Newton: Hua Nation Is Under My Little Brother's Rule

"Reincarnation!"

But when Zhou Chuan saw these words, he cried out in disbelief, "This is reincarnation!"

"Reincarnation?!"

Little Strawberry, holding the live-streaming equipment, was also quite shocked. She couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "But reincarnation... isn't it supposed to be the Six Paths? There are only five holes here..."

"Could someone have been buried?"

"And what are those ancient bridges?!"

Her question made all the viewers in the live broadcast room prick up their ears. While shocked, they listened carefully, hoping to get an explanation from Zhou Chuan.

Even the many archaeological experts present were completely bewildered.

Reincarnation...

People often Six Paths of Reincarnation, and most people know about Six Paths of Reincarnation, but why are there only five holes in front of us?

What are those bridges? Few people know.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chuan gradually calmed down and said with a stern face, "The concept of the Six Paths of Reincarnation is a Buddhist doctrine; they cultivate the next life! Daoism cultivates longevity and does not have the concept of the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

"Furthermore, Buddhism shouldn't have been introduced to our Hua Nation during the time of the First Emperor! Therefore, it couldn't be the Six Paths of Reincarnation; there were only five realms to begin with!"

"Coincidentally, Daoism has a concept of the Five Paths!"

"At this moment, the characters on the edges of these cave entrances are respectively: the God Path, the Path of Human Path, the Animal Path, the Hungry Ghost Path, and the Hell Path!"

"So it's the Five Paths of Daoism..."

Lin Fan spoke up, taking over the topic, and instantly attracted everyone's attention.

According to the Laojun Taishang Xuwu Ziran Benqi Jing,

The five paths are, in order:

One path is the way of the gods, who ascend to heaven to become God Path.

The second path is when the spirit enters the flesh and blood, and the form becomes human and divine, which is the Human Path.

The three paths refer to the spirit entering the realm of birds and beasts, becoming the spirit of birds and beasts, which is the Animal Path.

The four paths refer to the realm of hungry ghosts, where the spirit enters the Hungry Ghost Path.

The five paths refer to the spirit entering Nili, which is the name of a person in hell, and thus the Hell Path.

The "Five Paths" theory divides life into five categories: heaven, human, animal, hungry ghost, and hell, collectively known as "all living beings".

The lowest and most painful place is hell, and the highest and most peaceful place is heaven.

Gods and humans are both sentient beings, each with their own lifespan and a life cycle.

Humans occupy a position second only to Heaven in the "Five Paths," reflecting Daoism's respect for humanity and for life.

The "Five Paths" theory links human good and evil with the rewards and punishments of the Last Judgment, believing that the human spirit is the bearer of rewards and punishments for good and evil, and that if a person sins, their spirit will go to hell to be judged.

In the cycle of cause and effect, all beings are subject to the retribution of good and evil Karma. Those who cultivate virtue ascend with their good karma, while those who commit evil descend with their sins. This cycle of ascent and descent continues life after life, endlessly tormented.

If a person cannot cultivate their nature, uphold the Way, and become one with the Way, their spirit will fall into the "Five Paths" and find no rest.

"However, in Daoist teachings, the Five Paths are not a complete cycle of reincarnation."

Lin Fan murmured, looking at the six Stone Bridge: "If I'm not mistaken, the ancient characters on those six Stone Bridge should be Gold Bridge, Silver Bridge, Jade Bridge, Stone Bridge, Wood Bridge, and Bamboo Bridge, just like their respective colors!"

Six Stone Bridge: one gold, one silver, one entirely jade-colored, one grayish-white, and the remaining two are respectively the pale yellow of wood and the brownish-yellow of Bamboo Bridge...

"What you say is correct, sir!"

Zhou Chuan said, "The five paths of Daoism serve as the basis for judgment. Only when these six bridges are combined can the cycle of reincarnation be complete!"

"Gold Bridge: It is for those who have cultivated immortality, Daoism, or Buddhism during their lifetime and accumulated a great deal of merit to pass through in order to ascend to immortality or attain enlightenment."

The Silver Bridge is a passage for those who accumulate merit, good deeds, and benefit society in this life to become local deities, such as the Earth God, and enjoy the offerings of incense from the people.

Jade Bridge: It is a passage for those who have accumulated merit in this life, so that they can be reborn as powerful and wealthy people who enjoy riches and glory.

Stone Bridge: A bridge for those who have lived a life of mixed merits and demerits, to pass through, to join the common people, and to enjoy a comfortable life.

Wood Bridge: for those who have accomplished too much in this world to cross, and for the poor, sick, lonely and destitute.

The Bamboo Bridge is for those who have committed heinous crimes and are utterly wicked, allowing them to be reborn in four forms: first, as a fetus, such as a cow, dog, or pig; second, as an egg, such as a snake or chicken; third, as a louse, such as a fish, crab, or shrimp; and fourth, as a transformation, such as a mosquito, fly, or ant...

Five Paths and Six Bridges constitute the complete Daoist cycle of reincarnation!

"Therefore, what lies before us now is the cycle of reincarnation of the Five Paths and Six Bridges in Daoism!"

Zhou Chuan's expression grew even more solemn. "Could it be... that reincarnation truly exists?!"

He was shocked and had to start considering these issues.

But Lin Fan shook his head slightly and said, "Whether there is really reincarnation still needs to be investigated, but the Five Paths and Six Bridges at this moment are really just for show."

"Everything we saw before—whether it was the Underworld and the Yellow Springs, the Other Shore Flower, the Bridge of Helplessness, the Yellow Springs Road, or the Three Lives Stone —possessed extraordinary power; they were not ordinary things!"

"But at this moment, the ' Five Paths and Six Bridges ' really are just five arches and six ancient bridges."

Lin Fan had already reached a conclusion when he scanned the area with his Divine Sense. At this moment, he felt slightly disappointed, but also much more relaxed.

If reincarnation truly exists within the Underground Palace of the First Emperor's Mausoleum...

He really didn't know what to say.

The viewers in the live stream were completely dumbfounded.

"My God, that scared me to death!"

"You actually believed in reincarnation!"

"Who says there is no reincarnation? I am the First Emperor, and I have already been reincarnated. I urgently need five thousand coins for travel expenses to awaken my Terracotta Army. If I succeed, I will appoint you as Grand Marshals of the Army!"

"I have a question. Is that Gold Bridge made of real gold?"

"Nonsense! What kind of person First Emperor? A hero of all time! He was already quite unhappy that he didn't achieve true reincarnation, wasn't he? How could he possibly build a fake Gold Bridge?"

Many of the audience members were asking questions.

Little Strawberry went straight over, wiped herself with a wet wipe, and then took a bite out of the handrail of the Gold Bridge.

Then...

"Ouch!"

"Toothache!"

Little Strawberry said with tears in her eyes, "It is, it is your Gold Bridge."

Lin Fan almost burst out laughing when he saw this.

This girl...

He shook his head and smiled.

Zhou Chuan took a deep breath and said, "Let's go around!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the top of that Sky Ladder should be our final destination!"

move on.

Palaces and pavilions are clustered together.

Moreover, it is not a 'toy', but a 1:1 'real' object.

However, after more than two thousand years, most of them have become rotten and decayed...

However, most of the female figurines flanking the palaces and inside them remain 'sturdy', having survived thousands of years without much damage.

Even now, the colors still appear very distinct.

However, as air enters, these colors are gradually fading.

But this was an inevitable change. Although Zhou Chuan and the others felt sorry for them, there was nothing they could do but let it go.

weathering...

They've seen it all before in their line of work.

They traveled on without encountering anything particularly surprising.

But in fact, these palaces themselves were already extremely terrifying...

Finally, deep within the palace, beneath the Sky Ladder...

The group stopped and looked up.

The Sky Ladder stretches upwards, its number of steps indistinguishable. It resembles a staircase but is much wider, with each step being half a meter wide, and there is nothing connecting each step!

It was as if pieces of pitch-black stone slabs were floating in the air, one after another, forming a road to heaven!

"The Path to Heaven?"

"The Sky Ladder?"

Zhou Chuan and other archaeological experts and scholars were all shocked by what they saw.

Even knowing that cultivators exist in the world and having experienced a lot, all of this before my eyes violates 'physics' and science!

Why does this heavy black jade slab float in the air, and remain unchanged for over two thousand years, still retaining its original appearance?

Looking up, the Sky Ladder to heaven seemed to stretch endlessly into the vast sky and the boundless starry heavens.

At first, everyone thought it was a phantom. After all, although the azure sky seemed amazing, everyone thought that the First Emperor must have recorded the sky at that time using special means and projected it onto the underground Underground Palace in some way.

Is the Sky Ladder to heaven before us also like that?

However, practice is the sole criterion for testing truth. After pondering for a moment, Zhou Chuan stepped onto the first step of the Sky Ladder, and then he stood firmly on the step without moving an inch!

"My God, is this real? Or is it a phantom?"

The scholars exclaimed in surprise, and then became even more certain that if the First Emperor's coffin was indeed in this Underground Palace, then it must be on this Sky Ladder!

Online, both domestically and internationally, those watching the live stream were utterly astonished.

"Damn it, you guys need to come help! I'm turning in Newton grave!"

Newton: You're provoking me!

"Newton: I told you long ago, Hua Nation is not under my jurisdiction, it's up to my brother, Niubi, to call the shots!"

"This is... Mommy, I'm scared..."

On the Sky Ladder, Zhou Chuan said to Lin Fan, "It seems most likely that the First Emperor's Mausoleum's coffin is on the Sky Ladder! What do you mean, sir?"

"Let's climb the Sky Ladder."

Lin Fan nodded. "However, my opinion is that you should stay."

"I haven't been able to figure out the existence of this Sky Ladder yet. Although it should be maintained by an array, I can't say whether it's still stable after thousands of years."

"If you are going up there, I cannot guarantee your safety."

This is not Lin Fan belittling himself.

Although he is the strongest person on Earth now, everything in the First Emperor's Mausoleum is too 'exaggerated'!

And the Sky Ladder was the most mysterious place; who knew what even more astonishing things might emerge from it? He really couldn't guarantee that everything would go according to plan and that there wouldn't be any problems.

"Sir, we understand."

Zhou Chuan took a deep breath and said, "Ancient tombs, especially incredibly astonishing ones like the First Emperor's Mausoleum, must be extremely dangerous!"

"In fact, we have come this far without any casualties, all thanks to your help, sir. Otherwise, we would probably have suffered heavy losses on the Bridge of Helplessness."
