Chapter 382 Divine Awakening to the Great Dao
"The Wisdom Furnace still exists, which means that its grade far exceeds that of Gu Susu, and it cannot be interfered with by the Saint Realm's process of turning the fake into the real."
"We've really struck gold!"
Su Yun quickly figured it out: ordinary treasures are unconscious, or their spirits have simple consciousness.
It will not be affected by the collapse of the world.
Gu Susu's method of transforming the fake into the real can conceptually modify the material world, thereby turning the fantasies in his mind into reality.
However, in order to target the two Saint Realm cultivators, Zhou Nanchu and Cheng Bi, she narrowed down the scope, making it only real within the cultivators' perception.
The ordinary treasures didn't have enough power to detect the effects, so they didn't work.
However, since Zhou Nanchu and Cheng Bi are both Saint Realm cultivators, their perceptions are true, and their powerful strength can influence the surrounding environment.
Therefore, the things inside their Qiankun bags also became real, and were affected by the collapse of the world, turning into nothingness.
The impact on other cultivators was not as great, and their Qiankun bags were all discarded, so they were preserved.
But the Huilu furnace is different; Cheng Bi must have carried this thing with him at all times, and it's impossible for him to be far away from it.
Logically speaking, it should also be affected by the transformation of the fake into the real and turn into nothingness.
But in reality, the incense burner reappeared without any damage.
It is evident that its grade has exceeded the upper limit of Gu Susu's abilities.
The world that could swallow the Holy Realm collapsed, but it failed to affect the Wisdom Furnace.
It's easy to imagine how high the potential of this item is.
This gives us a glimpse into why the Great Emperor desired it.
Similarly, if Gu Susu wanted to make Cici experience the transformation from the fake to the real, he would also be swallowed up by the collapse of the world.
Even the Venerable Saviour will survive; her grade is too high for the Holy Realm to harm.
"Why did the Wisdom Furnace end up in my hands?"
"Could it be that it sensed something too?"
Su Yun glanced at it; he was currently at the entrance to the Peach Blossom Spring Secret Realm, not far away.
It's normal that Huilu came on his own.
But the key question is, why did I find myself?
Su Yun had only a fleeting question in his mind, but he did not hesitate at all.
He bit his fingertip and pressed it onto the incense burner.
Recognize the Lord with blood!
Such a treasure, only a fool wouldn't want it once it's in his hands!
As for the reason, we can find it later.
There are also 35 Wisdom Incense Burners, which can be collected one by one to find the reasons for their existence!
hum!
The incense burner in his palm emitted a joyful hum the moment it touched the blood.
It couldn't wait, so it transformed into a stream of light and burrowed into the skin of the palm.
In just a moment, it entered Su Yun's inner universe.
Wow!
Wow!
Wow!
The three great rivers continue to flow ceaselessly.
Each surge of the wave splashes out droplets of water.
As the eternal sun scorched them, these water droplets gradually dried up.
The tiny dust particles inside clung together, forming a rough little ball of mud.
As time went by, a dense forest grew on the little mud ball.
Living beings then appeared.
The little mud balls were actually planets in the endless universe.
Because of their varying distances from the three great rivers, these planets are influenced by the Great Dao in different concentrations and types.
Some forests are lush and green, some are engulfed in flames, some have transformed into a gigantic life form, and some, whether plants or animals, appear as spirits...
But no matter what it looked like, the entire universe became lively and full of energy.
With each breath that comes into being, spiritual energy flows.
The three great rivers represent the primordial pure air, the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, and the light of creation, respectively.
One that continuously releases the Great Dao and then recycles its fragments.
One releases spiritual energy, then recovers the shattered spiritual power.
One that releases energy and matter, creates everything, and then incorporates minute particles into it...
With the advent of life, every breath and every growth causes all the contents of the body to circulate.
The universe began its endless cycle of life.
But these lives merely exist; their movements are like those of puppets, wooden and clumsy.
Because they grow in the most primordial universe, where the Great Dao manifests, spiritual energy is soft and edible, and great rivers constantly throw out matter.
Living beings can eat anytime, anywhere, constantly devouring others until they become invincible.
External stimuli cannot elicit any response from it.
Because it is so powerful, it can live freely in the universe as long as it is not submerged in the three rivers.
But even when they entered the river, they offered no resistance.
It is thus broken down into various particles and enters the cycle again.
These living beings made no distinction from the dead, had no motive, and had no desire.
Eating, devouring, and becoming powerful seem to be just natural phenomena, without any ulterior motives.
This is a bustling world, and also a desolate one.
It looks lush and green, but in reality, it lacks any real change.
Just like on the mountaintop, the wind howled, and the grass and trees were blown about.
It looks bustling, but can we really say that this place is prosperous?
Just then, a small cauldron fell from the sky.
It is trillions of times smaller than a planet, and is not worth mentioning at all.
A planet is but a tiny mud bead in the face of a great river.
And this small cauldron is so tiny that it defies description.
It appears in the universe, completely undetectable and insignificant.
But at this moment, something strange happened.
The primordial pure energy, the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, and the light of creation drifted by, and a small portion of them passively gathered on the small cauldron.
The golden patterns on the cauldron's body gleamed.
It is like a furnace, bursting forth with flames.
This tiny flame is insignificant, not to mention the universe, it's practically invisible even on a planet!
There were no important spectators nearby, only a few tiny ants.
Wow!
Flames surged and rose in specks of golden light from the small cauldron.
In the entire universe, no living being cared about this white light, not even the ants nearby.
They simply exist, instinctively filling ecological gaps, and then mechanically feeding.
hum!
However, when the golden light fell on the ant, it suddenly raised its head and looked around in a human-like manner.
It seems—that he's wondering!
The ant stood there stunned for a long time, seemingly experiencing a completely new sensation.
This is the first time in a long time that it has shown this unusual behavior.
New organs seemed to have grown inside that skull.
Immediately afterwards, the ants began to climb elsewhere.
Soon, it caught a cricket and began to feast on it.
The cricket didn't run away; it didn't know why something was catching it, nor did it feel any fear of being caught.
Even the cricket didn't know why it appeared in this form.
These things only appeared because of the Creator's instinct, based on a certain conceptual template.
The cricket is not a real cricket, but just an empty shell with a familiar shell.
Soon, the ant ate the cricket and felt much stronger.
Consuming food that flows through the air is far less efficient than eating other living beings.
The ant continued on its way, eating nectar from a few more flowers and a few more dragonflies.
Finally, they stopped in their tracks before a tiger wandered aimlessly.
The ant sensed fear and did not approach, to avoid being trampled to death.
It has learned to seek advantage and avoid harm!
Two hundred thousand years later, ants became the rulers of this planet.
All living beings became its food and also became part of its power.
The ant was no longer satisfied and became greedy.
It wants to live, to become stronger, to live forever and multiply, and to spread its branches and leaves.
The ants broke free of the planet and headed to another world.
Unfortunately, when the ant landed, it was trampled into mincemeat by a creature a billion times larger.
Mud balls come in all sizes, but this one was clearly enormous.
That enormous, terrifying creature trampled the ruler of another planet to death.
At first, it felt nothing.
But the next moment, a strange sensation surged into the unfamiliar organ.
It seems... it feels happy, filled with a sense of conquest.
At the same time, it also saw creatures a million times larger and felt genuine fear.
Seek advantage and avoid harm, and survive as much as possible.
Countless thoughts arose, and this creature found its target in just three hundred years and began to act...
And the dead ant was still emitting specks of golden light.
It flows into plants and enters the bodies of living beings.
On the first planet, as life dwindled, new life emerged.
As they approached the small cauldron, their eyes suddenly gleamed...
Countless eras are but a fleeting moment in the flow of the universe.
When Su Yun immersed himself in his divine sense, he witnessed an astonishing scene.
On each planet, life forms have established the most basic order.
They hid behind the sacred tree, their eyes filled with wildness.
At the opportune moment, they laid out their plan and launched a surprise attack on a mythical beast.
These primordial beings are no longer crude creations arising from the concentration of the Great Dao.
They developed a jungle law, began hunting each other, filling each ecological niche, and surviving as much as possible.
These creatures are incredibly powerful because of the three great rivers.
The strongest being on a planet can easily shatter its surroundings.
Then they ascended to another planet and began a new reign.
The great river surges and a new world appears every moment.
In this unstable world, not only are various concentrations extremely high, but new opportunities are also constantly emerging.
Su Yun recognized it: "This is the ancient...era of divine beasts!"
Countless planets, countless incredibly powerful beings.
Before the arrival of the small cauldron, they held complete control over the Great Dao, but did not know how to use it or where to use it.
Whether it exists or not, there is no essential difference.
They are like natural phenomena; they simply exist without any purpose of their own.
But after the little cauldron arrived, all living beings learned the simplest four words: seek advantage and avoid harm!
They know to avoid danger and prolong their lives as much as possible.
There are many ways to prolong life; some have learned to devour those weaker than themselves, thereby strengthening themselves.
Some have learned the art of reproduction; they may die, but their bloodline will live on forever!
Some have even learned to coexist and cooperate; they may be weak on their own, but they can become strong by uniting with allies...
A single, subtle change turned the entire universe upside down.
In just a few short epochs, the universe acquired true vitality—wisdom!
Living things have developed endless ways to survive.
They cooperate, fight, and devour each other, tearing fragments of the Great Dao from the largest creatures.
Then, it merges with the Great Dao within oneself, thus giving birth to a secondary Great Dao...
Living things appear more fragile than before, yet their complexity has increased many times over.
Rumble!
The three great rivers surged, and the currents were much more rapid than before.
As more elements were incorporated, the form of the universe evolved.
If everything becomes completely still, the three great rivers will gradually calm down after their creative power is exhausted, and the universe will slowly die.
But as wisdom emerges, living beings constantly change, and new splashes can be created even beyond the great river.
Each splash of water is small, but when they come together, they can form a trickle of water.
These streams flow into the great river, propelling the entire universe and restoring its surging power.
"That's the Wisdom Furnace!"
"The Wisdom Furnace absorbs external forces and transforms them into wisdom."
"And wisdom can add variables to the universe and drive its rotation."
"If there are no variables, the universe will remain the same for many years."
"After the driving force of creation is exhausted, it will fall into eternal silence, which is equivalent to death."
"But with variables, it's possible to continuously inject power."
"This is also why the universe can continue to function!"
Su Yun was excited; he felt that new power had been added to the three great rivers.
The Great Way of Divine Awakening!
The fundamental path of wisdom!
Matter and energy are a pair.
Time and space are a pair.
Life and wisdom are a pair.
Having life but lacking intelligence, it is an ancient mythical beast.
Each of them governs a major road, but they do not interact with each other at all.
During this period, life is essentially no different from inanimate objects.
Furthermore, death is limited to only a few creatures; other life forms cannot even die.
Life only becomes meaningful when we have wisdom.
With an observer, the universe is no longer spinning in solitude and has been infused with new vitality.
After the emergence of intelligence, life had a single mission—to survive.
In order to survive, ancient mythical beasts developed countless methods.
But whatever the method, let them fight each other, eliminate natural enemies as much as possible, and strengthen themselves.
Each battle shattered the Great Dao within the divine beast, causing it to merge with other Great Daos.
After countless cycles, the Great Dao dispersed throughout the entire universe, becoming omnipresent.
In Su Yun's inner universe, after trillions of epochs, having passed the era of divine beasts, the era of humans will arrive.
When the Great Dao disperses to a certain extent, it can no longer support the divine beasts to eat.
At that time, beings capable of cultivation will appear.
They may be born weak, but they possess countless possibilities.
There is only one giant beast in a universe, ten divine beasts on a planet, and trillions of mortals in a realm.
Clearly, the latter can generate the most variables.
Even if only one person becomes an enemy every 100,000 years, only one person becomes an immortal every 10 million years.
The resulting changes far exceed those of a giant beast that has remained unchanged for hundreds of millions of years.
hum!
Su Yun felt a sudden clarity in his mind, and an inexplicable sense of mystery welled up in his heart.
The truths that I couldn't understand before were suddenly revealed.
Things that I had only glanced at in the past are now clearly displayed before my eyes.
"The Wisdom Furnace can actually open the Great Dao of Divine Awareness for me?"
Su Yun felt pleasantly surprised, as Divine Sense was one of the six fundamental Daos.
Now, a cauldron of wisdom has actually been opened for me?
"No, that's not right."
"The function of the Wisdom Furnace is to enlighten the mind; it is true that it helped activate the cosmic beings within me."
"The Great Dao of Divine Awakening was brought by those divine beasts!"
Su Yun quickly figured out what had happened.
The Wisdom Furnace has a purpose; otherwise, it wouldn't have been sought after by the Great Emperor, who wanted to possess it.
For ordinary cultivators, it can absorb idle power, such as spiritual power, as well as the scattered Dao.
This generates fragments of wisdom, which assist cultivators in their growth.
Comprehension can be temporarily enhanced with medicine and secret treasures, but how difficult it is to improve wisdom!
Even a tiny increase would greatly benefit a cultivator's long lifespan.
