The God of Heavens

Chapter 271 The Great Dao is Initially Formed
"This...this is the Tathagata Palm, the Ten Great Seals. Are you from the Great Zen Temple?"

The Great Luo Heavenly Venerable roared, his mind racing as he tried to figure out who the other party was, or perhaps a remnant of the Great Zen Temple from back then, coming to seek revenge.

"Speak up!"

After breaking through the Great Luo Heavenly Venerable's Daoist technique, Lin Yu swung his claw in mid-air, aiming for the Great Luo Heavenly Venerable's body.

The Great Celestial Venerable desperately urged the remaining incense and vow power, his body transforming into thousands of silver threads as he scattered and fled.

"Want to go?"

Lin Yu sneered, and a golden swastika suddenly appeared in his palm. As soon as the seal was made, thousands of silver threads, as if encountering a magnet, involuntarily rolled back.

The Great Celestial Venerable was horrified to discover that the incense offerings and vows he had accumulated over hundreds of years were being forcibly drained away!

"Do not--"

Amidst a piercing scream, the deity worshipped by the Great Luo Sect for many years finally fell like a bird trapped in a cage, grasped firmly in Lin Yu's palm. The silver divine body twisted and struggled incessantly, but could not escape the five-finger cage.

The battle against the Great Luo Sect has ended, and everyone returns laden with spoils, stepping into the Primordial Heavenly Gate. Having suffered such a devastating blow, the Great Luo Sect was nearly wiped out, reduced to utter ruins, with no chance of recovery.

Next, Lin Yu's Vacuum Path took to the stage.

Inside the Primordial Heavenly Gate.

The Hell Furnace rose with a roar, and the Great Luo Celestial Venerable was thrown into it, his mournful howl echoing through the heavens.

Three days and three nights passed, and the wailing stopped abruptly. The Great Luo Heavenly Venerable had completely disappeared from the world.

At the same time, a pure and vast divine radiance, like mercury, seeped out from the furnace.

Lin Yu transformed into the Great Buddha of the past, raised his hand and grabbed the mercury radiance refined by the Great Luo Heavenly Venerable in his palm.

He suddenly focused his energy, condensing the brilliance behind his head.

In an instant!
As the nine halos were about to coalesce, a profound sense of "returning to oneness" swept through Lin Yu's heart.

Every thought in his soul leaped and trembled, and this vibration spread like ripples, quickly reaching the halo behind his head.

Initially, the nine halos were of varying strengths: seven were weak, the halo of the Tai Shi Mountain Dragon Soul was the strongest, and even the halo of the newly refined Great Luo Heavenly Venerable was slightly inferior.

But in the soul-shaking tremor of "returning to oneness," the auras began to merge. The powers intertwined and complemented each other, and the seven weak auras gradually filled up. Although the aura of the Tai Shi Mountain Dragon Soul dimmed, it became even more gentle.

Finally, the nine-colored halos merged perfectly, their power becoming equal, with no longer any distinction between strong and weak, and the strange aura of the Tai Shi Mountain Dragon Soul completely dissipated.

At this moment, Lin Yu truly grasped the profound meaning of "equality," "freedom," "future," "non-birth," and "vacuum."

"Thus have I heard. In the future, in the Dharma-ending Age, when the void is decaying, a Dharma will descend from beyond the heavens, a Dharma that is without birth or death for one kalpa and one eon, the Doumu Mysterious Spirit, the Immortal Primordial Spirit..."

From Lin Yu's mouth came the verses of the Future Unborn Scripture.

Boom!

As the scriptures flowed, the phantom of a large Buddha slowly emerged from the nine halos.

The Buddha's face is blurred, its body is ethereal and graceful, seemingly containing endless mysteries, yet also appearing as if nothing exists.

When the Buddha first appeared, its form was like smoke and mist. In an instant, it vanished like green smoke, leaving no trace of its physical form.

Nine apertures flow endlessly!

At this point, although the Vacuum Great Handprint has not yet reached perfection, it has been successfully cultivated!
Having mastered the three principles of past, present, and future, Lin Yu found himself in a state of profound mystery.

The Dao fruits of the ancient Yuan Emperor appeared in his mind, the scriptures flowed, the laws of the Great Dao resonated, and the energy of heaven and earth surged into his body.

"Now, Tathagata, the Primordial True Body, Tathagata Palm..."

With a thought, Lin Yu arranged and combined the images, and a person was born who stood on a lotus flower, whose whole body was bathed in golden Buddhist light, and who looked exactly like the Buddha in the "Present Tathagata Sutra".

"No thought, no attachment, the fundamental seal."

Lin Yu's fingertips suddenly flipped, and an ancient fist imprint took shape in mid-air. As soon as this fist imprint appeared, everything in the vast world seemed to return to its origin.

At this moment, all was silent, light and darkness vanished, and all matter and energy transformed into pure primordial power, like rivers flowing into the sea, nourishing itself and strengthening its foundation.

"What's this……"

Zhao Hu, Blood Blade, and Goddess of the Cold Moon were shaken to their core. Countless primordial energies of heaven and earth, the power of stars, and the true meaning of time and space were forcibly drawn out like a burst dam, returning to their origin and transforming into streams of light that entered Lin Yu's body.

In an instant, all the acupoints in Lin Yu's body were connected, like stars linked together, and his aura transformed into a tangible golden halo, growing stronger at a visible speed.

"Is this the 'Present Tathagata Sutra' that the Prince cultivates? It is indeed terrifying!"

Just then, Lin Yu changed his moves again.
"Wisdom Seal!"

"The Great Thousand Seals!"

"Boundless Seal!"

"Nirvana Seal!"

"Formless Seal!"

"Bodhi Seal!"

"Mahayana!"

"Reveal the Seal!"

"Polo Seal!"

He demonstrated each move, watching the crowd become completely mesmerized. Finally, after a long period of contemplation, Lin Yu slowly unleashed a technique that caused countless round, crimson-gold halos to appear throughout the void.
These halos, once they appear, carry an aura of eternal freedom, seemingly halos that no calamity can destroy.

Looking at these round, golden halos, anyone would think of four words.

Cause, effect, karma, retribution.

These four words seem to summarize a certain law of the world: no natural disaster, no geological disaster, no Taoist magic can erase or destroy them.

That is the truth!

The moment the crimson-gold halo appeared, golden figures appeared and disappeared, chanting Zen hymns, each word shining through, seemingly praising the great fruit of enlightenment reappearing in the world.

Flowers rained down from the sky, and golden lotuses sprang from the ground!
Wonderful images unfolded, and the sounds of chanting lingered in the air; a series of Zen chants echoed through the void.

Amidst countless chants and praises, all the halos and figures coalesced, condensing into a wondrous and multifaceted fruit.

This fruit, seemingly round yet square, flat yet full, shifts in the field of vision, each glance revealing a new perspective.

Its surface shimmered with a crimson-gold aura, sometimes bursting forth with the pressure to shatter cause and effect, and sometimes overflowing with the Daoist charm to break fate. The terror and mystery of this power made people dazzled and dare not look directly at it.

"This is... the primordial cause and effect?!"

Lin Yu's heart stirred, and he recognized the name of the fruit.

It is the legendary primordial cause and the fruit of the Dao!

Yuan refers to the Yuan Emperor.

The Dao is the Dao of the Great Dao.

The Dao Fruit that the ancient Yuan Emperor cultivated was called "Yuan Yin Dao Fruit," or simply "Karma."

This Dao Fruit, according to legend, has an indescribable form and incredible power. Lin Yu knew that this was a divine power that could only be obtained in the Great Perfection state of the Tathagata Palm!
The Tathagata Palm, in its perfect state, forms a Dao fruit called "Cause and Effect." The realm of this "Cause and Effect" is probably already at the level of the "Creator."

However, his foundation was no weaker than that of the Creator in the same state. With a commanding view, he still comprehended it and condensed it into this "cause and effect".

When the Yang God created the world, it contained eight supernatural powers, namely time and space, which are called time and space!
Destruction and rebirth are the cycle of life and death!

Power, laws, these are the principles!

Cause and effect are called causality!

It possesses eight supernatural powers, enough to create the world.

With the concept of "cause and effect" emerging, Lin Yu's thoughts were elevated to a new level. His thoughts seemed to transcend the barriers of time and space, communicating with the ancient emperor.

The realm of “Yuan”, the mind of “Yuan”, and the will of “Yuan” reappeared in his heart one by one, and he became aware of all things in the vast world.

Lin Yu placed the "Cause and Effect" above his head and kept calculating. Countless thoughts surged out from within his body, each one ten feet in diameter, expanding to its limit.

At this moment, Lin Yu was highly focused, with countless thoughts flowing through his mind, and various martial arts and Taoist techniques, from weak to strong, were reproduced.

Countless martial arts techniques evolved continuously within his mind. His thoughts shone brightly, and within each thought appeared a figure, each figure representing a martial art.

In a daze, every thought of Lin Yu was surging violently, and every movement of it radiated a clear and holy brilliance like crystal. This brilliance was the light of wisdom and the light of the soul.

"boom!"

Suddenly, an idea arose and transformed into a multi-story ship that was nine zhang long and sixteen chi high.

As soon as the ship appeared, a grand vision of breaking through waves, harnessing the power of creation, crossing the sea of ​​suffering, and reaching the other shore arose, instantly suppressing all other thoughts.

Boom!

As the Creation Ship unleashed its power, many martial arts techniques stirred within Lin Yu's sea of ​​consciousness, and various strange phenomena arose.

First to bear the brunt, a Buddha radiating boundless golden light rose into the air, an incarnation formed from the Yuanhuang Three Scriptures.

Immediately afterwards, various cultivation techniques, such as "Xuantian Dark Record", "Giant Spirit Gang Dao Book", "Ice Soul Divine Light Dao", and "War God Demon Scripture", manifested one after another, intertwining to create a dazzling brilliance and stirring up a thrilling martial arts battle in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Even the various ancient scriptures that Lin Yu himself comprehended, including those of sages and emperors, appeared one by one, evolving into various principles.

"All paths lead to the same origin, and all phenomena return to their source!"

In the end, within Lin Yu's sea of ​​consciousness, countless martial arts techniques continued to evolve, while he himself transformed into an existence similar to the mark of the heavens, appearing at the very center of all the martial arts techniques with a thunderous roar, to command and control them.

Sparks of wisdom flashed, thoughts raced to their limit, and all sorts of principles, both understood and ununderstood, existing and nonexistent, constantly emerged from his mind. Countless thoughts shifted and changed, as if forming some kind of grand formation, or creating some kind of earth-shattering supernatural power.

This divine power unifies the essence of countless martial arts with supreme strength, fusing the true essence of various schools into one.

Boom!

As the deduction reached its limit, Lin Yu, in a daze, sensed that in the infinite depths of his mind, a constantly changing Dao Fruit appeared. This Dao Fruit was similar to the Primordial Dao Fruit, its characteristics were indescribable, yet it was countless times more complex than the Primordial Dao Fruit.

Instantly, he felt as if he had experienced countless changes in the universe, the creation of heaven and earth, the flow of the Great Dao, from the beginning to the end.

Nothingness, the origin, the creation of heaven and earth, the great expansion, all things, the end, returning to the void.

Fate, cause and effect, time and space, creation, light and darkness, birth and death, chaos, reality and illusion.

It absorbs all principles; the old era is destroyed, and the new era begins; flowers bloom and wither, the world changes, and the great way changes, but I remain unchanged.

"Constantly absorbing, constantly creating, infinite and non-recurring, transcending the limitless, transcending existence and non-existence—this is the martial art I created, called the Primordial Beginning! The Primordial Great Dao!"

Lin Yu opened his eyes, all his thoughts gathering and converging. A supreme sense of harmony washed over him, as if he were in sync with the universe, coexisting and merging with the Great Dao; it was as if all things were within his grasp, and all changes were under his control.
The mind radiates a vast and luminous light, and the primordial Dao fruit rises up, constantly changing. At first, it has the charm of the Dao of Creation, then it becomes the eternal truth, and soon it changes again to become domineering... It keeps changing like this, and each change is absolutely different from the last. Finally, it returns to the primordial state, but it is also very different from the beginning.

The infinite changes of the Great Dao symbolize the infinite future of this Dao Fruit, while the Primordial Dao runs through it all, like a stabilizing force harmonizing all Daos, eliminating conflicts, and bringing all changes back to the primordial principle, thus achieving an eternal cycle of continuous life.
