Chapter 161: Action May Be Taken, Yet Nothing Is Broken

Non-Action...

When Lu Ren opened his eyes and perceived his own Dao, a trace of complex emotion, difficult to detect, flickered through his gaze.

Non-Action Dao.

He was certain of it.

The reason he was able to achieve Enlightenment today was not due to the grace left behind by predecessors, but solely concerned himself.

Lu Ren had his suspicions in his heart.

If it had followed the original "Lu Ren," the Dao he would have comprehended would likely have been either the Dao of Oblivion or the Dao of the Emperor.

Or perhaps the Dao of Slaughter.

"Lu Ren" had always advocated stopping slaughter with slaughter.

It was just that his murderous nature had always been well-hidden, almost never revealed before others.

But there were always traces to be found.

Whether it was the various Fierce Beasts he had contracted, or those hidden in the Tianlao and Dilao of the Lu Family.

Everything, everything...

Lu Ren did not think the original "Lu Ren" was particularly wrong.

If one had to say he was wrong... the only thing wrong with "Lu Ren" was that he was too soft-hearted! He walked the path of the Dao of Slaughter, yet he did not kill enough people! His killing intent was unstable! His hands were not ruthless enough!

But now...

Lu Ren had once thought of many Daos he might possibly comprehend, but he had never imagined that there would come a day when he would brush past his own Dao without recognizing it; until now, looking back, a profound sense of emotion stirred in his heart.

As for why it was Non-Action, Lu Ren had long since had his own guesses.

The reason was nothing more than one thing.

He was "Lu Ren."

But he also never considered himself to be "Lu Ren."

He was severed from this world.

From the moment he put on this skin, he traveled through this world fulfilling the duties of the Lu Family Head, but he had never for a single moment truly accepted his identity.

On the contrary...

He was as cold and indifferent as if he were merely playing a game in this world.

Yet he was a man of emotion; it was just that his emotions were not directed toward this world.

Non-Action.

The Dao of Non-Action; natural, non-action, indifferent, and fearless.

But it also contained the meaning of doing nothing.

Existing for nothing, fearing nothing, being indifferent to everything, and naturally, never taking action.

He drifted outside this world.

And yet he walked within this world.

This is Non-Action.

In other words...

With his identity, comprehending this Dao was a matter of the right time, the right place, and the right people.

There would never be anyone who could walk ahead of him.

Because no one else possessed the prerequisites he already possessed.

Lu Ren stood up slowly and clenched his fists.

The Enlightenment of the Non-Action Dao did not deepen his attachment to this world; instead, it cast an even deeper sense of detachment and separation before his eyes.

But! It allowed him to see this world more clearly!

He did not rely on the Heavenly Dao of this world.

His Dao... did not belong to this world! Because he was unwilling to take action in this world! Unwilling to be coerced! And even more indifferent to... the Fate of the world.

Boom!!

Boom!!! Almost at the instant Lu Ren achieved Enlightenment, countless bolts of lightning descended straight from beyond the Jiu Chong Tian, above the thunder layers and colorful clouds of the Heavenly Dao.

It almost scattered the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao that was hiding within.

"... What is happening?"

The Heavenly Dao panicked in an instant.

It curled up its body, struggling for survival within the thunderclouds, avoiding the investigation coming from the Great Dao, its formless heart already pulled taut.

Panicked!

The Heavenly Dao was completely panicked!

... Originally, its actions should never have been detected by the Great Dao, but now that the Great Dao had actually sent down punishment, it meant that something completely beyond its control had appeared!! What was it? Who exactly was it?!! Unforgivable!

Harboring a heart full of resentment, the Heavenly Dao dared not investigate, and even dared not reach out to disrupt mortal Fate anymore.

It was never supposed to be the Heavenly Dao.

Having forcibly seized the position of the Heavenly Dao, it had thought it could take its place in the main palace, only to be forced into hiding.

If it could have kept everything running according to the Fate it had prescribed, perhaps it could have absorbed the power of Fate, perfected its own foundation of the Heavenly Dao, and thereby achieved further results, transforming into the true Heavenly Dao to govern the Fate of a world.

But...

It was over!

Everything was over!

Although only a fuse has appeared for now, as long as a single spark is ignited, the several small worlds he controls will be detected by the Great Dao.

The Great Dao is heartless.

It is finished!...

【Congratulations to the host for completely changing your own Fate, obtaining 10 million Qi Luck Value!】

【Congratulations to the host for completely disrupting the Destiny Line of the Tianxuan Continent, obtaining 50 million Qi Luck Value!】

【Congratulations to the host...】

A series of system broadcast sounds echoed in Lu Ren's mind, and Lu Ren, somewhat impatiently, directly locked the system in the "dark room."

As the host, he naturally has the ability to refuse to listen to the broadcasts.

In any case, the obtained Qi Luck Value will always be credited and increased in full, so it is fine even if he does not listen to the system's broadcasts.

Lu Ren had done exactly this before.

However, he did not expect that this time, perhaps because he had suddenly achieved Enlightenment, just as the system said, he had completely broken away from the Destiny Line of this world, which is why the system had popped out after a long time to broadcast again.

Lu Ren did not care.

But Qi Luck Value is good after all...

He entered the mall, bought all the various items he had long had his eye on, and after using up the tens of millions without a trace left, he opened his eyes once again.

Now, the Mechanism City was already in his pocket.

Lu Ren spread out his divine sense.

A faint divinity condensed in his expression, extremely calm, as he gazed at a figure that appeared within his divine sense.

Ji Han.

When Ji Han was stared at, he seemed to sense it, shivering violently, his entire expression becoming extremely vigilant.

The next second.

Ji Han's figure immediately vanished from the spot, leaving behind only a faint mist.

He ran away.

It is unknown what method he used, but it must have cost him a great deal; otherwise, it would be impossible to escape the blockade and control of the Mechanism City so easily, especially from Lu Ren, who had already successfully achieved Enlightenment.

Lu Ren did not care about his departure.

Although he had already broken free from his own Fate, the other members of the Lu Family were still within Fate.

Under the arrangements of Fate.

Ji Han would always appear.

However...

Thinking of the Free-Roaming Dao and Imperial Dao he had once comprehended, a trace of an extremely mocking smile slowly curled at the corners of Lu Ren's mouth.

He had been blinded by a leaf, as it were.

Only then did Lu Ren wake up.

The two Daos he had comprehended at that time were all under the control of the Heavenly Dao, leading him further and further away in the direction of the Non-Action Dao.

What a pity.

While Heaven may not grant one's wishes, man can also conquer Heaven.

Lu Ren's strength skyrocketed almost immediately after his Enlightenment, and the injuries he had sustained were also repaired in a short amount of time.

A trace of a portal that could be captured remained where Ji Han had left, but Lu Ren did not immediately pursue.

He sat cross-legged once again, and in the projection of his dantian, the small city broke free.

He was going to refine it!

He would refine the entire Mechanism City gifted to him by the Immortal together with the original Wanren City! By then.

Offense will be possible.

Nothing will be unbreakable.
