Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Epiphany
When the young girl in green in the mirror said "I don't know" in confusion, everyone sighed for her.
Sect Leader Chang and the others couldn't understand why a genius who could guess the secret of the Stairway to Heaven couldn't even answer such a simple question.
Is this a difficult question? It's not difficult at all. All you need to do is speak your mind and express what you want.
What exactly is she confused about? What else does she need to think about?
It was at this time that they heard the young girl in green hesitate and say, "If I must say... I just want to explore and understand this world."
Everyone was stunned, confused as to what kind of answer this was. This goal was too general, too vague, even too pale... They found it hard to imagine that someone's desire and ambition for the world could be simply to explore and understand it.
Before they could even begin to question him, the young woman in green drenched them with questions, one after another, leaving them dizzy. Silence instantly fell within the hall, and even above the clouds on the stairway to heaven, it felt as if the entire world had fallen silent.
And it was in this stagnant silence that the girl in blue asked her last question.
"By the way, do the farts of wind spirit roots have longer and more lingering sound than those of other cultivators?"
Everyone in the hall: ...
Figure: ...
It was strange to say, everyone in the hall had waited for three days just to hear the answer from the girl in green, but when they really heard her answer, no one spoke up to discuss it.
They just looked over in shock, trying to see a trace of laughter on the face of the girl in green, but she still had a blank expression, staring at the figure in front of her with unfocused eyes, obviously still bewitched by the remnant soul.
This also shows that what she said at this moment came from the heart, just like a newborn baby, whose heart was filled with the purest curiosity and thirst for knowledge about the world.
Of course, it's a good thing to be curious about the world, and it's also a good thing to have a pure heart, but the problem is... her questions themselves are the biggest problem!
Just as much as everyone wanted her to speak her mind and tell them everything she wanted, now they wanted to cover their ears and let her swallow these questions!
How could a normal person think of such a question?
Why would anyone in their right mind want to know the answer to such a question?
How could a normal person come to the Immortal Cultivation and the Way just to understand these things? This person...what on earth did this person take the Immortal Cultivation and the Way for?!
And what does the Earth Spiritual Root thing have to do with understanding this world? You just want to know how to be a deadbeat, right?!
If before, Sect Leader Chang and his companions were only impressed by the girl's rock-hard mind, which allowed her to resist the temptation of the residual soul of Patriarch Feng Yin for a long time, then now they truly admire her and even feel ashamed of themselves.
After all, they felt that their ears, brains and even their hearts were polluted just by listening to these questions, and this girl could actually ask them so calmly.
But the most terrifying thing was... after she gradually realized what she wanted, her hair, hairband and clothes all flew in the air, as if an invisible air flow was rapidly surging around her!
Several peak masters and elders were so shocked that they stood up immediately, staring at the trajectory of the surging clouds in the mirror.
"This is……"
"Epiphany?!"
"This boy is indeed as intelligent as Yan... Junior Sister said. With such comprehension, even if his spiritual roots are too low, it is not a big deal."
"Oh, forget about comprehension and talent for now. Don't you see the situation right now? What on earth is she realizing in this situation?!"
*
Figure: "...What did you just say?"
Don’t you understand?
Oh, by the way, she is now in a cultivation game, and the NPC cannot understand words that are too beyond the scope of the game.
Yun Miao felt as if she was even more sleepy. She was thinking about finishing this hidden plot quickly and logging off to sleep while she spoke in a literary manner.
"I said I wanted to understand the entire world. No, it should be... I wanted to seek the Dao. They say the Dao is the true meaning of the world, the ultimate principle of heaven and earth. If the Dao is really that magical, then I only need to seek the Great Dao. Shouldn't I be able to find the answers to those questions?"
Figure: "Can you... say it again?"
Yun Miao had no choice but to repeat it again and closed his heavy eyelids completely.
"Are you okay? I feel a little better and want to sleep."
The cloud within the figure began to swirl again, and with each spin, her silhouette became a little more transparent. And the voice, which had originally been quite flat, took on a sharp edge.
"Are you really cultivating immortality just to seek the Tao? Not seeking immortality, not seeking power, not seeking to become an immortal? Then let me ask you, if you can seek the Tao without cultivating immortality, what would you do?!"
Yun Miao said without thinking: "Then I won't cultivate immortality, I will just seek the Tao!"
From the information she learned along the way, her shabby qualifications were only slightly better than those of mortals without spiritual roots, and she had basically said goodbye to the normal process of cultivating immortals and advancing. It would be better for her to change her mindset and simply experience and explore this world.
It's just a game anyway, and playing games doesn't have standard rules like taking an exam.
The wind swirled stronger above the clouds, and the figure's voice became more slurred: "What did you say?"
"I said, I don't cultivate immortality, I only seek the truth. If I hear the truth in the morning, I'd be happy to die in the evening!"
Yun Miao was so sleepy that her brain couldn't function. She thought she was speaking loudly, but in fact it was just mumbling in her sleep.
After she finished speaking, she couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep completely. She didn't notice that as soon as she finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly blew around her, as if something was drilling into her body!
The hearts of everyone in the hall trembled with her words. They stared at the green-clothed girl in the floating mirror in a daze. They saw her sitting cross-legged on the clouds, with her head lowered, her eyes closed, and she was sleeping soundly.
The surging spiritual energy shattered the white mist surrounding the clouds into wisps of cloud, blowing away her braids. Her bright red hairband was carried high into the air by the whirlwind, dancing gracefully. Her dark hair danced wildly in the wind, and her wide sleeves and skirt fluttered in the breeze, like a swaying green lotus.
The over-consumed remnant of her soul seemed even more transparent in the fierce wind, like a candle in the wind that could go out at any moment. Yet she was laughing, laughing loudly towards the sky, with an extremely happy laugh.
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is, hahahaha, before and after death... the solution to this dilemma that I've been thinking about for an entire epoch and still haven't figured out is actually this simple!"
After laughing, the figure suddenly turned her head and looked in a certain direction in the void. She had no eyes, but everyone in the hall could feel her 'sight' looking at them through the mirror.
"Did you all hear that? This is the true way to break the impasse. It's a good way to not cultivate immortality but only seek the Tao. If you never pursue immortality, you will naturally be strong without desire."
"If one only seeks the Tao, then birth, old age, sickness, and death, the ebb and flow of the tide, are all the Tao. When the day is over and the road is at its end, one will naturally die with a smile on one's face. Why then are so many people acting like madmen..."
Sect Master Chang suddenly stood up and said, "Old Ancestor, please be careful with your words!"
After he said this, he remembered that the Feng Yin Patriarch in the ladder to heaven was just a remnant soul. It was impossible for him to "see" them outside the mirror, nor could he hear his voice.
Fortunately, at this moment, the Fengyin Ancestor on the Floating Light Mirror stopped talking. She stood up and slowly walked towards the young girl in green who was in a state of enlightenment. Her almost transparent hand pressed against the girl's crown. Her tone changed from the excitement just now to the initial gentleness and fatigue.
"Good boy, you're smarter than I thought. It's a pity you were born at the wrong time... No, you were born at the right time. This era needs smart people like you. That way, there will be less despair in the world, even if it's just a little bit."
"Don't say that the ancestor doesn't love you. Since you helped me fulfill a wish before my residual soul dissipated, I will give you an opportunity. Just think of it as... a gift from me, the ancestor, to the new disciple in advance."
As she spoke, the strong wind above the clouds suddenly became stronger, and streams of green light flew out from the depths of this space and penetrated into the body of the girl in green. Her body became more and more transparent, silently transforming into specks of firefly in front of the girl.
The milky white mist and the vortex of spiritual energy surrounding Yun Miao converged and merged, and the situation suddenly changed dramatically, and a larger and more bizarre vortex appeared.
The originally clear image on the floating mirror began to flicker as if it had been disturbed by something.
When the figure's hand pressed on Yun Miao's forehead, Huo Xin and others turned their heads in astonishment and looked at the headmaster. As strange phenomena suddenly appeared in the ladder, all the peak masters and elders jumped up in shock and looked at the white-bearded old man at the top.
"Master..."
"This is……"
"Quickly stop the ancestor!"
Sect Leader Chang, who had just stood up and sat back down, had no intention of standing up at this moment. Instead, he lowered his head and held his forehead, unable to bear to look.
"It's too late."
At the moment he spoke, the image on the floating mirror suddenly flickered and then disappeared completely. The smooth mirror surface reflected the surprised and confused expressions of everyone in the hall.
At the same time, there was a sudden explosion outside the hall, followed by a howling wind.
Everyone quickly turned their heads to look outside the hall, and saw that a huge spiritual energy vortex had appeared on the cloud-viewing platform built on the cliff edge of the main peak. The spiritual mist that lingered on the top of the cliff all year round was broken into pieces of clouds by the vortex, and then turned into the purest spiritual energy and merged into the vortex.
But in this violent vortex, there was a girl in green clothes, sitting cross-legged and floating in it, more than three feet above the ground.
A jade ball the size of a chicken egg hung above her head, radiating rays of azure light that covered her entire body. She closed her eyes, bowed her head, and slept soundly, motionless.
The whole picture is a mixture of movement and stillness, extremely mysterious.
The newly-initiated disciples were watching intently when they suddenly saw a streak of orange rising slowly from the top of a distant mountain. The sky had already turned pale without them noticing, and a ray of morning light cast some golden light on the Cloud Viewing Platform on the cliff edge.
The sky is bright...
