Chapter 1406 Shaping the Dao
Chapter 1406 Shaping the Dao
“You’re quite knowledgeable, kid. I’ve already converted my immortal essence into divine essence, and we’re currently in the God Realm.” Lu Chen looked at Xiao Qiu with slight surprise, not expecting that he could sense his changes.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qiu and Xiao Jinshen's eyes immediately lit up with curiosity and longing. Although they enjoyed endless resources and a peaceful life in this golden pearl world, they inevitably felt bored after a while.
"Boss, do you think you could take us out to see the world?" Little Golden Ginseng asked first, his voice filled with undisguised anticipation.
Xiao Qiu chimed in, "Yeah, boss, we also want to see what the God Realm is like."
Lu Chen smiled slightly upon hearing their request, a sly glint in his eyes. "Sure," he said casually, "The reason I entered the Golden Pearl World was because I was trapped in a desperate situation. Since you have such a request, then I can use you to scout ahead."
After hearing Xiao Jin's words, and seeing Lu Chen's aged face, Xiao Jin was startled and quickly stepped back a distance.
In his panic, Xiao Qiu had a sudden inspiration and hurriedly said, "Little Golden Ginseng, hasn't your so-called Immortal Spirit Grass been fertilized yet?" After saying that, he even winked at it.
Little Golden Ginseng, understanding immediately, exclaimed, "Right, right, I almost forgot about that! Come on, thank goodness you reminded me in time, Brother Qiu, let's go take a look!"
"Let's go!" Xiao Qiu grinned.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Qiu and Xiao Jinshen disappeared from the spot in a flash, their speed so fast that it seemed as if they were afraid that if they were a step slower, Lu Chen would throw them out as cannon fodder.
Watching the two lively characters hurriedly leave, Lu Chen couldn't help but smile. He was just joking.
Afterwards, Lu Chen sorted out his thoughts, and with a flash, he entered the Sky Tower of Time.
On the ninth floor of the Sky Tower of Time, Lu Chen sat cross-legged on the Yin-Yang fish pattern. He then took out the storage bag that the leader of the Great Wilderness Tribe had given him, and from it took out a Star Frost Time Fruit that emitted a faint golden light.
This fruit is not only unique in appearance, but also contains boundless power.
However, what puzzled Lu Chen was that since that old guy wanted to make him a scapegoat to distract the blue-robed cultivator, why didn't he give him an empty storage bag? Instead, he gave him such a precious Starfrost Time Fruit. Was it to compensate him? Would he be so kind?
After pondering for a moment, Lu Chen shook his head, deciding to stop dwelling on the issue. His priority right now was to attempt Dao Shaping and improve his strength in order to resolve his current predicament.
So, Lu Chen took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and began to circulate the Chaos Dao Life Technique, while also activating the Sky Time Tower.
As the Chaos Dao Life Technique was activated, a faint halo gradually appeared around Lu Chen's body.
After everything was ready, Lu Chen put the fist-sized Starfrost Time Fruit into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then swallowed it.
In an instant, a powerful force surged from his abdomen and spread rapidly throughout his body, as if countless scorching rivers were surging within him.
Lu Chen felt as if his body was on fire, every cell cheering and absorbing the energy from the Starfrost Time Fruit.
At the same time, his consciousness gradually broke free from the constraints of his body and entered a broader and deeper world.
In this world, there is no concept of time, nor are there any spatial limitations. All around is emptiness, occasionally punctuated by twinkling starlight, like the most brilliant stars in the night sky.
Lu Chen found himself standing in a vast and boundless starry sky, the ground beneath his feet composed of countless points of light, each representing a different law and power.
Suddenly, a gentle voice rang in his ear: "Why have you come?"
Lu Chen stopped and looked around, but saw no one. He understood that this was a natural sound from heaven and earth, testing his understanding of the Great Dao.
“I came here for myself,” Lu Chen answered frankly, “and to protect myself and the people around me.”
The voice was silent for a moment, then said, "The Dao does not only come from the outside world, but also from the awakening of the heart. You must understand that a true strong person is not only one who possesses great power, but more importantly, one who has a heart that can shape the Dao."
For a moment, Lu Chen was slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized what was going on.
Based on the analysis and derivation of the Chaos Dao Genesis Technique, Lu Chen understood what "Shaping the Dao" meant.
"Shaping the Dao" is a profound realm of cultivation, representing a cultivator's deep understanding and control over the laws of heaven and earth and the laws of nature.
Shaping the Tao means more than just increasing power; it means gaining insight into and understanding the truth of the universe.
Through the process of shaping the Dao, cultivators can elevate their cultivation to a new level, achieving the state of condensing the Dao Seed and constructing the Dao Foundation.
The core of the path of cultivation lies in "shaping," which means that cultivators need to find a path that suits them based on their own talents, experiences, and environment, and then continuously explore and deepen their understanding along that path.
This involves not only exploring one's own inner potential, but also understanding and adapting to the external world.
Therefore, the path to enlightenment is a process that requires both inner and outer cultivation, demanding that the practitioner possess extremely high wisdom, perseverance, and a thirst for truth.
After realizing this, Lu Chen felt as if he had been reborn, and his mind became clearer and more transparent.
Amidst his anxieties and uncertainties, his consciousness continued its journey along the path of the stars, gradually experiencing an unprecedented tranquility and harmony.
This feeling was like a gentle stream, nourishing his parched heart and allowing him to experience the infinite possibilities of life.
As Lu Chen ventured deeper into this mysterious area, he discovered that the surrounding scenery was also subtly changing.
The once dazzling starry sky gradually became blurred, replaced by a hazy glow.
Within this radiance, one can vaguely see some strange symbols and patterns, which resemble pulsating life veins, full of vitality and energy.
Lu Chen knew that these symbols represented the laws and principles of heaven and earth, and were also the key to shaping the Dao.
He calmed down and carefully observed the changes in each symbol, trying to find the secret within them.
As time went by, Lu Chen gradually discovered that these seemingly chaotic symbols actually had some kind of internal connection. They intertwined and influenced each other, forming a huge and complex system.
To better understand this system, Lu Chen began to imitate the movements of these symbols, synchronizing his aura with them.
With each breath, he could feel a new power surging into his body, and this power grew stronger and stronger, almost overwhelming him.
However, Lu Chen did not back down. On the contrary, he faced the challenge head-on and bravely confronted this surging power.
He knew that only by thoroughly mastering these principles could he truly achieve his goal of shaping the Tao.
After countless efforts and attempts, Lu Chen finally found a breakthrough. When he successfully linked all the symbols together and formed a complete cycle, the entire space suddenly burst into a dazzling light.
Immediately afterwards, an invisible force converged from all directions and poured into his body.
At this moment, Lu Chen felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment. He knew that he had completed the process of shaping his Dao.
When Lu Chen opened his eyes again, he found himself still sitting on the ninth floor of the Sky Time Tower.
However, he was no longer the same person he used to be. His eyes held a newfound composure and confidence, as if nothing in the world could shake his will.
Looking back on this wondrous experience between consciousness and reality, Lu Chen was filled with emotion…
