Chapter 178: The Unknowable Phenomenon That Devours the World
One of the five volumes of the Heavenly Book in the Zhuxian World was hidden in the Heavenly Emperor's treasury in the swamp of death.
The Treasury of the Emperor of Heaven is the cultivation dojo of the "Emperor of Heaven" in myths and legends, where he became enlightened and left his treasures in it, waiting for someone destined to come and take it. However, where exactly he has gone is an unknown mystery.
Whether he became an immortal or not, no one knows.
"Here, with the technique of deduction, you should be able to calculate something, right?" After Li He came to the Heavenly Emperor's treasury, he immediately cast a spell and said: "Heaven and earth are infinite, Qiankun borrows the law, cause and effect are the same as in the past, edict!" ”
With the word "edict" came out, the scene of the past, like a movie, appeared in front of him: a young man who looked like Zhang Xiaofan came to the deepest and most dangerous place of the Death Swamp alone, built a dojo, and practiced persistently for many years.
He cultivated the Tao of the "Book of Heaven", but unlike the current Shenzhou monks, his combat power was still above the cultivators of the "Immortal Martial Mixed Yuan Gong".
The foundation is solid, the strength is strong, and the realm is also extremely high, and it is conservatively estimated that they are above the "true immortal".
Yes, true immortals above.
The "Heavenly Emperor" who came to open up the dojo was already a true immortal, and after 100,000 years of cultivation, he finally became enlightened and reached a realm that Li He couldn't even see. Maybe it's a golden immortal, maybe it's Da Luo, or maybe it's a higher-level existence.
All in all, he has gone beyond the world, jumped out of this world, and the limits of what he can reach.
It's not the current Zhuxian world, but the world that included Zhuxian II and Killing Immortals before it was downgraded.
At that point in time, the "Emperor of Heaven" even saw the later battle of the Ghost King on Qingyun Mountain through the timeline, and saw Zhang Xiaofan, who looked exactly like himself. Even, I also saw the picture of Zhang Xiaofan's enlightenment, the strong men of the human race captured the Heavenly Demon King Court and ended the demon race's rule over the Hongmeng world.
Not only that, but there is also the fact that Qingyunmen disappeared in the long river of time, and the ancient sword of Zhuxian was left outside, turning into a "killing immortal".
It can be said that the Emperor of Heaven has seen through everything, regardless of the past and future.
However, there are also some things that he can't see through, such as the edge of the world, a special phenomenon that is devouring the world: at the edge of the Zhuxian world, there is a special force that is eating away at the world little by little.
The speed is very slow, and compared to the little bit that has been eaten, the vastness of the whole world is almost infinite.
But whether it is the Emperor of Heaven or Li He, they all see the crisis of the destruction of the world - the speed of cannibalization is not constant, but with the cannibalization, it is getting faster and faster, which can be roughly understood as how much it cannibalizes, how much the cannibalization speed increases, when one day it cannibalizes half of the whole world, the next second it can devour the other half!
Extreme horror.
Figuratively speaking, in the beginning, it could only swallow one unit per second, which can be said to be insignificant compared to the huge and vast whole world. But in the second it could devour two units, then four, then eight, and all the while growing.
It doesn't take long to do this, and after an hour, the devouring range can be unimaginably large.
"You can't let it eat away, you have to find a way to stop it." The Heavenly Emperor muttered softly, leaving behind a scroll of the Heavenly Book and a drop of spiritual liquid that he had refined, and got up and left the Heavenly Emperor's treasury.
What happened behind is no longer visible here, but after the Emperor went out, he never came back. Because of the encroachment phenomenon, the Zhuxian world has lost the Hongmeng realms and Kyushu, leaving only one place in the "vast land of Shenzhou".
According to the size, 99 percent has been eaten away, but the remaining one percent is unharmed.
There is no doubt that the encroachment has not been eliminated, but has been temporarily suppressed.
"The world is really full of wonders, but I don't know, is that a special phenomenon in this world, or is it the natural rule of Hongmeng Chaos? Or is it the ultimate fate of the heavens and all the worlds? Li He was curious and wanted to go over and take a look.
However, although his cultivation at this time was already very high, it was still a little insignificant compared to the height of the "world".
Whether you fly a crane or cast a spell yourself, you can't reach the edge of the world.
"It's really not good, then you can only open the 'Sky Eye' to take a look!" Li He couldn't help but be curious in the end, and cast a spell to open the "Heavenly Eye", temporarily transforming the "Heavenly Dao" into his own eyes, and probing the edge of the world.
The Taoist "Heavenly Eye" is completely different from the Buddhist "Five Eyes".
There is no distinction between the five eyes of the cultivator, only the human eye, the heavenly eye, and the heart eye, among which the human eye includes all the eyes including the five eyes of Buddhism. The Heavenly Eye is the eye of the Heavenly Dao, and cultivators can borrow the "Eye of the Sky" to a certain extent to see the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth and Man.
However, the Tao is everything, and the so-called "eye of heaven" is actually just a "telescope" for cultivators, not the real eye of the sky.
Because of the way of heaven, there is no need to see the world with your eyes.
The last eye of the heart is more magical, it is a special realm of "knowing everything without looking", some mortals can comprehend, but some immortals can't comprehend it. That involves the most essential "cultivation of the mind" in practice, and if Li He can cultivate the Heavenly Pivot Sutra to perfection and become a saint who "fits the Heavenly Dao", then he can begin to practice "his own mind" and seek transcendence.
Far away, let's talk about Li He's side, after he opened the "Sky Eye", he immediately saw an "absolute void" at the edge of the world.
The real absolute void, no time, no space, no matter, if it weren't for the comparison with the Zhuxian world, which was clearly distinguished, Li He wouldn't even be able to perceive the existence of that "void".
In the void, there are some things that cannot be recognized, wandering, invisible, inaudible, and incomprehensible, but occasionally bumping into it and "biting" the world of Zhuxian can make the world shrink a part - the world of Zhuxian is in the void, just like a piece of meat falling into the sea, constantly eaten by fish.
The difference is only that Li He can't see or even recognize those "fish".
Their existence can only be inferred based on changes in the world, but it is impossible to judge whether they are creatures or not.
"Go see?" Li He thought to himself.
But soon, he dispelled his thoughts: not to mention that he can't reach the edge of the world at all, even if he can, the kind of thing that devours the world is extremely dangerous if he encounters it, and if he doesn't know it, he will be cold directly, and he will lose his life because of curiosity?
In addition, it is worth mentioning that it may be that the "Emperor of Heaven" has changed something, although the phenomenon of devouring the world is still there, the devouring speed no longer increases.
The world is still getting smaller, but that huge volume, even if it is hundreds of millions of years, there will be no obvious changes.
"By the way, Zhou Zhou Xian is taking the path of comprehending heaven and earth, I don't know if he will know something?" Li He thought to himself and returned to Caomiao Village.
