Daxuan Wusheng: Start by practicing and adding points

Chapter 577: Exploring the Mysteries of Life
life.

This is an extremely complex concept and one of the fundamental mysteries of the way of creation.

It sounds as if it is not as mysterious as the mysteries of cause and effect, all aspects, etc., but in fact, comprehending the mystery of life is not much less difficult than the mysteries of cause and effect, all aspects, etc. In the great way of creation, the five fundamental mysteries are almost the same.

Birth is a part of life.

Being alive is also part of life.

Even death is a part of life.

Wherever Chen Mu looked, he saw not only those powerful warriors, but also the civilians and common people in the world.

He saw a baby being born in a simple and dilapidated house, and the poor tenant wearing patched and worn clothes looked happy and cheering.

He also saw an old man covered with a brocade quilt passing away quietly in the ancient, beautiful and elegant attic, with his descendants surrounding the bed and weeping.

He saw that some people were determined to become the best, to fight resolutely, and to strive to become stronger.

He also saw people guarding a small piece of land and living day by day.

……

Are all lives equal?
A long time ago, Chen Mu, who had not yet stepped into the martial arts, might have answered no, and after he started practicing martial arts, he would have answered yes. But after he reached the divine realm, he felt that maybe it was not.

Life is not equal, and people's joys and sorrows are never the same. Although no matter who you are, unless you enter the realm of God, you will eventually experience birth, old age, sickness and death, but this equality does not come from life, but from time.

In the face of time, everything is fair and all living things are equal!
But life...

Life is very complicated. From the moment they are born, they are born with "life" as the foundation, and at the same time give birth to "all spirits". At the same time, from the moment they are born, they are involved in cause and effect. Their every move will have an impact on the direction of the world, even if this impact may be insignificant, it always exists.

Different lives symbolize various aspects of life. Based on the wisdom of all spirits, they have the ability to create and create things that have never existed before.

Among the five fundamental mysteries of creation, none of them exists independently; they are always entangled and connected with each other.

This kind of entanglement is a good thing and an inspiration when trying to integrate the mysteries, but it is a distraction when comprehending the fundamental mysteries. No matter which mystery you focus on, you will be disturbed by the entanglements caused by the other ones.

but.

This interference had little impact on Chen Mu.

Because although this will affect his comprehension of the mysteries of life, at most it will slightly reduce his efficiency in gaining experience points. At the same time, the experience of several other fundamental mysteries will also increase. Even if it is only a few scattered points, it is still an increase.

For ordinary people, scattered insights are actually not of much use. If they want to comprehend a complete fundamental mystery, they need to spend a long time to accumulate a large and sufficient number of insights of a certain lineage, and then try to piece these insights together into a complete string, and finally complete enlightenment and thoroughly understand this lineage.

But for Chen Mu, accumulation is accumulation, it is real experience.

There is no so-called bottleneck in front of him. As long as he accumulates enough, he can cross the threshold ahead.

Watching countless lives in the world being born, living, and dying, Chen Mu's heart was also filled with his own insights and accumulations.

"Life is not equal, at least from the moment of birth, they are unequal, but the wisdom given to all living beings by all spirits is equal, and anyone can rely on wisdom to change themselves..."

Chen Mu thought about his own rise, from an unknown low-level servant to the free and transcendent master of a world.

He was born at the bottom of the society and had no advantages, but with his wisdom and hard work, he had reached his present state step by step. All living things have the same wisdom and creativity.

His mind suddenly returned to the time when he was comprehending the Avenue of Time, and the world to which the system panel sent him. He had experienced many reincarnations, and for most of those reincarnations, he had been comprehending Buddhism.

I vaguely remember that there was a statement in the Buddhist scriptures that all sentient beings possess the wisdom of the Tathagata.

At first, Chen Mu's main focus of enlightenment was the Great Dao of Time, and his research on Buddhism was more of a matter of course. But now that he thinks about it carefully, the principles in these Buddhist scriptures are definitely not something that ordinary beings can point out.

For example, this statement has many different interpretations, but when applied to the life context that he is currently comprehending, it states that all life has infinite possibilities.

If this is the case, then all lives are equal.

But if such words were put into the Daxuan world, I am afraid that any master figure would sneer at them.

Is it possible for anyone to become a god?

joke!

Throughout history, even great heroes like Xuantian Daoist Master and Donglin Jianzun were unable to cross that threshold.

These are peerless geniuses born among the hundreds of millions of human beings. They are born with supreme aptitude and talent. There is a world of difference between them and ordinary people who are not born with the aptitude for martial arts, have extremely poor qualifications, and are dull in wisdom!

If even they cannot reach the threshold of the divine realm, how can ordinary mortals become gods?
But the World-Honored One said, yes!

In the past, Chen Mu might have scoffed at this as well, but now that he had reached the divine realm and was the master of a world, he could vaguely grasp the life pulse of all living beings. He experienced it carefully and felt that it was indeed not impossible.

Because as early as when he started practicing martial arts, he knew a truth: there is always a way out, and no matter how great the disaster is, there is always a glimmer of hope. This is also recognized by all the masters and blood-changing beings, because they can become masters and ascend to the blood-changing stage because they have all experienced the line between life and death and have all walked out of disasters.

If we expand on this, all life has a chance.

Grinding the skin, training the muscles, strengthening the tendons, and toughening the bones... these step-by-step thresholds for martial arts training have never been absolute. For those with the worst and most mediocre roots, it is just extremely difficult to step over each threshold, as difficult as ascending to heaven, but not impossible.

"But what about the creatures in the small and middle worlds?"

Although Chen Mu agreed that all living things have all possibilities, there is still something unclear in his mind. In a big world like the Daxuan World, any living thing does have a glimmer of possibility, because nothing is absolute, including the threshold to the divine realm.

But in those middle and small realms, how can life break through to the divine realm?

This seems to be a dead end.

Chen Mu's divine body was observing an intermediate realm. According to Chen Mu's observation, that world could only produce people at the level of marrow cleansing masters at most, and it was impossible for people at the blood exchange level to appear.

How can one become a god if the path to blood transfusion is cut off? Even Chen Mu today cannot imagine this.

Although he could indeed imagine some things, such as the system panel. If a certain creature in that world had it, it would not be impossible to enter the divine realm. However, this was with the help of external forces, not relying on oneself.

Chen Mu still didn't know how to break the restrictions of the world in the middle realm.

"By the way, maybe we can go find some wood to discuss this."

Chen Mu muttered to himself.

Although Xunmu's realm is not very high, and like him, he is also on the threshold of entering the Tao of Creation and has not truly realized the mystery of life, but after all, Xunmu's life essence is high enough. He is a creature created by a God of Creation. Regarding this aspect of life, he must have many insights and interpretations of his own.

Now he is fully qualified to discuss philosophy with Xunmu. If he can learn more about the mysteries of life from Xunmu, it will undoubtedly be of great help to him. At least his experience points will definitely increase a lot.

Think about this.

Chen Mu immediately retracted his gaze, looked outside the world, then took a step forward and went to find the wood.

……

at the same time.

Somewhere in the middle world in the distant void.

Chen Mu's divine body stood in front of the boundary wall, observing the inside of the world through the boundary wall.

His gaze still remained on that tribe.

At this moment, the old tribal priest returned to the bottom of the pit containing the power of the earth veins, and was using the power of the earth veins to temper his body with a crude method.

Chen Mu observed this scene carefully, and suddenly an idea occurred to him.

hum! !

Although Chen Mu's thought here was just a sudden flickering thought, but now he has reached the divine realm. Every thought of his is power. Just this little bit of power surged, and it caused the power of heaven and earth in this world to violently shake!
The will of heaven and earth composed of pure rules stirred up a surging force of heaven and earth, as if it was roaring at Chen Mu, resisting Chen Mu, and demanding that Chen Mu leave quickly.

However, Chen Mu ignored the rejection of the will of heaven and earth, and he still turned his gaze towards that tribe.

now.

Because of the turbulence in the will of heaven and earth, the power of heaven and earth trembled slightly, causing slight vibrations in the interior of the entire middle realm, and the vast and surging power of the earth veins also caused some ripples.

The old tribal priest was sitting cross-legged in the pit where the earth veins converged, practicing. At this moment, he suddenly groaned, opened his eyes, and seemed to have suffered a backlash. His face turned pale.

His face was filled with horror, and he quickly jumped out of the pit, kneeling down towards the earth power in the pit.

He began to mumble some prayer words.

Now Chen Mu has entered the realm of God. Mundane language does not pose any obstacle to him. He can interpret its meaning with just a thought. The words uttered by the priest in front of him are basically prayers asking for forgiveness from God.

Compared to the Daxuan world, the dwarves living underground in this middle world firmly believe in the existence of gods. Almost every tribe has an altar. As far as Chen Mu can see, almost all the dwarves in the underground caves have priests or chiefs who are prostrating themselves and praying.

After pondering for a while.

Chen Mu suddenly had an idea. He raised his hand lightly and shot a flickering light into the interior of this world.

boom!
The will of heaven and earth expressed its anger to him again.

Chen Mu didn't care about it. He just smiled and said, "Don't be angry. It may not be a bad thing for you if I teach them something."

What Chen Mu had just injected into the realm was not power, but just a little information.

Although the information from outside the world would still be rejected by the will of heaven and earth, this rejection was not so severe, so this bit of information safely crossed the sky and fell to the earth.

Crypt,

Somewhere in a remote tribe.

The tribal priest who had been observed by Chen Mu was crawling towards the earth veins and chanting prayers, but at this moment, his movements suddenly paused, and a look of astonishment first appeared on his face, followed by ecstasy.

The gods responded to him!

Everything they were born with was a gift from the gods. It was the gods who bestowed upon them the power of the earth veins, giving them the source of life, so that they could drive away the cold underground, obtain light and food, and survive.

Enjoying the gifts from gods, they naturally pray to gods every day and night to express gratitude for their gifts.

The will of the gods cannot be guessed.

This is what they understood, because they have experienced the wrath of the gods more than once. That kind of earth-shaking power is simply not something that any living being can achieve. Even the monsters that are rumored to be in the deepest part of the earth cannot do it.

But this time, he received a response from the gods, a response that contained a clear message.

The old tribal priest carefully interpreted the response from the gods, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it seemed to be a way to better utilize the power of the earth veins to practice and become stronger!

In comparison, the cultivation methods they used were so crude that they were almost unbearable to look at.

With the methods bestowed by the gods, they can become more powerful, and perhaps in the future they will be able to gain enough strength to fight against the monsters underground. When those monsters attack, they will no longer become their food!
The old tribal priest was so happy that he almost danced with joy, but he forced himself to restrain himself. He first knelt there and prayed and chanted to thank the gods for their gifts. He prayed for half an hour before carefully retreating.

Chen Mu looked at this scene.

Deep in the vast underground caves, there are many monsters that are more powerful than the dwarves. It is not wrong to call them monsters. The most powerful of them can even reach the seventh level!
That is a level comparable to that of a grandmaster, and it is also the limit that this world can reach. It is a fire dragon that lives in the deepest part of the underground cave, and is now sleeping in a piece of lava.

Chen Mu saw that some tribes were being attacked by monsters.

Although the dwarves in these tribes have mastered the method of using the power of the earth veins for cultivation, due to their crude training methods, they will still become food when faced with many powerful monsters from deep underground.

He casually compiled a better method of practicing using the power of the earth veins. It wasn't because he was really kind, he just wanted to stir up a little ripple to more deeply observe the changes in life in this world.
