I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Chapter 4213: Chapter 1978: Dao Ancestor

"Intent..."

Xu Xiaoshou released the Infinite Silence, simultaneously channeling power to Dao Qiongcang while slowly savoring this direction that completely opposed "my intent" with "others’ intent."

The method of attaining the Dao through the Memory River that Dao Qiongcang passed on naturally contained his understanding.

He didn’t say much, yet it hinted at the meaning behind memory.

Previously, he didn’t know much about the "back of memory," but now, upon reflection, he could glimpse more pathways.

Without hesitating, he spread out an Intention Dao Disc beneath his feet.

When he merely activated this one Dao Disc, the comprehension of intention was instantly aroused, and he slowly progressed forward.

Xu Xiaoshou silently entered the state of Void Taoism and began the path of verification along the River of Intent.

"Intent within my body, materializing into awareness."

"Intent outside my body, externalizing into thoughts."

These understandings regarding intent were long familiar to Xu Xiaoshou.

His consciousness, his spirit, his thoughts, his emotions... all could be encompassed within the Will Path, shaping the rudimentary form of a person as a "human" and serving as a symbol of "spiritual intelligence."

The externalization of intent, manifesting as spiritual senses within the Way of Spiritual Cultivation, capable of "scanning" a wider range of people, things, and events that one wishes to see, hear, and know. For Xu Xiaoshou, this most often manifested as "perception."

And all this centered on the self, radiating outwards, gathering what is gained back into the self.

Starting from a point, spreading outwards, retracting upon contact, akin to a flower bud opening and closing, in this process, achieving what is desired, this is "self," the sharpness of "I" revealed!

"Intent upon others..."

In this direction, after the Will Path reaches the Extreme Realm, there is indeed a wealth of comprehension.

In stark contrast to the former, it blurred the point of self, communicating equally and coexisting in harmony with the intent of all living beings in the world.

It’s akin to simultaneously accepting all the information transmitted from countless points to the "self," where the "self" in "others and self" blends with the light, without sharpness.

In such a situation, a single misstep naturally leads to getting lost like the Time Ancestor.

But if you can still hold onto your original intent, without letting the impurity of "others and self" blur your principles, then "self" will be continuously tempered and strengthened.

At the same time, through the "self’s" acceptance of the "others’ intent," the lines radiating from those points, when gathered together, can be visualized as countless images of "intent," forming the River of Intent.

"Flower bud" is an Intention Diagram of a person.

"Intent River" is the accumulation of these flower buds in the world.

This does not suggest that the "flower bud" is weak while the "intent river" is strong.

Rather, it should be understood that during the main battle, when I lead, one acts subjectively in the style of a "flower bud," distinctly discerning my actions.

When primarily comprehending or plotting, the existence of the "intent river" can provide more assistance than the "flower bud" mode.

"Not fish and bear’s paw, but only if I can control it, can I have it all."

With an understanding of Void Taoism, he steadily advanced.

Such a balanced and non-obsessive approach allowed Xu Xiaoshou, after some thought, to determine that what he gained at the moment was not steering towards obsession.

With 90% Super Taoization, there might still be a path to extreme, thinking that to achieve the "intent river," one must abandon the "flower bud," or enter another kind of consideration.

But Xu Xiaoshou’s Will Path was at 99%, infinitely close to completion, confidently allowing himself to enter the state of Void Taoism.

The reality is that it enabled him to further his path in the Will Path, bringing about a sense of enlightenment.

Clearly, only the remaining "1%" was left.

"This is the final push!"

Inexplicably, Xu Xiaoshou himself felt this way.

His comprehension was entirely sufficient, and the method of materializing the intent river relied not on further comprehension but on a change in thinking state.

And, whether one can slightly loosen the grip on the mind to accept the intent of worldly people, while ensuring not to get lost.

If not now, then when will the Dao be achieved?

Without any hesitation, Xu Xiaoshou’s heartstrings relaxed, allowing his self to blur and expand outwards, while accepting the intent of the Shengshen Continent and the Apricot Realm people he could easily reach.

"Since we’re here, let it come!"

...

"Splash..."

The sound of flowing water by the ear gradually strengthened, from intermittent to melodious tinkling, echoing the crisp sound of a perfectly complete Great Dao.

Dao Qiongcang watched as Xu Xiaoshou merely closed his eyes, and in just a moment, the Great Path Diagram under his feet became dim and indistinct.

In its place was an incredibly blurred, meandering river flowing from a distant sky, passing beneath him, and extending towards another nameless Daoist Land.

Unity of Man and the Heavens!

Initially, the river was obscure, then it materialized into an entity.

Before long, the Great Dao River completely visualized, with path energy manifesting as spring water, and the intent of the people manifesting as stone clusters and images.

Secular illusions, all exist upon the River of Intent.

Desires, greed, joy, anger, sorrow... each consciousness stripped of embellishment, reflected in the Great Dao River in its true form.

Every consciousness successfully contacted Xu Xiaoshou, bringing him visible spiritual tempering and transformation in the strength of his consciousness.

The intent of this world was fully realized.

The width of the River of Intent was stripped, with undercurrents below occasionally surfacing obsessions and consciousnesses not belonging to this era.

Still initially obscure, yet within moments vividly materializing.

"The intent of ten thousand worlds!"

Dao Qiongcang was stunned.

What kind of talent does Xu Xiaoshou have?

With just a word of guidance, not only did he gain the width of the River of Intent, but its depth increased so quickly?

Compared to the Time Ancestor’s river of time, his river of intent was already on par.

Even as time passes, in a certain sense, his River of Intent seems more complete than the Time Ancestor’s, his own, and even the Medicine Ancestor’s Twin Rivers of the Great Dao?
