Chapter 833: Nothingness
The river of fate, the river of fate that could only be spied after he entered the Taishang, flowed slowly with an irresistible trend. But it doesn't go in any exact direction or in the future or in the past. Its flow is a trend – a trend that keeps moving forward.
Everyone's destiny is driven forward by this trend, and in a sense, destiny is a given, a fate. Because when we are based on the present and look into the distance of that trend, we will realize that the development of destiny will eventually touch some people and things. This trend is slow and strong, and mortals have little ability to change it.
If they don't know their fate, they will be greeted with surprise or horror after surprise. If you know, you can only sigh in vain after trying to "fate".
However, after spying on the flow of this fate, a strong person like Li Yunxin realized that change was not impossible to achieve, but it required too much strength.
The flow of his own fate is tied to others. One tributary may not be enough to change its fate, but when it is numerous and strong enough, the terrible trend will slowly turn around.
He also knew that once this direction was changed, it would take the same difficult process to change it again. Thus he was to be frightened, and to be careful and cautious to dissociate himself from all tributaries that might be adverse, so that he could see the present course of his destiny. For example, a weak and powerless man harnesses a wild beast with infinite brute strength, and has to control it in every possible way in order to get it through a small door a kilometer away.
Behind the door, that's what he wants.
Among the many powerful tributaries that affect his fate, the Red Lady's one has long been entangled with him.
He had thought about dissociating himself from her once and for all—when he didn't know the terrible fate and hadn't seen the torrent yet. For now, he's glad he didn't. If he does, I'm afraid that he can't sort out between the two, and his future will become uncontrollable.
This tributary of the fate of clinging to ghost cultivation was extremely violent, like a river rushing in a deep stream. Every time I feel like I love and hate, I make the river more turbulent. The obsession of ghost cultivation makes it unpredictable and becomes a terrifying uncontrollable factor.
Originally, he used her as a tool to achieve his goals. Even when some kind of throbbing occurred in his heart not long ago, he did not know whether it was the throbbing of a self-sacrificing instrument or the throbbing of a person.
He was anxious to get rid of the emotion that overwhelmed him, so he planned to end the matter in Penglai.
- Reshape a powerful Nether Body for the Red Lady and free her from the threat of being devoured by the Dragon Soul. When he repays her, he can tell her...... There's no need for you to have to choose me.
But soon, when he was promoted to the Taishang, he realized that it was not a good idea.
The red lady, who was originally a fish demon, became a ghost cultivator and has an obsession. Later, this obsessive ghost cultivator fused with the dragon soul, and the obsession became stronger. And now this time, this ghost cultivator dies again, and if she condenses the body of the netherworld, she will become a ghost cultivator among ghost cultivators.
That means that her obsession will be far stronger than it is now, ten, or a hundred times, and it will tightly imprison the flow of his fate.
There should be many people who can't ask for this kind of confinement - such as men and women who are in love. Their destinies are inseparable, which means that they will be closely linked for the rest of their lives, for better or for worse.
But Li Yunxin knew from the beginning that this kind of bond due to the obsession of ghost cultivation was not a normal state.
The existence of ghost cultivators in the world is actually very similar to a big dream. In dreams, they may also have keen perception and waking insight. However, the mind will also be uncontrolled, obsessed with something or someone for no reason.
A mortal with a loved one, the other half, may forget that person completely in a dream and show unreserved love for the other person who appears in the dream. But once he wakes up from a dream, he will feel incredible about the decisions he made and the things he experienced in the dream.
Li Yunxin felt that until now, he didn't know what kind of emotion he belonged to for the red lady. But even if it is clear, she will never open her heart when she is in such an obsessive state. Because from the world's point of view, that means "taking advantage of the danger of others" - there is no essential difference from those who are drugged and poisoned in exchange for the opportunity to "kiss and be fragrant".
He wants to...... Give fate a chance, give this red lady a chance.
If he was braver, he would give himself a chance, even if he didn't know if he wanted it or not.
He will resurrect her. Resurrection in the truest sense of the word.
It is not difficult for him to die and then live and retain his sanity today. When he was in a low realm, he had done it once in this Wei City. However, if a person dies first, there is no way to preserve it, and only the remnant soul is left, and then it is extremely difficult to complete the remnant soul.
He didn't know if anyone had done it before, but he wanted to give it a try.
So Li Yunxin sighed and took a step. appeared on the edge of the cave.
Dongting has also rejuvenated. The snow and ice melted, and it became a vast resurgence. This place was once unrecognizable because of Kunwuzi's blow, and then it was poisoned by the monks who came from Xuanmen and almost died. As for the surrounding Baishui Town and Bailuzhou, they are also unpopulated and covered with withered grass.
He walked for a moment along the edge of the lake, which had become muddy from the first melting of snow, and slowly made out some of the places he had come from. When I raised my eyes and looked into the distance, I saw that Junshan was also half shorter. Half of the beautiful mountain was destroyed by the lightning strike that day, and now it looks like Turtle Mountain.
The Red Lady once died in this area. He tried to find the things she had lost from around here.
A part of the soul of a man and a demon is fused with the physical body, and it stands to reason that it should remain in the physical body. The banshee is dead, and the original body should rot. But the dissipation of decay is not a complete disappearance, but it is time to merge into this world.
Is it possible to recover the scattered things?
If you can do that, you will have your body restored.
He felt that he was slowly gaining some clue, and sat down cross-legged on a boulder by the lake.
Bai Yunxin's footsteps are not as fast as his, but after these days, it is time to return to Jinpeng's side. She would tell the king of the Taishang Peng everything she had seen, so that he would know that the Taishang was the Taishang of the Netherworld.
The Taishang Realm, which was condensed by the Netherworld's body, now looks nothing unusual in the middle land. This was because what Li Yunxin had done along the way was extremely insignificant in terms of the majestic Netherworld power in his body. But if you really fight against a strong man like Jinpeng, you will mobilize a huge amount of power. Maybe the two will win and lose each other at first, but after a long time, Jin Peng can replenish himself with the aura of heaven and earth, but he can only eat the old book - it should be a losing situation.
However, this situation only exists in theory - if it really drags on to the point where Li Yunxin is defeated due to the "exhaustion of the power of the netherworld in his body", this Zhonglu will be almost destroyed. It would be a situation where mountains and rivers are turned upside down, lava is boiling, and there is no living life in the world. For Jinpeng, what is the difference between this situation and losing.
But in any case, Jin Peng should realize that Li Yunxin will not stay on land for a long time because of this. He will run into the netherworld like Chen Feng.
So the war of destruction will not happen. He will still call someone to find Lu Jun. But that's just because Li Yunxin refuted his face against what Yejun did, and he always had to give an explanation to the demons in the world.
Therefore, Li Yunxin waited in Weicheng these days. Because of this, I have a "carefree" time to think about this red lady.
He held his breath and tried to see the Banshee's River of Fate. This time he looked up "against the current", trying to find traces of her past. It went well. For example, her former "river" of destiny has dried up. Leaving something rotten underneath, it should be what she lost.
Li Yun's heart moved, and he used his magical powers to pick up those "fragments" from all over the lake and between the surrounding heaven and earth.
From noon to the end of the moonrise, he had collected all the pieces.
The banshee remnant slept in his sleeve, and he tried to put the pieces together with the remnant.
It's really right.
It looks like everything is easy and everything is perfect. But Li Yunxin sat quietly for a while, frowning slightly.
He instinctively realized that something was wrong. As for the reason, he couldn't think of it. Can't even speculate. He felt that something was missing. But the few things seemed to be far beyond his comprehension.
This made him feel slightly excited, and he realized that if he could think about this clearly, maybe he would open up a new world that he could only peek into after he entered the Taishang.
He tried to retrace the river of fate of the Red Lady, but to no avail. So I tried to look "to the side" again.
As already said, the "river of fate" is just an analogy. This river is actually a trend. But what is beyond the "trend"? What is there besides a deep eternal silence?
He only tried for a moment, and suddenly his eyes were dark and his five senses were cut off. Even the thought of "panic" faded from my heart. Consciousness seems to have escaped into a void, and it seems to gradually merge with that void. But there was still no fear in his heart.
But suddenly a voice rang out: "Come back! Don't do anything stupid!"
The sound was like a thunderclap that woke him up. With just one thought, the nothingness suddenly receded, and there was no trace.
Li Yunxin's eyes widened. Not because of the sudden sound, but because of the feeling of the moment just now. Taishang Xiu is ...... Almost lost!?
What's that!?
And he found that the sun had sunk in the west. How many days has passed?
Then I saw the owner of the voice.
It's an old acquaintance, but I haven't seen him for a long time.
