A thick fog spread out and enveloped the whole area, including the huge abyss beside Austin.
"One should strip one's self of desire in order to see the secret of life; therefore, one should regard life with passion in order to see the truth. The manifestations of the secret and the path towards the truth are the same in nature..."
Austin sat cross-legged while he read the old book in boredom. He had a feeling that he was being deceived by the convoluted words.
He was sure the book he held was indeed the Principle of Philosophy.
"Well, I have to admit that the book is indeed very reasonable. It points out the foundation and core philosophy of some kind of law of supreme enlightenment, albeit in a vague and obscure way."
Austin could not help but admire it. The more he read about the Principle of Philosophy, the more he felt enlightened. In spite of its plain text, every word and sentence in the book contained profound hidden meanings.
It illustrated what people needed to do in order to understand the nature of the law of supreme enlightenment!
"'One is the child of the divine law. After one comes two; after two comes three; after three comes all things...'
Well, this explains the fundamental origin of all things in the world. That's awesome!"
Austin couldn't help but clap his hands and shout at the top of his voice when he read those words that were full of wisdom.
Back on Earth, he had already read the Principle of Philosophy.
However, he was just an ordinary mortal human in those days, and his soul power and spiritual sense were extremely weak.
At present, however, his spiritual soul, soul power, and spiritual sense were so powerful that he had surpassed most of the preliminary-grade divine gods.
Today, he reread the Principle of Philosophy in a brand new perspective.
Every word, every sentence, and every article in the book were full of great wisdom and philosophy. They sounded like the tolls in the most sacred temple that echoed in the morning, which were so deafening that even the deepest parts of the soul could not help trembling!
He felt so spiritually awakened that it was as if he was baptized by the contents of the book. It seemed that a new world had unfolded in front of him!
"So this is the law of enlightenment! That's so mysterious yet amazing! The law of mystery is everywhere!"
Austin exclaimed at his epiphany.
Boom!
All of a sudden, Austin found that his body emitted a brilliant light, which looked like transparent colorful feathers that floated in the air. They were so dazzling that the whole sky over the vast land were ignited by the blinding beam of radiance.
The old book in his palm suddenly shook violently. It rushed upward and flew over his head. Then, it glowed with soft lights, which were as gentle and pure as moonlight.
"The highest perfection is like imperfection, and its use is never impaired. The greatest abundance seems meager, and its use will never fail."
A majestic hymn of supreme enlightenment suddenly echoed in the air with great momentum, which made the whole world rumble.
"Wait, I'm not reading. That's not my voice. It seems that the voice came from this book..."
Austin raised his head and stared at the old book that hovered above his head.
A faint shadow slowly emerged from the ancient book!
Soon, the phantom-like shadow appeared right in front of Austin.
It was an old man who was riding a cyan ox!
The old man's hair was as white as snow, and his eyebrows were so long that they extended to his temples. He also had long earlobes which drooped to his shoulders. His long beard reached his knees, and his face was as red as an apple. The garments he wore looked clean and simple, but its fabric seemed quite ancient and fine!
"It's Lear!"
Austin almost jumped up in shock.
The old man in front of him looked exactly like the legendary Master Lear, the founder of Taoism.
The cyan ox carried the old man, and sauntered from the east towards the west as if it was walking in a meadow.
While he was mounted on the ox with his face backwards, Lear recited the contents of the Principle of Philosophy in a clear and loud voice.
"Everything in the world, which has reached its perfect state only seems to be in a state of emptiness..."
Lear's voice resonated throughout the whole place.
"He is not only reciting the Principle of Philosophy, but he is also explaining it. Oh my gosh, he is teaching the Principle of Philosophy right in front of me! What a rare and invaluable opportunity!"
Austin was overjoyed. He immediately subdued all kinds of thoughts in his mind that might distract him, and sat down in a cross-legged position. Then, he focused all his attention and listened to the old man's lecture.
A couple of days had passed.
The cyan ox, which carried Lear, still strolled slowly from east to west, and floated above Austin's head.
Due to special space laws, the space above Austin's head had turned into a vast, endless world. It was where the ox had been walking for days.
Therefore, the cyan ox only walked around a certain area above Austin's head without actually leaving.
Days had gone by one after another.
Lear had repeated the Principle of Philosophy again and again.
Every time he recited it, he would make thorough explanations afterwards.
Austin was completely fascinated with the teachings.
Time passed by more quickly.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed!
Austin was still immersed in deciphering the Principle of Philosophy.
