His voice trembled with indescribable emotion, as well as boundless gratitude from Wang Baole's heart.
There were many people in Wang Baole's life who could affect him, but among them, the one who had the greatest impact on him … was definitely his senior brother.
From the beginning of their encounter, to the middle of their experiences, to the later conflicts, to the final release, all of this had long since elevated the relationship between the two of them to the level of senior and junior brother. It had settled down in the years and filled their memories.
They were senior brothers, but also fellow Daoists.
Fellow Daoists.
Therefore, after hearing Father Wang's words, he was greatly shaken by Wang Baole. The thought of regaining what he had lost was like a hurricane, causing new waves to appear in the depths of his heart. He had lost his past and future, and his personality had also changed.
It was like ripples appearing on the surface of a calm lake. It was like a frozen mountain that was melting.
The waves and the melting came as Father Wang accepted Wang Baole's bow. With a wave of his hand, a bead containing a soul flew out and floated in front of Wang Baole. It reached its peak when it finally floated in front of him.
Wang Baole stared at the bead in the extreme. His gaze seemed to travel back in time.
It was a seven-colored bead, and there seemed to be seven-colored wisps of smoke swirling inside. Although there were many colors, they couldn't hide the fact that Chen Qing's soul was sitting cross-legged in meditation within the wisps of smoke.
His eyes were closed, as if he were in a deep sleep. The seven-colored wisps of smoke around his soul seemed to be nourishing it. Every time they passed through his soul, his soul would visibly grow stronger.
Wang Baole had seen a bead like this before. Wang Yiyi's soul had been in a similar bead before. It was obvious that this object was a precious treasure. Only a treasure like this could possess the power to defy the heavens and contain a dissipated soul, nourishing it and making it more lively.
As for the seven-colored wisps of smoke inside, Wang Baole could already tell with his current cultivation base that each wisp contained natural laws and laws. Each wisp … contained boundless vitality.
To be more precise, they were … seven Daos.
Seven Daos were extracted from the universe to repair Chen Qing's soul.
Such extravagance was already shocking enough. It could be seen how important it was.
After staring at it for a long time, Wang Baole reached out and gently placed the pearl that contained Chen Qingzi's soul into his palm, fusing it into his world. When he looked up, Wang Baole clasped hands and bowed deeply to Father Wang.
Father Wang glanced at Wang Baole and slowly said, "The Stone Tablet World is not complete. If you want it to be complete, you will need a long period of baptism. Therefore … your Senior Brother's soul was reincarnated within the Stone Tablet World, and his future was limited. As for him … he has the potential to form a Dao Seed, and his future is limitless."
"He needs a more complete world with more comprehensive Dao laws, such as … my hometown." Having said that, Father Wang turned around and walked towards the boat. The Elder Ape, Fox, and Moonstar Laozu followed him immediately. Only Wang Yiyi stood there, looking at Wang Baole as if she wanted to say something.
"Yiyi."
Before she could speak, Father Wang's voice rang out.
Wang Yiyi stood there silently, her head bowed as she walked towards the boat. When she was on board, she mustered up her courage and turned to look at Wang Baole.
"Fatty, are you coming or not?!"
Wang Baole was a bit taken aback by the way she addressed him. It had been a long time since Little Missy had called him that. After a moment of silence, Wang Baole smiled.
"Is there enough space on the boat?"
Despite what he said, he was already walking towards the boat and leaping onto it.
Ripples spread out in the starry sky as the boat began to move forward. It seemed to be moving slowly, but as it did, the air around it began to ripple and distort. Illusory images flickered, and within those images, numerous stars, galaxies, and universes could be seen.
"So, this is the Great Universe, huh …?" Wang Baole sat there in the boat, looking out. A strange gleam appeared in his eyes. He was well aware that the boat was not moving slowly. When its speed reached an unimaginable level, it was impossible to tell the difference between fast and slow.
What could be determined was no longer oneself, but rather … the object of reference.
As if he could sense Wang Baole's thoughts, Father Wang sat there at the prow of the boat, not turning his head to look at him.
"You only understand part of it," he said coolly. "You can try to gain more enlightenment. What … is moving?"
Wang Yiyi blinked, suppressing the complex emotions in her heart. A thoughtful look appeared in her eyes as she looked out into the starry sky. Wang Baole stared in shock. At first, he looked out of the boat, but then he retracted his gaze and looked back at the boat. Gradually, a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.
He discovered that the ship he was on hadn't moved at all from the beginning to the end.
"What's moving … isn't the boat," he murmured. "It's … the Universe itself!!" As he muttered, Wang Baole raised his head abruptly and stared at the back view of Wang Yiyi's father.
He couldn't even begin to imagine what Realm one must have to have reached … to be able to cause the Universe to move in front of one's eyes. Furthermore, one's speed had reached an indescribable level.
"There's a limit to the speed of a cultivator. That's why, most of the time, when you realize that you can jump out of the box and look at things from a different perspective, you will realize that … cultivation is actually very simple." Father Wang's voice traveled into Wang Yiyi and Wang Baole's ears.
Wang Yiyi's eyes were filled with confusion, as if she didn't quite understand. As for Wang Baole … his eyes shone with an intense light. It was as if a huge door had suddenly opened in his mind.
As the door opened, Wang Baole's mind trembled. The Daos of the five elements glittered brightly on his body. The Daos of the past and the Daos of the future were now empty, but they also transformed into black and white light that surrounded him.
The five elements weren't important.
The past and the future weren't important.
The underworld and the sage of the sun weren't important either.
These were all narrow concepts. True cultivation was ….
Wang Baole suddenly looked up and said in a low voice, "Everything in existence is for me to use!"
"Becoming the source is the foundation of Heaven Trampling. When you realize what you just said, and do it, you will have reached the fifth step of cultivation. " Father Wang turned and looked at the confused Wang Yiyi. He sighed inwardly, then looked at Wang Baole, and his eyes shone with praise.
"What about the sixth step?" Wang Baole asked.
"The sixth step?" Father Wang looked off into the distance, his eyes profound.
"Every almighty Fifth Step cultivator has a different sixth step. Some create universes, and set their sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth steps from the perspective of dimensions. I don't like fancy things.
"Some turn into worlds and use protection as their Dao heart. Although everyone is here and he is the only one who dissipates, as long as his story is passed down, he will always exist. He will live in the past and cultivate endlessly.
"Some use destruction as the source. As long as everything is not destroyed, his Dao will be incomplete. However, the more incomplete it is, the more he wants to reincarnate. In his endless pursuit, he will naturally go further and further.
"Some use karma to become myths and legends. They are the opposite of the past and live in the future without beginning or end."
Wang Baole thought for a moment and asked, "What about the Celestial Emperor?"
"The Celestial Emperor?" Father Wang smiled.
"If we compare our ultimate universe, which contains countless universes, to a table, some people are studying how to create this table, some people are studying the past of this table, some people are thinking about how to destroy this table, and some people are occupying the future of this table."
"Then, the Celestial Emperor wants to become this table and solidify it so that researchers can't study it, the Exterminators can't be destroyed, and those who occupy the past and future will be driven away. At the same time … he wants to swallow these people and make them a part of himself."
Wang Baole's eyes narrowed. After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but ask the last question.
"Senior … what about you?"
