Chapter 536: An Eternal Goal
Chapter 536: An Eternal Goal
"Transforming oneself into the Dao, one can glimpse the secrets of Heaven and see the future. The so-called secrets of Heaven are not ethereal, but the laws of nature. They simply require deep contemplation."
"Heaven's secrets aren't based on guesswork, but on deduction. Using existing natural laws to deduce the future—this is the law of heaven's secrets..."
"Unfortunately, with my current abilities, I can only deduce a small amount. But I am certain that there will be two major chaos in the future. One is the siege of Jiuzhou, and the other is the rise of the demon beasts, and the suppression of the human race."
On the bed, Cang Shu, who had just woken up, spoke patiently.
Sitting next to them were not only Bai Tian and Dong Hua, but also many other experts.
The group of people were stunned when they heard this. Who could have thought that there was such a skill?
Bai Tian really didn't expect that Cang Shu's understanding of Tianji would be so thorough.
A rule, not some vague guess...
This is a really great idea!
It can be said that the secret of heaven was revealed in one go. To peek into the secrets of heaven is not to see the future directly, but to deduce the future through existing rules.
Bai Tian sighed softly, "There are so many things in this world that we need to explore. Just in terms of cultivation, the possibilities are endless."
Cang Shu also sighed, "Yes, the more I practice, the more I discover the mysteries of the laws of nature. They are beyond the reach of one person. I plan to call this way of practice the Way of Heaven."
Heaven's Way, it's good...
Bai Tian turned around to look at the group of people and said softly, "Tell me what you think."
Several people looked at each other, and then one of them smiled bitterly: "Now I realize how narrow my vision was before. Although our strength has reached a certain level, we have long since stopped exploring the world. This is a disaster for the younger generation."
"Yes, we old men and women are too conservative and have severely restricted our path of cultivation."
"So this is the essence of the path to ascension. It's to provide a path for those who come after us. If the path ahead is lost, humanity will be finished..."
Listening to everyone's discussions, Bai Tian smiled with some relief.
They finally began to understand!
After a while, Penglai Island finally calmed down. Of course, prisons continued to be built, but they were becoming more and more like single-person dormitories.
Thanks to Cang Shu's Cang Tian Dao, the learning atmosphere on Penglai Island finally improved. A group of masters finally began to calm down and explore their own paths.
During the day, you can also take advantage of this time to summarize your experiences.
During the day, I felt more and more that my understanding of cultivation was far from enough. The secrets of heaven, the way of heaven, and even many more ethereal things were waiting for me to understand.
Of course, the most important thing at the moment is to summarize the exploration of the path of ascension and the path of reincarnation...
But about two months later, Dabailong brought someone.
I didn't know him during the day, but he brought a lot of news.
First of all, Tianmen was attacked!
Just as Bai Tian and Di Ku had expected, Tianmen was destined to suffer an attack, and the impact would definitely be huge.
The various forces involved are not stupid and will never allow Tianmen to become stronger.
Especially those masters, who are now faced with being forced to "ascend", it is easy for them to unite and then destroy Tianmen together.
Tianmen wants to rise, but it faces many difficulties...
But just as Bai Tian expected, the storm was quickly calmed down because Su Ling took action.
This was Su Ling's first real killing spree. She killed twelve masters in one breath, and in just one battle.
After the masters were defeated, many of them were captured and were badly beaten.
Then, Tianmen suddenly appeared because the disciples lurking in Buzhou Mountain came out.
The strength of these Tianmen disciples has become extremely powerful, and each one is more ruthless than the other, they are simply replicas of Xiangliu.
Tianmen also took advantage of this wave of experts to launch a counterattack, controlling experts from all over the place...
Listening to the news during the day, he was quite emotional. To be honest, he really didn't want Su Ling to do such cruel things, but there was no other way. This was the way the human world had to be.
Killing is also a kind of progress.
The human race is becoming more and more complacent, and they must be forced to make progress, otherwise the human race is likely to be extinct in the future war between humans and demons.
Regarding the demon beast clan that Cang Shu mentioned, Bai Tian had no way to control it now. Even if he knew many demon beasts and fierce beasts, it was not enough to control the demon beasts in the entire human world.
During the day, he even considered using the upcoming human-demon war as a catalyst for human progress. But then he thought better of it. If the groundwork wasn't laid properly, it could backfire. And once the human-demon war was over, there would be another collapse.
However, some new ideas emerged during the day: I need to customize a goal for the human race, an eternal goal...
In the following years, his days were quite peaceful. He often traveled between Tianmen and Penglai, occasionally returning to Wanghu and entering the heavens to discuss matters with Zhang Bairen.
However, Tianmen is not peaceful, and the human world is even more unstable.
The killing in the human world has not slowed down because of the appearance of Tianmen. The expansion of human hearts has reached its extreme, and the various desires brought about by cultivation are rapidly devouring people's hearts.
Not only that, Tianmen also discovered that many people began to become keen on studying dark cultivation techniques.
Of course, Tianmen couldn't stop this. Bai Tian had predicted the dark arts many years ago, and it would eventually appear, because human nature has a dark side...
In a blink of an eye, five years have passed.
That day, Su Ling suddenly told Bai Tian with some melancholy that she wanted to go back to the spirit world.
Bai Tian also knew that Su Ling had not been very happy in the human world these years. She did not like killing or disputes.
In Suling's opinion, the human world today is not as good as it was in the primitive tribe days.
But she needed to train and learn in the human world, otherwise she wouldn't be able to build the spirit world in the future. Over the years, Ying Ling and Bai Ze had been handling matters in the spirit world, and it was almost time for Su Ling to return.
After discussing with Bai Fengdu and Emperor Ku during the day, he still chose to return to the spirit world with Su Ling.
For a long time afterwards, the human world would be in chaos, and it wouldn't make much difference whether Haotian existed or not...
But on the day of departure, Bai Tian and Su Ling received some bad news: the Heavenly Court and the Zhou Kingdom in the northwest were fighting.
The specific reason is unclear, but the two sides went to war.
This made Bai Tian feel a little melancholy. Every force had some relationship with him, and he didn't know who to help.
The continuous advancement of civilization has created different concepts of civilization and also triggered countless disputes.
These disputes eventually turned into an inevitable war...
Su Ling was worried about Bai Bei and Bai Xi. They had been in Zhou Kingdom all the time, and she didn't know how they were doing now.
After a brief discussion, Bai Tian and Su Ling decided to go to Zhou Kingdom first to check the situation and bring Bai Bei and Bai Xi back to Tianmen if possible...
As the sun sets, Bai Tian and Su Ling float in the distant trees, both of them with calm expressions.
There was a battlefield in the distance, but the battle was over and there were corpses and debris everywhere.
This place is just the edge of the Zhou Kingdom, but war has also occurred here.
Who knows what they are fighting for?
Su Ling whispered, "During the day, do you feel that the people in the human world are becoming less and less like humans?"
Bai Tian sighed softly, "Su Ling, people haven't changed. It's just that before, when we were hungry, we only thought about how to fill our stomachs. But now, people have more and more resources, so they think more and more."
"The collision of ideas, the differentiation of classes, and so on, are all essential to the evolution of human society."
Su Ling took a deep breath, quite melancholy: "Society, the word you said is really complicated."
Bai Tian sighed, "I feel it's very complicated too. There are so many things I don't understand. But that can't change the fact that society is constantly evolving. As for how it will evolve, I can't predict it."
Society, this word is so complicated that I really can’t understand it during the day.
Su Ling suddenly grabbed Bai Tian's arm, her voice slightly sad: "Bai Tian, I'm tired."
Bai Tian was stunned for a moment, and stroked her hair with a little heartache.
These years have been very difficult for Su Ling.
She has a carefree personality, but all she has seen in the human world over the years is darkness, which must have made her very uncomfortable.
In fact, I am also tired during the day!
I have been busy thinking over the years, and all kinds of annoying things have never stopped.
Tianmen, Penglai, Samsara, Tianji Tiandao, etc...
It can be said that this is the most tiring time of the day. Especially when you often see all kinds of dark things, it makes you even more depressed.
Su Ling leaned her head on Bai Tian's arm and whispered, "Bai Tian, why don't we just stop worrying about it. Anyway, no matter what we do now, it will be a mess."
"Before, we did less, and the world was peaceful. Now that we have Tianmen, it has become even more chaotic."
"Since this transition period is bound to be chaotic, let's just do our best. I'm really tired of watching them mess around every day."
Bai Tian gently stroked her hair, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Maybe, I really should not care about it so much.
Tianmen has been built and Penglai has also been established, but it is impossible to change the chaotic situation in the world in a short period of time.
The world today is actually more like a barbaric period.
Human desires expand rapidly, barbarism collides with civilization, humans collide with monsters, and so on.
Just as Cang Shu said, even if we can predict that there will be a war between humans and demons in the future, there is nothing we can do now because people’s hearts are not united.
Various forces are rising rapidly, and no one is willing to submit to the other. How can they give up their ambitions for the uncertain future of the human race?
Thinking of this, Bai Tian's mind suddenly moved slightly, and he lowered his head: "Su Ling, why don't we go back to the spirit world now. If Bai Xi and the others really have something wrong, it's their own fault."
Su Ling was stunned: "You really don't care?"
Bai Tian smiled softly, "It's not that I don't care about anything, I just won't leave Wanghu. Like you said, our absence won't change the world anyway, so we might as well calm down and build the spirit world and sort out the reincarnation issue. If possible, we can also do something about the heavenly realm."
"Perhaps when the cycle of reincarnation is fully formed, this chaotic and barbaric period will be over."
Su Ling was still a little worried: "But Bai Xi and the others..."
"Well, they're not children anymore. They've lived for so many years. If anything goes wrong, it's their own fault. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. If they don't have any blessings, it means they have bad luck! Yeah, that's it."
"If they're really tired, they'll come back to Forgotten Lake to find us."
Su Ling thought about it and it made sense. If they were really tired, they would all run back happily.
So, Bai Tian and Su Ling turned back and did not go to the Zhou Kingdom in the northwest...
Maybe my mentality changed. On the way back, I even took out a map of mountains and rivers during the day and consciously compared the changes in the terrain of the mountains and forests.
The changes in the mountains and rivers are quite significant, with many mountains flattened and rivers dislocated. Of course, the overall difference is not particularly large.
Bai Tian and Su Ling were very upset about the Mountain and River Map. Even now, the Mountain and River Map has not been completed.
Bai Tian had already figured out the general scope of this world. This was partly from their previous travels and partly from information shared by others. However, for a long time, Bai Tian and Su Ling hadn't had the time to compile the map information.
I think it's time to get down to business...
After returning to Wanghu Lake, in order to prevent someone from looking for him during the day, he deliberately built a stone tablet by the Wanghu Lake in the human world, on which was written: Find Haotian, go into the water.
Afterwards, Bai Tian and Su Ling entered the spirit world.
Su Ling was very happy to finally return to the spirit world. She was even happier after seeing the heroic spirits, and her whole state of mind improved a lot.
Ying Lingzhen is a construction engineer who is obsessed with building houses. She and Bai Zezhen have gathered all the little people in the spirit world, and those little people are growing rapidly under the nourishment of the Ying Ling.
It feels like it won’t be long before the natives of the spirit world wake up.
According to the Heroic Spirit, more and more animals have appeared in the spirit world. With more animals, conflicts have gradually arisen, and occasionally some animals will come here to steal the little people and eat them.
This made Bai Tian sigh that anywhere, as long as there are living things, there is competition... No, there is competition even after death!
"In recent times, so many souls have entered. It feels like the reincarnation channel is about to burst." The heroic spirit was filled with melancholy. "Most of the souls that came in couldn't pass my purification and all dispersed. The sudden increase in soul power caused these people to grow too fast."
"Also, a while ago, colorful lights appeared in the reincarnation passage again. But I couldn't contact Zhang Bairen, and I don't know what's going on. I have a feeling that something big is wrong in the human world."
Su Ling took over the conversation: "The human world is in chaos right now, with people dying everywhere. But Yingling, I think this may be our best opportunity to study reincarnation. Only when enough souls enter and exit the reincarnation channel can we better analyze the channel."
Ying Ling's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Yes, sister, I forgot about that. Sister, I have a good idea. Don't we have alchemy in the human world? I plan to collect some herbs and make some kind of elixir, or even boil it into a medicinal soup."
"From now on, every soul that comes in must first drink my medicinal soup, and then pass through this door I built, and then they can enter the Spirit City, hehe..."
