Volume 16: The Wheel of Reincarnation Chapter 57: Vientiane (Part 2)
The appearance of the sky and the earth is generally imaginable, such as in the old world.
He had also seen a double-layered celestial sphere covered with mud, a sky covered with layers of steel, a kingdom of God paved with flesh and blood, and a sky with nothing above and below. These had all given Li Lin a great shock. He thought that the most magnificent scenery in the world was just like this.
But when Li Lin walked out of the light curtain and saw the sky, he knew that his past impression was about to be shattered. What was flowing in the sky was not air, nor was it some demonized soil or other structures, but a mass of chaos that was difficult to describe in words. It was as if things like earth, water, fire, and wind had completely lost their concept in this world. What appeared before Li Lin's eyes was a completely chaotic world.
Inclusive and inclusive, as if to set off the ideas of the Earth Realm, almost any material structure can be seen above the sky. Just like every practitioner in the Earth Realm, the entire sky and the earth are mixed into a chaotic soup. If it weren't for the fairy spirit and perception of the instinctive observation of space, even ordinary people who come here to take a look will be deprived of their normal thinking and sensory abilities by the chaotic world. The chaotic light and matter here have even interfered with the visual space, just like throwing a person into a room with no depth of field that is completely the color of industrial wastewater, instantly depriving people of their normal thinking.
But it must be said that although the whole world looks chaotic and crazy, it is full of a strange beauty that makes people feel a little weird. When seeing the flames and water interweaving in the sky and mixing with the soil, Li Lin always feels that this world seems to be pregnant with something unimaginable.
It’s as if the whole world is part of a huge living thing, with a unique sense of rhythm of life.
The feeling called breathing, or the heartbeat of life, can be fully felt in this chaotic world.
"Which is more important, material or spiritual? We believe that both are important. The spiritual is important, and the material is equally important. The two are like food and water in the human era. There is no most important thing. If you lose either one, you will die. But we believe that if practice can be inclusive and tolerate everything, perhaps we can see through the path to transcendence. This is the Tao."
As if it was dissolved, it stretched out its wooden feet and stepped into the chaotic vortex. The huge tree man was torn and dissolved in an instant, but the sound lingered in Li Lin's mind, as if he had not received any harm at all.
While watching those strange shapes dissolving into the world, Li Lin also had a certain understanding of the overall shape of the earth.
I’m afraid it’s not that we can’t find practitioners in the earthly realm, it’s just that practitioners in the earthly realm have become a part of the world.
Just like Li Lin's control over magic, if he wants, he can dissolve himself into the infinite magic and change his form and abilities, or he can create a body that is exactly like himself. Everything is created according to his thoughts, but it is based on the body itself. Each of these practitioners in the earth realm is equivalent to Li Lin dissolving in magic, melting himself into this chaotic world.
Before long, there was no longer any living thing around Li Lin, and they all dissolved into the brilliant chaotic world. Fish and birds flew through the flames, and in the blink of an eye they plunged into the mud, blinking curiously at Li Lin.
This illogical scenery gave everything around it an unrealistic brilliance, even an extremely strange feeling.
"In fact, being in harmony with the Tao is not as uncomfortable as one might imagine."
This is just a kind of practice.
The light and shadow formed by the flowing water swayed in front of Li Lin, gradually being pulled into the blurry shape of a human face.
The old tree man turned into a water man, stood up in front of Li Lin, carrying the beasts and plants in his body, as if he was an incarnation of nature. He stood up from the chaotic world again and stood beside Li Lin . The sound was still slowly spreading from his soul.
"People in the human world are really too obsessed with their own independence. They want to prove that their hearts absolutely belong to them, and they are too persistent in showing their abilities. But why? This world has never said anything, nor has it ever expressed anything. All of this is just a definition we have added without authorization. The heavens are high above, the gods rule over everything, the ghosts do not enter reincarnation, and the demons are self-contradictory. But is there a natural explanation for all of this?"
"No, because nature is nature. Being destroyed, rebuilt, defined, or vaguely defined, these are all the actions of us practitioners, of us humans. Nature does not take any action, nor does it have any thoughts of feedback. It is simply this world. Even if we tear apart the entire sky, it is still nature. It is not nature if it cannot be torn apart or broken by us. If you want to transcend, you must understand. Compared to our birth, our world of war against each other, what better teacher is there than nature? Only by integrating can we understand. And only by understanding can we transcend."
"So this Suju Heaven was adjusted to this form. All things in the universe are but a moment, and everything in this world is in nature. After we make a slight adjustment, accommodate and understand nature, it presents a state that other worlds cannot understand at all. This is the manifestation of our path."
"...Can I understand that you are trying to win me over?"
Looking at the old waterman who was talking to himself, Li Lin raised his eyebrows and spoke directly.
The huge water man looked at Li Lin, who was unmoved on the high platform of the Immortal Road, and was obviously stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
“Hahahaha… Although I really want to say that, the current situation does not allow it. I do want to attract everyone to come to our land, but a failed cultivator is not qualified to lead others to the same path of failure. Because, as you can see, there are already some problems on our side. The road of the land has gone in a strange direction.”
Li Lin wanted to ask, "What did I see?" But seeing that the old man didn't seem to be joking, Li Lin closed his mouth and stretched out his hands, indicating that the old man should continue to talk. He was listening.
