Chapter 1585: I Understand Yet Again! (1)
The dao affirmation of cultural researchers involved the power of laws.
Su Yu's eyes flickered as he contemplated that idea. He said, "I have been hearing the term dao affirmation so many times, but what does it actually mean? Also, can you speculate on the meaning of the term Daofuse?"
Liu Hong laughed awkwardly and said, "You should ask the actual Daofuses, not me."
Su Yu smiled and said, "Why are you so modest, Teacher? You are such a smart man. How can you not know this? According to you, one can attach one's own laws into the existing heavenly laws. In that case, let us assume that the laws are essentially the dao. In that case, isn't the process of Daofuse the same as as the process of establishing one's dao? Is it merely the middle point between the Eternal Realm and the realm where one achieves the great dao? As for the realm of someone capable of actually adding new heavenly laws, can I name it the Great Dao Realm?
"When a cultural researcher forms and strengthens a character, the cultural researcher is merely establishing their dao. In a way, it's similar to warriors where they strengthen their bodies to comprehend the laws. Thus, the Eternal Realm might not exist for cultural researchers as a cultural researcher will reach the Great Dao Realm directly instead of the in-between realms?
"No, that might be wrong. For cultural researchers, they comprehend the laws through their characters. In that case, is it possible for characters to be constantly strengthened until they grow beyond the laws? If that's the case, why are our characters stuck at the Sunmoon Realm?
"Let's put that aside for now. The Three Body Method...involves the cultivation of the past, present, and future. It is merely a manifestation of one's understanding of the laws. The past, present, and future represent three different laws, and the dao affirmation using this method involves the comprehension of three different laws. Upon fully fusing them, one can reach the Great Dao Realm. Is that the case? Following this line of thought, if there is such a thing as the Great Dao Realm, will one cease having three bodies upon reaching that realm?"
Wan Tiansheng said, "Liu Hong's theory that characters are the early forms of laws gave me a new inspiration. If the so-called Great Dao Realm does exist, perhaps that is the true path for a cultural researcher to achieve dao affirmation. One needs to skip the in-between realms."
"But most characters are stuck at the ninth-stage Sunmoon Realm...perhaps that's because humanity has access to too little daos..."
After a slight hesitation, Wan Tiansheng added, "Perhaps we need access to more laws to enable dao affirmation for human cultural researchers."
Su Yu nodded, "Thus, it doesn't matter if we do it through provoking heavenly tribulations or attracting heavenly rewards. We need more laws for our own comprehension and study. I finally understand why dao affirmation is so difficult for cultural researchers. They simply lack heavenly tribulations and heavenly rewards. It's so obvious now."
Su Yu rubbed his chin as he reached a conclusion, "In short, you need to do more bad things, incur the wrath of the heavens, and provoke the heavenly tribulations. You might also try to form more characters through comprehending the power of laws. Characters and laws...how interesting."
