What Is Dao? The Fist Is the Only Hard Truth
Jiang Yi, who was aware of all this, didn't care too much.
That's right!
Just as they deduced!
He was indeed heading to the Dao Seeking Stele to leave his name on the stone tablet.
This isn't because I'm bored out of my mind, or because I have nothing better to do!
As for fame and fortune, he wasn't particularly interested.
There's a reason for doing this!
He planned to use the Dao Seeking Stele to successfully enter the Enlightenment Hall deep within the formidable pass.
As far as Jiang Yi is concerned!
That place is undoubtedly an excellent retreat!
The condition for entry is that you must leave your name on the Dao Seeking Stele!
He is now!
His lifespan has reached over 2.5 million years!
So, let's calculate!
It's time for me to go into seclusion and elevate my cultivation to a higher level.
As for those so-called formidable enemies from the Outer World, we are not afraid of them, nor do we take them to heart!
When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it!
If you want to kill him, then bring it on.
The Dao Seeking Stele is not towering, but nine zhang and nine chi long, subtly embodying the Dao of Ultimate Numbers!
It stands quietly in the center of the ancient pass.
The monument is entirely gray, and appears somewhat mottled and rough.
However, its four sides, above and below, and its surroundings possess an ancient, indescribable, and immortal Daoist charm.
It seems to hint at its extraordinary nature, but it is sacred and reserved, hiding its brilliance!
On the stone tablet, lines of names are clearly visible to the naked eye.
Some are names, some are pseudonyms!
Those who remain are all exceptionally talented individuals who have left their mark on history.
He possesses an unwavering and steadfast Dao Heart, making him an unparalleled genius!
Take the early modern period as an example!
Over the past million years, fewer than twenty people have had their names inscribed on the monument.
And this number is double ten.
Most of them have already Proving Dao Success and become great Great Emperor Ancient Emperor look down upon the mortal world and stand at the pinnacle.
It can be said--
Those who can leave their names on the monument will become emperors in the future, possessing the Emperor's Bearing.
This is undoubtedly more convincing than his so-called title of "potential of a Great Emperor".
Jiang Yi strolled leisurely forward.
Beside the stone tablet are annotations from predecessors and sages explaining how to leave one's name on it.
[Fingers as knives, the Great Way as ink, before the stone tablet, your name is engraved...]
Let things take their natural course; don't force anything!
Under pairs of gazes, some surprised, some indifferent, and some expectant!
Jiang Yi slowly raised his hand.
What words should we carve?
First name? Last name?
Or a title?
Or just anything? Come up with one yourself!
He pondered for a moment, then slowly extended a finger and pressed it onto the stone tablet.
Fingers are the pens and chisels, Primordial Chaos Sage Dao is the ink!
His name began to be written on the stone tablet.
"Easy!!!"
One word is enough.
As the first stroke was made, the Dao Seeking Stele trembled violently, as if it were beginning to revive!
An ancient, profound, and indescribable Daoist aura permeated the air.
In an instant.
This dragged his mind into a vast and boundless river of time!
The long river flows mightily and ceaselessly.
It seems there is neither a beginning nor an end!
Winding and stretching on, we move forward all the way!
And on the riverbank!
Indistinctly, vaguely, it seemed as if towering, boundless figures, their true forms obscured, were appearing!
Whether sitting, standing, lying down, or reclining!
Some hold ancient scrolls to study, others play chess, some fish on bluestones, some sit cross-legged amidst the stars, and some stand alone atop a mountain peak...
They come in various shapes and have different appearances!
The only similarity, the only common point, is that --
Immeasurably magnificent!!!
At first glance, it seems to be the end of worldly cultivation, the embodiment of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao.
It represents the ultimate path!
They are the pinnacle of human existence, the most brilliant achievements on the path of cultivation.
The moment Jiang Yi saw them!
A thought involuntarily arose in his mind: those figures were all—
Emperor or Sovereign!
The invincible one throughout history once ruled and dominated an era.
Unrivaled in the world!
I am the only one who reigns supreme, above and below heaven and earth!
At the same time!
The instant he put pen to paper!
Those invincible figures throughout history seemed to sense something and all looked at him.
An Ultimate Dao Practitioners standing atop the mountain!
He spoke first, his voice like celestial music, booming like a great bell, echoing across endless time and space.
What is the Way?
The words had barely left his lips!
The heavens and earth trembled violently, and all things roared!
It resonated deep within Jiang Yi's soul, as if it were questioning him directly to the depths of his heart.
Should I ask him?
A myriad of sounds rang in his ears, like a mountain roaring and a sea surging.
To influence his mind and control his thoughts!
"The Tao is the beginning, and also the end!"
Jiang Yi spoke, and responded!
Upon hearing this!
The Ultimate Dao Practitioners on the mountaintop fell silent, and instantly the rain subsided, the wind died down, and all sounds ceased, restoring tranquility.
However, the next breath—
An Ultimate Dao Practitioners chess player looks up!
Her face was gentle and smiling as she looked at him from afar and spoke softly.
"What... is the Way?"
The sound was like a gentle breeze, capable of calming the mind of living beings and bringing them peace.
But this still goes straight to the depths of his soul, inquiring about his profound understanding of the path of Tao!
"The Tao is both illusion and reality!"
After responding!
The player remained silent, saying nothing more, but gently placed the chess piece in his hand...
In a daze!
He heard a "snap" sound coming from the endless void.
Life is like a game of chess; once a move is made, there's no going back!
Before he could even think about it—
A figure sitting on a blue stone, wearing a straw raincoat, was already looking at him.
He held a fishing rod, his back slightly hunched, like an elderly man.
However, he said the fishing spot—
But it is that ever-flowing, mighty river of time!
What is the Tao?
His voice was old and weathered, yet it also revealed a strange sense of ease and contentment.
"The Way is about freedom and unrestrained spirit!"
The old man seemed to hear this, and smiled slightly, nodding his head.
What is the Tao?
Another invincible being, an Ultimate Dao Practitioners, sent an inquiry across time and space.
Jiang Yi paused for a moment, then answered again!
It's like an endless, uninterrupted cycle.
The question and answer process rotates continuously!
Accompanied by the celestial voice of the Great Dao, surrounded by the myriad laws of nature, the whispers of the Ancient Ones, the responses of the serene...
For some reason--
Jiang Yi felt like a prisoner in a cage, being interrogated repeatedly.
It seems something is holding him back.
Trying to imprison his mind!
No! That's not right!
What is the Tao?
In the endless expanse of time and space, yet another question resounded!
"Road?!!"
Jiang Yi suddenly looked up, his gaze icy, staring straight ahead!
Separated from that so-called invincible figure of all time by layers of dark time and space—
Gazing at each other from afar!
"The Tao is me, and I am the Tao!"
"The Tao exists only when I see it, and does not exist only when I do not see it!"
"Boom!!!"
Jiang Yi raised his fist and smashed it, shattering everything in its path. The Primordial Chaos Sage Dao soared into the heavens, its power reaching the heavens.
He's throwing a punch!
Daring to punch an unrivaled force throughout history!
Problems and such are all secondary; only the fist in your hand is real.
Only might makes right!
Before the iron fist, everything will be shattered.
He only believes in himself!
