Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1320 - 391: [Follow Heaven? Defy Heaven?] (3)
Previously on Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!...
The reason for the crazed suppression of existences above the Celestial Human Realm with Heavenly Tribulations is because the Heavenly Dao judges that those above the Celestial Human Realm appearing in this world are all forces of invasion from external sources!
Following the normal steps, indeed, this world should not yet have a systematic cultivation, nor should there be existences with cultivation above the Celestial Human Realm!
The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi is thin, and cultivation resources are quite scarce.
In barren soil, towering trees should not grow.
And the local cultivation model should not have developed so early.
In today’s world, all cultivation systems, be it complete or incomplete Cultivation Techniques, are all external!
All of them come from the Domain Realm!!
For example, the ancestors of the Cloud Sect which Chu Keqing belongs to escaped from the Domain Realm to this world!
Similarly, the ancestors of demon cultivators like old turtle Gui Geng also escaped here from the Domain Realm.
If it weren’t for people and spirit monsters coming from the Domain Realm, this world would fundamentally lack a cultivation system.
Perhaps someday, in a distant future, this world will grow rich enough in Primordial Qi to develop its own cultivation system.
But for now, it’s not the time yet.
In this world today, even though cultivators are weak and the cultivation system is incomplete.
That’s compared to the Domain Realm.
But considering the thin and barren cultivation resources of this world itself... having such a cultivation system is already too advanced!
The Heavenly Dao does not allow it!
It’s like you’ve birthed a child, and at seven or eight years old, they suddenly tell you they want to fall in love, get married, and have children. As a parent, you’d surely suppress that hard!
The Heavenly Dao doesn’t dislike cultivation.
What the Heavenly Dao dislikes is the external invading forces from the Domain Realm bringing the matter of "cultivation" greatly ahead of schedule in this world.
Moreover, there’s a third reason.
This reason was something Chen Yan suddenly thought of after discussing with the little girl.
·
Cultivation is about aligning with the Heavenly Dao. Utilizing the rules allowed by the Heavenly Dao to strengthen oneself...
The problem is, all the current cultivation systems and Cultivation Techniques come from...
The Domain Realm!!
So, when you use the Cultivation Techniques from the Domain Realm and its cultivated rules to practice cultivation in this world?
Aligning with the Heavenly Dao, which Heavenly Dao are you aligning with?
Utilizing the allowed rules of the Heavenly Dao, whose Heavenly Dao’s rules are you using?
You can’t use the laws of M Country to do things in Dragon Country!

"Therefore, the key is externality."
Chen Yan emerged from the underwater cave dwelling, slowly walked down the mountain, out of the woods, onto the mountain road, and then continued down the mountain, walking back to the villa area...
He walked for a long time, very slowly.
It is known that the Heavenly Dao of this world has accepted the existence of "cultivation."
However, it rejects external cultivation methods!
So, to gain the approval of the Heavenly Dao in this world, and not be suppressed by it.
The focus is on "externality."
How to make the Heavenly Dao of this world recognize oneself as "one of its own," rather than an external invasive cultivation element.
Make the Heavenly Dao of this world accept oneself, regard oneself as "one of its own"?
Chen Yan sighed.
All the cultivation techniques he practices, all the spells he knows, all come from the Domain Realm. In other words, they are all "external."
When Chen Yan walked back to the doorstep, he opened the courtyard gate and entered the yard.
By then, the rain had already stopped. Chen Yan had returned from the mountain deep in thought, not using any spells to shield the rain, so by the time he got home, both his hair and clothes had become wet from the rain.
In the yard, he saw Gu Qingyi lying on the deck chair under the eaves.
Gu Qingyi raised her eyebrows and looked at Chen Yan, frowning: "Why did you make yourself so bedraggled?"
As she spoke, Gu Qingyi stood up. Although her expression wasn’t friendly, she still came over, reaching out to press Chen Yan’s shoulder.
Soon, a warm current flowed through Gu Qingyi’s hand onto Chen Yan, the warm heat washed over Chen Yan’s whole body, and in just a moment, his hair and clothes turned dry. His entire body felt warm and cozy.
Chen Yan looked at Gu Qingyi, and that strange gaze lingered long enough for Gu Qingyi to feel a wave of complex emotions, unable to help but frown:
"What are you staring at!"
"..."
Chen Yan chuckled: "I’ve been thinking, it feels like you’ve really accepted me as family."
"You... are my family." Gu Qingyi’s eyes held some complexity.
Chen Yan thought for a while: "Young Lady Gu, have you really taken me as your good eldest son?
Hmm, thinking about it, you really have been good to me. You used to teach me a lot about cultivation and even gave me the Mother’s Love Talisman for a lifesaving trick.
This time, afraid I’d get into trouble, you braved dangers to cross the World Wall to come back and see me.
Why are you so good to me?"
A trace of peculiarity flashed in Gu Qingyi’s eyes, yet she avoided his gaze, speaking with a hint of irritation: "Because you’re filial to me!"
Chen Yan was taken aback.
Then, he raised his head, gazing at the sky, and seemed to ponder.
"So... one must flatter, huh."
·
Chen Yan’s comment about flattering everything left Gu Qingyi’s eyes even more uncomfortable, glaring at him fiercely: "What nonsense are you spouting!"
Chen Yan, however, seemed to have understood something very important, his mood quite relaxed and cheerful: "Young Lady Gu, let me ask you, is Heavenly Dao equivalent to the rules, and the rules equivalent to cause and effect?"
Upon hearing this topic, Gu Qingyi’s expression turned solemn.
After all, she had surpassed the Celestial Human Realm and came from a top noble family that had produced Saints. Her understanding and knowledge of cultivation were naturally profound, slowly nodding: "What you said is correct—your recognition is indeed thorough."
Chen Yan waved his hand: "Then, how to see through cause and effect? I mean, how to know the rules allowed by the Heavenly Dao, and the cause and effect recognized by it.
If you want to align with the Heavenly Dao, you must first understand its rules to act accordingly."
