Chapter 160: You Have Entered the Path

  "Mood, unexpectedly..."

  "Transcended..."

  What a terrible term. From ancient times to the present, countless strong men have pursued it tirelessly, never stopping, and one of their ultimate goals is just for a kind of transcendence, although this transcendence is only a change in mentality, but for many strong men, such a state of mind is what they dream of.

  "It is said that the state of transcendence can only be possessed by those ancient sages and modern-day extremely powerful beings. Such existences, without exception, have all broken through the worldly red dust, their souls are sacred, and they are the strongest eternal existences!"

  "How could he possibly achieve such a high level of transcendence..."

  Li Tianlai was incredulous, unable to imagine how Lu Feng could achieve this. Those transcendent ancient sages, those currently supreme great beings, had all gone through countless eras of change and had undergone the trials of life and death before they could reach this step. But Lu Feng, a youth who had lived for only seventeen years, how was it possible for him to achieve this?!

  The laughter gradually stopped. Lu Feng looked at the eerie and quiet world, with a strange taste. Although his strength was so low that he didn't even have the qualifications to be despised by many beings, but at this moment, that smile brought an unusual light, making people's minds clear and respectful.

  Gradually, Lu Feng's laughter stopped, he raised his arm, stretched out his palm, as if feeling the changes of heaven and earth, the rotation of years. Finally, Lu Feng slowly opened his mouth.

  And it was at that very moment, the quiet will was completely shattered, replaced by a crazy flavor, which is the terrifying aura of destroying all the heavens, making people tremble and unable to describe.

  "I understand what you're saying, I get it."

  "The world was never a world for all living beings. Its existence ultimately belongs to those who set the rules."

  "The strong have the qualifications to set everything, make all the rules, and let all changes follow their own mood. As long as they are strong enough, they can affect the world!"

  "One day, when I become the master of all living things and reach the pinnacle of the universe, everything in the entire universe will be under my control. If I let humanity thrive, then heaven and earth and all things will change for the sake of humanity's existence."

  "I want to be reborn, and in an instant the universe will collapse. All changes depend on my single thought at that time."

  "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, regarding all things as straw dogs. This is because everything is created by heaven and earth, whether it's the myriad of wise spirits or the humblest of creatures, they're just part of their rules. In the eyes of those who govern all existence, all living beings and things are actually the same. Therefore, they make no distinction between them; they 'are not benevolent', simply because they are strong enough!"

  "Sages are not benevolent, they treat the common people like grass and dogs. This is the greatness of sages, creating and transforming all living things! In ancient legends, the Three Sovereigns governed the world, the Five Emperors established moral principles. They educated not only human beings but also all creatures. They were the ultimate controllers of everything. Therefore, in their eyes, humans and dogs were no different, both were objects to be educated, both belonged to the rules they set. Their 'non-benevolence' was because they were strong enough!"

  "Am I right?"

  The sound gradually faded away, but the reverberations of everything still lingered in Li Tianlai's heart. Lu Feng's words, he had either heard or thought before. But at this moment when Lu Feng spoke them out loud, it made Li Tianlai's heart also fluctuate and respond with ups and downs. His eyes grew brighter and his heartbeat stronger. Just as he thought he had grasped something, a loud voice echoed in the sky.

  The voice, still that familiar voice, but the will behind it had completely changed. This time, it was filled with a deafening sound, like a stern rebuke, which instantly brought Li Tianlai back from his deep contemplation to complete wakefulness. At this moment, countless beads of sweat trickled down Li Tianlai's back, and he knew that if Daozongtian hadn't spoken up at the last moment, he would have been trapped in Lu Feng's words, unable to extricate himself for the rest of his life.

  At this moment, Li Tian's gaze at Lu Feng was filled with countless terrified expressions. He had never thought that a mere cultivator who hadn't even reached the level of a Da Nian Shi warrior could, relying on his own weak words, cause his own half-god Nian Shi soul to almost sink.

  This is terrifying!

  That harsh rebuke did not change Lu Feng's complexion, he still stood in his original position.

  Just now's words are Lu Feng's path to transcendence, which is the ultimate truth he has come to realize. Li Tianlai was right. If it were the Lu Feng of old, then even if his innate talent was higher, even if he had a 2.5, 2.6 or even 2.7 innate talent development degree, it would still be absolutely impossible for him to have walked out of his own path to transcendence so early.

  But now it's different. Lu Feng is no longer the Lu Feng of the past.

  In the ninth life, he experienced too much. These nine lives were equivalent to him reincarnating nine times, with all the joys and sorrows of human life, birth and death, and the passage of time. The total amount of time Lu Feng had lived might not even be comparable to a single lifetime of those powerful beings. But what he had experienced was something that no one else could compare to.

  Previously, Tú Tiānshén's words served as a catalyst, allowing Lǔ Fēng's already introspective heart to undergo a complete transformation. And in this moment, upon hearing Dào Sòngtiān's words, Lǔ Fēng seemed to have experienced the cycle of reincarnation for the ninth time. Gradually, he finally found his own path...

  In the distant horizon, a figure suddenly appeared, he was so calm, wearing a green robe, with snow-white long hair draped over his shoulders. He was clearly standing in mid-air, clearly existing, but even if you saw him with your own eyes, it was still hard to believe that he truly existed!

  It's as if he is the entire world; seeing the entire world is equivalent to seeing him. To see him clearly, one must see the entire world clearly!

  He, one of the supreme rulers of the Federation, Dou Sheng Tian, has finally descended...

  Standing quietly in front of Lu Feng, the old face hid an incredibly terrifying power. If it were before, Lu Feng wouldn't have felt anything. But at this moment, after finding his own path, he had a strange feeling towards another existence that had also found its way.

  Although the power was terrifying and enough to make the entire universe tremble, making it possible for someone to be a tyrant under the gods, it couldn't make Lu Feng feel even slightly submissive.

  At this moment, he faces Daoyun Tian with a completely equal attitude. Although the strength is different from heaven and earth. But their realm is the same. They are all travelers on the road, although they started early or late, but they have all set foot on that road!

  Looking at Dao Congtian's eyes, Lu Feng was equally calm. In those clear and muddy pupils that saw through the world, billions of changes were evolving every moment, the stars and constellations rising and falling, and the vast starry sky disappearing. This was a magnificent and extraordinary phenomenon, an extremely powerful pair of eyes that no one could resist.

  It was just a glance, but Li Tianlai was thoroughly terrified. His head hung low, not daring to look at the teacher's eyes. He knew that those were the true eyes of Dao Congtian, capable of destroying and creating worlds with their gaze. Having followed the teacher for nearly thirty years, he had only seen him open his truly great eyes twice. Once was when he was sparring with the old ancestor of the Shenwang clan, Yu You. At that moment, the heavens collapsed, the stars and rivers were chaotic, and the entire void was swept by those eyes, becoming nothingness in an instant, turning into dust, and a star system began to collapse. It was also the first time he had witnessed the terror of Tian Shi, the number one cultivator of the Federation.

  And this time, it was the second time. However, this second time was directed at a young and weak existence. Although he had extraordinary talent, but now he was just an ant.

  However, it was this tiny ant that shocked him once again. Facing those extremely powerful twin pupils that could destroy the heavens and create an eternal dusk, he was still smiling, and he didn't have even a hint of retreating!

  Is this still an ant?!

  Could this be an ant?!

  Daogong Tian stood lightly in front of Lu Feng, allowing those devastating eyes to scan Lu Feng, yet never had the slightest change. After a long time, he let out a light sigh.

  "Your way is the strongest way, in your heart, only the strongest path is the eternal way, so the way you understand is the strongest way."

  "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, regarding all things as straw dogs. The sage is not benevolent, regarding the people as straw dogs. This is an ancient truth that has been passed down. Those who possess ren see ren, those who possess wisdom see wisdom."

  "In the eyes of the great sages of old, they grasped the true meaning of benevolence, so in their hearts, whether it was all things or a blade of grass, were equally precious. Their 'non-benevolence' was not 'non-benevolence' towards all things, but rather true 'benevolence'. Their Way, the path they saw, the direction they chose, was the Great Benevolent Way."

  "In my eyes, all things and straw dogs are not different. What I see is non-action, is non-interference. 'Non-benevolence' is because I don't care, I don't want to interfere with any changes, I just want them to develop naturally on their own. So, I won't listen to any cries or prayers. In my eyes and heart, there is only the hope that they will develop naturally. Therefore, my way is the way of non-action."

  "No matter if it's the strongest way, the greatest benevolent way, or the effortless way, they are all ways. Most people don't know that there are 3,000 roads, which is why we call them the 3,000 great ways. And as for us, we are all about understanding our inner selves, feeling our own existence, and walking on these 3,000 roads, with the ultimate goal of reaching the end of everything!"

  "On the three thousand roads, there is no right or wrong, no good or evil. There is only one's own heart. Believe in oneself, and you are correct, you are just, this has nothing to do with anything."

  Looking at Lu Feng's gentle smile, Dao Songtian's eyes also slowly closed. The next time they opened, they had returned to their usual appearance when facing others.

  He smiled lightly and said: "Lu Feng, congratulations."

  "You have entered the Tao..."
