Chapter 301: 【Gnawing on Legend】

"The world says that my Wang family's "Calculation Scripture" is too domineering and suffers from heavenly jealousy. The descendants who inherit the "Calculation Scripture" are all weak and sickly. If they cannot achieve the Dharma Body before the age of fifty, they will inevitably die young."

Wang Siyuan covered his nose and mouth with a blood-stained white handkerchief, coughed violently, his aura incomparably weak, and muttered: "But after proving the Dharma Body, that is when the nightmare truly begins. The ancestors of the Wang family, if they achieved the Dharma Body, would encounter ominousness when they sat down, and would be ominous after death, not ending well..."

"Entangled in karma, like a puppet; you can't have both." Lin Xian said indifferently: "Since the Wang family has been passed down for more than twenty thousand years, it naturally has to bear the corresponding price. Young Master Wang, only by giving up can you gain."

The Wang family of Jiangdong has gone through the ancient and middle ages, avoiding bad luck and seeking good, and has been passed down to this day. It is the family with the longest history, knowing many ancient secrets. After more than twenty thousand years, the foundation is deep to the extreme.

However, when the moon is full, it wanes; when water is full, it overflows. A child holding gold will inevitably encounter disaster. With many treasures, it will inevitably attract the covetousness of great experts, followed by endless trouble.

"Giving up and gaining, giving up and gaining." Wang Siyuan muttered in his heart, took a deep breath, seemingly having made up his mind, and when he opened his eyes again, there was a bit of madness in them, whispering: "Qingyuan..."

"Young Master, Daoist Qingyuan has gone far." The maid beside him reminded, making Wang Siyuan stunned. Why didn't this person listen to him finish? Wasn't he curious about the secrets of the Wang family?

He was simply like a game player who didn't listen to the NPC's plot introduction and clicked skip directly!

"Before Daoist Qingyuan left, he also left a note." Another maid holding a fruit plate walked up. The pastries and preserved fruits on the plate had been bitten away by Lin Xian, replaced by a piece of paper.

On it were written two words—Underworld!

"Underworld? Ominous!"

Wang Siyuan took a deep breath, his fingers trembling slightly, with some uncontrollable excitement. He knew, he actually knew everything!

Cooperating with someone who knows the truth, cutting off the shackles, and getting rid of control seems to be a glimmer of life.

The curse and ominousness of the Wang family originated from that ancestor of the Wang family who created the "Calculation Scripture", mastered Luo Shu, and calculated without omission!

Back then, the Heavenly Court collapsed, the human world was in disorder, and the Wang family ancestor of the Creation Realm spied on the heavenly secrets, refined the Ghost God True Spirit Map, wanted to establish a true Underworld, become the master of the netherworld, participate in the struggle of Other Shore entities, wanted to fish in troubled waters, and even took the opportunity to ascend to the Other Shore!

Unfortunately, Other Shore entities are ultimately Other Shore entities; below the Other Shore, all are ants.

Bitterly hating that every year they press the gold thread, they are making wedding clothes for others. All the plans of the Wang family ancestor were picked by other Other Shore entities, and he had to sit down helplessly.

The trump card of the Wang family ancestor to dare to fight against Other Shore entities, left by the Dao Venerable's Dao Fruit, the Heavenly Dao monster gestated by the remains of the Yellow Old Lord, completely became the source of the Wang family's chaos. Since then, every generation of Wang family Dharma Body heads would become part of the Heavenly Dao monster after death.

"Heavenly Dao monster, Heavenly Dao karma, Ghost God True Spirit Map, Underworld karma, Luo Shu, Human Dao karma—the three are intertwined, turning into the endless curse of the Wang family of Jiangdong. The Wang family ancestor was really daring to cause trouble..."

Lin Xian muttered. In such a situation, the karma is deep. Even if he has Other Shore entities standing behind him and has the layout of the Will of Heaven, he cannot easily interfere.

Wanting to get out after entering the game is not enough with his current realm.

At the very least, he needs: slightly possess legendary characteristics, be omnipresent, and be meticulous!

At this thought, Lin Xian walked quickly to an alley entrance. In front of the door was a Dragon Locust tree of unknown age, lush and leafy, blocking the sunlight and casting a piece of shade.

Under the tree, an ordinary-looking old man with gray hair was carving.

He held the tree root in his left hand and the carving knife in his right, his expression focused, his heart without distractions, as if every knife under his hand was his entire life.

Lin Xian gradually slowed his pace, his gaze fixed on the knife and wood, his heart and spirit fully invested, as if watching a saint perform the Dao.

The carving knife fell, the tree bark fell, and there was only the sound of the carving knife and the rustling sound of falling to the ground nearby, appearing peaceful and pure.

Natural truth, pious and focused!

Only those who are extreme in emotion can be extreme in sword!

For a long time, as the old man dropped the last knife, a lifelike female statue appeared in his hand. Lin Xian also let out a long breath of turbid air, his heart relaxed, his physical body active, his Dharma Image and laws initially intertwined and combined, crossing the first heavenly ladder and arriving at the fourth level of External Scenery!

As for the first three levels, they are water-grinding work, breathing vitality, condensing acupoints, and there is no reliance. With a few Golden Pills in his stomach, it is naturally formed.

"This little brother has such high talent and such a great background; he seems similar to a god."

Master Lu Da raised his head, sighed, and then said indifferently: "Unlike me, who is mediocre and incomparably dull."

"If the Heart Sword, which explores the legendary path, is a dull person, then there are no geniuses in the Myriad Heavens and Worlds."

"Pure Yang Sect, Qingyuan pays respects to Master Lu Da."

Lin Xian shook his head, stepped forward to salute. No matter which world it is, such a predecessor who explores the path ahead and opens up the system is a Dao ancestor worthy of respect.

"Legendary path?" Master Lu Da shook his head and smiled: "On the road, whether there is an end ahead is not yet known."

"Not walking the traditional path, but obsessed with purifying the self—perhaps in the eyes of a true legend, I am a fool."

"Not so." Lin Xian talked eloquently: "The legendary path of this universe originates from a group of Innate Divine Spirits such as the Three Pure Dao Venerables. They are indifferent to emotions, close to the Dao, and natural, so they choose to assimilate the 'other me' and merge projections."

"Innate Divine Spirits originate from the Great Dao, and the path of returning all selves is more in line with their nature."

"However, our generation of acquired living beings has rich emotions. We are not born of Dao, but of man, and pay more attention to the self."

"Although I am similar to a god, my emotions are like all living beings."

"The predecessor's move is no different from opening another path for acquired living beings."

"Once successful, it can be called Dao Ancestor!"

"I dare not accept this honor." Master Lu Da still shook his head, incomparably seriously: "I am just an explorer on the road. This path is only suitable for some people."

"Those who learn from me live, those who resemble me die."

As everyone knows, Master Lu Da embarked on an alternative legendary path because he missed his late wife. Because this emotion is not possessed by the 'other me', he emphasizes the self and cuts off the 'other me'.

In other words, if you want to walk this path, you must first have a girlfriend!

Only those with deep obsession can walk this path.

If the Ruthless Empress came to cultivate it, it might be possible to succeed.

As for Lin Xian, he has no late wife and no brother.

The single dog Lin Xian pondered for a long time and said slowly: "I really don't have the obsession of the predecessor. If I blindly imitate, it doesn't fit my nature."

Then what is Lin Xian's nature?

Lin Xian sat cross-legged under the tree, communicating, discussing the Dao, and sparring with Master Lu Da, from confusion to realization, from realization to doubt, from doubt to sudden enlightenment, from sudden enlightenment back to confusion.

Various emotions alternated. The more he knew, the more he didn't know.

The more he analyzed himself, the less he recognized himself.

What does the legendary path look like? Is it to improve the essence, project the 'other me', or imprint the 'other me' acquiredly and strengthen the self.

"Who am I, who is me?"

Lin Xian issued a question from the depths of his soul.

It is not like Master Lu Da or the Ruthless Empress, who are extreme in emotion and extreme in Dao.

Nor is it like Ye Fan or Shi Hao, who have great luck, take all living beings as their responsibility, shoulder the world, suppress the Myriad Worlds, and are confident that they are invincible.

Even less is it like the tireless seekers of the Dao, such as the Buddha, the Dao Venerable, and the Three Pure Ones.

Lin Xian pondered, as if enlightened. Master Lu Da did not interrupt him, just got up and walked, his gaze looking into the distance, as if he saw the monstrous river water coming to worship.

Time passed, a day and a night passed, and the sound of the tide became more vast, finally reaching a limit!

"Splash!"

The increasingly rising Jin River surged violently, turning into a tide more than ten feet high.

At the same time, the mountains and rivers around Maoling and the rising morning sun were all covered with a layer of seven-colored brilliance, as beautiful as a dream.

At the alley entrance, the sunlight passed through the branches and leaves of the Dragon Locust tree, casting brilliant golden spots on the ground.

Light and shadow were mottled, the human world was swaying. Lin Xian stretched out his palm to catch a ray of scorching light, warm and clear, and thought thoughtfully: "So that's it, it's actually like this!"

In my life, I don't fight for Dao Fruits, I only love to gnaw on the old and suffer the young. Suddenly, the golden shackles were broken, and the jade locks were torn here. Hey! The tide of the Jin River has come; today I know that I am me.

I am me; why distinguish? Struggling with the 'other me' and the 'self' is just looking for trouble for oneself.

Being content with a little wealth is his nature, gnawing on the old and suffering the young is his nature, being kind-hearted is his nature, being dark-bellied and shameless is his nature, getting something for nothing is also his nature, and being good at dancing is still his nature.

"My nature, from nothing to something, like Yin and like Yang, has good and has bad."

"Whether good or evil, it is my nature and cannot be discarded."

"Respond to ten thousand changes with no change, respond to ten thousand movements with no movement."

"Like the sea, encompassing all things, lifting a thousand followers, moving without form and able to transform things."

"Therefore, my nature is that the sea accepts all rivers, tolerance is great, the wall stands a thousand ren, and without desire, one is strong."

"The 'other me' of the Myriad Worlds is endless; the 'self' has no demands, and the 'self' is the only one."

Lin Xian stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the tide on the horizon, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said incomparably affirmatively: "Gnawing on the old and suffering the young is me, lying flat and lying down is also me."

"Bodhi originally has no tree, the bright mirror is also not a stand; originally there is nothing, where does the dust come from!"

Seeking outward, gnawing a little is a little, suffering a little is a little, following one's heart, refusing no one.

But also stopping at the right point, possessing self-knowledge, following the trend, riding the wind, and not forcing the position of the Heavenly Mandate Protagonist or the Universe Master.

This is the legendary path that Lin Xian realized himself!

Only to see Lin Xian take a step, come to the bank of the Jin River, stand side by side with Master Lu Da, and chant softly: "Where this heart is at peace is my hometown."

Master Lu Da looked back, thoughtful: "This is your legendary path, the combination of acquired and innate? Using a mortal body to fuse with divine authority."

"Yes, my path is similar to the predecessor's, but also different."

"On the 'self', I must learn from the predecessor to continue to purify the self, improve my own essence, strengthen uniqueness, realize that I am me, and let the light of my nature leap to the infinite height."

"On the 'other me', I am the only one, just like an embryo of an Innate Divine Spirit. It can be said that I am a born legend; I only need to master the authority and inherit the position!"

Lin Xian said frankly, today I know that I am me, originally there is nothing, where does the dust come from.

Where is the need to prove the legendary Dao? He was born with legendary characteristics. From the moment he stepped into the Real World, he was a legend; it was just because he was too weak that the characteristics were not displayed.

The experiment in the world of "Under One Person" was correct; he already had a subtle induction.

Next, he just needs to imprint the 'other me', project the Myriad Worlds, and even inherit, devour, and merge with the 'other me' of other legends!

There are two paths to take.

Kill the Innate Divine Spirits, usurp their authority, and replace them—this is the negative path.

Inherit the legendary position, the creation position, the Other Shore position, become the second generation, the third generation, continue to gnaw on the old—this is the positive path.

"Authority, position?" Master Lu Da kindly pointed out: "Those are all karma, and they will have to be repaid in the future. Be careful of becoming a fish."

"Predecessor, rest assured." Lin Xian smiled: "My escape technique is first-class. If I can't beat them, I'll be the first to run."
