Although both Cao Ya and Mr. Lu have chosen unconventional paths to legend, their reasons for doing so are quite different.
Mr. Lu did this to remember his deceased wife, unwilling to diminish his longing for her, and also unwilling to experience the life of "others" or understand their love, hate, and grudges.
Those who are most passionate are also most skilled with the sword!
"One Heart Sword" - Master Lu!
Like Su Wuming, the "Divine Sword from Beyond the Heavens," who, with the help of the divine weapon Haotian Mirror, had already communicated with some "other selves" in the myriad worlds several steps ahead of time when he was in the Outer Realm. He gradually experienced the integration and evolution of his life essence. After attaining the Dharma Body, he was only at the level of a Human Immortal, but he already possessed some of the legendary characteristics!
Moving through the space is as simple as eating and drinking.
Because Cao Ya was stationed in the Real World, he directly killed Guldo, who had broken through to the Earth Immortal realm. The nascent storm was swept away, and the world returned to peace and tranquility.
Therefore, this time, Su Wuming did not need to leave seclusion early to fight against evil forces, which would have resulted in his Dharma body not being fully perfected and thus leaving a flaw.
In other words, his path to enlightenment is more complete and has fewer limitations.
Correspondingly, Su Wuming's strength has become increasingly formidable!
His journey through the world of film and the path to immortality has taken longer, and its depth has only grown stronger.
In the current "Heavenly Ranking", Cao Ya firmly holds the top spot, which is unshakeable, while Mr. Lu is second, and his position is also very secure.
Below the two of them, other Earth Immortals might not be able to suppress Su Wuming, who was at the Human Immortal realm.
As a result, the prestige of the Sword Washing Pavilion has become much stronger than before.
However, Su Wuming was single-mindedly focused on sword cultivation. Although he had some sense of right and wrong and a bottom line, his desire for fame and fortune and his vanity were truly weak.
Although not all the swordsmen of the Sword Washing Pavilion are as pure as him, they do possess some of Su Wuming's qualities.
Apart from the sword, there is nothing else!
The goal is to break through all laws with a single sword strike!
Even if the Sword Washing Pavilion becomes powerful, it will not pose any threat.
Moreover, the Sword Washing Pavilion belongs to one of the major righteous sects in the world! It is one of the pillars of the righteous path!
Besides, Cao Ya had absolutely no interest in these things, such as fame, fortune, and power.
Otherwise, with his strength, he would have unified the world and ascended the throne long ago.
What Cao Ya cared about was his own cultivation level and whether his Daoist practice could improve!
As Meng Qi grows, the great calamity of the [Peerless One] universe draws ever closer.
When the legend returns, when creation descends, and when even the other shore returns, what difference will there be between him, a celestial being, and an ant?
Larger ants?
Ha, how ridiculous!
This sense of crisis and urgency weighed heavily on Cao Ya, and many times, he even felt suffocated, as if he couldn't breathe properly.
Fortunately, there are so many of me. They become stronger, and I become stronger too...
Several versions of myself at the four-star level have appeared so far, including myself, as well as versions from other universes such as [Yang Shen], [Shen Mu], and [Global Martial Arts]...
Five-star...legendary...
Before Meng Qi fully matures, I must at least break through to the five-star level!
Cao Ya pondered inwardly, his heart churning, but his face remained calm and composed, revealing no trace of his inner turmoil.
Five-star status is legendary in the [Peerless One] universe.
Meng Qi is a special figure with significant and far-reaching implications. When he becomes a legend, it will be the most prominent sign that the slumbering legendary beings of the heavens, the great masters of creation, and the beings of the other shore who are slumbering in chaos will all be completely awakened and gradually return.
In such a great era, even celestial beings were of little use; legend had it that they were the bare minimum requirement.
In fact, Cao Ya's desire is for a six-star destiny!
As for the other side of the Seven Stars, Cao Ya dared not think that far ahead!
After all, he didn't want to take on anyone's karma.
Meng Qi's rapid rise to power is a consequence he must bear, one that is greater than the sky and thicker than the earth.
Of course, this cannot be considered a bad thing for Meng Qi. After all, bearing the burden of cause and effect allows him to rise at an astonishing speed. Legends, destiny, and even the other shore are not things that can stop Meng Qi.
Unable to reach the other shore, Meng Qi, as the Demon Buddha "Other Self," is destined to die.
As for the path to enlightenment beyond the other shore, Meng Qi couldn't possibly think that far ahead.
Throughout history, how many people have dared to aspire to attain enlightenment?
Even among the seven-star level beings on the other shore, only a handful are qualified to attain the Dao Fruit.
Therefore, the karmic burden he carried was the heaviest among all the heavens, profoundly affecting his path to enlightenment. But for Meng Qi, this was no big deal at all!
As long as we can reach the other shore!
Countless legendary figures and those with extraordinary abilities pursued the other shore throughout their lives!
However, Meng Qi may have some awareness or speculation about the deepest secrets of these [Supreme Being] universes, but he certainly has not yet fully understood them or reached the level of complete insight.
After all, Meng Qi's cultivation level was too low!
If he doesn't become a legend, Meng Qi isn't qualified to know everything!
I'm not really qualified...
Cao Ya sighed inwardly, realizing that in such a vast universe, knowing more is often not a good thing.
Fortunately, his strength improved by leaps and bounds, reaching the level of a Celestial Immortal, making him the number one in the world!
Otherwise, he might have died a violent death on the road at some point, with no one even to collect his body.
The moment of great change that will mark Meng Qi's growth is undoubtedly drawing ever closer...
By then, even a celestial being's cultivation level wouldn't be enough...
Cao Ya frowned slightly, his face showing worry.
To achieve legendary status, to understand one's "true self," to see through one's "original self," and to explore everything about oneself—this unconventional path to legend has been trodden by far too few people throughout history, with almost no experience to draw upon. He occasionally discussed it with Master Lu, but after only a few words, the two would hit a roadblock and could only exchange wry smiles.
Divine weapons like the Haotian Mirror are of no help to them.
There must be peerless divine weapons of the Other Shore level, but neither of them has the great opportunity to control such weapons.
Besides, if that opportunity really came, Cao Ya would be hesitant and avoid it like the plague.
Cao Ya knew that among those who controlled peerless divine weapons, Meng Qi was one, wielding the Overlord Blade; Guldo was another, wielding the Heavenly Punishment Axe; Gao Lan was yet another, wielding the Human Emperor Sword; and there were others, such as the Demon Buddha.
These peerless weapons either carry immense hatred and require the help of others for revenge, or they bear the expectations of their former masters, hoping that their new masters will achieve their grand goals, or they are simply pawns.
Regardless of the reason, Cao Ya was clearly unwilling to accept that cause and effect.
The karmic connections in this world are extremely profound. If one is not careful, one will suffer eternal damnation, and one's own existence will be replaced by someone else.
The thought of that outcome sent chills down Cao Ya's spine.
I'm destined to never have a peerless divine weapon...
Hey, no need to think so much. I'll just walk my own path. As long as I stay true to myself and understand my true self, I believe that hard work pays off, and I will surely achieve my legendary status one day...
Cao Ya took a deep breath, clearing her mind and her eyes becoming clear.
