Volume 9: Star Cave Chapter 47: Those who are born strong are dragons
According to the previous knowledge of the Book of Changes.
The Qian hexagram describes the philosophy of the world's changes by using the changes in Yang energy and the dragon to symbolize the subject.
In fact, dragons are creatures at the upper level of yang energy.
Yang energy is the driving force of all things in the universe.
Everything has Yang energy in it, and the mythological path is to collect faith and Yang energy, and to combine them to become the "omnipotent" divine power.
Then, the divine power was combined with the mythological worldview to form the mythological path.
However, in the operation of all things in the universe, some creatures have a far stronger influence on the outside world than other creatures. These creatures are naturally endowed with abundant yang energy.
People can call creatures that possess this characteristic dragons.
Why were the emperors in ancient times called dragons? It was because the emperors became the leaders of the social group, and the leaders had enormous influence. Moreover, this influence also had certain hereditary attributes, and their descendants were born to inherit this influence. Therefore, the emperors were called dragons.
The existence of things will cause pressure on external objects, and this pressure will drive the operation of things.
Dragons are naturally strong creatures, which are the so-called upper-level yang creatures. They have a natural ability to oppress the outside world. This is why dragons have dragon power and why dragon blood has a strong infectious effect on other life forms.
Based on this, we can define the dragon: Those who are born strong are dragons.
"So I'm a dragon!"
Lu Bai's understanding of himself is clearer than ever before.
When I was born, my qi and blood power far exceeded that of normal humans.
In the era when the earth was still without any supernatural power, it already had the energy and blood like a dragon.
Lu Bai is also a naturally strong person.
If Lu Bai were given a different environment, then perhaps he would not only be as energetic as a dragon.
Instead, there may even be an image of a dragon when they are born, and they may be born with some kind of dragon body.
Taking this innate nature as the direction of development was the most suitable power for Lu Bai at that time.
"If I hadn't died unexpectedly, and hadn't sunk into the Netherworld for seventy-seven years, and hadn't obtained the Ring of Life and Death in the Netherworld."
"Then, the power that best suits me is actually the Way of the Dragon."
"Even though I strayed from this natural path, when I constructed powerful destructive skills later, even though I used the Abyss Original Sin as my power, I instinctively used the Great Red Dragon as my template instead of any other demon."
"Dragons and I do have an inseparable bond."
This impulse to understand the origin of things gave Lu Bai a certain shock.
And an idea arose from the bottom of my heart.
That is to change the foundation and take dragon as one's own essence from now on.
As a creature of the upper Yang energy, the dragon is naturally endowed with a powerful influence. It only needs to constantly strengthen itself. Even if it does not follow the mythological path, it is possible for it to become a sun-level creature with Yang energy and escape from the world.
Dragons are naturally powerful, but that's not just talk.
Most natural dragons, as long as they develop according to their own nature, have the potential to become day-level.
Although it is only a possibility, it is much stronger than other creatures.
Even mythical creatures are not necessarily as convenient as dragons.
This is a smooth road, and there is no such thing as traps or no traps.
The path of the dragon does not conflict with one's own lustful soul, and the dragon also represents strong desire.
Therefore, the Path of Desire can be easily integrated into the Path of the Dragon.
That is to say, on the road of life and death, one needs to make certain sacrifices.
After all, dragons generally have long lifespans and incredibly strong vitality, so they don't actually worry much about life and death.
Therefore, there is a certain conflict between the dragon's path and the path that Lu Bai is currently taking, which is based on life and death as the body and desire as the flesh.
Moreover, even if there is no conflict, this act of changing roads will bring certain problems.
"At least, my traveler system is going to have problems." Lu Bai frowned and calmed down the throbbing in his heart.
"Although given the compatibility between me and the dragon, even if I change the path, the traveler system can continue to move forward, at most the resonance rate will increase more slowly."
"If you start with the Great Red Dragon and continue to improve the dragon element in your skills, this effect will be further reduced."
"It's just..." Lu Bai rarely hesitated. He had no confusion about his choice.
But everything nowadays is not about right and wrong choices, but about right and another right choice.
And because there is not enough information about the road ahead, even Lu Bai cannot see clearly what the consequences will be after choosing this path.
At least in Lu Bai's current vision, both paths are correct and can lead to the exit.
“Although the road of life and death will be smoother, and there is also the Crown of the Netherworld Crown Prince, the Ring of Life and Death, this may be the biggest problem.”
"Is it really that easy to be the Crown Prince of the Netherworld?"
"Erodotus, the Ten Thousand Sleeping Eyes may not have any intention of harming me, but some things, just by existing, will have a huge impact on those who come after them."
"Becoming a dragon may be the best way for me to escape a certain "fate"."
"And this time during my trip to the Star Cave, I was able to gain some kind of mysterious feeling that I had to do something."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the Star Cave is related to many real dimensions."
"It is precisely because of this reason that He can, to a certain extent, gain the power to break free from fate."
Thoughts turned in my mind, and then returned to calm.
After all, you are not standing high enough and not seeing far enough, so you have so many troubles.
Lu Bai did not continue to think. When he could not see the road ahead clearly, thinking about whether a path was right or wrong was actually gambling, and gamblers would not have a good death.
"So I'd better improve myself to a certain level first."
Lu Bai soared towards the next event on the third level of the Star Cave.
"However, from this incident, we can see that the power provided by the Star Cave is, to a certain extent, more acquired." Lu Bai recorded this information.
The first ability provided was actually plant life, a factor developed from the Sutra of Withering and Flourishing.
Lu Bai himself does not have much compatibility with plants. The reason he chose the Sutra of Withering and Flourishing was only because this martial art had the potential to develop life and death.
As Lu Bai became a sage and transformed the True Scripture of Withering and Flourishing into the Mysterious Scripture of the Netherworld and Infinite Nirvana and Rebirth, the plant factors had been almost eliminated.
However, the Sutra of Withering and Flourishing has been the foundation of Lu Bai's power for a long time, so plants, an acquired factor that Lu Bai is involved in, occupies a very important position.
"But if that's the case, then wouldn't the weight of life and death be greater?" Lu Bai frowned. Life and death are also factors that he is involved in after birth, right?
As a result, in the Sutra of Withering and Flourishing, the plant factor was ranked first, while life and death had not been selected until now.
"So, how does Xingku view me?"
Lu Bai was very clear that when he entered the Star Cave, some of his own essence was reflected by the Star Cave.
In other words, the Star Cave has been observing itself again and again since it entered.
The Star Cave provides you with the power to choose in a way that is good for you.
However, because there is a huge gap between individuals and star caves, there are certain differences in understanding of whether it is suitable or not.
It is said that there is such a school in the Star Cave, which says that the force that is most recommended by the Star Cave is the most suitable force for them.
Acting exactly as recommended by the Star Cave is the key to clearing the Star Cave.
However, many people disagree with this statement.
If this is true, then after entering the Star Cave, you only need to remember the power you obtained for the first time, and then constantly correct this power.
But if that's true, then why is the clearance rate of the Star Cave so low?
"Or maybe there is still some plant factor in me that I haven't discovered yet." Lu Bai thought of this.
He was certain that there was no more information related to plants in the Book of Ghost Light, and the way to get started was to go straight into life and death.
The most wrong thing about the plants is that the qi, blood and dragon that follow are all factors that Lu Bai already possessed before he gained extraordinary powers, so the order is actually fine.
"Wait, Lu Bai?" Lu Bai was suddenly stunned and thought of his name. His father named him and his brother Songbai.
They are all from the Mu generation.
"Is it because of this?" Lu Bai felt that this reason was a little ridiculous.
But if we dig deeper, we will find that beneath the ridiculousness, there may be something terrifying hidden.
"The things that Zhenming cares about may be more than I thought."
Lu Bai was thinking like this while exploring the third level of the Star Cave.
I have had this experience before. The difference between the third and second floors of the Star Cave is that the number of enemies has changed from singular to plural.
This plural dragon is different from the previous one which had a group of followers.
Under the mechanism of the Star Cave, followers and their masters are regarded as one individual.
For example, now, oneself and the Hanguang Cave Heaven within the body are also regarded as the same individual.
Therefore, the enemies on the third floor may sometimes even be easier to deal with than those on the second floor.
Because when enemies become plural, the relationship between them can be addition or subtraction.
And on this level, Lu Bai also saw many different "dragons".
Of course, it's not just dragons, but any individual with great influence seems to be involved in the events of the Star Cave Arrangement.
Lu Baineng can learn from this how to better use his influence.
Just because of the influence of the evil dragon, despite having the Dragon Coat, Lu Bai also fought more with these dragons.
But now, Lu Bai has another choice.
[Sin Washing Pool: Going deep into it, you will be struck by thunder and fire, and be struck by swords and knives. This will forge the body of a holy dragon and enable you to better control the rules of the universe.]
This is the place above the clouds that Lu Bai arrived at after jumping out of a river with infinite pressure.
There are white clouds floating around, and only on these white clouds is there such a pond.
This is also Lu Bai's way of getting rid of his evil dragon identity.
