Understand my way

It's been long enough; Li Fan needs to prepare for enlightenment.

What happened in the last fifty years that made him want to attain enlightenment?

In reality, Li Fan hasn't done any serious storyline in the past fifty years; he's just been focusing on leveling up...

After all, things are in complete chaos right now. All sorts of old monsters who had been in seclusion have come out of the mountains, and even Nascent Divine Transformation can't just wander around aimlessly. Li Fan understood this last time at Yuntai Peak; he couldn't get involved at all, couldn't catch up with low-health monsters, and couldn't steal any kills. He fought for ages but lost a bunch of resources, resulting in a negative return! And the extraterrestrial immortal and demon fleets keep spawning wave after wave. This is really killing me!

So Li Fan also settled down and focused on leveling up.

So there's really not much to say about these past fifty years. Studying, cultivating, farming, discussing the mysteries of the human body with my Dao Companion —what's there to say...?

In short, if you get stuck on a level, level up first; if you get stuck on a monster, farm for equipment. After years of training, Li Fan has once again mastered his divine skills and is about to attain enlightenment and leave the mountain. That's basically it.

Of course, unlike normal people, Li Fan's problem isn't about 'comprehending some Dao,' but rather 'which Dao to comprehend.'

Okay, actually, people who even consider the question of 'enlightenment' are not exactly normal. But cases like Li Fan's, where enlightenment isn't a matter of ability but rather a matter of desire, are quite rare.

But Li Fan actually grasped quite a lot of the Dao.

First, during the first ten years of his seclusion, the Blood God Child's clone devoured hundreds of thousands of demon gods, becoming the first Blood God Child to advance from the Divine Transformation Blood God Child stage to the Enlightened Dao stage!

Hmm... or rather, the Blood God Child...

Of course, at that time, Li Fan was still concerned about the company, and the reconnaissance ship of the Mood System had only just entered the Solar System, so he was really unsure of himself. After all, Blood God Child was good at surviving, but his combat power was really nothing special. Zhang Dali was blown to bits in front of him with a single shot, and a Dao Enlightenment cultivator couldn't even beat a cruiser? What trash! Thumbs down!

Moreover, as Li Fan approached enlightenment, he sensed that the Blood God Child he had snatched from Lu Ya had only comprehended the 'Way of Survival,' which was even inferior to the 'Way of Immortality' of the Blood God's Great Dao Body, and far inferior to the 'Way of Evolution' of the Organic Dao Body that Li Fan had designed.

Since he looked down on the Blood God Child Great Law, a super-weakened and simplified version, Li Fan naturally played it safe, suppressing the Blood God Child clone's realm and continuing to improve and refine his self-created Organic Great Dao Technique, without being in a hurry to break through.

To prevent the Blood God Child from losing control and breaking through, Li Fan threw his clone back to the moon. While the Blood Pool sealed the Beast Mother, he studied and modified the flesh and blood of the 'Beast Mother Devil Embryo', provided data to the Organic Dao Body, and developed a lunar base to serve as an experimental base for the system's hidden spaceship, and studied the captured Security Bureau chips.

After another ten years of seclusion, Li Fan's original body completed the deduction of the Tai Su Qiankun Dao, the Tai Su Bian Ren Fa, and the Tai Su Qian Mian Dian Tai. His original body could then smoothly advance to become the Chaos Dao Ancestor's guide and the Chaos Dao Body of the Thousand-Faced Immortal.

However, this time it was the system that proactively suggested that Li Fan consider it. After all, the Thousand-Faced Immortal was too powerful, and there were too many unknowns. If he couldn't control himself and tried to comprehend this path, he might just be handing himself over to the other party for nothing.

Li Fan was also a little timid. After all, the Thousand-Faced Immortal never claimed to be the Dao Ancestor, but was merely a guide to Chaos. However, Li Fan still didn't quite understand Chaos.

Moreover, even the Enlightenment Stage expert from Qingcheng Mountain back then wasn't a match for an immortal, so Li Fan wouldn't dare to be reckless now and put all his eggs in one basket. He'll wait until he's achieved Dao Enlightenment and leveled up a few more times before exploring the Chaos Dao of the Thousand-Faced Immortal.

Therefore, he also admitted that he had not comprehended the Dao of Chaos. In order to avoid displeasing the immortals, Li Fan began to spread the Dao of Primordial Simplicity, as agreed with them.

He compiled his own <Ink Mountain Fist>, <Tai Su Qiankun Method>, and <Tai Su Transformation>, along with Mo Zhi Zi and Mo Chanzi's <Gu Guan Method> and <Tai Su Forty-Nine Transformations>, as well as the basic <<Ten Books of Arithmetic>>, into a combined book called <Moshan Tai Su Studies>. It was divided into three volumes: <Introduction to Tai Su Studies>, <Advanced Tai Su Studies>, and <University Tai Su Studies>, which basically perfected the basic education of Moshan and spread it throughout the world.

The title itself is quite clear: "Introduction" is a compulsory education book and can be bought on the market. However, it is mainly for popular science and does not contain cultivation methods. It also provides a general introduction to the ecology of the Tai Su Devil Embryo and various materials that can be used as a snack. It can be considered an encyclopedia of the Tai Su Dao.

The "Advanced" level includes a portion of the "Ink Mountain Fist" and "Transformation Technique," targeting Outer Sect Disciple Ink Bamboo Mountain who have reached the Golden Core realm and aspire to enter the "If you don't follow the path, you'll be on the table" Tai Su Dao. It also includes cultivators from the old Three Great Sects who are seeking their own path in the new world, new version, and new rules. Of course, mortals can also cultivate, but it is indeed difficult without a certain level of basic arithmetic and cultivation knowledge.

As for the "University," it is naturally intended for core disciples who have joined the Inner Sect Nascent Soul Realm at the Nascent Soul stage. It was specially prepared for Mo Zhi, the senior brothers and sisters of Mo Shan, and the people of Mo Shan. In addition to systematically summarizing and organizing the many transformations of the Revered Heavenly Demon, and Li Fan using the system to reorganize the correct and complete transformation methods, this method also elaborates on the cultivation method of the Tai Su Qiankun, as well as the various strange and wonderful transformations that Li Fan summarized and evolved by reverse engineering the company's technological equipment.

Therefore, the "Great Learning" has actually become the core course for the Inner Sect disciples of the three lineages of Ink Bamboo Mountain Lou Guan Dao, Tianyu Mountain, and Moshan.

Although currently only the Real Persons of Lou Guan are reading it, most disciples like Fairy Wangshu, whose aptitude is average, are still stuck at the <Advanced Tai Su> level...

Li Fan continued his cultivation while writing teaching materials and compiling lecture notes. When he entered his third decade of seclusion, a momentous event occurred that shook the world!

As the battle between the Divine Sect and the Profound Sect intensified, the Taiyi Mountain lineage, which had established itself in Duizhou and was the first to withstand the Divine Sect's advance, had its protective formation broken and was wiped out! It became the first Profound Sect Daoist Tradition to be destroyed in five hundred years since the Beichen Sword Sect! This shocked the world!

Thus, the "Non-Aggression Treaty between Ink Bamboo Mountain and Hengshan," the "Strategic and Mutually Beneficial Cooperation Agreement Ink Bamboo Mountain and Danxia Mountain," the "Friendly Cooperation Agreement between Ink Bamboo Mountain and Xieluo Mountain," and various "All-Weather Strategic Friendly Partnerships" and "Free Trade Agreements" with Luofu Mountain, Tianfu Mountain, and Songshan were quickly reached, signed, and deployed. The Xuanmen sect also began to send Outer Sect core disciples and their families, escorting the harvest of decades or even centuries, to Ink Bamboo Mountain in the south to study and discuss the Dao, learn the "Dao of Tai Su," and exchange insights on the Six Arts.

So, in addition to resource trading and missionary work, Li Fan also began to use the Tai Su Dao method he had deduced to exchange classics and borrow secret manuals with the visiting Xuanmen sect leaders and palace masters. In addition, by this time, Li Fan had gradually mastered the art of studying and had passed down all six arts, becoming a well-known cultural figure in the south. His cultivation of the Xuanmen Dao was also progressing rapidly.

He even borrowed the "Collection of Annotations on the Jade Pivot Treasure Scripture of the Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin of Thunder and Sound" kept in Danxia Mountain from Chong Lingzi as compensation for the remaining 270 years of offerings.

There was also the handwritten copy of "Taiyi Jiutian Shenshu" given to him by the two elders of Songshan, the "Taishang Xuan Girl of the Nine Heavens Zhanxie Milu" given to him by his manifestation, and the "Xuan Girl of the Nine Heavens Ruyi Ce" which Xuantian had already passed down in his true form.

With the four volumes of the Xuan Girl Heavenly Book in hand, Li Fan could already embark on the Profound Maiden's path of enlightenment. Moreover, he had at least four immortal paths—Dongxuan, Taiyi, Taishang, and Ruyi—that he could comprehend...

Of course, Taiji Xian Dao is outdated and no longer compatible with the current version, so Li Fan mainly relied on it as a reference, and thus he held on for four decades.

The derivation of the <Mysterious Heavenly Great Slaughter Sword Scripture> is complete!

Yes, Li Fan has almost finished his remedial studies in the Six Arts, and has also completed the derivation of the Great Slaughter Sword Scripture! Enlightenment is just around the corner! The next plan is to go to the South China Sea to forge a sword and reshape the Xuan Tian True Body!

Xuan Tian has helped Li Fan so much, so there's no need to say more about what should be done. However, after thinking about it, Li Fan felt there was no need to compete with Xuan Tian for the title of Ancestor of the Tai Sha Sword Dao.

Firstly, he has many options, and he can choose more than one; he could have chosen "I want them all." But the key is to choose "my way."

Both Xuantian and the Abbot had given him pointers on this matter. As the saying goes, different paths lead to the same destination. After reaching the Enlightenment Stage, one not only comprehends the Heavenly Dao and grasps the laws of the universe, but also gains a general understanding of the various wondrous methods transmitted by different sects and schools in this realm. It's not that one cannot comprehend other paths, but what suits oneself is clearly the best.

For example, that manifestation is a combination of the Nine Paths of the Profound Maiden and the Path of the Gang Fist. He is currently comprehending the Tai Su Dao. There is also the Divine Lord, who is also a primordial spirit, with blood records, sword techniques, fist techniques, and various other paths.

However, it is certain that only the first law domain comprehended upon breaking through a realm is the true, fundamental, and most beneficial righteous path for a cultivator.

Moreover, as the saying goes, "there is a sequence to learning the Dao," and the Dao Ancestor who opens up a new path of cultivation often receives a huge boost in fortune. The more descendants learn from his Dao, the more beneficial it is for their own cultivation. Otherwise, the manifestation of Penglai wouldn't have required such a fierce competition for the first place.

Secondly, Li Fan also realized that he was indeed not good at using a sword.

Well, to put it simply, he lacks that innate talent, especially when working with Xuan Tian to deduce the Tai Sha Sword Dao. It was mainly Xuan Tian who offered suggestions, came up with ideas, made improvements, and proposed various solutions. Then Li Fan just copied and implemented everything exactly according to Xuan Tian's various tutorials.

It's like Academician Xuantian wrote the entire paper, from beginning to end, including the conjectures, calculations, and summaries. Unfortunately, Academician Xuantian was paralyzed from the waist down and bedridden, so researcher Li Fan completed the certification experiment and published it under his guidance.

Although he was also very talented and able to keep up with Xuan Tian's thinking, Li Fan also had his pride!

This is not the Dao he 'enlightened' at all; it is the Dao that Xuan Tian comprehended!

We've been cultivating immortality for so many years now, and outsiders always talk about Daoist secrets. Even if it's cheating or using cheat codes, we still have to develop our own methods, right?

However, to be fair, the Tai Sha Sword Dao is still incredibly powerful.

After all, it was Li Fan who organized it, so he naturally knew about the Tai Sha Sword Intent and comprehended the Dao of Annihilation!

Kill! Kill! Kill! Slay the demons and vanquish the evil! Annihilate all! The way of the sword immortal is to prove the Dao through killing! Never repent, even in death!

The Path of Extinction!

The goal is to slay the Tai Su Dao Ancestor and attain enlightenment!

Good heavens! This Tai Su Dao has only just begun, and he's already thinking about killing the Tai Su Dao Ancestor. To comprehend such a Dao, Xuan Tian's thought process is truly extraordinary. At the very least, he has antisocial personality disorder. He's either researching how to kill people or on his way to kill people...

Therefore, Li Fan thought it best to play it safe. That way, if Xuan Tian fails in his attempt to kill the Dao Ancestor, there will still be someone to pass on this wonderful Dao.

In reality, by this point, with cultivation and computing power at this level, the main storyline has also progressed to this stage.

Li Fan had already subconsciously understood the cause and effect of his own life and realized what path he needed to comprehend.

Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going?

This "I" is not Li Fan, but rather, at this very moment, standing in this place, in this realm, on the boundary.

Those who have touched upon the unspeakable, the nameless, the 'Tao'.

Tai Su Daoist Qingyue,

Li Fan had finally understood the purpose of their existence.

Her real name Li Yi. Her father was Li Chun and her Mother Zheng Mingzhu. Her family lived 350 steps west of Guangzhai Lane in Changsi City and 450 steps south of Xuanfu Gate.

This "home" does not refer to the Eastern Palace, but to the Baisun Yuan, the laboratory the company uses to cultivate the seeds of the Immortal Emperor.

Yes, Li Yi is one of the sealed Immortal Emperor embryos, a company asset, and a sixth-level Immortal Emperor clone prosthetic body.

The company has been conducting genetic research on the bloodline of the immortals who ascended to immortality, the descendants of the imperial family, preserving them as seeds of genetic prototypes. When a major client comes to experience life, 'Li Yi' is simply a vessel for a prosthetic body. The so-called destiny of an immortal emperor, or being ordained by heaven, are all scripts provided by the company to its esteemed clients. Players create a paid character customized for them.

Li Yi's biological father was not 'Li Chun, the Guangling Heir in the Li Country', but rather 'Li Chun', likely the previous one, the original genetic code that retained the Immortal Emperor's genes. Such clones existed in all Twelve Countries, but there was only one of each—a 'destined ruler,' after all. They could customize various storylines according to client needs, but obviously, when there were no orders, they wouldn't lift the restrictions and create another Immortal Emperor—that would be asking for trouble. When their lifespan ended, they would be replaced, for example, from 'Li Chun' to 'Li Yi'.

As for 'Mother, Zheng Mingzhu', she was naturally not just a kidnapped village girl, a maidservant in the Eastern Palace, a lantern bearer for the Crown Prince, or a pitiful person in a chaotic world.

She is no ordinary person.

If Li Fan's calculations are correct,

Zheng Mingzhu from Shatang Village is also a candidate to be the reincarnation of the Wusheng Laomu.

Yes, Li Yi's attachment to Fuling is not without reason.

The protection of the Black Lotus Mother, the Wusheng Laomu, and the Mother of Beasts has never been free.

While the Three Great Sects are indeed a bunch of scumbags and bastards, there must be a reason why Emei calls them heretical sects and demonic sects.

In any village that has ever been protected by the Wusheng Laomu, there is a chance that a young girl will be born, becoming the incarnation of the Beast Mother, giving birth to those strangely shaped goat cubs, Beast's Child, or, as destined, the Tai Su Daoist.

Shi Tong'er, Fuling, Zheng Mingzhu, and perhaps the unknown person who gave birth to 'Demon Prince Li Fan' in their first life are all among them.

The Three Elders and Four Ancestors of Emei knew about this long ago, but they couldn't stop it no matter how hard they tried, and more girls fell into such misfortune.

The birth of Tai Su Daoist had a far more profound impact than the tragic lives of many young girls.

After all, these things started a long time ago.

Whether it's the Black Lotus Sect, the Corpse Refining Pills, or to be more specific, the mutation and self-evolution of mortal bodies by evil energy in the Tai Su environment, this is one of the key projects that the company plans to promote.

The details of this cause and effect can be explained later, but in short, it was due to the company's protection, the conspiracy of Nangong Seven Friends, and possibly even the attention of the Thousand-Faced Immortal.

Even with the combined efforts of powerful sects like the Three Great Sects Immortal Palace and the Profound Gate, and top-tier immortals like the Three Elders and Four Ancestors, the Black Lotus Demonic Sect could not be completely eradicated.

The Black Lotus of Demonic Path always manages to rise from the ashes, grow stronger, and eventually reach a point where it cannot be controlled.

There are no coincidences in this world.

The small village, which could be easily wiped out by marauding soldiers, was spared only by the survival of the brother and sister; it was certainly not due to good fortune.

In this chaotic world, the lowly people are like duckweed, their lives as worthless as grass. If they cannot be born into a wealthy family, it is definitely a sign of bad luck!

But Zheng Guang and Zheng Mingzhu survived because they had the genes that the company valued!

Antibodies developed by the human body through autonomous evolution against the radiation from the evil energy, the False Moon, and the Void Abyss!

They are the product of the company's massive and lengthy social experiment, selected by nature, the grand prize drawn from the gene pool.

New humans from the Tai Su Realm.

Therefore, Zheng Mingzhu, one of the vessels for the reincarnation of the Wusheng Laomu, will be chosen by the Luo Sect to nurture the Dao Child.

Her child may become the reincarnation of Ancestor Luo.

Her child may become the savior who leads the Luo Sect back to its Vacuum Home.

Her child may be one of the three ancestors of Tai Su in her destiny.

Her child will be a Level 9 bio- Bio-Human, possessing genes from both the original Immortal Emperor and the Tai Su New Human.

Of course, no matter what, he is still his mother's son.

So this ordinary mother, who was schemed against by all forces, yet none of them were taking her into account, wanted her son to see what lay beyond the high walls of the Qing Palace.

For this inexplicable, worthless, and insignificant reason, she ruined the plans of the company, the Luo Sect, the Divine Cult, and everyone else.

What? You think a mother's wish to save her son is insignificant? Then what grand principles does the company have that make it so elaborate to bring 'Li Yi' into this world?

Don't you understand?

That was, of course, to create humans who could physically pass through the 'door'.

Artificial Human! Transmigrated in Physical Form Number Nineteen! Li Yi!

The two sides of the 'door' are the result of working together to create a masterpiece of human civilization!

Moreover, for some unknown reason, 'Li Yi' died, the project was cancelled by the company, and the company's system never tried to track this top-tier prosthetic asset.

It was as if her son had truly gained 'freedom' because of a mother's humble wish.

Of course, it's also possible that there's an insider trying to steal company assets, a double-cross, who knows?

In short, everyone wants such a supreme Dao physique, and everyone dares to fight for it. Li Fan was just the luckiest one who won in the end.

This is probably what they mean by the unpredictability of fate.

Honestly, compared to someone like Li Yi, a true "chosen one," Li Fan is far more ordinary—just a damn ordinary transmigrator.

Although he hadn't yet signed a contract with the system and revealed his true intentions, Li Fan had already learned and observed enough. He estimated that he was probably just a native netizen from some border Earth, connected via a virtual network, and had likely been tricked by the Mood System, with his main consciousness being pulled to plane 49327, unexpectedly becoming the driver of this chosen one.

In other words, Li Fan has indeed 'settled his karma', and he can do whatever he wants.

Comprehend the Way of Evolution, comprehend the Way of Annihilation, comprehend the Way of Chaos.

It will be all right.

But if one doesn't want to waste the inherent talent and destiny of this being,

If we consider 'Qingyue's' most prominent attributes and characteristics,

If we consider the most suitable and appropriate bonus,

If we consider the fundamental purpose of this body's descent into the world,

Therefore, there is only one path to enlightenment.

Once you understand it, you will attain enlightenment.

Then,

In the forty-ninth year of seclusion,

Qingyue, having accumulated profound knowledge and skills, has mastered the subtle techniques of various schools and come to understand the cause and effect of her own life!

Comprehend the ways of Outer Heaven Demon, immortals from beyond the realms, transmigrators, and Earthlings!

The Fiend Star Realm ascends to a higher dimension!

The Tai Sha Star Core Transformation Great Evil Empty Star!

Yes, Dao Ancestor Void Star!

The first Non-Thing I saw!

The first pronucleus of the ontology!

The laws of space and time!

The method to break through boundaries!

The Way Through the Door!

Li Fan called himself "!"

Transcending the Dao! Great Dao Lord!!
