Chapter 97 Inheritance.

The mother tiger, who went out hunting, was very happy. She finally caught a deer today and could finally have a hearty meal. She happily carried the deer back to her den.
However, she was met with a cruel reality. The smallest cub had died, and the second cub was trembling next to the tiger den. The eldest cub, on the other hand, pretended as if nothing had happened.
As an experienced hunter, she could tell from the teeth marks and scent that it was her eldest child who had done this.
However, she didn't say anything, didn't roar or scold. She simply went over quietly and licked the wound on her youngest child, then nibbled on it, consuming it.
She ate her own cubs and then consumed her prey. She never roared or blamed anything, just silently lay down to nurture the remaining two cubs.
Liu Yunzhi could clearly see a string of teardrops falling from the corner of the tigress's eyes, sparkling and brilliant.
It seemed as if he understood something, naturally, naturally, this was a whole new perspective. Nature is competition, it is survival. Killing to protect one's livelihood, cutting off the task and not cutting off a person.
As if understanding what he was thinking, the perspective then shifted, as if time was reversed. In the last moment before taking action, the biggest of the tiger cubs hesitated, ultimately choosing not to attack.
The mother tiger also returned empty-handed, and in this tender and affectionate manner, the family of four, still hungry and struggling to survive, never walked out of that cave again.
“杀，是一种自然的选择，不杀，也是一种自然的选择，合适的，自然就生存下来，不合适的，自然就会渐渐灭绝。没有什么对与错，只有合适与不合适。”
最终，视角在次转变，这一次，他又一次开始观察植物。
However, this time, his perspective seems to be accelerated by time.
他看见，在很久很久以前，这里是一片大草原的，后来有只飞鸟，拉了一坨屎，里面有一颗树的种子，从此生根发芽。
At the beginning, this tree grew very difficultly, facing winds, sun, and barren land, as well as competition from weeds for nutrients. It withered and died soon after.
But its seed fell to the ground again, rooted again, and sprouted again. It grew once, twice, and gradually, more and more trees emerged, until they gathered into a forest.
They connect the branches together, covering the sky and blocking the sunlight from reaching the whole forest. They sink their roots deep into the ground, depriving the wild grass in the forest of nutrients, making it difficult for them to compete. Without sunlight, the survival of the wild grass becomes even more challenging.
The falling leaves, layer after layer, lock in the moisture in the soil, making the forest a suitable habitat for the trees.
它们，战胜了野草，在这里拥有了自己的一席之地。
Liu Yunzhi sees that, originally, plants also have disputes. All things in the world exist in disputes, and there is no place without conflict. From minor matters to the macrocosmic universe, nothing is exempt from contention. All of this is for survival.
He felt a perpetual resonance of the Tao surging within him, an eternal essence that remained unchanged throughout time. This essence enveloped every corner of the world, as if it were a set of rules in a game, dictating that all things must revolve around it. Those who do not abide by it will be disregarded, for it is the law of survival of the fittest.

"Dao follows the laws of nature~~~"
At this moment, he distinctly heard someone reciting these four words, and his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye vividly saw a dense array of Dao patterns, resembling countless layers of spider webs, spreading across the entire Zhuo Peak.
"This, is the true natural way."
他立刻盘膝坐下，将身心都化成一张白纸，来拓印这些道纹，这些才是真正的传承，他之前只是刚刚入门而已，真正的自然大道传承，是这些前人对于天地大道的领悟，所积累的道纹，那是道的痕迹。
常人一辈子，也捕获不到几条道纹，这拙峰上，却密密麻麻的全都是。如果将这些道纹全都领悟，难以想象会有什么样的成就。
However, these Dao patterns are manageable when there are one or two, and even thousands or tens of thousands can still be memorized. But when they are spread all over the rugged peaks and cover the entire area, how can he remember them all?
He doesn't rely on rote memorization, but instead swiftly activates the immortal divine light within the Dao space, allowing his immense divine sense of a Saint level to operate. With great focus, he seeks to comprehend and grasp the core rhythm.
“大成若缺，大盈若冲，大巧若拙……”莫名的道音在回响，玄妙在现，妙谛纷呈。
渐渐地，他这一次，看见了，他看见了一整片天地，像一本书，从古到今，逐渐演变。
He seemed to see a cat eating a mouse, then a fox devouring the cat, followed by a dog preying on the fox, and a wolf eating the dog. Eventually, an eagle snatched the wolf and met its demise. Afterward, the eagle was also deceased, only to be pecked at by ants. The ant colony was then invaded by mice, and countless ant eggs became a feast for the mice.
Everything in the world, like reincarnation, turns into a circle. Countless food chains, countless cycles turn into countless circles. Circles within circles, circles nesting in circles, programming into a vast network, spanning every corner of Zhuofeng Mountain.
In the end, all were captured by his invincible spiritual brilliance and transformed into the tiny seedling he had first seen, imprinted in his heart's sea.
Thoughts are like raindrops, knowledge is like soil, when the wind blows, Yae gently sways, interpreting the true essence of the Tao.
山巅上，李若愚，此时也刷的睁开了眼睛，看向了刘云志所在的方向，别人感受不到，他与拙峰合一，他清楚的察觉到，刚才，整个拙峰的传承之门，开了一条裂缝，被一个人得到了，那就是刘云志，当然他作为拙峰之主，自然也趁机领悟了那种传承。
不着一字，不落一言，只有一种道韵在弥漫，这是拙峰的根本心法，“道”的传承。
和李若愚所说的自然大道有所出入，李若愚讲的不争，清静无为之道，是草木之道。
What Liu Yunzhi sees is the Dao, just an eternal and unchanging principle, a kind of Dao rhthym, a kind of law, a kind of phenomenon, a kind of game rule that all things must abide by.
Maybe, as the saying goes, when viewed from different angles, mountains appear as ridges and peaks. The heights and distances vary, just like the way people perceive the same charm of a path, resulting in different landscapes.
随着道韵渐渐散去，刘云志有些满足，又有些怅然若失，拙峰传承很强大，是一种道的传承，心境感悟的传承，还有一种心法。
But unfortunately, this was ultimately only his own understanding of the heritage, and he did not truly unlock it. He did not find the Nine Secrets.
