Daoist Master raised his brows slightly at Dong Xuanzi's words and said with a smile, "Why have you suddenly taken an interest in studying the Nirvana Great Dao?"
Dong Xuanzi smiled. "I cultivated the Taiyi Great Dao, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to make any further progress, so advancing to a higher realm is out of the question. I heard someone mention the Nine Dao Verification, and, thinking that the Nirvana Great Dao was the most difficult to cultivate, I wanted to give it a try myself. Your attainments in this Dao are the highest, so I wanted to ask whether you have cultivated it."
"I see."
Daoist Master smiled. "I have indeed cultivated this Great Dao, but whether it can be called perfect remains unknown."
Dong Xuanzi was puzzled. "I heard that the Nine Dao Verification can make the nine Great Daos cycle endlessly. If the Nirvana Great Dao can't cycle endlessly, then how can it be verified?"
Daoist Master furrowed his brows slightly, looked at him deeply, and said with a smile, "Who told you this?"
Dong Xuanzi's face was wreathed in smiles. "I merely heard someone mention it and happened to recall it, so I wanted to seek your guidance. As for who that person was, it was too long ago—I've forgotten. Daoist Master, if the Nirvana Great Dao can't cycle endlessly, how can it be verified?"
Daoist Master said, "Even if it cannot cycle endlessly, it can still be verified. One need only observe a universe entering nirvana—from tribulation and fate, to slaughter, and then to nirvana—to comprehend the mysteries of the Nirvana Great Dao."
Dong Xuanzi shook his head. "Daoist Master, that isn't quite true."
Daoist Master was surprised. "What part isn't true?"
"You said that one should observe a universe entering nirvana.
