I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Chapter 3665: Chapter 1784: Two Forms_2

"Just now, I was still lost..."

"And now?"

"Now... Bazhun’an, I want to cultivate the Name!"

In the Gui Zhe Ruins, beneath the Ghost Buddha, the exchange between the Number One Sword Deity and the Eighth Sword Deity reached a point of sublimation.

With a resolute declaration, as Xu Xiaoshou spoke, path energy surged wildly around him, naturally unfolding the Way of the Sword Disc beneath his feet.

There was no second disc.

Only the singular Way of the Sword Disc!

Complex enlightenment, brilliantly vivid, akin to Immortals leading the way, or as demonic whispers piercing the ear, penetrated through his eyes and bones, melding with the self, bringing forth the new from the old.

"Cultivate the Name..."

Bazhun’an couldn’t see, yet could sense it.

Xu Xiaoshou had realized.

His realm suddenly began to advance upward from nine-tenths of Super Taoization, with no end in sight.

Nine-one, nine-two, nine-three...

All the way to nine-nine!

He seemed to enter an epiphanic state of "Void Ancestor Transformation"?

In terms of combat strength, there might not yet be any form of enhancement.

In the realm of Dao Enlightenment, there was a substantial surge, with signs of possible cultivation deviation at any moment!

"The Way of Name..."

Bazhun’an himself was an unparalleled genius.

He was reticent and disliked wasting words with ordinary people, as it seemed like playing lute to a cow.

Yet towards Xu Xiaoshou, be it character, conduct, realization quality... Bazhun’an always had nothing but praise and affirmation.

Upon sensing the young man before him, chatting and suddenly transforming, incessantly "acquiring," and what was acquired being profoundly peculiar, causing him to show tendencies of deviation...

Bazhun’an did not exhibit a shred of panic.

Instead, he methodically shifted his role.

He transitioned from being an authoritative answer provider to a subordinate questioner, yet still asked in a manner of controlling from below:

"Cultivate the Name? Isn’t that akin to cultivating the Dao? Harder than ascending to heaven!"

Xu Xiaoshou indeed no longer needed anyone to provide answers for him.

For the first time entering Void Taoism, it was as if being submerged in an ocean of answers, everything was within reach, and he could casually reply:

"No, the Way of Name can also be divided into three: Name, Superior Name, Supreme Name."

Bazhun’an couldn’t hide his astonishment.

Whether Xu Xiaoshou had deviated or something else,

what he spoke was too ephemeral and must be condensed into substance; otherwise, waking up would leave nothing but void, potentially leading to the destruction of one’s path and life.

He began to probe and guide Xu Xiaoshou through questions, confronting him:

"I cultivate the Name; the Name is like a double-edged sword that both achieves and harms me. I interpret Sword Me, transforming into the Two Forms. What is your current understanding of the Way of Name?"

"Name is like the Dao, the Dao gives birth to the Two Forms, so the Name can also transform into the Two Forms."

"Oh? Whence the Two Forms in Name?"

"Name, like a double-edged sword, harms both me and others. Hence, Name, like fire, has the traits of a raging inferno, reducing everything to ashes. Cultivating the Name is thus unimpeded, and cultivating the Name is thus invincible."

Indeed, he has deviated... Bazhun’an frowned and stepped back, beginning to be vigilant, ready to act at any moment, but still able to maintain a calm discourse:

"A single ’fire’ doesn’t form ’Two Forms’, Xu Xiaoshou, you’ve twisted the concept. This is merely a reading of Name as a double-edged sword, not an interpretation of ’Name like Dao, Dao gives birth to Two Forms’."

"No, Bazhun’an, you’re the one who is dull, not hearing my intent... I said, Name is like fire, causing the Name to become violent. Yet I also said, Superior Name is like water, nourishing all things. If used well... the reason it doesn’t compete, thus there are no grievances."

Bazhun’an abruptly opened his eyes wide, the dark surroundings seemed engulfed, and his ears were filled with the truth of the Great Path.

What Xu Xiaoshou spoke was intermittent, causing his heart to be alarmed and cautious, barely maintaining composure:

"Indeed, Superior Name is like water, non-competitive, without grievance, but within the situation, who can truly not compete? You probably speak in dreams!"

"Bazhun’an, you are wrong again."

"Oh?" Bazhun’an had never been negated so many times in his life, yet heard Xu Xiaoshou’s astonishing words once more:

"Non-competition does not mean being without desires or not competing; Wu Wei is meant to follow the trend."

Bazhun’an originally intended to guide Xu Xiaoshou onto the path of righteousness.

After hearing these two sentences, path energy burst around him, his expression changed slightly, even he was on the verge of entering an epiphany state.

He hurriedly suppressed this impulse, knowing that what Xu Xiaoshou said was still empty talk and must be grounded at the roots; otherwise, it was like a castle in the air, sure to collapse at the slightest blow.

"The Way of Name, the Two Forms can be water and fire, but by entering the path with water and fire, they are inherently incompatible and easily lead to self-destruction... Xu Xiaoshou, do you understand water and fire?"

"Bazhun’an, you understand the sword and therefore see everything as a sword, but you don’t understand water and fire, so you assume no one else understands them either... This is like a frog at the bottom of a well."

"Oh?" This time, Bazhun’an suppressed some of his anger, while Xu Xiaoshou spoke clearly and eloquently:

"The Dao has no hierarchy, only order."

"Indeed, an Upanishad merely reaches eight-tenths of the Way of Spiritual Cultivation. Using the Dao of water and fire requires no more mastery than that; it suffices to use its intent."

"Elder Sang imparted to me the Infernal Flame, making my nature restless and my power violent, while the Water Ghost imparted to me the Superior Water, making my body adaptable and my thoughts cunning. While their powers may be lacking, their intent reached a very high realm."

This time, it was Bazhun’an’s turn to be taught a lesson.

Indeed, if one can cultivate to the Upanishad of the Great Path, how can the intent not be profound?

It is merely that Sleeveless and the Water Ghost’s abilities were slightly insufficient to push further forward.

The Dao of water and fire, like the Path of Profound Divine Thought and the Way of the Sword Me... In essence, they all directly point to the path of sealing Godhood and acknowledging ancestorhood.

Cultivate in name, borrowing the Dao of water and fire, transforming into Two Forms.

With Elder Sang and the Water Ghost Pearl Jade leading the way, the path ahead Xu Xiaoshou can wholly supplement with his own realization quality!

"No anger, no anger..."

Bazhun’an felt ridiculed and mocked.

He even wondered whether Xu Xiaoshou was doing it on purpose, cursing even in this state.

But after all, he was decades older, and as a guide, he certainly couldn’t get angry over this. Instead, Bazhun’an had to continue asking:

"Borrowing the Dao of water and fire, easy to speak of, difficult to practice. How then do you, separately from ’water’ and ’fire’, prove the Way of Name?"

"Bazhun’an, I have basically mastered the Upanishad of fire."

"And what about water?"

"Water, it’s naturally complete."

It must be said, Bazhun’an’s guidance indeed served its purpose.

When led to this point and reaching into the minutiae of thought, Xu Xiaoshou, after saying his last sentence, fell into contemplation.

In just half a day’s time, he slowly turned around, his gaze already looking out at the five regions and eight directions, speaking eloquently:

"The upper name is like water, water pervades the five regions."

"I will use half a year to observe the waters of the five regions."

"Entering the path through streams, lakes, rivers, marshes, seas, tasting changes in mist, rain, tides, waterfalls, and floods, stepping into the River of Time, touching the Empty and Dried Realm, comprehending life and death, attaining the mysterious, unifying Yin and Yang, and verifying the Way through Name!"

After hearing this, Bazhun’an’s heart again chilled.

To be in such an epiphany state as Xu Xiaoshou in merely half a day’s time, it’s undeniably strong — to apply that much towards the cultivation regarding ’upper name’.

"Name as fire, upper name as water, yet the Two Forms balance, your name and upper name seem a bit lopsided?" Bazhun’an pointed out the last doubt.

Xu Xiaoshou slightly shook his head, his gaze flickered, and the path energy flowed: "You don’t understand..."

What?

Bazhun’an’s brow twitched as he heard Xu Xiaoshou say:

"The Two Forms can be ’left and right’, can be ’inclusive and being included’, naturally ’upper and lower’, ’high and low’ correspond as well."

"Yet the upper name as water does not mean fire is ’lower name’, and the Dao that generates Two Forms, the Two Forms are not equivalent to the name, not equivalent to the Dao."

"It’s merely cleverly borrowed, used to enter the Dao."

Bazhun’an was indeed taught then, realizing he was too caught up on ’water and fire’, without considering Xu Xiaoshou’s clarity of mind.

"Then..."

With all confusions dissolved, what’s left is no longer guidance, but simple curiosity, even with a bit of seeking advice:

"Name, upper name, you’ve comprehended them, this path may be worth a try, but what about the Supreme Name?"

The concept of Supreme surely emerged from the earlier ’Supreme Limitless’.

Could it be that in this enlightenment journey, Xu Xiaoshou even touched upon realms unreachable by the War Ancestor?

Bazhun’an’s expression changed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xiaoshou turned around.

The Way of the Sword Disc beneath him disappeared, the path energy around him gradually faded, he merely curled his lips into a smile and said:

"Bazhun’an, you have become attached to forms."

"It is because of no competition, that there is no blame... You asking this shows that in terms of realm, you still lack a bit of heat compared to me."

At these words, Bazhun’an’s face turned livid.
