The Final Transmission of the Dao

Heaven Beyond Heaven, the Purple Firmament Palace.

"So that's what you were after!"

Nodding in realization, the Dao Ancestor on the giant stone tablet smiled.

"You want to use the 'Three Questions of Life' to break my Dao Heart?"

"It seems you've learned quite a variety of things from Xiluo and the others over the past ten years?"

"Was this something Wangshu taught you?"

"But didn't she ever tell you that I am the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Demon?"

"Don't even mention you, even if the Moon Demon himself descended, he couldn't break my Dao Heart."

As he said this, the Dao Ancestor's smile grew even brighter.

It was a smile of satisfaction, a smile of joy at witnessing a younger generation attempting to challenge him.

After all, apart from Li Jingshu and Lu Huaijin, Wangshu was probably the one who listened to Li Boyang the most, even Jinjiao couldn't compare to her. But now, even Wangshu has taught Lü Yan the "Sword of Life's Three Questions", which shows how strong her desire to obstruct the path is.

"But at least it worked somewhat, didn't it?"

The Udumbara Flower weariness on Dao Ancestor's face flashed through his mind, and Lü Yan spoke with a firm tone.

"My mission was never to stop you, nor did I ever think I could stop you single-handedly."

"My purpose in coming here is solely to confirm one thing—whether you are currently Refining Emptiness and Uniting with the Dao and Refining Emptiness and Uniting with the Dao!"

Shaking his head, Dao Ancestor interrupted Lü Yan's speech.

"I didn't lie to you, so don't lie to me either."

Whether I am Refining Emptiness and Uniting with the Dao something everyone knows perfectly well.

"The Queen Mother of the West knows, and you know, that the so-called 'confirmation' is nothing but an excuse, a reason."

Whether it 'Xiluo or Lü Yan...

Aside from their personalities, they are undoubtedly intelligent people.

Before the plan was even put into action, the two had already guessed most of the truth.

But Xiluo wanted to ascertain Li Boyang's determination to Refining Emptiness and Uniting with the Dao, and to fully uncover the truth behind it.

Lü Yan wanted to figure out the meaning of his life, and incidentally repay Xiluo's kindness.

However, based on this, Lü Yan's thinking was clearly a bit deeper than Xiluo's.

Or perhaps it's because of their different perspectives that Lü Yan is able to see the essence of the problem more clearly than Xiluo.

In Xiluo's view, Li Boyang's pursuit of Refining Emptiness and Uniting with the Dao was tantamount to "suicide."

Leaving aside the inherent dangers of Refining Emptiness and Uniting with the Dao, whether Li Boyang can successfully traverse this path is entirely unknown.

Just looking at all the preparations the other party made beforehand, it was practically suicide.

To prevent all of this from happening, Xiluo decided to join forces with Wangshu and Jinjiao to stop Li Boyang from seeking the Dao by appealing to his emotions and using force. Thus, Xiluo's plan to forcibly prove the [Dao of Immortals] came about.

Even when she lacked both strength and wisdom, she was even willing to unite with those Dao Proving One in the pool and share power.

However, in Lü Yan's eyes, all of this was completely different.

Lü Yan was very clear about one thing: the Dao Ancestor was actively disappearing, actively severing all connections and causal ties between himself and the outside world. He was merely a substitute used by the Dao Ancestor to bear this causal burden, and there were many other incarnations who played the same role as him.

Even setting aside the disparity in military strength between the two sides.

This kind of all-or-nothing determination alone cannot be swayed by simple emotional appeals.

At the very least, after the previous verification, Lü Yan was certain that the Dao Ancestor's desire to seek the Dao was extremely firm, and he could not be dissuaded by a few words.

Regardless of whether the other party's request for Refining Emptiness and Uniting with the Dao is suicide...

Regardless of whether the other party values the "seeking of the Way" more than anything else...

In any case, Lü Yan had no intention of carrying out the plan that was fundamentally doomed to fail, as originally intended.

"You want to sever your karmic ties with the Three Realms; you want to disappear without a trace..."

"I'll do the opposite of what you want! The more you try to disappear without a trace, the more I'll make sure all beings in the Three Realms know of your existence!" Especially here on the Long River of Time, in this place that gathers all those Dao Proving One in the past, present, and future—it's the perfect place for exposure."

"When no one can ignore your existence, it's only when you slaughter all living beings in the Three Realms and destroy the past and future."

"Otherwise, you'll never be able to sever this causal relationship, and then secretly transfer everything about yourself to us, your incarnations!" When Lü Yan said this, even the most foolish Dao Proving One understood the meaning behind his words.

The Dao Ancestor wanted to weaken his own presence and sever the karmic ties within him in order to achieve the goal of reducing to emptiness and Refining Emptiness and Uniting with the Dao to unite with the Dao. However, this Pure Yang Patriarch Lü deliberately went against the grain, deepening the Dao Ancestor's connection with the Three Realms.

From her stunning debut at the beginning, to pointing her finger at the Dao Ancestor with "Three Questions about Life," and now to revealing the truth without any concealment...

Lü Yan was not at all like Xiluo imagined; he hadn't simply come to confirm whether the Dao Ancestor was Refining Emptiness and Uniting with the Dao.

His ultimate goal was to make all the Dao Proving One present an audience.

The Dao Proving One present came from endless time and space, past, present, and future. Their very existence was a seed, a seed that spread the truth.

The more people who know the truth, the more difficult it will be for the Dao Ancestor to transcend.

"So what that kid said wasn't an exaggeration after all?"

"If he does it this way, all beings in the past, present, and future Three Realms will truly become obstacles to the Dao Ancestor's attainment of enlightenment!"

Gently stroking the Little Golden Crow on her shoulder, Xihe and muttered softly.

"Do you really think the Dao Ancestor would slaughter all living beings in the Three Realms and destroy the past and future, just so he could attain enlightenment?"

Gazing up at the Dao Ancestor and Lü Yan, who were still locked in a staring contest, the Little Golden Crow didn't reply immediately. Instead, it thoughtfully flapped its wings. "From what I understand, the Dao Ancestor isn't that kind of person."

"If he could truly slaughter all living beings in the Three Realms and destroy the past and future in order to Dao Proving, he wouldn't have chosen to sever his own karma in this way."

In Great Unity's view, the reason why Lü Yan dared to defy the Dao Ancestor was because the Dao Ancestor was too benevolent.

If it were me, I wouldn't use such a weak method to sever the cause and effect.

Anyone who dares to stand in his way is his enemy; he should simply kill them.

Moreover, Great Unity felt that something was amiss, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what the problem was.

"It seems... you're not the only one who thinks this way."

Muttering to herself with a half-smile, Xihe's gaze swept over the Dao -Dao Proving One around her.

Those Dao Proving One showed no concern whatsoever about being silenced by the Dao Ancestor; instead, they seemed to enjoy watching the spectacle.

"Have you guessed something?"

Great Unity suddenly turned to look at Xihe, knowing her wisdom better than anyone else.

Xihe's actions were never meaningless; her pointing out the attitudes of the group of Dao Proving One at this time could only mean that she had discovered something.

"Do you think this situation could be considered a form of alternative preaching?"

Instead of answering Great Unity's question immediately, Xihe simply smiled and said this.

"Practice reduction to achieve emptiness, Refining Emptiness and Uniting with the Dao..."

"After that kid's outburst, it seems like everyone knows how to take the next step."

After Xihe's reminder, Great Unity's pupils suddenly dilated, and the Dao Proving One were relatively close to the two of them couldn't help but Facial Features.

"You mean... Dao Ancestor did this on purpose?"

Faced with Great Unity's question, Xihe simply repeated with an unchanged smile what the Dao Ancestor had told Lü Yan.

"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."

Suddenly realizing what was happening, Great Unity looked again at the Dao Ancestor on the stone tablet and understood Xihe's meaning.

"Chi never deliberately does certain things..."

"Everything that's happening now is simply a matter of taking advantage of the situation and going with the flow."

"Because the Queen Mother of the West and Patriarch Lü wanted to prevent him from attaining enlightenment, this confrontation occurred, and thus this transmission of the Dao took place."

Whether it was admiration or speechlessness, Great Unity's gaze towards the Dao Ancestor was extremely complex.

"That guy really hasn't forgotten his original intentions!"

Despite his emotions, Great Unity's expression became unusually calm at this moment.

"Unfortunately, this should be Chi's last time preaching."
