Lin Beichen looked stunned, then a hint of apology appeared on his face, and said: "Sorry, I didn't know."
Mu Hongling pursed her red lips, a stubborn look flashed across her pretty face, she shook her head gently and said, "It's okay, I have figured it out after so many years, life and death are determined by fate, but depending on God's mood, all of this is It’s something that is destined, and it has its own destiny.”
As she said that, Mu Hongling couldn't help but look at the sky, feeling a little lost.
The sky today is a bit gray, with a few continuous dark clouds blocking the sun, and only a little bit of sunlight leaking out from between the cracks.
The sun is trying hard to break out of the dark clouds. I believe it won't be long before it can leave the dark clouds behind and return the earth to light again.
"Life and death are determined by destiny, and freedom is determined in the dark..."
Lin Beichen was a little lost in thought, repeatedly murmuring what Mu Hongling said.
If everyone's fate is destined by God, then what is the path that practitioners pursue?
"No! My fate is up to me!"
"You are born like an ant, you have the ambition not to fall into the clouds, life is thinner than paper, you should have an unyielding heart!"
"We monks should use ourselves as a chess piece to defeat half of the world!"
As Lin Beichen's sonorous, powerful and shocking words slowly rang out in the house, the sun in the sky, which had been obscured by dark clouds for a long time, broke free at this moment and reappeared in people's sight.
The light flashed across the sky, completely annihilating the darkness of the earth.
Lin Beichen's fair and delicate face looked determined and determined under the dazzling light.
Mu Hongling stared blankly at Lin Beichen's profile, her pupils flickering slightly, as if there were different emotions beating.
"What is the outside world like?"
The corners of Mu Hongling's mouth twitched slightly, and she asked softly after hesitating for a while.
“It’s exciting, but it’s also dangerous.”
Lin Beichen raised his head and glanced at the distant horizon, his eyes a little deep.
"Cloud Shadow Continent is a martial world, where strength is supreme. The weak will be bullied by the strong, while the strong will be respected by others no matter where they go."
"But no one will be weak forever. Weak people can also become strong through their own efforts!"
"Those who have cultivated to the point of creation and whose strength reaches the heavens and the earth can soar in the heaven and earth, criss-cross the mountains and rivers, and can reach thousands of miles away in an instant, with astonishing speeds."
"What's more, it can shatter mountains and rivers with a single thought, and shake the whole world with a punch. Its strength is extremely terrifying!"
Lin Beichen's eyes flashed with passion as he spoke, and his fists clenched slightly unconsciously.
For this kind of realm, he yearned for it in his heart, but he deeply understood that at this moment, he was still far away from this terrifying realm.
Mu Hongling listened quietly to Lin Beichen's description of Cloud Shadow Continent. Looking at the hot look in the latter's eyes, a trace of yearning flashed through her beautiful eyes. After hesitating for a while, she softly said : "Can you promise me to teach me how to practice after I leave the Cloud Shadow Continent?"
"call..."
After Lin Beichen took a deep breath, he slowly moved his gaze to Mu Hongling's beautiful face, staring straight at the latter.
But this time, Mu Hongling surprisingly lowered her head without shyness, and looked at Lin Beichen without blinking. Anyone could see the longing in her beautiful eyes.
Lin Beichen looked away with a wry smile and said in a slow tone: "Cultivation is an extremely difficult and lonely thing, and once you start practicing, it will be difficult to look back."
Practitioners not only have to fight against heaven, but also against humans.
In this world, the resources for cultivation are limited, and once you embark on the path of cultivation, you will inevitably have disputes with others over the ownership of the cultivation resources.
Usually the most direct way to resolve such disputes is for you to die or for me to die.
If the two parties do not want to fight to the death for various reasons, it does not mean that the matter will pass like this. Instead, a seed of hatred will be planted in the hearts of the two parties until one day one party will After some other reason leads to the decline of strength, the other side will never give up this opportunity to add insult to injury.
Lin Beichen has a deep understanding of this point.
He used to be a talented disciple of the outer sect of Xuanyuan Sect. When he had strength, everyone was polite to him on the surface. Even if they were dissatisfied with him, they would force themselves to suppress the dissatisfaction in their hearts. Yue, extremely polite in words.
But when his Dantian is damaged and his strength disappears, most of the people who once respected him will choose to ridicule him. But you must know that before this, he had never shown the slightest disdain for these people.
These people just wanted to wash away the humble posture they had shown before him.
Lin Beichen even suspected that if his strength disappeared and left Xuanyuan Sect, he would face the violent revenge of these people.
Most people are like this. They bully the weak and fear the strong, and are easily prone to revenge. A small detail you don't pay attention to may cause others to hold a grudge against you without your knowledge.
When your strength is gone, they will hit you hard.
Just like Cang Xuanzi, after losing his strength, he could only hide in an extremely sparsely populated place in the inaccessible zone, living secretly for twenty years without daring to appear in public view again, because he was afraid of being exposed by the previous Enemies retaliate.
If Lin Beichen hadn't repeatedly requested and promised that he would try his best to help him repair his injuries, and if he did see a glimmer of hope in Lin Beichen, he would never have thought about it again and would have only stayed in that deserted place. There, I will die alone until I turn into a handful of loess between heaven and earth, and quietly pass away from this world.
Therefore, once you embark on this path of cultivation, it will be very difficult to escape.
"I'm not afraid of hardship!" Mu Hongling's pretty face was full of stubbornness, and her eyes were full of determination when she looked at Lin Beichen. Resurrection from the dead.”
"Resurrection from the dead?" Lin Beichen was slightly startled.
"Yes! I heard from my father that the cultivators on the Cloud Shadow Continent are strange and unpredictable. Even if they die, they can come back to life. This is recorded in the ancestral precepts left by our first generation ancestors."
"It is because of this record in the ancestral precepts that my father and I have such a strong desire to leave the Seven Star Tomb and go to the Cloud Shadow Continent."
"I...I want to save my mother."
Speaking of her mother, Mu Hongling's eyes turned red again.
Looking at Mu Hongling who was in a low mood, Lin Beichen lowered his head slightly and remained silent, thinking about how to explain to Mu Hongling so that she wouldn't be so sad.
After being silent for a long time, Lin Beichen slowly raised his head, with a trace of complexity flashing in his eyes. After sighing softly, he said softly: "The teachings of your ancestors mentioned that you can live after death. In fact, this dead person is not the real person." A dead person in the sense of the word, at least from the perspective of us cultivators, he can only be regarded as a seriously injured person at best."
"What do you mean?" Mu Hongling looked at Lin Beichen blankly.
When he saw the helplessness and bitter smile on Lin Beichen's face, his pretty face tightened, and a bad premonition suddenly flashed through his heart.
Lin Beichen looked at Mu Hongling's expression at this moment, and seemed to have a trace of unbearability in his heart. He pursed his lips slightly, took a deep breath, and said: "From your mortal perspective, if the body has been destroyed, it must be He is already dead, but from the perspective of us cultivators, if the person whose body was destroyed is a strong person in the Mysterious Core Realm, then he is not considered dead, but can only be considered seriously injured."
Speaking of this, Lin Beichen glanced at Mu Hongling out of the corner of his eye, feeling a little unbearable again, but after pondering for a moment, he decided to speak out:
"Because, once you break through to the Xuandan realm, the soul will be born. The death of the physical body is only a serious injury. As long as the soul is immortal, it is not considered death in the true sense. As long as you find a suitable body, Then the soul can take over and live in the body and appearance of another person again. This is the resurrection from the dead recorded in the teachings of your ancestors."
"And if this person's physical body has been destroyed before he can break through to the Xuandan realm, that would be true death."
"And even those who are as powerful as the Xuandan realm cannot bring anyone else back to life except themselves."
Lin Beichen said with a very complicated expression, and glanced at Mu Hongling from time to time, wanting to see her changes.
But even if he couldn't bear it, he still had to tell these things. Otherwise, after going to Cloud Shadow Continent, Mu Hongling would probably be far more disappointed than disappointed, which would lead to an unbalanced mentality and it would be easy to do something irrational. things.
Moreover, these things he mentioned are not big secrets in the cultivation world on Yunying Continent. As long as they step into the cultivation world, they will hear more or less rumors about the powerful people in the Xuandan realm.
"Are you saying that even if you have reached the Mysterious Dan realm you mentioned, there is still no way to resurrect a person?" Mu Hongling's voice was trembling, and a glimmer of hope flashed in her beautiful eyes as she looked at Lin Beichen. .
How she wished Lin Beichen could shake his head at this moment.
However, the reality was cruel, and in response to her, Lin Beichen nodded helplessly.
At this moment, she felt the world spinning, her vision blurred, and she fell towards the ground without any warning.
When Lin Beichen saw this, he quickly reached out and hugged her.
Feeling the slightly twitching body of the beauty in his arms, he could only sigh helplessly.
He can understand it too.
All the beliefs that I have held on to for many years collapsed at this moment, which is very devastating.
"However, as long as we can break through to a legendary realm, then all of this is possible."
