I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

The second true body fixed its gaze on its sovereign, feeling itself drawing ever nearer to the heart of danger.

It dared not be distracted.

However, the unknown terrified more, better to wait until everything was ready.

“Then go invite…”

Before the words were finished,

within the Crystal Palace, suddenly a cascade of golden scales glittered.

Following this, the Dragon Apricot Spirit took the shape of a winding Golden Fate Dragon phantom, accompanied by a soft Taoist music:

“The Path is Non-phase, it transcends yet manifests.”

“Without discerning the self, one perceives as the Self.”

Li Fugui felt as if he had an epiphany, his eyes sparkled slightly, feeling that the information he heard through the grapevine was confirmed.

As soon as the Ancestral Dragon Apricot appeared, it unilaterally confirmed the concept of “Dao Infant” with definite certainty.

The Path is shapeless, but to be passed down, it must assume a form.

And if a person hasn’t cultivated to the realm of discerning the true self, does the shape of the ‘Dao Infant’ they see represent the ‘Self’?

With this thought, Li Fugui suddenly stood up, filled with reverential fear, and respectfully bowed to the half-air hovering Golden Fate Dragon phantom:

“Senior Dragon Apricot Spirit!”

Only then did he turn to Lord Shou: “Is the Dao Infant the Self?”

Li Fugui had never seen a Dao Infant; he believed Lord Shou surely had, hence the questions and answers inside the Crystal Palace.

“Hmm…”

The second true body nodded slightly, and thoughts surged in his mind.

The Dragon Apricot indeed had substance, truly a treasure when having an elder in the home.

“Is Apricot here?”

He smiled, gesturing towards the coral Sovereign stage, “Sit!”

The Dragon Apricot Spirit released a sizzle from its nostrils, disdainful to sit.

It had been watching here for a long time, from the beginning when the words “Di Ying Holy Plant” appeared in the conversation between Xu Xiaoshou and Li Fugui.

It came uninvited today, surely because it had lost a wager then; within its capabilities, it would help Xu Xiaoshou a little bit.

Just hoping he wouldn’t whimsically bring up that wager again.

The Dragon Apricot Spirit twisted through the air, too lazy to respond to the nickname “Apricot Darling,” it spoke independently:

“The Path manifests from the void, heartless and desireless, yet full of heart and desire, this is ‘Fulfillment’.”

“My form is reality, seven treasures and five leaks, yet also seven broken five whole, this is ‘Emptiness’.”

“The one who is Empty, their cultivation of the Path is incomplete, having not reached the state of no, nor of existence, nor of final-stage; naturally, their perception of form is ugly, thus the Dao Infant is ugly.”

With this declaration, Li Fugui already pictured it in his mind.

The Great Path is fulfilling, encompassing myriad things; cultivators only cultivate one, two, three… by comparison, this is inherently empty.

Haven’t even fully cultivated the Path, not even having penetrated the great concepts of ‘existence’ and ‘non-existence,’ let alone the issues of the Non-phase or phase.

Compared to ‘perfection,’ it is ‘hideously ugly.’

So, if a cultivator at this stage could see the Dao Infant, would the Dao Infant appear ugly?

Thus, Li Fugui turned his head to Lord Shou: “So, the Dao Infant is ugly?”

No, what are you turning into Gu Qinger now, a parrot or what… The second true body’s gaze swept past Li Fugui speechlessly but was surprised by the content of the words spoken by the Dragon Apricot Spirit.

Indeed!

The Dao Infant is ugly.

The sovereign had experienced countless rebirths, each an oversized-headed doll with short limbs, sometimes even without fully formed limbs, “ugly” was hardly the term!

“But such ugliness, or rather imperfection, attracts countless monsters from the Dark Forest?” the second true body asked.

The Dragon Apricot Spirit didn’t know what “Dark Forest” was, even less what kind of “monsters” these were.

But it clearly deeply understood the Di Ying Holy Plant, another Ancestral Tree, and was just about to speak…

“Speak plainly.” the second true body interrupted mercilessly.

The Dragon Apricot Spirit choked, in the end, had to relent.

Until today, it had also become familiar with the language habits of this era and could explain in the way most comfortable to Xu Xiaoshou:

“Though the Dao Infant is ugly, it’s because your realm is not sufficient, for the Path originally has no phase, and Dao Infant also has no phase.”

“Once you cultivate to the realm of clearly discerning the self, the Dao Infant you see will represent the state you are currently in, it will be perfect.”

Clearly discerning the self…

The second true body heard a familiar phrase,

Clearly discerning the self, Super Taoization, Feather Ascension Three Realms, behold the true name—inheritance from the first level of Ran Ming ruins.

“What is ‘Clearly discerning the self’?” he interjected.

“As the name suggests, it means discerning the self clearly.”

The Dragon Apricot Spirit brought a rolling eye and quickly explained:

“Clearly discerning the self will lead to great Taoization of the self, it is termed transcendence, also understood in human terms as… death, or eternal life.”

Li Fugui was confused, the topic suddenly deepened.

Meanwhile, the second true body was visibly excited, knowing great Taoization implies more than 80% of the Great Dao Disc!

The Dragon Apricot Spirit continued:

“But clearly discerning the self is also a prerequisite for Super Taoization.”

“Without accomplishing this step, you will forever be unable to break free from your shackles, reach final-stage, reach the realm of the Ancestral God!”

Ah?

Li Fugui’s mouth hung open.

So the reason I couldn’t understand is because I’m approaching the realm of the Ancestral God? No wonder I couldn’t comprehend…

Oh precious dragon!

But the second true body caught another key phrase, quickly asking: “What is ‘Super Taoization’?”

“Super Taoization, as the name suggests, transcends great Taoization…”

The Dragon Apricot Spirit was quick to answer, “which means finding the method to escape great Taoization while mastering its power, thus the qualification of the Ancestral God!”

So, does super Taoization equal 90% of the Great Dao Disc, and Ancestral God equals 100%?

Xu Xiaoshou recalled the profound experience when Mang Mountain’s Great Dao Disc was at 80%, feeling he had found his answer.

From 80% to 90%, this span is the process of great Taoization, the quest for the method.
