522: What is the question of Tao? Fists are the hard truth.
Jiang Yi, who saw through all of this, didn't pay too much attention.
That's right!
Just as they had deduced!
He was indeed going to the Dao Inquiry Tablet, preparing to leave his name on the stone tablet.
This wasn't out of boredom, nor was it idleness!
As for gaining fame, he wasn't particularly interested either.
The reason for doing this was, naturally, for a cause!
He planned to use the Dao Inquiry Tablet to successfully enter the Dao Comprehension Hall deep within the grand pass.
For Jiang Yi!
That place was undoubtedly an excellent retreat!
And the condition for entry was to leave one's name on the Dao Inquiry Tablet!
Now, he!
His Lifespan had already reached over 2.5 million years!
Counting it up!
It was about time he entered seclusion once, to elevate his cultivation level to a higher floor.
As for the so-called great enemies in the outside world, he had no fear, nor did he take them to heart!
When soldiers come, block them; when water comes, cover it with earth!
If they want to kill him, then let them come.
The Dao Inquiry Tablet was not towering, nine zhang and nine chi long, subtly aligning with the Dao of extreme numbers!
It stood quietly in the center of the ancient pass.
The stele was entirely gray, slightly mottled and rough!
But all around it, in every direction, there was an ancient, ineffable, indestructible, and unperishable Dao charm.
It seemed to hint at its extraordinariness, merely sacred and restrained, concealing its brilliance!
On the stone tablet, visible to the naked eye, were lines of names.
Some were given names, some were titles!
Those who could leave their mark were all extraordinary talents and outstanding individuals from ancient times to the present, whose names were recorded in history.
They were Prodigies with unyielding Dao Hearts, unmatched in their era!
Taking recent history as an example!
In the past million years, fewer than twenty individuals had managed to leave their names on the stele.
And of these twenty.
Most had already successfully attained the Dao, becoming Great Emperors and Ancient Sovereigns who overlooked the Mortal World and stood at the pinnacle.
It could be said—
Those who could leave their names on the stele would become Emperors and Sovereigns in the future, possessing the Great Emperors potential.
Compared to his so-called “Great Emperors potential” title, this was undoubtedly more convincing.
Jiang Yi strolled leisurely forward!
Beside the stone tablet, there were annotations from predecessors and sages on how to leave one's name on the stele—
【Use your finger as a knife, the Great Dao as ink, in front of the stone tablet, engrave your name...】
【Go with the flow, do not force it!】
Under gazes that were either surprised, cold, or expectant!
Jiang Yi slowly raised his hand,
“What character should I engrave?”
Given name? Surname?
Or a title?
Or just something random? Something he thought of himself!
He pondered for a moment, then slowly extended a finger and pressed it onto the stone tablet.
His finger was the engraving tool, and the Hun Yuan Saintly Way was the ink!
On the stone tablet, he began to write his name—
“Yi!!!”
One character was enough.
When the first stroke fell, the Dao Inquiry Tablet trembled violently, as if it was beginning to awaken!
An ancient, vibrant, and ineffably profound Dao charm permeated the air.
In an instant.
It dragged his mind into a vast and boundless river of time!
The long river surged, flowing ceaselessly.
It seemed to have no beginning and no end!
Winding and stretching, moving ever forward!
And on the riverbank!
Dimly, vaguely, figures of immeasurable grandeur, whose true forms were difficult to discern, seemed to manifest!
Some were sitting, some standing, some lying, some reclining!
Some held ancient scrolls for contemplation, some played chess, some fished on green stones, some meditated in the starry sky, some stood alone on mountain peaks... their forms varied, their appearances different!
The only similarity, the commonality, was—
Immeasurably profound!!!
A single glance suggested they were the culmination of cultivation in the world, Incarnations of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
They represented the ultimate Dao!
They were the pinnacles of the Mortal World, the ultimate brilliance on the path of cultivation.
The moment Jiang Yi saw them!
A thought spontaneously arose in his mind: those figures were all—
Emperors or Sovereigns!
Unrivaled beings from ancient times to the present, who had once dominated an era.
Invincible throughout the world!
Above and below the heavens, only I am supreme!
At the same time!
The instant he put his brush to the stele!
Those ancient and modern unrivaled beings, as if sensing something, all looked towards him.
A supreme Daoist standing on a mountain peak!
Spoke first, like a celestial sound, his voice like a great bell, reverberating across endless time and space,
“What—is—the—Dao?”
As soon as the words were uttered!
Heaven and Earth shook violently, and the myriad Dao roared!
It also echoed in the deepest part of Jiang Yi's Soul, as if it was a profound questioning reaching the depths of his spirit.
Asking him?
In his ears, the myriad Dao resonated, like a mountain roar and a sea surge.
They were influencing his mind, trying to sway his thoughts!
“The Dao is the beginning, and also the end!”
Jiang Yi spoke, responding!
At these words!
The supreme Daoist on the mountain peak fell silent, and Heaven and Earth instantly became calm, the myriad sounds hushed, returning to tranquility.
However, the next moment—
A supreme Daoist playing chess looked up!
A gentle smile on his face, he looked towards Jiang Yi from afar and softly spoke,
“What... is the Dao?”
His voice was like a gentle breeze, capable of soothing the emotions of living beings, bringing them peace.
But this, too, was a deep questioning reaching the depths of his spirit, asking for his profound understanding of the Dao!
“The Dao is both void and real!”
After responding!
The chess player fell silent, no longer speaking, only gently placing a chess piece... Vaguely!
He heard a “snap” sound, coming from the endless Void Realm.
Life is like a game of chess, no regrets after placing a piece!
Before he could ponder further—
A figure sitting on a green stone, wearing a straw cloak, had already looked towards him.
He held a fishing rod, his back slightly bent, like an aged old man.
However, the place where he was fishing—
Was that ceaselessly flowing, vast and mighty river of time!
“What is the Dao?”
His voice was old and weathered, yet it revealed a mysterious sense of leisure and contentment.
“The Dao is freedom, it is unrestrained!”
The old man's figure seemed to hear this, smiling faintly and nodding his head.
“What is the Dao?”
Another unrivaled, supreme Daoist inquired from across time and space.
Jiang Yi was silent for a moment, then responded again!
This was like an endless, unceasing cycle of repetition.
Constantly rotating in questions and answers!
Accompanied by the celestial sound of the Great Dao, the Laws of the myriad Dao swirling, the whispers of the ancients, the calm responses of the peaceful ones... Mysteriously—
Jiang Yi felt as if he was a prisoner in a cage, being interrogated back and forth.
It seemed something was binding him?
Attempting to confine his thoughts!
No! That's not right!
“What is the Dao?”
From the endless time and space, yet another question came!
“The Dao?!!!”
Jiang Yi suddenly looked up, his eyes cold, staring straight ahead!
Facing those so-called ancient and modern unrivaled beings, across layers of dark time and space—
Gazing at each other from afar!
“The Dao! Is me, and I! Am the Dao!”
“The Dao, I see it, therefore it exists; I do not see it, therefore it does not exist!”
“Boom!!!”
Jiang Yi threw a punch, shattering everything; the Hun Yuan Saintly Way soared into the sky, his Qi reaching the heavens.
He was throwing punches!
Daring to throw punches at ancient and modern unrivaled beings!
Questions and such were all illusory; only the fist in his hand was real.
Only the fist was the true hard truth!
In the face of an iron fist, everything would be utterly shattered.
He, only believed in himself!
