Begin the path of immortality from mortals

"Please enlighten me, fellow Taoist!"

Hearing Lu Tiandu asking about his various arrangements back then, which seemed to be related to the 'cause and effect' that Lu Tiandu had mentioned before, Gu Huojin roughly guessed that there might be some secrets that he didn't understand, so he looked at Lu Tiandu and asked.

"This time, Lu showed up to meet with you, in addition to your invitation last time, the most important thing is that Lu realized that he had benefited from you without knowing it, and there is already a lot of karma between us. Even if Lu doesn't show up this time, he will show up in the future to settle the karma between us."

"As for why Mr. Lu attaches so much importance to these 'cause and effect', it is because there is a law in the innate law called the 'law of cause and effect'. As long as we are not the Lord of Eternity, we are bound by this law."

"First of all, if a cultivator wants to comprehend the innate law, the important prerequisite is to resolve the cause and effect between him and this world and all living beings within it. Only in this way can he more easily touch the innate way."

"We exist within the heaven and earth, cultivating the way of immortality, receiving the blessings of the heaven and earth, and transcending step by step with the power of the heaven and earth. The relationship between us and this heaven and earth is like that of a mother and a child, and the cause and effect is huge. The cause and effect between us and the heaven and earth can be repaid and settled after we advance to the 'Lord of Creation', but the cause and effect between us and all living beings should be settled as early as possible."

"Furthermore, to comprehend the innate laws and condense the Dao Fruit, no matter whether one achieves the 'Lord of Creation' or the 'Lord of Eternity', one must face the three great Dao tribulations of heaven, earth, and man. With the addition of karma, it will be very difficult to face the three great Dao tribulations. Not to mention whether one can achieve transcendence, there is also the risk of death if one is not careful..."

"This is why all beings who want to advance to the Lord of Creation attach great importance to cause and effect."

"So there is such a trick. So, fellow Daoist once dealt with the evil spirits of heaven and earth in the human world and then arranged various opportunities in the lower world, just to settle the cause and effect between you and the heaven and earth and the cultivators in the human world?"

Gu Huojin seemed to remember something quickly and said.

"exactly."

Lu Tian nodded. "In addition to maintaining the order within the world, in order to repay the favor of the world, after advancing to the Lord of Creation, you can collect the power of origin from the Chaos Sea, strengthen the origin of the world, and transform it."

"As for the karma of all living beings, it is not only about shackles, but also about human calamities. The shackles need to be cut off. As for human calamities, I think fellow Taoists also understand what human calamities are. There is no need for me to explain how to resolve these karmas."

"I see."

Gu Huojin nodded.

He roughly understood that comprehending the innate laws and becoming the master of creation was equivalent to escaping from the acquired world. These causes and effects were the chains that imprisoned the cultivators and made it difficult for them to transcend. Some needed to be repaid, while others could only be cut off.

For example, Lu Tiandu had received his favor before, and if he wanted to transcend in the future, he would have to repay his favor. If he could not repay it, he would have to kill him completely to sever the cause and effect.

As the strongest person in this world, it would obviously be easier for him to settle the cause and effect by taking out something useful to him. This was also what Lu Tiandu meant when he said before that the two would eventually meet.

"I never thought that such an opportunity would come to me just from a thought like that!"

People in ancient and modern times sighed secretly.

If it weren't for the "auspicious sign" that Chen Tuan had calculated before, he probably wouldn't have thought of taking the initiative to establish a good relationship with Lu Tiandu.

Without all the good karma, there probably wouldn’t be anything like what we have today.

Perhaps only after Lu Tiandu advances to the Daluo realm can he learn the secret.

And if you want to exchange various cultivation secrets from Lu Tiandu at that time, the price you have now may not be able to repay it.

"When you asked me how to practice the innate law before, I did not answer directly, but first explained the cause and effect between us. These are the reasons."

At this time, Lu Tiandu looked at Gu Huojin again and said:

"I have already answered all the questions raised by Daoist Fellow Daoist earlier. I think I can repay Daoist Fellow Daoist Qing for all the opportunities he has given me."

"The following question from you involves a deeper secret. If I can answer it, the cause and effect between us will not only deepen, but I am afraid that you will owe me a favor!"

"Please ask fellow Taoist to clarify my doubts."

Gu Huojin said in a deep voice, "Gu is still confident that he can repay Daoyou's kindness. In addition, Gu's previous proposal of 'sincere cooperation and mutual benefit' is not false. As Daoyou said before, the forty-nine innate laws are enough for us to comprehend!"

"In that case, I will continue to help you solve your doubts!"

Lu Tiandu also said in a serious tone.

The two had no grudges in the past or present, and it was unlikely that there would be any major conflicts in the future. Once this decision was made, the connection between the two was strengthened a lot due to the interweaving of cause and effect.

"If you want to comprehend the innate laws, you naturally need to know what these forty-nine innate laws are..."

Lu Tiandu then introduced the names of the forty-nine laws derived from the innate.

In addition to the five supreme laws of "chaos, infinity, creation, destiny, and destruction", Lu Tian also talked about the other forty-four innate laws one by one.

The forty-four innate laws are:

Chaos, order, Taiyi, Taichu, Taishi, Taisu, Taiji, creation, merit, hidden virtue, blessing, morality, fate, luck, end of luck, disaster, cause and effect, yin and yang, origin, end, extinction, disaster, law, spirit, clear, turbid, empty, real, nothing, existence, birth, death, blessing, disaster, misfortune, longevity, movement, silence, one, many, true, false, smooth, rough.

"The five supreme laws have no trace after the creation of the universe, and cannot be comprehended directly. They can only be traced back through other innate laws. But why do some of the other 44 innate laws seem to be somewhat similar to some acquired laws?"

After listening to Lu Tiandu's explanation, Gu Huojin pondered for a moment and asked.

In Lu Tiandu's explanation just now, he seemed to understand the connotations of some of the laws, but some of them were easy to understand when combined with the acquired laws, such as order, chaos, yin and yang, extinction, life, death, disaster, and misfortune, etc.

"Isn't this the wonder of creation?"

Lu Tiandu smiled slightly and said, "If everything is really as unspeakable, unobservable, and mysterious as the five supreme laws, how can we achieve transcendence?"

"Although some innate laws are hidden and elusive after the birth of the world, they also have certain traces in the acquired world. Although these traces exist in the acquired form, as long as there is a chance, it is not impossible for a trace of innate origin to be born. Do you understand, fellow Daoist?"

What Lu Tian did not say explicitly was that the innate Yin and Yang law that was currently being nurtured in his body was also derived from the reverse of the acquired Yin and Yang forces.

Although they are both yin and yang, the difference between innate and acquired is as terribly different as a world of difference.

In fact, all innate laws are in a certain "virtual" state, but those laws that can be found in certain "concrete" things in the acquired world are relatively easier to comprehend, such as creation, yin and yang, and law.

"I see."

Gu Huojin nodded, thought for a while, and asked again:
"If Gu uses the power of the law of time to trace the source, does Daoist have any suggestions?"

"There are many choices for the innate source of the law of time, such as the directly related Five Great Laws. In addition, the innate laws of law, order, and reverse are also possible. It depends on the opportunity of fellow Taoists at that time."

Lu Tiandu said.

The three supreme laws of time, space and reincarnation are far ahead of many other acquired laws because if they trace their origins, they actually have multiple innate laws to be comprehended, and most of them can eventually lead to the Lord of Eternity.

For example, the Five Tai Laws are closely related to the "infinity" in the Supreme Law, while the two major innate laws of compliance and opposition are respectively related to "creation" and "destruction", and all of them have the opportunity to reach the eternal realm in the future.

In addition to the law of time, the two major laws of space and reincarnation, in addition to the directly related innate laws, can also be traced back to the two major innate laws of "forward" and "reverse".

And if multiple people want to condense the Tao fruit with the two innate laws of "following" and "going against", then they will inevitably have to engage in a "Tao fight" before condensing the Tao fruit. The origin of the law of the loser will be swallowed up by the winner, thus making the origin of the law "perfect" and finally condensing the Tao fruit.

Once this innate law is condensed into Dao Fruit, no one will be able to comprehend this innate law unless the Lord of Creation gives up the Dao Fruit.

Although the acquired laws have the original law ancestor as the leader, no matter it is the lower law ancestor or other practitioners, they can still continue to comprehend this law. This is the "uniqueness" of the innate law compared to the acquired law.

The two talked for a while, and Gu Huojin suddenly asked:

"Since fellow Daoist said that Heavenly Dao is also a half-step Creator, and is born with the law of 'creation', I wonder if there is a way to devour it and obtain this law?"

“Although the Heavenly Dao is only acting on instinct and has not condensed the laws of creation into Dao Fruit, it is impossible to devour the innate laws with the acquired laws.”

Lu Tiandu shook his head. "Besides, although he was born with the law of creation, he also controls part of the law of catastrophe. How can he be so easily swallowed and overturned?"

"Do you have any advice, fellow Daoist?"

Gu Huojin's eyes flickered and he asked again.

Although the Heavenly Dao has bestowed the supreme status on a group of Dao Ancestors, it is also assimilating Dao Ancestors all the time. The lifelong ambition of him and his predecessor is to transcend the constraints and erosion of the Heavenly Dao. If he can devour the Heavenly Dao, not only can he achieve this long-cherished wish, but he can also directly obtain an innate law. The temptation is really too great.

Moreover, although he learned all kinds of transcendent secrets from Lu Tiandu, he had no idea how to use his own time law to comprehend the innate law.

Although he temporarily gave up the plan to continue seeking transcendence with the Three Thousand Dao Divine Array, since the Three Thousand Dao Divine Array in his hands could reverse chaos in his imagination, it should be somewhat effective if used to refine the Heavenly Dao and devour its innate laws.

Although he had this idea, he did not have much confidence, and he needed Lu Tiandu's help.

"The Heavenly Dao is still very strong. If you want to try to devour it, you must first weaken it. For example, first deprive it of some of the laws of 'calamity' that it controls."

Lu Tiandu pondered for a moment and said, "As for the law of creation, we can also start by comprehending this law, dividing its origin, seizing its authority, slowly weakening it, and finally swallowing it up with the law of creation."

The law of catastrophe represents the origin of all catastrophes. No matter whether it is the acquired catastrophes of heaven, earth, or man, or all kinds of catastrophes in the void, they are all closely related to it.

The Heavenly Dao can suppress a group of Dao ancestors and countless cultivators, and the Law of Tribulation is its most powerful means.

As long as one can deprive it of some of the origin of the law of calamity, it would be almost equivalent to cutting off one of its arms.

As for the laws of creation that he was born with, he can only let the cultivators who have also comprehended the laws of creation slowly plan through the subsequent "Dao Dispute", otherwise it will be impossible to plan.

"In that case, why don't you and I join forces to plot the way of heaven?"

Gu Huojin's huge dragon eyes shone brightly as he looked at Lu Tiandu, "Gu is here to comprehend the laws of creation, and fellow Daoist is responsible for the laws of catastrophe. How about that?"

"Yes. These two innate laws have 'concrete' objects in the acquired world. They are relatively easy to comprehend, and they can also lead to the Lord of Eternity!"

Lu Tian nodded. The Heavenly Dao would also be a great enemy for him in the future when he would devour this world. Now that Gu Huojin mentioned it, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

"But this matter can only be carried out in secret. After all, even I am not sure whether the Heavenly Dao has given birth to its own will. Do you understand, fellow Daoist?"

"it is good."

Gu Huojin looked thoughtful, nodded, and looked at Lu Tiandu again, "If I want to comprehend the innate law, will this position of Dao Ancestor have any impact?"

"After all, I have never achieved Daozu by using any of the three thousand laws of heaven, and I don't know much about this status bestowed by heaven, so I am afraid I can't give you any good advice."

Lu Tiandu thought about it and said, "However, for a being like you, giving up the position of Daoist Ancestor will not have any impact on yourself. Moreover, with your strength, it should not be difficult for you to achieve the position of Daoist Ancestor again..."

"If you comprehend other innate laws, I might suggest giving up the position of Daozu. But since you want to plot the law of 'creation', maybe you don't have to give it up. What do you think?"

"Let Gu test it first and see what the result is!"

Gu Huojin nodded slightly, "One last question, does the Heavenly Holding Bottle have any other secrets? Can you explain it to me?"

"As far as Lu knows, there are indeed some secret ones."

Since they are allies now, and there is still room for ancient or modern power to be relied upon in the fairyland, Lu Tian naturally doesn't mind answering this question to a limited extent.

After briefly talking about the three masters of the Heavenly Bottle, Lu Tiandu continued:

"I think that Brother Gu has learned some information about the Heavenly Palm Bottle over the years. On the surface, this item is a treasure of the Law of Time, but in fact, it contains a microcosm of the three thousand laws of the Heavenly Dao."

"So, fellow Daoist, do you understand who this Xuantian treasure is closely related to?"

"Heavenly Dao!"

The tone is inexplicable, whether ancient or modern.

"That's right. Moreover, there is the mysterious avenue of 'fate' in the innate laws, as well as destiny, luck and other innate laws. Naturally, there will be such 'manifestations' in the acquired world. Whether it is Han Li who once practiced the law of time, or Li Yuanjiu who came later, or the Han Li who appeared in this timeline, the three people who hold the Heavenly Bottle are actually 'sons of luck' to some extent..."

"They actually all have some great opportunity to become the Lord of Fortune. Unfortunately, from the future that Lu has seen, none of them can reach that step!"

"The way of heaven?"

Gu Huojin's expression froze, "Could it be that his will has already been born?"

"I am not sure about this matter either, so it is better to stay still before the situation becomes clear. What do you think, fellow Taoist?"

Lu Tiandu looked at Gu Huojin.

"Gu understands!"

Gu Huojin nodded.

In fact, before this, he was planning to take the Palm of Heaven Bottle from Han Li after meeting Lu Tiandu this time.

But since Lu Tian said so, this item has some connection with the Heavenly Dao, and also involves Han Li, the son of luck of this generation. Before he is sure about the state of the Heavenly Dao at this moment, he naturally would not alarm the enemy for a treasure and cause more variables.

And as long as he is willing, Han Li will still be in his sight.

"Now that you and I are in alliance, why don't you follow me to the Heavenly Palace and conspire for the Great Dao together?"

Gu Huojin finally invited Dao.

"There is no rush for this matter. When I reach the immortal world, I will visit fellow Taoists in heaven."

Lu Tiandu shook his head, "Before that, I have some plans of my own."

"In this case, I will not force you. Fellow Daoist Chen and I will wait for good news from you in the Heavenly Palace!"

Gu Huojin nodded, not too surprised by Lu Tiandu's refusal.

After the two exchanged a few more words, the three-headed dragon's eyes dimmed, and the power of the law of time that enveloped the hall slowly dissipated... (End of this chapter)
