The Supreme God

"The ways that can be walked are not the eternal way. The names that can be named are not the eternal names.

The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth, the origin of all creatures, and the mother of all things.

Therefore, always be without desire in order to observe life's wondrous subtleties, and always have desire in order to observe life's wondrous manifestations.

Both of these are derived from the same source, but they have different names.

This is the mystery of mysteries, the wonder of all wonders..."

Austin was completely immersed in the contents of the ancient book that he was reading.

It was all about the Principle of Philosophy.

However, every word and every chant in the ancient book was shrouded in mystery, containing various laws and meanings.

Comprehending all these laws and meanings would guide one to enlightenment.

As he read every single word and listened to every single chant in detail, Austin felt his astonishment rise.

He was slowly starting to gain a completely new understanding of the Principle of Philosophy.

Gradually, he found that the five human worlds, the deities and the heavenly dragons were also quietly listening to the Taoist chants and meditating.

For five days, Austin stood still in front of the ancient city, shrouded in silence as he meditated upon the Principle of Philosophy.

The bull, which carried the old man on its back, strolled slowly above Austin's head for these five days, as if it was leisurely taking a walk in a meadow.

When Austin was done, his eyes shot open, lit up with a new glow of enlightenment.

Noticing this, the old man burst out into cheerful laughter.

"Young man, our encounter ends here,"

he said lightly before disappearing with the bull.

"Thank you, Master Lear!"

Austin sincerely bowed in the direction where the old man had been standing just a moment ago.

Meanwhile, the zodiac animals were carefully regarding Austin.

"Austin, I find that your temperament has gone through a considerable change. It seems as if you are the very law of nature, and the law of nature is you."

The tiger looked Austin up and down with a satisfied gaze.

During the past five days, Austin had gone through a transformation, almost like a metamorphosis.

The luminescence of Taoism was like faint moonlight on his body, making him look extremely free and at ease.

Austin could also feel a significant increase in the strength of the deities and the heavenly dragon in his body.
