Chapter 352: Heavenly Man's Death Sutra

Gu Qingyuan watched all this with a cheerful look. Seeking the truth is a process. To cultivate the true meaning and understand the principles of heaven and earth, one will develop supernatural powers. Supernatural powers are not the result, but truth is. To understand the principles of everything is the great way, and those skills and techniques are by-products of the truth-seeking process. When one understands the principles and knows the truth, supernatural powers will naturally emerge.

He used cats and mice as vehicles to create the world, which was also an exploration and integration of himself. Gu Qingyuan used magic power to knock on logic and supernatural powers to distort reality, so that the cat and mouse could create the world with two great powers. Not only did they materialize fantasies and create things with magic power, they also had the ability to transform heaven and earth and evolve the laws of nature. There were more than tens of millions of changes involved.

After the cat and mouse created the world, they gradually returned to heaven and earth. Their great power turned into clear and turbid air to help stabilize the new world. The cat and mouse were just the outer skin, while inside were the two energies of creation that pried open the rules and created a new world. They were the same whether they were called sheep, bear, or monkey.

In Gu Qingyuan's eyes, the cat and the mouse were still chasing each other, like two auras constantly entangled, but they had been sublimated into another form of life. Without magical powers or cultivation, they could not be observed. As long as there was no external interference, their immortal and eternal essence would not be broken.

"Whatever you think will come true. Everything is based on your thoughts. Everything is based on your mind."

Gu Qingyuan murmured. Of course, he had not reached that level, but he was also heading towards that path.

The fundamental way is to have one mind and one thought. All things obey. If you think, you will get the result. If you think, you will succeed. It is the way to discover the 'true self'. In the Dharma, in all things, you know yourself and find the real self. Everything is in the mind. I have perceived the world, so the world exists.

It's not the flag that's moving, nor the wind that's moving, it's me that's moving, it's my heart that's moving.

By then, the heaven and the earth will be with me. Gu Qingyuan only needs to think about it, and the world will be close to me, and the Tao will be close to me. All things in the world will operate according to his senses under the influence of mysterious forces.

It’s just that Gu Qingyuan is still too far away from that realm, and even other selves have never been involved in this realm. Otherwise, there would be no other selves in other world lines, but all things return to the origin, there is only one self, and other selves do not exist.

Now it depends on which of me will take a step forward, restrain myself, or open up new horizons and go a step further. In this regard, each of me is both a fellow Taoist and a person who fights for the Tao. I have been dealing with myself for a long time, and I would rather be myself.

"Fighting with the sky is endless fun, fighting with the earth is endless fun, fighting with me is also endless fun!"

Gu Qingyuan couldn't help but sigh. He could feel himself on other paths. The other selves were also observing everything. They didn't fight, but acted without action, just to verify each other and seek the ultimate transcendence of all things.

The newly opened world has gradually stabilized. He took out an object from his arms and said, "How is it? Do you think my new world is pleasing to your eyes?"

It was a floating insect like a salamander, and it was also the consciousness transformed by Gu Chen's strange heart. Now it was taken out by Gu Qingyuan, who said in a muffled voice: "The mystery of the immortal is indeed extraordinary. In my memory, few people have such actions."

It is rare, not non-existent. This explains some of the reasons.

Gu Qingyuan did not think it was strange, and took out two more objects in his hand, one was sword energy, and the other was pure yang intention: "This object originally belonged to Pure Yang Sword Master, and now I give it to you, it can be regarded as returning it to its original owner."

But the little bug declined politely, "Although this world was created by the Pure Yang Sword Master, and the two objects are his legacy, I am just a shadow of him, and I got some of his memories by chance, not him, so I don't want them."

"Okay." Gu Qingyuan nodded, but he didn't need such external objects. He raised his hand and threw it into the new world. The sword energy turned into a magnificent sword path, which was imprinted into the heaven and earth. From then on, any living being who got its favor could become a transparent sword body. The pure yang true meaning was even more amazing. It was unique and evolved infinitely, adding a Yang God Avenue to this new world.

“If that’s the case, the remains of Master Chunyang Sword have turned into heaven and earth, and it’s time for him to rest in peace.” Xiao Chong sighed.

"You were originally a remnant of pure yang, leaving behind a lonely shadow that illuminated the heaven and earth, and then you developed consciousness and sought your self. Why do you need to separate yourself from him so clearly?" Gu Qingyuan said with a smile.

"Others may not know, but can't Immortal Gu see my background?"

The little salamander rolled over as it spoke, shedding its skin and flesh. As soon as the gray flesh was separated from it, it exploded and turned into a torn piece of paper.

A few words can be vaguely seen on it: "Do not ascend to the sky, or a celestial being will descend from the sky to transform your corpse into a corpse. Do not bury the body in the ground, or strange things will happen in the burial ground. Do not sink into the water, or you will become a ghost if you do." It seems like a torn corner of some classic book.

The insect's consciousness turned into a point of spiritual light, floating in the air: "The Pure Yang Sword Master has been wandering here since he left the universe. He knows that his time is short, so he sits down and dies, seeking a second life. Unexpectedly, a strong wind blew in the void, bringing the true scripture. His Pure Yang remains are exactly in line with the death of a god, and the immortality contained in it is entangled with this "Heavenly Death Sutra", and thus evolved into a world."

"I was originally a bookworm on the pages of the Heavenly Man's Death Scripture. Luckily, I was protected by the legacy and emerged from the shadow of the Pure Yang Sword Master's legacy. This is the karma I owe him, so how can I accept his legacy?"

Gu Qingyuan nodded. He was of course aware of the bookworm's background. Back then, he had entangled a group of weirdos and incorporated them into Gu Chen's body. He accidentally discovered that the mindless weirdo had developed spiritual wisdom, which meant that something was different. After a conversation, he continued to piece together the truth and found two kinds of relics, which allowed him to see the inside story.

The Pure Yang Sword Master was not originally from this world, but came from a great world. The so-called great world was an infinitely vast place, much larger than the world that Gu Qingyuan had experienced along the way.

It may be a nesting doll world where the principles are stable, tight and strict, and where one can study in moderation and reach the highest level, and constantly ascend to the upper realms. Or it may be a world where all realms are interdependent, forming a vast world community.

The worlds that Gu Qingyuan had experienced were all small worlds, which were like ponds, while the big world was a place of rivers, lakes and seas.

Chunyang Sword Master came here from the universe and had not much time left. He abandoned his physical body and reincarnated his spirit. However, by chance, because of the scripture, he created a world where immortality and strange immortals and gods coexisted.

Gu Qingyuan had this idea only after seeing that Yan Jing was pure yang and had no roots or bottom, which was incompatible with the current situation. As for Murong Changge, his sword skills were amazing. His own sword intent could even trigger the sword intent left by the Pure Yang Sword Master. He was truly a god-like person.

He looked at the fragment of "The Heavenly Man's Way to Deliver Death" and naturally knew what the bookworm meant. He stretched out his hand to grab it, and with two fingers pinching it, the fragment silently turned into a point of spiritual light, which was a signpost of the universe. It was originally set up by Chunyang Sword Master to prevent him from getting lost in the void, and was kept by the bookworm.

"Now that you have shed the fragment of the scripture and lost your physical body, you are left with nothing to rely on. It just so happens that a new world is about to be formed, and the Dao has not yet been established. It is better for you to reincarnate in this world to help stabilize the heaven and earth, complete your merits, and perhaps achieve the great cause of a great saint who is in harmony with the Dao."

He spoke to the salamander bookworm that had no body and whose spirituality was slowly draining away.
