Chapter 63 Supernatural Powers – Six Paths of Reincarnation
He even briefly became other innate beings, mountain spirits, and wild monsters with different forms and unique talents.
Experience how they rely on instinct or rudimentary cultivation to struggle for survival in the primordial world where the strong prey on the weak, or to occupy a corner of the land, to comprehend the universe, and to pursue that elusive opportunity for transcendence.
Each cycle of reincarnation is a completely new and immersive life experience, as well as a violent impact and relentless baptism on the concept of "self".
The endless fragments of memory, the surging torrent of emotions, and the intricate threads of cause and effect, like the chaotic waves at the beginning of the universe, relentlessly assaulted Zhen Yuanzi's core consciousness trapped in reincarnation.
Joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, greed, hatred, ignorance, resentment... all kinds of the most primal and intense emotions intertwined together, attempting to cover up and distort his original cognition.
If his Dao heart had not been tempered through countless tribulations, becoming as firm as Mount Buzhou with a deep foundation, and his mind as clear as the ancient mirror of Kunlun, reflecting all things without being tainted, he would probably have completely lost himself in the intense and unfamiliar life experiences and emotional impacts of his first few lifetimes.
If one becomes immersed in the joys and sorrows of a particular lifetime, or if one's wisdom is scattered by the endless torrent of information in the cycle of reincarnation, one forgets one's true nature. One's true spirit will be forever trapped in this illusory cycle of reincarnation, and it is unknown how many eons or countless eons it will take before one can, by chance, accumulate enough power or encounter external interference to break free.
Even so, after countless reincarnations, Zhen Yuanzi's core consciousness began to sway slightly, like a candle flickering in the wind, and his concept of "self" became somewhat blurred.
"Who am I? Am I a mayfly with fluttering wings? Am I a lark singing? Am I a majestic dragon? Or am I a phoenix rising from the ashes?" Countless "selves" are shouting and clashing in my consciousness, and the boundaries of my true self are being eroded.
At this critical moment—
The twelve-petaled Pure World White Lotus, which had been quietly suspended deep within his primordial spirit and connected to his mind, seemed to sense the immense calamity facing its master's core consciousness and suddenly emitted an unprecedentedly clear and melodious sound!
This sound was not a sound wave from the material world, but resounded directly in the depths of his Dao heart and true spirit!
A cool and clear, supreme holy power, containing the purifying power of the Chaos Lotus Origin, capable of cleansing all illusions and protecting the unwavering heart, suddenly rose like a bright moon in the darkness, its clear light spreading everywhere, instantly illuminating his core consciousness that was sinking and floating in the vortex of reincarnation, about to be assimilated!
"Buzz—!"
The Great Dao's profound voice resonated deep within his mind, like a resounding bell, deafening and awakening! Zhen Yuanzi suddenly shuddered, and his "true self" consciousness, which had been covered by countless lifetimes of memories and emotions and was almost obliterated, suddenly burst forth with brilliant light like a divine sword that had undergone countless trials, piercing through layers of fog and the shackles of delusions, and he was completely awakened!
"I am Zhen Yuanzi! The master of Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, the embodiment of the innate earth element, wielding the Book of Earth, pursuing the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos! This cycle of reincarnation is but an illusion, how can it trap me?!"
This unwavering enlightenment throughout his life, like a stabilizing anchor, firmly secured the foundation of his consciousness. The immensely powerful pull of reincarnation originating from the Six Paths of Reincarnation seemed to have instantly lost its target, or rather, it could no longer shake this awakened and steadfast Dao heart.
His consciousness, like a roc breaking free from an invisible spider web, flapped its wings and abruptly detached itself from the ceaseless, bewitching river of reincarnation, transcending the boundary between reality and illusion, and returning to its original form!
"Whoosh!"
Zhen Yuanzi, who was sitting cross-legged in the hidden space of the Blood Sea, suddenly opened his eyes! Deep within his pupils, images of countless living beings, the changing landscapes, and the birth and death of stars seemed to flow rapidly like a carousel, ultimately returning to a profound and tranquil space that encompasses all things and nurtures everything.
His forehead was slightly sweaty, and his breathing was a little rapid the moment he opened his eyes. Clearly, the seemingly invisible but extremely dangerous experience of reincarnation he had just gone through, although there was no physical combat, was no less exhausting and testing to his mind and will than a life-or-death battle with a quasi-saint of the same level!
Looking back, I still feel a lingering fear. This Six Paths of Reincarnation Wheel is indeed extraordinary. It is a divine object that conceals its true nature, containing the universe within, and can directly draw the consciousness of living beings into such a realistic and vast illusion of reincarnation.
If it weren't for the protection of the Pure World White Lotus, a treasure from the chaotic blue lotus, which is specifically designed to counteract all mental corruption, the consequences would have been unimaginable. This ancestor of earth immortals would probably have inexplicably perished in the depths of this sea of blood, his true spirit obscured, and who knows when he would see the light of day again.
However, risks and opportunities often go hand in hand. Although this journey was fraught with peril and I nearly lost my way, the gains after overcoming it were immense, a true baptism of enlightenment in understanding the great principles.
He calmed his mind and carefully observed the changes within himself.
First, the understanding of one's own foundation—the Way of the Earth—has become deeper, broader, and even touches upon the essence of sublimation.
Having experienced the cycle of reincarnation of countless beings at different levels, including flowers, birds, fish, insects, mountains, rocks, forests, and even dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns, he gained an unprecedented and profound intuitive understanding of the meaning that "the earth" carries.
The earth is not only the physical carrier of mountains, rivers, plants, and minerals, but also the ultimate stage and final resting place for countless living beings to be born, grow, fight, love, reproduce, die, and finally return to nothingness!
The "great virtue carries all things" he cultivates refers not only to material things, but also to the fate, emotional entanglements, and karmic forces of countless living beings!
Every cycle of life, its beginning and end, is deeply imprinted on the earth, forming part of the earth's natural rhythm.
This leap in understanding allowed him to transcend the level of simply "controlling the power of the earth" and begin to touch upon a deeper realm of Dao: "the earth is all living beings, and all living beings are the earth." He gained a more essential and macroscopic grasp of his own Dao.
Secondly, and one of the most direct gains from this experience, he gained a profound and even essential understanding of the operating principles and inner mysteries of the core mechanism of the universe, the "Six Paths of Reincarnation," far beyond that of ordinary people.
He personally experienced the rules governing the transformation of different life forms, the principles of karmic attraction, the process of ignorance and purification of the true spirit in reincarnation, and the mechanisms of memory sealing and emotional stripping...
These profound and mysterious knowledge, which were normally impossible to fathom and even required careful deduction by sages to understand, were now etched directly into the depths of his primordial spirit like the clearest imprint, becoming a precious part of his Great Dao knowledge base.
Based on this profound understanding gained from his personal experience, a completely new and powerful supernatural ability, unlike any he had ever used before, naturally took shape in his heart—the supernatural ability: the Six Paths of Reincarnation!
