Chapter 33: The Heart
Zhenxi Tianguan, Zhongzhou New Dynasty, Heavenly Yujing, Xishan Zhenyuan,
These are the words that Takakawa has heard the most since the great change
And now, he has finally reached his destination.
One of the thirteen Heavenless Cities owned by the Terrans, the unfallen fortress that patrols heaven and earth—that's his goal.
In the blazing white traction light, Gao Chuan felt as if he was repelled by the earth, and his body involuntarily floated, slowly rising at an average speed in this light.
Through the pillar of light, the earth he could get under was slowly getting smaller, and the black boulder-like place was gradually becoming only the size of a palm, and at this height, he could even square the post station—it was indeed deserted and uninhabited, and the feeling of a still oil painting at a glance was indeed extremely bleak.
I don't know where Hao Beifeng will go in the future, or if he will have time to have a drink in the future.
His thoughts turned, and he returned to the top of the volley mountain in front of him.
To be honest, Yujing's appearance is completely different from what Takakawa imagined.
Originally, in his imagination, the so-called floating city was just a suspended city, at most a little aura formation or something to support its suspension underneath, and the scale would not be too large, at most it would be the size of Tianguan, and Dingtian would add another protective wall.
But he was wrong.
Today, Takakawa is an upside-down mountain.
A mountain in the truest sense of the word.
The silver mountain was made of steel, even steel, and the huge peak was covered in a layer of warm jade-like aura, and appeared in the form of an upside-down pyramid, suspended in the air, and the blue-purple lines that appeared on it became more conspicuous as the Takagawa slowly rose with the light. Before, I was in the distance, just a line of streamer, but at the current distance, the streamer is a vast river of aura, and countless auras are surging and circulating in it.
The three huge spirit pattern formations that occupied the entire sky enveloped the mountain like a star ring, rotating around a huge beam axis that connected to the sky, and this pillar of light ran through the mountain and the city, breaking through the clouds and the sky, and going straight into the depths of the heavenless sky.
Unable to describe it in words, Takakawa found that he could not describe the figure of this behemoth at his own level of language.
It's just that from a distance, it's completely impossible to comprehend this grandeur, and the closer you get to it, the more shocking you become, and the existence of the city as an individual seems so insignificant compared to the city.
The huge mountain is divided into many layers, bounded by obvious hollow spirit patterns, and each layer has a circle of translucent silver crystals as a lighting point, which can vaguely allow people to walk and live in it.
didn't count how many layers there were in total, Gao Chuan only knew that his conjectures about Yujing were all wrong, completely wrong.
The cultivator's creation is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, he originally thought that it was just a city hanging in the sky - at most the city was built on a floating mountain, but now, in the current situation, it seems that a mountain of steel was built with human life, and the city was built on this mountain of steel.
It can even be said that the entire upside-down steel mountain range is Yujing.
There are no bare, unprotected parts, and the entire city is covered and guarded by formations and steel walls, and one of the safest places in the world lives up to its name.
In the midst of the pillar of light, Takagawa recalled some of the things Gu Fang had said to him, from which he received a lot of information about Yujing.
It's like this pillar of light, which is used as a teleportation channel, but is actually a node that supports the Void Barrier.
The Taixu Heavenly Barrier is a giant umbrella of heaven and earth, an atmospheric cover, created by the previous Houtu Dynasty under the call of the ten major sects, with the strength of the whole country, and the alliance with all the human forces, and even with the old enemy demon clan.
It is suspended in the high heavens, the body is formless and substantial, it is a huge filter composed of pure aura, whether it is a meteorite or an evil demon, the great sun divine light or endless star power, as long as it is something that may be harmful to life, it will be sifted through, among which tangible and qualitative harmful objects, such as evil demons, will be incinerated by the riotous aura, and other things, such as the sun star power will generally not be shielded, but let it be natural, only in special circumstances will there be a reaction, and appropriate distinction and reflection will be carried out.
Since this, countless fragmentary demons have been completely wiped out before they can sneak in and land, and demons that are strong enough to break the heavenly barrier will also be found in the first place, and then targeted search and extermination.
However, such a huge project, just the prototype has exhausted all the foundation of the Houtu Dynasty, not to mention the follow-up maintenance - the twenty-four nodes that support the Taixu Heavenly Barrier, the human race has fifteen, the demon race has nine, and the Houtu Dynasty has one of them, but it is such a node, and the manpower and material resources required for annual maintenance almost make the royal family that has been emptied of its family completely bankrupt. After struggling to support for hundreds of years, the last emperor Ye Liangcheng was finally overthrown by the rebel army led by Emperor Zhao Hao, the Taizu of the New Dynasty, and was killed by the Taizu of the New Dynasty in a one-on-one duel with the Haori God Fist, and the Houtu Dynasty died as a result.
However, the combat power can not be eaten, after ascending the throne and becoming the emperor, Emperor Hao was also overwhelmed by this finance, and finally couldn't bear it, and threw down the throne a few years ago, traveling alone, claiming to be pursuing the avenue, but in fact evading responsibility.
Gao Chuan vaguely remembered that when Gu Fang said this, he simply gritted his teeth and wanted to eat people, and he couldn't stop muttering "betrayal!" "Himself is free!" and "Let the old man suffer!" These inexplicable words are inexplicable.
The successor Emperor Chang, the reason why he carried out large-scale technological reform, is also to open up sources and reduce expenditure, with more cost-saving new technologies to replace the original manpower and material resources, in order to alleviate the domestic financial pressure, and the circulation of new technologies, naturally will also bring a large number of economic effects, the expansion of the manufacturing industry to stimulate domestic demand and even foreign sales, can effectively improve the economic level of the whole country.
The reason why Yujing, as the capital of the country, still has to travel around, in addition to disseminating technology and going to various capitals for economic and political exchanges, is to carry nodes and repair the damaged and faulty parts of the heavenly barriers in the inspection part.
Fortunately, this traction pillar of light can easily send materials and manpower into the high heavens, which is convenient for repair and transformation, and now as a passage into Yujing, it is just to save as much as possible and make the best use of things.
Carried by the beam, Takakawa slowly approached the tip of the base of the silver-steel mountain, where there was a passage through which the beam passed through and brought one into the mountain.
At this time, many things echoed in his mind, whether it was thoughts and fantasies about strength, of the future, of his own pursuits, or of the excitement of being about to achieve his goal, because of the shock of Li's wonders—these complicated thoughts and feelings were circulating in his mind, but he did not know what was going on, and suddenly such a sentence burst out in his heart.
I never thought about the meaning of spiritual practice.
Experiencing the power of the person who cast this magnificent creation, Takakawa couldn't help but begin to sigh and introspect from the heart, as an individual is so small that people can't help but think about the meaning of their own existence.
Why do people want to practice, and what is the point of practice?
It was only now that Takakawa realized that he didn't know any of these things, that for him, cultivation was instinct, the pleasure of seeking strength, the power to live and even take revenge on all demons and monsters - even just because he had the practice to practice, so he practiced - this seemed to be the purpose of his practice, the meaning of practice, but he also knew that it was not all.
To be honest, everything is just a coincidence - without the core, he will probably practice revenge, but maybe he will not embark on the path of slaying demons and killing demons.
If he hadn't encountered these things, if he hadn't had these external influences—if he didn't need to take revenge on demons and monsters, then what would he have been practicing for?
He had never thought about these things before, until now.
Ever since the fire broke out in Yunmu Village, when the dragons, demons, and cultivators fought in the sky, Gao Chuan's every day had been as fierce and exciting as a romance, and the ensuing battles had left him with no time or need to think about the meaning of his cultivation at all—because the battles were so wonderful, and he was already full enough.
Until now.
Repeating in his heart, he understood his feelings very well, from the moment he killed the Demon Colossus and was sent to Yujing by Xiao Mo Zhenren, Gao Chuan always felt that something was missing from his body, and when he walked on the road and thought about how to use his aura, he would always suddenly have an inexplicable sense of loss.
He knew that this was emptiness, the emptiness of no pursuit, there were no demon beasts in this place for him to kill, and there were no demons lurking around, everything was too boring, just like the life in Yunmu Village back then.
He likes the feeling of power that fills his body, he likes the fulfillment of fighting monsters, he wants to be able to see more scenery, to be able to live longer and longer - not only these, everything is what he wants, he is more greedy than anyone else - but it is not enough, these thoughts and ** are not enough to unify all his thoughts and support his will as a person as a core of thought.
It's not just a mere sense.
Cultivation is the collection of all **, the collection of all possibilities. It's okay to practice for revenge! It's okay to practice for fear of death. If you just want to find a meaning, it can't be simpler, and everything has a meaning, let alone practice.
What Gao Chuan wants is not a simple meaning, but a heart.
He loves to fight, but is it his heart to simply pursue it?
He likes power, but is it his heart to simply pursue power?
As long as you think deeply and dialectically, all simple thoughts and conclusions will become a mess, and those who think they know what they want will feel that everything that was originally clear and clear has become extremely chaotic in an instant.
Although he felt that he was asking for troubles and restraining himself, Takakawa's instinct gave him a premonition.
As long as he breaks through the riddles, understands his true heart, finds the meaning of his existence in this world, and can unify all his wills with his own heart, he will be able to step through a gate and step into a new realm.
Gather the mysteries of heaven and earth and become one of my hearts!
As long as he can break through the mystery barrier, he will be able to step over the Juxuan with a second-order body, shattering the Leakless Body and the biggest obstacle in the Jindan realm.
As long as you can understand your heart, Gaochuan's Jindan road is a smooth road.
