I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 547 The Three Realms are established by this, and all the heavens are formed by this.
"From now on, there will be no sentient beings in the Three Realms who will not enter the cycle of reincarnation."

In just a few breaths, Li Boyang's voice resounded throughout the Three Realms and Six Paths.

Whether in the mortal world, the underworld, or the Six Desire Realms, all the powerful beings at the level of gods and above widened their eyes in unison.

Unfortunately, due to the difference in strength and vision, they could not immediately realize what had happened.

Only those who have attained enlightenment from other times and spaces, or great deities of this era like the Lord of the Underworld, can clearly see the evolution of the Great Free Heaven.

"The Three Realms? The myriad heavens?"

The Lord of Mount Tai slowly emerged from Mount Tai, staring in astonishment at the edge of a world invisible to ordinary people.

The same thing happened almost simultaneously to the Emperor of Fengdu in the underworld.

However, his expression was much calmer.

As an incarnation of Li Boyang, He even took the initiative to help the Primordial Heavenly Demon stabilize the still-forming Three Realms system.

"call!"

Seeing this, the true form of the Lord of Mount Tai—the Underworld Lord of the Netherworld—opened his eyes once more.

Standing at a higher dimension, the Lord of the Underworld, witnessing this demonstration of the Dao that was in no way inferior to the "formation of the Heavenly Dao," could hardly conceal the shock in his heart.

Beyond the original Yin and Yang realms.

A world caught between the two is slowly taking shape.

That is the "Heavenly Realm" which originated from the Great Free Heaven, a new world specifically designed to accommodate celestial beings and gods.

The three elements subtly form a mutually supportive relationship, together constituting a vast and delicate cycle.

This cycle is centered on the three souls of Heaven, Earth, and Man, which are interconnected and influence each other.

To be honest, ever since Li Boyang established the Six Paths of Reincarnation system, how to settle those gods who are unwilling to be reincarnated has become a major problem.

The original plan of the Emperor of Fengdu was to suppress them in the Nine Springs and Nine Hells, gradually wearing away their resentment and anger.

However, this was destined to be only a temporary measure.

After all, those ghosts and gods are different from ordinary ghosts; even after they die, they are still favored by the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

They wanted to wear down their hostility and resentment.

The time required during this period is far greater than that of ordinary ghosts.

According to the current cycle of reincarnation, often before one ghost or deity can be reincarnated, more than ten ghosts or deities are imprisoned.

If this continues, the nine springs and nine hells will eventually be full, and the gathering of ghosts and spirits will sooner or later cause a great disaster.

Not to mention, the above situation is only the result of ghosts and gods being unwilling to reincarnate.

With the popularization of the Way of Heaven and Man and the improvement of cultivation methods, there will be more practitioners of the Way of Heaven and Man than these ghosts and gods in the future.

Because these celestial beings are not like those ghosts and gods who rely solely on talent.

Leaving aside the practitioners of later generations, the celestial beings of this era, under the tutelage of Li Boyang, generally possessed sound theories, extensive knowledge, and profound wisdom.

Once these guys grow up, they'll be even more troublesome than ghosts and gods.

Moreover, they are different from those ghosts and spirits who are filled with resentment and have committed unforgivable sins.

If these practitioners are unwilling to enter the cycle of reincarnation simply because they seek immortality, should they also be imprisoned in the Nine Hells and Nine Springs?

Under these circumstances, the birth of the Celestial Realm became the best "refuge".

Those celestial beings and gods who do not wish to enter the cycle of reincarnation after death, all of you, get out of here to the heavenly realm!

Only when one has severed all desires of the five senses and is willing to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation can one go to the netherworld to be reborn.

Compared to forcibly suppressing these dangerous elements in the underworld, this laissez-faire approach is clearly much wiser.

Because the Lord of the Underworld could see clearly that this newly born Heavenly Realm was deliberately separated from the Yin and Yang Realms in terms of time sequence.

—The Four Heavenly Kings' Heaven measures a day and night as fifty years in the human realm, and their lifespan is five hundred years.

—The Trayastrimsa Heaven measures one day and night as one hundred years in the human realm, and has a lifespan of one thousand years.

—The Yama Heaven measures a day and night in the human realm as two hundred years, and has a lifespan of two thousand years.

—The Tusita Heaven measures a day and night as four hundred years in the human realm, and has a lifespan of four thousand years.

—The "Hualetian" considers eight hundred years as a day and night in the human world, and has a lifespan of eight thousand years.

This is truly a day in heaven equal to a hundred years on earth; the exaggerated time ratio is simply astonishing.

Such a long time scale, coupled with the fact that dreams can almost come true in the celestial realm...

Once future cultivators travel to the celestial realm, they will be able to minimize their interference with and disruption of the reincarnation system.

If this still cannot eliminate the obsessions of the gods and celestial beings, and make them willingly reincarnate, then...

Above these five heavens, there is a sixth heaven—the Heaven of Other-Transformation.

Those cultivators who insist on exploiting loopholes in the reincarnation system and insist on being reborn at their own discretion will all enter the Paranirmitavasavartin Heaven. If even the Paranirmitavasavartin Heaven cannot subdue them...

That can only mean that, at least on a spiritual level, they have reached the realm of refining the spirit and returning to emptiness, and their primordial spirit is immortal.

Such a being with such a steadfast Dao heart is destined to become a great celestial being in the future.

Since that's the case, why not let them reincarnate on their own and choose their own reincarnation?

"The Three Realms? The Six Desire Realms?"

Listening to the sounds around her, Chang'e on the Moon Star stared in astonishment as she looked down at the mortal realm below.

Even if you beat Chang'e to death, she would never have imagined that the Dao Ancestor would evolve his second path in such a way.

In a world where dreams can come true...

In a spacetime where the proportions of time are exaggerated to an absurd degree...

If one did not know beforehand that this was a "prison" arranged by the Taoist Ancestor for the heavenly beings and gods, who would refuse a world where wishes can be fulfilled?
Regardless of how the celestial realm develops in future generations.

At least at this stage, the Heavenly Realm is merely a means for the Dao Ancestor to reduce the damage to the Six Paths of Reincarnation caused by the gods and celestial beings.

"The Six Desire Realms? It truly lives up to its name!"

Amazed, Mara even forgot his previous fear; he truly witnessed the creation of the world.

The world returned to chaos, with earth, fire, water, and wind raging...

All Buddhas and demon kings fell to their respective heavens, and endless desires manifested themselves.

In this celestial realm where the false becomes real and the dreamlike illusion is so profound, even saints cannot help but become captivated by it.

Moreover, these are all Buddhas and demon kings transformed from desires.

Then, the Buddhas manifested countless holy Buddha realms, expounding Buddhist scriptures and explaining Buddhist principles, guiding all beings to great enlightenment.

Those demon kings then created earthly paradises, paving roads with gold and jade and adorning people with brocade, taking extravagance and debauchery to the extreme.

—What the heart desires, the heart obtains; decadent music spreads throughout heaven and earth.

Even a steadfast practitioner like Mara, with a firm resolve, vaguely saw the path he sought spanning all of time and space—past, present, and future.

That is a truly eternal and unchanging supreme realm.

Most importantly, Mara did not only see this possibility.

As His thoughts shifted, this only region that had not yet evolved officially began to evolve.

That is the path of the celestial demons that Mara pursued, the true "Paranoia of Freedom".

As the highest heaven among the six desire heavens, this "Paranirmitavasavartin Heaven" is the manifestation of Mara's path and the true and unfailing embodiment of the fruit of the path.

"Is this sixth heaven... real or fake?"

Unable to conceal his shock and greed, the fire in the Eight Trigrams Furnace surged rapidly in response to Mara's desires.

Reason tells Him that the "Heaven of Others" is merely an illusion created by Li Boyang using the "Way of Primordial Beginning".

However, everything in sight contradicts Mara's view.

Following his inner instincts, Mara invoked the power of Paranirmitavasavartin, and unsurprisingly discovered that this power was real.

He did indeed succeed in attaining enlightenment, and what he attained was the "Path of the Heavenly Demon".

This Paranirmitavasavartin is the object of Mara's enlightenment, and He can even project and reflect it into the present world.

But that's where the problem lies.

Mara, who had successfully attained enlightenment, was trapped in the six realms of desire, and trapped in the "Primordial Way" evolved by Li Boyang.

—To attain enlightenment through the hands of others, for the path of others is my path.

This was originally Mara's specialty, but now it has become Li Boyang's means of imprisoning Him.

Moreover, from now on, all those who attain enlightenment in the heavenly realm will have their paths transformed into a part of the "Primordial Way".

To say that they were controlled by Li Boyang might be an exaggeration.

However, it is impossible to break free from the limitations of the "Primordial Way" without paying a price.

This is a place of enlightenment where wishes come true, but it is also a nightmare for all those who try to take shortcuts.

"Great freedom, or even the freedom of other-transformation, is nothing more than a dream of practicing the false into the real..."

"When you believe it to be true, then it is true."

"In this respect, you are far inferior to Laozi and Zhuangzi, because they never bothered with the distinction between truth and falsehood."
