Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1292 - 458: Like a Mayfly Beneath the Sky

Within the Sea of Realms, some travel together, which is also a kind of Dao struggle.

"This is one of the Great Dao Ancestral Lands within the Sea of Realms, also known as the 'Void Realm', and referred to as the 'Self Realm'. It is engraved with the most fundamental 'Path of Self' in the Sea of Realms."

"It's not an exaggeration to say that seventy to eighty percent of the Extraordinary Systems in the Sea of Realms touch upon the 'Path of Self' to some extent, and the Yanhuang Federation is no exception."

Taiyi spoke leisurely.

Ji Tianxing praised, "Taoist Friend's Path of All-Knowing is extremely close to the final Transcendence Domain, isn't it?"

"It's still missing some crucial things." Taiyi sighed, "To advance in this Great Dao, one must first fully understand everything about the field of Transcendence. Only by being All-Knowing can one be All-Powerful."

"But without truly reaching this domain, how can one be truly All-Knowing? Stopping to this point, I indeed somewhat regret having embarked on this path back then."

Ji Tianxing naturally remarked, "Taoist Friend Taiyi's Great Dao is so heaven-defying, it's only normal for it to be difficult. Otherwise, if you're All-Knowing, wouldn't you also be All-Powerful? Inappropriate, inappropriate."

Taiyi smiled and suddenly asked, "Some say that sleep is the closest to death, that dreamless sleep is a little death, and death itself is a long sleep. How do you see it, Taoist Friend?"

Ji Tianxing walked slowly, muttering to himself, "Heaven borns all things, only people are most spiritual. Non-human spirits are truly spiritual. The heart is the master, the ruler of the bones, the incense Divine Lord. The heart's death is true death."

Taiyi asked, "Heaven and Earth nourish all things; how do all things repay Heaven and Earth?"

"Born of Heaven and Earth, ultimately returning to Heaven and Earth, life and death are nothing but a cycle. How can we talk of repayment?"

"Practitioners, proving Dao and seeking longevity, dying in their realm would be fine, but if they go to the Outer Realm, and die there, what then? Wouldn't all their Qi Fortune and Dao flow outwards and be lost forever?" Taiyi continued to ask.

Ji Tianxing suddenly laughed, "Taoist Friend talking about this topic is indeed amusing, isn't it?"

The first thing the Four Demons destroy is their own realm; how would they repay and where would they repay it?

Taiyi didn't care about Ji Tianxing's mockery and said to himself:

"Humans have three souls and seven spirits. The three souls are fetal light, bright spirit, and deep essence. The seven spirits are corpse dog, hidden arrow, bird shadow, devour thief, non-poison, eliminate foulness, and smelly lung."

"Back then, someone ignited ten 'Heaven Heart Lamps', each fueled by the ashes of a destroyed realm. As for the lamp wicks? Naturally, it was the individual's three souls and seven spirits. And any one of them, once ignited, could instantly refine and kill any True Saint in the world, naturally including you and me."

"The ten Heart Lamps were each placed under a realm, burning day and night the individual's three souls and seven spirits, attempting to make the individual fall into 'Eternal Silence'. Such is no different from death. As long as the Ancestors are still here, that person cannot overturn the sky."

"But no one expected that person to escape nonetheless."

"In the end, the soul Qi returns to the sky, and the form spirit returns to the earth."

Taiyi showed a hint of emotion, as if he found it hard to imagine the individual's profound Divine Skills.

Ji Tianxing walked slowly, calmly speaking:

"The three souls correspond to Heaven, Earth, and Humanity. Heaven and Earth create all things; how do they repay Heaven and Earth? Naturally, with the Heavenly Soul and Earth Soul. The only thing left is the Human Soul and seven spirits, to reincarnate. If they can be completed, they can re-enter the cycle of reincarnation, but if not?"

"From then on, I am no longer 'I'."

"Therefore, in the Sea of Realms, few cling to reincarnation because, upon true reincarnation, one is no longer the complete past self."

Taiyi looked joyous, "Brother Ji finally understands who is your true Dao enemy?"

Ji Tianxing didn't speak further, walking slowly forward, pushing against the vast torrent-like Dao Rhyme, proceeding towards the Great Dao Source.

In years past, Mu Shitian and He Donghuang successively comprehended the wonders of the Other Shore, allowing them to step into True Saint within a few hundred years of Dao age and even glimpse the higher scenery.

But apart from the seven of them, no one knew that the earliest proposal of the concept of the Other Shore, and even setting up the plan that placed He Donghuang in a desperate situation to verify this realm, was Ji Tianxing himself.

But in the end, he fell far behind.

The reason can be said to be due to his lack of "great heart and sincerity" like He Donghuang, nor "no self, no small me" like Mu Shitian, unable to transcend the bewildering barrier of life and death reincarnation.

He Donghuang fundamentally does not believe in the so-called past stories.

And Mu Shitian simply does not care, viewing it all as dream talk in dreams.

But he cannot do so.

Perhaps the more intelligent one is, the more prone they are to overthink. The so-called Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart, at this moment, becomes a burden.

He cannot help but think, who am I? Am I merely a pawn in someone else's reincarnated scheme? Stepping this step, will I fall into the final scheme entirely, unable to turn things around?

The most crucial part is still, who is "I", and who am "I".

In the end, Ji Tianxing spent ten thousand years choosing the most foolish way, finally crossing this step and naturally borrowed the Heavenly Demon's Divine Throne to Step into Heaven, not only reaching the True Saint Domain but standing at the endpoint of True Saint.

Throughout this journey, Ji Tianxing and Taiyi probed each other, gradually nearing the end, understanding each other's foundation.

He originally thought Taiyi would be the final Human Soul.

Unfortunately, he was wrong.

Now, the traces of the seven spirits can be followed, but where is the Human Soul?

In the end, is it still me versus 'me'?

Ji Tianxing felt a rare twinge of fatigue.

Ten thousand years of grand plans have reached this moment, already more than half accomplished.

Those four fellows have thoroughly removed themselves from this matter, completely and utterly reincarnated, truly liberated.

The one named Mu died ten thousand years ago, now left only as a Heart Monkey. Only he and Ah He remain floating in this Bitter Sea, seeing the endpoint yet unsure if they can reach it.
