Chapter 1092: Chapter 736: Severing the Dao
In Jiuzhou, is it impossible to break through to the Immortal Realm as long as there is a system?
This claim is very strange.
Xiang Beifei can control all systems, but he has never thought about this point.
However, after a second thought, this seems to be true because he has indeed never encountered any cultivator with an Immortal Realm level in Jiuzhou. Even the most powerful battle force in Jiuzhou, Elder Luo, is only at the late stage of Heavenly Connection!
"Why is this?" Xiang Beifei asked.
Luo Shanyou slightly shook his head: "We have always been searching for the specific reason."
"How did Uncle Luo discover this?"
"Back then, I left Jiuzhou to see the world beyond the wilderness and to pursue so-called immortality. But I never succeeded until I met Daoist Qingde, who is your grandfather. He told me that although systems make our cultivation faster, they are more like shackles for us humans, turning us into puppets controlled by the system, manipulating our lives. Haven’t you noticed?"
Luo Shanyou asked Xiang Beifei.
Xiang Beifei slightly furrowed his brows.
This is an issue he has always pondered.
In all of Jiuzhou, he is the only one who can see the system interfaces of others, and precisely because he can see others’ systems, he realizes the drawbacks of Jiuzhou people having systems.
Every Jiuzhou person lives for the "system mission"; their daily life purpose is to earnestly complete the tasks assigned by their awakened system, whether they want to or not.
Some people want to be a doctor from a young age, but because they awakened the Flower Cultivation System, they are forced to abandon their dreams and engage in flower-related professions, as they cannot cultivate or become strong if they don’t do these things!
Other people receive education with normal values, but at eighteen, they awaken the villain system; they want to cultivate, so they can only try to do bad things against their conscience. Once they taste the sweetness, they will gradually stray far from the principles they adhere to, unable to turn back from the path of evil.
In Jiuzhou, a person’s future is set from the year they awaken their system at eighteen.
The system level decides their social class; people with high-level systems are lofty, while those with low-level systems can only be oppressed by those with high-level systems at the bottom.
Because of the suppression of the system level, people at the bottom don’t even have the ability to resist.
Countless people, after obtaining their system, are forced to become the person they hate, becoming the tools of the system.
The system assigns tasks for them to do, and they do them, losing the initiative of being human.
Of course, in Jiuzhou, there is also a group of people who want to break free from the shackles of the system; these people are called the Unrestrained. But those who oppose the system have no place to stand in Jiuzhou.
The most profound impression on Xiang Beifei was of an old man named Chang Furong among the Unrestrained.
He awakened the [SSR Rank Evil-accumulating] system; with such a high-level system, he could easily enjoy privileges within the Jiuzhou Alliance, becoming a high-ranking leader of Jiuzhou, doing whatever he wants, even without severe consequences if he makes a mistake.
However, Chang Furong, this old man, cannot bear to do bad things. He is unwilling to comply with the system to complete the evil-accumulating tasks, spending his entire life finding a way to break free from the system.
Chang Furong has lived until now, over eighty years old; other SSR rank Awakeners, at over eighty, could easily reach the cultivation of the Heavenly Connection realm.
And Chang Furong, only at the Meridian Opening stage!
"How did my grandfather help Uncle Luo break free from the system?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"Severing the Path!"
"Severing the Path?"
"Yes, severing the path!"
Luo Shanyou explained, "We all know that the system is actually a Dao embryo nurtured by the Heavenly Dao, no different from the Heavenly Dao cultivated by other races. To be free from the system’s control, one must learn to sever the path, cut off the Heavenly Dao they are forced to cultivate!"
"If you sever the Heavenly Dao, how will you cultivate?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"Cultivate the Human Dao!"
Luo Shanyou’s voice was very firm!
Cultivate the Human Dao?
Xiang Beifei was slightly stunned, realizing he had overlooked this point.
The crane race people cultivate the Crane Dao.
The Tiger Race people cultivate the Tiger Dao.
But he had never thought that humans should cultivate the Human Dao!
"The Human Dao is one of the highest Heavenly Daos in the world! You’ve been in the Edge Corner Airspace for so long, you should understand that, no matter the race, their ultimate cultivated form is human! Tiger Dao race, Canine Dao race, Bird Dao race, Beast Dao race... when these races’ Heavenly Dao is cultivated to the Immortal Realm, their appearances must transform into complete humans, no different from us.
They always believe they are also human, but in reality, the term ’human’ always belongs to our true Human Race, not them! Even if they reach the Immortal Realm, they still cannot be considered humans; their cultivated Dao remains the original Dao! They only have a human appearance, but not a human essence, because they cannot cultivate the Human Dao!"
Luo Shanyou’s voice seemed extremely solemn; his definition of humanity was completely different from what Xiang Beifei had initially heard.
When he first arrived at the Edge Corner Airspace, He Qing of the Crane Dao race explained to Xiang Beifei that being human was not exclusive to the Human Race, but a form that the Human Race was simply born into.
Li Qianluo next to them suddenly chuckled and interjected: "Uncle Luo, other races can actually cultivate the Human Dao."
"But that requirement is very harsh! A Li, you should know how other races can cultivate the Human Dao." Luo Shanyou said sternly.
