Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 295 Cultivation is a Circle

The moment he grasped the Chaos Origin Cause and Effect Dao, all the confusion in Huyan Bo's heart dissipated, and he finally understood what this so-called Qiankun Land was.

It's a book that came with me from Earth!

An ancient book that I always carry with me, a companion to me.

When this book traveled through time and collided with the Hunyuan space, it became deeply bound to the entire Hunyuan's rules and structure, transforming into the origin of the Qiankun Land.

It can capture the Daoist trajectory and causal entanglements of each entrant, deduce the shortcomings and opportunities on the path, and reflect the breakthrough direction most desired by the practitioner.

To put it simply, it's like a "mirror of the path," clearly displaying the hidden potential and unexplored paths of a practitioner. This is why everyone can glimpse the truth of their own future within it.

Hu Yanbo closed his eyes, and the scene of his time travel reappeared clearly: at that time, he was still Xiao Feng, and he accidentally broke through the spatial barrier with this book. In the process, he lost control and the book crashed into the rule barrier of the Hunyuan Space, creating the crack that is still difficult to heal.

As for himself, he took the core of this book, the pre-funded panel, and completely merged with Hu Yanbo's physical body, thus taking root and cultivating in the Hunyuan Space as "Hu Yanbo".

Over the years, with each increase in my own strength, the essence of the Book of Heaven and Earth has become more refined, and its power has surged accordingly.

And it is constantly drawn to itself, increasingly yearning to completely break free from the shackles of chaos and squeeze entirely into this primordial space. It is precisely because of this that it continues to expand as it improves, squeezing the rule barriers of the primordial space and indirectly promoting the continued spread of that crack. This is the core causal loop between its own strength and the expansion of the crack.

It was precisely by understanding this vast causal relationship that spanned himself, the Book of Heaven and Earth, and the Chaos Origin Space that Huyan Bocai was able to perceive the ultimate essence of cultivation.

Cultivation is a long line that runs through the primordial chaos. The evolution of laws, the transformation of divine bodies, and the advancement of the Great Dao of all living beings all proceed along this single path.

This long line of life has two poles: one end is the mundane limitation bound by time and rules, and the other end is the primordial immortality that transcends the shackles and is eternal.

Throughout history, countless powerful individuals have been able to explore this path alone, with causes but no results, and the road ahead is difficult to complete, always trapped in a one-way cultivation trajectory.

The final step for the ultimate life form is to complete the beginning and the end, thus creating a grand closed loop.

This is precisely the fundamental reason why Xingmang was able to glimpse the origin of the unity of space and time when he first stepped into the Qiankun Land.

The Book of Heaven and Earth is itself a carrier of the truth of the closed loop. It can accurately reflect the ultimate cultivation direction of each person who enters it, and the foundation of the Great Dao of Starlight is the two paths of time and space.

Xingmang has devoted his life to cultivating the two great paths of time and space. Although he can manipulate time and space at will, he has never been able to break through the barrier between the two primordial great paths and has never been able to twist this long line of time and space cultivation into a perfect closed loop.

Until he stepped into the land of Qiankun, the closed-loop Dao contained in the book resonated strongly with his own spacetime Dao, directly reflecting his core closed-loop form.

It is not a simple fusion of time and space, but a complete elimination of the barriers between the originally separate origins of time and space, bringing them together into a single point that carries infinite possibilities.

That origin point is the prototype of the closed loop of the Great Dao of Starlight, connecting the beginning and end of his long line of cultivation of the Dao of Time and Space, making time and space no longer merged, but a unified origin.

It was precisely because they glimpsed the nascent form of this closed loop that Starlight was able to make such astonishing deductions.

Once he controls this origin of spacetime, it will be the time when his own closed loop is complete. At that time, he will control the foundation of spacetime, rewind the past, and...

Seeing the future and influencing cause and effect can be done at will. The so-called "creating a lord with a single thought" is essentially the natural manifestation of the Great Dao's authority after his closed loop is perfected.

When Hu Yanbo and the other lords first heard this, they thought it was absurd, because at that time they had not yet grasped the true meaning of the closed loop and did not understand that the origin seen by the starlight was the inevitable path of the ultimate life form.

At this moment, with his understanding of the closed loop of cause and effect, Hu Yanbo finally realized that the unity of space and time seen by the starlight was never just a figment of imagination, but the ultimate closed loop form that the Book of Heaven and Earth reflected for him.

Of course, this is precisely because Xingmang stands high enough—he is only one step away from closing the loop, which is why the Book of Heaven and Earth directly reflects his ultimate closed loop form.

If Yuan were to step into it, what would be reflected would be the scene of all paths merging into one. The Hunyuan rules he cultivated operated the Great Dao, mixing various paths, but he was unable to completely incorporate the scattered paths into it. Therefore, only by incorporating them into it first could there be a possibility of subsequent connection, unification, and a closed loop.

As for the other lords, their cultivation focuses on different aspects, but none of them have reached the threshold of the closed loop. Therefore, what the Book of Heaven and Earth reflects for them is not a complete prototype of the closed loop, but rather the "missing end" in their respective long cultivation paths.

They need to find this end, connecting the beginning and end of their own long path, in order to take the first step out of the closed loop and move towards the ultimate life form.

As for those progenitors, even the strongest Sand Boat has not yet truly mastered the complete Chaos Origin Great Dao and is still exploring and refining it.

Therefore, when she stepped into the Qiankun Land, what the Qiankun Land reflected was not some closed-loop phantom, but rather the path of destruction that she was most familiar with and most skilled at.

Only by first mastering the Chaotic Origin Destruction Dao and solidifying one end of the long path of cultivation can one be qualified to explore the other end and discuss the closed loop and the ultimate leap.

Ultimately, the Book of Heaven and Earth never bestows opportunities out of thin air, nor does it reflect falsehoods. Everything it reveals is the cultivation path that each person entering at that moment needs most and is most in line with. The higher the level, the closer the reflected scene is to the ultimate. This is the most mysterious aspect of it as a "carrier of the Dao" that has traveled through time.

"Even the most powerful stars, who have reached their current pinnacle and can rely on the land of heaven and earth to glimpse the ultimate leap and possess the most perfect path guidance, would likely need to spend endless years to truly take that step and forge a closed loop of space and time, and they might not even be able to achieve their goal," Hu Yanbo pondered to himself.

The two Chaotic Origin Spacetime Great Daos under Xingmangyi's control are one that prioritizes time and uses space as a secondary element, and the other that prioritizes space and uses time as a secondary element.

However, completely dissolving the boundaries between the two independent Hunyuan Avenues, intertwining them, and forming a complete closed loop is still an extremely difficult task.

It should be known that in the vast and infinite Hunyuan Space, only eight lords are capable of independently cultivating and firmly wielding a complete Hunyuan Great Dao.

Not to mention forcibly merging the two Hunyuan Avenues again.

This is the kind of road.....

It seems that, apart from myself, no one else will be able to achieve this in the future!
