Understanding His True Heart, Surpassing His Forebears
After finally calming their excitement, the Liu Household family members frowned again. Even if they knew about their relationship with Liu Yi, it wouldn't be of any use right now.
A distant solution cannot quench an immediate thirst; Liu Wei's problem remains unresolved.
Seeing that everyone was still looking worried, Liu Wei offered some words of comfort:
"Don't worry too much, we'll deal with whatever comes our way."
The Lin Household hasn't openly opposed the marriage, so there might still be a chance for things to turn around.
Even if they really disagree, I can just wait until my cultivation level is higher and then personally go to propose marriage. It's no big deal."
Liu Jun loudly echoed, "Second brother is right! You are the most talented person in our Liu Household besides the patriarch!"
I'll definitely break through to the Divine Acupoint Realm in the future, and then I'll surely win the heart of my beloved.
Liu Hai looked at Liu Wei with relief. "It's good that Xiao Wei thinks this way. No matter what, you have to cultivate diligently. As long as you are strong enough, no problem is insurmountable."
Then he turned to Liu Jun, his tone tinged with disappointment:
"You brat, your talent for cultivation isn't bad, but you just don't put in the effort. You're only at the Late Dao Seed Realm now, it's really embarrassing."
Liu Jun muttered softly, "Grandpa, I'm just trying to have more descendants for the Liu Household! Otherwise, how could you have a great-grandson so quickly?"
Liu Hai sighed helplessly, shook his head, and ignored him.
After Liu Yi left Yunping City, he traveled with Little Yellow, stopping and starting along the way.
Along the way, the muddy dirt roads I remembered have long been replaced by wide cement roads, and I can no longer find any trace of what they used to be.
At this moment, he looked down at the cave in front of him. The once easily defensible mountain stronghold had long since disappeared, leaving only the cave entrance covered with vines and moss.
Little Yellow stared wide-eyed at it for a long time, thinking it might be hiding some secret, but after looking at it from left to right, it seemed ordinary. So, he asked in confusion:
"Master, this is just an ordinary cave, what's so interesting about it?"
Liu Yi rolled his eyes. "This is indeed an ordinary cave. It's just that I wiped out a group of bandits here back then, and used them as test subjects for my skills."
But most importantly, I obtained over a hundred Spirit Stone here.
Without those Spirit Stone, it's hard to say whether I could even Foundation Establishment.
And it was here that I encountered the Black and White Twin Swords, from whom I obtained the "Soul-Shifting Spirit-Refining Great Method".
This Cultivation Method played an indispensable role in my breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment and the creation of System 1.0.
After he finished speaking, a strange expression appeared on his face.
Looking back on his experience of obtaining the "Soul-Shifting Spirit-Refining Great Method," it was all too coincidental, as if someone had deliberately delivered the Cultivation Method to him through the hands of the Black and White Twin Swords.
Little Yellow's eyes widened in surprise. "Wow, Master, I had no idea this place was your blessed land!"
Liu Yi gazed at the cave, his eyes lingering, and murmured to himself, "I do have a heart that yearns to uphold justice and help the world, but I can't be as selfless as a saint."
At most, one can only achieve the ideal of "cultivating one's own virtue when poor, and helping others when successful."
He stood there for a moment, then turned and said, "Little Yellow, let's go."
Little Yellow quickly followed behind Liu Yi.
A month later, Liu Yi looked at Liu Household Village before him, which was no longer the same as he remembered.
The familiar thatched huts and dirt roads have all disappeared, replaced by rows of spacious and bright brick houses, and the roads underfoot have become smooth cement roads.
The fields are no longer planted with ordinary crops, but with spiritual grains such as Sun Rice, Moon Rice, and Star Rice, or various spiritual vegetables.
On the ridges of the fields, mechanical puppets patrolled back and forth, driving away pests and wild animals.
Looking at all this, the phrase "the world changes like the sea turning into mulberry fields" involuntarily came to mind.
At the same time, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. In the world of cultivation, if cultivation methods and related technologies could be popularized, the productivity and creativity that would emerge would probably far surpass those of the technological world.
Just like these magical rice and vegetables, they simply cannot exist in the technological world.
Even intelligent robots like mechanical puppets were not fully realized on Earth in the previous life.
However, the world of cultivation and the world of technology each have their own merits.
Overall, the cultivation world has greater development potential.
Liu Yi remained silent for a moment, then flew towards the ancestral graves, intending to pay respects to his parents and elder brother.
He arrived at the graves of his parents and elder brother, and gazing at the cemetery of the Liu Household ancestors, his eyes became somewhat dazed.
It seems I have truly surpassed my ancestors.
Previously, the Liu Household had never produced a cultivator at the Divine Acupoint Realm, or even any cultivator at all.
"That's right, it's about surpassing one's ancestors and lineage!"
Not only must they surpass the ancestors of the Liu Household, but they must also surpass the creators of the Immortal Cultivation System in the Azure Billows Realm.
I want to claim the title of ancestor and become the Dao Ancestor, to govern all paths, to educate all beings, and to realize the use of the Dharma for human benefit.
I want to change the world, break the corrupt old order, and carve out a path to survival for myself and for all living beings.
I also want to transcend the Multiverse, ascend to the pinnacle of the Great Way, attain eternal immortality, and enjoy great freedom and unbridled joy.
I want to travel to all the heavens and worlds, and taste all the world's delicacies.
Liu Yi suddenly entered a state of enlightenment, his body surrounded by a profound and mysterious radiance of the Great Dao.
The Great Dao Runes of the One Element flowed around him, evolving into the Great Dao of the World.
Then, the Great Dao of the World evolved into the Three Thousand Great Ways, and the Three Thousand Great Ways Return to Unity into the Great Dao of the World, and so on in a continuous cycle.
With each cycle, the Great Dao Principle become more perfect, and the aura around him grows stronger.
The "World Dao Body" Cultivation Method circulated rapidly within his body, refining the energy stored in the system to transform his own cells into World Seed.
His Mind World rapidly refined Soul Power, expanding at a visible speed.
The Mind World has grown from a diameter of 100,000 li to 180,000 li, almost doubling in size.
Little Yellow, who was standing nearby, saw Liu Yi suddenly fall into a state of enlightenment while looking at the tomb.
It was taken aback, truly puzzled as to why Liu Yi could gain enlightenment with just a glance at the tomb, while it had been looking at it for a long time without any reaction.
It couldn't help but sigh again in its heart that the difference between humans and dogs was truly outrageous.
However, its hands moved swiftly, quickly taking out the array plate it had crafted and setting up the array.
The area was shrouded in mystery to prevent outsiders from noticing the unusual occurrences and disturbing the master's enlightenment.
Time flies, and three hours have passed quietly.
The radiant light emanating from Liu Yi's body gradually faded, and the surrounding Great Dao Runes re-integrated into his body.
He slowly opened his eyes, and a flash of Great Dao Runes seemed to appear in them, as if reflecting the birth and death of all the heavens and myriad worlds.
At that moment, he felt his mind was clear and his body felt comfortable, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
"Hahaha! I have finally realized my true self and achieved unity of knowledge and action."
Next, there will be no more obstacles for me to break through to the Dao Soul Realm. At that time, I will be able to 'unite with the Dao' and achieve the initial fusion of 'essence, qi, spirit, and Dao'.
"We have taken another step closer to transcending the world and attaining eternity in the future."
Upon hearing Liu Yi's words, Little Yellow immediately wagged its tail excitedly:
"Congratulations, Master, on realizing your true nature and achieving unity of knowledge and action. The Great Way is within your reach."
Liu Yi glanced at Little Yellow, raised his hand and patted its head. "Little Yellow, you've worked hard. Thank you for protecting me."
Little Yellow squinted, nuzzled Liu Yi's hand with its head, and muttered, "Little Yellow didn't have to work hard, it was just setting up a formation."
With that, it put the array plate back.
Liu Yi took out various Spirit Cuisine and incense, and began to offer sacrifices to his parents and elder brother.
