Dawn was right in front of him, and Gu Qingyang also felt an unprecedented sense of tranquility. He looked out the window and stared at the world through the dim skylight.
"This body and bones return to heaven and earth,"
"Not stained by the world of mortals."
The old man's words echoed in his heart again. By this time, Gu Qingyang found that he finally understood the meaning of this sentence.
Before, he had always thought that the old man said such words and left such a poem to praise the so-called freedom.
But in fact, when he had a real epiphany, and with this epiphany, he got what the old man left for him.
Only then did he realize that what the old man really wanted could be summed up in just one word.
That is - Tao.
Road to Road, very Avenue.
This way is not the way of heaven, but the great road.
Ask, what is the great road?
Answer: The loud sound is loud, but the elephant is invisible.
Tao, that's it, it's nature.
It is nowhere to be found, yet it is everywhere.
If the way of heaven is a system of laws, it is a big net that covers all living beings in the world.
Then, the avenue is an invisible network. There are traces of the way of heaven to follow, but there is no trace of the great road.
Throughout the ages, bone cultivators have sought and cultivated the Tao, and most of them have cultivated the Tao of Heaven.
Because following the will of heaven can indeed make their life smooth sailing.
In contrast, the more invisible avenue is naturally difficult to pursue.
But this mysterious and mysterious existence is exactly what Gu Qingyang has been pursuing.
What the old man wanted was nature, the great road.
Perhaps, in the old man's view, the bodies of all living beings in the world are just piles of loess after their lifespan is exhausted.
Moreover, all living things in this world exist in this world. After death, the body of the living being will also be returned to heaven and earth.
And that Hongchen probably refers to other bone cultivators. But to be more precise, that should be the view of other bone cultivators on cultivation.
This should refer to the heart of pursuing the way of heaven.
The old man only wanted to pursue the great road, and naturally he would not yearn for the way of heaven. Therefore, it is actually correct to say that he does not want to be contaminated by the so-called world of mortals.
"If you don't pursue the way of heaven, it is the great road."
"Not stained by the world of mortals, free from the wind."
"So that's it, that's it."
"Then, the jade-blooded elixir heart, the ancient god is immortal."
"What's going on?"
…
As his thoughts continued to beat, a hint of surprise gradually began to appear in Gu Qingyang's eyes.
But not long after, Gu Qingyang was immersed in thinking about what he had just experienced. His heart is constantly changing.
From that moment on, from the moment he practiced the Ancient God's Immortal Sutra as if it were a matter of course, he was tainted with cause and effect.
But this cause and effect is not just related to the old man.
This cause and effect is closely related to the first righteous path in the wilderness, the Palace of Eternal Life.
From this causal level, he can even be regarded as half a disciple of the Palace of Eternal Life.
But will he really enter the Palace of Eternal Life?
He knew very well that absolutely not.
Don't look at it, he is just like the old man, he is a person pursuing the great road.
However, there is still a huge essential difference between him and the disciples of the Palace of Eternal Life.
In his memory, the group of people in the Palace of Eternal Life were all people who were pursuing the way of heaven.
In the eyes of those people, right is right and evil is evil.
Moreover, even if he really joins the Palace of Eternal Life.
Those people would probably not agree either.
Because he is a demon cultivator, a pure demon cultivator.
It is true that he has good thoughts, and he has also done good things to people and creatures in this world, and these are all true.
But he will never look at the world with a good eye.
Because he sees reality too clearly.
In this vast world, there are still too few people who truly deserve to be treated with pure kindness by others, and they are pitiful.
Gu Qingyang liked the words of a bone cultivator he once met. That person said that a bone cultivator's heart should not be too pure.
Therefore, an absolutely ideal world would be great.
But in reality, the world of bone cultivators is full of intrigues and all kinds of killings.
"I want to become a devil."
At this moment, Gu Qingyang remembered the profound meaning of the Ancient Demonic Scripture of Swallowing Gods, as well as his original intention of creating the Taicang Kurongrong Scripture.
He breathed out gently, and then saw the breath flying in the cold air. Until finally, it gradually dissipated.
Turning his head, Gu Qingyang saw the people around him.
At this moment, she was holding his body, resting her head on his arm, and fell asleep. This appearance made Gu Qingyang obsessed.
He looked at it for a long time and couldn't get enough of it.
He was stunned for a long time, questioning his heart.
He asked, what kind of demon does he want to be?
He asked what exactly a god was.
He was silent, and his eyes would sometimes reveal extremely cold murderous intent.
Sometimes, his eyes would reveal a tranquility that was so pure that there was no fluctuation.
Suddenly, he felt that his mind went blank and then sank into darkness.
In the darkness, he saw a person.
That's who he is, the real him.
He had a smile on his face, but also sadness and melancholy.
Gu Qingyang knew very well that he was who he was now.
This is also the most real version of him.
This person is full of humanity.
He will feel greedy because of those natural and earthly treasures, he will also be happy because he reunites with his sister, and he will even be angry because of his enemies.
He was like a dirty bug that suddenly fell into a jar full of dense sugar and then struggled desperately.
But beside him, two other figures appeared.
One of the two figures had a faint golden light all over his body.
When Gu Qingyang looked silently, the golden light slowly turned into white light.
He saw that that person was also him.
But there was only a smile on that man's face, the smile he only had when facing his sister.
This him is like a god who has been banished to the world.
Compared to the real him, this him has too much extraordinary brilliance.
Moreover, Gu Qingyang, who is like a god, is completely illusory.
There is no doubt that the third figure is also him.
However, he only had a cold look on his face.
He is like a peerless killing god from a fierce place, exuding devilish energy all over his body, which will only make people feel awe-inspiring and fearful.
This him is crazy and scary. But this kind of him is also the most real and solid one among all the incarnations.
"Humans, gods, demons."
In the end, Gu Qingyang's full of doubts and feelings turned into a sigh and a murmur to himself.
He is enlightening, enlightening the Tao, and enlightening himself.
Whether it is eight thousand years in the past life or just a few decades in this life.
Right now, it was definitely the clearest time he had seen himself in this period of time.
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether it's a god or a demon."
"As long as she's here, that's fine."
He gently raised his hand and brushed the hair that fell on the tip of Gu Qingying's nose.
No matter how confused and overwhelmed he is when he looks at himself.
When he looked at Gu Qingying, his heart would no longer be silent.
"No one can separate us."
"If God can't do it, they can't do it either."
"Everyone in the world says that the body, hair, and skin are shaped by the parents. You and I are blood relatives. In the future, I might give you my bones."
…
People, gods, demons.
The three incarnations seem to be based on Gu Qingyang's understanding of three different paths.
But in fact, they are a true reflection of Gu Qingyang's heart.
From the moment Gu Qingyang saw these three incarnations clearly, Gu Qingyang felt that there were three of him in this world.
A him is the him in this world.
He has too many concerns about this, too many things that he can't let go of, but he still doesn't have the ability to protect them. He was like a struggling insect.
A him is the him in the past.
He is indeed aloof, looking down at all the people in the world, and his face is worthy of heaven. That he was very capable and always shouldered everything.
The third one may be him in the future.
He looked aloof, but invisibly, he seemed to be no distance away from anyone. He was like a god, extraordinary to the extreme.
"There is no self-image."
"No one has a look."
"There is no sign of sentient beings."
"The appearance of a person without life."
As Gu Qingyang said these words, the three incarnations gradually turned into two incarnations.
Because among the three incarnations, the one that was transformed by his human nature has disappeared.
It was replaced by two other completely different incarnations.
It was only at this moment that Gu Qingyang suddenly discovered that his divine incarnation no longer had any smile.
And the demonic incarnation no longer has any killing intent. Both of them seem to have entered a very mysterious state.
He knew that from the moment the incarnation of humanity disappeared, he had already made his choice for the future.
In fact, there is no difference between him and other living beings.
He is exactly the same as those people.
The reason why all living beings are born equal is because every living being has the same things and characteristics.
And although he has had extraordinary experiences, he has achieved achievements that are unprecedented and unprecedented. But in this life, everything starts over again.
Compared with others, he is no different.
He is as weak as those people, and even his strength is not as strong as those people. This is who he is now.
This is where he is like those people.
He saw through it and was broken.
Therefore, his human incarnation naturally disappeared.
Because, if he still wants to continue on the path of spiritual practice.
If he still wants to find his own path of cultivation.
Then, he has to let go of his humanity.
Human nature may be really important.
But what he needs now is strength.
This power is possessed by both gods and demons.
And in the end, he never thought about giving up the divinity he had clearly understood, or the demonic nature he already possessed.
In his opinion, since these are all powers, he will use them all. This matter is not a big deal, he has already opened up the depression in his heart.
What can I do if I yearn for divinity and follow the righteous path?
So what if you follow the devil's nature and fall into the devil's path?
How can the eyes of the world matter to me?
All I care about is the way forward.
Therefore, to the common people in the world, to thousands of bone cultivators, and even to the entire world, he may be a demon with blood on his hands.
Everyone can be punished, heinous crimes cannot be forgiven... Various descriptions can be blessed on him in the form of crimes, and he will eventually bear the burden.
But what can this do?
He doesn't need to be a god to too many people, and he doesn't want to be a god to save the common people. If he wanted to be a god, he would only be the god of one person.
"call--"
Exhale gently, and then let the cool air enter your lungs. At this moment, Gu Qingyang had already thought of everything.
Facing the future, he has many methods.
If there is any truth, he suddenly fell into the calculation of heaven just like when he participated in the trial in the secret realm of Tian Coffin.
Then, he will prepare for this in advance.
The way of heaven is still too strong after all.
Face it, even though he has an unyielding heart.
But in fact, he was not sure of victory.
However, he has the confidence and ability to let his sister grow up and survive safely.
When he thought of this, his divine incarnation seemed to become much more solid.
And this also made Gu Qingyang vaguely understand why he could clearly understand divinity.
"This is--"
Just when Gu Qingyang was still immersed in the feeling of enlightenment, Gu Qingyang suddenly realized that at this moment, he already had a feeling of breaking through.
This feeling seemed to remind him that as long as he took another half step forward, everything would fall into place and he would break through to the second level of bone cultivation.
However, Gu Qingyang still did not break through.
Even though he had given up too many opportunities to break through for the sake of the foundation of cultivation. It has accumulated extremely terrifying foundation.
He even pushed his cultivation from the acquired level of Chipin to a lower level many times. But now, he still has not chosen to break through.
He was silent, staring at the sky outside the window.
He felt his gut telling him that now was not the time. Because he understood the new Dharma, his path also changed.
If it was before, then now, he would definitely break through without hesitation. Because it turned out that he just wanted to be like his previous life, only becoming a demon.
But now, he has divinity, a divinity that belongs only to him.
Because of this, he will understand that the so-called divinity and demonic nature are just a matter of thought.
In the eyes of gods or demons, all living things are the same. Therefore, they will have the same indifference.
The difference is that only by being kind to others with this mentality can you become a god.
And if you rely on this mentality to turn toward evil, you will become a demon.
Gu Qingyang chose to retain both natures, forcibly suppressing the realm and not breaking it.
On the one hand, it is to stabilize the foundation and to adjust the direction of future practice.
On the other hand, he did this just to make Gu Qingying feel that he was still the same person in the future and that he had never changed.
With this obsession, Gu Qingyang practiced unconsciously. After practicing for too long, Gu Qingyang finally fell asleep because he could not bear the fatigue.
