Da Xuan Martial Saint - Chapter 1519: 729: The Final Path to Transcendence (Part 2)
Capítulo 1519: Chapter 729: The Final Path to Transcendence (Part 2)
This pattern, even a three-year-old child in the mundane world could easily draw with a twig. Although it seems devoid of mystery, upon closer inspection, one might feel it subtly contains countless Daoist Charms, yet the specifics remain elusive upon deeper thought.
“Threefold Return to Void?”
“One Element Birth, Three Lives All Things?”
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Chen Mu’s mind.
Standing at his current Realm, he is nearing the pinnacle of what a Dao Venerable can achieve. To move forward from here is akin to the Primordial Palace Master of the Time Temple, who initially accomplishes the fusion of three Origin Daos, or possibly two.
However, upon seeing the system panel display this extremely simple yet seemingly fundamental map of the Great Dao, he faintly feels that the path taken by top Dao Venerables like the Primordial Palace Master and Spatial Island Master might be misguided.
Even though Chen Mu himself cannot grasp that most crucial beam of Spiritual Light, nor clearly define what the true path to Transcendence is.
“It seems it is not an endeavor of a brief moment.”
“No, that’s not the way to put it. This ultimate step of Transcendence is unlike the process of comprehending the Great Dao; it requires no accumulation, nor does it require any profound foundation.”
“To achieve Dao Venerable and command three Daos implies a foundation of universal Origin comprehension, with no further progress possible. Therefore, to truly take that step forward, the only necessity is to perceive that one crucial point.”
Staring at the image on the system panel, Chen Mu’s Inspiration grows ever more abundant.
While the image alone cannot directly reveal the path to Transcendence, the guidance it provides is abundant, allowing him to vaguely distinguish between incorrect paths and roughly identify what a correct path might resemble.
The system panel is a Supreme Treasure of Transcendence, and the guidance it offers towards Transcendence is undoubtedly the most accurate.
The final step,
requires perception!
Once perceived, once understood, one can immediately Transcend, reaching the other shore in an instant, breaking supreme rules, surpassing the Great Dao.
Fail to understand, and one remains confined to the level of Dao Venerable, whether it be the fusion of two Daos, initial fusion of three, or mastery of entire dual-fusions of three Daos…
Regardless of the degree achieved, without truly grasped perception, the distance to that step of Transcendence remains the same.
“Since it’s understood, there’s no need to be constrained.”
The more Chen Mu comprehends, the more he understands, the more at ease his heart becomes, increasingly relaxed, ultimately even quietly putting away the system panel image and ceasing to examine the panel’s guiding diagram.
Knowing the correct path to Transcendence is not about arduous cultivation or accumulation, but about a natural leap in Realm, removing the need for self-imposed stress and forced pursuit.
Perhaps,
he merely needs to witness the opening of the Universe and the Creation of all things, allowing everything to come to fruition naturally.
Even now, Chen Mu has clearly perceived and already points out why figures like the Primordial Palace Master went astray, revealing where they erred—Transcendence, Transcendence, is for surpassing, is for extracting.
The harder one strives for Transcendence, ironically, the farther one is from it!
Consider,
comprehending Creation, comprehending Void, comprehending Time… encompassing the vast Universe, when everything is already in one’s grasp, when reaching an end, yet desiring to go further, to continue possessing, then one is already contrary.
At this step, having exhausted all that ‘is’, seeking Transcendence should be to return towards all that ‘is not’.
For learning, daily increase, for the Dao, daily decrease, decrease and decrease again, until achieving non-action!
When all becomes empty, neither being nor emptiness, neither thought nor non-thought, naturally knowing all, possessing all.
However,
understanding this is easy, achieving it proves difficult, even as a Dao Venerable, transcendent above the Universe, genuinely accomplishing non-thought, neither being nor emptiness, is likewise no simple task.
Just as the most modest of commoners possess little to begin with, solitary and alone, they more readily relinquish all they possess, hence in death, their body and soul return to the heavens, restored to the Great Dao.
At the level of Dao Venerable, exhausting all that is in the Universe, exhausting the transformations of all things, having acquired everything, relinquishing becomes difficult, because this relinquishment does not mean abandoning one’s power, but at the Realm level to allow the Myriad Phases to return to emptiness.
The three Daos, essentially one entity, need not be fused; they are inherently integrated.
Only through interference of the self-will, the impurity of human thoughts, that they cannot be fused into one. Only by quietly withdrawing oneself from within, achieving a thought of being, a thought of emptiness, a thought of desire, a thought of nullity, then the three Daos naturally interlace, coalesce into one, and oneself shall rely on this to step into Transcendence.
“Nature, nature, all ultimately investigates nature…”
Chen Mu does not know how to nullify himself, but realizes the nearer to nature, the closer to non-being, this closeness to nature is not detachment from the Universe, not distancing from the mundane, but integrating into it, becoming part of it, thereby oneself gradually nearing the essence of the Great Dao operating without thought, also gradually gravitating towards non-being.
Chen Mu remembers those who, due to being unable to advance on the path of the Great Dao, were ultimately entirely consumed by the Great Dao, and he sighs momentarily.
Self-fused with the Great Dao, achieving Dao Venerable, is an irreversible process, as well as a nearing of the Dao process.
The more they defy the essence of the Great Dao, resisting fusion, wishing to retain self-will, naturally they are further from the Dao, and farther from Transcendence, continuing thus naturally prevents Transcendence.
Indeed,
though spoken thus,
how many, after exhausting their lifetime capabilities, reaching the position of Dao Venerable, can truly abandon self?!
Chen Mu does not believe that among the countless Dao Venerables throughout history, the countless brilliantly talented figures, none have ever thought of this solution, none have ever discovered this path… this path has certainly been conceived, but no one has dared to tread it.
After penetrating the three Origin Daos, no longer advancing, proceeding in natural sync with the Dao, speaks simply, yet should this choice be incorrect, should this solution be flawed, then after ten cycles of the Universe, the self-will will be thoroughly obliterated by the Dao!
And it will be thoroughly annihilated!
Walking this path, and showing even a trace of doubt, a moment of retreat—failure is certain.
Now, Chen Mu can already glimpse the essence of the system panel; the image the system panel presents to him is essentially the root of the system panel itself, thus Chen Mu can trust this path as the true path to Transcendence.
…
Within the Source Sea,
Chen Mu follows Wutian Venerable and others, continuing to explore the Source Sea, seeking opportunities and resources.
Everything remains as it has always been, yet within Chen Mu’s heart, the path to Transcendence becomes increasingly clear and distinct, thus his thoughts regarding the competition for those marvels also become increasingly serene.
Originally, he intended to compete for numerous marvels, particularly those exceedingly rare Primordial Marvels, which contained the congruent forces of multiple Daos, hoping to glimpse the mystery of Transcendence therein. But with his recognition of the path now, he knows that those Primordial Marvels do not hold the key to Transcendence.
Using Primordial Marvels as a basis, forcibly integrating a small amount of Mystical insights of the Daos to enhance power, does not bridge the gap towards Transcendence, and may to some extent even distance one further.
“The highest good resembles water, seeks not dispute nor demand, let everything follow its natural course.”
Chen Mu murmurs softly to himself.
…
In a bizarre Abyss somewhere within the Source Sea.
Boom!!!
Led by Wutian Venerable, Beast Divine Venerable and others repeatedly join the fray, Chen Mu mingling among them, maintaining a composed and tranquil demeanor, wielding his hand like a blade, casually slashing, confronting a Creation Venerable.
Throughout the Abyss, over a hundred Dao Venerables encircle a central erupting volcano with fierce radiance.
The volcano within churns with roiling Primordial Power, evidently gestating a marvel, at least of the Daoist marvel level, and its current spectacle, scale, and commotion may possibly reach the level of Primordial Marvel!
Hence, countless Dao Venerables gather here, numbering over a hundred, including not only numerous crews like Wutian Venerable’s, but also many venerable figures from previous and even pre-previous Universe cycles.
There are even some powerful venerables who command three Daos, wield supreme treasures of the Dao, with singular might able to navigate the battlefield, facing the likes of Wutian Venerable’s team, seven or eight Dao Venerables combined, yet able to advance and retreat with ease.
The situation is chaotic.
