Daxuan Wusheng: Start by practicing and adding points

Chapter 734 Integration Rules
"Fellow Daoist Yuanshi must have spent a lot of time and effort to build this eternal boat."

In the vast glow of rosy clouds, Chen Mu calmly walked on the long bridge of rosy clouds and boarded the Eternal Ship step by step. At the same time, he cast his eyes over the entire ship. With just a few simple glances, he was able to analyze many of the structures of the Eternal Ship.

The Eternal Boat was apparently made of two Hunyuan artifacts, but after Chen Mu boarded the boat, he could clearly sense that it consumed more than two Hunyuan artifacts.

Or,

The hull of the Eternal Ship was indeed forged with two Hunyuan artifacts as the core, but after the Eternal Ship was forged, the Yuanshi Palace Master continued to collect more Hunyuan artifacts. These other Hunyuan artifacts were all forged by the Yuanshi Palace Master into accessories for the Eternal Ship, nested together like an array structure.

The Eternal Boat, a supreme treasure of Hunyuan, which is formed by the gathering of a large number of Hunyuan rare objects, can be said to be a combination of offensive and defensive formations, palaces and the void. It has become a world of its own, and its interior itself is breeding a unique heaven and earth.

"It has been accumulated bit by bit over a long period of reincarnation."

Upon hearing Chen Mu's praise, Yuanshi Palace Master shook his head and sighed, "Although this boat contains some power, it is ultimately just an external object. I want to explore the way to transcendence from it, but I still can't reach it."

Chen Mu nodded slightly.

When he reached the realm of Yuanshi Palace Master, the Hunyuan supreme treasure he forged with his own hands also contained his will and the path he took. This Eternal Boat was the embodiment of his path.

The Lord of Yuanshi Palace wanted to analyze the power of Hunyuan bit by bit through the method of stacking, and analyze the various complicated integration methods of the three original great ways, piling them up like casting a high tower, and finally climbing to the sky and touching the supreme dome.

The gods in the universe actually take the path to immortality like this, accumulating step by step until they become gods, and then climbing the path to becoming great masters of the Great Dao. It can only be said that this method of focusing on accumulation and consolidating the foundation step by step is not wrong, but when it comes to transcendence, it is no longer applicable.

Chen Mu firmly believed in the path he was taking and had absolute trust in the path guided by the system panel.

Based on this,
He then observed the path taken by the Lord of Yuanshi Palace and gained more insights that confirmed his own ideas.

Although after a long period of time and hundreds of reincarnations of the universe, the Lord of Yuanshi Palace has accumulated a lot of wealth, and this boat of creation contains countless complicated means of integrating the great ways and carries countless unique powers of the primordial source.

But even with such accumulation, it is still meaningless in the face of transcendence, because Chen Mu did not feel the slightest hint of "transcendence" from the Boat of Creation. Even if it contained more Hunyuan power, it was always only in the category of the Great Dao Master and could not reach the realm of transcendence.

Obviously,

This further proves his philosophy.

To reach transcendence, accumulation is meaningless. No matter how much you accumulate, you cannot narrow the distance to transcendence. The state of transcendence is unimaginable and incomprehensible, so its essence represents infinity.

It is obviously impossible to reach infinity with limited accumulation.

“The state of transcendence is infinite and endless, nothing is not empty, nothing is not existent.”

Chen Mu boarded the Ship of Creation and came to the front of the Master of Yuanshi Palace. He shook his head and said, "Using 'having' to touch 'nothing', using accumulation to touch transcendence. The more you have, the further away you are from the Tao."

His words were very straightforward, clarifying his own will and the path he was taking.

When reaching the realm of the Supreme Lord, the path that each person takes has basically been clearly demonstrated, and it does not even need to be explained in words. Chen Mu does not need to "discuss", because the Lord of Yuanshi Palace is actually clear about the path that Chen Mu has in mind.

Actually,
At this point, no one will hide their own path anymore, because everyone's path is almost always different and unique to each person. To achieve the existence of the Supreme Being, whose will would be weak?

No one would think that the path they are taking is wrong. Everyone who has come here will not question their own will, question the path they are taking, nor will they change the path they are pursuing. The most they can do is to gain some insights from the paths shown by others and use this to improve and supplement the shortcomings of their own path.

After hearing Chen Mu's words, the Master of Yuanshi Palace shook his head slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Chen is right. Transcendence is indeed the ultimate, it is endless, infinite, and limitless... No matter how many ways there are in the world, one cannot reach transcendence. But if there are no infinite ways in this world, how can one peek into the door to transcendence?"

"A fish leaps over the dragon gate, and ascends to heaven. In the end, there must be a 'Tao' to be gained."

"The mystery of the way to transcendence is hidden in the supreme rules of the reincarnation of the universe, and the embodiment of the supreme rules is the birth and death of the universe again and again. When the universe is born and destroyed to the extreme, and the universe is evolved completely, the shackles will be broken, and the cage will be jumped out. Then, you will definitely be able to take the step of transcendence."

After the Yuanshi Palace Master finished speaking, he waved his sleeves lightly.

In an instant,
A brilliant glow of light appeared on the Eternal Boat.

Looking through the rosy glow, one could clearly see that inside the Eternal Boat, there was a vast and magnificent universe. This universe was so huge and vast, even more massive and perfect than what Chen Mu had vaguely glimpsed before. It was almost close to the starry universe opened up by the supreme rules.

Chen Mu could even clearly see that within this universe, there were countless magnificent worlds, continents that seemed like primitive times, and countless creatures were bred in them, competing with each other.

The Lord of Yuanshi Palace opened up that universe, in which he was the creator of the world, and was revered by the world as Yuanshi Tianwang.

"Little flood."

Chen Mu gazed at the universe and murmured thoughtfully in his heart.

This vast universe, opened up by the Lord of Yuanshi Palace and constructed based on the Boat of Creation, had a sense of vastness and wilderness in his sight.

On the surface, the path of Yuanshi Palace Master is to comprehend the path to transcendence through accumulation, but in fact, Yuanshi Palace Master's path is broader than that. What he has to do is to exhaust his accumulation and use his own strength to open up a complete universe!
The mystery of transcendence lies in the supreme rules.

Under the operation of the supreme rules, what is displayed is the birth and death of the universe again and again.

If one could use one's own power to open up a truly perfect starry universe that was completely consistent with the external universe opened up by the long river of origin controlled by the supreme rules, then one would surely be able to achieve transcendence!
This is the path that Yuanshi Palace Master pursues!

"pity."

But at this moment, looking at that world, Chen Mu still sighed softly in his heart.

He could vaguely judge that there was nothing wrong with the pursuit of the Lord of Yuanshi Palace. If he could really use his own strength to open up a universe that was completely identical to the outside world, he would indeed be able to understand the great way and achieve transcendence on the spot.

But the problem is that it is too difficult to achieve this step. Just relying on observing the birth and death of the universe, observing the evolution of the power of the primordial source, and collecting the primordial source wonders... It is not enough to rely on these, and it is not enough to open up a perfect universe. Only by integrating into the avenue, becoming the avenue, and personally experiencing the operation of the universe, the evolution of the avenue, and the supreme rules, can one succeed. If he does this, he will return to the starting point of his journey.

"If we can create a perfect universe, we will be able to transcend immediately."

This time, Chen Mu did not refute the idea of ​​Yuanshi Palace Master, but nodded to the second half of it to show his agreement.

After hearing what Chen Mu said, the Lord of Yuanshi Palace also smiled slightly. He was not surprised by Chen Mu's reaction. Every supreme master has his own path. When he discussed with Lord Hunyuan, Lord of Time and Space Island and others, everyone had the same opinion on his desire to open up the universe and establish his own supreme rules. They all believed that if he could do it, he would definitely transcend.

"Since I attained enlightenment, I have witnessed a long cycle of reincarnations, experienced the birth and death of the universe one hundred and twenty-seven times, and seen countless roads. I have also seen the path that Daoist Chen is taking, but Daoist Chen is the only one who has been able to reach his level in these one hundred and twenty-seven cycles of birth and death."

The Master of Yuanshi Palace stared at Chen Mu and spoke slowly at this time.

The universe was born and destroyed one hundred and twenty-seven times, and each time it was born and destroyed, at least hundreds of Great Dao Venerables were born. That is to say, the number of Venerable-level beings he had experienced and witnessed exceeded tens of thousands.

There are so many great Dao masters, each with his own path. Among them, there are of course some like Chen Mu, who pursue the path of 'doing nothing and yet doing something'. However, the vast majority of them cannot even fully master the three great Daos of creation, void, and time. Even those who have mastered the three great Daos eventually stop there. No one can glimpse the essence of the fusion of the great Daos and reach the level of the Supreme Master.

There is only Chen Mu, the only one since the 127 births and deaths of the universe.

"I agree with some of what you are doing. If you don't take small steps, you won't reach a thousand miles. Before you fully master the three fundamental principles, you should accumulate as much as you can until you achieve enlightenment."

“Only when one has thoroughly comprehended the three great ways, exhausted the universe, and has learned nothing more and understood nothing more, can one pursue the pursuit of doing without doing, being empty without having anything, and finally transcending.”

Chen Mu looked towards the Yuanshi Palace Master and spoke in a calm tone.

Before him, no one had the same talent and qualifications as him, so naturally no one could reach his level. Similarly, before him, no one had received the guidance of the system panel, a transcendent treasure, and no one could be as clear about their own path as he was.

“To do nothing and yet to act, to be empty without anything… I’m afraid it’s too difficult.”

The Yuanshi Palace Master shook his head and said.

He sought accumulation, enlightenment, and the source of everything. At least he was following a substantial path. However, the path that Chen Mu pursued was fundamentally illusory and only relied on the so-called mysterious nature, which he thought was even more unrealistic.

"It's really difficult."

Chen Mu also nodded slightly at this time and said: "Therefore, if you want to do nothing, you should be as kind as water and follow the rules."

After hearing this, Yuanshi Palace Master was stunned for a moment, stared at Chen Mu and asked, "Fellow Daoist Chen, do you know how dangerous this trip is?"

He is the Supreme Lord. Just by listening to Chen Mu's words, he knew what path Chen Mu was going to take. For a moment, he was amazed and surprised. Looking at all the great Lords in this world, who doesn't want to maintain his eternal self in the birth and death of the universe?
Who doesn't try their best to resist the erosion of the Great Dao of Origin and avoid being assimilated by the rules of the Great Dao?

But Chen Mu actually wanted to take the initiative to integrate into the supreme rules and follow the operation of the Great Dao. Even if Chen Mu's realm had already reached the Supreme Venerable, he would definitely not be able to sustain such active integration for long. I am afraid that in just one time of the birth and death of the universe, the erosion of the Great Dao he endured would surpass the effect of hundreds of births and deaths of the universe!

Originally, he could have at least stood on the long river of origin for more than a hundred reincarnations, but if he did so, his existence time would be greatly shortened, and it might even be shortened to less than two reincarnations, which is even shorter than those of the most ordinary Dao Masters of the same era!
"If you can't transcend, what's the difference between the universe's reincarnation a hundred times and the universe's birth and death once?"

Chen Mu spoke in a calm tone.

The Lord of Yuanshi Palace stared at Chen Mu deeply. He knew that every one of the beings who could reach his level was a peerless creature that could only be born after many reincarnations of the universe. Even the destruction of the universe could not take away their will.

Once a decision is made, it will naturally not be changed.

Seeing Chen Mu's calm and peaceful attitude towards such a dangerous matter, the Lord of Yuanshi Palace sighed in his heart. Regardless of whether Chen Mu could successfully transcend, at least his heart of seeking the truth had transcended the material world and the universe.

……

In the eternal boat,
In a palace.

Chen Mu and the Master of Yuanshi Palace sat opposite each other.

Chen Mu held a teacup in his hand, which contained a cup of golden spiritual tea. He sipped it gently, then put the cup down, stood up and said, "I have benefited a lot from discussing Taoism with Taoist Yuanshi. It is time for me to take my leave."

The Master of Yuanshi Palace stood up and sent Chen Mu to the bow of the boat.

Chen Mu stood at the bow of the Eternal Ship, gazing into the distance at the starry sky that was gradually opening up. The scenes of all things in the universe were reflected in his eyes. He saw that life had already begun to be born on many stars.

He also saw some gods who were protected by the venerables, coming to this new world, exploring and traveling here, seeking their own opportunities.

He also saw many great Dao masters observing this newly opened world and gaining insights into the Dao from it.

He finally looked at the Tianzun Temple that he had set up on the Origin Star, as well as the figures of Chen Yue, Chen Yao and others. After taking it all in, the light in Chen Mu's eyes gradually faded and turned into a dark and deep pool.

"Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, there is no need to see me off."

Chen Mu looked at the Yuanshi Palace Master standing beside him and nodded slightly at him.

After the voice fell,
hum!
Silently, Chen Mu's figure turned into a dream bubble and disappeared bit by bit.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Chen Mu just used some skills to leave the Eternal Boat, but in the eyes of the Lord of Yuanshi Palace, he clearly saw that Chen Mu's ego will quietly faded, and the whole person jumped into the long river of origin in an instant.

Originally, those who have cultivated to become great Dao masters, whose true will has manifested into life stars, are already able to float above the long river of origin. They can actively resist the long river of origin and the supreme rules, and will not be drifted by the long river.

but now,
Chen Mu dispersed that power and no longer resisted the long river of origin or the supreme rules. He actively merged into the rules.
