For a moment, the two of them felt dizzy, as if the whole world was turned upside down.
The world is like a tree, formlessness is the branch above, and sentient beings and the Tao are the green leaves growing from the branch.
The way of the sword became stronger without any warning, and changed fundamentally. The only thing that could happen was that the tree had grown new branches and leaves.
But he actually succeeded.
The two were speechless for a long time, as if a path to heaven opened up to them.
Perhaps they will never be able to touch the gate of heaven that opens the path to enlightenment in their entire lives, and perhaps they do not have the courage to take the last step. But at least they have seen a path, and at least they can walk on it.
There is still a way forward.
Cold water.
The old tree spirit and Panhu looked at each other in silence. The latter was holding the chess piece, and the word "pawn" on it was disappearing little by little, and finally turned into starlight.
The chess piece was completely off the board and no longer under anyone's control.
"He has attained enlightenment." The old tree spirit spoke with mixed emotions. He looked up at the sky and saw a peerless sword standing there.
Complex emotions such as disbelief, doubt, and surprise entangled the two people's hearts.
Panhu was also silent at this moment.
They had imagined this situation, after all, everything was possible. But when someone really achieved enlightenment through force, it was hard to believe.
After all, this may be the second Li Changsheng.
The old tree spirit restrained his emotions, bowed slightly to the peerless sword that was newly born between heaven and earth, and said:
"Congratulations to fellow Taoists on their enlightenment"
Panhu then bowed and congratulated the birth of a formless being.
Except for the special case of Li Changsheng, most of the Wuxiang actually have no hostile relationship, and there is no life and death. Unless there is a grudge in the previous life, such as himself and his brother, or Dao Zun and Feng Wa.
"The way is achieved through force. Brother Li does not exist in the world, so why is Qiu Wuji in the world?"
The old tree spirit suddenly asked a question, and his perception directly probed into the Supreme Sword held in the hands of the white-robed immortal.
He achieved enlightenment through force, but he is not like Li Changsheng.
Upon hearing this, Panhu also began to explore the Supreme Sword.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he realized that something seemed to be wrong.
If Wuxiang is a branch, then Li Changsheng is another tree. It's just that the way it grows is not heaven and earth, but exists as an individual.
In their imagination, this was the result of achieving the Tao through force, but now it seems obviously not the case.
Or maybe Qiu Wuji is not taking the same path as Li Changsheng?
Panhu guessed, "He also practiced the way of heaven and earth before, but Li Changsheng has been following his own path from the beginning. Although he also achieved the Tao through force, the starting point is different, so the result is naturally different."
"Just like now, he has directly merged with the heaven and earth and lost all self-awareness. He is not like us, who can merge with the heaven and earth and temporarily leave the heaven and earth."
The final destination of the Wuxiang is to merge with the Tao, but the difference is that they have a choice, not a compulsion. And after merging with the Tao, they can also return to reality.
For example, if Panhu was killed by Li Changsheng before, as long as the other party did not act against the law of time, he could still come back at some time in the future.
But Qiu Wuji seemed to have no self.
"The Supreme Sword, the Supreme Merciless."
The old tree spirit observed for a long time, and using his own knowledge of all current laws, he gained a deeper understanding of the Supreme Sword.
He said with a look of sudden realization: "He once said that the ruthlessness of the Supreme Wuji Sword Intent is the scabbard, which is used to protect the user. Now he has probably trained himself into the scabbard and turned himself into a container for the Dao Fruit."
In this way, everything can be explained, and they can understand why Qiu Wuji was able to achieve enlightenment.
Everything has a price, and all living beings have karma.
Li Changsheng's karma had already been overcome during his mortal stage, at the cost of his entire mortal life, which was also the weight of his entire life.
However, Qiu Wuji had been going smoothly from the beginning, but now he has to pay the price.
This is also why it appears between heaven and earth instead of existing independently.
In the end, his own words were proven true. Qiu Wuji is not Li Changsheng. Even if he achieved enlightenment through force, he could not be Li Changsheng.
Li Changsheng's path cannot be replicated, and Wuxiang will eventually have to walk his own path.
Panhu asked: "If there is no self, how can this be considered as enlightenment?"
"Well, it has become a dead thing, but the Tao is still there." The old tree spirit nodded, "Practice is not for the sake of living, but for existence itself. Qiu Wuji may be dead, but the Supreme Sword will be immortal."
Panhu nodded in agreement. From the perspective of the Great Dao, Qiu Wuji was truly alive at this moment.
The rest are planktonic.
Suddenly the old tree spirit thought of something, frowned, and looked quite ugly.
"One Wuxiang is equal to an entire Immortal Palace. Brother Li, do you think the Heavenly Dao is not strong enough?"
On the new land in the vast ocean, green grass and trees are growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. A fairy in white stands on a high mountain, overlooking the new continent.
"The Supreme Sword, its purpose is supreme, it cuts through everything in the world."
Li Yi raised the sword high, with the blade facing the setting sun at an angle. A cold light flashed by like a stream of light, and suddenly it seemed that he could cut off the setting sun with just a light swing.
This is not an illusion, this sword can really cut everything, in the true sense. All things in the world attack each other, whether it is the destruction of matter or the cancellation of energy, which is essentially a kind of wear and tear of existence.
The reason why many offensive methods and magic weapons are powerful is that they can concentrate their strength on one point, breaking that one point and destroying the entire thing.
The Supreme Sword, on the other hand, denies wear and tear; it is immortal in itself and will not be offset by external objects.
This is the way to destroy all things.
And me?
Li Yi suddenly had a thought: if it were him, would he also be killed?
