Chapter 712 - 517: Bai Ze Inheritance (Part 3)
At this moment.
Qin Ping’an tightly closed his eyes, surrounded by swirling light, using his own emotions as a guide, connecting with the awareness of all beings between heaven and earth:
"One thought arises, a hundred illusions come to life~"
Love and hate turned into clouds, obsession formed peaks, longing became rivers, no longer the empty façade of illusion, rootless duckweed, but the embodiment of emotions.
Every inch of illusion hid the true meaning of emotion in the heart.
Mountains, beings, and time all operated according to feelings, with the creatures within the illusion born with awareness, gradually gaining intelligence, not puppet illusions.
The inheritance of Bai Ze’s heart-guarding and illusion-breaking effect was even more wondrous.
The path of the illusory heart is most perilous in ’taking illusion for reality,’ a slight careless move could lead to obsession and madness, drowning in the illusion, destroying the Dao Heart.
Even falling into illusion oneself!
Yet Bai Ze’s fundamental wisdom, like a sun of enlightenment, hangs suspended in Qin Ping’an’s sea of consciousness, breaking through the falsehood at all times.
When his realm is insufficient, discernment and wisdom guard the heart constantly, clearly delineating the boundary between ’Heart’s Illusion Heaven’ and ’Real Universe.’
"Know the illusion without being confused, witness the illusion without being submerged, always taking illusion as a path, not trapped within it."
When his cultivation deepens, he can break the boundary, understand the supreme truth of ’Illusion is real, reality is illusion.’
"The Illusion Heaven exists because of emotion, true feelings condense the illusion into reality, there is no division between the two."
The swirling light condensed suddenly, the Heart’s Illusion Heaven slowly unfolded, mountains and rivers scattered, spirit shadows loomed... every life shadow within Nanzhou Ancient City contained emotional resonance.
Bai Ze’s feather lamp flowed down, integrating into his body, making the Illusion Heaven more solid, the Dao Heart even more firm.
He slowly opened his eyes, illusion light and enlightenment light intertwined in his gaze, muttering to himself:
"Extreme emotion, extreme Dao, illusion born and extinguished... I walk my path!"
...
Time flies.
Heavenly Sword Mountain, within the sword forest.
Chen Sheng’s true body held the Sword Order, replacing the main battle incarnation, and sat here.
In front of him floated a simple and unadorned long sword, without a sheath or script, the sword’s spine faintly revealed star river patterns, seemingly blunt and clumsy, yet slightly collapsing the surrounding space-time.
Within it was a complete, pure to the extreme Sword Great Dao.
Chen Sheng sat cross-legged, his will probing into the sword for an instant, and was pulled into a vast and boundless ’Sword Universe.’
Endless flying swords filled the universe...
There were inch-long green blades, giant swords thousands of feet tall, Daoist Swords that could split Yin and Yang, fierce swords that could devour stars.
No distinction between good and evil, no rank or status!
Only following one iron law: fighting, killing, devouring, competing.
In this place, Chen Sheng transformed into a newly born flying sword, without edge or brilliance, yet was drawn into an endless Killing Array.
Zheng!
Zheng!
Sword cries were melodious!
Every clash was extreme slaughter, every fracture was loss of essence.
The surrounding flying swords were relentlessly fearless, each strike a decisive kill, no compromise, no maneuver, only survive by victory, perish by defeat!
This is a cruel path like nurturing gu:
Either shatter the sword in battle, losing the Dao, or cut through countless sword shadows, devouring every blade of brilliance, forging the ultimate Sword Dao.
Chen Sheng’s will slashed and maneuvered in the sword realm, yet his heart remained clear:
"This is the path of the Sword Cultivator!"
"No distractions, no stray thoughts, not relying on external things, no dependence on cunning techniques, only breaking through with sharpness, proving the Great Dao."
Chen Sheng’s thoughts spread open, in the vast sword forest, countless Great Daos, his ideas were extremely pragmatic:
"Martial Arts and Array Dao have both reached the seventh-tier Domain, now further advancement requires painstaking effort, gradually returning to the ordinary stream."
"Remaining Sword Dao and Blood Dao, if they can break through the seventh tier in one move, understanding the Law will surely trigger an explosive growth in the true body’s cultivation."
Previously, Chen Sheng rapidly entered the ’Integration Second Step Perfection,’ precisely by leveraging the seventh-tier Law of Array Dao, transforming Small Thousand World with arrays, completing himself, and skyrocketing Dao attainment!
Now, Sword Dao is the shortcut he chooses next.
"Furthermore, the ’Xuanpin Tongtian Sword Register’ also needs the sword as the guideline, once the Sword Dao Law is established, the power of Sword Register overturns heaven and earth.
This is his absolute advantage with four great talents at the Tianjiao level.
Dharma Masters of All Heavens mostly specialize in one path, often exhausting a lifetime to comprehend another Law across boundaries, yet failing at the end.
But Chen Sheng is different, he precisely understands the strengths of his talents, chooses the path easiest to break through and best to replenish the true body, advancing step by step, consecutively understanding the Laws of Martial Arts, Array Dao, Sword Dao, and Blood Dao.
With multiple paths running parallel, pushing cultivation to ascend rapidly like thunder.
Within the Sword Order, the ancient long sword suddenly erupted with billions of Sword Lights, enveloping Chen Sheng’s true body, illuminating the Dharma Seed.
He sat like stone, his will still battling in the sword realm.
In the next instant, a clear sword cry broke through the heavens in the sword realm.
Zheng!
His will entered the rainbow, shattered the ten thousandth same-tier sword shadow, devouring its edge, the sword spine emitting the first golden radiance.
Peerless sharpness, forged from this moment.
