My Name is Lei Jun, I Now Become the Human Dao

So-called cultivation.

Is the constant correction of one's path.

Until finally, the chasm becomes a thoroughfare.

And the thoroughfare becomes the Great Dao!

In short.

Understanding the difference between the Heavenly Dao and the Human Dao meant the greatest significance for Lei Jun was no longer having to worry about being so fiercely targeted by the Heavenly Dao.

It had even triggered the Tribulation Period early.

And was even altering the grand trend.

As if Lei Jun were a virus.

Lei Jun had no intention of this, but before now, he could think of no good solution.

The Heavenly Dao wanted to deal with him.

If he didn't resist, it would be Dao's Fall.

But if he succeeded in incarnating the Human Dao, it would be equivalent to obtaining a security certification.

This certification was granted by the Primordial Wilderness.

On par with the Heavenly Dao!

Even more crucial was that the Human Dao itself was quite compatible with Lei Jun.

He was, after all, the first living being in heaven and earth!

Incarnating the Human Dao would earn the recognition of the Primordial Wilderness!

Furthermore.

It must be said that because the Earthly Dao had not yet emerged, Houtu's incarnation into Reincarnation was necessary to complete the Primordial Wilderness.

If the Earthly Dao existed.

The Earthly Dao itself could fulfill the duty of Reincarnation.

There would be no need for Houtu to do so.

In fact.

The Three Paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man were all strange existences between the tangible and intangible.

Both fathomable and unfathomable.

Therefore.

Lei Jun's incarnation of the Human Dao did not require him to become a tangible Reincarnation or any other entity like Houtu.

He could directly align with the Heavenly Dao!

To govern...

To create Dharma Gates!

To become the opportunity for all beings to comprehend new Dharma Gates!

With a single thought.

Lei Jun's consciousness separated from his Dao Body.

The Three Lifetimes Body, Spirit Root, and other elements within the Dao Body also fled out at that moment.

For a time.

Within the Dao Body, aside from a wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi swirling.

It was as if it had become an empty shell.

But in the next moment.

This "empty shell" also transformed into purple qi.

Yet it was the first wisp of innate purple qi, which then merged with the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

At the same time.

Lei Jun's Dao Sound rang out.

"I am Lei Jun. Today, I incarnate as the Human Dao, opening boundless Dharma Gates for all beings!"

Before the Dao Sound had finished.

A Strange Phenomenon suddenly arose.

In an instant, boundless Golden Clouds appeared across the Primordial Wilderness.

Various Strange Phenomena interwove.

It was no less magnificent than the emergence of the Heavenly Dao!

Lei Jun's status shifted.

The Human Dao was born!

From this point onward, the highest realm the beings of the Primordial Wilderness could comprehend would no longer be the Heavenly Dao.

Instead...

It would be the Oneness of Heaven and Man!

At this moment.

Boundless strange phenomena erupted without warning.

Every cultivator was jolted in an instant.

Whether they had taken form or not.

All were the same.

The shock in their eyes could not be concealed.

Because they had only ever seen a scene like this before when the Heavenly Dao first emerged. The scale of the current phenomena was in no way inferior to that time.

Did this not mean...

That an existence comparable to the Heavenly Dao had been born?

Then.

While they were still lost in confusion.

A Dao Sound spread across the entire land of the Primordial Wilderness.

A shocking piece of news.

Also exploded like a thunderclap in their hearts.

At this moment.

Their minds went blank.

Only four words echoed within.

The Human Dao is born!

The Three Paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man—those with even a shred of knowledge were aware of them.

But aside from the Heavenly Dao.

No one had ever imagined that the other two paths would emerge.

And at this very point in time.

The quicker-witted cultivators began to close their eyes and sense.

At Mount Buzhou.

Nüwa and Fuxi, who had been in seclusion all along, rarely waking even when the outside world was in chaos.

This time.

They were blasted out of their seclusion by the Dao Sound.

The embryonic form of their Origin churned violently.

A clear sign of just how unsettled their hearts were.

Especially Nüwa.

In the depths of her being, she felt that the birth of the Human Dao seemed to have a causal connection with her.

Sensing further.

Her mood not only failed to calm, but grew even more astonished.

She arrived at a judgment.

One that was not confirmed.

And whose truth was unknown.

The birth of the Human Dao.

Might be a great opportunity for her, Nüwa!

"Elder Brother, have you sensed the opportunity brought by the birth of the Human Dao?"

"Opportunity?"

Fuxi was momentarily stunned.

He knew the Human Dao had been born.

As for opportunities...

It wasn't that there were none.

"Nüwa, do you mean that deducing Dharma Gates and comprehending Dao techniques has become much easier than before?"

"Yes, this is indeed a stroke of fortune!"

Fuxi said as much.

Nüwa spoke again.

"Elder Brother, the fortune you speak of—Nüwa can also sense it. But that is not what Nüwa refers to."

"It seems..."

"There is another fortune lingering in Nüwa's heart. If one could comprehend it fully, there would be a Great Fortune!"

Another one?

Now Fuxi truly did not understand.

In his view, merely making it easier to comprehend the Dharma Gate was cause for celebration.

There was no helping it.

After all, before this, the Heavenly Dao had been very difficult to comprehend.

Having received no answer from Fuxi, Nüwa did not ask again.

But the doubt in her heart remained unresolved.

However, if she had heard Lei Jun's Dao Sound, at least somewhat, she might have understood a bit.

Because she had previously gained insights from Lei Jun.

Though the insights were faint, they had still brought her much gain.

One could say that after taking form, her cultivation had managed to surpass Fuxi's by a fair margin.

Of course, this was not the entirety of the fortune she had comprehended.

The true fortune was related to the Human Dao!

After all, if the Heavenly Dao could have Sages, why could the Human Dao not have them as well?

But all this, Nüwa did not know.

Also puzzled

were the other cultivators of the Primordial Wilderness.

Even those like Hongjun, who had already taken form, were no better off.

Thanks to their cultivation, the changes they sensed were even more pronounced.

Two Heavenly Daos—

one had been concealed.

In its place stood a brand-new Human Dao!

Compared to the elusive Heavenly Dao, this Dao seemed easier to comprehend.

Yet fully grasping it was unrealistic.

The Heavenly Dao

represented all laws, Dharma Gates, and Dao techniques throughout the Primordial Wilderness, past and present.

Though profound and mysterious, it was fixed and rigid.

No matter how one cultivated, one could never break through its upper limit.

That limit was...

the Heavenly Dao itself!

After all, if one comprehended the laws of the Heavenly Dao, how could one ever surpass it?

The greatest difference between the Human Dao and the Heavenly Dao is this:

It represents the future Dharma!

One could say, the Heavenly Dao represents "existence."

Then the Human Dao is "nonexistence."

With infinite possibilities!

In other words.

After the Human Dao emerged, the number of Dharma Gates in the Primordial Wilderness would exceed those in the original trajectory of fate.

Even if the effects were not immediately apparent.

Given enough time.

It was possible someone would comprehend a method to survive the Immeasurable Calamity!

And this was something the Heavenly Dao alone could not achieve.

Thus.

The emergence of the Human Dao.

Was beneficial to the Primordial Wilderness!

However, at this moment, few cultivators in the Primordial Wilderness could understand this.

All they knew was.

The emergence of the Human Dao was an opportunity.

After all, their perception had improved, and even the Primordial Ancestral Witches, whose consciousness had been partially eroded by Turbid Qi, could gain some insight from it!

Thus.

The grand trend of the Primordial Wilderness had fundamentally changed.

Not like before.

Where it only affected individual cultivators.

Now it was everyone!

And this influence was positive.

For a time.

Cultivators across the Primordial Wilderness were all surprised and delighted.

Delight was fine.

But surprise was clearly premature.

Because the next moment.

A Strange Phenomenon appeared again.

Not only Golden Clouds and Golden Lotuses, but even the world barrier of the Primordial Wilderness was torn open by a mighty force in that instant.

Yet astonishingly.

This opening.

Did not cause any negative changes in the Primordial Wilderness.

All it brought was boundless pressure.

Even the Heavenly Dao had to yield.

Then.

At the breach in the world barrier, immeasurable Chaotic Qi converged.

At the center, it seemed like an eye.

Supreme, ultimate, and simple.

At this moment.

The Great Dao manifested!

Immediately after.

A golden light even more dazzling than when Merit descended.

It could almost illuminate the entire Primordial Wilderness!

In an instant.

All cultivators fell silent.

Even the most unruly beings were inevitably shaken at this moment.

Because this was Great Dao Merit!

BOOM!

Boundless golden light descended, plunging into the depths of the Nine Nether.

It fell into Lei Jun's Divine Sense!

The reason it was Divine Sense.

Was because his Dao Body had already transformed into the Dao.

Now, Lei Jun.

Had no Physical Body!

For an ordinary cultivator, losing the Physical Body.

Would certainly result in severe damage to their vitality.

But not for Lei Jun.

His current state.

Was very mysterious.

Existing between the tangible and the intangible.

Speaking of tangible.

He had no Dao Body.

Speaking of intangible.

Yet the three severed selves were still there, the Spirit Roots planted in his three dantians remained, and his connection with Lei Jun had not been severed.

It was as if he could endure indefinitely without a Physical Body.

Of course.

A Dao Body was still necessary.

After all, Lei Jun was still in the Qi Refining stage.

And had not even reached perfection.

Without a body.

The efficiency of Qi Refining would be reduced by who knows how many times.

Unless he reached a higher realm.

Therefore.

Rebuilding the Dao Body was essential.

Before the Great Dao Merit descended.

Regarding the rebuilding of the Dao Body.

Lei Jun was actually somewhat troubled.

The reason was simple.

Because he had just abandoned his original body.

For a time.

He simply could not find a suitable vessel.

Even if he found one, it would be some object within the Primordial Wilderness.

If so.

Wouldn't his act of severing his own self be in vain?

Severing his own self.

Then transforming his body into the Human Dao.

Was also about severing his own Shackles, repaying the karma of the Primordial Wilderness, and ultimately achieving transcendence.

Karma was a lock.

A lock that trapped cultivators, preventing them from transcending the Primordial Wilderness.

Not only that.

The Permission Right of the Primordial Wilderness, which Lei Jun had not only never given up but had craved more and more, was also one of the Shackles!

Therefore.

He had to be bound by this or that restriction.

Clearly, his cultivation was not low.

Far surpassing the cultivators of the Primordial Wilderness, yet he could not act directly.

The Permission Right was a lock, locking others.

And also locking himself!

Thus.

In severing his own self, Lei Jun also severed the Permission Right.

He ceded it to the Human Dao!

To some extent.

Having transformed his body into the Human Dao, Lei Jun's karmic ties with the Primordial Wilderness could now be considered mostly resolved.

The reason was simple.

Apart from his Dao Body of transformation—that is, the first wisp of innate Purple Qi—

All of Lei Jun's other insights and gains

Did not originate from the Primordial Wilderness.

Or were not heavily influenced by it.

His realm went without saying.

The Dao Scripture was the main source.

As for his cultivation base...

He had returned the vast majority of it to the Primordial Wilderness in the form of his Dao Body transforming into the Human Dao.

To say that Lei Jun had helped the Primordial Wilderness "nurture" a Human Dao

In exchange for elevating his own realm—

That was quite fair.

This also included the Great Dao Merit at this moment!

That, too, was part of the karmic ties.

Thus, the most significant karmic debts

Had already been settled.

As for Spirit Treasures, Spirit Roots, and such—

Many of them had been "rescued" by Lei Jun in the first place.

If not for Lei Jun, many of them would never have existed at all.

Not to mention

That quite a few were personally refined by Lei Jun himself.

The Way of Karma

Is Mysterious and Profound.

Before achieving the Dao, no one could claim to be completely unaffected.

So-called karma not clinging to one's person

Is only relative.

Upon becoming a Sage, the karmic ties of the Primordial Wilderness's living beings indeed no longer clung to him.

But what about the Primordial Wilderness itself?

That was not necessarily the case.

At this moment, Lei Jun could not help but think, "Since karma is settled, I should be able to truly transcend the Primordial Wilderness!"

"But the urgent task now is to reforge my Dao Body!"

"And it must be made from things outside the Primordial Wilderness—or even..."

"From beyond Chaos!"

"Otherwise, wouldn't I incur karmic debts to Chaos as well?"

"And the quality cannot be low!"
