Chapter 273 The Way of Change

Chapter 273 The Way of Change

Since the beginning of the world, countless predecessors have comprehended the ways and principles between heaven and earth and have blazed one path after another.

Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the impermanence of cause and effect, the fate of life and death, the cycle of fate...

This certainly makes it easier for people in later generations to reach the sky, but it also makes the path to enlightenment and realization narrower and narrower.

Even if one's talent and ability are better than those of the predecessors, the paths that the predecessors have already walked cannot be followed by the descendants. It is so difficult to bring forth something new and innovative...

It’s not that the present is inferior to the past, but that our predecessors blocked the way.

There are geniuses who are good at practicing the ways of water and fire, but our ancestors had already used water and fire to create the world.

There are geniuses who are good at the way of thunder, but their predecessors have already opened up various ways of thunder, lightning, thunderbolt, lightning, etc.

There are many examples like this. The world is right before our eyes, but our predecessors have occupied one path after another, making it increasingly difficult for later generations to innovate.

Therefore, many immortals and gods are trapped here, and they can never make any progress in their lives. Even if they are extremely talented, there is no way forward, and they can only turn into a handful of dirt in the end.

As far as Lu Chengfeng's cultivation speed is concerned, it is already quite amazing since the beginning of the world. Of course, it cannot be compared with those innate divine beings, but it has surpassed many geniuses who have risen from the mortal world.

He is definitely one of the fastest people in history.

But to realize one's own path is still as difficult as ascending to heaven.

As Lu Chengfeng continued to comprehend, lightning and thunder appeared around his body, gods and demons howled, and he gained a great majesty, looking down at the heaven and earth. It really seemed as if he had transcended the scope of human beings and become a god.

There were strands of golden light emanating from his body, which was so bright that people dared not look directly at him. He was intimidating without even showing any anger.

The power of Dharmakāya is a watershed. Even a peerless genius may not be able to cross this threshold, but those with ordinary talents may not be blocked here.

For all those who practice cultivation, the transformation from a true immortal to a Dharmadhatu is the greatest nirvana and rebirth in life.

Only after you pass this threshold can you be considered a powerful person. If you can’t, even if you have cultivated the ultimate fighting method and your combat power can compete with the top powerful people, the life essences of both parties are different and they are not at the same level at all.

There were a myriad of auras and various strange phenomena all around Lu Chengfeng, including the Thousand-Armed Guanyin, the rising sun and the setting moon, a heavenly sword across the sky, raging water, fire, wind and thunder, and the rotation of yin and yang. All kinds of scenes were incredible.

This is the foundation he has accumulated from absorbing countless gifts. It represents the comprehension and cognition of the predecessors about the heaven and earth, which have now been transformed into his own resources.

He now needs to deduce and explore, and integrate all his accumulation into one for his own use.

This requires an extremely long process and cannot be achieved in a short period of time. It requires opportunity, understanding, and a flash of inspiration.

Having reached this stage for him, the promotion to the Fighting Dharmakā is no longer the biggest problem. What he needs to consider is his own path.

This is because almost everyone will be blocked at the level of Dharmakāya. With his accumulation, he can cultivate the Fighting Dharmakāya as long as he has time, and it is not a difficult problem.

Now, the most important question is what kind of path to take to accommodate all one’s own accumulation and thus step into the Dharma.

Around Lu Chengfeng's body, the three-pointed, double-edged sword drew an inexplicable trajectory, the wind and thunder were deafening, and lightning and thunder roared, as if it was opening up the land.

"boom!"

The sky collapsed and the earth cracked. Lu Chengfeng formed a seal with his hands. It was the Heaven-Flipping Seal that he had just practiced not long ago. With one strike, it seemed that he could crush the sky.

After Lu Chengfeng practiced the Heaven-Flipping Seal, he suddenly changed. His hands became like treasure bottles, swallowing and exhaling essence from all directions. There was a sense of mystery and wonder as if clouds were in the sky, water was in a bottle, and the world was transformed into the palm of his hand.

Not long after, the whole person was suddenly enveloped in flames, emitting a blazing dragon power and extremely vigorous vitality, like a tumbling red dragon, majestic and enormous.

The next moment, the true dragon's aura dissipated, and he seemed to have turned into the ghost of the underworld, holding the soul-shaking bell, walking between the yin and yang worlds, mysterious and unpredictable, with no life or death.

He continued to perform, evolving the various magical skills he had comprehended one by one. Dragons and tigers roared, and red dragons soared into the sky. Later, five-colored divine light emerged, and a golden tripod rose and fell...

Lu Chengfeng has learned so many secret arts and magical powers, especially after killing countless demons on the battlefield of Tianmo Continent, he now knows almost tens of thousands of secret arts and magical powers.

From what he had learned in the past to what he had realized now, he continued to deduce, and in the end he once again transformed into a red dragon, with flames soaring into the sky, extremely strong and masculine. This was the Red Dragon Transformation, a technique of transformation in which his fighting form and physical body became one.

He used this method to fight against Guanyin, with overwhelming ferocity and terrifying power.

In the end, Lu Chengfeng calmed down instead, still sitting cross-legged under the gate of void. All his energy dissipated, and thousands of magical powers and techniques collapsed, shattering into dense runes.

He began to disassemble all the magical powers and secret techniques, delving into the mysteries of the universe and heaven and earth contained therein, analyzing them into the most fundamental runes.

From the Bixiao Sword Manual, the Great Five Elements Divine Light Sword, the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Taming that he practiced at the beginning... all the way to the Red Dragon Transformation, all of them were transformed into the most original Tao runes.

One hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred Tao runes are the foundation of heaven and earth. All the Taos and principles in the world are evolved from these one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred runes.

Even the entire Three Realms can be analyzed using these 129,600 Dao runes.

Even the most mysterious time cannot escape these 129,600 Tao runes.

Lu Chengfeng broke down and expanded all the secret techniques and magical powers he had learned, comprehended, and known, studying how his predecessors had opened up the great road, so that he could walk his own path.

This was originally an extremely long process, but his foundation was too profound, and he directly burned endless demonic energy, using the power of time to accelerate his deduction at all costs.

One day in the outside world means thousands of years to Lu Chengfeng.

The aura on his body became purer and purer, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, with an indescribable sense of vastness.

At some point, the golden lotus body, the lotus seed fetus, and the three-pointed, double-edged sword began to resonate, and a subtle transformation occurred with the soul as the center.

The soul is like the Tao. The Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.

There is a vigorous atmosphere and an unfathomable abyss in Lu Chengfeng's soul, as if something is gestating.

Rumble!
Even his three-pointed, double-edged sword broke into pieces, disintegrating into dense runes, like a galaxy unfolding.

Boom!

The lotus seed embryo shattered, like broken glass, filling the entire world with a refreshing fragrance.

The Dao Fetus is the foundation of his power of time and it also incorporates the power of the Three Lifetimes Golden Lotus, but it was still dismantled by Lu Chengfeng.

boom!
In the end, even the golden lotus's body exploded, and a golden light filled the air...

Only a three-inch soul was sitting cross-legged in the void, chanting scriptures.

Lu Chengfeng analyzed his cultivation, magical powers and physical body over and over again, trying to find the path that best suits him.

The great way is the foundation, and magical powers and fighting skills are just means.

In front of the Gate of Void, Lu Chengfeng sat cross-legged in spirit. He was not in a hurry, as finding the right path and way was a long process.

He pointed his hand and countless phantoms of immortals, Buddhas, demons and monsters appeared around his body, each of them performing various magical skills.

There were countless immortals, Buddhas, demons and monsters buried in the Demon Continent. Every one of them had once attained enlightenment, and many of them were great Dharma-image masters. All of them had become demon spirits, numbering in the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions. No one could tell. All the accumulation and gifts of so many immortals, Buddhas, demons and monsters in the past had been digested by Lu Chengfeng, and were now being analyzed and refined by him.

There are so many immortals, Buddhas, demons and monsters gathered together, covering everything and almost accommodating all the laws of the world.

Lu Chengfeng's soul was protected by countless phantoms of immortals, Buddhas, demons and monsters, like the king of all immortals, the ancestor of all Buddhas, the emperor of all monsters, and the lord of all demons...

After the lotus seed embryo collapsed, the power of time roared, like a long and magnificent river unfolding, connecting the past, present and future, and enveloping all the shadows of immortals, Buddhas, demons and monsters.

The law of cause and effect condenses into a golden lotus, chanting the ancient Buddhist scriptures, floating on the long river, going with the flow, with no beginning and no end.

Lu Chengfeng found that his foundation was too profound. To fully analyze so many magical powers and secret techniques was an extremely huge project, not to mention completely digesting and absorbing them and bringing forth new ideas.

So he chose the most ancient and primitive method, just like raising a Gu, allowing his own foundation to collide violently.

In the vast river of time, countless immortals, Buddhas, demons and monsters were fighting and colliding constantly. The defeated ones turned into fine and dense runes and fell to the bottom of the river. The winners became more powerful and created huge waves in the river.

This scene was like a vast epic, evolving at an extremely terrifying speed. Every moment, countless phantoms of immortals, Buddhas, demons and monsters were annihilated.

Lu Chengfeng moved the heaven and earth, comprehended all the laws of the past and present, and wanted to find a path of his own.

At this time, all kinds of strange visions appeared, the long river rolled and emitted a blazing light. The phantoms of every immortal, Buddha, demon and monster collapsed and turned into fine runes, sinking to the bottom of the river like sand.

Lu Chengfeng attained enlightenment at the Gate of Void, and resonated with the magical powers and secret techniques of many immortals, Buddhas, demons and monsters from ancient times to the present. He experienced the ways of the ancient sages and melted them into one furnace.

At this moment, immortals, Buddhas, demons and monsters appear, with different magical powers and secret techniques, showing different brilliance!
Each of them is an existence that can be called a legend and myth among the mortal world. Although they have different strengths and even conflicting principles, they are all valuable references and inspirations for Lu Chengfeng.

At this moment, the immortals, Buddhas, demons and monsters seemed to resurrect from the long river of ancient time. Each one of them was extremely domineering, powerful, evil, or immortal.

They were fighting madly, and in the end, there were only 360 figures left on this magnificent river. 360 avenues suppressed the river.

Each of these figures has the might to suppress the past, present and future. Although they have not attained the status of Heavenly Lord for various reasons, they are either gifted with extraordinary talents, or they are practicing ancient traditions, or they are blessed by the good fortune of heaven and earth.

At the source of the long river, a treasure bottle was pouring out, as if all the water of time was pouring out from that treasure bottle.

At the end of the long river, a golden lotus slowly blooms, as if blooming in the distant future.

The mutton-fat jade bottle is a treasure left by the Taoist ancestor.

The Golden Lotus of Three Ages is a treasure left by the Buddha.

Lu Chengfeng uses the jade bottle as the past and the golden lotus as the future. Time connects the past and the future, and contains the wisdom and accumulation of countless immortals, Buddhas, demons and monsters from ancient times to the present.

Hence the horrible scene we have today!
A long river runs through it all, and three hundred and sixty demon gods roar toward the sky.

The jade bottle at the source of the long river turned into a silhouette, and the golden lotus at the end of the long river had a Buddha sitting cross-legged.

Taoism and Buddhism are the source of the entire three-level practice. They are the most powerful Taoist tradition and the most powerful inheritance.

Lu Chengfeng sat cross-legged silently, motionless as a mountain under the gate of the void, with only his soul shining brightly.

He silently watched everything that evolved on this long river, his eyes thoughtful.

"Roar……"

As soon as he had a thought, his mind merged with that of a demon god in the long river, making the demon god seem to come alive.

This is a being who practices the way of thunder, like the god of thunder. When he raises his hands and feet, lightning flashes and thunder roars, and the sky explodes. He is about to destroy the world with thunder.

He had another thought, and this time he transformed into a giant demon, swallowing up the corpses of countless creatures. His magic power gathered into a sea of ​​blood, and murderous aura soared into the sky.

"To reach enlightenment and to ascend to heaven through practice, how difficult it is!"

"There have been countless wise men since ancient times, and I can refer to them one by one."

“But even the elders and sages have to comprehend the world.”

"The ultimate goal of cultivation is to align one's own way with the Way of Heaven, to create the world, and to become a part of the Way of Heaven."

Lu Chengfeng suddenly remembered all his past experiences. He was not originally from this world, but by chance and destiny he became Lu Chengfeng.

Lu Chengfeng was not him originally, but he eventually became Lu Chengfeng.

Later, he disguised himself as Yi Wushuang and roamed freely among Yufa Tianzun, and no one could see through him.

Later on, they possessed guardian spirits, and each guardian spirit could transform into a real body at any time.

And the ever-changing forms of the Six Desire Heavenly Demons...

Lu Chengfeng suddenly had an idea in his mind, "Everything between heaven and earth is changing, whether it is time, cause and effect, emptiness, fate, life and death, yin and yang, the five elements... everything is changing."

"The only constant is change itself!"

"Even the heaven and earth will eventually die, and return to chaos."

"From the creation of the world to the return to chaos, it is also changing."

"If I want to practice, I should practice the way of change, comprehend the various changes between heaven and earth, and seek the unchanging principle from the endless changes. Ultimately, I will innovate, be born in heaven and earth, and transcend heaven and earth."

"Therefore, my practice is... the way of transformation!"

As soon as this thought came to his mind, heavenly sounds echoed around Lu Chengfeng's magical powers, deafeningly. The vast and magnificent river that appeared in front of him began to evolve in some mysterious direction.

Lu Chengfeng's soul was sitting cross-legged on the long river, with heavenly music lingering around him, supported by a golden lotus, holding a treasure vase in his hand, and surrounded by three hundred and sixty gods and demons, extremely powerful.

“The way of change is, first, change, second, transformation.”

"Change is easy!"

"The transformer is one!"

“The way of change is to imitate, change form, and finally use it for your own benefit.”

"By changing into flying birds and walking beasts, one can obtain the wonders of all living things in heaven and earth."

"By changing water, fire, wind and thunder, one can obtain the wonders of nature."

"The transformation of immortals and Buddhas is sacred, and one can obtain the wisdom of predecessors and sages."

"Change the world and mountains and rivers, and you will gain the wonders of creation!"

“If one day, in a single thought, one can transform into the three realms, this way of transformation can be called a great achievement!” (End of this chapter)
