"Are you a celestial being?"
Seeing that Abbot Wusi had suppressed Duan Rui under the stupa in the back mountain of Shaolin to reflect on his mistakes and repent, Arhat Kongwen withdrew his gaze, took a step forward, and with a change of light and shadow, arrived outside Cao Ya's meditation room, saying with amazement.
"Mm." Cao Ya nodded.
Kong Wen Luohan thought to himself, "As expected." This was the guess of many people, but since it had not been confirmed by Cao Ya himself, there was still some doubt. After all, celestial beings are hard to find, but now Cao Ya had admitted it directly.
He truly is a celestial being!
“After the Middle Ages, apart from the Overlord, who is the only legendary figure, even the ancient saints, such as the Number Saint and the Heart Saint, were only at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm.” Kongwen Arhat clicked his tongue in amazement and said, “Xuanjie, you have already reached the level of the ancient saints.”
"Since the Middle Ages, you have become the first person to achieve this!"
"Master Lu, Daoist Chonghe, Han Guang, Gao Lan, Guerduo, Tai Li, and even the somewhat legendary Su Wuming are far inferior to you."
The biggest difference lies in the level of skill and understanding!
The realm of Dharma Body has three levels: Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, and Heavenly Immortal. The higher the level, the more difficult and complex the cultivation becomes, trapping countless geniuses and heroes, as well as countless goddesses and saints.
This can be seen from the fact that almost no celestial beings have appeared since the Middle Ages.
Decades ago, before being tricked by Han Guang, Kong Wen Luohan was a renowned figure in the martial arts world, ranking high on the "Heavenly Ranking," and presiding over Shaolin Temple, suppressing this major martial arts sect.
However, decades have passed, times have changed, and in today's Real World, the era has changed, the strategies and plans of the great powers are becoming more and more obvious, many great supernatural beings have made their moves, and all kinds of geniuses and heroes have risen up, their names spread throughout the Real World, and their power shakes the world!
Let alone ordinary immortals, even powerful immortals like Kongwen Luohan, who have touched the threshold of earth immortals, are far inferior in status compared to decades ago.
Only earth immortals can remain high above!
Or like Su Wuming, though a human immortal, he possesses some legendary characteristics.
But legendary characteristics are not so easily acquired.
Above the Celestial Immortals lies the Legendary Realm, a five-star level capable of connecting to all realms of the universe. Every newly born cosmic interface will have a corresponding projection, and a self-generated entity will emerge.
As long as the projection remains, the self will not die!
Of course, this is the normal and mainstream legend route. According to Kongwen Luohan's understanding, Buwa Luohan Xuanjie took a very special and unconventional legend route.
Just like Mr. Lu!
But he was completely different from Su Wuming!
Upon entering the meditation room, Arhat Kongwen carefully examined Cao Ya and suddenly sighed:
"Xuan Jie, you're starting to resemble a legend, aren't you?"
Cao Ya nodded slightly.
“I met Lu Da a few days ago. The feeling he exudes is exactly the same as yours. The ‘self’ is manifest, the ‘true self’ is condensed, and the ‘id’ is rich, but it’s as if the ‘other self’ has been severed. I have to say, your path is quite different from the mainstream legendary route,” sighed Kongwen Luohan.
"There's nothing I can do. The mainstream path isn't suitable for me, nor is it suitable for Lu University," Cao Ya said with a light laugh.
"Without any experience to draw upon, you will have to find your own way and trudge forward in the dark," Kongwen Luohan said in a low voice.
“That doesn’t matter.” Cao Ya smiled gently and said, “If you want to become a legendary Buddha, a Golden Immortal, renowned throughout the world, and hailed as a great being, overlooking the universe, it is extremely difficult no matter which path you take.”
"The orthodox path is not something everyone can achieve."
"In the many years of the Middle Ages, apart from the overlords with special status, even the saints with the highest comprehension were stuck at the peak or perfection of the Heavenly Immortal realm, with no hope of becoming legends."
"After the ancient times, the world underwent a great change. The cultivation after the Dharma Body stage is, without exaggeration, more than a hundred times more difficult than in the ancient, prehistoric, and primordial eras!"
As he spoke, Cao Ya also sighed.
If he could have followed the orthodox path, why would he have chosen the unconventional path of legend?
[The Supreme Being] The Realm is the most special in the universe, serving as its core. Outside the Realm, there are countless interfaces of varying sizes that evolve, all of which can be considered subordinate worlds.
The beings of many worlds are connected in some mysterious way.
The beings in the real world are the "true self," while the beings in the subordinate world are the "other self."
To achieve legendary status, one must condense one's "true self," ensuring that one's original intention remains intact. Then, one must merge with the "other selves" of all realms, projecting them across the heavens, becoming nearly immortal and possessing boundless power, enough to recreate the universe!
Of course, if the "other self" can decipher the secrets of the legend and improve its essence, it can also assimilate and integrate the "true self" and integrate with other "other selves".
The "other self" and the "true self" are inherently one; which is primary and which is secondary has never been definitively determined throughout history.
By focusing solely on that one "I," one can be the first to see through the truth of the world and the mysteries of legend!
This path of integrating the "others" of all heavens and projecting them into all worlds is the most orthodox legendary route in the [Supreme Being] universe.
Those who follow this path will attain legendary status, elevate their essence, and become unique among all the heavens. In the future, when all the realms of the heavens are born, their own "other selves" will be born along with them, and they will naturally become one without even needing to actively merge.
This is also why it is said to be difficult to kill.
Unless we trace back the cause and effect, and reverse the flow of time!
But that requires the power of a six-star creation.
Only by reaching the other side of the seven-star level can one truly and completely grasp the time of all heavens, control the years, reverse cause and effect, tamper with yin and yang, and distort the perceptions of others, all of which can be regarded as trivial, merely a snap of the fingers.
Cao Ya, however, did not follow this orthodox path of legend.
Because his situation is so special.
Due to the system space, Cao Ya, the "Peerless One," received the power and memories of other Cao Yas. With the protection of the system space, there was no risk of cognitive conflict, ensuring his independent existence and unique rationality and thinking.
Logically speaking, under these circumstances, with his rich experience, he should be better able to integrate with the "other self" of the [Supreme Being] universe, elevate his essence, and prove the legend.
However, the truth is far from that!
The other Cao Yas are all himself, the same person, seemingly with a split soul, having traveled to different universes. Their values, their past, and their understanding of the universe are actually the same in essence. It's just that the worlds they traveled to and their experiences were different, which led to various changes in their subsequent life trajectories and the resulting differences.
The "other self" in other dimensions of the [Peerless One] universe is another person!
Even if they have some special connection, their perceptions, values, pasts, and everything else are completely different from childhood to adulthood!
By merging these "other selves," Cao Ya, the "Peerless One," felt that he might go insane!
So he embarked on an unconventional path of legend, strengthening his "id" and refusing to integrate with his "other self".
He focused solely on introspection, rather than seeking answers from the outside.
Like him, Mr. Lu also followed this path.
