Chapter 1190: Chapter 1188: Everlasting Prosperity to the Heavenly Immortals (Grand Finale) 08-08
Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators
Dream-Making Expert
“So the story has finally reached its end.”
In the void, streaks of figures appeared.
There was Yuyao, there was Gushe, there was Wan Teng, there was Fang Yun…
Those who had once accompanied Lin Qi all the way here appeared one after another.
Their gazes passed through Lin Qi and landed upon that azure star.
The former Supremes who had once dominated and ruled the Myriad Realms for billions of years had finally lost Their Supreme Authority.
From then on, They had no means to continue dominating this newborn world.
So it was.
“No.”
“The new story has only just begun.”
Lin Qi smiled, gazing up at the dark firmament.
Dream Bubble Shadow, the new world that had once been destined in the Supremes’ schemes to be Refined from the False into the True, to contain the Myriad Realms.
After the birth of Earth, it had not continued to be Refined from the False into the True and evolve toward a brand-new real world.
The birth of the new world had stopped.
After that azure star was completely Refined from the False into the True.
Crossing the boundary of the Sun.
In the vast Cosmos even further beyond.
The Star River was resplendent, with countless stars.
Yet they remained in a state of half-real, half-false.
The endless, inexhaustible matter from the Myriad Realms after the Great Destruction had not completely solidified.
Into the new material world formed after Dream Bubble Shadow was Refined from the False into the True.
On the contrary.
This old matter from the Myriad Realms was transforming into a seemingly endless source of motive force.
Pushing the Cosmos of Dream Bubble Shadow — which, aside from the galaxy containing that azure star, still remained half-real and half-false — to ceaselessly expand, ceaselessly swell.
To extend the boundary of the entire Cosmos infinitely deeper into the dark Void of Voids.
The New World that Dream Bubble Shadow had become now turned false yet real.
Because only thus.
Could this newborn Cosmos of Dream Bubble Shadow expand infinitely without end.
Until it touched upon another true and unerring Myriad Realms.
That would be a matter for much later.
But it was likewise a matter that was just around the corner.
“And what we must do next.”
“Is, within this half-real, half-false world.”
“To thoroughly Refine the False into the True, break free of everything, and step into that realm truly Above the Supreme.”
Lin Qi spoke leisurely.
Above the dark firmament, it suddenly seemed as though twenty-six faint stars were responding to his words.
Yuyao cried out in joyful shock.
“It’s Master.”
“Could Master and the others still be alive?”
Lin Qi nodded, then shook his head.
“To be precise, they are now in a state of doing subtraction to seek emptiness, truly existing in a state of nothingness.”
“And this is also the path that must be walked to reach Above the Supreme.”
“From life to death, from existence to nothingness.”
“Then Born Toward Death, creating something from nothing.”
“This is the realm Above the Supreme that the Supremes have always pursued.”
“But those Supremes lacked the courage to cast everything aside, so they could only ceaselessly repeat their former cultivation.”
“Relying on the hope that through the sublimation of heaven, earth, and Cosmos, they could complete their own sublimation.”
“And this is also the reason they ultimately failed.”
“Because they never truly found the road to Above the Supreme.”
“Or rather, they knew where the road lay.”
“But this road, they dared not walk.”
“Fortunately, we Heavenly Immortals did not shrink back.”
“Though perhaps in the end they may not necessarily succeed.”
“But right now, they are indeed walking the most correct path.”
“And this is also the path that you and I, and all beings unwilling to fall into the Red Dust of the mundane world.”
“Must walk.”
“Fellow Daoists, the road ahead is now in sight. Do not learn from those Supremes who cling to the so-called eternity of this tiny corner.”
As Lin Qi spoke, a glimmer of resolve flickered in his eyes.
He had indeed wavered once.
Thought of becoming the Dao Ancestor, keeping company with the Supremes.
No longer pursuing that road destined to be illusory and ethereal.
If that were the case.
He would not need to worry about failure, not need to worry about the road being cut off.
He could, like Them, in this Cosmos made even greater after containing the Myriad Realms.
Lie high in the Ninth Heaven, holding dominion over the world for billions upon billions of years.
But what meaning was there in that.
If one did not pursue a higher road, did not continue that road which had already been severed.
Then no matter how eternal and undying, no matter how many billions of years one held dominion.
It was merely repeating the day he attained Supremacy billions upon billions of times over.
And the true reason Lin Qi made up his mind not to become a Supreme, but to continue pursuing the road ahead.
Came from those Heavenly Immortals who one after another went to their deaths with composure.
It was also then.
That Lin Qi realized the Heavenly Immortals might have already found the road to Above the Supreme long ago.
After all, they who needed Return to Heaven and Earth to attain Heavenly Immortal.
How could they fail to deduce that for the Heavenly Immortal path to advance further and perceive existence and nothingness.
What was needed was perhaps merely a further step of returning to the Cosmos.
Returning everything they had obtained from the material world back to this material world.
Under those conditions, they could naturally transcend all material bonds of the Myriad Realms and step into the realm of true nothingness.
“Perhaps they have truly already stopped, waiting for the Myriad Beings for far too long.”
“Yet the Supremes still vainly attempt to seek the true self, to cultivate the Great Dao, from the Refining of the False into the True of Dream Bubble Shadow.”
“But you and I should know, cultivation is a matter of oneself.”
“How can it be entrusted to external things?”
“The true Refining of the False into the True has always had only one path: to refine away the false self and seek the true self.”
“Only thus.”
“Can one truly perceive all that is real and illusory, and tread through all existence and nothingness.”
Lin Qi sat cross-legged within the half-real, half-false Cosmos, speaking with impassioned voice, transmitting the Dao to the Cosmos.
Yuyao, Gushe, and the others half-understood.
But Lin Qi only smiled lightly, and suddenly pointed a finger.
In the next instant.
The dark Void flickered, reflecting a scene.
It was what was happening upon the azure star.
A youth in a school uniform, carrying a backpack, ran joyfully into a rental bookstore.
Loudly asking the bookstore owner.
“Boss.”
“Has the final volume of Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators arrived?”
The bookstore owner was stunned for a moment, then after a while uncertainly dug out a book from the newly arrived stock.
“This should be the book you mean.”
“Everlasting Prosperity to the Heavenly Immortals? Huh, did the name change?”
The youth flipped through the book in surprise.
After confirming it was indeed the novel he had been following all along.
He happily paid and carried the book out of the store.
The next second.
A youthful, radiant girl suddenly jumped out, blocking the youth’s path, snatching the book from his arms, and said smugly.
“Caught you.”
“Hmph, reading these trashy web novels again.”
“Confiscated!”
“No!”
The youth wailed. “Good Qingxue, it’s about to reach the grand finale. Just let me finish it, I’m begging you.”
“Then, it depends on your performance.”
The girl made a face and turned to run. “Come chase me, if you catch me, I’ll give it back!”
“Give it back!”
…
The youth and girl ran, their features so clear.
In the void, Yuyao and the others suddenly seemed lost in thought.
But Lin Qi only smiled without a word, and once again gazed at the dark firmament, then closed his eyes.
The truly endless cultivation had begun.
