Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.
Chapter 685 How Vast is Jiang Hao's Sea of Suffering?
The true spirit hangs high, the legend is complete, overlooking all the heavens, the self and others are born and die with the universe, the foundation of immortality has been forged.
Even with such supreme power, it was still like a rootless duckweed floating on the sea of suffering, without any initiative or ability to resist.
Because at this stage of the legend, most people's paths to enlightenment were still relatively fragmented, and they had not yet been fully unified.
Generally speaking, ambitious and strong individuals are omnipotent, which makes them even stronger in the later stages of life. They possess multiple abilities simultaneously, including physical body, primordial spirit, space, destruction, and other principles.
Each one possesses countless supernatural powers and is unparalleled in killing, capable of dominating all the heavens. However, wood is ultimately just wood; without being fused together, it cannot be used to build the Bitter Sea Boat for crossing the sea.
Therefore, the first step to unlocking the door to creation is to bring all laws together and unify the Great Dao.
One must gather all the martial arts principles and supernatural truths one has come to understand in one's life, and seek within oneself to find a unique path that aligns with one's true nature and the circumstances of one's life.
This path was not created by the heavens and earth, nor was it left behind by ancient sages and worthies. Rather, it was forged from all one's own experiences and the convictions of one's Dao.
In other words, one must understand one's own unique Dao, one's own true Dao.
Within the entire universe, there is no one else who can replicate this level of strength; the path of every powerful individual who reaches this level is unique.
All the myriad scattered laws have transformed into branches and extensions of this path; every flower and leaf originates from the same root.
It has not yet been solidified into a real and indestructible law of heaven and earth. It exists within the true spirit, seemingly both real and unreal, hence it is called the illusory Great Dao.
Once this path is mastered, it becomes the vessel for navigating the sea of suffering, the foundation for entering the realm of creation.
But this step is also an insurmountable chasm that the legend of perfection can never cross in its entire life.
The boundless supernatural powers acquired through years of arduous cultivation have long been imprinted on the true spirit. The heart is unwilling to relinquish them and is reluctant to weaken its own fighting strength; this is the first layer of inner demons.
Moreover, even if one is determined to sever the side branches, one cannot see one's true nature and blindly imitates the great path of other powerful figures. This is merely a superficial imitation with an empty foundation, and one cannot withstand the erosion of the sea of suffering. This is the second difficulty.
There is another barrier, coming from countless other beings in the heavens.
The legend is complete, and each of the myriad worlds has its own projection. Different universes have slightly different circumstances, and each gives rise to subtle biases in the laws of nature.
When the Great Dao returns to oneness, it is necessary to unify the Daoist understanding of all others and self, so that billions of projections are of one mind and one path. If there is any contradiction between the concepts of others and self, the Daoist mind will be torn apart, and the path to oneness will collapse directly.
This hurdle is actually quite difficult to overcome. Don't be fooled by how easily Jiang Hao passed it; he was Jiang Hao.
Even after overcoming countless difficulties and dangers to finally condense the illusory Great Dao, it still has to undergo invisible trials.
This book was first published on 2009.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.
That illusory Great Dao was still in its infancy, as fragile as a candle flame in the wind. If one's spirit were to slightly touch the torrent of the sea of suffering, one would have to endure the erosion of time and karma, causing the Dao body to tremble and cracks to appear. If it were to falter even slightly, the Great Dao, forged over half a lifetime, would instantly collapse, and years of arduous cultivation would be in vain.
All one can do is gaze at the vast, desolate sea of suffering and let out a long sigh.
The sea of suffering is boundless, and the Way is the only boat. To build even this small boat is the most difficult thing in the world.
Enlightenment is something like that—mysterious and unpredictable.
The path of cultivation is never smooth sailing. To become stronger, one must make efforts and pay a price, and one must fight desperately.
Every cultivation method requires effort and hard work; there is no cultivation method that allows you to become stronger while lying down.
Unless it's something like the sign-in system in the stories Jiang Hao read in his previous life, which is the easiest way to get something for nothing, but that's just a story. There aren't that many good things in the cultivation world.
It could also be a case of a powerful figure fishing for you or a powerful figure reworking your skills, creating a cheat code for yourself.
Don't even think about anything else, which is why countless people die during the cultivation process with any cultivation method.
However, people continued to cultivate and join, just like the Dao Fruit Method. Jiang Hao explained it clearly to them, but all the powerful figures in the Origin Realm chose to cultivate it.
"If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening." This is the sentiment of those who seek the Way.
In terms of the Dao Fruit Method, Jiang Hao's advantage far surpasses everyone else's. The Dao Fruit Method is the supreme Dao he created himself, developed from nothing to something, deduced layer by layer, and perfected step by step. All the settings were created by him personally.
It can be said that no one understands the Dao Fruit Dharma better than him. After all three conditions for enlightenment are met, there is still one last hurdle: passing through the exclusive tribulation of creation.
The moment one is about to condense the illusory Great Dao, it will trigger a backlash from all the heavens, bringing forth a unique calamity of creation.
The calamity stems from the triple backlash of the River of Time, the Eternal Sea of Suffering, and the Great Dao of All Heavens, making it extremely dangerous.
Only by enduring hardship can one shed the shackles of legend and truly become a master of creation.
If you can't withstand it, your path will collapse, your destiny will end, and everything will return to nothing.
After reviewing all the rules for breaking the rules, Jiang Hao had a complete understanding.
For others, every step they take to break through their limitations is an insurmountable chasm, and every obstacle is a dead end.
But his foundation was too solid and his path too perfect. All the hard conditions were met ahead of time, leaving only the final step of personally proving the Dao, crossing the sea of suffering, condensing the Great Dao, and passing the Heavenly Tribulation!
"Things will be much better after I advance to the Creation Realm. Both my exploration of time and my use of the power of the Sea of Bitterness will be greatly enhanced."
"Although the Creation Realm is still struggling to cross the sea of suffering, at least it can move around in the sea of suffering and make use of its power."
Jiang Hao thought of the heavens beyond the stars, and of the Great Emperor of the Strange Clan. Only when he reached this point could he no longer be considered an ant and have any capital to resist.
As for the Supreme Holy Realm, Jiang Hao never considered it an opponent; he would wait until he broke through.
He will show all the worlds what a numerical addition mechanism is all about.
Even those at the same level as Jiang Hao would be easily manipulated by him.
"The sea of suffering..."
Although the concept of "suffering sea" exists in the context of "taking the body as a seed," the two concepts of "suffering sea" are vastly different and not the same thing at all.
The Bitter Sea Realm, which uses the body as a seed, is simply a divine power source called Bitter Sea within the body, literally meaning a river.
It's just an internal sea of suffering that tempers oneself, toughens one's flesh and blood, and breaks through one's own self-imposed constraints.
Jiang Hao's so-called "Sea of Bitterness" in the Creation Realm is an abstract concept, similar to the Milky Way, which is also a river.
It is the sea of suffering for all sentient beings, the sea of suffering in time and space, the sea of suffering caused by karma...
Therefore, although the method of taking one's own body as a seed has the realm of suffering, it has not actually explored the legendary sea of suffering.
Using one's own body as a method is truly fitting. It mainly explores one's own potential and emphasizes using force to overcome all methods. Whatever this or that, take my punch first.
"As expected of the Honey Badger Fa, he'll fight anyone who dares to challenge you. Luckily, I'm here for you."
Jiang Hao remarked that the Chaotic Ancient Heavenly Emperor was also a brute, "No wonder he came from a primitive tribe, fighting and eating all the way."
"But now it's all right, I'm here to make up for the shortcomings."
Jiang Hao nodded in satisfaction. The man of supreme wisdom had arrived. You must know, he was an undergraduate from Earth, and his academic background far surpassed that of these brutes.
Calming his mind, Jiang Hao began to earnestly try to feel the mysterious sea of suffering within him.
Combining his knowledge of Earth from his previous life with his experience of cultivation throughout countless ages in this life, Jiang Hao has a profound understanding of the Sea of Suffering that far surpasses that of cultivators in the heavens.
The sea of suffering for mortals consists of the seven emotions and six desires, birth, aging, sickness and death, and the hardships of life.
The sea of suffering for cultivators is the shackles of realms, the confusion of the Great Dao, the destruction of eras, the inability to attain the Dao, and the difficulty of achieving immortality.
The sea of suffering, corresponding to creation, encompasses all struggles, obsessions, joys and sorrows, and all depravity in the world.
In Jiang Hao's perception, the sea of suffering he was about to cross was vast beyond measure!
Different people see the sea of suffering differently, because the sea of suffering is also similar to the path.
Jiang Hao's Sea of Bitterness completely encompasses all the heavens and myriad realms, including the realms above the heavens!
In fact, it also includes countless other heavens of chaos, and all endless time and space are contained within it.
It's just that Jiang Hao's strength is currently insufficient, and he hasn't seen the other heavens, so he can't forcibly include and reveal them.
"But it doesn't matter. We can improve it again when we go to other realms."
Jiang Hao wasn't in a hurry; his sea of suffering had already reached its limit at this stage.
But the suffering he is currently enduring is already terrifying beyond imagination.
It is important to know that a single primordial life-bearing planet has nurtured billions of beings, with generations coming and going, and countless people struggling and sinking in a sea of suffering throughout their lives.
The hundreds of millions here is just a figure of speech, not a concrete number. In fact, a single life-bearing planet has more than a trillion living beings. So how many living beings would there be in the entire Origin Realm?
In the vast universe, the Origin Realm is not even a drop in the ocean, like a drop of water thrown into the sea.
Beyond that, there is an even larger boundary sea and the highest heavens.
What a terrifying number! It's practically infinity.
"Boom!"
The deep, vast sound of the waves overflowed from the depths of nothingness, but this was not a sound that could be heard; rather, it directly struck the true spirit—it was the sound of the primordial spirit!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao looked up and saw the boundless, endless ocean that encompassed all time and space—the Sea of Bitterness!
