Dao Equaling the Heavens
Chapter 474 - 59: Entering the Jiang Family, Meeting Jućai

Gu Wen stood at the edge of the deck, leaning against the railing, gazing at the distant sea of clouds.

He asked the nun beside him, "How does it feel? Completely liberated from the Buddha Demon."

At this moment, the aura of Buddha Demon emanating from Jade Sword Buddha grew weaker, almost entirely disappeared, leaving only faint traces.

She had initially refined the Houtu Immortal Position, her every movement subtly aligned with the Heavenly Dao, capable of invoking the power of the heavens and earth.

Upon first meeting Jade Sword Buddha, she appeared like a White Lotus standing apart from the world, untouched by Hong Chen. If anyone had the aura of immortal cultivation besides Yu Hua, it was Jade Sword Buddha.

Indifferent to worldly affairs, pure as radiant feathers.

Leaving the Immortal Land, Gu Wen felt like an empty shell, filled with a mix of Buddha light and dark energy, intertwined.

Looking again, Jade Sword Buddha finally had some semblance of humanity, possessing three souls and seven spirits, vitality, pulse, and a hint of emotions.

The marvel of Immortal Positions, the technique of Great Saints, has the power to reverse the cosmos.

Gu Wen had yet to fully comprehend it; at least he couldn’t make Jade Sword Buddha completely separate from Buddha Demon, nor revive Chi Yu Zi’s three souls and seven spirits.

The only thing he could do was keep Chi Yu Zi by his side, using the charm of the Saint to maintain the state of his complete soul.

"A bit strange, also a bit chilly?"

Jade Sword Buddha hugged her chest with her hands, then released them.

"It feels like not wearing clothes, losing the constraints, makes me uneasy."

"You’ll get used to it gradually."

Gu Wen comforted, Jade Sword Buddha slightly comprehended and added, "In the Cultivation World, the flesh is like clay, can be healed, remolded, and shaped. But the three souls and six spirits are unique; while someone can revive bones, no one can create souls."

"The power of a Saint is different, almost omnipotent. The Immortal Position can let me remold my three souls and seven spirits, and you can make Chi Yu Zi’s soul complete."

"What’s the difference between a Little Saint and a Great Saint?"

Jade Sword Buddha’s eyes were filled with curiosity, the Houtu Position beginning to take effect, giving her some semblance of humanity.

Gu Wen replied, "Essentially the same, only differing in magnitude. The Great Saint is omnipresent, while I can only manage my own limited area."

"A limited area?"

"A metaphor, the Great Saint is an ocean, can elevate water vapor to bless the world. I am a stream, can also elevate water vapor, but hard to bless the world."

"The essence of Little Saint and Great Saint is the same, differing only in size? But I’m still confused, as water differs in its nature, some being fresh, some salt."

"I have an Inheritance Treasure Cave Heaven, within it a self-contained world, though no more than a hundred acres, extremely small compared to the Cultivation World."

"I’d like to see it."

As soon as she spoke, Gu Wen waved his hand, and Jade Sword Buddha disappeared from her spot.

Inside the Cave Heaven, the little nun and the cat stared at each other.

"Cat, entertain the guest."

"Okay, Immortal."

The cat and Jade Sword Buddha continued to stare at each other, without any sound.

Outside, Chi Yu Zi approached, noticing Jade Sword Buddha’s absence, and upon asking, learned she had entered the Inheritance Treasure Cave Heaven.

She complained, "Your Cave Heaven is stifling, the Dao differs from the outside world, I didn’t dare to circulate my energy at all."

Initially, Chi Yu Zi liked the Inheritance Treasure Cave Heaven, considering it a perfect place for secluded cultivation, even a refuge from the legendary great calamity of the heavens and earth.

Yet upon entering, she stayed for only a day.

Gu Wen shook his head, "Defective and lacking, naturally incomparable to the heavens and earth. If it were equal to the heavens and earth, then the Heavenly Saint should have descended by now, forming another great world besides the Cultivation World."

"Creating another world? Would the Heavenly Saint allow it?"

Chi Yu Zi didn’t doubt Gu Wen’s ability but was skeptical about the omnipresent Heavenly Saint.

The Heavenly Saint did not permit resurrection, leading to Yu Hua’s revival being an unsolvable issue.

Gu Wen paused, raising a finger, seemingly communicating something.

"The Heavenly Saint says, an independent world outside the heavens and earth is inconsequential, unable to affect the heavens and earth."

"The Official is quite enlightened, just doesn’t like making exceptions."

Chi Yu Zi mumbled quietly, still having reverence for the Saint.

Gu Wen explained, "The heavens and earth treat all things indifferently, as straw dogs, as do Saints with people."

Upon hearing this, Chi Yu Zi nodded in agreement immediately.

"The heavens and earth are indifferent, Saints are indifferent!"

"That’s not my point."

Gu Wen shook his head, patiently explaining, "The heavens and earth are impartial, allowing everything to follow its nature, hence all things live and die on their own, without a Saint causing death, nor a Saint showing mercy in life."

"This world is like a spherical sky and flat land, poking holes in the sky or digging pits in the ground, however small, will damage the spherical sky and flat land."

Between him and the Heavenly Saint, there was no hostility.

Each had their own pursuits, each their own Great Dao.

Gu Wen wouldn’t care why the Heavenly Saint established the Heavenly Court, as long as it aligned with his intentions, he would go along with it.

Conversely, the Heavenly Saint wouldn’t care what Gu Wen would do after gaining strength; He only wanted the balance of the heavens and earth, order in Yin and Yang.

"If a Great Saint actively did something, then it’s not about anyone, but the heavens themselves having problems."

Chi Yu Zi understood somewhat, realizing the Saint’s impartiality and natural way of the Dao.

"Would you be like that? Impartial and just."

If so, then about the Jiang family...

Gu Wen grinned, "More or less, when it’s something I’m not interested in, it’s none of my business."

"..."

Chi Yu Zi’s expression changed slightly, Gu Wen asked puzzledly, "What’s wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing."

Chi Yu Zi shook her head repeatedly, clearly unable to hide her thoughts. Seeing her reluctance to answer, Gu Wen didn’t press further, directly taking out the Taiyin Bottle, with a wisp of Heavenly Saint’s charm spreading, bringing a myriad of thoughts to the Immortal Boat.
