My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 582 The Combination of Theory and Technology
The value of Heavenly Dao 0.81 to Li Wei is self-evident. No matter who the mastermind is, He must fight them properly.

So for the next period of time, Li Wei devoted himself entirely to the method of the transformation of fate and destiny, and began to study this path that was least suitable for him.

First and foremost, we must understand one thing.

Whether it's the way of Qi and destiny change in the Chan and Jie sects, the way of internal and external cultivation in Taoism, or the way of enlightenment and transcendence in Buddhism, they are all methods of cultivation, not specific laws or great principles.

It won't bring you direct lethality like cultivating the Thunder Path, nor will it allow you to freeze time like the Time Path, nor will it make you infinitely strong like the Primordial Demon God Path.

Even the ability to manipulate fate and write scripts, which is the hallmark of the Way of Change of Destiny and Fate, is merely a byproduct of cultivation and is not the goal pursued by the Way of Change of Destiny and Fate.

This world has limitations for cultivators!

Although the realms of Great Luo and Great Vehicle are there, they are hindered by countless obstacles!

If you only cultivate one path, such as the specific Dao of Thunder, Fire, or Metal, even if you master all the branches of the laws and become a Dao Lord, you can only reach the Golden Immortal level at most!

Even if one cultivates multiple paths simultaneously, one can only reach the peak of the Golden Immortal realm.

Therefore, relying solely on cultivating Taoist techniques is insufficient to break free from the constraints of the world and attain the status of a Great Luo, Great Vehicle, or Great Sage!

So the question is, if self-cultivation fails, how can one obtain greater power to break free from constraints and achieve a "greater" state?
Or to put it simply, if your own business development has reached a bottleneck and the physical industry has reached its limit, how can you take it a step further?

The most conventional method, of course, is to go public directly and leverage the power of shareholders!

Therefore, whether it is the Chan sect, the Jie sect, or the Taoist sect,

These oldest cultivation methods all believe that only by borrowing the power of heaven and earth can one break free from the shackles of humanity and master the power that was originally only available to innate deities and dominant races favored by the heavens!

However, the specific methods of leveraging external resources differ between the Chan and Jie schools, as well as the Daoist school, leading to the emergence of two different schools of thought.

According to Taoist theory, only by integrating all the wonders of heaven and earth into one's body and continuously strengthening oneself can one gather the power to transcend.

Therefore, based on this theory, they developed various technical schools of thought.
In short, it's about devouring everything in sight!
The combination of techniques for what to eat, how to eat, and how to practice at each stage forms the method of combined internal and external practice within the Taoist school.

For example, Ge Hong, the Minister of Fire in the Heavenly Court, combined the Taoist concept of internal and external cultivation with alchemy methods to develop various systems of laws and put them into practice.
Finally, he refined the mysteries of the human world into an elixir, swallowed and digested it, and continuously enhanced his own power and fortune, ultimately achieving Mahayana transcendence.

Finally, the series of laws developed by Ge Hong were classified as alchemy system technology, becoming a major technical branch of Taoism.

However, the methods of the Chan and Jie sects were not so domineering.

The Three Pure Ones believed that fortune is the core axis of heaven and earth, and the greatest common denominator of all things in heaven and earth, which means that everything in the human world has fortune.

Great paths such as the Thunder Path, Fire Path, and Metal Path also possess their own inherent fortune!
Therefore, by using Qi Yun (energy/luck), one can radiate to all things, thus enabling the activation of the power of all living beings in the world and drawing strength from everyone.

The more fortune you gain, the easier it is for you to transcend and elevate yourself to the realm of "heaven and man"!
As for how to gather fortune and how to elevate oneself, there are countless techniques in the immortal path.

You can join the Heavenly Court as a deity, using various systems of laws to bring rain and benefit all living beings. You can pursue the sacred path of education, using various systems of laws to spread your ideas and influence all living beings. If all else fails, you can develop new technologies to surpass the times and lead all living beings.

In short, as long as you choose the right law system, you can influence all things externally and gather more fortune internally, and then you can embark on the path of changing fortune and destiny.

The Buddhist doctrine is completely the opposite!

The Buddha believed that all conditioned phenomena in the world are like dreams and illusions, so he opposed relying on external forces like the Chan, Jie, and Dao schools, and instead emphasized seeking "enlightenment" inward!
Once one sees through the illusion of the realm of form and attains the wondrous state of neither perception nor non-perception, one can achieve "enlightenment," break free from the shackles of worldly phenomena, and realize self-transcendence!

Based on this theory, Buddhism developed twelve different systems of laws, namely the Four Dhyanas and Eight Samadhis, which together constitute the lineage of Buddhist meditation. Ultimately, they truly broke free from constraints and lifted themselves into the realm of gods and humans.

Anyway,

The principles of Qi and destiny in the Chan and Jie schools, the Taoist practice of internal and external cultivation, and the Buddhist methods of enlightenment and transcendence are not specific Taoist practices, but rather methods of cultivation, each with its own theoretical basis!
By using theory as a guide and combining it with different fundamental principles to construct a specific system of principles, one can then put the technology into practice.

Only when theory and technology are combined can it be considered a complete "path to enlightenment"!
This means that the three paths of cultivation cannot be shared.

Let's not even talk about Buddhism; it's the opposite of the Chan and Jie schools, and also of Taoism, so it's impossible for them to practice together.

The Chan and Jie schools and Taoism themselves are also contradictory.

After all, the path of Chanjie requires integrating into the fortune of all beings, building oneself into the center of fortune, and interacting and connecting with all beings in order to expand fortune exponentially and influence more beings.

Therefore, the focus is on sustainable circulation.

However, the Taoist practice of combining internal and external cultivation requires devouring everything and digesting all borrowed power into one's own. By then, if you've consumed all the luck, what kind of interaction will you have left?
This ultimately led to the formation of the three major factions.

After combining the theories and techniques of the Chan and Jie schools, they became adept at harnessing the power of all living beings, which enabled them to use the power of countless beings to write scripts and manipulate them.

The Taoist school combines theory and technique, practicing both internal and external methods to gather all great power into itself, thus making individual combat power invincible. The drawback is that "industrial production is not as good as fundraising." No matter how strong an individual's martial power is, it has its limits and cannot compare with the power of heaven, earth, and all living beings, making them easily swept away by the tide of events.

Buddhism pursues enlightenment, and after realizing "emptiness," one is no longer bound by reality. It has also absorbed the concepts of Chan and Jie schools and Taoism, possessing the power of cause and effect, and encompassing both Mahayana and Hinayana Buddhism, reaching an extremely high level. However, the drawback is that "enlightenment" is extremely difficult to achieve. One can easily go astray, be invaded by inner demons, and become a demon. Even Buddha himself created a demon king.

Therefore, the risk is too high. It's simpler to just raise funds and use the funds directly.

Li Wei kept recalling the similarities, differences, advantages, and disadvantages of the three cultivation methods, and thus gained a deeper understanding of the path to the Great Luo realm, the path of destiny and fortune.

[By gathering good fortune, one can attain enlightenment!]

This is the theoretical guide to the path to "Great Luo." As for the specifics of how to gather fortune, that depends on what techniques I can use, that is, what kind of system of laws I can employ.

This is so hard to choose!

Because the Way of Qi, Destiny, and Change is the oldest and earliest method of cultivation, its philosophy has long been integrated into all aspects of cultivation.

So let's just say that.

Almost all the law systems in the hands of the gods of the Three Realms now come with the basic cultivation techniques of the Way of Fortune and Destiny – which constantly exert influence on the outside world!

After all, only by amplifying our external influence can we gather more global power.

I currently possess a series of laws, including the Thunder Path, the Sacred Path of Education, the Primordial Path, and the Water Path, as well as the Life Cleansing Orthodox Teaching Law System, all of which inherently meet the requirements for cultivating the Path of Qi, Destiny, and Change.

Therefore, what I need to do next is to add a system of laws that can gather fortune to these existing systems of laws!

[In this way, I can launch my system and reap the benefits of everyone's good fortune!]

Huh?
The more I look at it, the more it seems like an ordinary person starting a business.
Cultivators build themselves into a brand through continuous practice, then establish law-based base stations to create physical industrial factories, use law systems to obtain core selling points, and finally ascend to immortality by passing the market test and obtaining a prestigious title and imperial edict.

Finally, they need to list on exchanges belonging to the Buddhist, Chan, and Daoist schools, and then use their connections to reap the rewards.

tsk tsk.
It truly lives up to its reputation as a Celestial Planet; even its cultivation methods are so modern. It is a model for us all.

With this in mind, Li Wei quickly selected several law systems suitable for his situation from the secret scrolls given to him by Yang Chan.

[Take my current understanding of thunderstorms and the transformative laws of the Awakening of Insects as an example.]

[If we could acquire the Waterway's Law of Nourishing All Things and the Cloud Path's Law of Three-State Transformation, then we could activate the Thunder-Generation Fortune-Gathering Law System!]

[In the future, by controlling clouds and rain, I will be able to gather fortune. Once this fortune radiates to ten million people, I will have gathered the external fortune of ten million people, elevating myself to the realm of immortals and truly taking the first step towards the Dao!]

[If the external fortune gathers to the level of 100 million people, and the number of Law System base stations exceeds 300, and one obtains 30 portions of Wish Power Crystals to baptize oneself, one can break through the Human Immortal realm and enter the Earth Immortal realm.]

The path of fortune and destiny in the Chan and Jie paths has long been systematic, so the division between each realm is very clear and there are not many detours. But the key is fortune.

[A Human Immortal alone needs ten million units of fortune, an Earth Immortal needs one hundred million units, and the number of Celestial Immortals will increase dramatically again, requiring one billion units!]

[At the Golden Immortal realm, 10 billion portions are needed; breaking through to the Great Luo realm is even more terrifying, requiring a full trillion portions!]

hiss!
No wonder the gods are so competitive.

After all, the Three Realms are vast, but there are also many gods.

You can summon clouds and rain, and so can I. The market share in the Three Realms is only so big, and it doesn't belong to you alone. If you take a share and I take a share, naturally the market will shrink.

Moreover, cultivators who walk the path of the Great Luo need to consume borrowed external luck for fighting, healing, writing scripts, and casting secret techniques, and sometimes they may even be unable to make ends meet!

Therefore, the gods can only accumulate the luck slowly over time. Sometimes, even hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of years may not be enough to accumulate enough luck for upgrading!
Moreover, this is only borrowed external fortune, not your own fortune. To truly advance to the Great Luo realm, you must possess a share of Great Luo fortune yourself.

How to shift from external to internal transportation is more complex and cannot be explained in a few words.

So Li Wei studied for a whole week, but only managed to get a glimpse of the basics. He was extremely cautious about choosing between several law systems and couldn't make up his mind.

In the end, it was Yang Chan who enlightened him with her words.

[In fact, the path of merging Qi, destiny, and the Dao is the oldest, therefore it has the best foundation, the most numerous law systems, and the strongest adaptability and inclusiveness. You don't necessarily have to be bound by the law systems that already exist on the market.]

You can totally develop it yourself!

[After all, you possess so many loopholes in the laws, so many laws themselves; if combined, they might just create a miracle!]

[If all else fails, just close your eyes and try different combinations. Creating a suitable path is inherently a matter of luck. If you're lucky and there are many variables, you might just get a pleasant surprise!]
