Chapter 577: Exploring the Mysteries of Life
Life.
This is an extremely complex concept, and it is also one of the fundamental mysteries of the Great Dao of Creation.
It sounds like it is not as mysterious as the mysteries of cause and effect, all aspects, etc., but in fact, the difficulty of comprehending the mystery of life is not much lower than that of cause and effect, all aspects, etc. In the Great Dao of Creation, the five fundamental mysteries are almost the same.
Birth is part of life.
Living is also part of life.
Even death is also part of life.
Wherever Chen Mu's eyes reach, he sees not only those powerful warriors, but also those civilians and common people in the world.
He saw babies born in the simple and dilapidated low houses, and the poor tenants wearing patched and worn clothes were happy and cheering.
He also saw that in the ancient, fragrant, beautiful and elegant attic, an old man covered with a brocade quilt passed away quietly, and his descendants surrounded the bed and wept.
He saw that some people were determined to be the best, to fight resolutely, and to be motivated.
He also saw someone guarding a small piece of land, living one day at a time.
...
Are all lives equal?
A long time ago, Chen Mu, who had not yet entered the martial arts, might have answered no, and after he entered the martial arts practice, he would answer yes, but after he reached the divine realm, he felt that it might not be.
Life is not equal, and people's joys and sorrows are never the same. Although no matter who you are, unless you enter the divine realm, you will eventually experience birth, aging, sickness and death, but this equality does not come from life, but from time.
In front 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, they 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, but it always exists.
Different lives symbolize various forms. Based on the wisdom of all spirits, they have the ability to create and create things that have never existed before.
None of the five fundamental mysteries of the Creation lineage exists independently, and they are always entangled with each other.
This entanglement is a good thing and an inspiration when trying to integrate the mysteries, but it is a disturbance when comprehending the fundamental mysteries. No matter which mystery you focus on, you will be disturbed by the entanglement of the other ones.
However.
This interference has little effect on Chen Mu.
Because although it will affect his comprehension of the mystery of life, it will at most slightly reduce his efficiency in obtaining experience points, and at the same time, the experience of the other fundamental mysteries will also increase, even if it is just a few scattered points, it is also an increase.
For ordinary people, scattered insights are actually not very useful. If they want to comprehend a complete fundamental mystery, they need to spend a long time to accumulate a large and numerous perception of a certain lineage, and then try to piece these perceptions together to form a complete string, and finally complete the epiphany 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 the birth, living, and death of countless lives in the world, Chen Mu's heart is also lingering with his own understanding and accumulation.
"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 bottom-level servant to a detached and free master of a world.
When he was born, he was at the bottom and did not have any advantages, but with his wisdom and hard work, he still walked step by step to the present, and all living things have the same wisdom and creativity.
His thoughts suddenly remembered that when he was comprehending the Avenue of Time, the world that the system panel sent him to, he experienced many reincarnations, and most of the reincarnations were spent comprehending Buddhism.
I vaguely remember that there is a saying in the Buddhist scriptures that all living beings have the wisdom of Tathagata.
At the beginning, Chen Mu's main direction of enlightenment was the Great Way of Time, and he was more of a follower of the study of Buddhism. But now that he thinks carefully, the principles in these Buddhist scriptures are definitely not what ordinary creatures can point out.
For example, this statement has many different interpretations, and in the context of the life lineage he is currently comprehending, it states that all life has infinite possibilities.
If so, then life is equal.
But if such words were put in the Daxuan world, I'm afraid any master would sneer at it.
Anyone has the possibility of becoming a god?
Are you kidding!
Throughout the ages, even heroes like Xuantian Daozhu and Donglin Jianzun could not cross that threshold.
This is already a peerless genius born among hundreds of millions of human beings. They are born with supreme roots and talents. There is a world of difference between them and those ordinary people who are born without martial arts roots, have extremely poor qualifications, and are dull in wisdom!
Even they cannot reach the threshold of the divine realm, so how can ordinary mortals become gods?
But the Buddha said, yes!
In the past, Chen Mu might have scoffed at this, but now that he has ascended to the divine realm and is the master of a realm, he can vaguely capture the life context of all living beings. After careful realization, he feels that it is indeed not impossible.
Because as early as when he was practicing martial arts, he knew a truth, the so-called God has no perfect path, no matter how great the disaster is, there is still a glimmer of hope. This is also recognized by all the masters and blood-changing beings, because they can succeed Grandmasters, who have come to exchange blood, have all experienced life and death, and have emerged from disasters.
And if we expand from this, all life has a glimmer of possibility.
Skin grinding, meat training, tendon reshaping, bone forging... There is never an absolute threshold for this step-by-step martial arts training. Those with the weakest and mediocre skills just say that it is extremely difficult to cross every threshold, as difficult as climbing the mountain. God, but not impossible.
"But what about the creatures in the small and middle realms?"
Although Chen Mu agreed that all living things have all possibilities, he still had something unclear in his heart. In a large world like Daxuan World, there is indeed a glimmer of possibility for all living beings, because nothing is absolute, including those in the divine realm. threshold.
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 true form of divine power is observing a middle world. According to Chen Mu's observation, in that world, at most, people at the level of marrow-cleansing masters can only be born, and it is impossible to have a blood exchange state.
Even Chen Mu couldn't imagine how he could become a god when his path to blood exchange was cut off.
Although he insists, he can indeed imagine some things, such as the system panel. If there is a living being in the middle world who has it, it is not impossible to step into the divine realm. However, this is with the help of external forces, not Rely on yourself. Think about it,
Chen Mu still didn't know how to break the limitations of the middle world.
"By the way, maybe we can go find Xunmu and discuss it."
Chen Mu muttered to himself.
Although Xunmu's realm is not very high, he is on the threshold of creation and entering the Tao like him, and has never truly understood the mysteries of life. However, Xunmu's life essence is high enough, and he is a creature created by the God of Creation. He must have many insights and interpretations about this aspect of life.
Now he is fully qualified to discuss things 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 value will definitely increase. many.
Just think of this.
Chen Mu immediately converged his gaze and looked out of bounds, then stepped out and headed towards where Xun Mu was.
…
at the same time.
In the distant void, somewhere in the middle.
Chen Mu's divine form stood in front of the boundary wall, looking through the boundary wall to observe the inside of the world.
His eyes still stayed on that tribe.
At this moment, the old tribal priest was seen returning 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 in a crude way.
Chen Mu observed this scene carefully, and suddenly there was a slight thought in his heart.
Buzz! !
Although Chen Mu was just a thought that suddenly became extinguished, but now he is in the divine realm, and every thought is power. Just this little surge of power can make the power of heaven and earth shake in the middle world!
The will of heaven and earth composed of pure rules set off a surging force of heaven and earth, which seemed to be roaring at Chen Mu, resisting Chen Mu, and asking Chen Mu to leave quickly.
However, Chen Mu ignored the rejection of the will of heaven and earth, and he still set his sights on that tribe.
now.
Because of the turbulence of the will of heaven and earth, the power of heaven and earth trembled slightly, which also caused slight vibrations within the entire middle world. The vast and turbulent power of the earth also caused some ripples.
The old tribal priest was sitting cross-legged and practicing in the pit where the earth veins converged. At this moment, he suddenly groaned and opened his eyes. He seemed to have received a backlash, and his face suddenly turned pale.
With a horrified look on his face, he quickly jumped out of the pit and knelt down towards the power of the earth's veins in the pit.
There was a gurgling sound in his mouth, and he began to recite prayers continuously.
Today, Chen Mu has entered the realm of gods. There is no obstacle for him in ordinary language. He can interpret the meaning of a thought. The words spoken by the sacrifice in front of him are basically prayers for God's forgiveness.
Compared to the Daxuan World, the dwarves living underground in Fangzhong Realm firmly believe in the existence of gods. Almost every tribe has an altar. Chen Mu can see almost all underground caves as far as he can see. The dwarves inside all have priests or chief-like figures kneeling in prayer.
After pondering for a while.
Chen Mu suddenly had a thought. He raised his hand gently and sent a bit of bright and dim light into the inside of the Fang Zhongjie.
boom!
The will of heaven and earth once again expressed its anger towards him.
Chen Mu didn't take this seriously and just smiled and said, "Don't be angry. If I teach them something, it may not be a bad thing for you."
What Chen Mu had just broken into was not power, but just a little information.
Although information from outside the world will still be rejected by the will of heaven and earth, this rejection is not so violent, so this piece of information safely crosses the sky and falls to the earth.
crypt,
In a remote tribe somewhere.
The tribal priest who had been observed by Chen Mu was crawling towards the earth vein and chanting prayers, but at this moment, his movements suddenly stopped, and a trace 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 gave them the power of the earth veins, allowing them to have the source of life, so that they could drive away the cold, get light and food, and survive underground.
Enjoying the gifts of the gods, they naturally prayed to the gods every day and night, and thanked the gods for their gifts.
The will of the gods cannot be guessed.
This is what they understand, because they have experienced the anger of the gods more than once. The earth-shaking power is not something that living beings can achieve, even the monsters in the deepest underground rumored to be impossible to do.
But this time, he got a response from the gods, a response that contained clear information.
The old tribal priest carefully interpreted the response from the gods, and then found with surprise that it seemed to be a way to better use the power of the earth veins to practice and become stronger!
In comparison, the practice method they used was so crude that it was almost unbearable to look at.
With the method given by the gods, they can become stronger, and they may get enough power to fight against the monsters underground in the future. 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 still restrained himself. He knelt there and prayed for a while, thanking the gods for their gift. He prayed for half an hour before carefully retreating.
Chen Mu watched this scene.
Deep in the vast underground caves, there are many monsters that are more powerful than the dwarves. It is no problem to call them monsters. The most powerful of them can even reach the seventh level!
That is the level comparable to that of a master, and it is also the limit that this world can reach. It is a fire dragon that lives in the deepest part of the 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 to practice, because of their rough training methods, they will still become food for many powerful monsters from deep underground.
He casually compiled a better method of using the power of the earth veins to practice, not because he was really kind, but because he wanted to stir up a little ripple to observe the changes in life in this world more deeply.
