The laws is similar to the essence itself.
I don't think a vague statement as "beyond the natural laws, exceeding all limitations" means something else that wasn't stated before (transcendent being above laws/essences) and if it's to argue for the transduality, I find it rather stretched ngl
Yap! I echo this
I agree that the Essences of Daosource cultivators are different and "stronger" than "regular ones" if that's even a thing, but Meng Hao's Dao is his own and shouldn't be a thing that everyone has, except if we are now only arguing for Meng Hao's TD
If I were Qawsed, I would probably say that transcending the whole 4th step cultivators and seeing them as fiction wouldn't grant TD by itself, because it would mean anyone who has a similar context (Seeing something as lower-dimensional) would be granted TD, which seems very stretched.And then there 5th steps who view 4th steps cultivator as nothing but canvas.
They gains TD because they are superior to them duh.
But that's the same problem with 4th step cultivator no? They already are above Essences and Laws, but that's not enough to justify TD.
Being non dual and superior to them is enough for TD bruh
Yeah. The point isn't being above people who have Essences or a dual system, as that's not relevant to TD. You have to prove the person themselves are not subjected to Dual systems, personal or otherwise.
It needs superiority statement regardless, duality is not a problem but rather blatant, it's them being superior.
I am certainly not ok with what is being presented as duality but go ahead and address the staff concerns first
I mean, dualities do exist, even if somehow the Essence description doesn't fit, the Hexes of Meng Hao should prove their existence :
It depends on what you mean by "scan". Those are Meng Hao Hexes and for the most part, they were just simple techniques. It was around the end of the novel that he transformed them from simple techniques to literal Essences that he would absorb afterward to transcend. The following scan is probably the best thing I can show you :
Besides the name? Well, the moment they turned into Essences, his techniques became concepts, so it would mean those techniques became dual natures concepts?
Do you mean what they do? Yes of course, Life-Death Hex for example gives Meng Hao total control over the life and death of an individual (and more depending on the situation). Present-Ancient Hex is about time manipulation, making something ancient on a whim or returning it to the present state etc etc
Well, okay. Regardless. It shouldn't be repeated for the samething all over, if not yet for the scans in the OP then reaching an agreement for duality is definitely cannot be done with any other scan. So moving forward to what can be done is reasonable for me then to not.
Not really. We don't automatically equalize things with opposing natures as dualities unless they're defined that way.
Then I doubt there is anything that can prove it tbf, maybe there is some hidden sentence that says X and Y are opposite but even that wouldn't cover all the problems I assume.
The scan saying that the Daosource exceeded Essence isn't enough?
It's still has issue with it. As for what Qawsed has said.
I already answered him, although he wanted proof of Daosource being beyond duality, something that I can't provide sadly.
