As for Luo Jianqing, he had to try his best to comprehend the seventh plunder of "Nine Lotuses Plundering the Heavens".
Looking across the world, only the Nine Lotus Venerable, thirty thousand years ago, had reached the seventh level of the Nine Lotus Heavenly Record. Luo Jianqing had a strange feeling: if he couldn't break through to the seventh level before reaching the Mahayana stage, then once he reached the Mahayana stage, breaking through to the seventh level would be extremely difficult.
In the "Nine Lotuses Seizing Heaven Record," the first seizure is "Seizing Spring and Autumn," the second is "Seizing the Law and Righteousness," the third is "Seizing Right and Wrong," the fourth is "Seizing Cause and Effect," and the fifth is "Seizing Life and Death." These five seizures are Heaven's seizures of all living things, while starting with the sixth seizure, "Seizing the Sun and the Moon," they are Heaven's seizures of the unchanging eternity of all things.
Luo Jianqing circulated his spiritual power, and the power of nothingness from "Nine Lotuses Record of Heaven" spread out from his dantian and spread to the entire cave.
Through this ethereal power, Luo Jianqing, despite keeping his eyes tightly closed, seemed to see many strange things. Crystal-clear rays of light emerged from every corner and object in the cave, one end reaching toward the sky, the other toward the earth.
These shimmering threads were densely packed. On a single stone, there might be numerous threads, some reaching out to the sky and earth, others to other objects. Looking at the alchemy furnace, it too had numerous threads. The majority of threads condensed from Xuan Lingzi's body to the furnace, and then from the furnace to the elixir at the center. Some threads also strangely drifted outward, pointing to very distant places.
Perhaps these lines are connected to the dream demon who will be captured by Xuan Lingzi and thrown into this alchemy furnace in the future.
These lines were not unfamiliar to Luo Jianqing. After he cultivated the fourth level of "Seizing Cause and Effect", he could see these lines. As his cultivation level increased, the lines he could see became more and more numerous and more solid.
In the past, Luo Jianqing thought that this was just an ordinary causal line, but he couldn't help but look at the line at the bottom of each object -
It was a bright red line, thick and strong, pointing straight to the earth, not to the sky.
Luo Jianqing had no idea what this thread was, but he had a vague feeling that it held a strange connection to the seventh serpent in the "Nine Lotuses Conquering the Heavens." Why did the causal line no longer point to the sky, but only to the earth? What did this thread actually mean, that it had nothing to do with the way of heaven?
The spiritual energy within Luo Jianqing slowly began to unravel. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, his eyeballs trembled beneath his lids, and his lips gradually turned pale. Violent spiritual energy emanated from Luo Jianqing's body, madly crashing into all directions of the cave, directly crushing a bamboo chair.
Xuan Lingzi immediately opened his eyes, tiptoed, flew forward, and pressed his right palm on Luo Jianqing's back.
"Jianqing, wake up!"
Warm spiritual energy flowed into Luo Jianqing's body from the point where his palm touched his back. It was like a sudden drop of cool water on a scorching summer day. Xuan Lingzi's spiritual energy flowed through Luo Jianqing's veins, causing him to groan in comfort. His volatile spirit power finally calmed down.
Three full days passed before Luo Jianqing weakly opened his eyes, a look of exhaustion in them. He leaned back in Xuan Lingzi's arms, trying his best to channel his spiritual energy to pull himself out of his obsession. At the same time, he began to reflect on the strange feeling he had suddenly experienced during that moment of madness.
After a long while, Luo Jianqing finally said in a hoarse voice: "Master, how long have I been unconscious?"
Xuan Lingzi held Luo Jianqing in one hand and brought him to the bamboo couch. He gently put him down and said, "Three days and three nights have passed since you became possessed."
Luo Jianqing hadn't expected it to take this long. He pondered for a moment and said, "I really can't figure it out, Master. What exactly is the seventh level of the 'Nine Lotuses Heaven-Seizing Record'? I've already taken almost everything he asked me to take away. Why is there still a third level of seizure in this world? Is there something I've overlooked?"
Xuan Lingzi reached out and wiped the sweat off Luo Jianqing's forehead. Looking at the young man's face, which was so pale that it was almost transparent, a trace of heartache flashed across Xuan Lingzi's eyes. He held Luo Jianqing's hand and said, "You've done very well."
At the moment their hands touched, Luo Jianqing suddenly stiffened, his eyes widening as he looked at Xuan Lingzi in disbelief. Xuan Lingzi was somewhat surprised by his expression and placed his other hand on his forehead, gently stroking it, and asked, "What's wrong? Are you still feeling unwell?"
The scene from three days ago flashed before Luo Jianqing's eyes. Today he finally remembered something he had forgotten seventy years ago!
When he first learned how to use the causal line to see other people's causal lines, he discovered that in the bamboo house next door, his master was missing a causal line that everyone had!
Xuan Lingzi does not have that bright red causal line, the causal line that is not connected to the sky but only to the earth!
Luo Jianqing could now see the causal lines of inanimate objects, but he still couldn't see Xuan Lingzi's causal line! What exactly did this causal line mean? Why didn't Xuan Lingzi have it? Why... why?
Even he himself has this causal line!
Luo Jianqing tried his best to remain calm. He thought for a long time and finally asked, "Master, have you ever felt anything was wrong during your cultivation over the years?"
Hearing this, Xuan Lingzi frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"
Luo Jianqing said: "Master, you... have you ever felt that your understanding of the Way of Heaven is very slow, or that your understanding of the realm..." Having said this, even Luo Jianqing himself could not continue.
Is there something wrong with Xuan Lingzi's understanding of the Way of Heaven? Is his advancement in realm too slow?
