Chapter 167 - Concept of One’s Life
TL-Checked by Bamblueboo; Edited by Animeart
Lin Shu was shocked and kept pondering for a long time.
He was thinking about a lot of things, the past, the future, the river; mainly modern physics.
Through the past Buddha, you can go back to the starting point from the river of time.
Through the future Buddha, you can move forward and go to the unknown future.
There was no present Buddha in the Buddhist temple; because they were at the present time.
He and the light spot representing Xiao Shao hovered quietly in the void, and then at a certain point in time, he suddenly became dizzy and returned to the real world.
Xiao Shao removed his hand from the Buddha’s palm and looked at him.
He looked back at Xiao Shao.
Xiao Shao asked him, “What do you think?”
Lin Shu shook his head.
It was impossible to talk about modern physics with Xiao Shao. He needed to organize his language, so he wanted to listen to Xiao Shao’s views first.
So he answered, “I’ll listen to you first.”
Xiao Shao said, “You and I are light spots in the void, which is similar to the golden thread material that we have seen.”
Lin Shu nodded.
Xiao Shao continued: “The number of golden threads is not clear. There are births and deaths. I think it may be people or living beings in the world.”
Lin Shu said, “I think so too.”
Xiao Shao looked at the Buddha and said, “That mirror.”
Lin Shu: “Huh?”
“All things in the world are born from cause and effect.” Xiao Shao repeated the inscription engraved on the back of their strange bronze mirror, and then said: “I think that those golden threads are entwined with each other and are the cause and effect between different living beings. All golden threads are moving forward, and they continue to influence each other. If they were not originally entangled with each other, they gradually entangled and moved forward...”
Xiao Shao frowned. He didn’t seem to know how to describe what he wanted to say. After a while, he said, “In the void, when I approached you, there was a feeling... a feeling that there seemed to be some force pushing.”
Lin Shu nodded.
Force of interaction.
“The silk thread moves forward and pushes each other. The direction of the moment is determined by the last moment. The direction of the last moment is determined by the last moment before that, just like the effect of today was the cause of yesterday, the cause of today will be the effect of tomorrow. Immortal Lord Taoyuan made the marriage engagement for you and me, this is the reason why you and I are deeply attached to each other. Now, the deep affection between you and me is the result. In fact, everything in the world is determined by the cause planted by everything before. What happens now is the effect of what will happen in the future.”
Lin Shu understood what Xiao Shao meant.
The mutual entanglement of those golden threads was the causal entanglement of everything in the world.
Xiao Shao continued, “That river, I think, is the evolution of the entire world.”
Lin Shu’s gaze on him changed.
Xiao Shao continued: “The Sage stood on the banks of the river. ’How it flows on, never creasing, night and day!. I think the river of cause and effect can also be said to be the change of time.”
Lin Shu: “!”
Shao Gege, please travel to modern times and learn physics.
I’m sure when I get into college and show up in the classroom, I’ll look up and you’ll already be a professor.
On second thought, there was no Immortal Lord Taoyuan in the modern world. It is estimated that he and Xiao Shao will not have any intersection.
Professor Xiao would not notice him, the one who always sat in the corner of the classroom.
Although... He was actually learning quite well..
Lin Shu pulled back his thoughts.
Xiao Shao asked him, “What do you think?”
Lin Shu pulled out an incense in the censer on the windowsill. He spread a thin layer of incense ash on the windowsill, and began to draw in the incense ash.
He drew a straight line, and then drew two vertical lines to cut it off.
Xiao Shao: “Hmm?”
Lin Shu said: “The light spot moves and becomes a line, but if I cut off a section of the line...”
Xiao Shao: “It’s a period of time.”
Lin Shu continued: “If this line is very small, or infinitely small...”
Xiao Shao frowned slightly.
Lin Shu said: “—-to the point it couldn’t be any smaller, I cut out a point.”
Then, he added several wavy lines beside the straight line to indicate that this is the river of light. He drew another straight line and cut it off.
“At this time, I cut out countless immovable points.” Lin Shu said, “this is a stationary world at a certain... Moment.”
Xiao Shao looked at the picture with a slightly thoughtful look in his eyes, then his eyebrows stretched and he said, “Indeed.”
Without waiting for Lin Shu to continue to explain, he said, “When entering the future Buddha, the river started to flow from somewhere, which is the moment when you and I enter the Buddha statue.”
He took the incense stick from Lin Shu and cut one in the river: “You and I were here when we entered.”
Then, he cut another not far from the river: “If we enter now, we will be here.”
Lin Shu nodded.
Xiao Shao kissed his cheeks: “Baby, you are so smart.”
Lin Shu’s face was a little hot.
Xiao Shao took the incense stick and put on the incense ashes a few times, and then said: “In this way, the past Buddha can trace back to the past, and the future Buddha can predict the future... and what happens in the world, the cause and effect are born, in fact, it is already destined.”
Lin Shu frowned and said, “Perhaps we can say that.”
Countless rays of light have different interactions with each other. They pushed each other, changed each other, and were flowing forward in the river of destiny... If there was a computer with sufficient computing power, the trajectory of all light can actually be simulated and predicted.
In plain terms, the cause has been determined, then the effect has also been determined, and all the future was... already predetermined.
This was a bit less materialistic, but the facts were already in front of them.
Lin Shu reinserted the incense stick and cleaned the incense ashes on the windowsill.
After cleaning up, he saw Xiao Shao looking at the two-faced Buddha with deep eyes.
He walked to Xiao Shao’s side.
Xiao Shao: “I have a very dangerous idea.”
Lin Shu: “..?..”
Xiao Shao: “This Buddha statue is the core of the Elysium.”
Lin Shu nodded.
—— He saw Xiao Shao step forward, his fingertips touching the fingertips of the Buddha statue.
Then, he suddenly exerted his strength!
The majestic spiritual power stirred up in that one moment, compressed to an unimaginable strength, and went straight to the Buddha statue!
Click.
A crack appeared on the fingertip of the future Buddha.
At the same time, the kindly-looking old Abbot suddenly lost all the brilliance in his eyes and turned into two dull dark black holes!
The next moment, he turned his finger into a claw and darted towards Xiao Shao!
Zhang! the Folding Bamboo unsheathed out the scabbard. Lin Shu’s sword swept in front of him. A cold light blocked the Abbot’s attack!
The event occured in a flash, and his sword suddenly appeared. Lin Shu didn’t leave any backhands. The Abbot was immediately hit by the powerful sword Qi.
If the sword Qi of someone with Crossing the Tribulation Realm hits ordinary people. Even if one didn’t die, they would be seriously injured!
But the Abbot was pushed against the wall by the power carried by the sword Qi, he spit out a mouthful of blood, and his body gradually dispersed!
Also... these people in the Elysium are not real people.
He heard footsteps.
Dense footsteps.
It was as if the ground were shaking.
First came several monks in grey robes. Their eyes were as dark and lifeless as those of the Abbot’s just now. They bumped and crashed, trying to attack Xiao Shao.
Lin Shu dealt with them all.
The footsteps roared, but they still didn’t stop, and the walls were rustling with dust.
Lin Shu knew that the whole world would be coming here.
This is not a bad thing—at least it proved that what Xiao Shao was doing would shake the foundation of this world!
That’s why a steady stream of people attacked him to protect the Elysium.
He looked at Xiao Shao.
Xiao Shao turned his head and nodded to him.
The crack had spread from the fingertips to the entire arm of the Buddha statue.
Lin Shu turned his head back and faced the surging crowds outside the temple gate.
They all seem to be controlled by something, not like beings, but like millions of living corpses.
Lin Shu had never killed a person or been stained with blood.
But he was now a sword cultivator with no emotions.
And these people were not human at all.
The sharp, shiny edge of the Folding Bamboo sword flashed.
The ruthless sword intent was like eternal clouds.
The people of the Elysium came in like a tide, and everywhere Lin Shu’s sword intent went, they fell down and disappeared.
Finally, at some point, everyone was still.
They slowly parted, making a path.
The Great Wizard garbed in green had appeared.
Lin Shu closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and then slowly wiped the sword.
The Great Wizard was a Land Immortal, one level higher than him. This would be nothing more than a death battle
In the past, when he was meditating outside of the Jubei Pass to restore his cultivation. It was Ling Fengxiao who restrained the Great Wizard and kept guard for him and protected him. Now it was time for him to be Xiao Shao’s protector.
The Great Wizard stopped in front of the temple gate, looked directly over him and said coldly to Xiao Shao, “Stop!”
Xiao Shao had no intention to stop.
The Great Wizard moved forward with a flick of his sleeves, and his body emitted a deep evil aura.
Lin Shu did not retreat or avoid, swinging his sword to meet him.
The fifth form of 《 Everlasting Yearning》 “Heaven and Earth are Merciless”.
A pitch-black blade appeared in the Great Wizard’s hands. He blocked Lin Shu’s move with the blade, then followed it with a quick upward sweep, straight to Lin Shu’s throat!
This was a very fast and fierce move!
Lin Shu seemed to hear the sound of the blade breaking into the air, mixed with thousands of painful roars and howls.
He settled down.
The Folding Bamboo sword hummed clearly.
The hissing and howling sounds went away in a flash.
At the top of the mountain, the snowflakes fell.
It buried all earthly sounds.
The sixth form, “The Deep Clear Water is Silent”.
The Great Wizard coldly curved his lips and met the blade again.
His moves had a scent of chaos and evil, with a thick smell of blood, as if he came from Asura Hell.
At that moment, the world in front of Lin Shu seemed to be soaked in blood.
He changed his sword moves in an instant.
The snow stopped.
In the mountains and rivers, on the ice field, there was a vast expanse of white.
All the colors went away, the blood color and the wind stopped. Heaven and earth had the same color, leaving him alone and a sword.
The seventh form, “A Solitary Boat”.
This deadly move was blocked by the Great Wizard.
At the next moment, the sword light in the Great Wizard’s hand burst.
Lin Shu retracted the sword and blocked back!
But unexpectedly, the Great Wizard’s body flashed like a ghostly figure, and he went directly over him and headed towards Xiao Shao!
The pitch-black tip of the knife pointing directly at Xiao Shao’s heart!
Lin Shu’s mind became blank, but his body was faster than his instincts.
The Great Wizard’s phantom body was of course very fast.
However, the millennium heritage of the Sword Pavilion was not inferior.
Yet he did not know exactly how he had blocked that move.
He didn’t know how his arm and sword moved, and he didn’t know the mysteries and trajectory of the sword..
Everything seemed to be done intuitively.
He stood behind Xiao Shao, and the tip of the Great Wizard’s knife penetrated his left shoulder, slightly downward, at a position that was quite close to the heart.
And he cut off the Great Wizard’s right arm.
The blood flowed out in a torrent.
Lin Shu didn’t feel any pain.
He kept thinking about it when he was learning 《Everlasting Yearning》.
The sword skills of the Sword Pavilion were lonely, desolate and indomitable. There had never been such a sword move, which hurt people with self injury.
There was no room for self-protection in this move. When a man with a sword causes fatal damage to the enemy, the other’s sword inevitably, has already penetrated the heart.
This is the eighth move of 《Everlasting Yearning》, which is the “Concept of One’s Life”.
The Great Wizard’s blade didn’t penetrate his heart.
At the last moment, he seemed to have taken back the blade, the amplitude was too small, Lin Shu didn’t know if it was real.
The Great Wizard sneered, but he looked at Lin Shu with complicated eyes.
A very crazy kind of look, but also very painful, like a tangled and entwined thread in the river of light.
With the blade in his right hand, he drew it from Lin Shu’s left chest, splashing blood.
The blade pointed at Xiao Shao again—just a hair’s breadth away!
Time and space seemed to have stopped.
A moment of silence.
The Buddha statue shook, trembled, fell apart, and collapsed!
The collapsed fragments all turned into black ash and dissipated, and a dark golden point of light appeared where the Buddha statue was originally located.
Xiao Shao slowly held the point of light in his hand, and said word by word: “You are late.”
The next moment, he clenched his right hand fiercely!
The point of light disappeared into his hand.
Lin Shu looked at Xiao Shao, and felt at that moment, a dark golden river was flowing in his eyes.
The next moment, he caught Lin Shu, flew outward with him, and then flew over the entire city.
“Does it hurt?” Xiao Shao hugged Lin Shu’s waist with his left hand, letting him lean on his shoulder.
Lin Shu shook his head.
Xiao Shao said: “I will show you something fun.”
The next moment, the world suddenly returned to normal.
People were walking on the street with joy and laughter.
In the next moment, they moved much faster!
Another moment...Everyone was even moving faster, and their bodies were as fast as phantoms.
Lin Shu slightly widened his eyes.
He got it.
Inside the Buddha statue was the core of this world.
If you get the core of this world, you could control the world at will!
So Xiao Shao was now speeding up the time of this world!
A generation is dead.
A new generation is born again.
More and more people, the Elysium quickly spread outward.
He didn’t know how long it took, but Xiao Shao said, “It’s so slow.”
Then he said: “Baby, I will take you directly to two thousand years later.”
Two thousand years later, the edge of the City couldn’t be seen at a glance.
Xiao Shao fast forwarded again.
Three thousand years later, the Elysium has filled the entire world.
There was no place for rice fields.
Xiao Shao smiled at the corner of his mouth, continuing to accelerate the time of this world.
In the city, there were more and more people, more and more crowds; one after another.
When the food was divided, hunger appeared, and then, scrambling for food appeared.
The two people held one side of a steamed bun, not giving way to each other.
The chaos began here.
Robbing, trampling, attacking.
Screaming, roaring, struggling.
The whole world began to tremble and falter.
Xiao Shao moved the flow of time forward for the last time.
The whole land was stained red with blood, and this peaceful and beautiful Land of Elysium collapsed, as if it were heading towards the long-destined doomed ending.
