Guan Longzi was silent for a while. Finally, he spoke, "If you wish to forge a new path, there are many great methods of doing so. Your power, my friend, may not be sufficient."
Shen Lian plainly said, "Since that is so, I would like to seek confirmation from Taiyi and gain his power. But there is still an orifice point lacking."
"In the case of Taiyi in Daoism, or Mahāsattva Bodhisattva in Buddhism, their names may be different but they are not that distinct from each other. They are nothing else but the limit of a celestial's path, and then become one's own cultivation. In order to gain the state, one must first have the will, and the hardest to gain in this world is the will. In this respect, I am of no help to you. Besides, even if I can help you, I will not," Guan Longzi replied.
