were tapping into some primal force that had long been dormant within them.
Their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably, their cells vibrating with a newfound power that they couldn't quite comprehend. The golden glow emanating from the laptop screen seemed to seep into their very souls, filling them with a sense of awe and wonder that they had never before experienced.
Meanwhile, Tulan looked at the tree behind Yu Yan and exclaimed in shock, unable to recover her calm for a while as she observed the tree in great detail.
From her observation, she could see ten fruit hanging on the tree, each at a different height with varied shapes and colors.
Staring at these 'fruits', she was even more baffled.
Not only her but Gongniu as well. He had been lying on the chair with his face planted on the table, but at this moment, he couldn't help but raise his head to look at the tree manifested by Yu Yan, clearly intrigued and surprised.
The tree stood tall and mighty, its magnificence beyond words. It towered over everything else in sight, its size incomprehensible, as if it belonged to another world. The sun, once the brightest star in the sky, now seemed like a mere speck in comparison to the grandeur of the tree.
It seemed to dance with the winds, the leaves rustling in a sweet melody that could soothe the soul.
Its form was ethereal, almost like a mirage, yet it felt tangible, as if one could reach out and touch it. But to do so would be to grasp at infinity, for the tree seemed to stretch on forever.
The branches of the tree were a work of art, curling and twisting in an eternal dance. Each branch split off into another, creating an infinite cycle of growth that was mesmerizing to behold. It was as if the tree was alive, pulsing with an energy that was ancient and powerful.
This is Yu Yan's personal 'dao tree'!
Bang!
The elder's and Song Jia's souls couldn't bear the pressure, their eyes turned bloodshot, then they felt the urge to spit out a mouthful of blood!
Immediately, they forcibly screamed for their eyes to shut, not daring to look in the direction of the laptop, and circulate their true qi to protect their body.
Of everyone that is present, only Song Yin was unaffected. She was unable to grasp what just happened with Uncle Jia and the elders.
All she sees is Yu Yan snapping his fingers, then the next thing that happens is the elders screaming and spitting out blood!
This sight greatly startled her, because every elder present is the pillar of the song's family, and each of them can summon wind and rain with a breath!
"What I have just shown you, is a fragment of the heavenly dao… Law exists under the Dao, giving birth to numerous creations, from the desolate void to the vast universe! When one's comprehension of Laws reached the peak, that was when they could touch upon the very source of the universe!" He waved his sleeve, withdrawing the projection of the dao tree.
Crack.
At the same time, he frowned for a split second before recovering his calm demeanor.
This cracking sound was ethereal, no one could hear it except for Yu Yan.
"The dao is… difficult to put into words. On the road of martial arts, the higher the level, the more important the nomological insight became. You could not control Heaven and Earth's spiritual essence freely unless you understood the laws well. This "truth" is the laws of the way…" He stared at the camera and continued.
Tulan looked at him, then lowered her gaze toward his dantian, gloomily choosing to remain silent.
Of course, Yu Yan noticed her deep concerned gaze, he simply pulled off an 'I'm-fine smug looking face'.
'His Yang soul is gravely injured, for him to forcibly manifest his dao tree despite having the cultivation of a soul formation is putting too much burden on his shattered Yang soul… Because of that, there's an even more visible crack on the outside…' It was hard to noticed this anamoly before, but it is much clearer now.
With her divine sense, she could see a tiny, golden soul residing in a curled-up position inside Yu Yan's divine sea located in his dantian. It had a small crack on its forehead as it seems to asleep with no sign of movement.
There were 8 other tiny speckles of golden soul, but compared to the first one, they were all scattered like fractured mirror pieces. Only the first golden soul was relatively whole despite its shrinking state.
'But that dao tree… I have never seen such a strange dao tree even in the Purple Swallow Sea,' She rummaged with her slender hand supporting her chin, trying to scour through her memories.
"The One Step, Ten Thousand Mile is a relatively useful technique. With exceptional mastery, it is possible to travel tens of thousands of miles in a single stride… At times, your step will look slow and sluggish, but in actual fact, you are already thousands of miles ahead of your opponent!"
"When you've grasped the basic understanding of the slow concept, then that is when you know you've attained 'minor mastery' over the technique." He emphasized.
Yu Yan stopped for a moment, not sure if he should continue.
Then, he shook his head and said." The footstep is important to gain a foothold in understanding the One-Step, Ten Thousand Mile technique, but what is even more important is grasping the concept of 'slow' behind it… If any of the viewers are able to do so, then please let me know in the chat in my later stream."
On the other end, Song Jia and the elders have long recovered from their injuries.
It was strange. The moment Yu Yan withdrew the projection of that strange tree, their injuries disappeared as if it never existed.
But as much as they want to think so, that paramount pressure that could crush their soul with the slightest movement was still clear and vivid in their memories.
A single movement from that great golden tree was enough to crush their soul!
On one hand, they were afraid of Yu Yan's enigmatic background and abilities, but on the other hand, it made them feel assured to be able to receive guidance from such an unfathomable expert!
Then, they committed Yu Yan's words and explanations into memories, afraid that his words would disappear like the illusionary trees that appeared.
Seeing this, Song Yin stomped her feet," What happened, why did you guys fall and coughed up blood?"
"About that… When that young master snapped his finger, a strange golden tree appeared behind him!" The burly man exclaimed, following which Song Fang added.
"Didn't you see it? In front of that golden tree, even the sun looked like a speck of dust!"
The moment Uncle Jia's words landed on her ears, Song Yin felt as if the world had been turned upside down. Her heart raced, and her breaths came out in short, quick gasps.
"What? How can that be possible? A golden tree appearing out of nowhere?" She exclaimed, her eyes wide with disbelief.
But the expressions on their faces were deadly serious. They looked at her with a mixture of awe and fear, and it sent shivers down her spine.
As she looked at them, she could see the truth in their eyes. They were not lying, and her mind struggled to come to terms with this reality.
"I can only guess that your cultivation is too low, thus you weren't qualified to witness the manifestation of that golden tree… Otherwise, what other reason is there?" Uncle Jia assumed, patting her shoulder with an enthusiastic laugh.
He was grateful to bear witness to such a magnificient sight, this caused him to respect Yu Yan even more than he already had.
At this moment, Yu Yan spoke again.
"Everyone, I think the stream has been dragging on for too long, I won't hold up too much of your time. I hope you have learned something new today." Yu Yan unfurled his arm, then bowed his head toward the camera, sincerely thanking his viewers.
At the same time, he looked at his side, hinting at Tulan with his squinted eyes.
He knew that she had her divine sense activated, even without her divine sense, she should be able to guess his intention.
Seeing this, she rolled her eyes, unable to shake off this shameless master of hers as she pulled up the pink mask slipping down her face.
Without a choice left, she walked toward where the camera was, then helplessly put up a bright smile and said cheerily." Please don't forget to follow and spread words about the stream, we will be doing more streams in the future, make sure to have your notification on and catch the next stream!"
Yu Yan can't help but twitch his lips, inwardly praising Tulan for her great acting skill.
'This woman's acting is even more perfect than those lousy bald donkeys from the Zhengdou Temple. Did she practice acting in her free time?!'
Mystic Sword: Bye bye fairy, please stream soon!
South River: :sad:
Long Stick: Rest assured senior, I will try my best to spread the news of your stream as soon as possible!
Song Jia quickly smashed his keyboard, trying to sound as friendly as possible in front of the young man and stunning lady.
Thus, the stream finally concluded in a serene manner despite the ups and down in between.
Yu Yan ended the stream feeling quite satisfied, not only because he thought he did pretty well, but also because he was quite confident in the fact that one of the viewers has given him a follow.
'The question is who will be my first follower?'
