Chapter 431 - What Is Dao? (2/2)

When it was threatened, it pushed back with everything and displayed the utmost ruthless and decisiveness within.

Lin Feilin's dazed eyes revealed confusion for a moment. It lingered for a while before enlightening seemed to spring within her soul.

Yan Zaizen could never tell her with words what a Dao was. That wasn't possible. If he did, he could only explain that it was a path that one embarked, but that was too simple. Could he say it was the personification of a sense of self? That wasn't exactly right either.

The Soul Source Path required introspective insight and understanding to progress. It revealed the truest sense of self, but did all those in the Astral Core Realm have a Dao? If so, why not?

That was because there was a very thin film of distance between them, one sufficient enough to make them entirely different things. What was the Heavenly Dao? It was the representation of Heaven's Will, no?

However, if he had to explain it, then it would be: ”It is a Path. No, it is THE PATH.” He could only hope that what she showed was enough.

”I see,” Lin Feilin spoke. However, whether she truly saw the truth or not wasn't something Yan Zaizen knew. He had used the purest heavenly aura that encompassed and carried the trace of Heaven's Will, his Paragon Soul Realm to forcefully place Lin Feilin into a state of empty-mindedness and utmost clarity, and displayed his Dao to her.

This was the most he could do.

”What is Dao?” Lin Feilin asked, her voice lost its monotone nature and seemed to be infused with spirit and profound emotion.

Yan Zaizen unhesitantly answered again, ”It is a Path. It is everything, anything, and nothing.” The blood from his lips continued to flow, his Dao light brightening the room like a miniature sun.

”A Path…” Lin Feilin murmured.

Then, it hit her.

Yan Zaizen saw it in her eyes. He saw her memories. He saw her emotions experienced from every second in her life. He saw the light of herself arrive. No, of her truest self and her own way.

”The Dao is a beginning to an end.”

Those words she spoke struck like lightning bolts in Yan Zaizen's mind. That's right! It was a path, the beginning to an end? And what was that end? Why was the Dao graded by levels? Why was the Dao capable of being bestowed to others? Why did it require one's Origin Source to truly evolve?

It was because it was a Path to one's self. It was different from understanding one's self and who you are, like the Soul Source Path. Its believing in what you want to be. Is the Dao you choose correct?

This question was often mentioned by scholars and high-level cultivators often, but what did that mean? It meant if the Path they've chosen to embark, the way they've decided to live, was its synchronized with one's origin? It is a path that can not be halted once entered, and your Dao either dissipates, shatters, or becomes complete. There was no other option.

Yan Zaizen's Dao was the Dao of Sovereign Ascension. It was his truest way of life and the path he'd chosen to embark. At the end, he would've ascended to become a Sovereign.

The previous Xiantu Realmlord's Dao was the Dao of Belief. At the end, his faith in whatever he believed in, the faith that personified and led his every thought, would solidify into an untouchable, invincible, unshakeable belief.

Yri's Dao was a Dao related to obsession and she pursued that to its utmost limit. When she reached the peak, obsession would become all she is.

It was a path that led to a certain end. It led to one's own truest self, both personality-wise and existentially.

Yan Zaizen could not say this, but he could only attempt to allow her to see. Even the Heavenly Aura that embodied the Heavenly Dao that encompassed the world wanted to be the world!

It can be everything, anything, or absolutely nothing!

Lin Feilin's body started to suffuse an aura of the Dao. Her eyes flashed with traces of golden light as her Nascent Dao started to slowly form.

Yan Zaizen clenched his bloodied teeth as he forcefully exerted his Heavenly Dao Seed aura to encapsulate the both of them. While he was happy with the formation of her Dao, the Heavenly Dao, or the Heavenly Gods would send tribulation towards those who wished to form their Dao. This meant even the Heavenly Gods feared the Dao of others, and he knew it was for good reason.

”You can do it!” He wished her luck. While the Nascent Dao formation was just the start, it was the most difficult. You had to find and truly invest your everything into a singular path. This path was also incredibly fragile, and if broken, your Dao would shatter into nothing.
