Chapter 761: Controlling the Root Wisdom of All Laws, Stepping on the True Body of the Heavenly Dog in Time and Space

~22 min read 4,211 words

Seeing Yan Shu looked at the splash-ink big freehand painting drawn by the Ear-Dao God, simply closed his eyes, and looked with the sword in his heart. Sure enough, he forgot those piles of ink traces, and the thick and light ink colors began to flow. Gradually, all the demons, ghosts, monsters, demonic nature, and divine nature converged, transforming into a bead.

That bead was gently flicked by a hand, as if the whole world were reflected in it.

Seeing Yan Shu only saw this scene at the end and was awakened.

"The Sutra of Penetrating the Root Wisdom of All Laws?"

"Isn't that the sutra Qian Shidi exchanged from the Lord of Reincarnation? Cultivating one's own wisdom into a Mani bead. When counting the beads, wisdom collides, sparking the fire of thinking, and cultivating with this. Condensing three thousand wisdom beads, one can attain the Dao with wisdom. Although it is a side door, this method is truly profound. It's just that the wisdom Qian Shidi comprehended is a bit..."

Seeing Yan Shu remembered the time he protected Qian Chen.

"Qian Shidi wants to attain the Immortal Dao through nine proofs. One of them is this wisdom proof method. But what exactly did Qian Shidi cultivate the Sutra of Penetrating the Root Wisdom of All Laws into? How could he come up with such a strange thing."

Seeing Yan Shu comprehended the Ear-Dao God's painting with his clear sword heart and found that besides hiding a Sutra of Controlling the Root Wisdom of All Laws, there was also some vague comprehension of the Ear-Dao God.

Its meaning was probably that the outside was shrouded in darkness, Qian Chen's human skin slipped off, exposing the infinite wisdom inside, and then wisdom drowned everything and finally hid in the darkness.

Anyway, it was extremely abstract words, and Seeing Yan Shu only half-understood.

It was the Sutra of Controlling the Root Wisdom of All Laws that Seeing Yan Shu understood more than half of.

The Sutra of Controlling the Root Wisdom of All Laws is different from the Sutra of Penetrating the Root Wisdom of All Laws. The Sutra of Penetrating the Root Wisdom of All Laws is the fundamental sutra of the Manichaeism, where 'Penetrating' means to penetrate and comprehend, meaning the sutra of comprehending all laws and seeking root wisdom.

And this Sutra of Controlling the Root Wisdom of All Laws created by Qian Chen is translated as the sutra of controlling all laws with root wisdom.

The two sutras, although the intention is unified, the foundation is completely different.

The latter seems to have already mastered root wisdom, first having root wisdom, then seeking to control all laws. In Seeing Yan Shu's view, the foundation is wrong.

"Wisdom exists independently of humans!"

"It is not that humans possess wisdom, but that wisdom is parasitic in the human brain." Seeing Yan Shu frowned and secretly thought: "What kind of messy things are these? According to this sutra, isn't it that humans don't possess wisdom, but wisdom is controlling humans?"

"If wisdom has a root, it must be unified. If wisdom is unified, it must not originate from the human heart, because everyone's heart belongs only to themselves. Wisdom does not originate from the human heart, so wisdom does not belong to humans. Wisdom exists independently of humans. It has a root, which is the world we know."

"Wisdom is huge, it encompasses the whole world; wisdom is small, it exists in everyone's heart."

"Therefore, wisdom is Giant, wisdom is Gu, wisdom is Dream, wisdom is Ominous, wisdom is Fault, wisdom is Observation, wisdom is Ghost... wisdom is Dao-fruit!"

"Therefore, seek wisdom from the hearts of all living beings; look down on the world, the giant wisdom that cannot be observed; the heart is different from wisdom, seek knowledge with the heart, ominous wisdom; seek the boundless with the bounded, fault, unfortunate wisdom; wisdom has no form or appearance, humans die but wisdom remains, like ghost wisdom... Dream butterfly, who am I? The great wisdom of Zhou Tian's dream!"

Seeing Yan Shu only felt like needles on his back, sweating profusely without knowing it. He hurriedly wiped away the ink traces painted by the Ear-Dao God with his feet, and slashed the pure black Mani beads condensed while reading the Sutra of Controlling the Root Wisdom of All Laws with the sword in his heart.

"The Mani bead is indeed black. Thinking of its origin... one of the three treasures of the Daoist sect, the Dao Dust Bead, is probably... Sigh! Should advise Qian Shidi, that bead is evil and cannot be kept! Even if it was left by the Ancestor, the sect's heavy treasure... Sigh!"

Seeing Yan Shu sighed powerlessly again, feeling that his heart sword had become dull.

Beside her, Ning Qingchen was excitedly trying to distinguish which ink blot was her Yan Yan Shixiong Qian. She pointed for a long time, saying this one looked like him, and that one looked like him, as if Qian Chen was everywhere in the ink blots, and all sorts of strange shapes were just side profiles of Qian Chen.

She distinguished for a long time, but saw Seeing Yan Shu wipe away everything with his feet. She had just opened her mouth in surprise: "Yan Yan Shixiong Yan..."

"It's better to wipe it away, so as not to harm future generations." Seeing Yan Shu felt tired in his heart. He had already vaguely felt what the end of the Primordial Spirit True Immortals left outside was.

There was also his own uncle inside!

"Qian Shidi really had an accident! He sent us out at the end, just hoping we would avoid this disaster."

"This time Qian Shidi attained the Primordial Spirit, even not hesitating to corpse-dissect and god-dissect, soul flying and soul scattering. But besides the Taiyin Refining Form God method, he had eight other methods to become an immortal through nine proofs. One of them is the wisdom proof immortal method. But that incarnation was just a sliver of Qian Shidi's thoughts descending to the world, and what it could accommodate was only the wisdom proof immortal method!"

"So, that sliver of thought incarnation is the manifestation of wisdom proof."

"Now that the sliver of thought incarnation is out of control, it is Qian Shidi reminding us... By now, the one who attained the Primordial Spirit is no longer him!" Seeing Yan Shu looked at the deep darkness in front of him, a deep sword mark appearing between his brows.

"If it weren't for this, so many Primordial Spirit True Immortals outside wouldn't have encountered a great disaster at the same time. But looking at the situation, it's just that the wisdom of the Supreme Heavenly Demon has revived in them. They are temporarily saved... or rather, they may not realize this."

"Qian Shidi, Qian Shidi, you even pit your own people! How old is the old uncle, he can't stand the tossing of the Supreme Heavenly Demon!"

Seeing Yan Shu sighed. He didn't know how to save them either. From the Sutra of Controlling the Root Wisdom of All Laws left by Qian Chen, the wisdom of the Supreme Heavenly Demon already possessed a trace of the characteristics of the wisdom Dao-fruit.

Seeing Yan Shu firmly believed that the true root wisdom, the wisdom Dao-fruit that encompasses everything, was definitely not that evil.

But he had to admit that the ultimate wisdom in the brains of all living beings, if it possessed self-consciousness, must be like the Supreme Heavenly Demon.

"Qian Shidi let us come here, I don't know what his plan is? Although the Old Heaven sun and moon are buried in the Heavenly Dog's belly, it has no meaning for Qian Shidi to attain the Primordial Spirit! Primordial Spirit is a Dao struggle, no external object can help, only Qian Shidi's original heart can defeat that infinite demonic nature."

Seeing Yan Shu thought of the deep demonic nature that Qian Chen occasionally revealed on weekdays, and was not optimistic at all.

"As a battle between 'human' and the root of the Demonic Path, nine proofs of immortal Dao, the path of wisdom has been infected by demons. How long can other paths persist? Or... are other Dao paths in worse condition, so you put wisdom by our side? But Qian Shidi, how can I help you?"

Seeing Yan Shu thought hard, hardened his heart, simply comprehended the Sutra of Controlling the Root Wisdom of All Laws, and transformed everything he had slashed away with his heart sword into a chaotic-colored bead, hanging in his consciousness sea.

"If I don't enter the demon path, who will enter the demon path? Use myself to guide the wisdom of the demon path, and use courage, wisdom, integrity, and benevolence to forge a heart sword to slash it..."

"Qian Shidi, I cannot face a sliver of twisted wisdom Dao-fruit like you, and can only use the sword in my heart to defeat the demon path you passed down, hoping to help you!"

Seeing Yan Shu knew that from this moment on, all his comprehension, all his wisdom, and all his cognition had become enemies. Only by tempering with supreme perseverance and forging a sword with the unmoving nature of the foolish could he eradicate them.

Abandoning holiness and discarding wisdom, being an enemy of one's own wisdom!

Seeing Yan Shu made the most stupid decision, abandoning his brain when he was in a great predicament.

Ning Qingchen summoned the Ear Daoist Spirit to her palm and took out her small pouch containing Master Feng's rations. Before she could take anything out, Master Feng exploded, flapping its wings and resolutely flying to peck at the Ear Daoist Spirit. The two little ones fought into a ball, evenly matched, and Ning Qingchen hurriedly tried to separate them.

The green ox stared at the two little things with contempt—"Hmph! Childish..."

After everyone rested, several forces discussed slightly and decided to work together to get through the next section of the road.

Although the cave path behind was still long and dark, there was faint mist floating in the air.

From time to time, a few people were added or missing in the team. They often saw one, two, or three people disappear and appear, appear and disappear, and the people beside them died and appeared, appeared and appeared again, appearing in groups, occasionally mixed with ghost plagues, ominous, fierce, nightmares...

During this period, several changes that could not be understood at all occurred—in an infinitely looping cave, they saw a team exactly the same as themselves. After walking past, they met their own team from the past again.

At the most terrifying time, three identical teams appeared.

The crowds of the present, past, and future were mixed together. When they finally separated, no one knew if they were still themselves.

The strange situation had already made them numb. Everyone could only determine that 'I' was still 'I'. As for whether it was still the original 'I', they could only say to grasp the present. As for the people around them, it was even more—let it be!

Grandpa has given up!

After completely abandoning the sense of security, everyone was finally safe.

When everyone stepped into the 'palace' Little Yu mentioned, many people woke up from their numbness and were rarely shocked, because it was not a palace at all, but a huge stone bridge connecting to a brilliant palace complex covering tens of thousands of miles.

The stone bridge was thousands of miles long, and on both sides were countless skeletons tied with five-colored ribbons. Looking closely at those skeletons, dogs and humans were mixed, densely packed and countless.

Some of them held silver plates and golden cups, and their five-colored clothes were luxurious.

Some only had one bone, curled up with a thin dog corpse...

Slaves and nobles were mixed, occasionally with shaman bones with traces of cultivation. In the sea of white skeletons, the dots of gold and silver light scattered, and the Lunar Silver Soul and Solar Golden Essence were scattered among them like garbage.

This made the cultivators of the North Pole Great Bright Palace have red eyes.

Even the half-crazy old woman of the Guanghan Palace stared dead at the silver-shining dots in the boundless white beach.

But the palace and the bone sea were just wonders.

What was truly shocking was a portal that was high beyond sight, wide beyond sight, and deep beyond sight. That portal was tightly closed, like a closing vortex. The spiral patterns gathered toward the center. It was originally the most fragile opening, but it had a kind of indestructible heaviness.

The heavenly soldier beside Yu Lingxiao stared at that portal, and a trace of solemnity appeared on his wooden face.

The spiral patterns on that portal were like mountain ranges. In fact, not many people could recognize that it was a portal. To most people, it looked like a continent lying horizontally, with countless divine mountains winding into veins, gathering toward an abyss.

If a mountain range winds into a dragon, then there are at least thousands, tens of thousands of dragon veins here, bowing their heads toward one point.

"The place where nine dragons gather is the burial place of emperors. So what is buried where thousands of mountain dragons gather?"

Wang Longxiang looked at the Lu family disciple who was pointing at the point where the mountains gathered and was shocked with his mouth wide open. His brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of disgust appeared on his face. He turned his head slightly, watching many people go to both sides of the stone bridge, staring at the gold and silver utensils occasionally mixed in the skeletons.

"It really is Lunar Silver Soul!" A disciple of the North Pole Great Bright Palace picked up a silver plate, his body trembling slightly.

Lunar Silver Soul refined into water-method qi, condensing moonlight, is the most clear, spiritual, and pure kind of primordial qi.

And for the cultivators of the Guanghan Palace and the Great Bright Palace, this sun and moon essence could be used directly for cultivation. The primordial qi they sensed was of this type, and even purer than the primordial qi they painstakingly collected.

Little Yu hurriedly said: "You can take at most two or three pieces, you must not take more."

"I know it myself. Cultivators have their own trade-offs. Do you need an outsider to talk too much?"

A family disciple was dressed in brocade and jade, playing with a cold jade inscription in his hand, on which a passage of heart-clearing sutra was carved. He thought he had no greed.

He searched in the bone sea for a while, and suddenly grabbed a golden plate held by a skeleton wearing a sacrificial robe.

The plate was as big as the morning sun, made of pure gold. Even in this gloomy place, it seemed to be flowing with golden light, burning with solar fire. He held up the golden plate and only saw his own shadow reflected on it. Countless black fine threads emerged from his body, emitting wails and dissipating.

Just by shining the golden plate, the bad luck on his body was dispelled...

The golden plate was extremely heavy, like a small mountain in his hand.

But the family disciple who had never practiced body refining and despised body tempering as the work of a martial artist could hold it tightly and lift it up. His fingers were all white from the force, but he didn't notice it at all, only feeling a trembling warm current surging from his heart to his limbs and bones, giving him infinite strength.

"This thing, I will reluctantly accept this thing!"

He spoke incoherently, emitting a harsh laugh, his tone strange: "It's also... also solid. When I go back, I'll use it to hold... hold some food, it's practical. I'll take another golden cup to match it, it doesn't matter..."

After speaking, he hurriedly bent down and grabbed a handful, holding three golden cups in the skeleton of a noble beside him tightly in his hand.

But he saw another silver cup beside him, the size of a fist, so he hurriedly piled the golden cups in the plate and grabbed the silver cup back into the plate with his right hand.

The Southern Jin family disciple looked quickly to both sides, with deep vigilance in his eyes, fearing that someone would come to grab it. But no one was willing to pay attention to him. Everyone was desperately searching in the bone pile, desperately stuffing whatever they saw into their bosoms and storage bags.

Those who were more restrained were also holding one or two of the most exquisite gold and silver utensils, continuing to pick, and if they encountered a bigger one, they would change it.

It wasn't that no one remembered Little Yu's warning. Those who went down to the bone sea were only one-fifth of the young disciples in the team. The more experienced ones and the core true disciples of each Daoist lineage didn't move on the bridge. Some were watching, and some were secretly vigilant. After all, the dangers along the way were truly terrifying, and many people didn't dare to be blinded by greed.

But soon, the first batch who went down, those who were restrained, all came back with the biggest and most exquisite gold and silver utensils, and no accidents happened. And the nearest gold and silver utensils were all searched out by those who went down first, and some people couldn't sit still!

Finally, only one-third of the people went down. Those on the shore were not all calm and clear-headed people, but some had great authority and could let their subordinates search, while they watched from the shore.

If something really happened, there would be people to fill the pit, and it wouldn't harm themselves.

Soon, a small mountain of gold and silver piled up on this section of the stone bridge.

And people like Wang Longxiang, Xu Daofu, and Yu Lingxiao ignored those Taiyin and Solar treasures, just looking toward the huge stone gate in the distance. Thousands of winding dragon veins gathered, rotated, and closed into a gate. Even the smallest vein was a small mountain range.

On that continent where ten thousand mountains wound, every undulation, every small mountain was like black iron. Someone smashed it with a magic treasure, but couldn't even smash a small pit.

"Behind this gate, could it be that the ancient sun and moon are sealed?"

The old Dragon King stared at his son tightly, not letting him go down to pick up those gold and silver, only saying: "What are those? My Dragon Clan's Dew-Bearing Golden Plate unfolds like a giant island. All the gold utensils here combined cannot cast that golden plate!"

But he was extremely concerned about that gate.

"Legend has it that when your human race cultivates the Five Elements Dao, you build palaces in your internal organs and cultivate body gods to testify in them. The Five Elements Dao is ancient and comes from the Five-Colored Heavenly Court. Could it be that the Heavenly Dog also cultivates the Five Elements Five Organs Palace Dao?"

"Solid heart is the organ, empty heart is the hollow organ!"

Xu Daofu nodded slightly and said: "If the road we came from is the small intestine and large intestine of the Heavenly Dog Great Sage, is this the portal of the stomach?"

The cultivator of the Great Bright Palace grabbed a giant golden man three feet tall and took over the conversation: "The sun and moon are in its stomach! The physical body cultivated by the Heavenly Dog Great Sage probably turned the six hollow organs into worlds, with the stomach as the head. I heard that the Five-Colored God Race built divine palaces in the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. The method of cultivating the six hollow organs probably also had inheritance at that time, and it is not strange to appear on the Heavenly Dog Great Sage. After all, this Great Sage of the demon race was originally a Yuan Chen God General of the Five-Colored Divine Court, one of the twelve earthly branches!"

A cultivator from the Great Brightness Palace grabbed a giant golden man about three people tall and took over the conversation: "The Sun-Moon Palm is in its stomach! The physical body cultivated by the Great Sage Heavenly Dog is likely like having cultivated all six internal organs into individual worlds, with the stomach being the primary one. I have heard that the Five-Colored God Race built divine palaces in their heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. It is not strange that this method of cultivating the six internal organs also had a legacy at that time and appeared on the Great Sage Heavenly Dog. After all, this Great Sage of the demon race was originally a Yuan Chen Divine General of the Five-Colored Divine Court, one of the Twelve Earthly Branches!"

Seeing Yan Shu held it in for a long time and said: "What a big asshole!"

Seeing Yan Shu held his breath for a long time and said, "What a big asshole!"

Seeing Yan Shu tilted his head and thought for a long time: "What is eye... oh! This is eye. Is the asshole also an eye? What is spiritual light? What is dim?"

While thinking, three feet of blood light suddenly sprayed from Seeing Yan Shu's eyes. The blood light was like a divine sword, twisting past, almost picking off the head of an old monk from Northern Wei, flying toward the huge stone wall portal. That gaze twisted, like two blood dragons roiling, rawly slashing a faint white mark on the black iron mountain range.

As he thought and thought, a three-foot-long blood-red light suddenly erupted from Seeing Yan Shu's eyes. The blood light was like a divine sword, sweeping across and nearly taking off the head of an old monk from Northern Wei, flying toward that huge stone wall portal. That gaze swept, like two blood dragons tossing, and it forcefully carved a faint white mark on the black iron mountain range.

"Junior Sister..." Seeing Yan Shu said in a muffled voice: "I just threw away my brain, so don't talk to me. Even if you talk, I won't pay attention to you..."

"Junior Sister..." Seeing Yan Shu said in a muffled voice: "I just threw my brain away, so don't talk to me. Even if you do, I won't pay attention to you..."

A pile of ink traces, shallowly and faintly revealing a yellow dog shaking its head and tail, with its back to the outside of the painting, its two ears standing up, like two small tips, its back to the outside, its tail held high, and that tail perhaps very close to the tail, almost occupying most of the picture.

The furry, fluffy tail was like a whisk.

It also looked like a water system spreading infinitely.

The tail waved, hitting the void...

The tail waved, striking into the void...

Countless hairs on that tail spread toward time and space.

Among the hairs, a louse was lying on the dog's tail. The little dog subconsciously swept the yellow soil beside it with its tail. The small wall piled up with yellow soil blocked the long river of time and space, and there were dense caves on it, which were also crossing countless worlds. One of the caves was dug through by the little dog, leading to the pitch-black Return to Ruins.

The soil wall behind the little dog was mixed with I don't know how many messy things, and even corpses were many...

Finally, the dog hairs in the long river of time and space gathered toward the tail, but the tail extended to the buttocks, and in the middle of the buttocks, a tightly closed...

Finally, the strands of dog hair in the river of time gathered toward the tail, but the tail extended to the buttocks, and in the middle of the buttocks was a tightly closed...

"That portal is the Heavenly Dog's..."

"So the yellow mud cave we walked all the way through is just a hair of the Heavenly Dog."

"Its tail is a long river of time and space, and countless hairs on it have become bridges to countless times and spaces... No wonder the Heavenly Dog dug through the Return to Ruins, because the Return to Ruins itself is not in countless times and spaces, but a strange place that exists in the past and future at the same time, like a place of reincarnation."

"So, the gold essence and silver soul that flowed out are all because when the Heavenly Dog swallowed most of the sun and moon, the portal didn't close tightly at that moment, and leaked... leaked some?"

"It clamped them in its butt crack and left them behind?"

"It clamped them in its butt crack and kept them?"

Ning Qingchen looked at the crowd of cultivators crazily grabbing gold and silver, suddenly feeling that this was a scene with a scent, and subconsciously took a few steps back.
