Chapter 121: 【Neither withered nor flourishing, gnawing on the willow to attain the Dao】 (Seeking votes)

The Willow God is extraordinary. Now in the nirvana stage, it is not that she is stronger in each life after rebirth, but that she needs an opportunity to completely connect the accumulation of several lives to pick up her memories and cultivation from her previous life.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art might be this opportunity.

This supreme Immortal Scripture is not only an ancient scripture created by the Immortal King of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, but also involves the highest mysteries of the Immortal Ancient Era—the Dao fruit jointly studied by various Immortal Kings: Reincarnation!

From the reincarnation concept of the Immortal King of the Six Paths of Reincarnation to the "no beginning and no end" of the Immortal King Wuzhong, to the Buddhist monk king of the Immortal Monk King, the Great Dao comprehended by the Immortal Kings of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths lineage is connected, intertwined, and all deriving in the same direction, developing toward a certain system.

Three thousand Great Daos lead to the same destination. If the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths had not been interrupted, and evolved to the end, with a perfect system, perhaps a Reincarnation Dao Ancestor would have been born.

As the Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit, she was one of the earliest Immortal Kings of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and one of the strongest in the original ancient world. She used the method of faith to the extreme, so it is impossible that she did not involve reincarnation. The Willow God likely participated in the creation of the law in the Immortal Ancient Era.

The moment Lin Xian handed the complete Reincarnation Immortal King scripture to the Willow God, the Willow God herself was a bit dazed, doubting whether Lin Xian was truly the backup she left in her previous life.

"I hope the Willow God will help me in my cultivation." Lin Xian bowed, incredibly sincere.

"If it is not your own realization, it will be difficult to connect in the future." The Willow God warned. This was good intentions. If he blindly followed her footsteps, his future achievements would not surpass hers.

This is the principle that those who learn from me live, and those who resemble me die.

"My hometown has suffered a great disaster, and there are only two hundred years left. For the sake of all living beings, I cannot care about my foundation." Lin Xian said with an incredibly calm expression: "Even if I stop at the peak of a True Immortal in the future, I am willing."

"Have you considered it? Are you willing to sacrifice your own path?" The Willow God asked immediately.

"For the sake of all spirits, what does it matter if I, who misses my hometown day and night, suffer a little?" Lin Xian said righteously: "My lord, please make your decision."

"Since you have this ambition, you should have this heart. Let us comprehend it together." The Willow God said calmly, extending her willow branches like green mist divine chains, opening the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art. This Immortal Scripture is always new when read, and every time she reads it, she has new insights.

"Thank you, Willow God!" Lin Xian was overjoyed, sitting under the big willow tree. A willow leaf, not green but golden, slowly fell from the center of his forehead, blooming with radiance and full of sacred aura, making him feel the same as the Willow God and touch the Reincarnation Great Dao.

In the past, Sakyamuni practiced under the Bodhi tree to become a Buddha.

Today, Lin Xian, the gnawer of Kings, is comprehending the Dao of Reincarnation under the big willow tree.

As for being limited to the Willow God’s law, it doesn't matter. Lin Mouren had long since given up.

From the Dao Scripture, the West Emperor Scripture, the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Art, Buddhist methods... he just copied homework all the way up!

Now, what’s wrong with copying the Willow God’s law?

The Willow God’s future is an Immortal Emperor, with hope for the Sacrificing the Dao realm. If Lin Mouren copies the homework and manages to copy a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, wouldn't that be a huge profit, a level higher than the original Immortal King goal?

If the Willow God works harder and becomes a Heavenly Emperor who has Sacrificed the Dao, Lin Xian might go even further.

The E-Tu Plateau has this structure: ten ancestors, ten Immortal Emperors.

Each Dark Immortal Emperor corresponds to a Dark Ancestor, following the same path. Once a Dark Ancestor falls, the Dark Immortal Emperor has hope of succeeding to the ancestor position.

He, Lin Xian, also wants to be a Willow God Prince!

With an obsession to inherit the family property and a vow to gnaw on the old, Lin Xian’s eyes were bright, worshipping the Willow God wholeheartedly, contributing a trace of pure power of faith.

The surface of the charred willow tree was glowing, as if it contained a world, with countless ancient ancestors praying, chanting sounds coming out, crystal clear, the radiance hazy, forging eternal immortality.

In a trance, he looked at a slender figure, peerless in elegance, looking down on all things, looking down on heaven and earth.

Then, in the blink of an eye, no human form, no willow tree, nothing was left.

Only a piece of charred lightning-struck wood remained, evolving vitality in extinction, nirvana in destruction.

"Sacrificial Spirit Law..."

The "past self" Lin Xian’s heart moved. This divine law is no worse than the Buddhist law. The later Buddhist sect traced its source to the inheritance of the Immortal Monk King, and the Great Emperor Amitabha is a similar flower.

The Willow God might have discussed the Dao with the Immortal Monk King back then.

If it can be brought back, it will be of great benefit to the "true self" Lin Xian’s cultivation.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud noise that only Lin Xian and the Willow God could hear exploded, shaking the soul, like reincarnation turning, opening a brand new page.

Like a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation, and like the first blooming of morning glow!

Lin Xian’s ears were buzzing, and there seemed to be the sound of a great yellow bell ringing in his heart. The Dao law was natural, rushing into his divine sense, deafening—this is the supreme mystery.

He hurriedly discarded distracting thoughts, concentrating on receiving the Willow God’s empowerment.

This ancient heavenly art is broad and profound, and it is impossible to master it in a short time. Lin Xian could only force himself to remember it, and then silently ponder the true meaning, understanding its most essential mystery.

In the initial stage, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art is just a driving force that turns reincarnation, using it to drive the stars of the heavens, all things in the universe, Emperor weapons, and Immortal soldiers, integrating various powers of the universe to finally strike a shocking blow.

But as the scriptures echoed and evolved toward the later stages, Lin Xian seemed to see the rise and fall of all things, the changes of the universe, and the passing of one era after another.

That is true reincarnation—not only is the universe in reincarnation, but even he himself is in reincarnation.

In an instant, the "past self" Lin Xian seemed to see the "true self" Lin Xian. Two time and spaces were in reincarnation, yet existed at the same time.

That is a mystery that is hard to describe!

The past and the future appeared at the same time. Who is the present? The distance between the "past self" and the "true self" gradually blurred, and the "Dao self" was glowing.

Two lives standing side by side!

Then, Lin Xian retreated. He couldn't comprehend this Dao realm at all; it was too deep and mysterious. Neither his Primordial Spirit nor his flesh could remember it, only some vague concepts flowing in his heart.

"What is this thing?" Lin Xian’s eyes were full of confusion, looking at the big willow tree, hoping to get some inspiration.

The Willow God said indifferently: "Four witherings and four flourishings, constant joy, self, and purity; neither withered nor flourishing, neither false nor empty."

Lin Xian pondered for a moment, a trace of realization appearing in his eyes, thoughtful: "I don't understand."

"There is a willow tree in the world, sometimes withered, sometimes flourishing." The Willow God whispered: "You tell me, is it one tree, or two trees."

"When it is withered, it is one tree; when it is flourishing, it is another." Lin Xian looked at the Willow God’s current posture, thoughtful: "It is two trees, and yet the same tree."

"When flourishing, the willow tree has four flourishings, called constant, joy, self, and purity; when withering, the willow tree has four witherings, called inconstant, no joy, no self, and no purity."

The Willow God said indifferently: "Entering nirvana between these eight realms means neither withered nor flourishing, neither false nor empty."

Withered trees and flourishing trees are like this; the "past self" and the "true self" are also like this.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art is broad, profound, and incredibly complex, describing the endless mysteries of reincarnation, including the universe and people.

Lin Xian thought for a while, and finally decided to copy the homework, coughed, and said: "The willow tree is not a tree, the platform is not a platform, originally there is nothing, where does the dust come from."

"This is not your Dao." The Willow God said indifferently, waving her willow branches, and taught the simplest cultivation and insights to Lin Xian.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art is divided into four steps: body, feeling, heart, and law.

The body is in reincarnation, feeling is in reincarnation, the heart is in reincarnation, and the law is also in reincarnation.

"This is still simple!" Lin Xian suddenly realized. Sure enough, comprehending the Dao is not suitable for him. It is better to gnaw on the Willow God step by step.
