Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 302 The "One" of the Great Dao: From Three Begins All Things
Half a month later, with Lin Fan's personal guidance, Yuechan explored a path and decided to use immortal blood to cultivate a second immortal aura.

In fact, this was a method that Lin Fan had long suspected, and there were similar successful cases.

In some ancient books, people have tried to fuse immortal blood or immortal bones to cultivate immortal energy.

Furthermore, this method is equivalent to fusing a Dao seed, such as Ning Chuan, the sixth son of Xiao Liu, a few years later, with the True Immortal Hand Bone.

Of course, the risks involved are considerable. First, one must be able to withstand the power of immortal blood; otherwise, one will explode before the immortal energy is even released.

Fortunately, Lin Fan possesses the bone cauldron from Stone Village. With this baptism, he can eliminate the calamity and greatly increase his chances of success.

"Now it's up to her..." Lin Fan stood guard outside, just in case something unexpected happened.

However, in the end, he wasn't entirely sure whether Yuechan could cultivate a second strand of immortal energy; he had only given her a direction.

After all, in the path of cultivation, there are some things that only the individual can experience; no one can do it for them, and their path cannot be replicated.

"It's time for me to truly embark on my own path, clarify my goals, and focus on one path, one way," Lin Fan muttered to himself, reaffirming his resolve.

In fact, on this path, he has always had a very clear goal: enlightenment—life and death!
In the past, he always believed that life is life and death is death, and that the two are mutually opposed, like the moon and the sun, polarized.

Later, through his reflections, he discovered that sometimes life can be death, and death can be life.

When everything reaches its extreme, it begins to decline and move in another direction; the same is true for the universe.

It's like a cycle of reincarnation, a constant alternation between life and death, with no real dividing line between them. Instead, life embraces death, and death embraces life.

Therefore, he grasped the essence of Tai Chi.

Birth and death can both be the beginning and the end, connected together to form a "loop" without beginning or end, without birth or death.

This also made him realize that, apart from life and death, there are processes, such as the great principles of time and space, between any point on the "ring".

Simply put, it's like a living being from birth to death, with its growth experience encompassed in between.

Now, looking back, Lin Fan has a different understanding: life is life, and death is death.

It can also be said that life and death are the "one" of this great Dao, from which one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things.

The process on this "loop," or anything else, did not originally exist; it evolved from life and death.

"When you look at a mountain, it is a mountain; when you look at water, it is water. When you look at a mountain, it is not a mountain; when you look at water, it is not water. When you look at a mountain, it is still a mountain; when you look at water, it is still water."

"It turns out that our ancestors in my previous life had already realized these three realms and passed them down, but I have only just come to understand them now," Lin Fan sighed.

He sat cross-legged outside the cave, feeling a sudden enlightenment, having reached the third level of enlightenment. His eyes were clear and his spirit was high.

At that moment, he took action, runes intertwining, activating his innate divine arts, and combining them with the artistic conception he had comprehended.

Suddenly, the clear sky changed color, a gale howled, dark clouds gathered, and with a crack, a bolt of lightning flashed and thunder roared.

"With a single thought, grass and trees spring forth!" Lin Fan uttered, his words like the heavenly voice of the Great Dao, seemingly drawing upon some kind of power of rules.

The next moment, grass sprouted around him, some green, some golden, and some purple, each with a different shape.

Not only that, but one after another, large trees sprouted from the earth and quickly grew into towering ancient trees, with a wide variety of species.

However, this is not real grass or trees, but rather the product of life and death.

"A single thought can create a mountain!" Lin Fan spoke again.

Suddenly, the world around them changed in an instant. Towering mountains stood on the flat ground, and there was more than one.

From a distance, one can see that there are still plants on the cliff. Wisteria sway in the wind, and various flowers sprout from the cracks in the rocks, lush and verdant, which is extremely amazing!
"With a single thought, rivers and lakes will appear!" Lin Fan uttered the heavenly voice. As soon as he finished speaking, the laws of the mountains descended, transforming into a lake and several great rivers. The water was crystal clear, and golden lotuses grew out, shimmering and sparkling.

The scene was spectacular and incredible, because Lin Fan's words were law, capable of creating all things.

Subsequently, all the vegetation withered, the lakes dried up, and the mountains became dilapidated and lifeless.

Soon, it flourished again, full of vitality, repeating this cycle as if it were constantly experiencing life and death, just like the vast universe.

However, the creator and god of this world is Lin Fan, who created the world and controls the life and death of all things.

"A single thought can create a vast ocean!"

Finally, the vegetation and mountains disappeared, replaced by an endless blue sea, shimmering with light and surging waves.

Rather than saying that the plants, trees, mountains and rivers disappeared, it is more accurate to say that the passage of time caused the once vast land to be submerged by the ocean.

"A single thought can transform into a galaxy!"

Next, the sky changed, as if another layer of heaven had appeared, with one large star after another shining brightly, densely packed like rain, extremely dazzling.

By this time, the world around Lin Fan was becoming increasingly vast and perfect, with the four seasons changing: spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

Most astonishingly, fragments of time were flying around, space was distorting, divine fire was burning... all the myriad paths of the heavens appeared together.

This is beyond imagination, unbelievable!

Similarly, this is the transformation of life and death, evolving from one to give birth to all things, constructing a colorful world.

Moreover, it was all accomplished by Lin Fan with a single thought, controlling everything. This kind of insight and this kind of method are terrifying!
Having cultivated to this level, he has achieved an extremely high level of accomplishment in the realm of life and death, even behaving in a manner unbecoming of a true god.

At this moment, Lin Fan was glowing, radiating an aura of immortality, as if he had existed since time immemorial and was eternally indestructible.

His flesh and blood, in particular, were translucent and radiant, like jade, and his long hair was crystal clear, dyed with a layer of gold, making him incomparably sacred.

This is because he is getting stronger and breaking through, and his aura is constantly soaring and rising, rapidly becoming sharper.

"The late stage of the True One Realm is not far from perfection!" Lin Fan's gaze was deep, and he was slightly excited.

In such a short time, his cultivation level has improved again. This speed of cultivation is truly frightening and makes a group of people feel ashamed.

However, it's understandable. He was so well-prepared, had such a deep foundation, and had unlocked so much potential that it would be difficult for him not to become stronger quickly.

"However, this is still a bit too fast. The Saint Wood is not ready to advance to the next realm yet. We will have to search for it after we go out."

Lin Fan stood up, and all the strange phenomena disappeared. The surrounding world returned to clarity, and it was still the place of reincarnation.

Behind him was Yuechan's secluded cultivation ground, unaffected by anything, and only a little over a month had passed.

"In order to find the most perfect path, that step must be taken, but where should we look for the sage tree?"

Lin Fan muttered to himself that ever since he was born, he had been breaking through the limits of his realm, which was why he was advancing so rapidly and was invincible among those in the same realm.

However, the Sage Tree is extremely rare and is considered a rare treasure, generally growing in ancient immortal ruins rich in spiritual energy.

Ordinary people would hardly ever see it, and it cannot be transplanted. Since there is none in the Land of Reincarnation, Lin Fan had no choice but to search elsewhere.

"Go out and inquire, see where there is any news about the Sage Tree." He turned his head to glance at the cave, left his spiritual body behind, and rushed into the distance with his real body.
