Chapter 287

"If 'cloud' reaches its ultimate form, it becomes Auspicious Cloud; Auspicious Cloud embodies all blessings, karmic connections, and auspicious omens, bestowing blessings upon all sentient beings and granting blessings from heaven and earth."

"If you become the Supreme, you can embark on the Path of the Supreme Auspicious Cloud."

"If one day you become the Supreme, then the heavens and myriad realms, even the boundless heavens and countless worlds, all that exists, all blessings shall originate from you, all karmic connections shall manifest through you; you shall be the source, wielding the concept of cause and effect."

Li Mo said calmly.

Though each word and sentence was plain, they were like the great bell of the Dao, like the sound of the Dao itself, entering straight into the soul, booming with resonance; every word contained profound mysteries, and every phrase held boundless Daoic rhymes.

Let alone Seeing Hongyun, even other onlookers were already intoxicated, as if they had comprehended the mysteries of the Dao within these words and perceived clarity on the path ahead.

As for Seeing Hongyun, the protagonist of this matter, it went without saying; his breathing had already become rapid, red threads seemed to appear within his eyes, and his expression was filled with longing and desire.

In the Honghuang World, the strong are revered, and all beings pursue transcendence and higher states; this is the same for all living creatures, and on this basis, every living creature naturally has their own preferences.

Like Seeing Hongyun, he likes to help others and is happy to offer enthusiastic assistance; this can be said to be engraved in his true spirit, so that even if he says he won't do it, if he sees a situation, he will involuntarily step forward to help.

In this way, the Path of the Supreme Auspicious Cloud is undoubtedly the best choice for him.

Not only can it satisfy his Dao heart of becoming stronger, but it can also fulfill his wish of great love for the heavens; how can it be described merely as 'killing two birds with one stone'!"

"I earnestly request the Dao Lord to bestow the method!"

Seeing Hongyun said impatiently.

"If you are to be the Supreme Auspicious Cloud, the first thing to do is to change your original form, or rather, to integrate other substances."

"Anything positive, if it is a blessing, can be integrated, transforming your Seeing Hongyun original form into the body of an Auspicious Cloud; if you take your Dao fruit as the core and evolve it with the power of your Dao fruit, this will be sufficient to achieve it."

Li Mo did not pretend to be mysterious or hide anything; he slowly explained the Supreme Path step by step.

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Seeing Hongyun agreed decisively.

Although consuming the Dao fruit to strengthen the original body would cause his realm to drop, his path was already wrong; he was going to have to waste his cultivation base anyway, so it was essentially irrelevant and the same either way; in that case, it was better to make use of the waste.

Anyway, with Zhenyuanzi's protection, plus his cultivation base already being where it was, and the spiritual energy layers in the Honghuang World rising higher and higher, Seeing Hongyun would be able to fully restore his cultivation base in no time, so he was not worried.

"Once the body of the Auspicious Cloud is formed, your first step is complete, and you can officially begin your Supreme Path."

"Blessings and karmic connections in the world all have a fixed number; everything follows the law of cause and effect; if you are the Supreme Auspicious Cloud, these orders will naturally be born from you and formulated by you."

"Embracing a hundred rivers, containing ten thousand Dao; what you must do is merge with the Dao."

Li Mo said word by word.

"Merge with the Dao?"

Seeing Hongyun pondered, a sharp light flashing in his eyes; he vaguely comprehended something, yet it remained unclear like picking flowers in the mist; this caused Seeing Hongyun to fix his gaze tightly on Li Mo, waiting for Li Mo's explanation.

"If merging with one realm, it becomes a copy of that realm, enjoying blessings and wonderful fruits, subject to absolute order."

"Right and wrong in the world are all judged, all balanced by your Great Dao; if wrong, then punish; if right, then bestow blessings."

"Through your Dao, merge into the Honghuang; this is it: for every Dao your path of blessings and karmic connections merges with, you become stronger by a fraction; if all Great Dao of the entire Honghuang are under your path of blessings and karmic connections, you become the formulator of blessings and karmic connections for the Honghuang."

"From this, the curtain rises; from this, the prologue begins; when the Honghuang is completely under your control, you can swallow and merge the heavens."

"If Nuwa is the one who suppresses the heavens and holds the heavens, then you are the one who assimilates the heavens and merges the heavens; if all Great Dao of the heavens and myriad realms are under your assimilation, you become the source of all karmic connections and blessings of the heavens, and all rewards and punishments are formulated by you."

"And at that time, it will be the moment your first stage of the Supreme Path is complete; you will also be able to gather the blessings and karmic connections of the heavens to assault the Supreme realm and advance to the second step."

Li Mo said slowly.

"Starting with the rules of one realm, swallow the heavens, refine the heavens, held by me, with me as the source of blessings..."

Seeing Hongyun's body trembled; he comprehended completely, understood fully; his eyes became as dazzling as the great sun, as brilliant as the stars, as if radiating endless brilliance.

"I understand."

"Hongmeng... Purple Qi!"

"This is my opportunity, and this path belongs to no one but me; only I can walk it."

With bright eyes, Seeing Hongyun murmured to himself.

Hongmeng Purple Qi!

The key to becoming a Sage!

If merging with the Dao of the Honghuang, I ask, how could the Heavenly Dao allow it?

How could an ordinary living creature obtain the Heavenly Dao's consent?

But if it were a Heavenly Dao Sage, then it would be completely, utterly different.

Living creatures cannot do it, but a Heavenly Dao Sage can!

Because a Heavenly Dao Sage is originally under the Heavenly Dao, also the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, and under the Heavenly Dao's supervision; the Heavenly Dao naturally would not worry about him doing anything detrimental to the Honghuang.

"Starting with the Honghuang, now the Honghuang's foundation is constantly increasing, and its status is constantly rising."

"If I am a Heavenly Dao Sage, if I swallow the Heavenly Dao rules and merge with the Honghuang Great Dao, by the time it is completed, even if my strength does not reach the Great Dao realm, it will definitely be very close."

"In this way, I can enter the heavens; even if other planes do not allow it, I can use my strength to suppress a realm by force, swallowing the Great Dao at the fastest speed."

"Once I have accumulated enough strength, I can directly swallow the Great Dao of the heavens, turning the entire heavens into my foundation and basis, forging the foundation of the Supreme!"

Having comprehended completely, understood fully, Seeing Hongyun, now knowing how to proceed on the Supreme Path, said in one breath.

"Correct; this is your path."

"The Path of the Supreme Auspicious Cloud is also the first stage of your Supreme Path; if achieved, you can advance toward the second stage."

Standing with hands behind his back, Li Mo said slowly.

"Thank you, Dao Lord, for bestowing the method; thank you, Dao Lord, for pointing out the way; your grace, Seeing Hongyun will never forget for eternity, will forever keep in his heart."

Seeing Hongyun bowed deeply and said solemnly.

Compared to other Supreme Paths in the Honghuang, the Path of the Supreme Auspicious Cloud might not be the strongest, but for Seeing Hongyun, it is the best and most suitable.

Moreover, the Path of the Supreme Auspicious Cloud is only slightly inferior in terms of attack; in other aspects, it may not necessarily be worse; do not forget, with blessings and karmic connections upon the body, luck is upon the body, naturally immune to ten thousand methods; who could possibly harm him?

"Zhenyuanzi, you do it."

Li Mo nodded slightly and then turned his gaze toward Zhenyuanzi.

(daac) Speaking of it, if Zhenyuanzi were to walk the path of the Supreme, the most suitable one would actually be the same as Yang Mei's: the Path of the Supreme World.

Of course, in terms of attainment in the Dao of Space, Zhenyuanzi is far inferior to Yang Mei; if speaking of who between the two is most suitable for the Path of the Supreme World, it is undoubtedly Yang Mei.

Fortunately, although the Path of the Supreme World is gone, Li Mo still has other choices!

Did he really think his deductions over these endless ages were a joke? The options for the Path of the Supreme are simply too many.

"I earnestly beg the Dao Lord to bestow upon me the Path of the Supreme."

Zhenyuanzi could barely contain his excited heart and immediately stepped forward to speak respectfully.

He had just witnessed and seen the Path of the Supreme of Hongyun; regarding how well the Path of the Supreme Celebratory Cloud matched Hongyun, Zhenyuanzi knew better than anyone.

If Hongyun was like this, how could he be weaker!

After waiting so long, the Path of the Supreme has finally opened for him!

"If you tread the Path of the Supreme, it can be the Path of the Supreme Zhenyuanzi, or it can be called the Path of the Supreme Earth Immortal Ancestor."

Li Mo spoke slowly.

"The Path of the Supreme Earth Immortal Ancestor?"

Zhenyuanzi's eyes lit up; something seemed to dawn on him in his heart, as if infinite realizations were gathering and surging forth, his gaze naturally becoming even brighter, and in the misty unknown, it was as if a sentence rang in his heart.

Supreme Earth Immortal Ancestor; the Dao of the Supreme Earth Ancestor belongs to no one but him!

"Earth bears the heavy favor of Heaven; if one stands upon the Great Earth, one guards the land veins of a region and stabilizes the space of a region; wherever one treads is the Great Earth, which is absolute defense."

"I seem to understand what you mean, Dao Lord, but there is one thing I do not understand: how exactly should this Dao be walked? There is only one Heaven and Earth; if I take Honghuang as my foundation, am I not bound to Honghuang? How can I then venture into the heavens and myriad realms or even higher?"

Zhenyuanzi spoke while pondering.

"Your comprehension is quite good."

Li Mo praised him.

Although he had ignited the torch, everyone's comprehension differs, so the effects produced naturally differ.

For instance, Hongyun only understood after he had almost pointed it out, whereas Zhenyuanzi could draw inferences from one instance; no wonder he could become one of the top experts of later generations, hailed as the peak existence beneath the Sages, and even the Sages had to yield three parts to him; indeed, his reputation was well-deserved.

"However, you have forgotten one point."

Li Mo said leisurely.

"???"

Zhenyuanzi.

"The Heaven and Earth of Honghuang is Heaven and Earth; then, is the Heaven and Earth of the heavens and myriad realms not Heaven and Earth?"

"Whatever exists upon the Earth is your home ground; if there is none, then create an Earth."

"You are wrong on one point: it is not that you bind yourself to a world to bear weight as Earth, but rather that wherever you are, you are the Earth Immortal Ancestor, you are the Earth Ancestor."

Seeing Zhenyuanzi's confusion, Li Mo spoke slowly.

"!!!"
