574: Chapter 106 Breakthrougher 574: Chapter 106 Breakthrougher Leaves fell across the mountain, rustling and fluttering in the wind.
Xie Xuanyi sat alone amidst the fallen leaves of the mountain.
He raised his hands, and two balls of light ignited fiercely.
Left hand Life.
Right hand Destruction.
“My benefactor…”
Mi Yun stared blankly at this scene.
He didn’t understand the meaning of Xie Zhen’s words.
Breaking through last night, and breaking through again today…
Could there really be a difference?
…
…
“Ssst!”
A withered leaf, lifted by the wind, floated past in front of Xie Xuanyi, first brushing past his right hand.
The leaf was scorched by the dark light fire, partly tainted, and in an instant, turned to nothingness.
The Rule of Destruction had already condensed to ninety percent.
The final ten percent, which should have completed condensation, was suppressed by Meng Kejian’s Que Wu Blade Intent…
This was a great fortune.
Because the stagnation of the Rule of Destruction led to an unprecedented “perfect” formation of the Principle of Life at this moment.
The half-destroyed leaf drifted out of the light fire of the Rule of Destruction.
Then it fell into Xie Xuanyi’s left hand.
The leaf regained growth from nothingness.
Mi Yun and Deng Baiyi could hardly believe what they were witnessing.
What was destroyed by the Rule of Destruction…
was being repaired by the Principle of Life!
“Life and death are the most irreversible natural laws in the world.”
Xie Xuanyi looked at the leaf and whispered, “Even if one has comprehended the ‘Principle of Life,’ one must still ‘follow the course of nature’…
Mi Yun, do you think this principle is correct?”
“This…”
Mi Yun was suddenly put on the spot.
After pondering for a moment, he said with difficulty, “It should be correct?”
Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural order of things.
Even if the Principle of Life is powerful, it cannot resurrect the dead.
Xie Xuanyi did not respond, but continued, “If that’s correct, then why do cultivators practice cultivation?”
“Cultivators pursue cultivation naturally for immortality, freedom, and salvation.”
Mi Yun spoke without thinking, and then realized the problem.
Immortality, freedom, salvation.
Which of these does the Heavenly Dao allow?
Everyone is born without immortality, born without freedom, born unable to be liberated.
“To conform to the Heavenly Dao is no better than not practicing at all.”
Xie Xuanyi lowered his eyelids and said slowly, “Therefore…
no matter which Tao Rules one cultivates, one should understand that sooner or later cultivators will stand against the Heavenly Dao.”
Mi Yun listened in bewilderment.
He understood the principle.
But he didn’t understand, what does this have to do with the benefactor’s refusal to condense the Life Dao Realm?
“I cultivate the ‘Principle of Life’ to save those I wish to save.
As for the principles and rules, they must be set aside.
I want to save Zheng Fengsheng, and there are those who obstruct and prevent me from saving him.
That person calculated at every step, laying out grand schemes, outwardly considering for my benefit, intending me to conform to nature.”
“But such a ‘fruit,’ I simply do not wish to accept.”
Xie Xuanyi’s expression remained impassive as he clenched his left hand.
Xie Xuanyi recalled the great snowfall at Pingzhi City within his fragmented memories.
Ten years apart.
Lu Yuzhen’s eyes met his.
He must have calculated to use this ‘fruit’ to ascend to Yin God.
If accepted.
Then a new ’cause’ would be laid down.
From Lichao City to the Great Yue Kingdom, and until now…
Lu Yuzhen has calculated at every step, made arrangements at every turn.
But this time.
Xie Xuanyi decided to complete the ascension according to his own will.
“Booming thunder…”
In the small mountain, rolling thunder resounded.
Brilliant light splattered!
Xie Xuanyi slowly brought his hands together, the Life and Death Dao Rules, opposing each other like water and fire, began to violently react…
this was not the first time he had witnessed such a scene, having used the Life and Death Dao in combat at the Golden Body Tower and during his escape at Qixia Mountain.
There are some things in this world that are inherently opposed.
Life and Death are such things.
The former Xie Xuanyi had wrapped the Principle of Life on the outside and tucked the Rule of Destruction inside.
Once released, it would unleash tremendous power!
But this time, it was different.
The black Tao Rules and the white Tao Rules, under the pressure of Xie Xuanyi, had already condensed into a tiny speck of a Chaos Ball.
Xie Xuanyi had no intention of releasing his grasp, and his Divine Thought penetrated it, forcing the two strands of Tao Rules to fuse.
“Are you planning to begin Condensing Realm directly?”
Deng Baiyi’s beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
The fallen leaves on the ground suspended in layers.
A bone-chilling coldness emitted from the black robe of Xie Xuanyi.
“You all should back away a bit.”
Xie Xuanyi softly said, “It’s open here, breaking through right here…
won’t harm others.”
Deng Baiyi, holding Mi Yun, swiftly retreated.
She couldn’t help but blurt out, “Madness, truly consistent…
he’s a madman!”
“Sister Baiyi.”
Mi Yun looked at the surging sea of Lin Ye in the distant valley, leaves quickly cycling through birth and decay.
He asked in confusion, “Why do you call the benefactor a madman?”
“Who would not fully cultivate Tao Rules before directly entering the Condensing Realm?”
Deng Baiyi clenched her teeth tightly and said, “Cave Heaven Cultivators who haven’t fully condensed their Tao Rules can’t form their Grotto Heaven…
What’s more, he’s cultivating dual Tao Rules.
If this condensation goes wrong, it could be lethal!”
“Is it that dangerous?”
Mi Yun’s forehead began to glow faintly with gold.
Startled, he subconsciously touched his forehead.
The Karma Principle felt summoned at this moment and began to drift out on its own!
The surging “Life and Death Leaf Sea” in the distance seemed to pique the interest of the Karma Principle!
“I have never seen such a reckless ascension.”
Deng Baiyi stopped a mile away.
Her face tense, she couldn’t help but sigh, “To be able to comprehend both Life and Death Tao Rules is a fortune that comes once in a thousand years.
Logically speaking, anyone should seek steady progress and cultivate the Tao Rules to Great Success…
but he insists on being ‘aggressive’ like this.”
“The benefactor has always been such a person.”
Mi Yun murmured softly, “The path he cultivates has never been limited to Life and Death.”
