The Great Way is singular and supreme.
The so-called Three Thousand Great Paths and Ten Thousand Paths are all metaphorical terms, fragments pieced together by later generations, representing only the tip of the iceberg.
It is part of the tangible Dao. The Great Dao is boundless, immeasurably high, countless, and nearly infinite. The so-called "three thousand Great Daos" or "ten thousand Daos" are all names imposed by later generations.
"There is something undifferentiated and complete, which existed before heaven and earth. Silent and still, it stands alone and unchanging, moving in cycles without ceasing. It can be regarded as the mother of all things. I do not know its name, so I call it the Way." Qin Tian spoke softly, recounting the wisdom of the ancients.
The so-called laws of nature mean that the birth and existence of the human body are all tangible laws.
Besides the tangible path, there is also an intangible path in the world, which is more vast and magnificent, but also more difficult for cultivators to grasp.
The tangible and intangible principles overlap and combine to form the so-called "Tao," which permeates the world. It is both the principle governing the operation of heaven and earth and a profound and unfathomable law, omnipresent yet difficult to find.
What Qin Tian wanted to do was to use the tangible Dao to encompass the intangible Dao, so that the two could be combined, thereby gaining a clearer understanding of the rules of the Great Dao.
"Use your spirit to perceive the laws of heaven and earth, observe the way of heaven, act in accordance with heaven, thereby constructing a world of mind, nourishing yourself, until finally achieving oneness with heaven and man!"
All the Dao and Dharma that Qin Tian had learned in the past, and his understanding of the cultivation system, transformed into resources at this moment, propelling him to open up and establish the path of evolution.
Qin Tian meticulously considered the method for constructing the first secret realm: "Create a mental world at the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows, activate the tangible Dao representing oneself, and at the moment of creation, allow the inner and outer worlds to converge, thereby using the tangible Dao of the world between the eyebrows to capture the intangible Dao."
"When the two are combined, they can lay the foundation for practitioners and piece together a corner of the 'Tao'."
Qin Tian's ambition is immense. In the first secret realm, he will seek to understand the Great Dao, capture the tangible and intangible Dao that exists in the world, and gather a corner of the Dao to lay an indestructible foundation for himself.
"You can't be too ambitious!" Qin Tian murmured to himself. "The first step in establishing a path is to establish a purpose. The higher the purpose you establish, the higher the end of the road you can reach in the future."
"The essence of the Secret Realm Method is the microcosm of the human body."
"The purpose of my method is to grasp the tangible and intangible principles."
Qin Tian stared directly into the vast chaos, his heart surging with emotion: "As for the ultimate goal... naturally it is to master the 'Dao' of the vast universe and then 'transcend' it, to form one's own 'Dao', and to be above the Dao of Sacrifice."
The path of cultivation and evolution is about continuously evolving one's life level to break free from the constraints of the natural laws of the universe. The sun and moon may decay, but I will not; heaven and earth may perish, but I will not; I will live forever and never die!
This is the common goal of cultivators throughout the myriad realms, and also the greatest desire stemming from the instinct of life.
"My path was prepared from the very beginning."
Qin Tian touched the ancestral aperture between his eyebrows, a place he had created years ago, containing immense primordial spirit power, even slightly surpassing the Sendai realm.
"Since we have decided to open up the Niwan Palace, we should naturally look for other systems to refer to and learn from."
"Although the versions of the Primordial Era system differ, they generally adhere to the sixteen-character mantra: Refining Essence into Qi, Refining Qi into Spirit, Refining Spirit into Emptiness, and Refining Emptiness into Dao."
"Among them, the Taoist methods of the Supreme Being are the most relevant to reference."
"Both involve the convergence of internal and external landscapes, and both involve opening the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows." Qin Tian murmured to himself, "And I was also influenced by this when I chose to open the ancestral aperture between my eyebrows."
"Accumulating Qi, opening the orifices, and external vision—these three steps constitute the process of refining essence into Qi and refining Qi into spirit."
"But I took a different path, first refining the spirit and then the qi." Qin Tian murmured, "Although it is not orthodox, who can say that the unorthodox method is inferior to the orthodox one?"
"The method of one lifetime requires opening nine acupoints before advancing to the outer realm, in order to disperse the pressure generated by the convergence of the inner and outer realms when the ancestral acupoint between the eyebrows is opened."
"But I don't need it." By comparing the laws of the first life with his own thoughts, Qin Tian gradually figured out a path.
"Firstly, what I have created is a spiritual treasure trove, not the construction of countless worlds. Although there is an intersection of inner and outer landscapes, the backlash is not strong."
"Secondly, our Heaven-Covering people have amazing physical constitutions. Even though we no longer have the Blood-Moving Realm, there are still many people with extraordinary talents. Even without cultivation, it is common for them to have the strength of 10,000 jin with a single swing of their arm. It is just the aftershock generated when the Niwan Palace was opened. They can easily withstand it."
"It's nothing like the effeminate, supreme beings of the world. Even without cultivation, a person with extraordinary talent can easily beat up a supreme martial artist who has opened up their acupoints." Qin Tian was quite proud of this.
In the early stages of "The Supreme Being," it was no different from ordinary martial arts worlds; the immense strength of ten thousand jin was enough to sweep away the vast majority of cultivators in the Qi Opening stage.
Qin Tian remained silent for a moment, then exhaled a breath of stale air, his eyes deep: "The overall framework has been completed."
"Next, we should turn the framework into reality." Qin Tian closed his eyes again and entered his mental world.
A blue lotus bloomed in Qin Tian's heart. In the boundless darkness, only this thing shone with great light, reaching the heavens and the earth, and golden ripples illuminated the darkness.
The lotus in my heart resonated with the green lotus in the outside world, becoming more and more lifelike. Every lotus leaf was lush and green, and there was even morning dew accumulating on the leaves.
"The First Stage - Visualization!"
Qin Tian chose to open up minor realms step by step, and eventually integrate the minor realms into major realms, thus paving the way.
Instead of choosing to ascend to the heavens in one step like Shi Hao, which was either life or death, he was extremely fierce and directly blasted open the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm.
You must understand that the Wheel of Life Secret Realm is related to the Wheel of Life; if you are not careful, you will be reduced to ashes. It is a life-or-death struggle.
They gamble with their own destiny. If they succeed, they will be invincible. If they fail, it doesn't matter if their soul and body are destroyed. If they cannot transcend the system of that life, they are destined to be unable to turn the tide, and dying in battle is only a matter of time.
Similar to Qin Tian's current thoughts, but Shi Hao is more radical.
If he could, he would like to gradually advance the development of the Secret Realm Method, but unfortunately, time waits for no one, and he has no choice but to take a risky approach.
At this moment, Qin Tian seemed to have transformed into an ordinary mortal, contemplating the Dao diagram. Through contemplation, he approached the Dao's objects and realms, thus gradually imbuing himself with the Dao.
In this process, one's spirit will be tempered, one's will will be forged, and one will adapt to the rules of heaven and earth.
The spiritual power within the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows is accumulating and being extracted, with the three souls and seven spirits coalescing into form. Each visualization accelerates the solidification of the three souls and seven spirits.
Finally, the soul comprehended the true meaning of the Chaotic Green Lotus from this visualization, with wisps of chaotic energy entwining between the three souls and seven spirits.
One by one, chaotic symbols flowed among the three souls and seven spirits, imbuing the divine soul with a thin layer of chaotic laws.
Once this law is revealed, the soul becomes solid and immortal, far surpassing any cultivator of the same realm.
The first realm allows one to wield the power of the Great Dao.
This system is outrageously powerful in the early stages, exerting absolute suppression on cultivators who are still honing their physical bodies.
How could a martial artist who hones his own strength possibly compare to the boundless power of heaven and earth?
Of course, there are always trade-offs. Strong mental strength also means that physical strength is not very strong in the early stages, and it will be very bad if someone gets close to you.
This path, unlike the reckless path of the Heaven-Covering Warrior, is similar to the path of the Supreme Being, emphasizing meticulous operation and skillful mage techniques.
Control the heavens and the Dao!
This goal was decided before Qin Tian opened the way.
He wants to cultivate both the secret realm techniques and his own methods.
The brute force technique is sufficient; he needs a more sophisticated system to complement the secret realm technique.
The most suitable system is the one that you create yourself.
Because I will focus on developing my strengths and making up for my weaknesses.
This cultivation system allows one to wield the power of the Great Dao in the first stage.
Of course, only a few exceptional talents can accomplish such a feat.
Ordinary human beings can only imitate the Great Dao Diagram to enhance their spiritual power and perceive their own three souls and seven spirits.
"Visualize the gathering of the three souls and seven spirits, strengthen the divine soul, and even in the end, use the power of the Great Dao to cleanse the divine soul, making it firm and unyielding."
"Is this the foundation of my system?" Qin Tian: "A divine treasure belonging to the spiritual level."
You'll know by looking at the secret realm method.
As a cultivation system created by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor based on his own body as a seed, it is definitely a physical cultivation system, a brute among brutes, and it can be ranked among the top brutes in all the heavens and myriad worlds.
However, this cultivation system, at the human level, comprises a total of five secret realms.
The first four secret realms can only be considered as one major realm.
However, one of the Sendai Secret Realms contains as many as seven or eight major realms.
One Sendai Secret Realm is more than twice the size of the four major secret realms.
This shows how rich one's spiritual resources are.
Therefore, Qin Tian's creation of the method was aimed directly at the spiritual treasure from the very beginning, in order to tap into this potential.
"The way of Heaven is like stretching a bow. It lowers what is high and raises what is low; it reduces what is excessive and supplements what is insufficient. The way of Heaven is to reduce the excessive and supplement the insufficient. The way of man is not so; it reduces the insufficient to serve the excessive."
"Once the spiritual treasure is opened, it can absorb the essence of the outside world to nourish the three souls and seven spirits." As Qin Tian spoke, the three souls and seven spirits began to continuously absorb the spiritual energy of heaven, strengthening themselves while also sublimating the Niwan Palace and exploring the potential of the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows.
"The three souls take form: the first is the refreshing spirit, the second is the embryonic essence, and the third is the hidden essence!"
As Qin Tian's voice fell, the three souls, now fully nourished, burst forth from the Niwan Palace, representing wisdom, spirituality, and desire.
"There are seven souls, each with a name. The first soul is called Corpse Dog, the second soul is called Hidden Arrow, the third soul is called Sparrow Shade, the fourth soul is called Devourer of Thieves, the fifth soul is called Non-Poison, the sixth soul is called Purifying Filth, and the seventh soul is called Stinky Lung." As soon as Qin Tian finished speaking, the seven souls appeared in the world, each with its own shape, looking strange and bizarre.
At this moment, the sound of supreme scriptures resounded in Qin Tian's heart, coming from the Azure Lotus Dao Diagram, rumbling endlessly. It was the rule, which transformed into light and into a vast ocean, illuminating the universe in his heart, shining with unparalleled brilliance.
The sound of the scriptures gradually tempered his three souls and seven spirits. His three souls and seven spirits were already incredibly powerful, and he had already tapped into this potential when he partially opened the ancestral aperture between his eyebrows.
As Qin Tian's life level evolved, his potential also gradually increased.
At this moment, the three souls and seven spirits became even more dazzling, and the light of the divine soul was blinding. The ever-changing primordial spirit power of the past gradually gathered into a ball, and finally transformed into a point of pure yin that fell into the visualized blue lotus.
"The three souls and seven spirits unite to transform into the Yin spirit."
Accompanied by Qin Tian's words.
Flowers bloom and fade, but I am there when they bloom!
A Yin deity sat upright in a lotus flower, holding a wish-fulfilling jewel in his hand. The jewel was layered upon layered, chaotic and boundless, as if it were before the beginning of time, radiating a pure and free precious light.
The Yin spirit has an illusory form, can leave the Niwan Palace, travel thousands of miles at night, and can mobilize the primordial energy of heaven and earth for its own use, unleashing various mysterious killing techniques.
"This god is the god of the self, and also a deity on the spiritual level."
"It is... Yin God!" Qin Tian's clear voice rang out, causing waves to surge in the chaos of the heavens. His voice pierced through the chaos and faintly echoed in the outside world.
"The Dao has purity and turbidity, movement and stillness; Heaven is pure and Earth is turbid, Heaven moves and Earth is still; Man is pure and woman is turbid, Man moves and woman is still; From the root to the branches, all things are born. Purity is the source of turbidity, movement is the foundation of stillness; If man can always be pure and still, Heaven and Earth will all return to him."
"Now that the Yin spirit is here, the next step is naturally to nurture the Yang spirit!"
"The transformation of Yin and Yang, turning the illusory into the real, further expands potential." Qin Tian realized his idea step by step: "Once the Yang God emerges, the ethereal spirit has a basis, which can interfere with the operation of the universe and intercept the torrent of creation. Reaching this stage, one can absorb the essence of the heavens to temper oneself and lay the foundation for the convergence of inner and outer realms."
All those previous remarks were jokes; Qin Tian couldn't possibly allow someone to directly face the intersection of inner and outer worlds without tempering their physique.
Not everyone is gifted enough to withstand the convergence of inner and outer landscapes without dying or getting hurt.
Evolutionary paths generally have universal applicability.
In the early stages, cultivators of the Heaven-Covering Realm do not need to create a separate secret realm to hone their physical bodies. They only need enough life essence to strengthen their bodies to an outrageous degree.
"The third minor realm, the transformation of yin into yang, is undoubtedly best achieved by using heavenly lightning as a catalyst."
Thunder is the pivot of Yin and Yang, the purest and most masculine energy in the universe. Using it as the foundation to transform Yin and Yang is naturally the most superior method.
As the pioneer, Qin Tian's cultivation had already reached the Transcendent Realm, so he could naturally mobilize heavenly lightning to transform his Yang God.
But others wouldn't be able to do it. If they saw that the second step of this system required them to withstand heavenly lightning, they would probably be so frightened that they would immediately switch to another path.
“Cultivators at this level cannot withstand the power of heavenly lightning. If the Yin spirit comes into direct contact with the Yang lightning, it will only end up being reduced to ashes.”
"How can we plug this loophole?!"
Qin Tian was deep in thought, and the secret techniques he had learned in the past surfaced one by one.
"Source Technique!"
A look of understanding flashed in Qin Tian's eyes as he integrated his knowledge of Origin Techniques into his cultivation method: "Using the pure Yin terrain, on a thunderstorm in early spring, when a bolt of Yang lightning pierces the sky..."
"By feeling a bit of pure yang in a yin place, you can break the rhythm of extreme yin and use this as an opportunity to shed the yin impurities and obtain a bit of pure yang."
"Then he entered the Azure Netherworld again, absorbing the supreme Yang energy scattered between heaven and earth after the thunderstorm, and completely transformed into a Yang God."
"Thus, the third realm is achieved: the Yang Spirit is complete!"
After deducing the method for ordinary people to cultivate Yang spirit, Qin Tian began his own cultivation to transform Yin into Yang.
As Qin Tian had a thought, chaos was created, the innate Yin and Yang energies circulated, evolving into the Yin-Yang pivot, and a bolt of chaotic divine lightning appeared.
The almost tangible Yin spirit directly absorbed the energy of the thunder, transforming into a trace of pure Yang.
As the chaotic divine lightning continued to merge into the Yin God, that point of pure Yang rapidly spread throughout the entire Yin God, shedding the Yin residue.
The next moment, a white, radiant divine soul appeared above the Azure Lotus Chaos.
Golden and white, gathering and dispersing without form, the sun rises and the moon sets as the yang spirit turns, with tortoises and snakes coiling around each other. Seemingly illusory, yet solid in reality, it is as if a god has descended to earth, radiating billions of rays of light.
"Yin alone cannot produce, and Yang alone cannot grow. This is the evolution of Taiji, the transformation of Yin and Yang, which is in accordance with the principles of the Great Dao!" Qin Tian looked at the incomparably profound Yang God and said with great satisfaction.
"Then what follows is truly the beginning of a new era."
"With the opening of the ancestral aperture between my eyebrows, the inner and outer landscapes converge, thus building a bridge to draw upon the power of heaven and earth to cleanse myself. By leveraging the myriad spiritual mechanisms, I can achieve my first evolution of life level on the path of cultivation." Qin Tian exhaled a long breath.
This is the final step, and also the most crucial one.
Only by taking this step can one integrate the first three minor realms, transforming them into a secret realm, and truly forging one's own path of evolution!
