Recasting the Dao Body, Three Bodies Unite!

Not long after.

Lei Jun had an idea.

"The Dao Body should not be limited to 'form,' that is, the 'body.' What matters more is the 'Dao.' Otherwise, it is just an empty shell—lost and gone, never to gather again."

"A true Dao Body should be forged from one's own enlightenment!"

"Thus!"

"I shall use my own 'Dao'..."

"To recast the Dao Body!"

What is the Dao Body?

It does not lie solely in the physical form.

It should reside in the 'Dao,' not merely on the surface.

But on this point.

The vast majority of cultivators in the Primordial Wilderness remain ignorant.

Instead, they preen themselves on the height of their origins.

Little do they know.

No matter how lofty one's origins, they are merely another's 'Dao.'

A true Dao Body.

Must be forged with one's own Dao.

At this moment.

Lei Jun understood.

"What is my Dao..."

Without a trace of hesitation.

Lei Jun stirred his thoughts, casting his Divine Sense onto the Three Lifetimes Body.

His train of thought was crystal clear.

"My Dao is this Three Lifetimes Body!"

"To be precise, it is the unity of the Three Bodies!"

"Past, future, and present, fused into one!"

"Another realm beyond the Id, Ego, and Super-Ego..."

"The Realm of No Self!"

Of course.

It could also be called the Dao of No Self!

In his cultivation thus far.

Lei Jun had gleaned much from the Dao Scripture, but if he were to count the Dharma Gates he had truly comprehended on his own.

It was this Three Bodies Technique.

This had also been the key to his cultivation journey up to now.

Thus.

Lei Jun's 'Dao' naturally rested upon it.

Yet to take any single body of the Three Lifetimes Body as the mainstay of the 'Dao' would be unsuitable.

Because it would lack precision.

If the present is taken as the core, are the past and future to be discarded?

The reverse is also true.

Only by uniting the three bodies can Lei Jun's Dao be perfectly interpreted.

What is called the Three Lifetimes Body.

Is essentially proof of existence.

A person, if devoid of past, present, and future, would truly cease to be.

Thus.

The Three Lifetimes Body is also the 'Realm of Existence,' or the 'Realm of Self.'

This realm cannot be called low.

But it remains stuck at the material level, having yet to achieve transcendence.

Because one must not only transcend the world.

But also transcend oneself.

The only problem was how to unite the Three Lifetimes Body.

Before this, if Lei Jun wanted to comprehend it, it would certainly take a long time.

Now, however, it was much easier.

Because he had Great Dao Merit.

Thinking this, Lei Jun unhesitatingly mobilized the Great Dao Merit.

Not to use it to recast his Dao Body, but to aid his comprehension.

To comprehend the method of uniting the three bodies.

He had to admit, Heavenly Dao Merit and Great Dao Merit were truly two different kinds of existence.

Though both were World Origin, the former only contained "Law,"

while the latter held the purest "Dao" within.

Thus, Only with Great Dao Merit could a Postnatal Spirit Treasure be elevated to a Postnatal Supreme Treasure!

Heavenly Dao Merit could not.

And if Great Dao Merit was used for enlightenment, the gap between it and Heavenly Dao Merit was even greater!

The boost it brought to Lei Jun's comprehension

was almost immediate.

For a time, the Great Dao Merit was consumed at a rapid pace.

Lei Jun's Three Lifetimes Body was also undergoing change.

No one knew how long passed.

When the Great Dao Merit was mostly spent, Lei Jun's Three Lifetimes Body had already vanished.

In its place

was a form that seemed tangible yet was actually intangible.

This form

was Mysterious and Profound, impossible to grasp.

Because the moment one tried to ponder it, they would realize that sensing this form was like comprehending the "Dao" itself!

Indeed.

This form was forged from "Dao."

What Dao?

The Dao of No Self!

Lei Jun could not help but sigh.

"This is a Dao Body!"

"A body forged from 'Dao'!"

At this moment, Lei Jun's Dao Body was fully recast.

Every move and gesture could no longer be described as containing Daoist Rhyme.

He himself was the Dao!

Though subtle, and not yet the Great Dao, compared to before, his essence had risen by more than one order of magnitude!

If one were to describe it in terms of origin, before, he was the first wisp of Purple Qi from the primordial.

Now, he was the "Dao" itself!

And moreover, it was Lei Jun's own Dao!

With a single thought, His Divine Sense merged with the Dao Body.

There was not the slightest obstruction.

The two became one.

Sensing the surging power within the Dao Body, Lei Jun abruptly opened his eyes.

His expression held neither joy nor sorrow.

"Only now can I truly say..."

"I have successfully Proven the Dao!"

"Before, I merely touched the realm of the Dao!"

In truth, The Primordial Wilderness also had a concept of "Proving the Dao."

But that was Proving the Heavenly Dao.

The Chaos also had Proving the Dao.

That was the Great Dao.

Yet true Proving the Dao was neither the Heavenly Dao nor the Great Dao.

It was one's own Dao!

Sensing once more the might of his current realm, Lei Jun's gaze blazed like torches.

His Dao Body was flawless.

He gently extended an arm and reached into the void, grasping at nothing.

Then, with a light sweep, The Great Array that shielded the Earth Dao Source was erased by Lei Jun as if it were nothing!

The entire process was unhurried.

Without the slightest strain.

In an instant, The array that previously would have taken a long time to break with the Chaos Green Lotus

Was so easily eliminated by Lei Jun.

The Earth Dao Source

Now lay completely exposed before Lei Jun.

Just then, An invisible pressure, like a Heaven and Earth Furnace, crushed down upon Lei Jun.

This pressure

Was all too familiar to Lei Jun.

For it was unmistakably the Primordial Wilderness Power!

Only...

"With just this, you think to make I retreat?"

"And this method is far too crude!"

Lei Jun shook his head with a laugh.

He knew exactly where this Primordial Wilderness Power came from.

It was none other than the Earth Dao Source before him!

Unfortunately, Though the Earth Dao Source possessed a trace of spiritual nature, it had no will of its own.

Thus, its methods were rather simplistic.

Even though it could mobilize the Primordial Wilderness Power, it could not affect Lei Jun in the slightest.

In fact, It had not even a shred of influence.

Let alone now, Even before this.

Even the Primordial Wilderness Power couldn't harm Lei Jun.

At this moment.

Lei Jun spoke again.

"No need to be tense. I only take one wisp of your purple qi; I won't touch the vast majority of your source!"

"Not only that, but afterward, I will help you birth your will!"

"How about it?"

At these words.

The Earth Dao Source flickered.

As if considering.

Before long.

The Earth Dao Source stopped flickering.

And made its decision.

Then.

Under Lei Jun's slightly surprised gaze.

Three strands of the source—that is, three wisps of Hongmeng Purple Qi—floated out, hovering beside Lei Jun.

"Heh~"

"Quite generous!"

"I only wanted one wisp, but you give me three!"

"You're going all out!"

"Afraid I won't keep my promise?"

Lei Jun smiled faintly.

His hand reached out again, but unlike before.

This time.

He did not dispel the Great Array—instead, he restored it!

Beyond that.

He even reinforced it!

And left a thread of connection with Lei Jun.

If the Great Array changed, Lei Jun could sense it at the first moment.

If Lei Jun wished.

He could even foresee the change before it happened.

One could say.

With just this, the chance of the Earth Dao Source birthing a will.

Increased by several degrees!

With the Earth Dao purple qi in hand, Lei Jun cast another glance at the Earth Dao Source.

Earlier.

He had intended to let the Chaos Green Lotus devour it.

But now that he thought about it.

There was no need.

Not to mention how much use a Twenty-Four Grade Chaos Green Lotus would be to him after devouring it.

The key point was that it wasn't necessary.

Because after the three bodies merged.

Whether it was the Human Dao purple qi or the Earth Dao purple qi.

He could freely open them within his Dao Body.

He was only one step away from breaking through to the next realm.

Just one final piece missing—the Heavenly Dao purple qi!

"Still."

"If I hadn't comprehended my own Dao."

"Even if I obtained the Heavenly Dao purple qi, I probably couldn't achieve perfection, could I?"

Earlier.

Lei Jun never understood this point until he made the great resolve to sever even his Dao Body.

Only then did he truly comprehend.

If one could not grasp this, even obtaining the Purple Qi of the Three Paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man would not allow them to reach the Endpoint of Primal Ancestral Qi.

At best, they could approach it infinitely.

Always falling short by that one bit.

Yet that single bit held an infinitely vast distance.

They could never arrive.

The reason was simple.

The Ancestor created all things, including cultivators themselves, as part of that whole.

And the Ancestor was born from nothingness.

Thus.

If one remained stuck in the realm of "existence," they could at most approach infinitely.

Only by transcending the Ego and comprehending "nothingness"

could it truly be possible.

Because this was leaping to a state even earlier than the Ancestor!

The three bodies united as one.

Past, present, and future converged, shifting from having a self to having no self.

After this.

Saying Lei Jun was not a transmigrator would pose no problem at all.

Because his past was no longer untraceable—it simply did not exist.

No matter when one observed Lei Jun, or from what angle they stood, there was never a time when he was weak.

Every time he grew stronger, Lei Jun's previous relatively weaker state would vanish.

He would forever remain in a state of constant strength!

In other words.

Even if the great annihilation came, if Dao's Fall occurred, when he revived, Lei Jun would still be at the same realm, the same cultivation level as before his fall!

As if he had been born that way from the start.

After all...

there was no time weaker than the moment of his fall!

To some extent, this was already very close to the Ancestor's cultivated state of never losing cultivation or dropping in realm!

No wonder they said

he was only one step away from breaking through.

Gathering his Heart Spirit, Lei Jun took a step forward.

He arrived from the Nine Nether onto the land of the Primordial Wilderness.

At this moment, Heaven and Earth held no shackles over him!

Though clearly within the Primordial Wilderness, he felt as if he were outside it.
