The Golden Elixir is A Star, and You Call This Cultivation?
Chapter 1445 - 623: I Reject Your Path

Chapter 1445: Chapter 623: I Reject Your Path

In San Sheng’s eyes, those two traces, one named Wu Fa, the other named Shou Heng, symbolized the fixed rules.

This was also the path of two strong individuals above Yang Five.

His eyes carried a contemplating expression as he delved deeper into understanding their paths.

As for the other Yang Five powerhouses, their gazes were focused, seemingly lost in enlightenment.

They were also attempting to comprehend the paths of those few traces.

At that moment, a colorful dazzling light landed on San Sheng.

This streak of light was ordinary, not even as strong as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s flashing technique.

However, the remaining Yang Five powerhouses all looked at San Sheng at this moment, their eyes showing surprise and admiration.

"What is this?"

"The traces have changed!"

"Could it be, San Sheng has perceived it?"

"Indeed, he is the one among us most likely to step above Yang Five."

These ancient Yang Five beings, having lived countless years, were still excited at this moment.

Then, within that light ray, a mechanical voice emerged.

"My name is Wu Fa, would you walk my path?"

The voice was mechanical, seeming to invite San Sheng.

The surrounding Yang Five powerhouses heard this, their eyes glowing with excitement.

Above Yang Five, mysterious and unfathomable, yet some rumors had spread.

To step into Yang Six, one must either follow their own path or... follow the path of other Yang Six powerhouses.

To walk a path together, there is no distinction of high or low.

This Yang Six powerhouse named Wu Fa, by inviting San Sheng, showed a willingness to share his path.

Which of these Yang Five old monsters wouldn’t envy him, wouldn’t be excited?

Should San Sheng agree, he could step into Yang Six in an instant.

However, something unexpected happened.

"Wu Fa, Shou Heng, your path is not mine."

San Sheng refused.

He had seen clearly the path of Wu Fa.

The path might be suitable for Blue Star.

Wait, what is Blue Star?

Anyway, the path of Wu Fa emphasizes the complete severance from heaven and earth, no existence beyond the ordinary.

Meaning, without extraordinary factors, all beings in the world are mere mortals.

No extraordinary beings mean that powerful destructive Dao Methods would cease to exist.

It’s fundamentally impossible to truly annihilate True Spirits and completely destroy matter.

So...Shou Heng?

Such a path is not what San Sheng seeks.

If all people are mortals, even if it does not affect oneself, such a path is also deemed useless.

San Sheng’s refusal shocked all the Yang Five present.

After all, he had actually refused the path of Yang Six.

Some of the Yang Five old monsters couldn’t help but beat their chests and stomp their feet, wishing they could accept on behalf of San Sheng.

Unfortunately, they were not qualified, and could only feel regret for San Sheng.

Some were secretly pleased, wondering if San Sheng had still any chance to step above Yang Five after missing this path.

Just then, suddenly, several more rays of light fell on San Sheng.

Mysterious and unfathomable sounds rose, akin to celestial music.

These Yang Five powerhouses couldn’t hear it clearly.

But they understood that these were several Yang Six powerhouses inviting San Sheng to tread their paths.

"Can it be..."

"Is the talent disparity between beings so vast?"

"Which one will he choose?"

Everyone who came to Origin Mountain was a true powerhouse, no, ’powerhouse’ is an understatement, they were peerless experts.

But in front of San Sheng, they appeared particularly foolish.

Most people watched San Sheng, focusing on his choice.

After all, at this moment, the traces vibrated, temporarily unable to be perceived.

"Your paths, none suit me." San Sheng still refused, without any hesitation.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all beings present slightly changed.

"How many did he refuse?"

"Didn’t he refuse them all?"

Although there were only a few rays of light, they were innumerable, not knowing how many there were.

But judging from the situation, whatever invitations were extended, all were refused by San Sheng.

The rest of the Yang Five old monsters felt bitter inside.

They yearned deeply, yet San Sheng regarded it as trifles.

They sighed.

San Sheng refused so many paths, clearly possessing high spirit.

They too had spirit.

But if it were them, they would definitely not refuse the invitation.

No matter what, step into Yang Six first.

With San Sheng’s refusal, those traces on Origin Mountain once again fell silent.

Seeing this, those powerhouses couldn’t help but feel regret for San Sheng, and some were secretly pleased.

Since San Sheng refused, would those Yang Six powerhouses choose them?

Unfortunately, those Yang Six powerhouses weren’t Sea King, nor would they keep spare followers; they fell completely silent.

Others, harboring different thoughts, once again delved into enlightenment.

San Sheng did the same.

However, at this moment, something special was happening to him.

His consciousness also paused at this instant.

"Is it you...Shou Heng?"

San Sheng spoke, his eyes filled with curiosity.

In front of him, it seemed there was a circle, an infinite loop.

This circle seemed like a point, like a sphere, like a shape from a higher dimension.

Seeing the traces of Wu Fa and other Yang Six, he wasn’t curious, except for on Shou Heng, where he was distracted by curiosity.

"The so-called Way of Stillness, is it for all things to be still, or for time to halt," San Sheng murmured.

Halting time once, it’s the simplest.

A Yang Five powerhouse can pause the flow of time in an entire universe.

But the stillness pursued by Shou Heng involves all things, all life, Origin Mountain, Yang Six, including the return to nothingness.

When all known, unknown, unknowable, non-knowledge areas, or nothingness halt in time, that’s Shou Heng.

"Your path is the Way of Stillness, hence, you no longer exist," San Sheng said.

To still others, one must first still oneself.

Thus, this state of stillness is quite special.

"You’re right, the Way of Stillness... is the true Great Dao, all being still while life persists."

The Way of Stillness is also a kind of temporal path.

However, it goes beyond the simple path of time.

"Even I, lost between motion and stillness, between the past, present, and future, cannot truly comprehend the Way of Stillness.

That’s why... I called you here."

The unmoving peculiar form spoke.

"Called here?" San Sheng’s eyes filled with confusion.

This calling probably isn’t referring to the present.

"I observe the origin, the future, existing in the past, present, and future, in the final instant of ’stillness’, I pulled a ray of hope into this realm," Shou Heng spoke.

"The Way of Stillness is exceedingly difficult, harboring a grand aspiration for all things to come to a halt, naturally encompassing other equally mighty beings."

Thus, his path is fraught with thorns, and success is perpetually just a step away.

In the final instant, using all his Taoist Divine Power and accumulated depth, he pulled in a hope within the boundless worlds.

This hope is San Sheng.

It can be said that the birth of San Sheng was drawn by "Stillness".

"Your Talent is strong, deserving to become the true ’Stillness’," He spoke.

Stillness is eternal.

Stillness is everlasting.

Stillness is enough to withstand returning to nothingness.

Stillness alone, venerable.

Stillness alone is omniscient and omnipotent.

He, as if seeing, San Sheng inheriting His mantle, obtained Stillness.

All things are still yet he isn’t.

Stillness and action, all lie within a single thought.

The true beings in all realms are wholly under his control.

"Sorry, my path is not Stillness", San Sheng shook his head.

"Stillness" expressed without surprise, "I believe, after you pass through endless eras, you will ultimately choose ’Stillness’."

As His words fell, the so-called "Stillness" vanished and a Jade Slip appeared in San Sheng’s hand.

"Such strong power of time, and... Stillness," San Sheng murmured.

"This resembles a game Jade Slip, does ’Stillness’ want me to, through this object, truly comprehend time and the so-called motion and stillness?"

San Sheng mused aloud.

This game Jade Slip bends time.

With it, he can traverse realms and can also muddle time.

Past, present, future, all are tumultuous.

"Unfortunately, this isn’t my path."

"My path... is Rebirth!"

San Sheng declared.

This game Jade Slip counts as a treasure, even tempting Yang Six level beings.

But San Sheng is indifferent.

His talent, his wisdom, his brilliant mind, these are the true treasures.

"It seems, I need to devise a plan to walk the path of Rebirth."

San Sheng spoke softly.

...

The insights at Origin Mountain soon ended.

Many powerful beings departed dispirited, while some seemed to achieve deeper understandings in Yang Five methods.

"How is San Sheng doing, has he stepped beyond Yang Five?" an elder spoke at this moment, his face full of anxiousness.

The young man showed dissatisfaction, "San Sheng hasn’t come out yet. What’s the hurry, even if San Sheng gains insights, stepping into Yang Six isn’t an overnight affair."

The other Yang Five old monsters didn’t speak again.

They all belong to the lineage of San Sheng and naturally hope that he could step into Yang Six.

Then their lineage could truly... remain unchanged forever.

"What, San Sheng declined the path of Yang Six?"

"Not just one!"

"He rejected them all!"

Hearing this, the beings of this lineage were shocked.

Even the young man was somewhat surprised.

However, his face showed reverence, "It’s indeed San Sheng elder brother, walking his own path into Yang Six."

The others also showed a look of reverence on their faces.

After all, if it were them, they might choose one of those Yang Six beings’ paths.

Naturally, some were stamping their feet in regret.

It was just a bit close, and San Sheng could have become a Yang Six.

In their lineage, everyone would have soared to the skies.

When San Sheng returned, these powerful beings did not say much, facing San Sheng mostly with encouragement or reverence.

Although they still bore injuries which were remnants from escorting San Sheng to Origin Mountain.

But no one complained.

Only...

After an unknown amount of time passed, some idle gossip finally started sounding.

"Returning to nothingness has begun again, even though we strive to stop it, another Universe has perished!"

"The giant barrier built by the Law Immortal Throne also cannot stop the return to nothingness."

"Other than Yang Six, who could face returning to nothingness?"

"Alas, if San Sheng had stepped into Yang Six, our lineage wouldn’t be facing the return to nothingness so helplessly."

"We can only wait for San Sheng... to enter Yang Six."

"It’s just unknown, how long will that be?"

"Will he... be unable to enter?"

"Don’t talk such nonsense!"

Meanwhile, inside a cave dwelling.

San Sheng opened his eyes, his gaze profound.

"The plan is finally set."

"The so-called Rebirth should take Yin Realm, Rebirth Realm, and Yang Realm as nodes.

The first step of the plan, I should enter Rebirth Realm and forge the cycle of rebirth.

Yin born from Yang’s death, Yang born from Yin’s death, all enter Rebirth."

His thought is simple.

To turn Rebirth Realm into a cycle of rebirth.

Of course, it is very hard.

After all, being from Yang Realm, stepping into Rebirth Realm, he will face suppression."

"The second step of the plan, in Yin Realm, Yang Realm, as well as Rebirth Realm, understand all beings."

The essence of returning to nothingness is like the strong hunting the weak, depriving the weak of their right to live.

All kinds of True Spirit annihilation, all kinds of material destruction Dao Methods, he needs to understand and master them, thus, he could truly transfer the people who extinguish True Spirits into the cycle of rebirth."

Thus, he needs to establish Dao inheritance to understand all beings.

"The third step of the plan, let Rebirth succeed."

San Sheng murmured.

At this moment, on the game Jade Slip, a voice sounded.

"The Rebirth you pursue is interesting, not inferior to ’Stillness’, but can you truly succeed?

Walking the path of ’Stillness’, with the foundation of ’Stillness’, you have a ninety percent assurance of success."

San Sheng furrowed his brows.

"You lack spiritual wisdom, resembling a System."

"Can you speak, is it somewhat toxic?"

With a casual wave, the game Jade Slip no longer made a sound.

San Sheng’s gaze deepened.

"Can I truly... be called Rebirth by the world?"

He felt immense pressure.

He also saw, the old beings of his lineage full of expectations for him, he also saw, countless beings dying amidst returning to nothingness.

What he seeks, also needs to understand the essence of all Yang Six.

This is as an enemy.

"Backup plan, if Rebirth fails, then... rely on the cycle."

If Rebirth fails, then ascend through the cycle to resist returning to nothingness.
