Fighting For Eternity - Chapter 262: What is Dao?
Inside a room,
Fei was sitting cross-legged on the bed. He simply had his eyes closed, looking for something in his inner heart. Dao, Dao of Ruthless, but now he was cultivating sword, he was looking for Dao of Sword.
Dao of Sword, there was only one thing that a sword could describe, it was killing. A sword was created to kill and only the blood of his enemy could fulfill its role as a weapon.
But the sword was not a mere weapon to kill either. It was profound cultivation and the cultivation of sword brings one dao to a swordsman that is sword dao.
Achieve dao? But what is dao? How to achieve it? And what makes a powerful person chase dao?
Dao is merely a path, a path towards cultivation. Since it’s a path that holds everything that a person needs to cultivate to escape from fate.
Fate or destiny might be similar but there is a vast difference. Fate can not be changed while destiny is be something one can change.
This is why people can cultivate destiny but not fate. Because you can only escape from fate, not chase it. And according to the youth of outside the creation, there is a realm, very high, that might be the highest realm outside the creation where a person can escape from his fate.
Since it is the highest realm, naturally it has its own rule that he still doesn’t understand. But even the strongest of that world can’t change fate. They can only escape, escape far away from their fate.
But eventually, they will meet another fate and that will be their demise.
There is one realm though. This realm can endlessly escape from fate. But it will still get affected by Karma. The people in this realm never meet anyone unless it is something very necessary to them.
But in an entire ten thousand worlds, some even bigger than outside the creation, inside the creation and time world combined. Just inside the creation, there are billions of universes, not to mention each universe has a number of creatures that we can not even count.
Even among such an enormous group of people, only a thousand people have reached that realm. It is the Supreme Realm that exists at the peak of Ten Thousand Words.
These thousand peoples never die, some are even older than the age of thousand universes combined.
Because they can endlessly escape their fate. But there is one realm and just a myth for anyone under Supreme Realm which can not only escape but also change their fate.
Eternal Realm is just a myth for many people but for someone like Fei, it was the goal or dream that he was chasing for.
And there is one thing that he understood. Although it is said Supreme doesn’t die, but that is only for natural death. People can kill Supreme but it is extremely difficult even if three supreme end up fighting a single supreme, it would be hard to distinguish their strength unless they show their understanding of dao.
In other words, even the people of this realm chases dao. But if Dao is the path, what are we chasing exactly? This is the thing that makes Supreme Laws equal to Dao. Because what we are chasing is control, control over life and death, control over yin and yang, control over time and space, and control over creation and destruction.
In fact, this is something that puts Supreme Laws above Daos because dao is just a path while Supreme Laws are the endgame. In contrast, those who cultivate Supreme Laws might face many setbacks, bottlenecks, and even many problems of certain talent, they eventually can get over someone who practices dao.
Because dao is infinite, it has no end, if you have no end, you’ll never reach your goal. And this is something that makes people cultivate dao instead of supreme laws. Because Supreme Laws have limits, there are points where your power of Life and Death can’t resurrect or bury a person.
There are the points where your power of Time and Space can’t confine a sword. Because Dao has no limits, countless people pursue dao, so that they won’t face a bottleneck, this might make them look like a sore loser in front of those who cultivate Supreme Laws but at the end, you will be stuck at a point.
Infinity is something every one curious to know about. Because what could be beyond infinity if the infinity has no end. Dao is the infinite road that takes a person to the peak of cultivation. But if dao itself is an infinite path, where would be the peak of cultivation?
Understanding of Dao itself is very complex this is why people need a certain realm to unlock the potential of their brain and understand dao. The human body is complex, it is full of treasures, it is full of opportunities, and it is full of potential.
This is why heaven and the universe hate humans. Because humans have every quality they need to become supreme. This is why heaven bestow talents and changes their fate. Because if everyone were to become supreme, won’t they consume the entire ten thousand worlds resources, giving nothing to other races.
And this is why divine beasts like dragons and phoenixes have enormous talent that can affect the world. Dragon bloodline, phoenix bloodline, all of these bloodlines are nothing but a conspiracy of heaven. Because without these bloodlines, humans wouldn’t be restricted.
These bloodlines restrict humans to cross the limit. But without these bloodlines, human cultivation speed would definitely be slow. Human adores short term benefits than long term and end up having those bloodlines which restrict them.
Fei understood a lot about these. During his times with that youth, he began to view the world with greater vision and understood much more concepts for the universe.
He understood the laws. And after coming to this time world, he has only one goal. Defeat his fated enemy. But his enemy is very tricky because it is himself. Yes, his enemy is his own reincarnation, so to defeat him, he must cultivate something that nothing to do with cultivation.
Knowledge, sword knowledge, also normally known as sword cultivation. Only through a constant understanding of the sword, he can gain ideas about it. When he was previously shuffling through the system store, he found an interesting treasure.
“Supreme Sword Sect Treasure- Sword that holds the Heaven”
Naturally, as its name suggests, this sword was bigger than a two hundred meters tree. One its peak size, its height can increase to the distance between hundreds and thousands of miles. This sword was not only long and tough but also had a lot of treasures hidden inside of it.
Obviously, those treasures were the scriptures and arts that belong to the Supreme Sword Sect. And it costs thirty billion divine points to purchases. Naturally, he has more than a hundred billion divine points now, he didn’t hesitate to buy it.
When he bought the sword, it naturally didn’t appear inside the house. It appeared above, floating with a height of ten thousand miles, it was above the entire village. Holding the Supreme Sword Sect Master token, he directly entered the space inside the sect.
The space was very large, and there were lots of bookracks on the ground floor. He didn’t even have to reach up, there were nearly thousands if not ten thousand books on the ground floor. Fei had some understanding and plan about it.
He didn’t hastily choose any sword cultivation art rather started reading every single technique that was kept inside.
…………..
Five years later,
Within five years, except a point where he slaughtered the Blood Dragon Gang, nothing major happened. Inside the sword, he finished up every single sword cultivation technique. He didn’t leave a single art behind.
Unfortunately, he didn’t find art that suits him the best. But still, the result wasn’t that disappointing. When he completed every single art, he found something that he needs. He found art that he needs. Of course, this was only a concept not a real art in the bookracks.
But he did find it. And, within five years he also succeeds in completing the first three levels of this technique and had the concept of a final ending. It was extremely powerful and following the concept of Life and Death Sword, it was very different from other sword techniques. He named it.
“Ruthless Sword Dao Technique”
An extremely complex art that completely relies on the Dao of Sword and Dao of Ruthlessness at the same time. And it was really ruthless, to the point where the cultivator must kill himself to complete this task.
Yes, kill himself, not suicide but rather dying to live. Because once the final stage is completed, he can become immortal, real immortal unless someone whose sword knowledge exceeds his, or someone’s whose power exceed him, no one can kill him on the same level.
This was the first thing that he created by himself which can turn him invincible in the same level.
