Chapter 15: Nature and Nurture
A gaze seems to be cast from the depths of the avenue, and the mighty energy is contained but not released. It is like the avenue coming in person, giving people heavy majesty, and they will surrender involuntarily.
Zhao Yu took a deep breath.
Emperor Tianxiao!
His heart was shaken.
This is the most powerful immortal in the Taichu Immortal World, an existence close to the Tao!
Such characters often exist in legends. How lucky to see it now!
With his mind shaken, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
In the haze, Zhao Yu seemed to feel someone talking, in the sky, in his ears. He couldn't hear it clearly, but he seemed to understand something. Suddenly there are many doubts, and suddenly there is an enlightenment!
It seems that there is a road in front of you, a road to the sky, and at the end is the root of heaven and earth, the source of the avenue!
Wandering on the road, he saw many existences that he knew or didn't know, and the endless Tao lingered around, making it dizzying.
It's like seeing a big tree, with countless leaves and countless roots, until there is a main trunk leading to the source. I saw traces of countless laws derived from countless avenues, Yin Yang, Five Elements, all living things, all-encompassing and all-encompassing.
Faintly, at the end, there is a majestic existence suppressing everything. It is a silhouette. Majestic, vast, infinite, immeasurable, and indestructible.
Seeing the countless laws derived from the great avenue, countless creatures are worshiping him!
At some point, the Taoist rhyme changed. The road became rugged, sharp and dangerous. There are murderous intentions to exterminate everything, there is lawlessness and contempt for everything, there is the destruction of law and Tao to end everything, there are the yin and yang poles of life and death, there are the five elements that are retrograde and collapse the world, and finally turn into a point, as if they are going to explode, and the great road will be repeated.
A figure is on the top of the mountain, overlooking all things, ruthless and unparalleled, only I am the master!
Zhao Yudao's heart is like a vast ocean, one wave after another, one wave after another, and the road is like a storm sweeping endless boiling and bumping, gradually becoming exhausted. The Taoist heart is washed and tempered in it, almost to the point of collapse!
He almost felt out of breath and felt like running away immediately.
At this moment, Daoyun changed again.
Like a gurgling stream, warm spring water, like a rainbow of sunshine after a storm, suddenly, there is a sense of cheerfulness that lingers in my heart. Dao's heart paused for a moment, and the bright light in his heart burst out, as if he had jumped out of a certain shackles. Suddenly, the sky and the earth were vast, allowing birds to fly and fish to leap!
"That is..."
Zhao Yu groaned in his heart, and saw only a ball of Hunyuan, rolling in chaos, like the evolution of the great road, innately boundless, he rushed towards it regardless of his own safety...
...
Zhao Yu came out of his trance and felt lonely.
The Daojun Palace has long been deserted and empty. The Golden Immortal Dao Lord, the Great Immortal above the Dao Lord, the Heavenly Emperor... So much so that there were only twenty-seven people left listening to the Dao. He was alone here, and the rest were all gone.
"Is this the end?"
Zhao Yu stood up, feeling lost.
After a long time, Huijian killed some stray thoughts, shook his head with a smile, turned around and walked out of the hall.
It was in my heart that I was pondering.
"I don't know how Jinxian Taoist practices, but based on historical knowledge and experience, I guess that Jinxian Taoist must have perfected at least one acquired path and embarked on the path of rebellion against innateness."
The great way of evolution is to create something out of nothing. Before the universe begins to evolve, there are five stages. After the fifth concubine, they are innate. The Fifth Supreme Being of Xiantian is actually a special stage of evolution before Xiantian and after Dao. When the five evolutions are complete, the universe will manifest its original innate stage, giving rise to yin and yang, determining the four images, transforming the five elements, and deriving the ancient universe. The ancient universe is the innate stage of the universe. All the laws in it are unique and are the innate way. The innate yin and yang avenue, the innate five elements avenue, and so on.
Then the universe began to evolve from nature to nature.
Chaos retreats, innate metamorphosis, creation of all things, from innate to acquired, Yuan Qi transforms matter, and various acquired avenues of derivative changes intertwine and collide. With the growth of the universe and the gestation of living creatures, endless laws are derived.
The light of the universe and the sky are extremely strange. The universe is formed with the transformation of nature into nature and the construction of the framework of the universe. Zhou Guang didn't know where he was coming from or where he was going. At the beginning of the evolution of Dao, there was no concept of space and time. Space is derived from the Five Elements Avenue, which is derived from Yuan Qi to construct matter, and it is between nature and nurture. As for time, it is probably directly derived from the great avenue after the formation of the universe, and there is no distinction between prior and postnatal.
The cultivation of monks and the fundamental pursuit of the great path is a retrograde process.
Whether it's foundation building or energy refining, they are just steps beyond the threshold. Only when the soul becomes stronger and the Dharma image is cultivated can one be qualified to directly touch the surface of the law. Only after cultivating the soul can you gain a glimpse into the mystery of the law.
Going backwards from certain laws to the acquired path, cultivating the path to perfection, and fully understanding the countless laws involved in this acquired path is the process from nurturing the seed of the path to the fruition of the path. This is a process of elucidating the path of tomorrow.
Those with outstanding roots, profound Taoism, and profound foundations may involve more than one avenue. For example, Zhao Yu has at least nine avenues - Yin, Yang and Five Elements. There are seven here, plus two of the universe and the light of the universe, which makes nine.
The cosmic light in the universe is Zhao Yu’s fundamental nature. The more advanced your cultivation is and the more you touch your own roots, the more intuitively you can understand these two avenues. The seven elements of yin and yang and the five elements have never fallen behind since the beginning.
The Yin-Yang Avenue is all-encompassing and everywhere. Zhao Yu has mastered the Five Elements Dao. To fully understand the Five Elements Dao, he must touch upon the wonders of Yin and Yang. Because the five elements are also divided into yin and yang.
Before becoming an immortal, these avenues had not yet been polished and cultivated to the level of cultivation level. This is also the fundamental reason why he cannot defeat Taoist Xuanli. Although you have obtained the innate creation and refined the innate Hunyuan body, it does not mean you have obtained the innate body.
He has an innate Hunyuan body, but the Tao of cultivation is still in the acquired stage.
It has to be innately created, which is caused by external things. I have some understanding, but I have not really started.
The Golden Immortal Dao Lord is the first step to cross the threshold of the Xiantian Dao.
If you want to practice one or more acquired avenues to perfection, achieve the fruit of the Tao, and attain the golden immortality, you must turn the acquired path into the innate path and pursue the elusive innate path.
The last Golden Immortal may have been involved in the Xiantian Dao, but Zhao Yu came late, and he only listened to the sermons of more than ten Golden Immortals. These ten or so were the most powerful Dao Lords in Taichu Xianhuan. There's no reason why they didn't involve innate principles.
But in the process of preaching, there is no innate wonder in their preaching.
Naturally, there are reservations.
Later, the sermons of the seventy-two great immortals who surpassed the Golden Immortal Taoist Lord were only vaguely involved. And in the end, starting from Emperor Tianxiao, the innate wonders were really involved, which made Zhao Yu's achievements suddenly become clear.
"The Golden Immortal has touched the innate world, but he never spoke about it and had reservations. The great immortals above the Golden Immortal also had reservations and only had a few words. Only when Emperor Tianzun started to touch the innate world did they really touch it. They are naturally practitioners on the innate path. They all hold back and throw out the 'useless' ones - of course, for me, this is enough and I'm almost full. If I preach without reservation, I'm afraid I won't be able to persist."
