“The Dao and the Fa, the Xuan and the Li! All things are within them. The Dao Jing says, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.”
“The Dao and the Fa, the Xuan and the Li, are all the rules of heaven and earth’s operation. Out of the three thousand great Daos, one is chosen to achieve success!”
“Fa is a rule, Dao is a rule, Xuan and Li are rules. To attain the Dao and form the Fa, one must master the rules!”
“What is my rule? Is it space, is it the mortal realm? Is it metal, water, wood, or fire? Is it the sword? Is it the mountain or the wind? Is it the surging force or the masculine energy…”
“What is the rule that belongs to me? Heaven and earth, Qian and Kun, breed all things. The chaotic green qi breeds all things. Born of heaven and nurtured by earth, heaven and earth are supreme!”
“If heaven and earth are supreme, then where does the Supreme One come from? On the path of the Supreme One, does the Supreme One become heaven and earth, or does the Supreme One shatter heaven and earth?”
“I possess the intent of the Supreme One, and I must break free from it. Either control it, shatter it, or suppress it! And to do this, I must challenge its rules. Only by surpassing the rules of the Supreme One can this be achieved.”
“The Supreme One is supreme. To break its rules, one can only establish one’s own rules!”
“What does it mean to establish one’s own rules? Gods can live forever, able to break the rule of heaven and earth leaving no trace of time. This is the rule that surpasses rules.”
“Standing within heaven and earth, establishing one’s own rules is still the rule of heaven and earth. Gods are just another kind of rule of heaven and earth.”
“Then what exactly is my rule? What can transcend the rule of the Supreme One?”
“…”
Ye Chu stepped upwards one step at a time. The Dao and Fa continuously permeated his body. Ye Chu’s green lotus trembled as the chaotic green qi merged into it. The chaotic green qi could absorb the Dao and Fa. Although the absorption was limited due to the restricted realm of the green lotus, it allowed Ye Chu to walk upwards safely step by step.
“As long as a rule is manifested, it will ultimately become a rule of heaven and earth. Even a god, he, Ye Chu, is merely one of the rules of heaven and earth.”
“Nothing can transcend the rules of heaven and earth, so how can one establish one’s own rules?”
Ye Chu became completely confused. He could not find his own path and walked in a daze. Seeing this posture, Tan Chen thought Ye Chu was about to give up. A smile bloomed on the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself that in the end, you are still not as good as me.
Another cultivator could not hold on and rolled down the steps, rolling to Ye Chu’s feet and crashing into him. But although Ye Chu seemed dazed, his steps were exceptionally steady, and he was not knocked down by the impact.
“Since I cannot establish my own rules, then what is the need for rules? All rules are not my rules, yet all rules are my rules!”
“The chaotic green qi breeds all things. Is it not also a kind of rule? Water can accept hundreds of rivers, which is another kind of rule. They can derive ten thousand kinds of rules and can encompass ten thousand kinds of rules.”
“Can I become the chaotic green qi? Can I become water? The highest good is like water!”
“If I cannot break open its rules, then I will encompass its rules, or derive its rules, and I will act as the mother. The child does not consume the mother, so what can the intent of the Supreme One do to me?”
Ye Chu was entangled in various thoughts, while his primordial spirit comprehended various Daos, walking slowly. His steps seemed to become more and more dazed, as if he would collapse in the next instant, but Ye Chu always managed to persevere.
The Dao and Fa around him grew thicker and thicker, pressing down on Ye Chu’s green lotus. Although Ye Chu’s green lotus was extraordinary, under the substantial pressure of the Dao, it continued to tremble. The green lotus grew dimmer and dimmer, looking as if it would soon be unable to bear it.
Ye Chu felt his primordial spirit as if it were being pressed by Mount Tai, and the green lotus was about to burst open.
Seeing this situation, Tan Chen could not help but shake his head. This was Ye Chu’s limit. The green lotus had lost its light, and if he went any further, his primordial spirit would probably suffer injuries.
“In the end, you are still not as good as me!” Tan Chen breathed a light sigh of relief, and the gloom from his previous defeat at Ye Chu’s hands was swept away. He could still move forward, but Ye Chu was about to stop right there, and the distance between them was still extremely far.
Another cultivator rolled down and happened to crash into Ye Chu. Seeing this, everyone thought Ye Chu was going to roll down the steps along with the other person. But the result was astonishing. Ye Chu actually did not roll down the steps because of it. Instead, he rose into the air and stood suspended in the sky.
As he stood suspended in the air, the various Daos and Fas here suddenly surged towards Ye Chu’s green lotus.
This scene made many people gasp in surprise, thinking that this young man must not understand this place. One could not hover in the air here. If one hovered, the Dao and Fa would suppress them, and this was not something he could endure.
Almost everyone saw Ye Chu’s green lotus burst, and they could not help but sigh, thinking that this young man was crippled just like that, which was truly a pity.
When the intent patterns burst, the Dao and Fa would naturally impact the primordial spirit. This was a place the Red Dust Female Saint had walked, and it was the various Daos and Fas she had stirred up. As long as they impacted the primordial spirit, how could he withstand it?
Tan Chen’s heart also beat faster. He did not hold much hatred towards Ye Chu, and seeing Ye Chu was about to meet such an end, he could not help but sigh.
“What a pity!”
But just as everyone was waiting for Ye Chu’s green lotus to be blasted, Ye Chu suddenly moved his fingers, and a thunderous roar burst out, “The Fa is formed!”
As Ye Chu roared, a terrifying power shot into the sky, surging forward like a wave. The shockwave instantly blasted away the Dao and Fa that were attacking Ye Chu.
Ye Chu’s green lotus suddenly began to spin and rapidly expanded. It flashed with green light, dazzling and gorgeous. Brilliant light shone down, and lines of patterns interwove around it.
This sudden scene also made everyone slightly stunned. They all looked at Ye Chu, finding it hard to believe that he had actually comprehended the Fa at such a dangerous moment.
Watching the patterns on Ye Chu’s green lotus continuously vibrate outward, with each vibration of the patterns acting like a storm impacting the surroundings, the crowd could not help but click their tongues. What kind of Fa was this? It actually possessed such might, and while still at the level of comprehension, it could force back the Dao and Fa.
Tan Chen also frowned upon seeing this, surprised in his heart as to what kind of Fa Ye Chu had actually comprehended.
Luo Chizi and Wang Shanzhi also looked at Ye Chu. To be able to comprehend one’s own Fa on this path showed that this person’s comprehension was too strong. A person like this was worthy of their attention.
They also wanted to see what this young man’s Fa was.
Although every cultivator’s cultivation would definitely require them to comprehend their own Fa once they reached a certain level, the Fa also had high and low levels. The highest Fa was the profound mystery, and the weakest was not even as good as the artistic conception. There were three thousand great Daos and infinite methods.
What kind of Fa could this young man comprehend?
Everyone also stared at Ye Chu. Ye Chu’s green lotus trembled continuously, and the flash of every pattern made people’s hearts palpitate. Because these patterns could force back the Dao and Fa rushing towards Ye Chu. Judging from this point, the Fa Ye Chu comprehended would not be too poor, otherwise it would be impossible to make these Daos and Fas yield.
Everyone looked at Ye Chu with burning eyes.
Only Ye Chu himself was immersed in his own world. His mind was completely immersed in himself, comprehending the Fa through his own body. The patterns flashed, wrapping around his whole body and continuously trembling, making people’s hearts palpitate.
