Chapter 1210

~17 min read 3,294 words

The Thirty-Six Heavens Creation Pagoda and other supernatural powers encompass everything in the countless realms of the cosmos and are not something that can be 'cultivated' by manpower.

Brother Qian Chen also threw it behind his head in the blink of an eye.

At least he has to wait until the Creation of the Great Dao is achieved before he can slightly display it. Of course, constructing a model of the countless realms of the cosmos has infinite benefits for the achievement of the Creation of the Great Dao.

Now he is only one line away from this realm.

After all, the process of the Great Dao falling from the Thirty-Six Heavens onto the sea of realms is 'creation'.

Similarly, the process of all this falling into the Nine Heavens and returning to the Great Dao is 'destruction'.

This is the mystery of the two Great Dao fruits of creation and destruction.

The Thirty-Six Heavens Creation Pagoda, the light scattered by the Great Dao Pearl on the base is 'creation', and similarly, what falls into the black hole below and gradually returns to darkness is 'destruction'.

After contemplating this pagoda in his heart, Brother Qian Chen's understanding of creation and destruction also made great progress.

Brother Qian Chen looked up and down, observing the hall formed by the Zhao Zhao Tianli Dao fruit.

There are also traces of the Thirty-Six Heavens Creation in it. Sure enough, Lu Buwei, as a Great Great Fangshi of the Creation Sect, has a cognition of the overall situation of the countless realms of the cosmos that is slightly inferior to Brother Qian Chen, who has the foundation of the Supreme, but his cognition of some subtle places is even better.

This time Lu Buwei revealed the Zhao Zhao Tianli Dao fruit without reservation, which is also a kind of compensation to Brother Qian Chen for agreeing to suppress the Dragon Emperor.

The tiles on the top of the hall are like green jade glaze, which is the manifestation of the purest interwoven laws of the Immortal Dao.

Each one is a manifestation of a part of the laws of the Immortal Dao.

Or rather, each tile contains a method of becoming an immortal, which can open up a great sect in the human world, or even a county-level world in the Earth Immortal Realm, and its family-inherited classics are nothing more than one of its tiles!

And there are countless tiles on the Zhao Zhao Tianli Hall, like the azure sky, endless!

"Green tiles and gray bricks!"

Brother Qian Chen sighed with emotion: "Daoist friend, this Zhao Zhao Tianli Hall gathers ten thousand laws, and the wisdom and insights of countless cultivators in the world, and the corner of the Great Dao they have seen, have all turned into these tiles, layered one upon another. It is just like the manifestation of the azure sky and the traces of the Great Dao that I saw in the past."

"There is heaven in the world, but why seek heaven? What all living beings see and cultivate is also a heaven!"

"Zhang Jiao's 'Huang Tian should stand' in the past should come and see this heaven of yours; the azure sky is not dead, the azure sky has already stood!"

Lu Buwei shook his head and said: "Although the Huang Tian is narrow, the masses are united, and it is a whole, it is not necessarily not a heaven."

"Although this azure sky of mine is wide, it is fragmented, and it is okay to stack bricks and tiles to support the dome of the Zhao Zhao Tianli Hall, but to call it a heaven... it is a bit arrogant." Lu Buwei looked at the countless tiles and said: "Tiles connected, and dare to call it heaven? How arrogant!"

"People live in it, and the heaven is above their heads, how can it not be?"

Brother Qian Chen disagreed.

"These green tiles are just methods formed by countless cultivators participating in the Immortal Dao and picking a piece from the Great Dao."

"What one person sees is just a glimpse, which is a tile. And the Great Dao is whole, can thousands of fragments be pieced together into the Great Dao?"

Lu Buwei smiled: "On the contrary, the context among them, the paths and methods that many cultivators rely on to recognize the Great Dao, have become the beams of the dome pieced together by many green tiles!"

Brother Qian Chen said noncommittally: "Is wisdom the beam?"

He looked at the many brackets on the beams: "Buddhism, Daoism, Demon, Confucianism, Mohism, Legalism, Names, Yin-Yang, Five Elements... Even if cultivators attain 'immortality', what they see is just a glimpse of the Great Dao, which is just a tile. Only the succession of these contexts and Dao lineages can be the brackets that support these countless green tiles, and the wisdom of people recognizing the Great Dao can be the beam."

"Thus opening the hall of the Zhao Zhao Tianli Hall!"

"Outside this dome, I'm afraid it's not 'heaven', but 'unknown'!"

"Lu Buwei! Lu Buwei! There is nothing outside it, only the Dao, you still say this dome is not 'heaven'?"

Lu Buwei laughed loudly, suddenly feeling like a soulmate.

That's right, although he kept saying that the various methods of the Immortal Dao are just a glimpse of the Great Dao and do not form a whole, Lu Buwei believed that with the Hundred Schools as the context and wisdom as the root, it would eventually be possible to penetrate ten thousand laws and turn them into a heaven!

"Ten thousand laws of the Immortal Dao are the beams and halls, then the many realms are the pillars!"

Brother Qian Chen looked at the many pillars supporting the entire hall: "Sensory, Qi Refining, Penetrating the Law, Jin Dan, Yin Spirit, Yang Spirit, these six are the main pillars, and there are many side pillars—Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Soul Transformation, Returning to Void, Mahayana, Primordial Chaos, Skin Refining, Bone Forging, Innate..."

For a time, those pillars had a feeling of being endless.

It seems that all the realms leading to the Immortal Dao have turned into beams and pillars here!

"Except for the six main pillars I created, the various realms and classes created by others based on the Immortal Dao will also be projected here, supporting this 'heaven' of the Immortal Dao together with me!"

Lu Buwei said calmly.

"What about Foundation Establishment?"

Brother Qian Chen looked left and right and asked curiously: "Why don't I see the Foundation Establishment realm?"

Lu Buwei pointed to the threshold of the Zhao Zhao Tianli Hall: "Because Foundation Establishment is not a realm, but a threshold!"

He smiled bitterly: "After I opened up the Immortal Dao, a boy came with the decree of the Primordial Dao Ancestor and many great powers, ordering me to set Foundation Establishment as a threshold. This realm is not a realm for climbing the Immortal Dao, but a threshold for practitioners."

"The Primordial Dao Ancestor said that the path of cultivation itself has deviations in its foundation, and its essence is still the pursuit of power."

"Practitioners have no constraints. If this path flourishes, it is inevitable that there will be times when it goes off track and endangers the divine path and human order of the countless realms of the cosmos. So he asked me to set Foundation Establishment as a threshold. Once the Immortal Dao gets out of control, many Dao Venerables can raise the threshold of Foundation Establishment and block countless people from cultivation, limiting the Immortal Dao from the source."

Lu Buwei's expression was a bit complicated; this threshold violated his original intention of establishing the Immortal Dao from the foundation.

But what the Primordial Dao Ancestor considered might not be unreasonable.

Brother Qian Chen also lowered his head and thought deeply. Not to mention the Primordial Dao Ancestor, even the Supreme, if the Immortal Dao got out of control and endangered the human path, endangered this life root of the Supreme.

I'm afraid the Supreme would do something even more extreme!

The Primordial still wants to constrain the Immortal Dao and make it elite.

And the Supreme is afraid that he would cut off the Immortal Dao from the foundation and cut off the communication between heaven and earth!

But this topic is too taboo, so Brother Qian Chen shouldn't say too much.

But from this, it can be seen that Lu Buwei and a group of Great Great Fangshi opened up the Immortal Dao with the tacit approval and help of the Primordial Dao Ancestor.

At least the Penetrating the Law realm is built on the talisman Dao fruit; without the permission of the Primordial Dao Ancestor, it is a dream.

Brother Qian Chen could only look at those slightly illusory pillars and asked curiously: "Immortal Dao classes, realm pillars, there must be many benefits, right? Daoist friend, you don't resent it?"

Lu Buwei laughed loudly: "You are underestimating me, aren't you?"

"What we Great Great Fangshi opened up is the Immortal Dao, not 'realms'!"

"The so-called realms and classes are just paths to climb the Immortal Dao we opened up! How could anyone abandon the Great Dao they truly want to establish for the sake of monopolizing a few steps and path interests? It's like a merchant abandoning their own market to collect tolls."

"I am a tycoon of the countless realms of the cosmos, how could my vision be so low?"

"What Daoist friend said really has the worry of Nanhua Dao Venerable's rotten rat..."

Brother Qian Chen pointed to the six pillars: "That's not some mere small profit!"

"Daoist friend established pillars here, created classes and realms, and the power of the wisdom, courage, benevolence, and integrity of countless cultivators in the world pursuing realms to promote the evolution of the Great Dao will all feed back here. This is the 'creation' mentioned by those Nine Heavens Heavenly Demons, and it is also a kind of Dao rhyme. The Dao rhyme fed back by countless cultivators, through your... Dao palace built like a Heavenly Realm, gathers here, I'm afraid it will give birth to a remarkable 'creation'."

The principle is very simple; it is of great benefit for Dao Monarchs to entrust their Dao fruits to the Heavenly Realm.

And Lu Buwei imitated the Heavenly Realm and constructed this Zhao Zhao Tianli Dao fruit, which of course would concretize the benefits.

This 'creation', which is of great benefit even to Dao Monarchs, can be called a supreme treasure of the countless realms of the cosmos. I'm afraid no amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures can compare to it.

Lu Buwei smiled: "Hahaha... you still saw it! That's right, this is why Dao fruits must be entrusted to the Heavenly Realm."

"Daoist friend should know that before we established the Immortal Dao, the mainstream of the Great Dao of cultivation was the ancient witchcraft path, and the witchcraft path had the Dao palace method for Dao fruits."

"The Dao fruit is entrusted to the Heavenly Realm, and the Heavenly Realm encompasses the countless realms of the cosmos, so the primordial qi interfered with and influenced by the Dao fruit will spread throughout the countless realms of the cosmos, becoming the place where the laws and rules of the Dao fruit are entrusted."

"And the source of those primordial qi in the Heavenly Realm will be collected by the Dao fruit and turned into a realm, which is naturally very small compared to the Heavenly Realm opened up by a Dao Venerable."

"It's even difficult to call it a realm; it can only be called a 'Dao palace'."

"And the various 'feedback' and 'laws' of the Dao fruit operating in the countless realms of the cosmos will be gathered by the Dao palace to nourish the Dao fruit!"

"This Zhao Zhao Tianli Hall of mine is a 'Dao palace' modeled after the Dao fruit entrusted to the Heavenly Realm, establishing a structure to gather the feedback of the countless cultivators of the countless realms of the cosmos practicing the Immortal Dao, and with the help of the Dao fruits entrusted to the Heavenly Realm behind those realms, refining it into a certain 'creation', and then enriching it."

"This kind of creation, Daoist friend naturally knows long ago..."

Brother Qian Chen understood Lu Buwei's unfinished meaning in an instant.

"Could it be, a fruit position?"

Lu Buwei nodded: "You can also say that. For a Dao Monarch, the spiritual qi of people is the spiritual qi that can truly be used for cultivation. This kind of spiritual qi is reflected in people's pursuit and perfection of the Great Dao mastered by the Dao Monarch, which is the embodiment of the wisdom, courage, benevolence, and integrity of millions of people. This feedback of spiritual qi, transformed by the Dao fruit, is the 'fruit position'."

"It refers to the mutual verification between those who practice the Great Dao and the Dao Monarch who holds the Great Dao!"

"Without this kind of feedback and verification, even if a Dao Monarch operates the Great Dao, it is inevitable that there will be deviations due to the self, making it difficult to be perfect."

"Therefore, at the moment when a practitioner verifies the Great Dao, the Dao fruit will bestow a 'fruit position', making them possess a trace of the characteristics of the Dao fruit."

"The 'Primordial Spirit' realm known to the world is a kind of 'fruit position'."

"It's just that the Primordial Spirit Dao fruit is truly powerful, possessing various incredible things; it seems to be a kind of composite Dao fruit, and at least a composite of several perfect-level innate Dao fruits. Only then can an existence that achieves the 'Primordial Spirit' fruit position possess the characteristics of longevity, infinite power, freedom, and so on."

"And the other single Dao fruit fruit positions are far inferior to the Primordial Spirit."

"Therefore, the Primordial Spirit is the orthodox Great Dao of the countless realms of the cosmos."

"Other innate fruit positions can only be said to possess the power of the Primordial Spirit, comparable to the Primordial Spirit, and some even claim to be able to live forever, but in reality... their longevity is not stable, it is a kind of pseudo-longevity. If you really want to live forever and be free, you still have to prove the Primordial Spirit!"

Brother Qian Chen understood: "Lu Zi's realm, imitating the Primordial Spirit, naturally also borrowed some 'fruit positions'."

Lu Buwei nodded: "Primordial Chaos Dao fruit, Jin Dan Dao fruit, Talisman Dao fruit, Spiritual Inspiration Dao fruit..."

"Wait, the Spiritual Inspiration Dao fruit doesn't seem to be perfect. The sensory barrier is from illusion to truth, why not use the True Illusion Dao fruit?"

Brother Qian Chen had to interrupt Lu Buwei; this is his creation, his money!

Lu Buwei smiled bitterly: "Before Daoist friend, True Illusion was hard to find, so I could only seek the 'Supreme Sensory Chapter', borrowing the Spiritual Inspiration Dao fruit to fake the True Illusion and operate the True Illusion Great Dao. And the Primordial Chaos Dao fruit also encompasses primordial qi, which forged the sensory realm."

Brother Qian Chen's face changed slightly, and he asked with his hands behind his back: "The Primordial Chaos Dao fruit is fine! I don't know, which Dao Monarch holds the Spiritual Inspiration Dao fruit?"

Lu Buwei waved his hand repeatedly and said: "The Spiritual Inspiration Dao fruit is the Great Dao of the Buddhist school, Daoist friend must not act recklessly."

"Buddhism?" Brother Qian Chen's thoughts turned a few times.

How could he not pursue it? That's my money!

My money!

Lu Buwei looked at Brother Qian Chen's face before continuing: "Of course, fruit positions also have high and low levels. Verifying the Dao fruit and initially possessing a trace of the characteristics of the Dao fruit can only be called a lower-level fruit position."

"Those that supplement the fruit position and fill in the missing parts of the truth can be called middle-level."

"Only those that open up the other side of the Dao fruit, hold part of the authority of the Dao fruit, and can even limitedly interfere with the operation of the Dao fruit can be called upper-level fruit positions."

"Therefore, most of the fruit positions of the Dao fruits of the countless realms of the cosmos are lower-level, middle-level ones are rare, and once they appear, they are Dao seeds, leading to Dao struggles, and upper-level fruit positions even split the authority of the Great Dao held by the Dao fruit, so they cannot be produced unless they are perfect-level innate Dao fruits!"

The meaning of the whole character is a person who ascends to Heaven.

This character clearly expressed the 'Immortal Path' that Lü Buwei sought—combining the strength of the masses to feather and ascend to Heaven.

"The origin of my Daoist tradition combines Confucianism and Mohism, merging names and laws, but in the final analysis, it is still the word 'Dao'. Just like Han Fei, he was the synthesizer of the Legalist school, and I was the synthesizer of the hundred schools, but we both recognized ourselves as disciples of the Huang-Lao school and the Daoist school. Because what the hundred schools sought, in the final analysis, was the Great Dao, and the Virtue of the Great Dao lies in the Supreme. Therefore, the source of the hundred schools ultimately still has to go towards the Supreme."

"Since one seeks the Dao of the Supreme, one must fall on the word 'person'. Therefore, the immortal is ultimately a person."

Lü Buwei asked Brother Qian Chen: "What does this 'Immortal' character look like to you?"

Brother Qian Chen looked for a long time, then suddenly smiled: "It looks like a person lifting a Dao Fruit, and another person receiving the Dao Fruit from Heaven."

Lü Buwei nodded and pointed to the pair of hands receiving the Dao Fruit from top to bottom.

"This is the Supreme!"

"And those hands below are not us; the one kneeling is us!"

Lü Buwei said gloomily: "The characters in the world all originate from oracle bone script and bronze script. The former is the script used by the primordial Witch Dao to record divination, and the latter is the trace of human Dao cast on vessels. They all have a common source—the Divine Dao. Cangjie created characters and fully described the secrets of ghosts and gods. Therefore, oracle bone script and bronze script are characters that carry the Divine Dao. But this 'Immortal' character originates from the time when Immortal Qin wrote the same script and drove the same track, and it was a seal character created!"

"I created it."

"It is the character of the Dao Lord's Dao that I summarized from the hundred schools and lifted the Dao Fruit, depicting the process of us attaining the Dao and lifting the Dao Fruit."

Brother Qian Chen said faintly: "I thought the Primordial Spirit was already an immortal!"

Lü Buwei nodded: "The Primordial Spirit is indeed a True Immortal, but only a Dao Lord can lower his head and see the Immortal Path clearly. Above the Immortal Path, the Primordial Spirit is just a beginning; the Dao Lord is the end."

"First, the Supreme Dao Ancestor opened up the Primordial Spirit realm, and only then did I walk out step by step from the Primordial Spirit, Yang Spirit, Yin Spirit, Jin Dan, Qi Refining, and Penetrating the Law, finally walking towards mortals."

"After leading mortals to the Primordial Spirit, I started from the Primordial Spirit again, walking step by step towards lifting the Dao Fruit and achieving the realm of the Dao Lord."
