Chapter 600: The Realm of Fusion (Part 2)

Li Mu closed his eyes and concentrated, immersed in the deep ocean of chaotic Taoism, feeling the disorder in chaos and the primitive, chaotic essence of all things before they were born.

Li Mu looks at this chaotic space from a new perspective. He no longer regards it as an obstacle, but integrates into it, feels its pulse and rhythm, and goes deep into its chaotic laws.

Along the way from the stage of Qi refining, foundation building, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, spirit transformation, and void refining, Li Mu relied very little on his own practice. Most of the time, he relied on his innate magical power - plant energy to absorb and improve.

My understanding of spiritual practice is not profound.

Stopping the Condensation and Refining of the Void Dharma Domain and raising the Chaos Dao Sutra to perfection, he still could not break through to the next realm - the Fusion Realm. At this time, Li Mu had to start practicing in seclusion to understand the meaning of the Tao.

Through playing chess with Chen Daojun and Feng Daojun, obtaining their guidance, and communicating with Qingyangzi and Tianshangzun on their Taoism..., Li Mu probably knew the key to advancing to the combined state.

The key to advancing to the foundation building stage during the Qi refining period is to condense the true energy, open the sea of ​​consciousness, and cast the Tao foundation.

The key to advancing from the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Golden Core Realm is to condense the Golden Core, compress the true essence to the extreme, and turn it into a substantial Golden Core. At the same time, the sea of ​​consciousness is opened up, so that spiritual consciousness can be nourished and grown, and the power of supernatural powers can be initially mastered.

To enter the realm of Nascent Soul, the Golden Core needs to be shattered and the Nascent Soul transformed. This is a leap in the level of life. The Nascent Soul not only carries the monk's cultivation and memory, but also can fight without the body, possessing preliminary of immortality.

To advance from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Divine Realm, you need the Nascent Soul to resonate with the heaven and earth, transform your spiritual thoughts into reality, communicate with the laws, and integrate your own will into the laws of heaven and earth to form a unique domain power.

The key to advancing from the Divine Transformation Realm to the Void Refining Realm is to condense the Dharma Domain and deeply integrate one's own will with the power of the law to create a small world of one's own, the Void Refining Dharma Realm. In this legal domain, monks can be almost omnipotent, change clouds and rain, even distort reality, and control space and time.

Then the key to the advancement of the Void Refining Realm to the Combined Realm is the bonding of the Dharma Realm and the Dao, integrating the Void Refining Dharma Realm with a deep understanding of the Tao to achieve the perfect unity of body and mind with the laws of heaven and earth; this process requires not only monks With extremely powerful cultivation as the foundation, it is also necessary to possess extraordinary wisdom and profound understanding in order to gain a glimpse of the mystery of the realm of integration.

However, the meaning of chaos is extremely profound.

It is the fusion of three thousand small paths, yin and yang, five elements, time and space, reincarnation, time, cause and effect,..., these avenues are just a very small part of it. If you want to understand the complete meaning of chaos, and let it merge with your own chaotic law domain , is undoubtedly a vast but extremely difficult task.

There is no shortcut to this path. Only by relying on your own will and enlightenment can you integrate the Dao of Chaos and the Realm of Chaos.

Li Mu gradually realized that the core of the Taoist meaning of chaos lies in "inaction" and "nature". Chaos is not pure chaos, but contains the source of all possibilities and order in the world. It is not only the cradle of the birth of all things, but also the basis of all laws and rules. origin.

Li Mu tried countless times to integrate the Chaos Law and the Chaos Dao, making the Chaos Law the carrier of the Chaos Dao, and at the same time making the Chaos Dao the source of the Chaos Dao;... In this process, Li Mu felt the power of Chaos. The surge of energy is a brand-new power generated by the fusion of the Dao of Chaos and the Realm of Chaos. It not only contains the wildness and unruliness of Chaos, but also contains the order that exists in Chaos...

Gradually, the gaze in Li Mu's eyes turned into a miniature whirlpool, and demonic thoughts suddenly emerged. In a blink of an eye, at the critical moment when he was about to fully comprehend the meaning of chaos and achieve a breakthrough in the combined state, a force pulled him out of the profound world of chaos. Suddenly pulled back.

When Li Mu woke up, he found that he seemed to have had a long dream and was in a familiar yet unfamiliar environment, the company's office.

Colleagues are all sitting in front of their workstations, working attentively in front of their computers.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, there are many high-rise buildings and constant traffic. The sun shines through the clouds and dapples on the desk, adding a bit of warmth to this busy office.

"Brother Li, have you read my document? If there is no problem, I will give it to Manager Chen!" Zhao Haitao's voice came from the side, interrupting Li Mu's thoughts.

"What document?"

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, looking away from the window and landing on the computer in front of him.

At this moment, the computer screen was displaying the details of a new function launch document, which was full of his comments and modification suggestions.

Li Mu couldn't help but wake up, it felt like a different world, like a dream that seemed real.

"You haven't seen it yet! Our Smart City App is a big project this time, and Manager Chen pays special attention to it!" Zhao Haitao quickly walked up to Li Mu, with a hint of anxiety in his tone: "That's right, Brother Li, you're scared to death I’m sorry, didn’t you comment? When will it be fine?”

"Well, I've already read the document, but I need to confirm a few minor issues. You can go out first! I'll hand it over to Manager Chen for you later." Li Mu had woken up at this moment and understood what probably happened. What's going on?" Zhao Haitao said with a smile.

"Great! Brother Li, you are so awesome!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Haitao's face instantly burst into a bright smile, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground; he turned around and quickly returned to his seat and returned to his work.

Soon, Li Mu also threw himself into the work, as if he wanted to finish the unfinished business.

As night falls, the lights in the office gradually turn on, complementing the neon lights outside the window; colleagues leave one after another, and the noise gradually dissipates, leaving only the crisp sound of keyboard typing and Li Mu's steady breathing.

Time passed quietly, and the hands of the wall clock quietly pointed to half past nine; but Li Mu seemed not to notice, completely immersed in his work, forgetting the passage of time.

The city outside the window has gradually become quiet, and only the occasional roar of cars breaks the tranquility. In the office, Li Mu's busy figure never stops.

Finally, after countless revisions and confirmations, Li Mu nodded with satisfaction, turned off the computer, and gently rubbed his temples to relieve the fatigue caused by long hours of work.

When I came out of the company gate, it was already late at night.

Li Mu drove his car slowly out of the company's parking lot.

The speakers in the car softly played soft music with melodious melody, which seemed to wash away the fatigue of the day. Li Mu followed the rhythm of the music and gently turned the steering wheel, enjoying this rare tranquility and freedom.

The video ringtone rang on the phone, interrupting the tranquility. Li Mu glanced at the screen and saw a call from his girlfriend Huang Lingshan; the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, and a warm current surged in his heart.

"Hey, Lingshan, why aren't you asleep yet? Do you miss me?" Li Mu asked gently with a hint of smile in his voice.

"Of course, you are such a busy person and you work overtime until so late every day. When will you get home and I can get you something to eat?" Huang Lingshan smiled softly and asked with concern.

"It'll be there soon. Don't work too hard. Just get some." Li Mu said with a warm heart and a gentle smile. Ordinary days pass by like a white horse, and the love between Li Mu and Huang Lingshan is very strong amidst the busyness and ordinaryness.

Two years later, on a sunny spring day, they entered the marriage hall hand in hand. Relatives and friends witnessed this sincere emotion, and the air was filled with happiness and sweetness.

Soon, they welcomed the little angel in their lives - a lively and lovely daughter named Li Xiaotong.

The arrival of Li Xiaotong added endless laughter and warmth to the family. After work, Li Mu became a daughter slave, playing and reading with her. Every moment was extremely precious.

During his career, Li Mu relied on his unremitting efforts and outstanding talents to gradually rise to prominence in the company. He was promoted from a technical supervisor to a project manager and then to a technical director. He led the team to overcome technical difficulties one after another and multiple development projects. The successful launch has also won wide acclaim from the market, bringing unprecedented influence to the company.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Li Mu has entered middle age. On a rainy autumn day, he received the news that his mother was seriously ill. He and his wife immediately drove back to his hometown, sent him to the doctor for treatment, and tried their best to take care of his mother. Still on a quiet night, with deep attachment to his family, he passed away quietly.

The death of his mother was a huge blow to Li Mu; he knelt in front of his mother's portrait, tears falling silently.

Not long after taking care of his mother's funeral, and three years later, Li Mu sent his father away. However, the monthly mortgage payment made him breathless; as the backbone of the family, his responsibilities were even greater.

In order to allow his wife and daughter to live a better life, and to repay the loan he owed for buying a house and treating his parents, Li Mu worked hard at the company during the day and devoted himself to his own small projects at night, staying up late programming and designing products. , I hope that through my own efforts, I can earn more income and pay off my debt as soon as possible.

The success of his business not only greatly improved Li Mu's family economic situation, but also allowed him to find a new sense of accomplishment and satisfaction outside of the workplace; he gradually developed the company into a large-scale company, focusing on development and innovation. technology products.

…

In a flash, more than ten years have passed

Daughter Li Xiaotong grew up to be a beautiful girl, inheriting the advantages of her parents, being smart, kind and sensible; while Huang Lingshan was still the gentle and virtuous wife, nourishing the family with her love.

Finally, the day came for Li Mu to retire; there was no grand farewell party, just the company of his family and a warm dinner.

At the dinner table, Li Xiaotong raised a glass to pay tribute to his father: "Dad, you have worked hard all your life, and now you finally have time to enjoy life."

Huang Lingshan's eyes shone with tears, full of pride and happiness.

After retiring, Li Mu was not completely idle; he began to learn photography and used the lens to record the beauty of life; Huang Lingshan and Li Xiaotong often accompanied him, and the family either went on trips or stayed at home to share family happiness, living a simple and happy life. .

However, happy times are always in a hurry.

In the blink of an eye, Li Xiaotong has reached the age to get married. If she doesn't get married, she will become a leftover girl. Li Mu goes around looking for a suitable partner for her.

Fortunately, I met a suitable young man on a blind date, and the two decided to spend the rest of their lives together.

At the wedding, Li Mu wore a neat suit and watched with tears in his eyes as his daughter put on the wedding dress, like a fairy descending to earth. He seemed to see himself and Huang Lingshan when they were young, and his heart was filled with emotion and blessings.

Not long after the marriage, good news came to Li Xiaotong that she was pregnant.

Li Mu and Huang Lingshan are excitedly looking forward to the arrival of new life, which will once again add joy to this small family.

After his grandson was born, Li Mu transformed into a super grandpa, hanging around the little guy all day long, teaching him how to speak and walk, playing with him, and enjoying family happiness.

However, time is not forgiving.

As they grew older, Li Mu and Huang Lingshan began to have various health problems.

Huang Lingshan's condition became increasingly serious and she needed to stay in bed for a long time. Li Mu never left her and stayed by his wife's side day and night, feeding her medicine, washing her body, and chatting with her to relieve her boredom. Despite this, Huang Lingshan's health was getting weaker and weaker.

On a cold winter night, Huang Lingshan held Li Mu's hand, with reluctance and attachment in her eyes, and whispered: "You must take good care of yourself and see the world for me. Also, you must help me take care of Xiaotong and our grandson."

After that, Huang Lingshan slowly closed her eyes and left this world forever.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Li Mu has also entered his twilight years; his hair has turned gray and his face is full of wrinkles, but his eyes are still bright. He often sits on the balcony, looking up at the starry sky, as if confirming and exploring something.

Life is like a long journey, with a starting point and an end point. At this moment, Li Mu, lying on the hospital bed, was quietly waiting for his final destination, surrounded by his daughter and grandson.

Looking at his relatives with tears in their eyes, Li Mu comforted them with a smile: "Be good, don't cry!"

Li Xiaotong held her father's hand tightly, tears falling like beads from a broken string, but she tried not to let her sobbing disturb Li Mu.

The grandson's little hand gently stroked Li Mu's cheek. His clear eyes were full of reluctance and attachment to his grandfather. He asked in a childish voice: "Grandpa, where are you going? Can you play with me in the future?"

Li Mu smiled and looked at his grandson, his eyes full of love: "Grandpa, I'm going to a very far place, there are many stars there, very beautiful, but I will always watch you and protect you. When you grow up, you will understand what grandpa means."

As the night deepened, Li Mu's breathing gradually became weak, and his dim old eyes suddenly became bright, as if he saw many things, the good times he spent with Huang Lingshan, the bits and pieces of his daughter's growth, and the childish smile of his grandson... All of this was replayed in his mind like a movie.

When the first ray of morning light shone through the curtains and into the ward, Li Mu gently closed his eyes with a satisfied smile on his lips.

However, with the death of Li Mu, the crying people in front of the bed, and even the entire ward and hospital, were like bubbles, shattered and dissipated, as if all of this was just a fragment of a dream. With the death of Li Mu, the sense of reality also dissipated, and even the whole world became blurred and distant.

In the chaotic space, Li Mu opened his eyes, and his chaotic pupils had a hint of humanity. His calm face flashed a hint of sadness, as if he had experienced a spiritual journey, and the gap in his state of mind was filled. (End of this chapter)
