Chapter 662: The Four Realms of the Hedao
"Daoyou, what level of power can your sword of counterattack rebound at most?" Li Fan's face changed slightly as he felt the rebound attack almost doubled. He waved his hand to suppress the water sword, then looked at Shuo Feng and asked.
Shuo Feng also seemed to be recalling the self-protection of the wooden sword just now. After a long time, he came back to his senses.
"The sword of counterattack..." He shook his head. "I think it's the sword of stopping war, the sword of not fighting."
Without further explanation, Shuo Feng said, "With the power of an ordinary Nascent Soul, one can fight back without any pressure. If a Spiritualization Realm attacks with all its strength, it will be a bit of a stretch. With the He Dao Realm and above..."
"Fellow Daoist, you are only at the Foundation Establishment stage now, but you can achieve such an astonishing level. If you are promoted to the Spiritual Transformation stage, won't you be able to fight against the He Dao?" Li Fan looked very shocked.
"It's not that simple. There is a huge difference between the He Dao and the He Dao. The spirit of heaven and earth is divided into..."
Li Fan's heart moved, and he was about to concentrate on listening, but he saw Shuo Feng just opening and closing his mouth, but no sound came out.
Shuo Feng quickly realized this and simply kept silent.
Li Fan seemed to be thinking about something, but he tactfully did not ask any further questions.
"In short, although I have extraordinary powers, I still have a long way to go if I want to defeat my mother." Shuo Feng said with a wry smile.
"Besides, although the foundation of Heaven's Wonder is strong, it also has its own disadvantages. For example, if you want to improve your realm, it is much more difficult and slow than ordinary cultivators. Even if you have enough resources and the blessing of new methods, it is still like this."
This was the first time Li Fan had heard of this, so he immediately asked, "Why is this happening?"
Shuo Feng also answered directly and straightforwardly: "The wonder of heaven is actually the law of heaven. If you build your foundation with the wonder of heaven, it will be difficult to accommodate anything else."
"Ordinary cultivators need to learn the laws of heaven and earth, seize the essence of heaven and earth, extract the marrow of heaven and earth, and offer sacrifices to the souls of heaven and earth to advance step by step. But it is not the case for the cultivators of heaven's wonders. They use heaven's wonders as the law, heaven's wonders as the cave, heaven's wonders as the changes of heaven and earth, and heaven's wonders as the souls of heaven and earth."
"As long as you continue to comprehend the wonders of your own nature to the utmost, you will be able to move forward unimpeded and reach the state of harmony with the Tao."
Upon hearing this, Li Fan couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this a good thing? Why do you say that practicing will be more difficult?"
Shuo Feng asked back: "Fellow Daoist, don't you think that compared to forcibly taking external objects, this method of practicing relying only on one's own understanding, which one's practice speed is faster?"
"Of course..." Li Fan stopped talking suddenly, as if he had thought of something.
"Brother Shuo, what you mean is that after building the foundation with Tian Zhi Qi, it is more like practicing with ancient methods?" Li Fan inadvertently changed the address and asked hurriedly.
"To be precise, I practiced with ancient methods while wearing shackles." Shuo Feng sighed. "This is where there are pros and cons. But I don't regret it. Although the road is more bumpy, the limit is higher!"
As if thinking of something, Li Fan suddenly asked: "If we use the wonder of heaven to achieve harmony with the Tao, then the next step is to go against the principle of [the wonder of heaven]?"
Shuo Feng's eyes flashed with admiration: "That's right! What's so difficult about the realm of immortality? The principles of heaven and earth are illusory and abstract concepts that are difficult for ordinary people to see. How easy is it to reverse it?"
"Search for the principles of heaven and earth, become familiar with the principles of heaven and earth, control the principles of heaven and earth, and reverse the principles of heaven and earth..."
"All of these must be accomplished in the Hedao realm. Although Hedao cultivators have a long lifespan, every step forward requires an extremely difficult price to pay. Throughout history, how many brilliant people have fallen before the last step?"
"And building a foundation with the wonder of heaven means directly skipping the first step. In the process of practicing since building the foundation, you are already practicing the second and third steps. This is equivalent to saving almost half of the effort."
Shuo Feng tried his best to explain to Li Fan in language that was easy to understand and hear.
Li Fan also had a vague understanding.
"Searching, familiarity, control, and reversal may correspond to the corresponding realms in the Hedao."
Li Fan suddenly remembered that when Ji Hongdao was facing Senior Sister Zhao, he once said, "After you have obtained the Heavenly Theorem, you should not get involved in disputes over worldly affairs."
"The theorem means that you have reversed the principles of heaven and earth, and eventually replaced them and transformed yourself into a part of heaven and earth. This is truly entering the realm of immortality."
"Before that, the Hedao monks still have four steps to take."
Shuo Feng saw Li Fan lost in thought for a moment, and could not help but admonish him: "What I said today is just to thank you for your advice. Daoist friend, please do not be too ambitious and lose your mind. If you do so, I will be doing bad things with good intentions."
Li Fan came to his senses at this time. He smiled and replied, "Brother Shuo, you worry too much. I am not an ungrateful person. I just used to think that immortality and cultivators like me are separated by only a few realms. I may not be unable to reach it."
"Now it seems that there are actually several gaps between us, each of which is enough to make people despair."
"We have to give people hope, right?" Shuo Feng nodded in agreement, and then said something out of the blue.
"By the way, I still don't know your name. Judging from your character and talent, you should not be an unknown person." Shuo Feng looked at Li Fan and asked curiously.
Li Fan cupped his hands and said, "I am Li Fan!"
Shuo Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Li Fan carefully in an instant.
"It's just the same name! There have been many misunderstandings about us in the past!" Li Fan explained.
Shuo Feng nodded slowly.
"I'm good at observing qi. When I passed by here, I found that there seemed to be something strange about this place, so I came down to investigate. Who knew that before I could find any result, I was nearly killed by a fellow Taoist." Li Fan took the initiative to explain the cause and effect.
"Now that I think about it, I also feel that something is wrong around here." Shuo Feng suddenly realized and looked towards a place not far away.
As far as the eye can see, it is the direction where the stone statue of Han Yi is.
It seemed that he did not notice the existence of the stone statue, but simply discovered the abnormality there based on instinct.
“Interesting…”
"Fellow Daoist, why don't you come with me to find out what's going on?" Li Fan suggested.
"That's exactly what I meant." Shuo Feng was obviously a man who was not afraid of anything, and he agreed immediately.
The two were about to go, when at this moment, the sky suddenly turned pink.
Shuo Feng's expression suddenly changed.
Scarlet snowflakes slowly fall.
A beautiful female voice suddenly sounded: "Feng'er, you've been away from home for a long time. It's time to come back."
Shuo Feng's face froze slightly.
However, he did not dare to go against his mother's will and just looked apologetic towards Li Fan.
"Understood, Mother," he responded.
Holding a snowflake, the crimson color dissolved in Shuo Feng's palm.
After a moment, his figure became blurred.
Slowly disappeared into the air.
Suddenly, a communication talisman fell from the sky and flew towards Li Fan.
"Brother Li, if you need help in the future, please feel free to contact me."
Shuo Feng's voice could be heard faintly.
