Chapter 30 Learning from the World
The galaxy is vast, and looking up is a sense of eternity.
It's a world where only two people exist. The earth is empty and the mountains are empty, and there is no end in sight to the best of your eyes. Only the evening breeze makes this scene not too quiet.
The tables and chairs condensed by the glimmering starlight are so beautiful that they are inducing to dream, and the cool touch touches the body with a hint of soberness.
Lu Qiming pondered for a long time and said softly: "It seems that these words of Miss Yuwen will naturally be understood when I see Cheng Yuan with my own eyes." β
Yuwen shook his head and said, "That's right." That's exactly what I meant. β
"However, I think the girl was right. Lu Qiming's words changed and said: "Whether it is now, or five hundred years earlier, there is only this one me." Who Cheng Yuan is has nothing to do with me. β
"Five hundred years ......" Yu Wenxuan repeated the word and asked rhetorically, "What about five hundred years ago?"
Lu Qiming was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "A past life is enough, even if something more distant is traced, what is the meaning? Besides, I don't know that the girl and I are separated by two time and space, isn't it better than me?"
The girl didn't answer, she just stared at him fixedly for a long time, and then said clearly: "Red Lotus Karmic Fire, I think you haven't forgotten." β
Lu Qiming slowly put away his smile, as if he was about to say something, but he was still silent.
"The way of heaven is the most fair, merit is rewarded, and crime is punished. She said.
When she said this, she looked extremely sacred and solemn, which made Lu Qiming's heart rise a strange feeling, but this atmosphere disappeared in an instant.
The girl continued, "It's true that we don't have the ability to go back much further, but the boundless karma in you can't go wrong. How much iniquity can be created also proves how much power it has. This is a fact that you and I both know. If you were mediocre in the past, do you believe it yourself?"
Lu Qiming listened quietly, but his expression was normal. He smiled indifferently: "Since the girl also said that you and I don't have the ability to trace the past, then no matter what major events happened five hundred years ago, five thousand years or fifty thousand years ago, what is the hindrance to the present?"
Yu Wenxuan said: "We can't, but Cheng Yuan can." β
Lu Qiming was not interested. He shook his head and smiled: "Time has passed, what is the benefit of knowing? At most, it is just a story from someone else." β
Yu Wenxuan was puzzled: "Don't you want to know your relationship with Cheng Yuan?
Lu Qiming didn't say much more, but smiled: "Could it be that every generation of people you are looking for has a life history that is so worthy of in-depth study?"
"Of course not. This time it was really unexpected, we even doubted ......" Speaking of this, the girl suddenly stopped, observed Lu Qiming's expression for a long time, and then suddenly said: "It's that I didn't understand you in time, it turns out that you don't want to continue this topic." β
She thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't help but shake her head and said, "I really can't understand why you, the authority, are not interested in the slightest thing, even I want to know." β
Lu Qiming smiled silently.
He really didn't care much about the "past" that was too old, but he needed to know the reason why Yu Wenxuan was interested in it - these people were very purposeful and could never be emotional, so those "old things" must be related to their interests. At the same time, Lu Qiming had never even seen the seal, so how could Yu Wenxuan's father think that he and Cheng Yuan "definitely have the ability to break the seal"?
Hearing this, although Yu Wenxuan didn't seem to say anything, Lu Qiming was able to limit the answer to two directions - first, Yu Wenxuan's father thought or mistook Lu Qiming and Chengyuan as the reincarnation of his "old people"; second, as some kind of "material" to break the seal.
At present, the facts are clearly close to the first. It's just that the first one is not necessarily a good thing. But at present, there is insufficient information, and it is not good to speculate too much. Out of caution, Lu Qiming did not continue to speculate.
"That's good. Yu Wenxuan didn't know that he had summed it up so much, she only said, "I was originally trying to warn you not to completely believe what Cheng Yuan said. Now I know you don't need my reminder. β
"Listen to the girl...... Cheng Yuan seems to have the possibility of deceiving me?" Lu Qiming frowned slightly, and said with a smile: "If Cheng Yuan's cultivation is higher than that of the girl, why is there any need to lie?"
"Xiuwei?" the girl shook her head and said seriously: "What I'm afraid of is him, and it has nothing to do with cultivation." For us, cultivation is really an inconsequential thing. β
Lu Qiming listened quietly, carefully analyzing the meaning of her words. It seems that in terms of cultivation alone, Cheng Yuan is inferior, or even far inferior to her. But as Yu Wenxuan said, they probably have another set of criteria for judging strength.
If it was in the past, Lu Qiming might not have been able to understand that there were still other forces besides cultivation. And now he thought about his ability to change the intensity of space, and about his control over Nanlin...... Could it be that Yu Wenxuan is referring to this kind of thing?
The girl continued: "As for me saying 'Cheng Yuan cannot be fully trusted,' I don't mean deception. No one but the true and only God is absolutely right, and Seungyuan doesn't know everythingβthough he thinks so. After a pause, she said slowly: "I only hope that when you meet, you don't believe him unconditionally." β
How could such a ridiculous thing happen? Lu Qiming's eyebrows were slightly raised, but he thought that Yu Wenxuan's answer must still be "You will know when you see him", so he didn't ask anymore.
Except for a few inexplicable words, the way Yu Wenxuan mentioned Cheng Yuan is worth thinking about. It can be seen that she and Cheng Yuan have communicated a lot of times, but they are obviously not close, and they are very wary of each other. In this way, some of the doubts in Lu Qiming's heart can be explained.
"Someday, when you're ......"
Yu Wenxuan only said half of what he said this time and stopped. Lu Qiming looked into her eyes and continued, "How will I be?"
There was a rare hesitation, and she added, "Forget it." Wait until that day, and I'll come back to you. It is useless to say more now. β
Lu Qiming smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Okay." β
He has the advantage of not delving into certain things, not being curious, and not really caring. So he turned to laugh and said, "Why don't you tell me about the 'first thing' of martial arts?"
"It's fine. Yuwen shook his head and said, "I know the direction you and Zhang Dayan are considering, you want to find a higher level of energy. β
Lu Qiming heard the meaning of her words, frowned, and said, "Isn't it right?"
"Yes and no. Yu Wenxuan said, "Look at this." β
As she spoke, she lightly tapped her eyebrows, and the glow on the stargazing platform rippled like a veil at the same time, and the starlight and moonlight gathered, instantly condensing into a pearl of dark golden light - this is a pure spiritual power that is infinitely close to the original energy, and even presents a strange scene that will only be revealed when the "rules of heaven and earth" are embodied.
Yu Wenxuan said, "This is already the highest level of energy in our plane that can help ordinary cultivators improve their spiritual power. You might as well absorb it and try it. β
With her voice, the dark gold pearl slowly floated in front of Lu Qiming.
Lu Qiming put it in his palm, and was slightly shocked: "This is condensed with the girl's own cultivation?"
"That's right," Yu Wenxuan nodded, "The energy in this is enough to make a mortal who has never practiced step into the Mystery Realm, but it is still useless to you." You'll see if you try it. β
"I believe that the girl is, why bother?" Lu Qiming smiled bitterly, and at the same time handed the dark gold pearl back to her.
The bead contains the energy of the Mystery Realm, but if you want to refine such a bead, the refiner will have to permanently lose several times the cultivation of the bead, so it is not worth it. Generally, only before the death of some great cultivators, will the lifelong cultivation be condensed into a inheritance orb as a bequest for the beloved descendants.
But what is the situation today? It's just an experiment that's doomed to fail, so what's the point?
Yu Wenxuan waved his hand and explained, "I have already said that the level of cultivation does not matter. It's pretty superficial to me. The level of cultivation has nothing to do with my strength, it is just an insignificant thing that I attach to my true practice. β
Lu Qiming was silent.
"Not only me, but also useless to you. Yu Wenxuan said.
Lu Qiming was silent for a moment and said, "What do you say?"
Yu Wenxuan said: "Our practice is different from theirs, we practice the rules of all things, the order of the world, and learn from the whole heaven and earth. How small a person is to heaven and earth, and man's cultivation is only a small part of him, why should he care?"
Lu Qiming asked rhetorically: "Isn't what the girl said exactly the way of cultivation that people have always observed?"
"How can it be?" Yu Wenxuan shook his head. She still had the same expression, but she was inexplicably cold.
"They're just talking, thinking they've done it, when in fact they don't really have any chance of succeeding," she said. But we're actually doing it, and that's our own practice. β
"Perhaps. Lu Qiming smiled and said, "If I am really one of the 'we' that the girl said, then how should I do it?"
"We also have a lot of differences, so I can't answer that question. But one thing is for sure, before you start, you should at least make sure that the spirit is one. β
"Harmony and unity?" Lu Qiming repeated these four words in a low voice.
"You cannot feel the presence of your true power precisely because your consciousness is now in isolation from your 'self'. If you can't break this isolation, you'll never be able to make progress. But I've never been in such a state, so I don't know exactly how to do it. You can try it with the method of technical cultivation. β
Lu Qiming was silent for a long time, then suddenly sighed with a smile, shook his head and said, "Listening to this, why is it endless." β
Yu Wenxuan asked, "What's endless?"
Lu Qiming smiled: "When I was still in the family, you tried to remind me of the events of my previous life. As a result, it has succeeded now, but it needs to continue to 'dig deeper'. What if I had to think about 10,000 years ago, 100,000 years ago, or a million years ago next time?"
Yu Wenxuan looked at him for a moment and said seriously: "It shouldn't be that long." But why are you laughing?"
Lu Qiming blinked and bowed his head: "Miss Yuwen, I will do my best to obey the fate of heaven." Speaking of which, are you going to enter the ancient battlefield together?"
He felt that it would be better to change the subject.
