My body is the Tao

Chapter 460: My Physical Body Is The Dao

"Boom!"

Beneath the ten thousand paths tree, rumbling sounds were constant, and the chanting of scriptures was endless. Those were Laws, transforming into a vast ocean, enveloping this place, dazzling and blinding.

Lin Fan's Primordial Spirit glowed, resonating with them. At this moment, every single Law factor seemed to become clear, visible through and through.

Then, he arranged and combined them, and the golden particles rotated accordingly, like a galaxy, forming star systems.

For a time, Lin Fan's Physical Body trembled involuntarily.

"Boom!"

In a trance, he felt that some "doors" appeared within his body, resonating with those golden particles.

Lin Fan was surprised, filled with a sense of joy, as if he saw success. He began to reorganize and construct Laws again and again.

Thus, he became engrossed, feeling incredibly wonderful. From the most basic elements to profound Laws, it brought him much enlightenment.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, it was as if a large hammer fell from nowhere, striking Lin Fan, causing him to cough up blood immediately and almost shatter into pieces.

He was startled awake. What was happening? Was Heaven and Earth beginning to inflict punishment?

"No, this is transformed from Laws, a manifestation of the Dao, striking my body with its grand power," Lin Fan mused.

He was too engrossed in dissecting the divine chains of order and studying the golden particles, neglecting the supreme principles and operational rules of the Dao.

This led him to focus on a small corner, ignoring the entire Universe. That grand Dao was the fundamental essence; sometimes, specific methods were unnecessary.

Because under the grand power, everything would be crushed.

Simply put, the Dao is formless, without specific patterns or true scale, yet it is omnipresent and unreachably high.

"That was close; I almost turned to ashes under the crushing power of the Universe."

Lin Fan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and circulated a secret art to recover and heal.

Afterward, he snapped out of that state, temporarily ceasing to dwell on the basic composition of order, and instead focused on the most ancient "Dao."

Although the Great Dao was invisible and extremely distant, its intangible grand power could be felt, awe-inspiring.

"But the Great Dao is infinite; it's impossible to fully comprehend it in one's lifetime. What should I do?" Lin Fan pondered.

This was an entirely abstract concept, unlike order, which needed to be constructed, and that wasn't realistic either.

If he could truly discern the entire Great Dao, he would already be transcendent, immortal, and wouldn't need to use his body as a seed.

Lin Fan guessed that even a True Immortal might not be able to fully comprehend it, as the Great Dao is infinite, and there is always something beyond.

Or it could be said that every cultivator only grasps a corner, comprehending a fragment, rather than gaining complete control.

"The Dao that can be told is not the eternal Dao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name."

Although the Great Dao is high above, it is also omnipresent. Perhaps I was wrong from the start; I shouldn't have thought about comprehending it at all.

Lin Fan muttered to himself. Thinking of this, his eyes grew even brighter, as if he had grasped something.

Using his body as a seed, without relying on external objects, directly achieving Immortal Ascension with his Physical Body—perhaps he should start from the inner Dao, changing his approach.

Because no matter how much external Dao is pursued, it is merely imitation. The ultimate goal is to open up the inner world and Treasure Trove within the body.

"My body is the Universe; my spirit, flesh, bones, etc., are the inner essence. One could say that I myself am the Dao!"

Lin Fan looked inward, treating himself as Heaven and Earth, paralleling the Great Universe outside.

Perhaps some would consider him arrogant, ignorant of his own limitations, to view himself as the Great Universe, as the Great Dao, overestimating his capabilities.

In fact, Lin Fan had a certain reason for saying this, because the Human form also has another name—the Dao Body!

As the name suggests, it is the most suitable form for cultivating the Dao. Its lower limit is very low, but its upper limit is very high, almost infinite.

Therefore, among all living beings, most choose to transform into Human form.

"The Human Race is naturally a Dao Body. There's no problem with me saying that my form is the Great Universe, that it is the Great Dao."

Lin Fan's black hair cascaded over his shoulders, and his eyes were blazing. The previous awe of Heaven and Earth was gone, replaced by a rare kind of arrogance.

He sought within himself, paralleling the Great Universe, no longer considering anything external.

"Now that I have an idea, I must act. I will draw the Laws of the Ten Thousand Paths into my body, evolve their forms, and verify them against myself, comprehending my own inner Dao!"

Lin Fan had already understood that the Great Dao has no end, and it's impossible to fully depict and capture it.

Therefore, he could only truly seek within.

"Boom!"

The next moment, Lin Fan acted immediately. He drew various divine chains of order into his body, evolving their forms and aligning them within.

At this time, his entire body glowed, and the Laws within him shone like a river of stars, one after another, almost crushing him.

It must be said that this process was very dangerous. If his Physical Body hadn't been strong and he hadn't had similar experiences before, he would probably have exploded long ago.

Of course, now it was even more direct and dangerous, but it was also an unimaginable opportunity.

Borrowing the ten thousand paths tree, a "darling" nurtured by Heaven and Earth, he observed various Laws, extending and intertwining endlessly.

"Crack!"

Lin Fan's flesh and blood were disintegrating, and various Laws were evolving within his body, causing him immense pain.

This was terrifying and cruel, but it had to be done.

He gritted his teeth and persevered, constantly using precious arts to recover while continuing to look inward, comparing the two.

Faintly, his blood flowed, resonating with the Laws, and his limbs and bones also glowed from within. Those were fragments of the Dao, producing resonance.

As for his bones, they clanged, serving as the framework of the Great Dao, an inseparable part.

…

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Fan woke up, ending the first round of attempts, because he was almost incinerated into charcoal by the endless external Laws.

"I've seen it. My conjecture is correct. The body is the Great Universe, and the internal flesh, bones, etc., are the Dao."

Although Lin Fan looked very miserable, his entire body charred, his eyes gradually brightened, becoming resolute.

Indeed, after verification, this was a correct path, not absurd or laughable.

"A grain of sand can fill the sea; a blade of grass can cleave the sun, moon, and stars. And though my body is small, it can unleash infinite power to break open the Great Universe!"

"As for what the Dao is, there's no need to overthink it. Whatever I want it to be, it is. Everything is the Dao."

Lin Fan murmured to himself, still comprehending, still exploring, believing that his body was the Great Universe, and his inner self corresponded to the supreme Great Dao of the external world.

Finally, all the Laws descended, intertwining to form a multitude of nets, completely enveloping him.

Soon, a cocoon appeared, very ancient and without luster, yet its terror could be felt.

If an ordinary person dared to bind themselves like this, with endless chains of Law entwining them, it would undoubtedly be suicide, seeking their own death.

However, Lin Fan did just that, more fiercely and thoroughly than last time, leaving no room for retreat.

"My Physical Body is the Dao, my Physical Body is the Law, my Physical Body is Heaven and Earth, my Physical Body is the Seed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, with a boom, a ball of fire inexplicably appeared, illuminating endless Dao Profound Truths, transforming into Immortal Fire, and began to roast the cocoon.

To be precise, it was a cocoon, but even more like a seed!

Immortal light surged, Chaos permeated, a momentary boiling, as if thousands of generations had passed, the scene was astonishing.
