The Boundless Heart
After settling the remaining members of his tribe on Mars, Lu Yan'an finally embarked on his journey to wander the universe, all within his plan. Although the tribal war would begin in 100 years, Lu Yan'an did not intend to participate from the outset.
The early-stage inter-clan wars were more like a phase specifically prepared by each clan to deplete their lower-level populations. The fighting generally took place at the level of Immortals, and was a "garbage time phase" that appeared extremely brutal but did not affect the outcome of the final stage. This phase would last for about ten thousand years until a leading powerhouse from one of the four major clans deemed it enough, at which point the second phase, the Immortal War, would begin!
The Immortal War, as the name suggests, is a period of time in which immortals from various races fight each other. Immortal Expert have not cultivated Undying Body are almost always in danger of perishing in this Immortal War. However, compared to the consumption of the first stage, this second stage is much milder, with a mortality rate of only about 95%, which is almost on par with the mortality rate of the Outer Region Battlefield.
Moreover, as long as military merit reaches a certain level, even if one perishes in this battle, one can be resurrected by the strong members of the clan, which is completely different from the cannon fodder battles fought by those below the Immortal level. This period will last for about 50,000 years, until all the clans have eliminated the parasitic Immortals, and then the final stage—the "Great Decisive Battle"—will continue.
During the Great Decisive Battle, all opponents will face each other indiscriminately. The surviving immortals and Venerable from each race will engage in a chaotic battle. However, the number of immortals is fixed, while the number of Venerable Level powerhouses that each race needs to send is variable because the borders of their respective star sectors are not fixed! Even the Universe Master might personally impersonate Universe Venerable to participate in the battle. Of course, they generally don't dare to go too far.
Generally speaking, the powerful beings stationed in adjacent star sectors are invariably Overlord. The struggle between different star sectors hinges on the difference in combat strength between the Overlord stationed there! Only at this point does the special status of these Universe Overlord within their respective races become apparent. The fact that someone with Universe Master can be continuously resurrected by the Universe Supreme Being is the fundamental reason why various races fear those peak Overlord. Even if they are killed in the struggle for star sector territory, they can still be resurrected—this is their greatest advantage!
"You can't become a true powerhouse by cultivating in seclusion. The way to become a true master is to combine knowledge and action. I've been alive for nearly ten thousand Years, and I haven't really observed the universe carefully. I only know how to fight and kill my way to where I am today." Having accomplished all his small goals, Lu Yan'an suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction. He seemed to vaguely understand what the Zuoshanke had said.
"If that's the case, then let's go!" This thought, once it arose, immediately burned fiercely in his heart like a wildfire. Lu Yan'an, possessing a high level of composure, knew very well what to do and when...
Lu Yan'an first used the God Kingdom Teleportation to directly arrive in a remote region of the universe, and then began his wandering.
The universe is both dazzling and mysterious.
Lu Yan'an once saw a planet made entirely of diamonds orbiting a huge, dark red star. The star seemed to be nearing the end of its life, and even the energy storms it emitted carried an aura of decay.
Lu Yan'an also discovered the peculiar phenomenon of 97 stars coexisting, and even explored the interiors of each of the 97 stars...
Lu Yan'an once slept on a neutron star...
Having witnessed the mutual forces between three stars, the planets within a triple star system move in an extremely irregular and chaotic manner, possessing an astonishing beauty!
He had also explored black holes, even reaching the core of natural black holes. With his Divine Body, he felt the terrifying tearing force. Even the bodies of Venerable Level magical beasts could not withstand that powerful tearing force; the surrounding space was completely disrupted, and they could not escape by Teleportation. Fortunately, with his Innate Secret Technique "Black Hole Event Horizon," he merged with the naturally formed black hole and eventually slowly escaped.
On a whim, Lu Yan'an might lie on a meteorite and drift aimlessly in the universe.
Of course, Lu Yan'an also secretly visited various Alien Races. His Demon Beast Clone only needed to transform into the appearance of an Alien Race and copy its aura to quietly blend into it. Lu Yan'an was like a passerby, observing the joys and sorrows within each race and the environment in which the Alien Race lived.
The Years spent wandering in the universe occasionally gave Lu Yan'an some insights. The previous 100,000 years of secluded cultivation had little effect on improving his will, but the Years of wandering in the universe had caused his will to undergo a transformation.
"In the past, all I saw was fighting! Killing! Becoming stronger!"
"However, there is much more beauty in the universe. The cultures of Alien Race, though different from those of humans, have their own unique characteristics. Cultures that have been passed down for countless Years... Every culture of an Alien Race is worth savoring. Every time I experience an Alien Race culture, it is a cleansing of my soul." Lu Yan'an was half-consciously experiencing the wonders of the universe and half-consciously cultivating.
In this situation, efficiency is actually greatly improved.
"The will to find inspiration in life? I think I understand it a little now! In the past, I carried too much burden—family, responsibility, life and death... Thinking too much will eventually weigh you down with this pressure! Sometimes, pausing for a moment can reveal new scenery around you!"
In the past, cultivation felt like someone was relentlessly chasing after him, relying purely on his powerful talent to deduce and occasionally gain inspiration through sudden enlightenment. But now... Lu Yan'an discovered that everywhere in the universe, such as the birth, growth, and annihilation of stars, contains traces of the Universe Origin Law. A blade of grass, a ferocious beast, a river—all subtly contain the Universe Operating Laws. The operation of the living environment system within a life-bearing planet is a "miniature" version of the entire universe's operation.
Sometimes inspiration flows like a spring, breaking through layer after layer!
Sometimes he was stuck in front of a certain opponent, but Lu Yan'an was not impatient. As he drifted in the universe for a long time, his state of mind gradually merged with the universe. Just like the vastness of the cosmos, his mind slowly entered a new realm in the unity of knowledge and action. This is the third level of the state of mind Heart Infinite!
In fact, the three states of mind in cultivating the mind are not of high or low, but simply represent three paths.
" To Clear Heart Seeing Nature and point directly to one's original heart" means to firmly believe in one's own heart and to be strong in one's own eyes, recognizing oneself as the strongest! No matter what one encounters, one must firmly believe in oneself and never waver. However, this path is also the most difficult, requiring one to rely solely on one's own inner self without seeking external help.
To put it bluntly, people who are "extremely stubborn" or "obstinate" are prone to making mistakes and suffering.
Those who have truly Clear Heart Seeing Nature will not blindly follow the crowd; they possess unwavering resolve. Even amidst widespread condemnation and resentment, they will remain steadfast and steadfast. This path is the most arduous and fraught with difficulties...
"The harmony of Yin and Heart of the Innocent, the heart of a child," a Heart of the Innocent, the Unity of Heaven and Man.
Such people can inspire the admiration and trust of countless individuals, making it difficult for anyone to hate them. They see through the hearts of millions of ordinary people and are historically known as "saints."
"The heart embraces everything, embraces the universe," and they have a greater belief in the vastness of the universe. They believe that they alone cannot transcend everything outside. They are not content with simply accepting their fate and becoming one with heaven and earth. What they want to do is to embrace, to embrace everything.
Such a strong person has a big heart and can tolerate all setbacks and difficulties!
Although there are three levels of self-cultivation, the level of the level only represents a certain grade or a certain level of skill!
There are three levels. The first level is about foolishly and stubbornly sticking to one's original intention. There are no techniques involved, only one move: "Sticking to one's original intention" and enduring all impacts. It's like a rock being constantly polished by a flood.
The second level requires skill; one must be firm when necessary and gentle when appropriate, achieving a balance of yin and yang, resulting in significantly stronger natural resistance.
The third level is even more advanced.
But--
The third and second levels are superior to the first primarily in terms of realm or, more accurately, technique, having a ripple effect. With the same Soul Will, after comprehending "the union of Yin and Yang, the Heart of the Innocent," resistance to pressure, illusions, and Soul Attack can immediately increase tenfold or a hundredfold. If one reaches "the heart encompassing all," resistance to pressure, illusions, and Soul Attack can increase another hundredfold or a thousandfold.
The moment Lu Yan'an's state of mind entered this Heart Infinite level, it meant that he had officially broken through the threshold of the ultimate level of the Universe Master will and entered the level of the Universe Supreme Being!
