this infinite world

Chapter 1199: Subtract and Seek Emptiness
——Do subtraction and seek emptiness.

This is a concept that even Yang Yun, who is familiar with the plot and knows many secrets in the infinite world, has never heard of.

"It seems you don't know."

The short silence was enough to explain everything. As expected, Yi Qi saw through Yang Yun's thoughts, but he did not say anything else. Instead, he suddenly changed the topic: "I think you should have a general understanding of the fifth level, or the realm of 'saint'."

"The four elements, earth, wind, water and fire, have sainthood. If one can master one of the four, he will be a primary saint. He will condense the saintly way and comprehend the mysteries of the four elements. Above that, if one can fully understand the mysteries of the four elements and integrate them into one, he will ascend to the position of a senior saint. This is 'the way gives birth to one'."

"The 'innate' saints above this mean the entity of the universe, the origin of all things. One must first prove the 'origin' and then the 'end'. The two merge to create a complete cosmic view, which continuously derives at least forty-nine innate great ways, turning their own saintly ways into an independent foundation, gradually covering the entire multiverse, affecting the laws of the entire multiverse, and refining the earth, water, fire, and wind."

“This is, ‘One becomes two’.”

After telling many secrets in a casual manner, Yi Qi smiled again and said, "You may know, or you may not know, that the so-called 'emperor' is actually just a group of strong people who have reached the pinnacle among the innate saints."

"Although the great ways they derived from the Holy Dao Universe have gradually increased from forty-nine to thirty-nine hundred, and have reached the realm of 'two giving rise to three', the foundation of the Holy Dao has gradually become the same as the multiverse, and can even transcend the multiverse to a certain extent, making their own Holy Dao independent of the multiverse."

"But in essence, their entities still exist within the multiverse and are still subject to troubles. They are still one step away from the state of infinity and immortality."

"..."

Yang Yun knew that what Yi Qi said was true.

In terms of realm, Yang Yun, like Zheng Zha and his clone Zheng Zha, has comprehended three of the four elements, and only the last "matter" is a little short of the mark, which is not much different from the average primary saint. As such, he naturally has his own thoughts about the realm of the advanced saint after the four elements are combined into one... So far, what Yi Qi said is exactly what Yang Yun thinks.

The distinction between the realms of "Innate Saint" and "Emperor" is a huge misunderstanding. People who do not know the truth think that these two are completely different realms. For example, everyone in the multiverse knows that the human race has three emperors, but no one has ever listed the Three Pure Ones, the Two Buddhas of the West, and others on the same level with them. However, Yang Yun, who has seen the beginning of death, still remembers clearly that even when Fuxi himself declared, he only called himself and Nuwa the top of the innate saints, not transcending this realm...!
To be fair, what Yi Qi said was already extremely shocking. But Yang Yun understood that the man had not finished speaking. If he guessed correctly, there would be a sequel, which was higher than the emperor level, breaking through all restrictions, breaking through the constraints of the multiverse itself, and turning the finite into the infinite, that is, the realm of "Three Give Birth to All Things" -

——Inner universe.

"You should have already discovered from all the clues and clues that the inner universe is so supreme."

As expected, Yi Qi's opening words were earth-shattering: "The existence of the inner universe completely transcends the circulation of countless epochs in the multiverse. Even though the multiverse restarts again and again in endless reincarnations, and all things are born and die constantly, any major event involving the inner universe, such as the battle of the creation of the universe, is destined to be repeated endlessly in every reincarnation."

"For all beings below this level, any action in the inner universe is not just past history, but also the present and the future, just like a movie that will be replayed forever, flowing forever and never ending."

"From this, you should be able to imagine how heavy the cause and effect carried by the inner universe is." Yi Qi stared at Yang Yun, who was silent and had no idea what he was thinking, and continued: "Gu created the world and Jun refined the way of heaven. These are events that our multiverse must experience in every reincarnation. The extremely heavy cause and effect from countless reincarnations entangled them like shackles, preventing them from transcending."

"Of course, if they are willing to abandon everything, make up their minds, and use their supreme power to annihilate countless epochs of the multiverse, they will be able to break free from these endless shackles, transcend the world, and be free and at ease. But is that their 'Tao'?

"Because of this, the inner universe is not truly transcendent. For you and me, the reason why we cannot transcend is because our own power is not enough to reach that realm; however, for the inner universe, they clearly have the power to transcend, but because of the 'Tao' they carry, they cannot give it up, and are willing to be bound by cause and effect, and eventually fall into a self-trapped situation... It is just a cocoon for oneself."

"Nong, it was the same. However, he found a way, a way that did not violate his own way but could transcend it."

"Do subtraction to seek emptiness?"

"Do subtraction and seek emptiness."

Yi Qi nodded: "Transfer the heavy karma, the throne, and the holy way that you carry to others, and let others complete the mission that was originally engraved in the long river of history on your behalf. And you can use this opportunity to escape and get away."

"That is, to do subtraction and seek emptiness."

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt that struck Yang Yun's mind, and many of the mysteries that he had been thinking about before now had a reason to explain. Whether it was the great cause and effect between Fuxi and Nuwa in the prehistoric period, which saved all things and people's lives and opened up a future for the human race, but there was no trace of it in the history of the prehistoric continent, only Chi You was struggling to find the truth, all of this seemed to have an answer...

"So, he abdicated the throne to Hou Tu, and entrusted all the authority that originally belonged to him, the responsibilities he once shouldered, and even the reincarnation cycle that he personally helped to create to Hou Tu, turning all of this into a heavy burden that Hou Tu had to bear alone."

Yi Qi continued, "From that moment on, the title of Emperor of the Earth no longer belonged to Nong, but became a symbol of Hou Tu. Hou Tu was Emperor of the Earth, and Emperor of the Earth was Hou Tu. Although there are still a few universes that retain the mark of 'Emperor of the Earth Shennong', in the vast majority of historical contexts, the two have long been integrated. Of course, Hou Tu was also willing."

"But this is not perfect. Hou Tu can only assume the status of the Emperor of Earth, and history still needs a 'Shennong' to walk the world, to taste all kinds of herbs, to save the people, and even to perform the crucial operation for Fuxi and Nuwa. More importantly, Hou Tu already has her own Tao at this time, and cannot be bound by the Tao of others like Fuxi. The holy Tao of Nong represents life. If it is taken away together, all living beings in the multiverse will be barren..."

"...So." Yang Yun opened his lips several times, but could not make any sound. In the end, he could only squeeze out numbers from between his teeth: "I, actually..."

"Don't worry, I said, we still have time."

Yi Qi raised his eyelids and looked at the two round fruits in the sky: "Before that, I will tell you a story."

“The story of a man who continues to move forward and wants to save the multiverse.”
