Lu Yang naturally did not understand the [Great Dream of Eternity Scripture].
But he understood Unity of Ten Thousand Hearts very well, and had abundant experience with it.
In his view, Miao Le's [Great Dream of Eternity Scripture] shared the same marvelous essence as the World Honored One's Unity of Ten Thousand Hearts. Of course, their true natures were only superficially alike.
Miao Le's true form was a strange beast known as [Great One].
This strange beast consisted of countless different consciousnesses. Every consciousness possessed its own will, yet obeyed the collective's decisions.
In terms of the final result, the effect it produced closely resembled the World Honored One's Unity of Ten Thousand Hearts, but their cores were utterly different. Unity of Ten Thousand Hearts truly held only the World Honored One's single will—he alone reigned supreme. Yet [Great One] did not even possess the concept of "I"; it existed in the form of a colony.
This reminded Lu Yang of something else.
Qi-Eating Insects.
A spell passed down by the Spell Dao, yet existing in biological form. It likewise had the concepts of a mother insect and offspring insects, and likewise existed as a swarm.
Of the Three Foundations, the Spell Dao has the most methods.
The Spell Dao excels most at taking Heaven and Earth as its model. If nothing unexpected happened, Qi-Eating Insects were created by Spell Dao cultivators who drew inspiration from Miao Le's true form.
With that thought, Lu Yang's mind grew increasingly clear.
No wonder it created something like the Dream Dao.
Its true form is a cluster of consciousnesses. Its nature is inherently tied to the Dao Heart and consciousness. Rather, Empty Attainment's Dream Dao took the wrong path.
It should have proven the Dao through the Dao Heart!
Why had it not?
