Chapter 40 Life and Death, the Cycle of Reincarnation
The Daoist spirit and its immense power burst forth, and a trace of divine will was forcibly restrained by Fuxi and merged into the slowly descending Great Wheel of Life and Death.
The will of Heaven is vast and boundless, and the cycle of life and death continues. The Great Wheel of Life and Death, which originally only explained the human cycle of life and death, suddenly burst forth with ten-colored radiance, transforming into the cycle of life and death of Heaven and Earth.
With each rotation of the Great Wheel of Life and Death, the world is born and dies once. The birth of all things and the death of all spirits are tied to this precious wheel. When the dark light falls, all things and events turn to ashes and wither away. When the blue light descends, all things are born from nothingness, and humanity proliferates.
"The Heavenly Dao of Life and Death?!"
Houtu's pupils contracted as she looked at the dark blue treasure wheel that shimmered with thousands of proverbs and inscriptions, and her expression turned serious as she looked at Fuxi.
This one move alone is enough to show that Fuxi's level of cultivation is no weaker than hers.
The Xuanqing Heavenly Dao Wheel turned, and the majestic giant god carried the Netherworld. The two phenomena collided with each other, and the primordial spirits of Fuxi and Houtu merged into the phenomena displayed by the other, beginning to comprehend the essence of the Great Dao of Life and Death that the other had evolved.
The moment Fuxi's consciousness entered the Netherworld, he saw endless calamities approaching him—the Netherworld's Four Hundred Million Calamities, a terrifying calamity capable of annihilating any living being.
His pupils contracted, and the life and death energies intertwined around Fuxi, shattering the crimson blood and yin lightning tribulation that crashed down in front of him.
Looking at the crimson lightning constantly shattering in his palm, Fuxi was somewhat surprised by the weakness of the Crimson Blood Yin Lightning Tribulation. He paused for a moment, then looked around at the many tribulations that had been swept away by the life and death energies on his body, and chuckled softly.
"That's true. If Houtu could really evolve into the true Netherworld Four Hundred Million Tribulations, then she would have already advanced to the Primordial Great Luo Dao Lord."
Standing in the boundless and endless Netherworld, Fuxi's eyes shone with a strange light, and his mind spread in all directions, merging into the four hundred million eons of the Netherworld.
The laws of heaven and earth in the Netherworld are incomplete. The four hundred million calamities are called calamities, but in reality, they are the means used by the primordial heavenly way to further improve the Netherworld.
The four hundred million eons of evolution have manifested all things in the universe, continuously driving the evolution and perfection of all things in the Netherworld and the laws of Heaven. Therefore, the four hundred million eons of the Netherworld are actually a symbol of the laws of Heaven and Earth in the Netherworld.
Fuxi's primordial spirit merged into countless calamities of the underworld. Between fluctuations of consciousness, the essence of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth carried by these calamities was imprinted into Fuxi's primordial spirit.
Houtu is the ruler of the Netherworld. Even though the Netherworld Four Hundred Million Tribulations that she manifested was just a phantom, it still possessed a trace of the true meaning of the Great Dao of the Netherworld under the influence of the Netherworld's fortune.
As Fuxi comprehended the myriad tribulations of the Netherworld, his understanding of the Great Dao of the Netherworld deepened, and the Great Dao of Life and Death, which evolved from the source of his Daoist spiritual light, continued to evolve and sublimate.
Stepping through the air, Fuxi transformed into a majestic azure dragon. The dragon's roar resounded, and the immense power of life and death permeated the surroundings. Fuxi forcefully controlled the four hundred million calamities in the underworld.
The profound aura of the netherworld and the aura of life and death intertwined, and in the hazy state of Fuxi's consciousness, his mind and spirit connected with the will of the netherworld, entering the deepest realm of the Dao.
The merging of the primordial spirit with the Dao is extremely dangerous for any living being. The power of the Heavenly Dao is supreme and immense, far beyond what a single cultivator can contend with.
However, what Fuxi is now merging with is a wisp of the Heavenly Dao that Houtu has evolved from with her Netherworld authority and the power of life and death. This gives Fuxi a lot of room to maneuver. With Fuxi's mental state, this amount of power from merging with the Dao is not enough to shake Fuxi's will.
Fuxi's consciousness collapsed, and a strange fluctuation rippled and expanded in the Netherworld.
Like a dream, like an illusion, birth and death cycle endlessly. In the midst of chaos, the underworld has vanished, replaced by thousands upon thousands of world clusters, large and small, interlocking and intertwining, turning like gears.
Small world, medium world, great world, perfect world, eternal world, countless dimensions of heaven and earth overlap and intersect, and an extremely strange structure replaces the underworld.
Fuxi's consciousness split into 100,000 paths, transforming into 100,000 rays of light that poured into this endless, ever-growing world community.
The vast world is but a dream, and the cycle of Heaven is endless. Unbeknownst to them, Fuxi's ten thousand consciousnesses began their cycle through this infinite array of worlds.
In one life, I was an eagle, soaring through the sky, gracefully disappearing into the distance. In another, I was a mountain lord, roaring through the jungle, surveying all the beasts.
In one life, he was a spirit, hiding by day and venturing out at night, gathering vital energy and worshipping the moon. In another life, he was a cultivator, eating the clouds and drinking the dew, flying his sword through the azure sky.
One life as a god or demon, laughing at heaven and earth, vying for supremacy in the primordial world. One life as a demon lord, slaughtering all under heaven, all paths submitting...
Life after life, endless reincarnation, birth and death, within the cycle of reincarnation, life and death are but a fleeting moment, and within that fleeting moment lies the turmoil of an entire lifetime, continuous and without end.
Fuxi transformed the Netherworld, which Houtu had evolved into the cycle of reincarnation. In just a few breaths, Fuxi had already comprehended all the profound principles of the Great Dao that had been derived from the Netherworld.
This method of transforming the other person's insights into reincarnation, splitting one's own primordial spirit to comprehend the other person's Great Dao through the cycle of life and death, is a unique method of enlightenment created by Fuxi after experiencing the myriad dreams of the world: the cycle of reincarnation.
The Great Thousand Dreams was the most wondrous existence that Fuxi had ever witnessed. The myriad worlds and communities transformed into a cycle of reincarnation, and all living beings entered into this cycle. Only by transcending all the worlds of reincarnation could one truly transcend and rise above the cycle of reincarnation.
When Fuxi transcended the illusions of the universe, he had already realized that the illusions of the universe were actually the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld.
At that time, the underworld had not yet evolved to its full potential, and the cycle of reincarnation rooted in the underworld had also not evolved to its full potential. Fuxi was able to transcend the dream world because the dream world had not yet evolved to its full potential and had transformed into the cycle of reincarnation.
Otherwise, given Fuxi's cultivation and state of mind at that time, he would never have been able to transcend the cycle of reincarnation.
Having experienced the myriad dreams of the universe, Fuxi used the cycle of reincarnation as a template to create the method of reincarnation. This supernatural power allowed Fuxi to comprehend the essence of the great Dao of heaven and earth at an extremely fast speed.
This time, Fuxi forcibly bound the Netherworld evolved by Houtu into a cycle of reincarnation through the cycle of reincarnation. In just over ten breaths, he had already comprehended all the essential meanings of the Great Dao of Life and Death in the Netherworld that Houtu had evolved.
The vast and boundless world clusters transformed back into the Netherworld, and ten thousand consciousnesses returned. Fuxi glanced at the Netherworld and his consciousness returned to his own body.
In the octagonal jade pavilion amidst the sea of clouds, Fuxi looked at Houtu, who was still comprehending the Dao of Life and Death, and his eyes gleamed as he looked at the sacred Dharma body of the Netherworld behind Houtu.
Compared to the Netherworld, this Dharma Body is the core of Houtu's own Dao. Houtu has also revealed this Dharma Body, and naturally does not mind Fuxi comprehending it.
However, this is a Dharma body, essentially an incarnation of Houtu, so Fuxi naturally could not comprehend it through such a direct method as reincarnation.
