Chapter 676 - 80: The Dao Fruit, Finally Achieved! All Dao Seekers Must Seek Me

Chapter 676: Chapter 80: The Dao Fruit, Finally Achieved! All Dao Seekers Must Seek Me

The Donghuang Bell, from Time, history, and wisdom, to fortune, Physique, and spirit, contains a total of nine Great Dao, making it a Supreme Treasure on the level of Enlightenment.

Even compared to a great artifact like the Qing Ping Sword, it was only a slight step below.

Lu Xuan closed his eyes, gazing, stunned, at the slowly rotating Creation Jade Disc within his body.

He looked at the dazzling array of Great Dao reflected by the Creation Jade Disc. His mind was involuntarily immersed in them, as if he had come to a sudden, great realization.

The Creation Jade Disc had successively gathered the Human Emperor’s Sword, the Shennong Cauldron, the Jade Void Glazed Lamp, the Eight Sceneries Palace Lamp, the Spirit Coffin Lamp, the Celestial Emperor’s Seal, the Azure Heaven Crown, the Four Noble Truths Seal, and finally... the Donghuang Bell.

There were nine great artifacts. The first eight each contained eight fundamental Great Dao, while the Donghuang Bell was transcendent, containing nine. Adding to that Lu Xuan’s own Path of Great Balance...

The eighteen aggregated Dao, in a perfect cycle, formed a flawless, balanced Circle.

This Circle, or rather, this Creation Jade Disc, had no beginning and no end. It was balanced in all things. It *was* all things. It was... the Three Thousand Great Dao.

The Great Dao are not limited to three thousand; it is merely a figurative number. The same is true for the Creation Jade Disc. For every Dao that exists in the world, the Creation Jade Disc holds one more.

All Great Dao achieved perfection within it, harmonizing incomparably, intertwined yet in perfect order...

"Dao..."

Lu Xuan stood in the sea of his own consciousness, muttering to himself:

"Dao Generating One, the One generates two, the two generate three..."

"And the three generate all things."

’It’s called the Path of Great Balance, but in reality...’

’It should be considered the Fundamental Dao...’

Realization dawned on him. His True Spirit lifted the Creation Jade Disc, and his Divine Thought communicated with the Three Thousand Great Dao, engraving one Dao after another upon his True Spirit and within his Physique.

Lu Xuan wanted to use Only I Am Venerable to achieve World Clarity, to establish the Hongjun Era. What he needed was not just absolute power that could suppress everything.

The most important thing was to have...

Balance.

The ability to balance all Dao, all things, and all living beings.

The common people do not worry about having too little, but about unequal distribution. To seek Balance, one must first master all Dao, become a vessel for all Dao, and first... undergo Transformation Dao, Integration Dao, and achieve Enlightenment.

Houtu achieved Integration Dao with the Dao of all living beings. If Lu Xuan wished to achieve Integration Dao, he must integrate with the Three Thousand Great Dao.

"I see. So that’s how it is."

Lu Xuan’s True Spirit gently caressed the Creation Jade Disc as he spoke peacefully:

"All living beings seek to prove their Dao, becoming a Dao Fruit, an Ancient One. The next step is to become an Enlightened One..."

"Therefore, the realms after Daluo are Proving the Dao, becoming an Enlightened One, and reaching Perfection."

"But I am different."

Lu Xuan’s fingers gently traced the Creation Jade Disc, quietly comprehending the endless power, comprehending that Circle without beginning or end.

’I see my path forward clearly now. I see the realms I will walk. My path is Transformation Dao, Integration Dao, and Enlightenment. I will not pursue a Dao Fruit, for I myself am the Dao Fruit. Therefore...’

’It should be that all beings come to prove me!’

His eyes shone brightly, his smile brilliant.

’The Realm of Transformation is superior to an Ancient One but not yet an Enlightened One. The Realm of Unity is superior to an Enlightened One but not yet Perfection. And the Realm of Enlightenment... may be superior to Perfection but not yet Transcendence...’

’At the time of Transformation Dao, I am the Dao. At the time of Integration Dao, there is no difference between the Dao and I, or I and the Dao. At the time of Enlightenment, the Dao is me!’

’Use Transformation Dao to achieve Integration Dao, use Integration Dao to achieve Enlightenment, and use Enlightenment to... bring peace to the world.’

He tried to penetrate and study the Three Thousand Great Dao, engraving them one by one onto his body and his True Spirit.

With every Dao he engraved, Lu Xuan’s True Spirit grew more brilliant, more profound, more ethereal. Gradually, he drew closer to the Dao.

Opening his eyes, Lu Xuan gazed at the Three Thousand Great Dao, at the Creation Jade Disc. He seemed to see the nine Dao Fruit Positions swaying, rising and falling.

He looked at them and shook his head, feeling no desire, no pursuit, no need to explore.

’A Dao Fruit?’

’I do not seek a Dao Fruit Position.’

’I *am* a Dao Fruit Position.’

’There are nine Dao Fruit Positions, but starting with me, there will be more than nine.’

A splendid light burst from Lu Xuan’s True Spirit. His smile grew even more brilliant as he brought his hands together and whispered:

"Today."

"I will undergo Transformation Dao."

...

「Hongmeng.」

"Is that... Lu Xuan?"

Ancient Bodhi Buddha’s gaze swept past Supreme, the Lame Daoist, and the Goddess, landing on the middle-aged man sitting quietly in the middle of Hongmeng. A light shone from his entire body, illuminating all of Hongmeng. The Buddha’s expression suddenly hardened.

"The Three Thousand Great Dao are rising and falling... Can it be that this boy is trying to use Great Magical Power to prove his Dao? It seems he’s only a step away?"

The Buddha Mother’s expression changed slightly. She said in a low voice:

"We cannot let him succeed. If Lu Xuan proves his Dao and attains a Dao Fruit, with the addition of the Great Will of Heaven and Earth, I fear that within the Great Heaven and Earth... he will be comparable to an Enlightened One!"

The Demon Ancestor also glanced over at Lu Xuan, then turned his gaze to the Goddess and gave a cold smile.

"Goddess, so you’ve finally shown yourself..."

The peerlessly beautiful woman, now revealed in her true form and wearing a Ni Chang dress, had a solemn expression. She spoke with grave importance:

"We must buy time for Xiaoxuan!"

"Naturally!" The Lame Daoist stepped forward. The Qing Ping Sword appeared at his side, and he gently grasped it. Supreme summoned the Eight Trigrams Furnace, tossed Lu Xuan inside, and closed the lid. He too spoke with cold indifference:

"Fellow Daoists, I must ask you to withdraw."

"Withdraw?"

Ancient Bodhi Buddha smiled faintly.

"Lu Xuan cannot be allowed to prove his Dao. Therefore... there can be no withdrawal."

The moment his voice fell, in the next instant...

Ancient Bodhi Buddha suddenly erupted. The majestic scenery of a Buddha Land appeared behind him. The Bodhi Miaoshu in his hand swayed, and all forty-eight of its branches burst with light!

"Lu Xuan cannot be allowed to prove his Dao."

With that,

Ancient Bodhi Buddha and the Buddha Mother joined forces, striking toward the Lame Daoist. Fu Xi spread his hands, his own Innate Spiritual Light expanding. His Infinite True Spirit manifested, nearly filling the endless Hongmeng, as he too charged toward Supreme!
