"Contrary to reason, contrary to reason..."
"Could it really be such?"
Yin Shangren stood motionless for a long time before he began to tremble uncontrollably on the spot.
The aged face of Xu Ke was also filled with excitement, "No wonder Mr. Bai always said that I just needed to wait."
"Besides the descent of the Xuanhuang Heaven Path to save itself, countless mortals incessantly embark on the path of cultivation. The process of cultivation is the process of reversing the logic of the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma. Thousands of years have passed, accumulating day by day..."
The Faceless Saint Emperor spoke in a ghostly tone, "What’s counterintuitive is that removing the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma, which seems to be a very simple matter in the eyes of cultivators—the very first step and prerequisite of cultivation—is essentially the same as the ultimate goal of cultivation, attaining longevity."
"It is also about going against the Principle of Heaven and Earth."
Upon these words, both Yin Shangren and Xu Ke’s eyes revealed exceedingly complicated expressions.
Yin Shangren said, "If the Heavenly Sovereign Contrary to Reason were still here, it would not be so easy for the mortals of the Xuanhuang World to defy the Principle of Heaven and Earth and step on the path of cultivation. But precisely because Mr. Bai has perished, the restrictions of the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma’s logic have been too greatly weakened."
At this time, Li Ping took up the conversation, "Moreover, the Eastern Supreme Celestial has seen through the mystery here. With the so-called Spirit Pond Purification Array, he further reduced the difficulty of defying logic."
Xu Ke’s lips moved slightly, and it took him a while to finally utter with difficulty, "When I saw Mr. Bai for the last time, I saw the determination to die in his heart. I have been unable to let go of that for years, but now, I think I might understand a little."
Yin Shangren fell into a trancelike soliloquy, murmuring, "People in the world are all defying the Principle of Heaven and Earth, but after all, this is still within the system of cultivation that passes down the Law. Even knowing this point, what use is there?"
"There must be something we haven’t thought of..."
Li Ping was certain, "The answer should lie within the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma. As for research on the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma, maybe no one in the Xuanhuang World today is deeper than you. I’m afraid we’ll have to trouble you to make some more efforts."
"Although inside Great Kai, there are no longer any mortals containing the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma, it’s not difficult to find some for research from those Small Worlds that have been conquered. I will have people fully cooperate with you," Li Ping said to Yin Shangren.
"Your Majesty, rest assured," Yin Shangren suddenly became excited.
...
At the same time.
Within the space of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortal’s Yan Fajue.
After the Sacred Embryo saw the Ruined World The Wall, Li Fan’s serene heart once again stirred with ripples.
"To again defy the Principle of Heaven and Earth? The Immortal-Ordinary Miasma..."
Li Fan suddenly remembered his experience of removing the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma on Liuli Island within the Spirit Pond Purification Array.
The lava-like hot pool water tortured his consciousness. Even with steadfast will, he eventually fell into a state of ignorance and unawareness.
His mind went blank, acting only on instinct.
Before entering the Spirit Pool, Li Fan, who had been practicing the Xuanhuang Inner Peace Spell day and night, instinctively circulated this method again.
Finally, when he completely removed the miasma within his body, Li Fan inexplicably comprehended the advanced and sublime version of the Xuanhuang Inner Peace Spell.
The Xuanhuang Heart-Refining Spell.
Then it became the Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Spell, which greatly assisted him on his journey.
"The pain in the Spirit Cleansing Pond is unbearable for ordinary people. There is a great likelihood of them falling directly into unconsciousness, and even if they remain conscious, they can’t entertain any other distracting thoughts in such extreme pain."
"Embody the soul, hold the unity, eliminate the mysterious insight, follow nature..."
With his eyes tightly closed, a flash of understanding crossed through Li Fan’s mind.
"Man merges with the Dao. The innate behavior under ignorance and unawareness is precisely what’s closest to the Dao. This might be why so many people in the world are able to successfully remove the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma and defy the logic of Heaven and Earth."
"However, in reality, this is not a complete defiance of logic. The fact that one’s strength doesn’t leap in quality after removing the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma proves this point."
Li Fan pondered thoughtfully.
"This is firstly because they didn’t rely entirely on their own strength to remove the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma, and secondly..."
In his Spirit Consciousness, the aura of the Stone of Transformation flickered as Li Fan flipped through his epiphanies, constantly savoring them.
He contemplated, "When the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma was finally removed..."
"It was as if I had disappeared."
"It was as if it sensed the Xuanhuang Inner Peace Spell I was channeling, and it spontaneously transformed into the evolving Heart-Refining Spell."
"Did it trigger some sort of condition?"
Li Fan then recalled the pre-death images transmitted by the Real Celestial Sovereign.
"The secret of defying the Principle of Heaven and Earth is hidden within the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma."
Before Li Fan’s eyes, it was as if he saw thousands of years of countless mortals breaking the Shackles of Immortals and Mortals, defying the Methods to step onto the path of cultivation.
"The birth of every cultivator has gone through a process almost like a defiance of the Principle of Heaven and Earth."
"Even though they themselves are unaware, this has actually happened for real."
"To defy the Principle of Heaven and Earth is no different than directly challenging the passed-down Law, completely overturning the cultivated system he personally shaped. Mr. Bai and Eastern Pole, such talented beings, also ended in failure. This shows the difficulty. But..."
Li Fan had a sudden realization.
He connected this to the multiple simulations of his reincarnations.
"The process of every mortal resisting the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma can be regarded as a simulation of defying the Principle of Heaven and Earth."
"The effort of one may have its limits. The effort of millions also has its extremes."
"But the effort of billions over endless time is boundless and infinite."
"Before such grand power, the newly created Law to break through the Methods is just a matter of time."
