"road."
A simple and calm word clearly exploded in the heart of Donglin Great Heavenly Lord.
In a daze, it seemed that the laws of the heavens, which were transformed from the origin of Immortal Gang, were shaken violently, as if they were shocked by this simple yet extraordinary word.
"Tao Ancestor..."
Donglin Great Heavenly Lord's expression changed slightly, he recited it three times before looking up to the sky and sighing:
"There are monks in the world who are cultivating immortals, cultivating the truth, cultivating the ancients, and cultivating the Tao. Both the immortal and the ancient lines have their origins, but there has never been a true ancestor and a Taoist ancestor. Now... Your Excellency was born from the origin of the Immortal Gang. Although the word "Daozu" is big, but……"
But it's also worthy of the opponent's size.
It’s just that the Great Heavenly Lord Donglin in front of him doesn’t know clearly. In his eyes, the word Rudao may be just one of the different cultivation systems of Immortal, Ancient, Dao, and Zhen, but this is just the limitation of Immortal’s time and space...
If these two words were casually placed in any Taoist time and space, or in other heavens, it would definitely be more than just such an evaluation.
However, what Chen Xixiang wants to do is to spread the name of the Supreme Being to all the heavens for eternity, so that all time and space will praise his own Taoism, and respect himself as the eternal Taoist ancestor...
In the sea of laws, Donglin Great Heavenly Venerable thought silently in his heart:
"Now that there is such a 'Tao Ancestor' in Immortal Gang, which has the same origin as the Immortal and Ancient Ancestors, is it possible that there will be... a true ancestor in the future?"
Take the Immortal Gang Continent and several cave realms below it as an example. As long as you step into the path of cultivation, depending on your own system, you may be called an immortal cultivator, a Taoist cultivator, or a true cultivator, while the Rugu clan is an ancient cultivator...
Nowadays, in addition to the immortal and ancient lineages, there is another Taoist ancestor in the world, which corresponds to the four common cultivation systems in the Xiangang Continent. Therefore, at this moment, Donglin Great Heavenly Lord subconsciously thought of...the vacant... …the path of cultivation.
Unexpectedly.
"Immortals, free and easy, with great freedom as their mind, realize freedom and ease."
"The ancients used their power to open and close the sky, and what they demonstrated was a strong one."
Suddenly, a faint word came from the opposite side, as if hearing the thoughts in Donglin Great Heavenly Lord's heart, he put his hands behind his hands and said to himself without changing his expression:
"However, no matter whether it is ancient, immortal, free and easy, or strong, the core of the path remains unchanged. It is to break the shackles on the body, crush the sky above the head, and there is no longer any restraint."
"And this thought is the innate instinct of detachment in the hearts of all living beings, the desire for knowledge, and a kind of calmness without any restraint. This kind of thinking is innate for all living beings to know the way forward. The yearning is the different... Tao in the hearts of individuals!"
"Whether they are Immortal Ancestors or Ancient Ancestors, although they are called ancestors, they are all practicing Taoism."
Listening to the faint words coming from the opposite side, there was no sound of heaven or vision, but it shook the heart of Donglin Great Heavenly Lord like a bell:
"Cultivation of immortality and ancient times is all about cultivating Taoism..."
Throughout his life, he had heard, seen, and even comprehended countless ideas. It was certainly unlikely that his heart would be touched just because of such remarks.
The main reason for Donglin Great Heavenly Master was that he finally understood why the other party could have such a belief in his heart.
He regards himself as the pillar of Xiangang Continent, and believes that all realities on Xiangang Continent, including the Immortal Ancestor, the Ancient Ancestor, all the Great Heavenly Lords, and even the infinite trillions of sentient beings and all sentient and ruthless things in several cave worlds are due to He exists.
It is precisely because of what the other party said now.
No matter what sentient beings practice or what the system is, they are actually cultivating the Tao.
This way is not the way of heaven.
It is the path that all sentient beings insist on in their hearts. It is the persistence of all sentient beings. Even the two immortal ancestors and ancient ancestors who created the existence of the two major clans of Xiangang are pursuing what they insist on in their hearts and what they think. Move forward firmly on that path.
Therefore, this Tao is the Tao at the feet of all sentient beings.
Although this Tao is under your feet, it is far more incredible than the heavenly Tao from above. It has no limit, because... the road ahead is endless... the Tao has no limit...
so……
This Tao, this Taoist ancestor, can give birth to such a belief that feels unreal to Donglin Great Heavenly Lord.
"Tao Ancestor... turns out to be referring to the Tao at the feet of all sentient beings, the path in the heart, the direction of persistence... In this way, this person's belief is not a mirror, but... it is entirely possible..."
It was at this moment that Donglin Great Heavenly Lord truly understood the weight of the word "Tao Ancestor".
If the road has no boundaries, it naturally represents endless possibilities. In this endless future, Xiangang can really become a day that 'exists because of him'.
It was at this moment that Donglin Great Heavenly Lord belatedly realized that the other party had no intention of killing him directly because of his provocation.
In other words, at least there is no absolute murderous intention yet.
Otherwise, you wouldn’t say these few words and just do it directly.
"These few words from Dao Ancestor are enough to convince Dong Lin. However, Dong Lin now wants to ask for a few more words."
Donglin Great Heavenly Lord said, of course it is impossible to do it again. When he was in his heyday, he was no match for the strongest faith technique. Now that he has lost an arm, it is even more impossible to humiliate himself. Therefore, this request is true. Please advise:
"I would also like to ask Taoist ancestors to enlighten me. If you practice immortality or ancient times, you are actually cultivating Taoism... Then, what is true cultivation?"
If Tao can unify the ancient immortals, what does cultivation other than cultivating immortals, cultivating ancients, and cultivating Taoism mean in the eyes of the other party.
"Xiu Zhen, what is Xiu Zhen in your eyes?" Chen Xixiang asked lightly.
Yu Donglin, the Great Heavenly Lord, also has the answer to this question in his own mind.
A long time ago, Donglin Great Heavenly Lord believed that cultivation is self-cultivation. With just one word, it can be explained clearly that what you cultivate is your true self, your own origin, and finding your true self. For this reason, he also specially studied Anti-Self, God-Self, True-Self, etc.
The so-called anti-self is the appearance of oneself, the divine self is the origin of the soul, and the final true self is the true spirit that is deeper than the origin.
Later, he did gain something on this path, but until the end of his practice, it ended before the Great Heavenly Lord on this path, because the true spirit, no matter how it evolved, was already the same as the Golden Lord. Peak, true nature is immortal.
Obviously, his understanding of cultivation is not high enough. He cannot even reach the Great Heavenly Realm, and cannot rise to the level of the four major sources of cultivation that can be on par with the immortal, ancient, or even the one in front of him.
Therefore, he wanted to hear what the third ancestor in the world, Tao Ancestor, who was born from the origin of Xiangang, thought of the word "cultivation".
And after listening to the cultivation in the eyes of Donglin Great Heavenly Lord.
"The cultivation in your eyes is actually not as clumsy as you imagined. It's just that you can't take the next step. The so-called true origin in your mouth is actually equivalent to the level of the Great Heavenly Lord. You have seen through the origin and mastered the origin. , then, it is necessary to transcend the origin." Chen Xixiang said lightly.
"Beyond the origin?" Donglin Great Heavenly Lord asked. At this moment, he seemed to be as serious as he was when he first bowed to the mountain gate and listened to the master's lecture on refining Qi and building the foundation.
"The origin is the foundation of cultivation. To transcend the origin is to transcend yourself. Theoretically speaking, it requires three steps: cultivation, soul, and body. Among the three, the easiest one to transcend is the physical body, followed by cultivation, which is the most difficult. It’s the soul.”
Chen Xixiang put his hands behind his hands and said slowly to himself:
"The origin only moves for the source of Tao, the realm above the origin. It is to transcend inwardly and constantly seek the origin of oneself!"
At this moment, what he was telling Donglin Great Heavenly Lord was the way of innate gods and demons.
It is also related to the other world at our feet, the time and space, the practice system of I Want to Fengtian.
"Beyond the origin, transcendence..."
Donglin Great Heavenly Lord murmured in his mind, and suddenly felt that the path that he had given up on before, which stopped at the Golden Lord level, suddenly became infinitely wider: "Being detached from oneself, is to step into the sky..."
However, the difference is that one seeks inwardly, while reaching the sky means taking one step forward and jumping out in a new way.
Chen Xixiang's expression was calm, but compared to the original detachment, the immortal's step on the sky, in the pursuit of demons, it expanded infinitely outwards... The road has no limit.
"The word "cultivation" is actually the process of moving from the third step to the fourth step, looking inwards to seek the source of one's own Tao, and infinitely expanding one's own Tao without boundaries outwards, in the world in front of you... …”
As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the Xiangang Continent in front of him:
"That's... using false cultivation to step into the sky with one step, but it is not to crush the illusory sky, but with this step, it will shatter your own illusions, making yourself and the sky under your feet more real!"
Cultivation, cultivation.
A true word corresponds to a false word.
Before Wang Lin allowed cause and effect to form a loop, the so-called Immortal Gang Continent, also known as the Nichen Realm, was an illusory sky.
It was created by Su Ming using faith techniques, a world that exists if you believe it.
It itself has no past and no origin, so...there is no original cause in cause and effect.
Only the result of the existence of the Nichen Realm, the word cause and effect, lacks a source, cannot be complete, and cannot truly fall into the logical concept, so this sky... before Wang Lin, was indeed illusory.
It was because of Wang Lin that he took one step and made this world no longer an illusion, making his life not a dream but a real experience.
"Cultivation... is the third step towards the fourth step... Ta Tian!"
Donglin Great Heavenly Venerable's mind was swaying, and he murmured these words foolishly:
"Success in reaching the sky means success in cultivation!"
"Some things, if you don't do them, you will always only hear about them from others, just like you asked me for advice. But as for you yourself, I just told you this, how much practical gains can you get? …”
A faint smile appeared in Chen Xixiang's eyes. He put his hands behind his back and no longer looked at the Great Heavenly Lord Donglin. Instead, he looked up at a certain location:
"That step is right there. You might as well be bold and take a step, and you will understand naturally."
"Just there...take a step..."
The Great Heavenly Lord Donglin was lost in thought, and did not understand the meaning of this sentence at first, until he noticed Chen Xixiang's gaze, and subconsciously turned back along the direction of Chen Xixiang's gaze, looking at the Immortal Sky behind him.
It's this look...
boom!
Suddenly, what Donglin Heavenly Lord saw in his eyes was no longer the sky of Xiangang Continent, but the threads reflected in his eyes, intertwined and intricate, like a big net. , forming circles one after another, shrouded there...
And above the circle formed by endless threads.
An infinitely huge bridge hangs there like a rainbow. It is no longer a place shrouded by the "sky" of Xiangang Continent, but is wrapped in a vast expanse.
Buzz~~
The bridge exudes an ancient aura. It has existed for countless years. It seems that they existed when the world was born.
"Treading on the road to heaven, the path of emptiness and destruction, my immortal soul, all living beings worship!"
When he saw the bridge for the first time, twelve ancient words suddenly emerged from his heart, telling him what they were.
For a moment, Donglin Great Heavenly Lord's heart was surging, and he was infinitely moved. Tears fell unconsciously from his eyes:
"That...is...the sky in the eyes of all living beings."
"That...is...the Sky Bridge!"
