Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1177: Chapter 577: Probing the Life Profound Mystery

Life.

This is an extremely vast concept, and also one of the essential mysteries of the Creation Dao.

It may not sound as mysterious as causality or all forms, but in reality, comprehending the mysteries of life is no less difficult than understanding causality or all forms. In the Creation Dao, the five fundamental mysteries are almost equally profound.

Birth is a part of life.

Living is also a part of life.

Even death is a part of life.

In Chen Mu’s line of sight, he saw not only the powerful martial artists, but also the ordinary people, the common folk of the world.

He saw in the simple and run-down houses, newborns were crying as they came into the world, and poor tenant farmers in patched and shabby clothes were filled with joy, celebrating ecstatically.

He also saw in ancient, fragrant, elegant pavilions, an old man covered by a brocade quilt passing away quietly, surrounded by sobbing descendants by the bedside.

He saw some resolve to aspire, to become a person of high standing, to struggle decisively, determined to forge ahead and strengthen themselves.

He also saw some who guarded their small piece of land, living day by day.

...

Is life equal?

Long ago, before Chen Mu embarked on the martial arts path, he might have answered no. Yet after embarking on martial arts cultivation, he might have answered yes, but once he ascended to the God Realm, he thought perhaps not.

Life is not equal, nor is the joy and sorrow of different people ever the same. Despite this, regardless of who you are, unless you enter the God Realm, you will ultimately experience birth, aging, sickness, and death. But this equality does not come from life, it comes from time.

In the face of time, all is fair, and all living beings are equal!

But life...

Life is complex. From the moment of birth, they are born with ’life’ as the foundation, and at the same time, they nurture ’all spirits.’ From the moment of their first cry, they are entangled with causality, and every action they take will influence the trajectory of the world, even if that influence might be negligible, yet it always exists.

Different lives symbolize myriad forms, and based on the wisdom of all spirits, they possess the ability to create, creating things that did not exist before.

In the Creation Lineage, none of the five fundamental mysteries exist independently; they are always entwined and interconnected.

This entanglement is beneficial when attempting to fuse mysteries, serving as an inspiration, but when comprehending essential mysteries, it becomes a disturbance. No matter which mystery one focuses on, they will be disturbed by the entanglement of the others.

However.

This disturbance has little impact on Chen Mu.

Because although it affects his comprehension of the life mystery, it merely slightly reduces his efficiency in acquiring experience points, while the experience of the other fundamental mysteries will also grow, even if only scattered a few points, it is still growth.

For ordinary people, scattered insights have little use. To comprehend a complete essential mystery, they need to spend a long time accumulating a vast and diverse array of insights, and then attempt to piece these insights together into a complete strand, finally achieving sudden insight to thoroughly grasp that lineage.

But for Chen Mu, accumulation is just accumulation; it is tangible experience.

In front of him, there is no bottleneck, as long as he accumulates enough, he can cross the threshold ahead.

Watching the birth, the living, and the eventual death of countless lives in the world, Chen Mu was also enveloped in his own insights and accumulations.

"Life is not equal, at least from the moment of birth, it is unequal, but the wisdom granted to all beings by the all spirits is equal. Anyone can rely on wisdom to change themselves..."

Chen Mu thought about his own rise, from an obscure lowly constable to the transcendent, free master of one realm.

He was born at the bottom, with no inherent advantages, but relying on his wisdom and effort, he has gradually reached his current position. All living beings possess equal wisdom, the same creative potential.

His thoughts suddenly recalled his previous experience of comprehending the Time Dao when the system panel sent him to another world, where he went through many reincarnations, spending a significant portion of them contemplating the Buddha Sutra.

He vaguely remembered the words in the Buddha Sutra, "All beings possess the wisdom of the Tathagata."

Initially, Chen Mu’s main direction of comprehension was the Time Dao, and his research on Buddhism was more of a side endeavor, but upon deeper reflection now, the principles contained in these Sutras are certainly beyond what mortal beings can grasp.

For example, this statement can be interpreted in many different ways, and in the context of the life lineage he is currently comprehending, it asserts that all life has infinite possibilities.

If this is true, then life is equal after all.

But such words, placed in the Da Xuan World, would likely be scoffed at by any grandmaster figure.

Does everyone have the potential to become a god?

What a joke!

Throughout the ages, even legendary figures like Master Xuantian or Donglin Sword Master could not cross that threshold.

They are the absolute geniuses born among billions of the human race, possessing supreme innate qualities and exceptional talents, standing worlds apart from ordinary people born without martial arts aptitude, poor in talent, and dull in wisdom!

Even they cannot knock on the door of the God Realm, so how could commonplace mortal beings become gods?
