An ancient voice suddenly could be heard.
“What is life? What is death…?
“If the lives in the underworld do not transcend, then I will not live!
“In the cycles of reincarnation, if laughter does not sound out from the underworld, then I will not die!
“Returning souls, souls leaving to be reborn, your paths go through here…. Why not return?” A rumbling filled the Fourth Mountain, and suddenly an enormous temple soared out toward Meng Hao.
From within the temple emerged an ox and a horse, completely pitch black. Massive ripples spread out from them, and their energy surged. An aura of death spread out from them to shoot toward Meng Hao. 2
As soon as he saw the ox and horse, he began to tremble. He felt as if he were about to fall asleep, and his soul were about to fly out….
“What is life? What is death?
However, before the ox and horse could get close, the ship had already moved off into the distance.
From behind Meng Hao, a sigh could be heard from the Fourth Mountain. “Almighty one, you do not wish to rest…. Reincarnation is the end of the Dao. Although you do not wish to rest, why must you take this person along with you on your journey through your life?” 3
When Meng Hao heard this, his mind trembled violently. The ship passed the Third Mountain, then the Second Mountain and finally it reached the First Mountain. As for what happened next, Meng Hao couldn’t see clearly. Everything turned black and white, becoming two spheres of mist. They swirled around, and it looked as if two pearls were forming inside of them.
Meng Hao looked down at his right hand. There on his palm were two pearls, not corporeal, but formed of mist.
The Black White Pearls floated up from his hand and began to rotate, seemingly containing the secrets of Heaven and Earth.
Meng Hao watched on thoughtfully. He could sense that the enlightenment he had received from the armored old man regarding the black and white Pearls embodied a great Dao. Perhaps it was not the path of freedom, like his own Dao, but it could definitely extend that path further.
“Within this black and white exists all of the worlds that I saw, and all the Daos….
“What is life? What is death…?” Meng Hao closed his eyes. It was at this point that he suddenly thought about Ke Jiusi’s shocking… Soul Divergence Incantation! 4
