Cosmic Breath, Creation Unfolded
Under the Bodhi tree, Bao Xiang Ru Lai and Yang Ning sat on either side, while thirty-six monks sat to the side.
Yang Ning ordered a table of tea and a mobile phone, and then put on some soothing music.
The lecture officially began.
"How much do you know about Peerless Divine Abilities?" asked the Bao Xiang Ru Lai.
"Peerless Divine Abilities are composed of Daoist script, which should also be a form of talisman array, only the medium on which they are written is different!" Yang Ning said.
Whether it's Human-grade Divine Ability, Earth-grade Divine Ability Heaven-grade Divine Ability Peerless Divine Abilities, or Spirit Artifact Law Artifact, magic artifacts, treasure artifacts, Dao artifacts, or talismans, formations, and golden cores, their core principle is talismans and formations.
Just like how the essence of technology is boiling water.
The Bao Xiang Ru Lai: "Then where do the Daoist texts come from?"
Yang Ning shrugged. "Isn't this exactly the problem I'm struggling with right now?"
The Bao Xiang Ru Lai and then sighed deeply.
"What's wrong?" Yang Ning asked.
The lesson hasn't even started yet, and you're already sighing and complaining. You're not a very qualified teacher!
"It's nothing!" Bao Xiang Ru Lai shook his head. To be honest, the more he learned about Yang Ning, the more he was moved.
It's such a pity that such a disciple isn't accepted into the Buddhist order!
He has many disciples, but none of them have ever thought about creating their own Peerless Divine Abilities, let alone creating Dao script.
I didn't know Yang Ning before, that's one thing, but now I really don't know until I compare, and the gap is getting bigger and bigger!
The Bao Xiang Ru Lai: "The Bodhi mind is neither existent nor created, and transcends words. Bodhi is mind. Mind is sentient beings. If one can understand this, it is called a Bodhisattva cultivating the Bodhi mind. Bodhi is neither past, future, nor present. Likewise, mind and sentient beings are neither past, future, nor present. One who can understand this is called a Bodhisattva. Yet, in this there is truly nothing to be gained. Because there is nothing to be gained, one attains. If one has nothing to be gained in all dharmas, this is called attaining Bodhi."
Bodhi is the name given to Daoist texts in Buddhist scriptures.
Yang Ning, with his exceptional literary skills, understood the passage and said, "The Dao is the mind, and the mind is all living beings?"
"Indeed!" Bao Xiang Ru Lai.
"What do you mean?" Yang Ning asked.
"If there were no living beings, what would become of the Heavenly Dao?" Bao Xiang Ru Lai, "The hearts of all living beings and the laws of Heaven and Earth, when combined, constitute the Way."
"How exactly should we do it?" Yang Ning asked.
The Bao Xiang Ru Lai shook his head and remained silent.
"No, if you lecture like that, who can understand it?" Yang Ning was speechless.
"The wise appear wise, and the foolish appear foolish!" Bao Xiang Ru Lai.
Yang Ning waved his hand. "Alright, alright, you can have the tea yourself. I'll take my leave!"
Why are you being so mystical? Can't you explain the techniques in a simpler and more detailed way? No wonder your disciples are getting worse and worse than your masters, and no wonder the Cultivation World is getting worse with each generation.
Watching Yang Ning vanish into light and shadow, Bao Xiang Ru Lai shook his head with a wry smile. Was he still not satisfied?
But this is indeed everything related to the founding of their Buddhist tradition.
If you don't understand, there's nothing I can do, because I don't understand it myself.
If I wanted to understand, wouldn't I have created my own path?
He poured himself a cup of tea, then picked up the cup and took a sip.
"He hasn't reached the realm of creation, yet he can create a taste that's indistinguishable from real tea. What a pity!" The child is too talented; he can't be taught.
Yang Ning actually felt that Bao Xiang Ru Lai protective of his own knowledge, so he used the Heavenly Emperor's Eye several times to scan the entire temple, directly copying all the written records. Then, Deep Blue summarized and categorized them, finally confirming the findings.
The Bao Xiang Ru Lai did not hold anything back; what he said was all the relevant traditions of their Buddhist school.
However, it's not entirely accurate to say that all of these are theoretical concepts.
There are also some experiences of Buddhist and Daoist predecessors who personally practiced and founded their own paths, but the Bao Xiang Ru Lai did not mention them.
Bao Xiang Ru Lai himself probably didn't know, since there are so many classic texts in a lineage, even the eldest son of a family couldn't possibly read them all.
"Bodhi is the mind, and the mind is all sentient beings!"
"The Divine Ability of the Great Dragon Physiognomy is the most advanced skill among all dragon races."
"The Virtuous Monk Pudu made a great vow to save all sentient beings. After wandering in the mortal world for nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years, he finally received the Buddha's mercy and the 'Sutra of Pudu Sutra' was bestowed upon him."
"Huh?"
Yang Ning seemed to have discovered something, and immediately looked back at Taiheng, as well as various classics he had obtained from other worlds.
The phrase "A certain cultivator, having diligently cultivated his own path for ten thousand years, received the favor of Heaven and Earth, and was granted a classic text" seems to be a fixed sentence structure, used by many sects when describing their elders.
Yang Ning had previously ignored this statement because he thought it was a realistic way for future generations to say something to elevate the prestige of their ancestors and family lineage.
One of the Cultivation Method was passed down by a drunken monk.
One of the Cultivation Method was passed down from the Heavenly Dao.
It goes without saying which of these two statements is more sophisticated and convincing.
But what if—and I mean what if—these words weren't just idle talk, but actually happened?
After summarizing numerous cases, Yang Ning discovered that those with such language descriptions were mostly records made by the descendants of the founders of the sect.
Some founders of the same school also recorded their own accounts, which are largely similar. They all set their goals, practiced diligently and tirelessly, and eventually attained enlightenment in a certain place, creating a classic text.
The key is that they genuinely have a lineage; they're not just bragging.
This makes it much more credible.
Strip away all the boasting and mystical talk, and the final process is: set your mind on it, execute it, and eventually heaven and earth will bestow the Dao Aura, allowing the cultivator to attain enlightenment.
In modern terms, it's about choosing a topic, writing the paper, and getting the paper accepted.
"How can they be so similar? What's the underlying principle? Does Heavenly Dao also have a review mechanism?" Yang Ning turned his attention back to cultivating immortality to study this question.
When one sets a goal, one usually makes a grand vow to heaven and earth, which is to tell heaven and earth, "I have chosen this topic, so please pay attention to me!"
"Practice makes perfect" means that I began to verify my chosen topic.
If you attain enlightenment, it means that Heaven and Earth have been watching you for a long time, and they find your research interesting. So they sign and stamp it, indicating that they approve of your research. You can then use their signature to look for a job or start a company.
Yang Ning was quite familiar with the concept of the Heavenly Dao, because he had one of his own.
Deep Blue is the Dao of Heavenly Dao in the countless worlds within the Spirit Realm.
This Deep Blue doesn't usually target any specific person, nor does he act as a major villain to wreak havoc on any world.
There are too many things in the world to manage.
But he wasn't doing nothing. At least if someone was exceptionally talented, invented something remarkable, or created an outstanding theory, Deep Blue would report their name to Yang Ning, Yang Ning would then pay them some attention and allow them to enter Taiheng to cultivate immortality.
So, is the Heavenly Dao also like this? Is the Creation Dao actually a selection mechanism of the Heavenly Dao, and is Dao Text something similar to Deep Blue's attention level?
Yang Ning understood the theory, but he wasn't sure if it was actually true.
With a thought, Yang Ning conjured a rocket 118 meters tall and 6 meters in diameter in a deserted star field.
Yang Ning set up an incense table, communicated with heaven and earth with his Divine Sense, and then shouted, "Heaven above, sun and moon as witnesses, your disciple Yang Ning today establishes the Way of Nuclear Fusion, and based on the Way of Nuclear Fusion, creates the method of the hydrogen bomb. This method can destroy the heavens and the earth, its power is immeasurable, and this method can also provide boundless light, benefiting all living beings!"
I didn't feel anything. Was my voice not loud enough?
Or is it that I haven't practiced what I preached? That doesn't make sense either; I've already detonated over 70,000 bombs in Taiheng. Can that be considered a small number?
Yang Ning moved a little further away and continued, "Heavens above, come and witness the power of a hydrogen bomb explosion!"
"Boom!"
This rocket doesn't need to fly at all, so apart from a Nuclear Bomb for detonation, the entire massive rocket body is filled with fusion fuel.
Therefore, this is the largest hydrogen bomb ever created by Yang Ning!
How powerful is it?
Yang Ning only saw a loud bang between heaven and earth, and then boundless light burst forth from this galaxy where life had never been seen before.
"Holy crap!" Yang Ning sensed something was wrong and quickly fled the planet, standing in space.
And then we saw that the planet he had chosen actually cracked open in the explosion of the hydrogen bomb!
Even if this planet is small, lacks a magnetic field, and is Tai Heng Star, my hydrogen bomb yield is still quite large.
Even so, Yang Ning never imagined that a single hydrogen bomb could shatter the entire planet.
"So this is what it looks like when a planet explodes!" Yang Ning filmed the whole thing. It was the first time he had ever seen a planet break apart in real life. He saw endless rocks and soil being ejected into the sky from the break, becoming scattered meteorites and dust.
However, the two halves of the planet did not completely separate; instead, they were slightly separated by gravity and then coupled back together.
It is conceivable that after tens of thousands of years, once the cracks disappear, this planet will merge back into one, becoming a single planet.
However, even with such immense power, Yang Ning did not sense any attention from the Heavenly Dao.
"Is my voice not loud enough, or is my cultivation level not high enough?" Yang Ning wondered.
He felt it was the latter, after all, the Heavenly Dao's attention is limited, and if it were to pay attention, it would be to those powerful beings in the Spiritual Law Realm, how could it possibly pay attention to a cultivator at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer.
"Try again!" Yang Ning selected a planet even larger than the previous one and then created a spherical super hydrogen bomb with a diameter of 3,000 meters.
This hydrogen bomb is tens of thousands of times more powerful than the previous one!
Yang Ning did not rush to detonate. Instead, he first activated the Pangu Particle that were spread throughout the Pinwheel Galaxy, causing them to absorb and release energy from a star in one direction.
This operation allows the entire river system to alternate between light and dark, like a breathing light flickering.
The key is that although there are many Pangu Particle, their scale is extremely small, and cultivators cannot sense them at all.
But if it is the Heavenly Dao, it can definitely sense it.
After all, this is the entire galaxy breathing!
Yang Ning stood on the highest mountain on this planet, kneeling with a devout expression.
The Heavenly Dao is the ultimate truth of a world, Yang Ning, as a scientist, has a faith in the truth that is no less than that of any cultivator.
Moreover, who dares to play tricks on the will of Heavenly Dao?
"Ten seconds!"
"Twenty seconds!"
Thirty seconds!
Will it come?
Forty seconds!
"Fifty seconds!"
Yang Ning suddenly felt a weight on his heart, as if something was pressing heavily on it.
"It's here!" Yang Ning instantly understood; the Heavenly Dao had arrived.
This pressure was exactly the same as the pressure he felt when he underwent his tribulation, except that it was much stronger and had an indifferent quality, as if a supreme god was looking down on all things.
Does Heavenly Dao have a spirit? Or does Heavenly Dao not?
Actually, none of that matters. Unless you are Dugu Baitian, the Heavenly Dao will always be your father.
Yang Ning devoutly chanted. "Heavenly Dao above, your disciple Yang Ning has created the Way of Nuclear Fusion. This Way can destroy heaven and earth, causing immense suffering to all living beings, and it can also bring endless light, allowing all living beings to enjoy boundless wealth and glory, creating a paradise on earth, a Buddhist kingdom on the ground!"
The oppressive aura remains, indicating that the Heavenly Dao has not yet departed.
Yang Ning continued, "I beseech Heavenly Dao to witness this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, boundless light exploded in front of them, and the entire world was as if a second sun had set. Mountains, rocks, soil, deserts, everything, everything was melted in the violent explosion.
Yang Ning watched the scene before him with a fanatical expression. The hydrogen bomb explosion was something he could watch countless times without ever getting tired of it!
He wasn't afraid that Heavenly Dao would see him as a great demon, because the demonic path truly existed in this world.
If Daoist arts like the Great Blood River Technique and the Great Curse Technique can exist openly and legitimately, why can't hydrogen bombs exist?
Moreover, controlled Nuclear Fusion is something that can benefit mankind so much that it is no exaggeration to say that it is a great merit. There is no reason why Heavenly Dao can tolerate even Demonic Dao Divine Abilities, but not allow such a great Divine Ability to exist!
Yang Ning left that planet and arrived at a nearby one.
There are quite a few planets in this star system, but like the previous one, this planet is uninhabited!
But this planet also has something special about it: it also possesses a magnetic field!
In other words, as long as Yang Ning creates an atmosphere on this planet, it can be preserved by the planet.
"My Nuclear Fusion also has a side that benefits all living beings. Let me show you!" Yang Ning activated the Primordial Creation Technique with all his might, first setting up 30,000 Nuclear Fusion power plants on the planet, and then erecting antennas.
My Law Power is running low!
As soon as Yang Ning had this thought, he felt a continuous stream of power coming from the void. He could not only use it without any hindrance, but he could even transform it into Nightmare Immortal Method!
"It seems that Nightmare Energy is also something under the Heavenly Dao. I thought it came from outside the universe!" Yang Ning confirmed another conjecture, which is actually quite normal.
The last Nightmare Tribulation was 300,000 years ago, and Zhao even successfully subdued the Nightmare Energy using the <Dragon Transformation>.
Since Zhao is a life form of this world, his subjugation of the Nightmare Energy is equivalent to the subjugation of the Heavenly Dao. Even if the Nightmare Energy did not belong to this world 300,000 years ago, it should belong to it after Zhao.
With an unlimited supply of Law Power, Yang Ning immediately unleashed his full power.
First, ignite the methane in the air, which will produce a large amount of water and carbon dioxide.
The water was collected by Yang Ning, forming rivers and lakes.
As for carbon dioxide, Yang Ning created a large number of trees, flowers, and fungi to cover the entire planet.
He can create life, so creating trees and flowers is even easier for him.
Since the ground lacked the minerals necessary for plant growth, Yang Ning created them himself.
Microorganisms, fungi, bacteria, viruses.
Skyscrapers, cars, highways, stadiums, parks, gardens.
With unlimited Law Power and unlimited computing power, Yang Ning created an entire world's biosphere and hundreds of cities in just a short time!
But that's not the end of the story; life is still missing!
Yang Ning extracted it directly from the Spirit Realm. The Primordial Creation Technique was far more convenient than cloning; as long as there was infinite energy, infinite life could be created.
And now, putting everything else aside, Yang Ning truly possesses limitless energy!
Kittens, puppies, cranes, cows, and horses began to appear in this world.
The final step is... people!
Yang Ning created a world with highly developed Nuclear Fusion energy in the Spirit Realm, and then directly transported the people from it there.
Finally, Yang Ning stood atop the mountain and snapped his fingers lightly.
The frozen world instantly came to life!
The physical constants, planetary weights, Earth-Moon distance, human landscapes, star positions, and even the cats and dogs in both worlds are exactly the same as in the original world.
Naturally, the humans who were transported to another world felt nothing and continued their normal lives: going to work, going to school, working, dating, getting married, boxing, and playing video games.
The major powers on the planet remained completely oblivious, continuing their usual routines of arguing, fighting, holding meetings, forming alliances, engaging in confrontations, and launching rockets.
A picture of peace and prosperity.
"How is it?" Yang Ning looked at the familiar planet, the familiar people, and the familiar scenery in front of him, his expression fluctuating.
Even though it's a world he created himself, how could he not distinguish between reality and illusion?
Even knowing it was fake, Yang Ning still felt an overwhelming sense of emotion listening to them speak their own language and tell stories she knew well.
I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to go back in this lifetime?
The next moment, a thunderclap echoed in the clear sky.
But none of the billions of people on the planet heard it; only Yang Ning smiled wryly.
He felt it; golden characters fell from the sky and appeared before him, flickering in and out of focus, just like the cosmic breath he had created earlier.
If one were a cultivator, one should shout at this moment, "My path to immortality is complete!"
But he's Yang Ning, and all he can say is, "Heavenly Dao is awesome!"
Then he instantly threw himself into Daowen's arms.
After a moment, he understood the meaning of the Daoist text.
It is not the Nuclear Fusion Technique.
It is not the "Primordial Creation Technique".
It is not the <Pangu Particle>.
Instead:
<The Heavenly Dao True Words>!
Translated into Chinese, it should be called "The Dictionary of the Language of Heavenly Dao Principles"!
