Chapter 349 Forgetting Both the Self and the World, and Becoming the Tao

Between the desolate heaven and earth.

Zhao Yuan heard the sand and stones being blown by the wind, and heard the roaring sound of the waves, which was the wild wind dancing wantonly on the sea.

In the gray world, he kept walking towards the west.

In Zhao Yuan's heart, he couldn't help but remember the past when he was a teenager.

At that time, his parents were still alive, and his father was a private school teacher in the city. Although life was still poor, it was also enjoyable.

Until he was twelve years old, his parents went to Fengxin County for the autumn examination, but were killed by robbers on the way.

Zhao Yuan relied on his brute force to avenge his parents.

He was a little dazed. In the following decades, he inherited his father's last wish and vowed to fight for success.

If it weren't for Xie the butcher's adoption and his wife Xie Cui'er's uncomplaining, he would probably have starved to death.

Scenes of life passed by Zhao Yuan like a revolving lantern, and the experiences of the first thirty years of his life were vivid.

After half a lifetime of ups and downs, the final destination of life gradually stopped at the age of thirty-six.

It was also that year that Xie Que's memory floated into his mind.

At that moment, his fate was destined to be like this.

On the Guiyuan Sea, thunder and storms were intertwined.

The sequel of success, fame, and being appointed as a marquis and a prime minister from the capital to his hometown also flashed before Zhao Yuan's eyes.

His wife, father-in-law, Cai Tangyuan, Queen Xu and others emerged from his heart.

As Zhao Yuan stepped into the deadly realm, the manic sea breeze around him stopped suddenly.

The thunder in the sky was also obscured by the gray mist, and all vitality was blocked.

Accompanying Zhao Yuan, there was only the pure and endless death.

Zhao Yuan had calculated that after a year of walking, it would happen to be the day when Xie Que broke through the sixth realm.

In the silence, there was no continuous footsteps of him.

The righteous spirit burst out from Zhao Yuan's heart, and a protective film spontaneously formed around him to prevent Zhao Yuan's soul and body from being eroded by the death energy.

In the endless gray world, he became the only ray of light in this world.

Zhao Yuan did not count the time, but just walked step by step.

Two iron chains stretched out from his wrists and dragged on the ground, making a clattering sound.

I don't know how long it has been, but the death energy around him has become extremely dense.

Even if the soul is released, it can't feel anything at all.

Zhao Yuan looked up at the sky and saw two figures like meteors passing through the sky and falling in front of Yanluo Gu.

But in this endless gray fog, the other party was unaware of him.

After a few days, Zhao Yuan finally saw the two figures sitting cross-legged on the side of the stream.

He was in a trance, and his memories finally stopped at the age of thirty-six.

At this moment, Xie Que in front of him also opened his eyes.

He sighed softly, looking at Zhao Yuan, who was in tattered clothes and dragged by two iron chains behind him, and couldn't help but sigh:

"You are here..."

Zhao Yuan nodded: "Since it is destined by God, what's the point of running away?"

Due to the protection of the soul by the Judicial Death Chart, both parties have obtained each other's complete memory at this time.

But Zhao Yuan still drew the Danqing Sword from his waist.

"But I still want to struggle."

The stream in Yanluo flowed down, gradually becoming fast and slow between nine turns and eighteen bends.

Zhao Yuan listened to the sound of flowing water in his ears, holding the Danqing Sword, he couldn't help but immerse himself in the past again, with a slight smile on his lips.

He turned the hilt of the sword and raised his hand to stab forward.

Xie Que shook his head slightly, but did not resist at all.

On the Danqing Sword, the righteous spirit condensed into lines of bloody poems, and the sword light like light immediately pierced into Xie Que's heart.

Golden blood flowed down Xie Que's robe and instantly stained his clothes.

"You?..." Zhao Yuan was a little confused.

With Xie Que's strength, he was not able to resist at all.

But at this moment, he really hurt the other party.

Zhao Yuan's expression gradually became complicated, but Xie Que in front of him showed a smile.

"You and I are originally one." Xie Que said lightly: "But the so-called cognitive impairment is to separate me from you and you from me."

"Although the final outcome is that the two of us will still merge into one."

"But this path is not the only outcome."

"I have never thought about relying on Taoism to defeat those gods and Buddhas..."

As soon as Xie Que said this, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but tremble all over.

Although the two of them each have their own unique practice system.

But the reason for Zhao Yuan's birth is also because Xie Que's Taoism practice broke through the sixth realm.

Now, Xie Que does not intend to break through the sixth realm by Taoism, but chooses other ways.

Zhao Yuan also understood instantly.

Both of them regarded divinity, a divine object that others coveted, as dirt.

The reason was that Xie Que had a thorough understanding of the nature of divinity, and after seeing those gods and Buddhas who were trapped in the heavenly barrier, he knew that it was not a good thing.

The truly powerful gods and Buddhas were able to slaughter believers in order to get rid of divinity.

This just proved that divinity was not a really good thing.

In the end, divinity would only become an iron chain that bound itself.

"Let's fight!" Xie Que raised his head, with golden flames burning in his eyes.

Zhao Yuan also nodded, and the white-gold righteousness broke through his heart and continued to flow into Xie Que's body along with the Danqing Sword.

"If you and I become one, I will be a complete cultivator of the three religions of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism." Xie Que said lightly, "If we can integrate all three religious systems into martial arts, you can imagine what worship will be like in the future. It will also be called the dust of history.”

Zhao Yuan sighed lightly and tried his best.

He doesn't seek to win, but just wants to leave a deep mark on his existence.

Even if this trace was imprinted on Xie Que's heart, he would not hesitate.

Xie Que exerted slight force, and thousands of cracks suddenly appeared on Zhao Yuan's body.

In an instant, Zhao Yuan also showed a smile: "You win."

At this moment, he gave up his desire to live, and was ready to completely accept his fate and integrate himself into Xie Que's body.

The two souls also seemed to have been transformed and sublimated in an instant.

The ray of divinity that was about to be condensed was suddenly removed from the body by Xie Que and Zhao Yuanqu.

And Xie Que's memory gradually became indifferent and dispersed in Zhao Yuan's mind.

"Achieving Bodhicitta...so what...everything in the world is an obstacle!"

Xie Gap spoke softly, and then stretched out a hand to grab Zhao Yuan's body.

Zhao Yuan pushed the Danqing sword in his hand fiercely into Xie Que's heart.

And Xie Que also broke Zhao Yuan's heart with one palm.

Zhao Yuan shouted in a deep voice: "Xie Que, before my memory is completely dissipated, I want to warn you... I hope you can be firm in your own choice!"

Xie Tong nodded: "You have been waiting for thousands of years. I will complete this last half step."

A few streaks of bright red blood flowed from the corners of Zhao Yuan's mouth, and the two bodies suddenly scattered at this moment.

Including the soul, it completely turned into two groups of flame-like light, and began to intertwine and merge.

Zhao Yuan only felt that everything about him gradually overlapped with Xie Que's.

In a daze, he didn't know who he was.

His mind was in chaos, and he couldn't tell whether he was Xie Que or Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan used the voice transmission from his soul to say again: "The moment I got your memory, I knew God's arrangement."

"It's just that in the beginning, I followed the way of a gentleman and kept improving myself."

As he spoke, he sighed and said, "But when I saw my wife working hard in the fields and my father-in-law and mother-in-law with white hair and temples, I knew...the so-called gentleman's way is nothing but bullshit in the face of life."

"Since I have taken your things, one day I will return them all with interest..."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Yuan's main consciousness completely dissipated and merged into Xie Que's heart.

Xie Que's body and soul also reappeared on the bank of Yama Luogun River.

The cognitive barrier can be overcome easily, and he will not be able to tell who he is after merging Zhao Yuan's memory.

But the death trial diagram in his mind began to turn, and a new page was created again.

Special entry: Haoran Zhengqi, you inherited Zhao Yuan’s Haoran heart.

Suddenly, next to Xie Que's heart filled with energy and blood, another heart was born.

A sword-like tattoo also appeared in front of Xie Que's heart.

He could recognize that this was Zhao Yuan's Danqing sword.

Xie Que sighed deeply, not feeling the joy of a breakthrough at all.

Could it be that Zhao Yuan's life was not experienced by him under a different identity?

It's just that things in the world are unpredictable, and he didn't expect that the so-called cognitive impairment was like this.

After all, even if the memory of others is obtained, it is very unlikely that there will be any obstacles to self-understanding for the Sixth Realm Venerable with a powerful soul.

But when both are themselves, it is extremely difficult to tell them apart.

What's more, this is the work of Heaven, which overrides the long river of time and divides the soul and true spirit.

If it weren't for Xie Que possessing the Diagram of Death Judgment, he would have protected his true spiritual memory.

I'm afraid he can't bear the truth of this cognitive barrier.

Xie Que looked at the gray sky and couldn't help but murmur:

"You are me, and I am you. Although we are indistinguishable from each other, I also want you to become an independent existence in the world, not just a part of my life experience..."

Where the Dantian is located, the Yin and Yang Qi are constantly circling, and they rush into the soul at this moment.

Xie Que was suddenly startled, but found that his soul was beginning to transform.

Generally speaking, if you can successfully break through the cognitive barrier, you will have broken through the six realms, and your soul will naturally undergo transformation.

It's just that Xie Que expelled the divinity from his soul and doesn't know where his future lies.

Suddenly, Xie Que felt as if his soul had separated from his body, escaped from his control, and seemed to be floating into an unknown distance.

But this is just a feeling, the soul still exists in Xie Que's body.

It's just that the way of existence seems to be different.

At that moment, the Bodhi tree began to gradually become illusory.

In the end, it suddenly dispersed and transformed into Xie Que's own appearance.

It's just that this soul is naked, with clear eyes, and there is no memory in his mind.

Like a newborn baby, he has forgotten everything in the world.

Xie Que's mind gradually became one with his soul, forgetting his own body, getting rid of the shackles of consciousness, and abandoning everything he owned.

Things and I forget both.

The body is no longer a body at this moment, and thoughts are no longer thoughts at this moment.

In a daze, Xie Que felt as if he was integrated with this world.

The divine soul gradually becomes coincident with the operation of all things in the world, and the trajectory of all rules also resonates with the divine soul.

I can control everything in the world.

No matter what happens in the world, it is all in my mind.

It seems that I have become the master of the world.

With just a thought, the death energy that has been stagnate in the sky for countless years suddenly dissipated.

Although they will gather here again, at this moment, Xie Que only has the power of one thought.

He looked at the place where Xiushan Zhenjun was again.

As soon as his thought moved slightly, the speed at which the group of weak water turned into a human form suddenly increased a lot.

Xie Que looked up at the sky again, and after a slight thought, there was lightning and thunder.

Dozens of thunders as thick as buckets struck the ground, dispersing a large area of ​​the surrounding death energy.

In a thought, the wind and clouds changed, calling the wind and rain.

As Xie Que's soul gradually returned to his body, he finally understood what a powerful path he had taken.

Forget everything and merge with the world.

In this piece of heaven and earth that I can touch and sense, I am the world!

Even the void between heaven and earth, Xie Que felt that he could sense it.

Whether it was spiritual energy or the magnetic field of heaven and earth, they could all be drawn and mobilized by him in a thought to replenish himself.

Such power was not only possessed by the Sixth Realm Venerable.

While thinking, Xie Que knew that he had embarked on a route that no one had ever walked before.

His own practice of Taoism was completely on a road of no return.

He named this state "Zuowang".

It means to forget both the self and the world and transform into Tao!

All things in nature can be used by Xie Que who has entered this state.

Xie Que was confident that in this area controlled by him, even the four Dharma Kings could not do anything to him.

Even if it was a god, he could fight with it.

In a trance, Xie Que couldn't help but think of a sentence in the Buddhist scriptures.

There is no self, no person, no sentient beings, and no life.

Isn't this state the state in which he just entered the incarnation of Tao?

Not only that, even in the Daozang, there seems to be a similar language.

When Xie Que thought of this, he couldn't help but think of the so-called God's Domain given to those worshippers by the gods.

In the God's Domain, worshippers can have almost endless power.

Isn't this the same as turning into Tao.

Thinking of this, Xie Que's originally happy heart couldn't help but stagnate, as if he was splashed with cold water.

I thought I was on a road that no one had ever taken before.

But I didn't expect that the power I mastered had already been mastered by those gods.

But if so, I actually crossed the gap between the six realms and reached a realm that only gods can master.

Xie Que took a deep breath and couldn't help but think of more things.

If a normal practitioner breaks through to the sixth realm, at most he can master it in detail at this stage and break through the mysterious gate of life and death.

But Xie Que can be sure that the venerables can't master the skill of turning into Tao like himself.

This method is completely different from the magical powers he has learned. He seems to have turned into a real "God", who can directly control everything between heaven and earth, and almost has endless magical powers.

If he wants to do anything, it is just a matter of his thoughts.

At this moment, as Xie Que's soul power surged, the "Xianwu Tongxiu" entry began to emit a golden glow.

The blood in Xie Que's body also began to surge.

As the acupoints in his body were gradually filled up, a smile appeared on Xie Que's mouth.

This is the biggest advantage of practicing Taoism.

Although he said that martial arts is the foundation, sometimes martial arts is really desperate.

Only by relying on the supply of Taoism can he achieve a breakthrough.

In the end, Xie Que only had three empty acupoints that were not filled.

He was a little annoyed.

If so, wouldn't he only be able to fill these last three big holes when he becomes a god?

Putting this matter out of his mind, Xie Que looked at Xiushan Zhenjun who was condensing his body.

He couldn't help but think of Zhao Yuan.

He looked at Yan Luogu in front of him and said without thinking: "In this case, then I will let you live again and realize my ideal with me..."
