Immortal Dao is dead, I am the mastermind behind it all.

The sea of ​​consciousness.

Amidst the vast expanse of stars, Shen Moyan is soaring at high speed.

Shen Moyan knew this as soon as he entered this space of the Sea of ​​Destiny.

The birth of [Starry Sky Enlightenment Fate] was due to a confluence of favorable timing, location, and human factors. Shen Moyan's reversal of the formation was merely a consequence of this.

The helping hand Zheng Quan gave him before his death was also crucial.

There are also many unpredictable variables hidden in the shadows.

Even if he could do it all over again, he wasn't confident he could recreate another Siming.

Therefore, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If things go smoothly, he might even achieve a complete transformation.

"The secret of seeing Xi Yi is hidden in the last section of the second chapter of the 'Records of Mountains and Seas'."

Shen Moyan was certain, 100% certain.

Because of the existence of the Origin Preaching Monument, he cannot fly too high, otherwise he will be struck by lightning.

Now that the altitude of the mountain and sea is limited, he naturally cannot reach the colorless and soundless nine heavens like [Qingming].

But the Sea of ​​Consciousness of the Fate is different!

This place is almost identical to the outside world, and the sky is even more expansive!

He wanted to know what the Dao looked like in Qingming's eyes at that time.

Why would He say something like, "The truth is so cruel"?

Shen Moyan reviewed the original text of "The Records of the Destiny of Mountains and Seas" in his mind.

"Before meeting Xi Yi, Qing Ming had already made four breakthroughs based on his Feather Transformation Robe."

Shen Moyan suddenly remembered the "Sutra of Detachment from All Forms".

There is no self, no other, no sentient being, and no life span.

"That's it! The key to transforming Afan into Qingming was breaking free from all appearances!"

Shen Moyan suddenly realized.

It turns out that the ultimate method to transcend the mortal realm and attain enlightenment has always been in his own hands.

"This 'Sutra on Detachment from All Forms' was tailor-made for me by the Origin Preaching Stele..."

Having pondered this, Shen Moyan once again felt a sense of awe towards the Origin Preaching Stele.

Such a divine object is truly extraordinary.

As Shen Moyan flew higher and higher, the dazzling starry sky of the [Starry Sky Enlightenment Fate Master] in his sea of ​​consciousness was gradually left behind.

Until all is silent, and time and space cease to exist.

Time passed slowly, but Shen Moyan remained resolute and determined, never looking back.

In the end, all around was nothingness and deathly silence.

It is colorless and soundless.

Shen Moyan finally arrived at the mythical Nine Heavens, but only within the mind of the God of Fate.

"Alright, let me see what exactly this 'Xi Yi' that Qingming Siming has seen in the past is."

Shen Moyan's consciousness was suspended in the void, his body and mind immersed in the ultimate mystery of the "Sutra of Detachment from All Forms".

What the eyes see, what the ears hear, what the nose smells, what the tongue tastes, what the body feels, what the mind thinks...

All forms and appearances are illusory.

Like dew or lightning, he peeled away, saw through, and let go of them one by one.

His sense of "self" dissipates within it. Without self, without others, without sentient beings, without life span, past attachments, fears, calculations, and even the perception of the existence of "Shen Moyan" all vanish like morning dew.

His consciousness was no longer a specific point, but transformed into a boundless mirror.

It reflects everything, yet leaves nothing behind.

There is no longer "Shen Moyan", no longer "cultivator", and there is no longer even a distinction between "existence" and "non-existence".

Only the most primordial consciousness, like a clear mirror wiped clean of all dust, reflects the absolute "emptiness" and "nothingness".

In this ultimate "nothingness", a touch of "Xi Yi" quietly appears.

It is neither light nor darkness, neither existence nor non-existence, neither movement nor stillness.

It is invisible, inaudible, and unattainable.

It is a mixture of "Yi", "hope", and "Wei".

It is both the ultimate rule governing the operation of heaven and earth and the source and destination of all existence.

In this realm, Shen Moyan's consciousness resonated subtly with the Dao of "Xi Yi".

In an instant, all past confusion about cultivation, formations, and the world vanished like ice melting away.

The problem of precisely locating the final spatial coordinates of the interstate teleportation array, which had troubled him for so long, was also solved.

The core secret of the teleportation array lies not in how complex the array patterns are, but in how to make the spatial fluctuations of the array match the stillness of the "Xi Yi" Dao.

"Movement brings change, and change brings problems."

"Only through profound stillness and emptiness can one respond to the ten directions and reach every corner of the earth."

A moment of enlightenment flowed through my heart.

Shen Moyan suddenly understood.

"So this is Xi Yi."

He smiled.

Xi Yi means the ultimate "tiny".

It is so small that it is invisible and formless, yet it is the ultimate sound, so silent that it surpasses all other sounds.

It is the ultimate in "precision", so subtle that it is indivisible.

This is [Xi Yi].

—The manifestation of the Dao, the beginning of heaven and earth, the mother of all things.

Shen Moyan neither saw nor understood it.

Rather, it was because his consciousness, after completely "detaching from all forms," ​​merged into this "peaceful and detached" state.

It can also be called...

"To be in harmony with the Tao."

Shen Moyan gave it another name.

"No wonder Xi Yi was able to establish his foundation in the Heavenly Dao, comparable to the ancient immortal path."

Although it is a brief union, at this moment...

He is the Tao, and the Tao is him.

"My Great Way is the Great Way of Eternal Life."

"They are immortal and indestructible, invincible for all eternity."

The three steps of transcending the mortal realm are: forming the Dharma body, which is the initial condensation of one's own magical power; transforming into a feather robe, which is to strengthen one's Dao heart, purify magical power, and manifest external protection.

Seeing Xi Yi means to fully understand the origin of one's own path and to realize that one's path originates from the same source as the Dao.

Only then can one truly open the Purple Palace, which contains the universe, stores all things, and seize the laws.

Within this empty sea of ​​consciousness, all things in heaven and earth, rules and laws, and even the causal relationships of one's own past and future exist.

In Shen Moyan's eyes, everything was as clear as lines on the palm of his hand, presented in the mirror of the unknown.

At this moment, the essence of the Great Dao of Immortality transformed into a speck of stardust, flowing in Shen Moyan's palm.

In the palm of his hand, there was a unique Daoist aura, its essence golden, immortal, and indestructible.

"This is my own Daoist essence."

Now, Shen Moyan can sense the so-called "Daoist charm" even without the Heavenly Demon Eye.

"It's truly magnificent."

Shen Moyan stared at this Daoist charm and saw something else in it.

Those were one dotted line after another.

Three of them were particularly glaring, almost solidifying into reality.

A path, as radiant as the sun, points towards the Azure Sun Sword Sect.

A path, as black as an abyss, points towards the Heavenly Demon.

A dazzling starlight pointed towards this Fate Master.

"A causal relationship?"

Shen Moyan was overjoyed.

This was a level that only Guicang Zhenjun could reach, but unexpectedly he achieved it two realms ahead of schedule.

Shen Moyan turned around for the first time, gazing at the figure outlined by the glittering stars in the distant void.

"Is this a gift from you?"

The distant [Starry Sky Enlightenment Master] remained silent, offering no response.

Thank you.

Shen Moyan replied with thanks.

Thinking to himself, this newborn Fate Master is truly naive.

No, that's not right.

Suddenly, Shen Moyan had a flash of inspiration and thought about it carefully.

He may not have been so merciful as to give himself this opportunity.

Rather, it is about settling the cause and effect.

After Shen Moyan refused His invitation, He fell silent.

Without answering himself, he allowed Shen Moyan to wander freely in his sea of ​​consciousness; this attitude was as if to say:

What kind of class do you have that you're worthy of having any karmic entanglement with me?

It's just a small opportunity; take it.
