Fellow Taoists, please respect yourself.

Chapter 431: Following the Way of Heaven
The way of cultivation is to follow the will of heaven, embody the way of heaven, draw the power of heaven and earth into your body, create your own small world, and interact with the natural world.

In this way, one can accomplish all kinds of incredible things, which are the so-called magic and supernatural powers.

But magic, supernatural powers, indestructible body, all extraordinary things are just by-products on the road of seeking.

On the path of seeking the truth, there are often several stages.

Cultivating oneself, the body, soul, dantian, etc., this is the initial stage of practice, creating one's own small world.

And when one's own small world has been cultivated to a certain limit, one will reach the fairyland.

The fairyland is not just limited to one's own small world, but begins to expand to the stage of understanding the world.

When the connection between your own small world and the vast universe becomes increasingly close, you will begin to understand the changes in the nature of heaven and earth.

Change and reincarnation are the unchanging themes of spiritual practice.

And all the changes are for the purpose of transcending the cycle of reincarnation, which is the so-called Golden Immortal realm.

From the Golden Immortal to the Daluo Heavenly Immortal, they are actually all pursuing the changes in the nature of heaven and earth, and the principle of cause and effect therein.

And in the very end, when the cultivator has reached a certain limit in the realm of Daluo Tianxian, the changes and perceptions of nature are already in his heart, and nature no longer has any secrets.

At this point, all extraordinary things become ordinary.

What we pursue is no longer the changes in the nature of heaven and earth, but the way of heaven.

The highest realm of following the Way of Heaven is to keep one's own pace completely consistent with the Way of Heaven, while at the same time being able to walk one's own unique path that even the Way of Heaven will take notice.

As for going against the will of heaven and shouting every day about wanting to do something against the laws of nature, that is too abstract.

The essence of the Way of Heaven is just the collection of all changes in nature, the integration of the past, present and future. It is just a symbolic existence.

It can be said that if you do not pay attention to the Way of Heaven, the Way of Heaven is equivalent to non-existence.

In a sense, everything, including the Way of Heaven itself, is part of the "Way of Heaven".

This may sound a bit complicated, but it is true.

The way of heaven is fine and it has done nothing wrong. Why are you going against it?
Isn't this just looking for trouble?
What Jiang Lin has to do now is to further understand the way of heaven.

Originally, this was an extremely difficult thing to do. Even though Jiang Lin's current strength and realm had reached the level of the Four Imperial Gods, wanting to communicate with the Way of Heaven was like a mirage in the water.

But the current extreme state of the Three Realms of Extreme Yin gave Jiang Lin a high-speed rail ticket directly to Tiandao’s hometown.

Dead silence means complete silence, means complete rigidity. Although the birth of dead silence is also a kind of change, the final result of this change is unacceptable to the way of heaven.

Although the way of heaven will not stop the changes of dead silence from ushering in the final silence and erasing all other changes.

But if there is a situation that can curb the silence and bring new changes to the whole world, the Heavenly Dao will not hesitate to lower its gaze.

This is also what Jiang Lin is doing now.

This is why Jiang Lin got the ticket for the through train.

In the three extremely dark realms now, there is only one cultivator like Jiang Lin who is qualified to have direct contact with the Heavenly Dao.

And Jiang Lin is also doing things that are worthy of the favor of heaven.

The entire Three Realms of Extreme Yin is the stage used by Jiang Lin to attract the attention of Heaven, and the only actor is Jiang Lin himself.

This is a rare opportunity that comes once in a thousand years.

The speed at which the Six-Hole Sky Demon devoured the dark matter was increasing exponentially. In just a short while, the dark sea that filled the entire human world had been reduced by nearly one percent, visibly to the naked eye.

It will get faster and faster later.

This also led to the fact that Jiang Lin, who was the starting point of all this layout, was slowly sublimating.

The source of sublimation comes from the favor of heaven.

But the sublimation itself is not a gift from heaven, but the sublimation that Jiang Lin’s own way brings about when he comprehends the way of heaven.

It is the progress of Jiang Lin’s own way.

This sublimation was not fast, but Jiang Lin had enough patience at the moment.

Because he knew that as the number of the Six Cave Heavenly Demons increased, the speed would also become faster and faster.

The gaze of heaven will also be closer.

Finally, when the level of the dark sea had dropped to the point where only half of the human world was left, Jiang Lin truly "saw" the existence of the Way of Heaven.

It was a scene that could not be described in any words.

All changes in the nature of heaven and earth, all the past, present and future, and all directions of up and down and in all dimensions.

All the secrets of "Tao", including the world, appeared in front of Jiang Lin without any obstruction.

If Jiang Lin had to describe it...

spark.

The collision of change and change, the surging waves of the long river of time, and the friction of the fusion of heaven and earth.

Everything within the Heavenly Dao, as long as it is in circulation, will stir and collide to produce sparks representing the Dao.

All the secrets of Tao are hidden in these sparks.

Jiang Lin was like a dry sponge, greedily staring at everything in front of him.

However, he resisted the urge to absorb.

However, if Jiang Lin chooses to completely immerse himself in "Tao" now, his own realm will be elevated to a terrifying level, and all secrets will be exposed.

But that's not what Jiang Lin wanted.

Because that means becoming one with the Way of Heaven, becoming the spokesperson of the Way of Heaven, being neither sad nor happy like the Way of Heaven, and treating all things in heaven and earth as straw dogs.

To follow the Way of Heaven is definitely not to transform Heaven and become one with the Way of Heaven.

The ultimate goal of a cultivator is to follow the Way of Heaven, but it is definitely not to become one with the Way of Heaven.

The thoughts, ideas, and will of intelligent creatures are the most fundamental things for cultivators. Once they choose to become one with the Heavenly Dao, all of these will disappear and will be assimilated by the Heavenly Dao.

Even an existence like the Great Celestial Lord cannot resist the assimilation from the Heavenly Dao.

In a sense, this can also be considered a test from heaven.

Jiang Lin opened his eyes, but that perspective of looking into the eyes of Heaven still existed.

Countless sparks surrounded his Ten Thousand Stars Throne, representing that the gaze of Heaven was still watching Jiang Lin.

"call……"

Jiang Lin slowly exhaled, raised his hand, and slowly touched one of the sparks.

He didn't care what the spark represented, whether it was nature, change, or heaven and earth.

Jiang Lin just needs such a spark as a springboard.

The moment he came into contact with the spark, Jiang Lin himself began to change.

He himself seemed to have become one of the thousands of sparks, but seemed so out of place.

It's okay to be incompatible. If it is exactly the same as the other sparks representing the Heavenly Dao, it means that Jiang Lin has been assimilated by the Heavenly Dao.

Although he was out of place, Jiang Lin eventually became a spark.

At this moment, Jiang Lin has already merged into the Heavenly Dao, but he has maintained his own will, wisdom and thoughts, and has not been assimilated by the Heavenly Dao.

It's like a speck of oil in the water.

But no matter what, it's in the same bowl after all.

This is Jiang Lin’s plan.

The great way to heaven that follows the way of heaven is to enter the way of heaven, to comprehend the way of heaven from within the way of heaven, but not to integrate into the way of heaven.

Time has no meaning, and self-improvement is no longer a concern.

Jiang Lin put all his thoughts and thoughts into the Way of Heaven.

Everything about him was immersed in the changes and causal cycles of the Way of Heaven.

The eternal certification of the Great Luo Heavenly Immortal has no meaning within the Heavenly Dao.

This also gave Jiang Lin a different perspective.

Jiang Lin seemed to have turned into countless Jiang Lins and became a part of the Heavenly Dao, but it also seemed that there was only one unique existence, which was out of tune with the Heavenly Dao.

This process lasted for a very long time.

But there has been no change.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Lin opened his eyes.

The sublimation has ended, and the gaze of heaven has moved away.

But Jiang Lin was still immersed in the world of heaven.

Under this state, Jiang Lin's own consciousness and wisdom were inevitably suppressed.

Jiang Lin stood up, his expression extremely indifferent, without any emotion in his eyes, and took a step forward.

The next moment, Jiang Lin’s figure left Taiwei Palace, left the sea of ​​stars, passed through the heaven, and came to the human world.

The human world at this moment is no longer the world of the dark sea. All the dark matter in the human world has been swallowed up by the Six Caves Demon.

But the human world is still extremely crowded.

Because countless six-hole demons filled the entire human world. Rather than saying that the six-hole demons devoured all the dark matter, it would be better to say that the six-hole demons replaced the dark matter.

The entire human world is filled with an extremely dense demonic aura.

After eating up all the dark matter in the human world, the six demons in the sky have begun to head towards the underworld.

Thanks to the fact that the black matter had already eroded the boundary barrier between the human world and the underworld, the six cave demons had no obstacles in their journey to the underworld.

Jiang Lin watched quietly, watching the countless Six-Hole Heavenly Demons heading towards the underworld to start a new round of devouring and multiplying.

This is also a kind of change.

Given Jiang Lin's current state, which was affected by the Heaven's Way, he had no reason to stop it.

But Jiang Lin still moved.

He raised his hand, but there was no surge of magic power or any other magical effect.

But at this moment, the rules changed.

The unique power of reversing yin and yang began to burst out, and with the help of the power of heaven, it instantly covered the entire human world.

Then, the evil spirit was reversed.

Boundless vitality began to revive in the human world. The originally dark and strange world belonging to the devil was purified in an instant.

Vitality replaced the evil spirit.

The human world, which had long been completely eroded by the dark matter, began to recover.

It was as if the entire human world was fast-forwarded.

On the earth that was completely eroded by death and then reconstructed and rendered by demonic energy, endless vitality was brewing.

The dark earth turned into its natural khaki color, but the khaki color only lasted for a moment, and in the blink of an eye it was covered by lush green grass.

The growth and withering of the grass completes a cycle in just one breath.

And above the lush green grass that bloomed once again, high mountains rose from the ground, and insects and hares began to appear in the grass.

The hare attracted tigers and wolves, and they began to fight for territory, and blood inevitably began to spread.

The smell of blood further attracted the snakes, and the movement of the snakes caused the hawks in the sky to swoop down.

As the mountains rose, large areas of land sank, and the sea, representing the origin of life, surged out.

In the sea, countless creatures began to move and reproduce.

Nature flourished in an instant.

Changes begin to occur all the time.

Countless demons in the six caves are wailing and gradually collapsing. The world of life cannot tolerate the existence of demons.

The six-hole demons that originally filled the entire human world have all been annihilated, except for a very small number that have poured into the underworld.

The six demons in the sky tried to escape into the underworld in panic, but the extreme vitality had already restored the boundary barrier between the human world and the underworld to its original state.

Jiang Lin watched quietly, indifferent to the annihilation of the six cave demons.

This was his plan.

Looking at the prosperous human world, Jiang Lin raised his hand again.

"Imperial decree, the mighty power of the Great Pure Daode Tianzun is here to shine upon you."

Jiang Lin recited slowly.

With the blessing of Heaven's Way and a status that was almost integrated into Heaven's Way, Jiang Lin's every move and every word carried the power of rules.

This sentence is no exception.

The next moment, a figure appeared beside Jiang Lin, but it was not Taoist Taiqing.

Instead, it was a woman with a human body and a snake tail. The woman’s face could not be seen clearly. After she appeared, she just nodded slightly at Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin raised his hand to return the greeting and said, "Trouble you, fellow Taoist."

"It doesn't matter."

The woman with a human body and a snake tail smiled slightly and her figure fell on the ground.

Water and soil came into contact and merged, becoming sticky mud.

The woman leaned over and picked up a willow branch, covered it with mud, and then slowly waved it.

Every bit of soil that falls to the ground brings with it the great power called "mediation of nature".

A living being called human was born from that little bit of soil.

The naked people looked around in confusion, but soon adapted to the situation and surrounded the woman with a human body and a snake tail, twisting their limbs happily.

In a short while, 129,600 humans appeared in this new world.

The woman smiled and nodded, looked up and bowed slightly to Jiang Lin, then disappeared.

Jiang Lin raised his hand in return towards the empty seat.

Then, a look of spirit began to appear in his eyes.

The emergence of human beings means that wisdom begins to sprout in this new world.

And wisdom represents the starting point of all changes.

Under some mysterious cause and effect connection, Jiang Lin broke away from the state of being immersed in the way of heaven.

Jiang Lin took a deep breath at this moment, and even he felt a little scared.

Sure enough, it is not that easy to directly comprehend the Way of Heaven.

If it were not for the deep knowledge in one's own will, one would know how to face a new world, know what it meant for Pangu to create the heaven and earth, know what it meant for Nuwa to create human beings, and instinctively act according to one's own expectations.

Otherwise, you might really be assimilated by the way of heaven.

"Is this the ultimate use of memories of this world?"

Jiang Lin muttered to himself in words that no one else could understand. Although he had awakened a lot of wisdom, the most profound impressions were still his memories of the present world.

If it weren't for these memories, it would be difficult to escape from the perception of the Way of Heaven.

This is different from what you have come into contact with in the Three Realms, it is real history.

The so-called Nuwa creating human beings that we know in the present world is just a myth, just a story.

It is precisely this kind of game-like mentality that will prevent it from being interfered with by the laws of nature and from being mixed with any supernatural elements.

Pure, human memory.

No extraordinary memories.

This is the most important thing.

Jiang Lin looked inward and found that the three flowers on the top of his head and the five energies in his chest had disappeared. To be precise, they had been integrated into his body and became a part of his natural changes.

This is the ultimate result of sublimation.

The eternal certification of an ordinary Daluo celestial being is meaningless in the profound changes of the Way of Heaven.

This is also the reason why the Daluo Heavenly Immortal would perish in the infinite calamity.

But now Jiang Lin has transcended the general level of eternal enlightenment.

Even the way of heaven can no longer affect Jiang Lin now.

Transcending the Way of Heaven, yet deeply understanding the Way of Heaven and originating from the Way of Heaven.

This concept of opposition and fusion seems to return to the original change, the pair of yin and yang fish.

Jiang Lin lowered his head and looked towards the underworld.

The six demons in the sky have begun to devour the dark matter from the underworld non-stop.

Although the number of people pouring into the underworld is only a small part compared to the total number, it is still extremely exaggerated.

The speed of devouring the dark matter in the underworld is faster than that in the human world.

But Jiang Lin no longer needs to sublimate, nor does he need to work hard to attract the attention of heaven.

As long as he wanted, he could look into the eyes of Heaven at all times.

However, what the Six Cave Demons are doing at this moment is not meaningless to Jiang Lin.

At least the underworld does need to be cleansed.

The human world has settled down, the human race has begun to multiply, ferocious beasts and poisonous insects have begun to proliferate, and creatures called demons have also begun to appear.

The road to the rise of the human race is not smooth no matter in which world.

Jiang Lin took a step forward, wanting to go to the underworld.

But after taking a step forward, I am still in the same place.

Jiang Lin frowned and raised his hand as if he sensed something.

At some point, a layer of dark, sticky substance appeared on my hands...
