Chapter 261: One is called Hetu, the other is called Luoshu
Dong Huang was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Master Bai, do you think our cultivation direction is wrong?"
Bai Tian was stunned: "Why do you think so?"
Dong Huang shook his head: "I don't know either, I've just been a little confused these past few years. I've been in this realm for more than ten years, and my appearance hasn't aged that quickly, and I basically don't need to eat now. But I can feel myself getting older."
"And Master Bai, as you know, my Tao is related to beasts. Over the years, I've come into contact with many ferocious beasts and discovered that many of them can actually absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but they are unable to cultivate because they lack intelligence. However, even so, some beasts can still live for a long time, especially those powerful and ferocious beasts."
"I always have a feeling that either our cultivation direction is wrong, or something is missing in our cultivation process, which prevents us from extending our lifespan."
Bai Tian frowned. In fact, he had thought about this problem, but apart from this direction, what other directions are there?
Whether it was the weakened body mentioned by Ji Xuan or Chi You's physical martial arts, they were actually built on the basic techniques created by Fu Xi and others. It can be said that the foundation of cultivation is the same.
If the direction is wrong, does that mean that the skills that Fuxi and I have studied are wrong, or incomplete?
Dong Huang continued, "Oh, Master Bai, I want to combine the techniques created by Fuxi and all of my elder brother's ideas to create two diagrams. One is called the River Diagram, and the other is called the Luoshu."
"I've discovered that the River Map and Luo Shu are quite profound. I've learned many truths from them, but I also have an indescribable feeling. When we get back, Master Bai, will you come with me back to the Dao Sect to take a look?"
Bai Tian was slightly surprised: "Dong Huang, you are really capable. You can even integrate their ideas."
Dong Huang laughed dryly, "This isn't just my achievement. Everyone from the founding of the Dao Sect has participated in it. The most profound of these are Fuxi's Eight Diagrams and the River Chart, which also touch upon the heavens, the earth, and the stars. They're truly difficult to understand, so I've only completed a portion of it."
"Shao Dian...oh, he's the current mayor of Yancheng. He's been having people work on this. I wonder if there's been any progress recently."
Bai Tian smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go check it out later. But now, I have to go see what's going on with the beasts."
Dong Huang immediately said, "Master Bai, I'll go with you..."
"No, you're too slow." Bai Tian shook his head. "Although you can fly now, you're still too slow for me. Besides, if it was that terrifying beast from back then, with your strength, you'd be wasting your time."
"Go to Black Sky City and find a man named Chi You. He has just become the Lord of Black Sky City. He has created a cultivation method called Ti Fa based on our techniques. Go and learn about it, and tell him about the beast herd."
"If there is no beast tide later, you can return to the Dao Sect. I will come to find you then."
Dong Huang's lips trembled as he wanted to say something, but Bai Tian was already smiling. "Dong Huang, remember this. Even if we're going in the wrong direction, it's not our fault, because no one knows the right direction."
"I remember Fuxi said that as pioneers, what we need to do is to keep exploring. If one generation isn't enough, then ten, or even a hundred. Our descendants, one day, will develop a complete cultivation method and system suitable for humanity."
Dong Huang's lips trembled slightly, his eyes filled with eagerness: "Master Bai, I understand."
Bai Tian patted Dong Huang's arm, then disappeared.
This conversation with Donghuang made Bai Tian feel a lot more at ease.
Regardless, Yancheng and Daomen are moving forward.
Even if the direction of progress is wrong, human civilization is constantly moving forward.
How can mankind's pursuit of power be smooth sailing?
From the beginning, no one dared to say that any particular cultivation method was completely correct. Even the "Hao" he was practicing during the day, he didn't think was necessarily correct.
Fuxi created the sky with a single stroke of his brush, but it was ultimately his creation. Perhaps one day, future generations will also be able to create another sky.
This is precisely why Bai Tian and Fu Xi have, from the very beginning, encouraged everyone to find their own path after practicing. Only by unleashing the wisdom of all humanity can one find the path that truly belongs to humanity.
Fuxi once said that his greatest wish was that when future generations turn the pages of cultivation history, they would see that beneath this blank sky, a group of people had diligently explored a path forward...
After parting with Donghuang, he continued to fly north during the day.
As we headed north, the ferocious beasts that appeared became more and more powerful, just like the scene when the one-eyed giant bull appeared.
After about five days, no more ferocious beasts were seen running around during the day, and the forest ahead became dead silent.
During the day, he became cautious, slowed down his flying speed, and headed towards the quiet forest ahead.
Just after crossing a mountain, a breath appeared in the woods ahead, and daytime was stunned.
It’s Bai Qiongqi... Oh no, its name is Bai Ze now!
Bai Ze flew over slowly, its fur becoming even more beautiful. The black stripes on its neck were very obvious, and its black and white tails were particularly eye-catching.
"You finally came." Bai Ze's tone was still so cold.
Bai Tian was at a loss for words: "After all this fuss, are the other beasts fleeing because you're here?"
"It's not me!" Bai Ze squinted his eyes slightly, "It's the thing you mentioned."
I was shocked during the day. It really was that huge and ferocious beast?
Bai Ze continued, "I gave it a name, Hun."
Bai Tian didn't think much about it and nodded slightly: "It doesn't matter what it's called, it's not easy to mess with anyway. Big sister, do you know what it's going to do? Why are so many ferocious beasts scared away?"
Bai Ze was silent for a moment, then responded, "I guess it's going to evolve."
evolution?!
This word really surprised Bai Tian. It was the first time he heard someone say this word.
Bai Ze thought Bai Tian didn't understand what he meant, so he glanced at him and explained, "I mean, it's getting stronger..."
"I know." Bai Tian took over the conversation. "Big sister, I find you know a lot. I used the skins of other ferocious beasts to create a map called the Mountain and River Map. Unfortunately, it was lost somewhere else. I will get it back when the time comes. Big sister, can you help me improve it?"
"Inside are the places I've visited over the years, the beasts I've seen, and so on. I drew them all with my own strength..."
"No help!"
Bai Ze gave a look of contempt, then flew forward.
Bai Tian's cheek twitched. He was still thinking, it must have been to many places, it would be great to let it help expand the map...
Rumble…
A muffled sound was heard from the distant mountains and forests, and then during the day, many mountains began to shake violently, comparable to a major earthquake.
Bai Tian was startled and immediately flew up to catch up with Bai Ze...
