The Daoist in the middle looked at him for a moment and said, "If you wish to see the Dao technique, you must first understand the mechanism of Dao. The principle of creation is to create changes out of nothing, and within changes, there are changes …"
As he spoke, Zhang Yu saw a spot of Primordial Light appearing under his feet. It entered and exited the void, coming and going back and forth. In such changes, it was like a spark that existed for a long time. It went from changing to being fixed, from being fixed to being changing. It was very weak at first, then gradually grew stronger. Finally, it gushed out, and everything was formed from this.
"When Dao transforms into a world, it becomes me. When Dao transforms into a world, it becomes me. When Dao transforms into a world, it becomes me. We seek the Dao technique. When we break all changes, we return to the origin. At the end, there is the fruit of Dao."
Zhang Yu then saw that the countless lights were extinguished one by one. Everything seemed to converge, and in the end, it returned to its original state. However, this was not the one that had transformed from nothingness. Instead, it was an immortal and indestructible existence that had cut off countless impurities and finally purified into one.
If the Dao of the beginning was said to be formed by nature, then the Dao of the final return was to control me. It was one with the spirit, one with the human, and one with Dao.
At this moment, the Daoist on the right continued, "When the Dao of the beginning was formed, there was the birth of the world. There are countless worlds, rising and falling, changing constantly. This world was formed from one origin, and was reborn into ten thousand worlds. In every world, there is you, and also not you."
The Daoist on the left said, "If you wish to pursue the perfection of Dao, you must remove the imperfection of Dao. The self of the myriad changes is this imperfection. Only by focusing on the precelestial, transforming all me, and searching for the Dao of the beginning, can Dao be perfected."
The Daoist on the right said, "The Dao of the lower Dao is to seek for a world, to fix and defend, to wait for the self to come and kill. Because it can obtain the help of instruments and fellow Daoists, every self that is killed can increase the imperfection by one point. However, there are countless of us, and there will never be a day when we can kill them all. Although we can use tools and techniques to protect the Dao, there is one thing that I can win. However, once we lose the opportunity, we will fall into oblivion and perish, and there will be no way to continue. "
The last Daoist said, "The Path of the Middle Dharma is to use the world of myriad transformations as the landscape. When encountering a tribulation, one would escape to another world. If there are other selves to kill, one would fight if one can. If one can't fight, one would avoid the other world and eliminate the burden. In this way, one would forever be true to oneself, free from external disturbances and evade myriad transformations. However, by leaping back and forth like this, although one can avoid the tribulation, the deeper one's self is, the harder it is to fully understand the principle of Dao without a foundation."
When Zhang Yu heard this, he couldn't help but ponder.
At this moment, the human figure in the middle looked at him and said, "The pros and cons of the Middle Dharma and the Lower Dharma are all known to Zhang Tingzhi. However, the Upper Dharma cannot be heard. If one hears it, one must enter this Dharma. Zhang Tingzhi, do you insist on choosing the Upper Dharma?"
Solemnly, the Daoist on his left said, "Zhang Tingzhi, you have to think carefully. You are using the Xuan Dharma to seek the Upper Dharma and open up a path that has never been seen before. Even if you choose the Upper Dharma, the path ahead of you has never been taken before. Perhaps, it is not similar to others. Therefore, whether you can walk through it or not, it is hard for us to say. This may be disadvantageous to you."
Another Daoist said, "The lower the Dharma, the easier it is to cross it. If you choose the Lower Dharma, with Zhang Tingzhi's Kung Fu, as long as your mind is set, you will be able to obtain it immediately. After this Dao, you only need to seek the Middle Dharma before the traces of fate are cut off. After that, you can continue to search for the Higher Dharma. It is not impossible to seek the Kung Fu."
However, Zhang Yu's mind did not waver because of this. He looked to the front and said, "I wish to seek the Upper Dharma!"
The Daoist in the middle said, "Since Zhang Tingzhi has made up his mind, then we will inform you. The Dao of the Upper Dharma, in terms of the True Dharma, is to obtain something from nothing and gather all of us into one. Using one to determine the outcome of ten thousand battles, using one to kill ten thousand Daos. However, Zhang Tingzhi needs to understand that if you win, then you can return. If you do not succeed in seeking the Dharma, then you will no longer exist in this world. There is no way out for this Dharma. "
When Zhang Yu heard the few Adepts speaking one after another, he felt that a Dao mechanism was born in his heart. Now that he heard what this Daoist said, all kinds of profound principles flowed through his heart. Enlightenment was born on its own.
The first stage of the Upper Dharma was to obtain something from nothing. It would be fine if you did not know about it. However, since you know about it, then there will definitely be a corresponding world of Dao appearing.
Moreover, if you wish to seek the Dharma or progress, then this world must be where you must restrain yourself. No matter what, you cannot avoid it.
It was no wonder that the Adept just now said, "Do not listen to it. If you listen to it, then you must enter". Knowing this step, then he must take this step. There was no turning back.
The Daoist in the middle raised his hand and a golden talisman floated in front of Zhang Yu. He said, "We have always used our Dao guarding treasures to protect the various dimensions and prevent our world from being disturbed by external forces. Only when we see those who seek to prove their Dao will we release our protection and allow them to seek their Dao. When Zhang Tingzhi has made up his mind, then you can use this talisman to summon me. "
Zhang Yu extended his hand and received the talisman. After keeping it, he bowed, "Thank you for your guidance, Adepts."
The five Adepts did not speak again.
Zhang Yu knew that it was time to leave. After bowing again, he turned around and left. He retreated along the path he came from. As his figure gradually entered a light screen, he retreated from this place.
The Daoist on the far right said, "The Dao of the Upper Dharma is to obtain something from nothing. If Zhang Tingzhi passes through this door, then this world will be his burden. If he doesn't, then it will be my burden. "
The Daoist on the far left said, "There has never been anyone who seeks the Dao through the Xuan Technique. It is difficult for me to observe. Regardless of whether he succeeds or not, the Dao of Myriad Transformations will always have an additional variable."
The Daoist in the middle said, "In the battle of the Dao path, if there is no Dao fruit, then there will be no victory or defeat. On the path of our generation, if there is another Daoist, then we may be able to break through the barrier and see the other side."
The rest of the Daoists nodded and agreed.
As their voices dissipated, the five Daoists' silhouettes also gradually disappeared from the Jade Disc.
Within the Qing Xuan Daoist Palace, Zhang Yu walked out from the door. As he stood still, the door also transformed back into a Jade Book and floated into his hand.
He took a look. This item did not dissolve. In other words, he could still use this item to meet the Five Adepts in the future. From the looks of it, after the Adepts plucked the Upper Dharma Fruits of Merit, they could all hold onto this item and meet the Five Adepts on their own.
As he thought about it, he kept the Jade Book and took out the golden talisman. After looking at it for a while, he thought about the matter of seeking the complete Dao technique.
At this stage of cultivation, there were no longer any specific techniques or incantations. The people in the upper realm could only tell you that there was still a path ahead and tell you where to go. However, they could only give you a rough idea. As for the specific path to take, it all depended on the cultivator. Others could not teach you.
Therefore, there would not be any extra protection along the way, nor would there be anyone to help. All the problems that he encountered would have to be resolved by himself.
However, this was already not bad.
At this moment, he already understood that after the Yuanyi Transformation, there would be countless worlds and countless selves. However, they would be separated from each other and would never see each other. To an ordinary person, not seeing each other was equivalent to not existing.
However, it was different for cultivators. When they reached a certain state, such as after achieving the Xuan Zun, they would jump out from the world. Then, they would naturally feel the otherworldly self.
From the perspective of the Dao technique, it was because all the selves wanted to obtain the Yuanyi. If you did not resolve the otherworldly self, the otherworldly self would come to kill you. The stronger the obsession to seek the Dao, the more frequent this would happen. There might even be otherworldly self attacking at every moment. The deeper one's cultivation, the more they would feel.
This was also because there were the administrators who calmed the various dimensions, so they did not feel this way.
To pass this hurdle, the simplest way was to use the "Lower Method." According to the administrators, one would sink into the world and not move, waiting for the otherworldly self to find them. This was because they could borrow the aid of instruments and Dao techniques in advance. They could even ask for help from fellow Daoists. This way, they could always prevent trouble before it happened. However, because the otherworldly self was endless, they might not be able to hold on forever. One mistake and they might be eliminated from this world.
The "Middle Method" was much more brilliant than this. After cultivators used this method, they could take the initiative to hide in the otherworldly self. If the otherworldly self came to kill them, they would fight if they could win. If they could not win, they would leave. They would search for the otherworldly self that they could defeat to eliminate them. This way, they could avoid the burden.
Logically speaking, the otherworldly self was endless, so they could always escape. However, it was not without its shortcomings. It was easy to avoid, but after leaving this world, they might not be able to return.
Moreover, success and failure depended on this method. This was because doing this was what they wanted. When they successfully avoided the otherworldly self, they would also bind themselves. It would be difficult for them to escape. It was very likely that they would forever wander back and forth in the various worlds of Dao, unable to attain the superior method. To overcome this point, they could not avoid or hide, but face it head-on.
Compared to the superior method, the "Upper Method" was also the most difficult.
It was to create something from nothing, to create a world. Ten thousand Daos turned into one, and this otherworldly self in the Dao was the supreme self. It was also the highest achievement that all the otherworldly selves in the world of Myriad Transformations could reach since the beginning of the world. Those who sought the Upper Method would have to fight it out. If they succeeded, then they would be able to prove the complete Dao technique.
However, if they failed, because the world of Dao was created from nothing, they would naturally return to the beginning of the world, never to be seen again. All of the otherworldly selves would also disappear from the world of Myriad Transformations, as if they had never existed in the various worlds.
However, Zhang Yu felt that everything might not be as he thought. This was because the five administrators had reminded him that what they passed on to him was the method to prove the True Method. What he was cultivating now was the Mysterious Method. In the past, there had never been Xuanxiu who had reached this step. Therefore, it was very likely that the path he had taken was different from others. As for what the situation was, it was still unknown.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of those cultivators who had plucked the superior method in the past but disappeared without a trace. Presumably, they had either sought the Medium Method or the Upper Method.
As for those who were still alive, it was not necessarily the Lower Method. Cultivators who could pluck the superior method, which one of them was not a person of outstanding talent? How many of them were willing to submit to the Lower Method?
However, there was another possibility, which was to simply abandon the Method and not pursue it. That was also possible. This was because the five administrators had used the treasure of Dao to suppress the Mysterious Method. They could sense it from the outside, so they were not afraid of being attacked by others. However, doing so would undoubtedly be abandoning their own Dao path.
When he thought of this, he thought of the old dragon Jiao Yao for no reason.
He shook his head, then took a few steps and arrived at the observation platform. He looked at the rolling sea of clouds in the distance.
As the Mysterious Method Xuan Zun, there had never been a Xuanxiu who had reached this step since ancient times. He was a person who sought the Dao, and also a person who opened the Dao. This path was definitely more difficult than others.
However, it was not difficult to imagine that the seniors who had tried to pass this stage in the beginning did not have anyone to guide them. Perhaps they had only cultivated the Lower Method in the beginning, and from the Lower Method, the Medium Method, and finally the Upper Method, they had walked step by step.
To be able to reach this step, they must have experienced countless failures. Otherwise, it would be impossible for there to be so few cultivators who had attained the Upper Realm.
The fact that he was able to know so much at the beginning was already because of the legacy left behind by many predecessors. In fact, he had surpassed many of them. Since he had inherited this legacy, then he should also inherit this legacy. If he could pass this test and obtain the complete Dao, then he would definitely inherit this legacy to those who came after him.
