Within the Grand Dao Sacred Land, inside the Grand Dao Heavenly Palace.
It was still the same group of people, led by the Grand Dao Daoist. They hadn't stopped their exchanges and intellectual collisions over the years. In addition, the three clans had been continuously inviting Daoists and divine-demonic beings to join. Some, after refusing, were afraid of being troubled and specifically came to seek refuge, offering new ideas.
Now, they had finally successfully deduced three methods that were suspected of potentially leading to enlightenment, and they began discussing how to implement them.
"The path of perfecting fundamental laws can lead to enlightenment; I believe this is beyond doubt. However, there's an issue: since the completion of the world, whether it's those of us who were reborn from the corpses of the primordial divine-demonic beings or the surviving primordial divine-demonic beings themselves, all have lost the authority of the Law Masters.
Simultaneously, the laws of the entire world have become obscure, far from being as easily comprehended as in ancient times. At least, based on my inherited memories, the difficulty of comprehending laws now is far higher than in the past, becoming increasingly difficult to improve as time goes on.
I myself, relying on the relatively intact body of the primordial Grand Dao divine-demonic being and my own foundation, have only managed to comprehend the Grand Dao Law to over eighty percent. Further improvement is extremely difficult, often progressing by only a tiny bit over several eons.
The only fortunate thing should be that in ancient times, the three thousand laws were controlled by the three thousand primordial divine-demonic beings. Without their permission, one was simply not qualified to comprehend the laws.
While the laws are now obscure and difficult to comprehend, at least anyone can try to comprehend them. In fact, one can basically comprehend any of the three thousand laws at will, though it requires endless years to slowly grind and improve.
This can be considered a trade-off.
As far as I know, the ancestors of the three clans, although nominally following the path of destiny enlightenment, are actually still cultivating their own laws. They are merely using the method of destiny enlightenment to accelerate the comprehension of fundamental laws, or rather, to reduce the difficulty of comprehending laws.
The only difficulty now lies in how to speed up the comprehension of laws, or how to reduce their difficulty, making them less obscure!"
The Grand Dao Daoist had always followed the path of comprehending his own Grand Dao Law. Although Daoist Space's comprehension of his own law was not inferior to his, since the meeting was held in his Grand Dao Heavenly Palace, it was natural for the host to speak first regarding the matter of law enlightenment.
"Indeed. Furthermore, in reality, most of us are still following the path of laws. At most, some primordial beings with very low life levels cannot directly comprehend laws. They can only absorb spiritual energy, improve their inherent constitution, and gradually ascend to a level where they can comprehend laws, and then comprehend the laws.
If the path of law enlightenment is fundamentally unworkable, wouldn't that mean we have been on the wrong path from the beginning? I don't think it would come to that.
Most likely, we just haven't found the correct method.
The enhancement of destiny reducing the difficulty of comprehending laws is a form of borrowing external force to lessen the difficulty. I think this might actually be equivalent to a type of authority, or perhaps we've been mistaken all along. It wasn't that laws were easy to comprehend in ancient times, but rather that the primordial divine-demonic beings in ancient times, by possessing the authority of Law Masters, felt that laws were easy to comprehend.
Now that we no longer have the authority of Law Masters.
In fact, we have already differed from the primordial divine-demonic beings in our inherited memories, introducing variables. It's highly probable that without the authority of Law Masters, normal comprehension of laws is this obscure. It's not that the world has changed, but that we have changed.
Or perhaps both the world and we have changed."
After affirming what the Grand Dao Daoist had said, Daoist Space further proposed his own thoughts.
However, a Daoist named Qing Ming, who had lived from ancient times to the present, immediately raised an objection: "No!
I had no authority of Law Masters in ancient times, yet I felt laws were relatively easy to comprehend. After the world's completion, laws became difficult to comprehend.
Therefore, I believe it is still the world that has changed..."
"No, no, Space is correct. If you could comprehend laws in ancient times, it's certain you received permission from the corresponding Law Master. Without the permission of the corresponding Law Master, you would have likely been killed with a single palm strike.
Receiving permission from a Law Master to comprehend laws is very likely similar to the Law Master delegating a portion of their authority, or perhaps making a portion of the law accessible to you.
Allowing you to comprehend freely.
This is also equivalent to obtaining authority.
As the three thousand laws of the world reached completion, all the authority of the primordial divine-demonic beings as Law Masters was repossessed by the world. As your ultimate authority as a Law Master was repossessed, you naturally lost your special privilege.
And thus you feel the laws have become obscure and difficult to comprehend.
When you put it this way, it further supports Space's speculation. The ease of comprehending laws, no, the ease of comprehending laws, stems from whether one possesses the corresponding authority. If gathering destiny is one way to obtain authority, then there must be other ways to obtain authority. Wait, the river of time and the river of destiny?"
Qing Ming's words seemed to have opened the Grand Dao Daoist's mind, and some information in his mind instantly became clear and organized. He understood that the root of the difficulty in comprehending laws lay in whether one possessed the world's authority. The method of destiny enlightenment was merely one way to obtain authority.
At the same time, he immediately thought of the two divine-demonic beings who had transformed into the river of time and the river of destiny. Although it was unknown whether these two divine-demonic beings were alive or dead, they had indeed controlled the world's authority over time and destiny by transforming into the river of time and the river of destiny.
This might be a method of obtaining authority.
All Daoists, divine-demonic beings, or ancestors who had corresponding primordial inheritances and understood the river of time and the river of destiny immediately understood the Grand Dao Daoist's implied meaning and continued to discuss it.
"If I recall correctly, the Sun Star and the Moon Star in the sky now are transformed from the Sun and Moon divine-demonic beings of that era, right? No, they merged with them after their creation. They did not perish.
But their current state is indeed hard to say."
"There are actually quite a few stars in the sky created by primordial divine-demonic beings. Some primordial divine-demonic beings merged with the stars they created, while others did not.
Are there any present who created stars, whose stars have not been destroyed, and who are still alive? Can you tell us if you feel a slight infusion of authority?"
"How can you ask like that..."
"How about we find a star and observe it closely, see if we can awaken the Moon or Sun divine-demonic beings fused with it and ask them?"
"The Underworld divine-demonic being also seems not to be dead, having merged with the Underworld. Now, the Underworld's location cannot be found!"
"I remember that refining a piece of earth vein can grant a very minuscule amount of corresponding authority. So, is it possible that by refining a sufficiently vast area, one can obtain enough authority? What if one could refine the entire world?"
"Stop dreaming..."
"Let's talk about something realistic!"
"Speaking of which, I haven't thought about it. I remember that after the Nine Heavens divine-demonic beings opened the Nine Heavens Realm, they did not merge with it. But after the world's completion, the Nine Heavens Realm seems to have disappeared. Where did it go?"
"The Nine Heavens divine-demonic beings should not have all perished. Perhaps one of them survived and, to repair their injuries, directly sealed and hid the Nine Heavens Realm!"
"It seems that in the depths of the mysterious, some unknown existence is diluting the influence of the Nine Heavens Realm, and even the prominence of the stars. Think about it, the three clans are fighting so fiercely, and they only fight on oceans and continents. Why haven't they thought of occupying the starry sky and searching for the Heavenly Realm and the Underworld?"
"It seems the future of practicing the path of law enlightenment is very clear. The main issue is how to find a way to obtain authority to reduce the difficulty of comprehending laws."
"Exactly. Let's discuss this point for now."
"Alright. After discussing the other two potentially successful enlightenment methods, we can delve into the details later."
"Spirit Master, please speak about the method of world enlightenment!"
