Chapter 40: Life and Death, Reincarnation The great power of Taoism burst out, and a trace of heaven's will was forcibly restrained by Fuxi and integrated into the slowly descending wheel of life and death. The will of heaven is vast, life and death are in motion, and the great wheel of life and death, which originally only explained the life and death of mankind, suddenly burst into ten-colored light and turned into the life and death of heaven and earth. Every time the great wheel of life and death turns, the heaven and earth are reborn and destroyed. The birth of all things and the death of all souls are maintained on this precious wheel. The dim light falls, and all things turn to ashes and wither. The green light descends, and all things are born from the void, and humanity multiplies. "The Way of Life and Death?!" Hou Tu looked at the dark green treasure wheel that was flashing with thousands of maxims and inscriptions. Her pupils contracted and her face became serious as she looked at Fuxi. Just this one move is enough to show that Fuxi's Taoist level is not inferior to hers. The Xuanqing Tiandao Dharma Wheel turned, and the towering giant god carried the underworld. The two visions collided with each other. The Yuanshen of Fuxi and Houtu merged into the visions revealed by each other, and began to comprehend the essence of the Dao of Life and Death evolved by each other. The moment Fuxi's consciousness entered the Netherworld, he saw the endless calamities coming towards him, the 400 million calamities of the Netherworld, which were terrifying calamities that were enough to kill any living being. His pupils contracted, and the energies of life and death intertwined around Fuxi's body, destroying the red blood thunder that was falling in front of him. Looking at the blood-colored lightning that kept shattering in the palm of his hand, Fuxi was a little surprised at the weakness of the Red Blood Yin Thunder Tribulation. He was stunned for a moment, then looked at the many tribulations around him that were wiped out by the life and death energies in his body, and chuckled.
"That's right. If Hou Tu could really evolve the true Netherworld Four Hundred Thousand Tribulations, then she would have been promoted to the Hunyuan Daluo Daojun long ago." Standing in the boundless and endless underworld, Fuxi's eyes sparkled with strange light, his mind spread in all directions, and merged into the four hundred million calamities of the underworld. The laws of heaven and earth in the netherworld are incomplete. The 400 million calamities are called calamities, but in fact they are the means used by the great heaven to further perfect the netherworld. The four hundred million kalpas evolve all things in the universe, constantly promoting the evolution and perfection of all things in the universe and the laws of heaven in the netherworld. Therefore, the four hundred million kalpas in the netherworld are actually a symbol of the laws of heaven and earth in the netherworld. Fuxi's primordial spirit merged into countless Netherworld calamities. Amidst the fluctuations of his consciousness, the essence of the great Dao of heaven and earth carried by each Netherworld calamity had been imprinted into Fuxi's own primordial spirit. Hou Tu is the ruler of the underworld. Even though the 40,000 calamities of the underworld that she evolved are just a phantom, driven by the luck of the underworld, they possess a hint of the true meaning of the underworld. Fuxi comprehended the four hundred million kalpas of the Netherworld, and his understanding of the Great Dao of the Netherworld became deeper and deeper. The Great Dao of Life and Death that evolved from the root of the spiritual light of Taoism was also constantly evolving and sublimating. Stepping into the air, Fuxi transformed into a blue dragon. The dragon's roar was heard, and the power of life and death filled the surroundings. The four hundred million calamities in the netherworld were forcibly controlled by Fuxi. The deep aura of the underworld was intertwined with the aura of life and death. While Fuxi was in a hazy state of consciousness, his mind was connected with the will of the underworld and he entered the deepest realm of Tao. The fusion of Yuanshen and Dao is extremely dangerous for any living being. The power of Heaven is so supreme and great that it is far beyond the ability of a cultivator alone to contend with. However, what Fuxi is now in harmony with is a shadow of the Heavenly Dao that Hou Tu evolved with the authority of the underworld and the power of life and death. This gives Fuxi a lot of room for maneuver. With Fuxi's mental state, this power of harmony with the Dao is not enough to shake Fuxi's will. Fuxi's consciousness collapsed, and an inexplicable wave rippled and expanded in the underworld. Like a dream, birth and death cycle, in the chaos, the netherworld has disappeared, replaced by thousands of world communities, large and small, interlocking and intertwining, turning like gears. Small thousand worlds, middle thousand worlds, great thousand worlds, great perfect world, eternal world, countless heaven and earth dimensions overlap and intertwine, and an extremely strange structure replaces the netherworld. Fuxi's consciousness split into one hundred thousand paths, transformed into one hundred thousand rays of light and poured into this endless and ever-growing world community. The universe is just a dream, the law of heaven is reincarnation, and Fuxi's 100,000 consciousnesses unknowingly began to reincarnate in this infinite community of worlds. In one life, I am an eagle, soaring into the sky with my wings spread. In another life, I am a tiger, roaring in the jungle and patrolling the beasts. In one life, he was a spirit, hiding during the day and coming out at night, gathering energy and worshipping the moon. In another life, he was a monk, eating clouds and drinking dew, and flying a sword into the sky. In one life, I was a god or demon, I was arrogant and dominated the world. In one life, I was a demon king, I slaughtered the world and made all the ways submit to me... Life after life, reincarnation never stops, life and death continue. In the cycle of reincarnation, death and life are just a moment, and that moment is the waves of a lifetime, which goes on endlessly and without end.
Fuxi transformed the Netherworld evolved by Houtu into reincarnation. In just a dozen breaths, Fuxi had already comprehended all the profound meanings of the great principles derived from the Netherworld. This method of transforming the other party's perception into reincarnation, splitting one's own soul and using the law of reincarnation and life and death to comprehend the other party's great Dao, is the unique method of enlightenment that Fuxi created after experiencing the dream of the universe: the reincarnation journey. The universe is the most marvelous existence that Fuxi has ever seen. The myriad worlds have turned into a cycle of reincarnation, and all living beings have entered it. Only by transcending all the worlds of reincarnation can one be completely detached and rise above it. When Fuxi transcended the universe and dream in the past, he had already realized that the universe and dream was actually the reincarnation in the netherworld. At that time, the underworld had not evolved completely, and the reincarnation rooted in the underworld naturally had not evolved completely either. Fuxi was able to transcend the universe, which was also due to the fact that the universe had not evolved completely and transformed into reincarnation. Otherwise, with Fuxi's cultivation level and state of mind at that time, he would never have been able to transcend the cycle of reincarnation. After experiencing the dream of the universe, Fuxi used the cycle of reincarnation as a template and created the method of reincarnation travel. This magical power enabled Fuxi to comprehend the essence of the great way between heaven and earth at an extremely fast speed. This time, Fuxi used the reincarnation journey to force the underworld evolved by Houtu to transform into reincarnation. In just a dozen breaths, he had already comprehended all the essence of the underworld life and death evolved by Houtu. The vast and boundless world community turned back into the underworld, and one hundred thousand consciousnesses returned. Fuxi took a look at the underworld, and his consciousness returned to his body. In the octagonal jade tower in the sea of clouds, Fuxi looked across at Houtu who was still comprehending the way of life and death. His eyes looked at the sacred Dharma body behind Houtu embracing the underworld, his eyes flashing with brilliance. Compared with the netherworld, this Dharma body is the core of Hou Tu's own Tao. Hou Tu revealed this Dharma body, and naturally she did not mind Fuxi comprehending it. However, this is a Dharma body, which is essentially the incarnation of Hou Tu. It is impossible for Fuxi to comprehend it through such a direct method as reincarnation. (End of this chapter)
