Three Sword Questions of Life, Blocking the Dao Ancestor's Attainment

What do you want to know?

In the Purple Firmament Palace of the Heaven Beyond Heaven, the Dao Ancestor looked down at Lü Yan and asked this question.

There are so many things I want to know...

"There are so many that even you probably couldn't answer them all."

What is freedom? What is ease? What is Human Path? What is the Great Way?

"Where did we come from? Where is the way we are going? When will it end? When will it be over?"

"These are all things I want to know, but I am not attached to them, because they are just embellishments on my life's journey and cannot control my life." He then casually took off the Pure Yang Sword he had been carrying.

Then, Lü Yan's expression changed, and he pointed his sword at the Dao Ancestor with one hand and shouted.

"The first question I ask myself is: I was born with a mastery of the Sword Dao, possessing the ability to break through all techniques with a single strike and to generate all techniques from them. Is this the result of your deliberate interference?"

Because Lü Yan's sword strike was so shocking, the Dao Proving One seeking enlightenment didn't even have time to react.

Since the birth of the Heaven Beyond Heaven, this is the first time someone has so rudely pointed their sword at the Dao Ancestor.

Even those Dao Proving One were immersed in their enlightenment were startled and stared at the Dao Proving One with disbelief. Those present were beings who transcended the timeline, and naturally knew how arrogant the future sword cultivators would be.

But they never expected that this first sword immortal Dao Proving successfully attain enlightenment would dare to point his sword at the Dao Ancestor.

From the sword immortal's words, the Dao Proving One even detected a different meaning, a hint that it might reveal some of the Dao Ancestor's dishonorable deeds. "Patriarch Lü? Pure Yang Patriarch Lü?"

"So that sword immortal is the ancestor of all sword sects in the world?"

"Wait, Pure Yang Primordial Spirit? The most rebellious incarnation of the Dao Ancestor?"

These exclamations came from Dao Proving One on different timelines in the future, who had already recognized Lü Yan's identity.

Regardless of the timeline, this unconventional "Pure Yang Patriarch Lü" is a legend, an object of worship for countless sword cultivators and sword immortals. "You overestimate yourself and underestimate me."

Just as Xiluo said, the Dao Ancestor of the Purple Firmament Palace was open and forthcoming with all his knowledge.

Even with such a clearly sensitive issue, the Dao Ancestor still gazed at Lü Yan with a smile.

"Do nothing, yet nothing is left undone; one gains the world by doing nothing; when one engages in action, one is not fit to gain the world."

"The so-called 'non-action' means not acting in the first place for things."

"The so-called 'nothing is left undone' means acting according to the needs of things."

Seeing the bewildered Lü Yan, the Dao Ancestor ignored the Dao Proving One listening intently nearby and patiently explained.

"If I truly wanted to control your life, I would have been controlled long ago, when you were Pure Yang Primordial Spirit."

"In fact, I never deliberately interfere with how things work; I only guide them in accordance with their natural course."

"Your talent is innate; it is your potential to become ' Sovereign Lord Donghua.'"

"You are able to break through and generate all techniques with a single sword strike because you were born in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range and possess the means to observe the endless variations of magic."

"You feel like my life has been constantly controlled by me because you are my Pure Yang Primordial Spirit, and every action you take naturally bears my mark. Even your ability to stand here and question me is influenced by the Queen Mother of the West."

A hint of barely concealed confusion flashed in Lü Yan's eyes; he felt as if he had keenly grasped the crux of the problem.

"So you don't deny that you guided the development of some things?"

Seeing Lü Yan's stubborn appearance, Dao Ancestor couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"This child is beyond redemption!"

"From the moment I was born, I have been guiding and changing the course of this world."

"Slay wicked worshippers, fight against evil spirits, and widely spread the Method of the Celestial Person..."

"Discussing traces, principles, and hearts, reshaping the Long River of Time..."

"He created heaven and earth, established the Three Realms, and transmitted the path to Dao Proving in the Purple Firmament Palace..."

"Even your birth and growth, what aspect of it wasn't influenced by me?"

Seeing that Lü Yan still had that bewildered expression, the Dao Ancestor could only sigh again and speak more bluntly.

"You are simply the inevitable result born from countless coincidences..."

Even if you weren't here today, another "Patriarch Lü" would be standing in front of me. Do you understand what I'm saying?

Finally realizing what was happening, Lü Yan's eyes widened, but his expression grew even colder.

If the previous questioning was merely a statement of opinion, then Lü Yan's current outburst is genuine anger.

"The second question about the path of life: Is the Queen Mother of the West merely an inevitability born from chance?"

Upon hearing Lü Yan's words, the Dao Ancestor was immediately speechless.

"I am your attempt to explore the path of Refining Emptiness and Uniting with the Dao..."

"The Primordial Beginning Heavenly Demon's ' Myriad Daos Return to One ' is also an attempt..."

"Supreme Lord Lao's ' Sage Tours the Heavens Heaven' was merely one of your attempts..."

"Even the Ten Halls of the Nether Capital, the Numinous Firmament Treasure Hall, and even the Precious Lotus Lantern and the Demon-Refining Pot were all your attempts to explore the Dao of Refining Emptiness and Uniting with the Dao..." "But what about the Queen Mother of the West? What about your disciples? What about your relatives and friends?"

At this point, Lü Yan paused slightly, but his eyes were sharp and chilling.

"You want to Refining Emptiness and Uniting with the Dao and achieve transcendence; I can understand that."

"Even your manipulation of my life, making me explore the realm of Refining Emptiness and Uniting with the Dao for you..."

"Aside from feeling a little awkward, I can understand."

"But with your wisdom and Divine Ability, can't you even try to understand the thoughts of those around you?"

After an unusually long silence, the Dao Proving One saw a trace of weariness on the Dao Ancestor's face for the first time.

"Stay!"

"You have already reached the pinnacle of the Three Realms, becoming Dao Ancestor admired by countless people. Why then pursue that elusive path of transcendence? Immortality and the company of family—isn't this life good enough?"

"I'm just a substitute you prepared. I can feel everyone's affection for you, so why can't you see it?"

Lü Yan's voice wasn't loud at the moment, but it resounded throughout the entire Purple Firmament Palace.

Unfortunately, just as most people cannot understand Lü Yan's pursuit of freedom and ease, he obviously cannot understand the Dao Ancestor's dedication to seeking the Dao.

Is this your second question?

"If that's the case, I can tell you definitively."

"The road is right there, and I've already seen it. I'll regret it for the rest of my life if I don't take it."

A hint of dejection flashed across his eyes, and Lü Yan exhaled a deep breath.

"I am indeed not you, and I cannot understand you."

"But I'm certain that I won't be the only one standing up to stop you from achieving enlightenment!"

As he spoke, Lü Yan's robes fluttered without wind, and the long sword in his hand faintly emitted Sword-Ray.

"The third question at the end of life: If all beings in the Three Realms were to obstruct your path to enlightenment, would you ruthlessly kill them Three Realms?!"

When this thunderclap resounded throughout the entire Heaven Beyond Heaven, everyone looked at Lü Yan as if he were a madman.

Is it necessary to drag all living beings in the Three Realms into your conflict with the Dao Ancestor?
