Multiverse Conquest: Rise of the Saiyan Empire - Chapter 197: Attainement

The solemn aura grew even a tad bigger:

He smiled, behind his faint smile, seemed to appear the deepest secret of the Multiverse:

“There are actually numerous other paths.”

“But if I were to summarize them I would place them in a spectrum where the The Path of Research stand in an end, another Path stand in the Middle and the last stand on the other.”

“The Path in the Middle is a path based on belief…”

“…Belief in the supranatural or belief in the Unnatural.”

The Two Shinigami took a deep breath.

“The Belief, that the world isn’t as one dimensional or as Manichaean that it appears to be.”

“It’s stems from the wish of the mortals to find those irregularities and explore those mysteries.”

“From that belief and that wishful thought stems the power to understand the irregularities and flaws of the world.”

“But it is in this irregularities and flaws that the essence of the world becomes much clearer.”

“If I were to choose…A word that gave it’s most meaning…”

He smiled lightly:

“It would be ‘exploration’.”

“It’s a path when mortals use his spirit, his logic and sense to actually go against the laws of the Heavens and against the Logic of the Humans.”

Urahara narrowed his eyes. The Emperor continued:

“….To be able to understand the Mysteries of the World…”

“… One has to abandon regularity.”

“This is when Magi are created.”

“The power created from is called Magic.”

Urahara didn’t need to be introduced to Magic as he heard of it for centuries in the Mortal World.

He spoke with a little laugh:

“…Magic is illogical and rebellious by nature…”

He smiled lightly:

“…But it is exactly in the barrier between the illogical, the impossible…That Magi pursue the truth behind the world, the Multiverse and it’s creation.”

Urahara’s attention was peeked and his interest skyrocketed, so was Yoruichi’s.

“The Magi comprehend the truth of the Universe through Challenging it’s fundamental laws.”

“Through exploring it’s most hidden mysteries, that baffle the scientific mind and the Universe itself.”

“…This is what I call…The Path of Mysteries.”

“And those that embark on it are named Magi.”

Urahara sighed deeply:

‘The Path of Mysteries, huh…’

He felt deep excitement just by trying to imagine the though process of a person like that!!

The Emperor kept a calm gaze, as his words were simple and clear to understand:

“Now…On the Other side of the Spectrum…Lies another Path and maybe the more unintuitive for Scientitists.”

“It is called the Path of the Dao.”

Urahara took a deep breath:

“….The Path of the Dao…”

“The Path is built on three things.”

“Acknowledging the Dao”

“Understanding the Dao.”

“And Exploring the Dao.”

“The Path of the Dao is simply the path of comprehending a certain law in the Universe.”

“And through it…Comprehending the Universe whole.”

“The closer one is to the very essence of existence, the more perfect his Dao is…”

Urahara seemed even more baffled by those words. Marek sighed to the sky…

“It is actually not so difficult to understand….”

“The Dao is always besides us…”

He smiled :

“Every man once, stood in daze as he looked at the sea, as he stared at the stars, and as he looked over the dawn…”

“They would just look up on the glory of existence and creation.”

He sighed:

“Mortals would have some short moments of meditation…Where they feel as if the scenery of the world was carved into the deepest part of their soul…”

“It is a mystical feeling that every mortal get to experience, just by staring at creation itself and wallowing in deep sense of it’s existence…”

“This is the true essence of the Dao.”

“The normal people would feel only bafflement and ease…But there is some mortals born with talent…The Talent to communicate on a deeper level with Heaven and Earth…With the Cosmos and Galaxies…”

“And more so the talent to comprehend…these phenomena…”

“This comprehension isn’t bound by any process, any logic, any effort.”

“It is built and bound by the intimate relation mortals hold with the natural creations in the Universe.”

“Be it phenomena, be it ideas, be it emotions…In everything there is Dao.”

“It is built on a long process of arduous meditation and patience.”

The Emperor seeing the confusion on the both of them laughed lightly before continuing:

“Let’s take a simple example, shall we?”

“Fire.”

“In the eyes of a scientist, it is the simple reaction of combustion of matter.”

He narrowed his eyes:

“In the eyes of a Cultivator, however….”

“To understand ‘Fire’…”

“They will need to understand it’s meaning in the Universe.”

“It’s Role in Creation.”

“It’s Place on the Great Scheme of things.”

“Or in other words…”

He looked deeply into Urahara’s eyes:

“Comprehending Fire.”

“Creating the Path of Fire.”

“Is Understanding the Essence of Fire.”

“And this what Pursuing the Dao is all about.”

“Understanding the Intangible, unreal essence of the Multiverse.”

“And Cultivating…is merely the journey to explore the truth of this essence.”

Urahara was baffled by these words…It seemed new, yet it seemed extremely familiar.

“The Dao…”

It was like a fog in his mind was cleared:

“…Magnificent…Truly Marvelous…”

The Emperor smiled smugly:

“It’s nothing…I just happened to think a little thoroughly about this things.”

In his mind he was also in deep thought:

“The Path of the Sage…is the Path of Understanding.”

The Creation and the Completion of the Ultra Sage Mode needed him to embark on the Path of Understanding.

He continued to speak casually:

“The Gu World…is built on the path of Dao.”

“No matter how much you try to analyze…You wouldn’t be able to easily understand it.”

He looked deeply into Urahara’s eyes:

“Because no matter how much information and data you possess…”

“….You lack Attainment…”

Urahara responded with a confused tone:

“…Attainment?”

The Emperor had a profound gaze:

“The Attainment is the degree of connection and understanding a cultivator has with his respective path…”

“It actually not something as shallow and definitive as raw knowledge but…if I were to put a world on it…”

He spoke his eyes aimless in the air:

“…Familiarity.”

“The More a cultivator is familiar with a path…”

“…The More this Path becomes his own and the more ease he finds in understanding it and innovating in it…”

“…As a captain level being and a spiritual creature…you may possess basic master attainment in Soul Path…Which is actually pretty good for someone from a world on the Research side of the Spectrum.”

“But to understand Dang Hun Mountain…This is far too basic.”
