Chapter 1494: Chapter 525: Supreme, Saint, God, Three Paths Unite (Part 4)
Hel smiled as she watched Wuzhou being trampled under the foot of a certain skinny tiger.
...
...
The vast Sea of Realms.
Luo Xuan gazed at various battlefields, especially the one where the Heavenly Staircase stood, his expression shifting unpredictably.
A figure in red appeared beside him at some unknown time, with an aura so strong it wasn’t much weaker than Dou Mu without the support of the Investiture of the Gods.
Red Lotus.
All the leaders of This Shore from the past had arrived, except for the one already captured by the Heavenly Court, the "Heavenly Emperor."
"It’s now!" declared Red Lotus emphatically, leaving no room for rebuttal.
Luo Xuan’s face was a mix of emotions as he suddenly asked, "Did you foresee everything that’s happening now beforehand?"
Red Lotus replied coldly, "Who do you think I am? A True Spirit Unifier, no one can glimpse their future."
"Then how did you predict the situation would develop to this point?" Luo Xuan asked intently.
After a moment of silence, Red Lotus said, taking her time with each word, "From you, I learned of Doumu Yuanjun’s plan and was certain she would never succeed!"
"Why?"
"Because that person would never allow her to win!" Red Lotus said through clenched teeth, filled with extreme hatred, "In that person’s eyes, the fate of All Spirits surpasses everything!"
"The appearance of Ji Jingqiu was merely a convenient push by him! Even without Ji Jingqiu, there would be Mu Jingqiu, He Jingqiu!"
Luo Xuan didn’t know whom she was referring to, but according to Red Lotus, behind everything, someone is... covering the base!
He suddenly understood why Red Lotus previously refused to say more, fearing he might turn coat and become Luo Jingqiu?
Luo Xuan squinted, "Do you think the actions of the World Venerable were within that person’s expectations?"
Red Lotus was silent for a moment, then said, "Like I said, a True Spirit Unifier, no one can see its fate, not even another True Spirit Unifier. They have gathered all True Spirits and collected all possibilities, leaving only their True Spirit and..."
"And?"
Red Lotus urged, "Time is running out, haven’t you noticed? After that person left, the constraint restraining us from attaining Transcendence in this Sea of Realms is dissipating!"
Seeing Luo Xuan still expressionless, Red Lotus couldn’t help but laugh coldly:
"What, are you still contemplating the Great Dao Ancestor? First, get through this hurdle before you. Moreover, there might still be the possibility to complete this hurdle in the future!"
Hearing the final sentence, Luo Xuan displayed some spirit.
In this life, he could bow his head, be servile, use unscrupulous means, abandon everything, but he would never ’admit defeat’ in the face of this obstacle!
"First, clarify how to complete it." Luo Xuan’s eyes shone brightly, "Also, up till now, Red Lotus Taoist Friend, you should reveal the truth. You are not of this realm, are you from the Returning to Truth Land?"
Seeing Luo Xuan swearing not to give up, Red Lotus looked at the Silence Tide just rising in the distance and had no choice but to explain:
"The so-called Great Dao Ancestor of this realm is simply a completely unified Returning to Truth. In other words, all Returning to Truth of this realm are limited by the Taoist Rules of Heaven and Earth and are incomplete."
"There are three great paths for Returning to Truth, none superior to the others: one is Supreme, two is God, three is Saint."
Luo Xuan’s eyes showed an unusual color, "Supreme with no self, God with no merit, Saint with no name?"
This idea, he had already heard from All Saints in the Netherworld.
Red Lotus ignored him and continued on her own:
"Supreme with no self is not to forget oneself but to spread the concept of ’I’ throughout all, diffuse into the vast cosmos, with a heart so vast. Therefore, the heart of the Supreme is like the Void, boundless heart, immeasurable Law, infinite Heaven and Earth."
"On this path, the Returning to Truth, wherever they are, the all of Heaven and Earth extend from them, all beginnings and ends are like reflections in a mirror, unparalleled in fortune telling ability, the most boundless and enjoying Great Freedom."
"God with no merit means that their achievements have already merged into the very roots of Dao’s operation, flowing naturally, Dao creates all things, leaving no trace, untouched by Karma."
"Such beings no longer need the world’s gratitude for the grace bestowed, they are above the mortal realm, creating worlds with a thought, Heaven and Earth move with them, Laws change because of them, like seasons running, all things sprouting, seemingly inactive, yet actually doing everything!"
"Saint with no name does not mean fame spread throughout the cosmos nor silence unheard, but their very existence has transcended the shackles of name and form, indefinable and indescribable!"
"Saints govern effortlessly, their Dao encompasses Heaven and Earth, their power covers the universe. Where they stand is truth, what they do is Law. They care not for any meritous deeds, only for their Dao’s connection."
"’Name’ to them is redundant, like Dao without a name, forced naming called Dao, this is ’no name’!"
"Supreme with no self, hence carefree."
"God with no merit, thus world creation."
"Saint with no name, All Heavens transmission."
"In this Sea of Realms, the Transcender exists in all three forms, but none are complete. Those Great Dao Ancestors, the path they walk is actually mixed and impure, but the primary path is that of a Saint, thus the saying that Great Dao Ancestors transmit their Dao across realms."
"If you desire to become that Great Dao Ancestor, you can completely first achieve Transcendence, and later seek ’complete Dao Fruit’."
Luo Xuan had been standing still long ago, eyes filled with brilliance, only feeling that Red Lotus’ words were ’eye-opening’!
The question that had troubled and frustrated him for dozens of epochs seemed to be unraveled by Red Lotus.
With an expressionless face, his Spirit God seemed detached, taking a long time to regain clarity.
Red Lotus, already impatient, said: "The reason I’m urging you is not due to the Silence Tide but because we can no longer give Ji Jingqiu more time!"
