"Damn, I can't think of this time, or failed?" Collapsed on the ground, Zhang Zhiping's eyes looked at the ceiling of the cultivation room with some blank eyes, and the bitterness of the long-lost failure filled his heart, even if it was deep in the soul, he couldn't hide it.

Regarding this last step, he has been stuck for a long time, and he has tried to parse it out many times in succession, but in the end he has failed miserably, even he can't help but be a little shaken in confidence, is it that he is too deliberate? Or must he use the most traditional method in the world of cultivating immortals to slowly realize the Dao, begging to break through in a flash of inspiration?

However, he is by no means a person who pins his cultivation on hope, although he has to admit that luck plays a key role in cultivation many times, but he still hopes that his cultivation can be completely controlled in his own hands, and he can cultivate step by step, and have the most thorough control over every aspect of his cultivation.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiping's inner loss gradually calmed down, turned over his body and found a comfortable place to lie down on the white cloud bed, savoring the taste just now, failure is also a new experience, which made him feel bitter at the same time, but also quickly regained his spirits.

"Forget it, failure is the mother of success, I have finally touched the edge, those monks who are stuck in the late stage of Jindan and have not been able to complete for hundreds of years, there are also many monks, there are puppet remnant souls, I will be able to parse the secret sooner or later!"

Cheering himself up, Zhang Zhiping soon put his mind on the puppet remnant soul again, although he did not succeed in enlightenment this time, but there is the Tao in the puppet soul that can be comprehended and compared at all times, and it will also provide great help to his enlightenment, for any Jindan period monk, it can be called a priceless treasure, he can't let it have an accident.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiping immediately sank his mind into the illusory world again, and at this time, he discovered the changes in the illusory world.

"Hmm, the realism in the illusory world has increased so much again?"

Looking at the surrounding green mountains and green waters, blue sky and white clouds, Zhang Zhiping's face couldn't help but show a trace of surprise, the moment he just came in, even he himself was almost confused, if the original illusion in the world of reality was not even one ten-thousandth, now it is almost one percent, with its illusory projection, at a glance it really doesn't feel any falsehood.

"It seems that I haven't gained anything this time, if I come a few more times in the future, I may be able to enter the Tao directly!"

Feeling everything around him, Zhang Zhiping's mind was suddenly filled with a sense of satisfaction, and his mood was suddenly a lot happier, and he was not in a hurry to immediately check the puppet's situation, but fell to the mainland and began to slowly tour the scenery above.

The countless scenes in the illusory world, some from the images in the jade slips, some from the descriptions in the classics, some from his personal experience, and some from the memories he obtained after refining the monks, etc., a huge amount of information was continuously poured into it, becoming the nutrients for the slow growth of the illusory world.

But all this is still too little compared to the entire real world, and most of the places in the illusory world are actually blurred light and shadow, which makes people see the falsehood at a glance.

However, after this operation, the blurred light and shadow area was much clearer, and he had to sigh: "It really deserves to be the legendary "Dao", a trace of the Dao can evolve the whole world ······"

"Wait!" Zhang Zhiping's movements in the incarnation of his mind suddenly froze, and then as if he realized something, he suddenly rushed to the sky, and began to frantically scan the surrounding scene, mountains and forests, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, continents and oceans, etc., all in his eyes, and the more he looked at it, the more excited he became.

Later, he was no longer satisfied with what he saw, he simply suspended in the air and closed his eyes directly, his mind was connected to the illusory world, and he began to perceive the changes in all directions.

"Hahaha, hahaha, I understand, I understand what kind of state the Tao is!!"

After a while, Zhang Zhiping's incarnation suddenly opened his eyes, laughed excitedly, and fell into an indescribable ecstasy, he understood, understood why a trace of Dao was endlessly changing, even if he urged the Heavenly Instrument around him with all his might, he couldn't keep up with its evolutionary speed.

The answer to all this is actually very simple, many of the sage classics have been clearly stated, but he is blind, deliberately pursuing the idea of the previous life but ignoring the most basic things.

What is the Tao? It has long been said in the classics that it is the foundation of change, the root of all things, immortal, formless, formless, imageless, beginningless, and all-encompassing, and its big has no outside, and its small has no inside.

In other words, the manifestation of the Tao is that everything exists, and everything can be explained and expressed by the Tao.

To give a few distinct examples, the five elements, swords, calligraphy and painting, music, killing, and other seemingly unrelated things, they were summarized by the sages into the way of the five elements, the way of the sword, the way of painting, the way of music, the way of killing, etc., and were named "Tao", they all have the essence of embracing all things, for example, everything in the world is in the five elements, everything in heaven and earth can be a sword, everything in heaven and earth can be drawn out, all things can be made into music with sound, all things can be killed, and so on.

It can be seen from this that any kind of Tao can describe a certain aspect of all things in heaven and earth, whether it is the formation of the essence or the movement of changes, or the summary of it by later generations, it shows that the true expression of "Tao" lies in a certain aspect of the commonality of all things.

This also explains why a trace of the Tao can evolve endless things, he just engraved a certain period of change in the Dao of the puppet old remnant soul, and he can strengthen the essence of all things in the illusory world, because no matter how big or small, no matter how many, no matter whether the Tao is complete or not, from the beginning of the essence, has already represented the commonality of all things.

This point immediately pointed out the way forward for Zhang Zhiping, and he suddenly felt that his countless research memories in the past began to be spontaneously summarized, any direction, the five elements, yin and yang, painting the way, the music way, etc., can be all the things he has studied for so many years can be integrated and connected, as long as he chooses a direction, he can set foot on the road and become a Jindan Dzogchen monk.

However, at this time, Zhang Zhiping discovered a new problem, his foundation is too strong, and there are too many directions for him to choose.
