Under One Person: The Seeker of the Dao in the Lü Family

Chapter 164 Breaking Through the Barrier in My Heart, Master Fang, Take Care, I Still Want to Invite

"Alright, it's time for me to take this final step."

Fang Dongtian sat cross-legged amidst the golden flames, smiling broadly as he looked at Lü Qian. "Young man, watch closely!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the light emanating from the old man suddenly contracted, circulating throughout his body, connecting his limbs, bones, internal organs, and meridians.

Amidst the flames, a dazzling and immortal golden light slowly emerged from all parts of Fang Dongtian's body; it was Fang Dongtian's Yang God.

The golden Yang spirit gradually solidified and emerged. Lü Qian could sense its immortal magnificence, like the rising sun or the birth of a newborn baby, radiating vitality.

Yang Shen!

Moreover, it is a Yang spirit that has achieved complete Yin and pure Yang, containing not a trace of Yin, with only the pure Yang aura illuminating the entire room.

Lu Qian looked at the Yang God with some surprise. At this moment, he deeply felt the cultivation level of these senior masters.

Fang Dongtian was actually a true Yang God!

Seeing the surprised expression on Lü Qian's face, the Yang God who looked exactly like Fang Dongtian smiled at him, "What's so strange about me, an old Taoist who has cultivated for a hundred years, achieving Yang God status?"

"But even if I achieve the Yang God status, I, this so-called Yang God True Person, will not escape the calamity of birth, aging, sickness, and death."

"The path to enlightenment is vast and uncertain, the path to immortality is elusive. Young Master Lü, have you considered why you seek this path?"

The Yang spirit became increasingly brilliant and clear. Fang Dongtian's Yang spirit attached itself to various parts of his body, gradually emitting a bright white light under the scorching heat of the golden flames.

This light of wisdom gradually solidified, eventually transforming into a pure white divine fire. The flames roared, converting all the surrounding golden radiance and raging fire into the light of wisdom and divine fire, and the meaning of immortality within them became increasingly profound.

Fang Dongtian's yang spirit gradually disappeared into his physical body. He looked at Lü Qian and said in a deep voice, "Although you are an absolute seeker of the Dao, you also understand where the Dao lies."

"But all these years, you still haven't found why you seek the Tao, why you're unwilling to be ordinary, or why you yearn for immortality..."

"Young man, you haven't experienced enough. Go out and see more of the world. This world is in flux, and everyone is part of it."

"You've been getting a bit too arrogant lately!"

Under Lü Qian's gaze, Fang Dongtian's Yang spirit completely merged into his physical body, and the pure white divine fire shone brightly all around.

"boom!"

The Divine Fire of Wisdom suddenly surged, its flames soaring into the sky, and Fang Dongtian, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, gradually began to emit specks of immortal white energy.

This is the final step, refining the physical body into the Yang spirit, ultimately achieving unity of form and spirit, and returning to the state of primordial ancestral energy.

As Lü Qian listened to Fang Dongtian's admonition, he carefully memorized every word. Looking at Fang Dongtian, who was radiating divine fire, the golden-red flames in his eyes grew even brighter.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a sound like dry firewood crackling came from the divine fire, startling the towering flames. Immediately afterward, the misty white aura emanating from Fang Dongtian's body gradually dissipated, and the bright and immortal light of wisdom also gradually faded away.

"Master Fang!"

With mixed feelings, Lü Qian looked at Fang Dongtian in front of him. At this moment, he witnessed the passing of an old man and the fall of a seeker of the Dao on his own path.

"Are these tears?"

He reached up and touched the corner of his eye. The dampness there told Lü Qian that he had experienced things he hadn't done many times in his previous life, but had done so many times in this life.

The three grandmasters of Wudang sacrificed themselves to pave the way for his path...

Grand Master Fang Dongtian proved his Dao by his own actions, pointing him in the right direction...

In his previous life, the mundane existence of Lü Qian shaped him into someone unmoved by anything, but it also created a Lü Qian with a closed heart.

He could view the Eight Extraordinary Skills as roadside flowers, focusing wholeheartedly on the path of life and death beneath his feet.

He could dedicate himself wholeheartedly to the Lü family, Wudang, and Quanzhen.

Now he has mastered the teachings of all the Quanzhen Schools, cultivated his knowledge of the Hundred Classics, and has achieved his own path to enlightenment. He is currently on his own path to enlightenment.

Everything is getting on track, isn't it?

No, this is yet another cycle of reincarnation. He is gradually moving towards his past self, the ordinary and mediocre self that he once considered to be from the past.

Lü Qian has lost his way on his path. If he continues down this path, how will he be any different from those golden clay statues in palaces and temples?

Realizing this, Lü Qian watched the gradually dissipating white mist in front of him and the extinguishing divine fire, and felt his originally calm and composed heart churn once again.

"Snap!"

It sounded as if shackles were breaking. When the sound rang out, Lü Qian felt his previously restrained emotions surge out like a flood.

The world around him was clearly the same as before, but he could feel a brilliance in it that he had never experienced before.

"So focused on getting there that I didn't even realize I was terminally ill?"

Lu Qian looked at his hands and chuckled twice, but as he laughed, he became sad again, and tears welled up in his golden-red eyes.

"Master Fang, am I grieving for you?"

"Hahaha, kid, you've finally broken through your mental barrier!"

A clear and melodious voice suddenly rang out in the void, a voice that sounded just like the powerful Fang Dongtian who had imparted his teachings to Lü Qian a few years ago.

"Whoosh—"

In the gradually fading divine light, fragmented golden light, like starlight, rose and gathered, condensing into Fang Dongtian's kind and gentle figure in the void.

This figure was none other than Fang Dongtian's Yang God, but the originally bright and radiant Yang God was now slowly collapsing.

The old Taoist priest looked down at Lü Qian, who was weeping uncontrollably, and laughed heartily.

"From the very first time I met you, I noticed something: you're a very interesting kid."

The Yang God, sitting cross-legged in the void, gradually revealed a look of reminiscence in his eyes. "Your mind is indeed stable and very clear-headed."

"You know clearly where your path is and where you should go. You are clearly the age of a stubborn little monkey, but you are like a golden and jade saint who has experienced the trials and tribulations of the world."

"This is both good and bad."

"A person's life is like that of a young grandchild, gradually transforming into an old man."

"Since we've been given a second chance at life, why not relive the experiences that have settled in our hearts?"

"Did you know I have been reincarnated with innate wisdom?"

"Innate wisdom" refers to the wisdom brought from previous lives, a term that evolved from Buddhist scriptures.

With teary eyes, Lü Qian looked at the old Taoist priest slowly dissipating into the void, his face showing surprise again. "Grandmaster, you all knew I possess innate wisdom?"

However, Fang Dongtian, who had been so confident, suddenly burst into laughter. "I didn't know before, I just tricked you. I didn't expect you to be so clueless after your mind was cleared up, hahahaha..."

"Master Fang!"

The Yang God in the void gradually became sparse and faint. Fang Dongtian also realized that time was running out. He stopped laughing and said meaningfully to Lü Qian.

"Since we are all practitioners, we should naturally be able to foresee the matter of reincarnation. If we guess a little more, we will find the answer."

He smiled and looked at Lü Qian, "You look like the Great Sage Monkey on the outside, but I didn't expect you to be such a child at heart. Lü, you still have a lot to learn about life."

"Now that you've come back to this world, why follow the same old path? Going back to the old ways is not a good direction."

As he spoke, Fang Dongtian's figure gradually faded, becoming almost transparent, and the speed at which his Yang God shattered into starlight increased even more rapidly.

"With new beginnings, we should also relive our emotional journey and forge a new path!"

As he spoke, the Yang God that had been formed collapsed again, turning into a swirling stream of light that was about to disappear into the void in the blink of an eye.

"Since we're embarking on a new path, it's natural to have familiar faces by our side!"

Lu Qian suddenly put away the complex expression on his face, looked firmly at the gradually dissipating light in the void, and his body suddenly shone with an immortal golden light.

"The Lü Qian of the past was me, but I am the Lü Qian of today. Let bygones be bygones, but I don't want to be ordinary now!"

As he spoke, his body disintegrated and transformed into a bright golden light that filled the surrounding void. His voice was as clear as thunder, echoing throughout the room.

"Although I am still somewhat confused and do not know what I am seeking the Tao for, I now understand one aspect of it."

"That is to change what is in front of us."

"Master Fang, please don't leave yet. This junior would like to invite you to ascend to the Ninth Heaven together!"
