I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 460 Redefining Realms and Dividing Paths (23)

With the appearance of the celestial dog eating the sun, the underworld's dark spring went berserk.

Just as the underworld and the mortal world were about to completely overlap, a faint sigh suddenly echoed throughout both worlds.

Regardless of life or death, strength or weakness...

From the gods to the ants, every conscious being heard this voice.

Immediately afterwards, an invisible face appeared in the darkness, reflecting concepts like heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, the sun, moon and stars.

To be honest, the appearance of that face was so abrupt.

Yet, as if it were the natural order of things, no one questioned His abrupt manifestation.

He transcends all things in the world, is the end and destination of all things, and is the embodiment of the concept of "death".

Heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, sun, moon and stars—all have an end, and all will die.

All abstract and concrete concepts, as long as they involve "death," can find their answer in that invisible face.

If we define the abstract description that symbolizes all concepts in the world as "Tao".

So this invisible face is the physical form of the "path of death," the concept of death while alive.

Aren't you going to make a move?

After a brief silence, the voice of the Lord of the Underworld resounded in the hearts of all things.

But everyone knew that He wasn't speaking to them, but rather pointing to a clearer and more precise goal.

I can only end the 'death' of two worlds, but I cannot bring them back to life.

Since you claim to be in control of 'Heaven's Way,' then let me see the power of 'Heaven'!

The calm voice revealed no inflection whatsoever; the Lord of the Underworld patiently awaited the appearance of another voice.

"I am not the Heavenly Dao; I only want to stop this catastrophe."

Unlike the voice of the Lord of the Underworld, Li Boyang's voice appeared directly in the ears of all living beings.

However, this voice also transcended racial and linguistic barriers, conveying Li Boyang's will and thoughts with unparalleled clarity and firmness.

Is it merely to stop this catastrophe?

This time, there was a clear hint of laughter in the voice of the Lord of the Underworld.

[Have you been waiting for me to make a move, really just to stop this catastrophe?]

Upon hearing this, Li Boyang laughed without any attempt to hide his laughter.

"Of course not. I don't just want to stop this catastrophe; I also want to usher in a more prosperous era."

This was a fact that Li Boyang had already established when he first met the Lord of the Underworld.

At that time, the Lord of the Underworld invited Li Boyang to become his Wheel King, but he resolutely refused.

I understand your desire to reshape the order of the mortal world.

[Because Haojun had the same idea as you back then, but he ultimately failed.]

[Yet you are even more arrogant than Him, daring to interfere with the order of my underworld.]

At this point, the Lord of the Underworld paused slightly, and his invisible giant face seemed to become even more terrifying.

Under the intimidation of the Lord of the Underworld, even the gods who were engaged in fierce battles couldn't help but slow down the pace of their fight.

"So that's why you've always wanted to change the underworld and break through the bottleneck, but you've never been able to succeed."

From the perspective of all living beings, a pagoda, entirely of dark yellow, appeared out of thin air.

Just like that invisible giant face.

That pagoda seemed to manifest the laws of the universe's rotation and the operation of all things. Just looking at that pagoda, some people had an epiphany, while others went mad with desire.

Thus, under the spotlight of the world.

Li Boyang, with his red hair flying wildly, appeared inside the [Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda].

He was dressed in a red leather robe and sat quietly in the pagoda, exuding an aura of composure.

It formed a stark contrast to the invisible giant face in the sky.

"You and Haojun only focus on your own world, separating the underworld from the mortal world."

"But in my view, these two worlds are one, and you have fundamentally gone down the wrong path."

Li Boyang gazed silently at the [Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda].

The Lord of the Underworld did not interrupt the other party, but instead listened attentively with great interest, just like when the two first met.

“Having cultivated to the level we have, we are already considered ‘great gods’ in the eyes of the world.”

"But you and I both know that the title of 'Great God' is just an empty name and cannot be considered the ultimate Dao at all."

"Refining essence into qi is the 'realm of mortals,' which involves strengthening the body, refining the qi of the five internal organs, and harmonizing the source of life, thereby transcending the ordinary."

"Refining Qi into Spirit is the 'Divine Realm,' which connects with Heaven and Earth, controls the Consciousness Spirit, and manifests the Primordial Spirit. Every move it makes carries the power of Heaven and Earth."

"Refining the spirit and returning to emptiness is the 'realm of transformation,' which is to understand one's true nature, return to one's origin, and become one with the Dao."

"At this point, one can silently comprehend one's past life, foresee the future, hold the earth and rivers in one's palm, and see thousands of miles with the wondrous power of the six senses."

Li Boyang's discourse was not only addressed to the Lord of the Underworld, but also described the future path of all living beings.

"The Heavenly Emperor Haojun of ten thousand years ago, the Netherworld Lord of this era, and even myself today, have all stopped at the 'Transformation Realm'."

"The Dao is the way of mountains and rivers, the rotation of the sun and moon, the birth and death of all things, and the Yin and Yang of heaven and earth."

"Those who attain enlightenment may be strong or weak, but there is no distinction between high and low."

"Those who reach the 'Transformation Realm' will either have an immortal body, an immortal spirit, or an everlasting breath..."

"The heavens and earth will thus gain more depth, evolve new changes, and then, like us cultivators, continuously become stronger."

When Li Boyang finished speaking, the two major battlefields in the East China Sea completely subsided.

Even the mad and insane Kang Hui, and the arrogant and stubborn Shao Hao, clearly realized the rarity of this opportunity and began to listen attentively to Li Boyang's next sermon.

"However, refining one's spirit and returning to emptiness to become a Dao Transformer is not as simple as one might imagine."

"A clear goal, a firm Dao heart, and profound cultivation are all indispensable..."

"All I can do now is point out the way forward for you and help you avoid some detours."

Just as all living things are silently listening to Li Boyang's voice.

Even though the Lord of the Underworld realized that Li Boyang was using this opportunity to preach, He did not interrupt him.

After all, the Lord of the Underworld is the Son of Heaven, a born and sacred ruler of the underworld.

It was only natural for Him to become a "transformer of the Way," and it was impossible for Him to make a complete summary and conclusion like Li Boyang.

Especially after reaching one's own limits.

If the Lord of the Underworld wants to advance further, he must sort out those fundamental things.

In fact, this was also one of the main purposes of the Underworld Lord's repeated reincarnations.

If I were to abandon my identity as the King of the Underworld and start from scratch, could I still become the ruler of the Underworld?
