Chapter 548, What Was Obtained But Was Not
All things depend on each other for survival, especially humans. As social animals, humans cannot survive alone. Therefore, striving to become a useful person becomes the foundation of one's existence.
Becoming useful is a necessity for survival.
Therefore, people should strive to become useful and capable individuals.
but! !! !!
A person cannot simply live as a useful tool or piece of equipment!
How tragic it would be if a person lived in the world and was only remembered for their usefulness, and discarded when they were no longer useful.
Before becoming a useful tool, one must first become one. After becoming one, it is time to cultivate oneself and one's mind. One must never rely on the fact that one is already a "useful tool" and use the "standard of a tool" to confine oneself and measure others.
Hua Changxi believed that he had grasped the true meaning of "non-vessel" as spoken of by the non-vessel deity. For a moment, his emotions surged and his soul trembled.
In the blink of an eye, the scene before my eyes suddenly changed.
The majestic figures of the Golden Lotus of Merit and the Unbound Deity suddenly began to collapse and disintegrate, then transformed into a sky full of dazzling light.
A surge of light appeared, and a grand path, imbued with ancient and boundless Daoist charm but somewhat ethereal, suddenly unfolded in the void.
Looking at the Great Dao that appeared in the void, Hua Changxi instantly recalled the scene when she summoned the 'Mirror of Law' in the Wutong Forest.
Similar Great Daos have also appeared in the Mirror of Laws.
That great road was the path of her physical body.
In this way, it is not hard to guess the great road in front of us—this is the Way of Non-Tools cultivated by the Non-Tool God!
Just as Hua Changxi was still in a state of excitement and had not yet come to his senses, the many living beings around him who were listening to the sermon could no longer contain themselves.
Countless figures rose from the ground and rushed into the void, all seemingly determined to embark on that great path, fearing to fall behind.
Seeing this frenzied scene, Hua Changxi felt an urge to rush up the Void Avenue as well.
The path of a deity is undoubtedly an extraordinary opportunity.
However, just as she was about to take a step, she abruptly stopped herself.
There are countless paths to enlightenment, but she believes that the path of cultivation must be walked step by step by oneself to be truly reliable and effective.
Inheriting the Dao of a deity seemed like a shortcut, but a deeper doubt arose in Hua Changxi's heart.
If she truly follows the path of the Unbound God, will her future cultivation be for herself or for the Unbound God?
In the void, countless beings were struck down by an invisible force just as they were about to approach the Great Dao. Upon landing on the water mirror, they vanished into thin air, just as they had appeared out of thin air before.
However, a few creatures also flew onto the Great Dao and struggled to make their way there.
Hua Changxi observed that each time a living being stepped onto the Great Dao, the ethereal Great Dao solidified a little more. Watching this, Hua Changxi's heart raced, and the words 'Daoist lineage' suddenly surfaced in her mind.
That unadorned deity must have been an ancient being. Although he had long since returned to chaos, his lineage had been preserved.
It is stored in the Soul Well, waiting for the so-called destined person.
Perhaps it's because so much time has passed that his Dao is almost gone.
Now, the deity Buqi urgently needs a destined person to inherit his lineage so that it may continue to exist in the world.
Hua Changxi didn't know if the beings she saw were like her, so-called destined people, or if what she was seeing was just a scene from the past preaching of the deity Buqi.
Either way, she didn't want to stay here any longer.
Admittedly, the resources on Soul Island were very tempting to her, but the purpose of acquiring those resources was for her cultivation.
Cultivation is for becoming stronger, and becoming stronger is for becoming a better version of oneself.
If she loses herself for the sake of resources, then her cultivation will become a joke.
Therefore, she cannot follow someone else's path for a little bit of supplies, not even the path of a god.
After figuring things out, Hua Changxi began to think about how to leave.
Watching creatures fall from the sky and disappear, she wanted to try it herself, but she didn't.
There was no other reason than that she vaguely sensed in her heart that once she flew into the void, she would be drawn to that great road.
At that time, she truly embarked on the path of non-utility.
"Your Majesty, I am fortunate to have heard your teachings on the Way of Non-Utensils, and I have been deeply inspired."
“To avoid becoming what the Divine Lord calls a ‘tool,’ I can no longer follow your path of non-tool. I humbly beg your understanding and forgiveness.”
Hua Changxi shouted into the void.
As soon as he finished speaking, a barely audible sigh drifted to my ears, as light as the wind blowing through withered leaves, and it dissipated in an instant.
Then the world changed color again.
The water mirror, which was originally as vast as the sea and reflected the sky, collapsed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The flowing light in the sky gathered and finally turned into a crystal clear, snowflake-shaped fragment, which gently fell into Hua Changxi's palm.
When she finally snapped out of her daze from the dazzling light, she was startled to find that the scenery around her had changed—she was now outside the Soul Well. (End of Chapter)
