Chapter 1250: 486: Resentments of all beings!
Only by obtaining and losing the Dao do we understand He Dao (5.6K)_3 Chapter 1250: 486: Resentments of all beings!
Only by obtaining and losing the Dao do we understand He Dao (5.6K)_3 A bit of negative heart force flickered like firelight, gradually appearing to be influenced by his tranquil and serene state of mind, gradually dispelling resentments and turning into thoughts of letting go and liberation, dissipating within the Hall of Human Heart, resolving karma and making him feel as if his spirit had been purified.
Resolving karma is a two-way process.
That’s why Buddhism often speaks of saving others as saving oneself.
For when the followers of Buddhism save others, they truly increase their own cultivation level, accumulate good deeds and merits, and elevate their state of mind.
The same holds true for Chen Dengming.
...
However, these negative heart forces all originated from ordinary mortals in the Mortal World, and at most, some were mixed with a few low-level cultivators.
It wasn’t difficult to resolve the resentments of these people.
But if there were Nascent Souls or Deity Transformation Dao Lords who also generated negative heart force from their seven emotions and six desires, it wouldn’t be so easy to resolve, as it would involve a great deal of karma.
Of course, it was very unlikely for these cultivators to generate negative heart force from their seven emotions and six desires.
After all, once these desires accumulated enough to create negative heart force, it indicated the emergence of a Heart Demon, which is a cultivator’s greatest taboo.
Having successfully attempted to resolve the negative heart forces, Chen Dengming felt quite uplifted, believing he had found another task to undertake in the future—frequently visiting Outer Space to resolve these negative heart forces for the Heavenly Dao.
Even if this action was but a drop in the bucket, it was beneficial for both parties.
At least, the Heavenly Dao would also slow its decay, and Chen Dengming would resolve more of the Mortal World’s negative resentments, purify his spirit, and improve his state of mind.
It was akin to the relationship between crocodiles and plover birds, a positive-sum game where both parties in the game reached a state of cooperative win-win during the process.
…
At the same time:
In the depths of the Western Region, once the stronghold of myriad demons.
Here, countless mountains rose and fell, vast and winding like dragons and serpents.
Among some of the mountain bases, rolling Spiritual Energy converged like a majestic torrent of Spiritual Energy mist tumbling over mountains and plummeting into deep valleys, like flowing waterfalls, grand and spectacular.
Dongfang Huayuan’s enormous figure, over thirty zhang tall, sat alone atop one of the mountain peaks, swallowing Spiritual Energy from all directions to complete the final sublimation and breakthrough of his Fulfilled God Transformation.
At this moment, he was like the slowly rising sun, his radiance illuminating the sea of clouds, colors dispersing magnificently and brilliantly.
Above his head, the Human Strength Hall and the Human God Palace emanated golden light, scattering Human Immortal Dao Force, buoyant in the Spiritual Energy, like towering waves surging in an ocean.
His aura climbed ever higher, and with each ascendancy, the buried Spirit Veins within the surrounding mountains were depleted further, with the dense Spiritual Energy almost entirely converging towards him to aid his breakthrough.
These Spirit Veins, buried deep beneath the earth, were his years of cunning acquisition, most of which had been contributed by the Sky Demon Sect, Ten Thousand Poison Sect, Demon Country, Nightmare Kingdom, and other Demon Cults of the Western Region.
Now, these resources had become the greatest aid in his breakthrough to a Fulfilled God Transformation.
Suddenly, Dongfang Huayuan’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit soared to the zenith, and a majestic and domineering Daoist Charm spread from his body, with the Human Dao Fate thriving like a dragon, a Spiritual Might so immense it covered all directions.
Dongfang Huayuan let out a long howl, like a dragon’s low chant, shaking the surrounding mountainsides with a thunderous rumble that drowned out the distant waterfall.
Within the mountainsides, every single Spirit Vein utterly exhausted its reserves, and their restoration to their original state would consume hundreds, or even thousands, of years.
Sensing this scene, Dongfang Huayuan’s triumphant breakthrough howl involuntarily ceased.
Resources!
Within the Four Seas and Four Realms, there was a dire lack of resources.
Even though he had now broken through to a Fulfilled God Transformation, it was with the help of thirty percent of Qingmingzi’s Primordial Spirit force, plus the consumption of all his accumulated Spirit Veins.
Now, his Human Daoist Charm complete, but to break through to Hegemony Capability, he lacked an even more vast amount of resources.
At this juncture, he finally understood why the Longevity Taoist Lord Lu Xiucheng and Qu Shenzong had not advanced to Hegemony Capability in the past.
It wasn’t that they didn’t wish to break through; it was that they couldn’t break through.
Breaking through would likely require draining the Spirit Veins and Spiritual Energy of the entire Four Seas and Four Realms, leading to a crash in their Spiritual Energy.
Inevitably, it would also put them on the opposing side of all the Immortal Sects and Way Gates.
“Chen kid will have to break through to Hegemony Capability in the future, how does he plan to solve this problem?
Is he planning to drag the entire Ghost Shade down with him?
And how should I resolve my resource issue…”
Dongfang Huayuan sat on the mountain peak, lost in deep thought; the joy from his breakthrough had quickly dissipated without a trace.
If he were to be as he once was, even pulling the whole world down with him would have been inconsequential if it meant making a breakthrough.
At worst, it would have meant become enemies with everyone under the heavens.
Achieving great things inevitably required sacrifices.
But now, it couldn’t be denied, his disposition had indeed changed; his propensity for violence had lessened considerably, and he had gradually found a sense of belonging in the Cultivation World, making it difficult to take actions that went against all under the heavens.
Of course, there was another reason; even if he dared to take such actions, the chances of success were extremely slim.
Not to mention the grievances of all living beings after the downfall of Spiritual Energy in the Mortal World, which might affect his He Dao and become a causal factor he would have to contend with in the future.
Even if Chen Dengming, Qu Shenzong, or any other Deity Transformation Dao Lords joined forces to stop him, his breakthrough would be nearly impossible.
“Chen kid has already found his resource site in Ghost Shade, and the vastness of Ghost Shade is comparable to the Four Seas and Four Realms, with Ghost gas being even richer than the Spiritual Energy in the Four Seas and Four Realms.
Moreover, there are not many strong beings in Ghost Shade; even if he were to indiscriminately absorb Dead Qi and convert it to living Qi for cultivation, those Ghost Cultivators in Ghost Shade would not reach the point of unbearable suffering.
It wouldn’t be the same in the Four Seas and Four Realms…
There are too many living beings, too many Cultivators, even more powerhouses, and the Spiritual Energy resources are more like too many monks and not enough gruel…”
Dongfang Huayuan felt extremely troubled.
Chen Dengming had grasped the Daoist Charm of Life and Death and even self-realized the Life and Death Rotation Skill, enabling him to do what others could not.
But that was not an option for him; otherwise, he would not mind squatting in Ghost Shade himself.
As for leaving the Four Seas and Four Realms, there was nowhere else he could break through, since his main base was in the Mortal World.
With the Human Dao Charm he comprehended, to break through to He Dao, he would either have to start with the Mortal World or begin with Nanxun.
Therefore, even knowing that the Spiritual Energy was abundant outside the domain, without the Four Seas and Four Realms, he could not achieve He Dao.
Dongfang Huayuan suddenly formed a seal, fingers aligning to touch his forehead, and instantly his Three Souls shone brilliantly, rippling violently as he employed the Three Souls Deduction Skill to seek a solution.
In the end, two images emerged in his mind, each representing the most viable solution to his problem based on all the clues in his memory.
In one image, he joined forces with Chen Dengming and the World Buddha to defeat and kill Buddha Trickery, a Hegemony Capability entity, seizing Buddha Trickery’s Mana and Primordial Spirit to complete his breakthrough.
This method of resolution was a desperate gamble, much like Qu Shenzong and Lu Xiucheng joining forces to kill the Outer Domain Devil Lord, which resulted in the Longevity Taoist Lord bidding farewell to the world, ultimately being entombed with the dead.
In the second image, he alone ventured beyond the domain, plundering many Spirit Veins from various Cultivation Stars in the outer domain, then returned within the domain, using the looted Spirit Veins to complete the breakthrough.
However, this action also invited the significant risk of provoking a direct confrontation with a Supreme Daoist from the outer domain who might obliterate him.
He might even encounter a Hegemony Capability entity from the outer domain during the looting and be killed on the spot.
“Buddha Trickery…”
A sharp glint flashed in Dongfang Huayuan’s eyes; the advantage Qingmingzi gained made him realize that perhaps Buddha Trickery was indeed the resource opportunity he needed for breaking through his He Dao.
All matters favored by the Dao received ample support, while those who had lost favor with it received little.
Buddha Trickery had already lost favor with all under the heavens, rejected by all Cultivators, with even the World Buddha personally making a move to suppress him.
If he made the eradication of Buddha Trickery his banner and called upon all Cultivators to slaughter it, then he would align with the righteous Dao of the world, backed by the World Buddha himself, and had much to achieve.
This was certainly preferable to forcibly breaking through to He Dao, dragging down all the Immortal Sect Way Gates within the Four Seas and Four Realms; that would be to lose favor with all under the heavens, and instead of assisting him, Cultivators the world over would come to attack and hinder him.
Upon this realization, Dongfang Huayuan felt his thoughts become clear, his Primordial Spirit grew more complete and translucent, no longer anxious.
Indeed, compared to before, his disposition had grown by leaps and bounds.
It seemed that this growth in character had also been greatly influenced by another person.
Among three men walking, one can find his teacher…
