The Ten Directions of Heaven and Earth

Xiao Chen felt very incredible and circled around this black basalt stone several times. However, this stone always stood here quietly without moving at all. (っ◔◡◔)っ

But at that moment, he had never felt that wonderful feeling before, as if at that moment, he was this stone, standing here for thousands of years, seeing all the prosperity and loneliness in the world, that feeling... What exactly is it?

When he carefully placed his hand on the stone again, he could no longer feel the mysterious state just now. In just such a short moment, that feeling disappeared.

"Is there something weird about this stone?"

Xiao Chen's expression became slightly solemn. He put his hand on the stone and a stream of spiritual consciousness immediately penetrated it. However, no matter how he looked at it with his spiritual consciousness, he found that this was just an ordinary stone. Because of its hard material, it had weathered many years of wind and rain. Does not fall.

He even searched the bottom of the mountain with his spiritual consciousness. It was just an ordinary mountain on the edge of the East China Sea, and there was nothing there.

"Strange...how could this happen?"

He couldn't figure it out. He had never encountered such a magical feeling just now during his previous practice. Why did touching an ordinary stone produce such a magical feeling?

"No...no!" ❊

At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something. This stone was just an ordinary stone, but at that moment, he saw the vastness of the world, and his state of mind changed.

This stone faces the heaven and the earth and has never moved for thousands of years. But just standing next to it, I have a deep understanding that for thousands of years, no matter the prosperity or loneliness of the world, it has never changed or moved here.

Why do you have such a state of mind? Could this be what Ku Lingzi said before...the kind of artistic conception of comprehending the way of heaven?

wrong……

What is the way of heaven?

Isn’t it supposed to be the ups and downs of all things? Why insist on seeking that kind of immortality? If it is like this stone, no matter how the years change, it will never live or die, but it can see the prosperity and loneliness of this world, how can it be limited to life and death?

At this moment, he seemed to realize a higher level of artistic conception, not that of comprehending the way of heaven, nor that of pursuing immortality, but a higher level of artistic conception...the state of immortality and immortality!

"Neither birth nor death..."

At this moment, Xiao Chen seemed to have a sharp lightning flashing through his heart. He did not hesitate anymore. Taking advantage of this fleeting realization, he immediately sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and entered a state where he was not affected by the outside world. Let’s feel the emptiness and clarity of this disturbing state of mind!

One day passed, two days passed, and on the third day, he finally opened his eyes. At this moment, his eyes were clear. In just three days, he seemed to have been reborn, even though he was slowly moving at this moment. The movements of Gong Tuna also have a sense of transcendence.

"I see……"

With a gentle smile, Xiao Chen stood up and looked at the calm sea in the distance. In the past three days, his perception of the outside world had become much clearer. In the past, his consciousness was at most He can only detect ten miles, but now, if there is no obstruction, he can at least detect his spiritual consciousness a hundred miles away.

In this life, he will never understand the artistic conception of heaven as Ku Lingzi said.

Whether it is the Enlightenment Realm, the Lower Xuan Realm, the Middle Xuan Realm or the Upper Xuan Realm, these four realms are not only the Taoist Realm, but also a kind of artistic realm.

But now, he has realized his own artistic conception, which is the artistic conception of immortality. But now, he only has a preliminary understanding. He still needs to be like other cultivators, such as those in the Wuxuan realm, to understand the Xiaxuan realm. , cultivators of the Lower Mysterious Realm go to comprehend the Middle Mysterious Realm...

And he needs to continue to understand the artistic conception of immortality that he has just realized, layer by layer, and finally... maybe he will really reach such a state of immortality.

Countless people in the world are all trying their best to understand the way of heaven and understand the artistic conception of heaven. But today, he has realized a higher level of artistic conception just because of a stone on the seaside. It must be destiny.

At this moment, Xiao Chen looked at the basalt stone beside him, stretched out his hand and touched it gently, "I never thought that it was because of you that Xiao realized the state of immortality today... If Xiao really reaches that state in the future, , will definitely come back to see you again.”

After that, he slowly retracted his palm and said, "You and I are destined, so why not, I will name you 'Jieshi'. From now on, you have one more friend, and I have one more friend."

After he finished speaking, he put his two fingers together and was about to carve the word "Jieshi" on the stone, but suddenly stopped, thinking that this stone had stood untouched for thousands of years in the East China Sea, why should it be changed today? Change it yourself?

Thinking of this, he smiled in relief and took his hand back.

A breeze blew slowly, and he looked at the sea and sky in the distance... Weiyang, wait for me to come back.

After going down the mountain, he came to a seaside town, which was close to the East China Sea. Most of the residents made a living by fishing. The land on this side of the East China Sea was actually a small country, but compared to the prosperity of the Five Realms of Xianyuan, this place lagged behind. There are many, but the only advantage is that the people are simple and simple, and there is less intrigue in the world.

As he walked along, there were not many people in the town, but it was not deserted either. Most of them were busy with their own livelihood.

It seemed that he had realized a new artistic conception. At this moment, he had a little more understanding of the lives of these mortals. Thinking back to that time in Ningcun, wasn't it the same? But because he embarked on the path to immortality, everything was lost...

Thinking of Ningcun and Wuniang, Xiao Chen felt a little more sad in his heart. Since the incident in Ningcun, he could dream of his mother sewing and cooking for him, and every time he started weaving in winter after autumn. Clothes, I always think about it, why Chen'er hasn't come back yet? This clothes must be a little too small for him now...

"Aunt..."

His eyes gradually turned a little red from the wind. Perhaps he saw the simple folk customs in this small town, similar to Ningcun, or perhaps he saw the children surrounding his mother, but the sadness in his heart gradually disappeared little by little. spread.

After calming down his mind, he stopped thinking about Ningcun and Aniang and continued to move forward. He wanted to go to sea, so he naturally needed a big ship. The shipyard was in the southeast of the town.

After a while, he arrived at the shipyard pier. The shipowner was an honest man and was leading the men to work. When he saw someone coming, he immediately stepped forward to welcome him, "This little brother, are you going to take a boat to a nearby town?"

Xiao Chen glanced at the dock and pointed to the sturdiest ship, "I want that ship, how much money?"

When the boat owner heard that he wanted to buy a boat and saw that he was a stranger, he was immediately surprised: "Brother, you are not going to go to sea, are you? This is absolutely impossible. There is a fish monster on the sea these days, and everyone who goes to sea , no one came back. Did you see the big waves the past few days? It was the fish monster making trouble..."

Xiao Chen glanced at him, "You, a boatman, are always talking nonsense. The East China Sea is guarded by Lord Meng Zhang, so how can there be any fish monsters?"

"this……"

The boat owner was paused by what he said, and Xiao Chen looked at the sea again. Now his consciousness was much sharper, and he also noticed a strange force on the sea, but it was not a fish monster. It was faintly like a force coming from the sea. The mysterious power of the East...
