Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1421 - 658: Dao Struggle, Stirring the Law Origin
Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
"What is the difference between Dao and Law?"
Jiang Fan touched his chin and continued to ask.
"Laws are the foundations that construct the world, a part of nature."
"And the Dao, it is created by man."
"Thus, there are only three thousand kinds of Laws, while Dao is infinite."
"Because every Immortal can create their own Dao."
"Theoretically speaking, Dao has no hierarchy."
"But as time moves on and the Immortal Realm keeps advancing, some Daos naturally stand above others."
"Because these Daos are forwarded by countless Immortals walking this path, continuously proving their Dao, making this Dao stronger and thus more formidable."
Ten Thousand Treasures Hall said solemnly.
"Can you give an example?"
Jiang Fan furrowed his brow.
"For instance, the Path of Longevity."
"The master of this Dao is the Longevity Palace, which is a colossal force in the Immortal Realm."
"All Immortals who cultivate the Path of Longevity are members of the Longevity Palace."
"As their numbers increase and more Immortals cultivate this Dao and prove their path."
"Thus making the Path of Longevity increasingly powerful."
"The power of the Path of Longevity affects not only the Immortal Realm but countless worlds in the Mortal World too."
"It has even become one of the fundamental forces of the universe."
"If one day, the Path of Longevity stands above other Daos, it would become the universe’s most fundamental force, enabling everyone to achieve longevity and gain an extensive lifespan."
"But in this way, Immortals who cultivate other Daos would perish, completely transformed by Dao, becoming part of the Path of Longevity, and this is the struggle of Dao in the Immortal Realm."
Ten Thousand Treasures Hall said softly.
Thus the struggle of Dao in the Immortal Realm is extremely cruel, allowing only victory, not failure.
Immortals cultivating different Daos fight intensely among each other, killing one another.
Only Immortals cultivating the same Dao can become friends.
"The Path of Longevity seems quite good."
"If it succeeds, everyone could attain long life. Isn’t that a good thing?"
The Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron asked curiously.
"Hehe, you think the Path of Longevity is good, but the other Immortal Kings don’t think so."
"For example, the Reincarnation Immortal King believes that the lifespan of all beings should be short-lived, even Immortals shouldn’t live too long."
"Because having too long a lifespan would turn the universe into stagnant waters, losing the potential for further progression, plunging the universe into destruction instead."
"If too many beings live too long, it would result in class stagnation, young people would never emerge, positions of power always occupied by the elderly, leaving no chance for the young."
"He believes the Path of Reincarnation is the strongest Dao, where each being’s lifespan is brief, but they can reincarnate through many lives, accumulating the essence of a thousand lifetimes, allowing everyone to achieve Dao, everyone to become like dragons."
"Even if each lifetime is short, with the number of reincarnations, one can still accumulate immeasurable cultivation and due to short lifespans, activate each being’s talents and wisdom."
Ten Thousand Treasures Hall explained.
"By saying so, the Path of Reincarnation seems good too, having merits."
"If the Path of Longevity succeeds, the world might become stagnant waters."
"After all, if everyone attains longevity, the young would have no opportunity."
"Wouldn’t that mean those born earlier gain all the advantage?"
Many Magical Treasures nodded simultaneously in agreement.
"But the Creation Immortal King doesn’t think so, he believes the Path of Creation is the strongest."
"Although the Path of Reincarnation is powerful, allowing everyone to reincarnate and experience reincarnation."
"But there are immense differences between people, those differences greater than the gap between humans and dogs."
"Even if an ordinary person reincarnated a hundred times, it’s just wasting away their years."
"Only true geniuses would benefit from it, accumulating the essence of cultivations across lifetimes."
"But the Creation Immortal King believes everyone can create miracles, as long as they can seize the creation of heaven and earth, even mortals can match geniuses, enhance their talents, and only then truly make everyone like dragons."
Ten Thousand Treasures Hall sneered.
"What the Creation Immortal King said is indeed right."
"Why do some people have innately high talents, while others remain mediocre their entire lives?"
"How unfair is that."
"If one can seize creation to compensate for their defects and become a genius, that’s the strongest Dao, the miracle of life, the relentless pursuit of life."
"What nonsense Path of Reincarnation, if a mortal reincarnates a hundred times, they remain a mortal."
Taiyi Five Smoke Net, Ten Thousand Beasts Painting, Primordial Magnetic Divine Thunder Pearl, and other Magical Treasures strongly agreed with this point.
They believe the limitations of talent create class differences among beings.
This is not an issue longevity and reincarnation can resolve.
"But my former master, Wanbao Immortal King, doesn’t think so."
"He believes the Path of Ten Thousand Treasures is the strongest Dao."
"The so-called Path of Creation is merely a self-serving Dao."
"Because the creation within the universe is limited, but mortals are numerous."
"Even if creation could be seized, only a few would benefit."
"Even if a mortal seizes creation to become a peerless genius, what changes? It’s merely adding another Celestial Spirit Root Cultivator."
