Chapter 52: Illusion and Reality
Since the two Yuanzun immortals had agreed, they quietly approached Luo Tian. Of course, if it's too close, let alone Luo Tian, even the strange beast may find it. But the two Yuanzun Immortals are the top ten elders of the Immortal Palace, if there is no means, how can they control the scene. Just as the two of them were slowly approaching, they saw that Elder Li took out a mirror. Originally, I couldn't see anything on this mirror, but when Elder Li meditated in his mouth, a scene appeared from the mirror, only to see a person and a beast on it in a bamboo forest, and this person and beast were Luo Tian and the strange beast.
It turned out that Elder Li and Elder Meng wanted to see what Luo Tian was doing, but they didn't get too close, they only needed to reach a distance of ten to twenty miles, so that they could not be discovered by Luo Tian and use the treasure mirror to monitor Luo Tian. When they saw that Luo Tian was actually meditating cross-legged, they were also a little dazed. They didn't know if Luo Tian was cultivating or what he was doing. But in the next moment, Elder Meng suddenly thought of something. He suddenly remembered that before he became a Yuanzun monk, he often entered a state of contemplation and epiphany. Although he didn't know the specific strength of the monk he was following, the shopkeeper told the two of them that Luo Tian was just a monk of the Lingyuan Realm. But now it seems that what the shopkeeper said is not right, because Luo Tian's current appearance is clearly the Shenyuan Realm. Although the shopkeeper deceived the two of them, the two elders did not suspect each other. They thought that Luo Tian had hidden his breath, so he was told wrong by the shopkeeper.
It was precisely because of this thought that the two Yuanzun Immortals were even more suspicious of Luo Tian. If a monk would hide his aura and cultivation, wouldn't that mean that the other party must be trying to hide his identity? However, from this point, it can be known that this person is not Shen Yang who escaped from Aoki Immortal Palace. If it weren't for Shen Yang, then who was this person. And the strange beasts he carries around him are very cute, but they are also very weird. Because from the mirror, you can see that the little beast is looking around vigilantly, as if it is protecting the Dharma for the monk. This attracted the attention and curiosity of the two elders. Originally, they thought that the little beast was just a monk's pet, not even a mount. But now it seemed that the little beast was very intelligent, which made the two elders very excited.
Regardless of whether the monk was a fugitive or not, they were very curious when they saw the little beast. However, according to the analysis of the long-term experience of the two elders, this meditating monk is definitely not a monk from the right path, otherwise he would not have hidden his strength, and he is close to a breakthrough in his state of mind, and it is really a little strange to come to this Tongxuan City to break through. The two elders looked at the mirror, thinking about something. They felt that although the other party was not Shen Yang, it could be seen that the other party was definitely not an ulterior secret because of various behaviors. When the two elders saw Luo Tian's scene, they decided to continue to follow Luo Tian to see what this mysterious monk was doing.
At the same time, Luo Tian meditated intently, and he felt his thoughts drift into the air, and then rode away in the wind, as if they were drifting farther and farther. But Luo Tian really knew that those were just images in his mind, not real existence. However, this qiē seems to be so real, so real that even Luo Tian himself began to lose the distinction between illusion and reality. With the fluttering of thoughts, Luo Tian felt that his mood was changing rapidly. Many of his previous views now seem so naïve, as if he feels that many things that he couldn't think of before have now been figured out.
Luo Tian felt that his thoughts were drifting farther and farther, as if they had floated to a height of ten thousand feet. But at a height of thousands of feet, he suddenly found a small island. However, it may not be an island, but a floating land in the air! This scene made Luo Tian stunned, and he wondered if he was really going crazy because of the change in mood. Luo Tian wanted to wake up, but he couldn't open his eyes anyway, as if this qiē was reality. Luo Tian clearly remembered that he was indeed in an epiphany. But why he saw such a real illusion, he really didn't know how to understand. Since there was no way to escape, Luo Tian could only let his thoughts continue to move forward, and with the approach of the floating island in the air, Luo Tian finally saw the whole picture of the island clearly.
It was a floating island surrounded by clouds, and as for how it floated, Luo Tian felt very puzzled in his heart. This simply broke his trust in many of the laws of the environment in which he lived. For example, Luo Tian knew that the land would never be held up by the air, but this floating island broke this. Of course, knowing that this was just his imagination, Luo Tian was very calm. His mind drifted directly to the vicinity of the island, and only then did he see the whole picture of the island.
The island doesn't seem to be very large, but it can be tens of miles in size. If you look at it from a distance, it looks like a halfway point with the top of the mountain flattened. When he got closer to the island, he found that it was not the same as what he had observed from afar. I saw that in the center of the island was a small lake that was sunken. The surface of the lake looks like a crescent moon, and if you look at it from above, it looks like a crescent moon imprinted on the island.
In addition, Luo Tian also saw that around the island, there were waterfalls that continued to fall. Some of these waterfalls are about 100 feet high, while others are several feet high from the clouds. Luo Tian was very curious, after the water flowed into Yundo, could it be that it dripped directly down? Although he thought so, Luo Tian didn't know what it was like because he hadn't entered the island. Just as Luo Tian was thinking about going to the island to take a look, he suddenly heard a familiar voice. That voice Luo Tian could hear, it should be the remnant soul of the eighth life.
"Luo Tian, quickly collect your mind and stop quickly!" only to hear the eighth soul shout eagerly. Hearing the words of the eighth life, Luo Tian was also puzzled, he felt so comfortable, and he found a strange island, why didn't he go up and take a look. This broke his concept of the whole world, so Luo Tian didn't pay attention to the eighth soul, but flew towards the island by himself.
"Damn, Ninth Generation, come back quickly, or you'll lose yourself. It seems that I can only uncover the soul mark to stop you, I really didn't expect that a soul as strong as you is the easiest to lose itself. Give me back!" The voice of the eighth world came from the air, and in the next moment, the island that Luo Tian was running to was getting farther and farther away from him. Luo Tian desperately wanted to catch up with the island, because it was too much for a monk to explore. But no matter what Luo Tian did, the more desperately he struggled to get closer to the island, but the island was getting farther and farther away.
"Damn, what the hell is going on, I've finally found the perfect place in my mind, I'm going to live there, damn it, come back to me!" Luo Tian's mind roared loudly and angrily. But no matter how hard he tried, the island gradually drifted away, and finally gradually disappeared from Luo Tian's sight. Looking at the island that was gradually moving away, Luo Tian's heart was broken. It was a place he had hoped to find many times in his dreams, where there was only himself and his relatives and friends, there was no deceit, no bullying, no hierarchy and domination. It was a paradise, a perfect place in Luo Tian's heart. But just because of a voice, he lost his paradise, Luo Tian watched this qiē turn into a bubble, and tears flowed from his eyes.
"I, how could I be in tears. I remember the last time I cried was when I was with my father. It's been a long time, it's been a long time, this qiē, this qiē is illusory or real. Also, why am I here, and what the hell is this place? I distinctly remember that I was having an epiphany, comprehending the ascension of my state of mind, but how could I see the scene I had been expecting, no one would disturb us here, because we were in the sky, even the Yuanzun Immortals could not reach the sky, and there was a need for life. I just need to be with my relatives and friends, and I am very content. But why, why did the island disappear again, what the hell was wrong with this qiē!ah, who can tell me what the hell is going on!" Luo Tian let out a bitter wail.
"Luo Tian, calm down. Although your state of mind has improved, your consciousness of self-improvement is too strong, so the state of mind is too high, higher than the realm of Yuanzun, that is not what you can bear now, come back, I want to explain some last things to you. You should know who I am, because you're in pain right now, so you'll be clear. You know who I am, and you know who you are. But you don't know what your future holds. Although you have been motivating yourself by saving Master and Mother, you may be able to feel it. That's not too hard for you. So you feel at a loss about the future after that, and it is because of this that you should know that there is no such thing or person in the world as perfect. You yourself are not perfect, and no one is perfect. Although you are not perfect, you can pursue it, you can work hard. That's probably what you want to do, and that's exactly what you want to do. "Just listen to the remnant soul of the eighth generation.
After listening to the other party's words, Luo Tian gradually calmed down, and he slowly sat down cross-legged, wanting to know if he really needed that perfect place to live his perfect life. At this time, Luo Tian suddenly felt the sound of whirring wind in his ears. In the next moment, Luo Tian suddenly opened his eyes. Just when Luo Tian opened his eyes, he found that his face was covered with crystal tears. And the strange beast in the distance was looking at Yi Qiqi vigilantly, as if he was protecting the Dharma for himself.
"Huh, Luotian, you're finally awake. It's really able to comprehend, it's been three days and three nights, you really treat me as a subordinate, don't you, if it weren't for me, oh, this beast protects the Dharma for you, it is estimated that you would have been eaten by other demon beasts. In the past three days, I have felt several powerful breaths, some of which are of the human race, and some of which are actually of the beast race. It's really hard to believe that in such a place where humans gather, there are still powerful orcs. Alas, why are you crying, are you moved by me? In that case, you use some material actions to show whether it is good or not, I want to eat. Although we are similar to you Terrans, it is okay not to eat for a long time, but in the past two days, I have suddenly felt very hungry, could it be that I am with you Terran, and I have moved the minds of mortals? "Just listen to the strange beast say to himself.
The strange beast said to himself, while Luo Tian wiped the tears on his face, he was a little puzzled, why his mind was crying, and he really cried when he woke up. It was precisely because of this that he was surprised. Could it be that qiē is all real, or is it that I was made to cry by the illusion I saw? Whatever it is, at least I'm out of it now. I have a lot to thank for this. If it weren't for the soul of his previous life, it is estimated that it would be really impossible for him to come back. If you lose consciousness in an unknown place, even if you are yourself, you may end up starving to death.
Luo Tian suddenly had a feeling of being separated from the world, and he found that his eyes on strange beasts now seemed to be different from those of the previous days. A few days ago, the beast in Luo Tian's eyes was so powerful, so powerful that he could only break the net with the opponent with four Five Elements Primordial Stones. But Luo Tian's feeling now is that the other party is not so terrible, and even very cute. Do you like this strange beast anymore? Luo Tian hurriedly shook his head like a rattle, and then stood up.
"Well, okay, whatever you want to eat, I'll buy it for you when I get back to Tongxuan City." But I heard someone, oh no, I think a noble orc said he didn't like Terran food. What's the matter, do you want to eat it now?" only Luo Tian said jokingly.
"Ahem, that, I'm not protecting the Dharma for you, it's been three days and three nights. By the way, you've been pressed in the inn for half a month. Shouldn't you show that I have been here for three days, a noble beast prince, to protect the Dharma for a weak human race. So, even if the food you humans cook is not delicious, this prince can't help but give you face. Let's go, let's go back early, wouldn't it be a waste if the inn didn't spend Yuan Jingshi to live. After listening to what the beast had said, he walked in the direction of Tongxuan City. Luo Tian saw that the strange beast was about to go back to the inn without returning its head, and he shook his head helplessly.
But now in Luo Tian's heart, he is looking towards the epiphany he has experienced. He looked at the huge spatial vortex behind him, and could only shake his head and follow the strange beast towards Tongxuan City. Originally, Luo Tian was very worried about the safety of his master, but now, although he is still very worried. But Luo Tian's mood changed, and he was no longer as restless as before. The current Luo Tian is like a comfortable feeling after taking a deep breath, which makes him indescribably calm. Because now Luo Tian's state of mind already has the premise of becoming a Yuanzun immortal, so now in addition to cultivating to the realm, he can already be said to have stepped into the Yuanzun realm with half a foot.
As soon as he became a Yuanzun, he could be regarded as reaching the top of the entire immortal cultivation world. But Luo Tian knew that Senior Yun had told him that Yuan Zun was just the beginning. Although some gifted monks can become Yuan Zun in a few hundred years, they are not allowed to enter for a long time, whether it is a thousand years or ten thousand years. Yuanzun can be said to be the top of the monk, but it can also be said to be the end of the monk. Only the Yuan Zun, who is one in ten thousand, can break through the almost zero True Immortal Realm. And after becoming a true immortal, those predecessors never appeared again.
It is precisely because of this that many monks rumor that it is not that those people have cultivated more profoundly, but that they deliberately confuse the world so much before they die, so that the Yuanzun Immortals will never tire of it for the sake of that legend, so that they will dream of becoming a more powerful being all their lives. Luo Tian naturally knew about this rumor, but he didn't believe it. Because Luo Tian can now say that he truly understands, that is, the world is not perfect, so why should he force it. Maybe it's good to save the mother, but if everyone does it, the laws of heaven and earth will be changed. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that the heavens were furious, so they punished the monks of the Xuanyuan Continent.
As for that god, Luo Tian finally understood now, that is, an existence in the immortal world that was powerful enough to rule the entire Xuanyuan Great World. According to human understanding, it can be called a force. But according to what the beast said, he was born knowing that there was a master of the fairy world in the fairy world, and everyone must obey the command of the master of the fairy world, even their beast clan. If you don't, the Lord of the Fairy Realm will punish you. That kind of punishment is not like a monk unleashing a powerful move. It's an invisible attack, or another attack. A race may die out slowly, but before you know it, a race will become extinct.
This qiē is only a legend, but the family of the alien beasts, including the alien beasts, has never met the so-called lord of the immortal realm. Maybe this is just a legend, and the beast also said this to Luo Tian. But Luo Tian looked at the sky above his head, and he seemed to feel that something was watching him. It was just a feeling, but he didn't see anyone. Luo Tian thought that he was delusional, so he could only reluctantly enter Tongxuan City with the strange beast and return to the inn.
"Did you notice, the monk seemed to feel something, and he kept looking into the air. And the effect of my treasure mirror is to penetrate the void above his head from here, so as to see the other party's every move. I didn't expect a monk under the Yuanzun realm to have such a perceptual ability, could it be that he had already discovered us?" the two elders also said suspiciously after seeing Luo Tian's every move.
But in the end, they determined that Luo Tian should not have found any trace of them. Seeing that one man and one beast had returned to the inn, they also hurried towards the inn. They originally thought that Luo Tian should not be a monk from Aoki Immortal Palace, so there would be no problem for them to appear in front of Luo Tian. But Elder Li and Elder Meng never dreamed that the monk who behaved strangely would be Luo Tian in the main hall of the Immortal Palace!I1387
