The endless sea of light (the ancestral origin of vinegar) faded away. Beyond the wide-open ancestral light gate lay an absolute realm transcending both space and time... the Sea of Chaos Dao and the Primordial Egg.
Here, the myriad Daos had not yet formed, and the clear and the turbid had not yet separated. All perceptions of existence and non-existence, life and death, were blurred. The only thing that remained was that primordial vinegar intent of chaos, permeating every inch of "illusion" and penetrating every shred of "reality."
This vinegar intent was neither fragrant nor foul, neither thick nor thin. It was simultaneously the placental membrane nurturing all things and the great furnace melting everything back into stillness and extinction!
