I practice cultivation cautiously in a strange world

What is Tao?

This problem often arises among monks, and it is also the foundation of monks' practice. However, the Tao is invisible, and each monk has a different understanding of the Tao.

Chen Lin believes that at the beginning of the birth of all things in the world, they all have their own consciousness and their own 'Tao'.

Everything from the sun, moon and stars to every plant and tree has its own complete and independent way of operating, which is endless and undefeated.

However, all things have strengths and weaknesses, and the vitality of the weak is plundered by the strong, so there is birth, old age, illness, and death.

Practitioners compete with heaven, earth, and all things. What they strive for is not to be robbed of their own vitality, and in turn rob all things, so as to harmonize themselves, extend their lifespan, and pursue immortality.

But where there is plunder, there is resistance, and when there is resistance there is oppression.

In this process, various changes will be encountered and endless desires will arise. Therefore, if monks want to go far, they need to stick to their beliefs and turn their beliefs into strength to overcome obstacles and break through shackles.

Belief is Tao, and the power derived from your own beliefs is your own Taoism!

Therefore, monks generally believe that "Yi" is the prototype of "Tao", and those who can understand "Yi" in advance are more likely to understand "Tao".

Chen Lin also agreed with this point.

He felt that if it were his master, Fairy Baiyin, it would be easier for him to understand his own way.

The other party has understood the spear intention to an extremely high level, and may have touched the edge of the 'Tao'.

There is also grass.

The purity of the opponent's sword intention can be regarded as a kind of Tao in itself.

However, he couldn't compare to the situation of these two people, and he himself had never understood any 'meaning'. If he wanted to make better use of this Taoist Stone, he had to rely on his own innate ability.

This is also the only way to use the Taoist Stone before your cultivation has reached the late stage of Void Refining.

Chen Lin adjusted his mentality, calmed down, and began to use secret techniques to absorb the energy of the Taoist Stone.

This step is easy.

In fact, even if there is no secret method, the energy in the Taoist Stone will still be connected with the source of talent.

Back when he was in the Holy Bone Ship, it was the energy of the Daoist Stone that was automatically attracted by the source of his talent and entered his body, forcing the demon species to appear.

The difficulty lies in how to utilize the energy of the Taoist Stone.

The function of the secret method is to form a bond, integrating the energy of the Taoist Stone into the source of talent, thereby producing changes and amplifying the understanding of one's own talent.

Chen Lin held the Taoist Stone in his hand.

The Taoist Stone resonates with the source of talent, and a soft energy emanates from it, enters the body along the palm of the hand, and then is guided by the secret method and merges with the source of talent.

In fact, there is no real fusion, it is just a wrapping of the original talent.

But with the blessing of this energy, the fluctuations of the origin have become clearer. In the past, they could only be sensed hazily, but now they have become extremely clear.

Immediately, the picture of the line of destiny automatically unfolded in the sea of ​​consciousness, and a thick line slowly emerged, getting longer and wider.

Like a golden river, extending into the boundless void.

Chen Lin felt that he had become a fish, swimming in the river, and every time he swam, it was a wonderful picture of life.

At the same time, he was still a bystander, sitting on the shore and watching himself swimming.

This feeling is amazing, using two different senses to verify the same life.

But no matter how I swim in the river, and how I struggle and change, I can only move in one direction, and there is the endless abyss.

As for me, who was watching on the shore, I knew that if this continued, I could only drift with the tide and die naturally, but I had no choice but to watch quietly.

Because he is just a consciousness, even if he sees thousands of roads ahead, he has no ability to change them.

The fish fell into the abyss in the struggle, and the golden river disappeared.

Chen Lin's body trembled and he woke up.

After thinking about it for a while, he seemed to have some enlightenment and once again absorbed the energy from the Taoist Stone.

The golden river appeared again, and his consciousness was still divided into two. One turned into a fish and kept struggling in the waves of life, while the other watched quietly.

But this time he was no longer willing to be a spectator, but tried to change, and the method was the tentacles formed by his innate ability.

Since this tentacle can correct the line of fate, it should be able to control oneself in the golden river.

However, correcting the lines of destiny is very close at hand, and the lines are fixed and can be easily touched. However, this river of destiny is wide and long, and there are endless changes in the rough waves. The small fish that oneself has transformed into is looming, sometimes invisible to everyone. Not to mention fidgeting with tentacles.

And the tentacles are simply not long enough.

After several tests, until the energy of the Taoist Stone was exhausted, Chen Lin failed to achieve what he wanted.

However, he was not discouraged, and drew another burst of energy to start again.

This goes on and on, over and over again.

Chen Lin didn't know how long he had been swimming in the river of destiny, nor how many times he had tried to gather tentacles, nor even how many times he had inspired images of destiny.

Forgot time and space.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound.

The Taoist Stone in his hand finally ran out of energy and shattered into pieces.

Chen Lin, who was as if he was petrified, opened his eyes.

suddenly.

There was a flash of light in his eyes, and he raised his hand, and a hazy river appeared, exuding mysterious fluctuations.

However, this river is not golden, but gray-white, and it is also very small. If you look at it from a distance, it looks like a gray-white line.

Even so, it didn't last long, and soon it slowly collapsed.

Chen Lin shook his head.

Logically speaking, this should be regarded as a successful enlightenment, obtaining a new innate magical power, or mastering a new method of using the innate ability.

The expected goals were basically achieved.

But this magical power is too weak, and it doesn't seem to be very powerful. Although it should have strong growth potential, it doesn't help him much at the moment.

"Anyway, it was a waste of a Taoist stone to make it. It needs to be tested carefully."

Chen Lin stood up, moved his stiff body, and then called Xiaocao in.

"Xiaocao, how long have I been in seclusion?"

His consciousness was wandering in the long river of destiny, and he could hardly remember the time. He only felt that it was very, very long.

And every repetition is a reincarnation. Although I am awake on the shore, I still feel like I have experienced countless lives.

"Master, half a year has passed."

Chen Lin took a breath.

I didn't expect that so much time had passed in a blink of an eye. The energy contained in the Taoist Stone was really enough.

"Let's go out and find a place to try the power of this magical power!"

Chen Lin said hello and left the courtyard with Xiaocao.

field.

In a certain mountain forest.

Chen Lin looked at a low-level monster, a gray-feathered chicken, on the tree. With a wave of his hand, the gray-white river appeared.

As soon as he thought, the shadow suddenly fell on the gray-feathered chicken.

The gray-feathered chicken didn't feel anything and was still squatting on the branch of the tree looking around.

At the same time, an image of a gray-white river appeared in Chen Lin's mind. There were some criss-crossing lines in the river, and a small fish in the shape of a gray-feathered chicken was swimming along the lines.

Chen Lin realized something in his heart.

He controlled the power of luck, condensed his tentacles like knives, and used force to cut off a line node in front of the little fish.

As soon as he finished, the phantom of the river couldn't hold on and collapsed, and the aura on his body instantly faded.

Pu Lingling...

The gray-feathered chicken seemed to sense something and flapped its wings and flew up.

But at this moment, a stream of light shot out, directly piercing the fat body of the gray-feathered chicken and falling to the ground.

"Haha, what a big gray-feathered chicken. Junior sister, you are in for a treat today!"

A young man appeared, laughed, picked up the gray-feathered chicken, and showed off to a young female cultivator behind him.

Chen Lin and Xiao Cao stood in the distance, looking at this scene with strange expressions. They did not step forward and slowly disappeared into the void.

Then, he found some other monsters and monks for experiments.

Finally a conclusion was reached.

The current function of this magical power is to pull the target into the gray river, and then he can see the opponent's thread of destiny and change it through the tentacles of destiny.

This is a quite remarkable ability expansion, extending his innate ability from changing his own destiny to changing the destiny of others.

However, due to the strength of the source and the influence of one's own cultivation, this magical power has great limitations.

First of all, the time that the gray river can be maintained is very short, and if you want to change the fate of the target, you must do it before the river shadow collapses, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted.

Secondly, the river shadow needs to act on the target in order to project the opponent's fate.

The most critical point is that the power of his destiny tentacles is too weak. Even if the target's destiny is successfully projected, it will be difficult to cut off the opponent's thread of destiny, and the attack power is not strong.

After several experiments, Chen Lin basically mastered the strength of this magical power.

Targets at the Qi training level can easily cut off the opponent's main line of destiny, or even directly chop the opponent's main body of small fish, making it certain to die.

If you want to cut off the main line of destiny for a foundation-building level existence, you have to consume some energy, and you have to recover for a while every time you use it.

As for the golden elixir level, the main line of fate cannot be cut off, only the smaller branch lines can be cut off. It cannot cause indirect death, but it can make the opponent's luck worse.

Those above the Golden Core level cannot project the main line of the target's destiny at all. The higher the level of cultivation, the fewer and hazy the lines that can be projected. They are all small branches, and the things that can be changed are minimal.

However, although it seems weak, there is no doubt about the growth potential of this magical power. Even now, if it is used well, it can have unexpected effects.

In a battle between strong men, a little change can change the outcome.

So Chen Lin is quite satisfied.

In addition, this magical power is essentially to change the fate of others, which is a step closer to Niu Niu's needs.

If you realize this magical power to an extremely strong level, you should be able to help Niu Niu and solve the other party's dilemma.

Although it is still far away, there is finally hope.

"Junior Han Jinshan, I would like to pay my respects to my senior. Thank you very much for your kindness in guiding us!"

Back in the courtyard, Fatty Han was actually there. He immediately paid homage to Chen Lin after seeing him.

Chen Lin accepted it calmly.

The other party has been promoted to the golden elixir realm. With the other party's qualifications, it is absolutely impossible to succeed if it were not for the four-line seven-star elixir.

"Becoming a Golden Elixir cultivator means you have enough longevity. As long as you stick to your Taoist heart, it may not be impossible to condense the Nascent Soul."

Hearing Chen Lin's words, Fatty Han gave a wry smile and said, "Thank you, senior, for the advice, but I know my own situation. Being able to form an elixir is already a blessing, but I don't dare to expect Nascent Soul."

After a pause, he continued: "To be honest with you, I have decided to run a shop in the city, recruit a few female cultivators, and start a family."

Chen Lin didn't say anything else. Everyone has his own ambitions, and the other party's approach cannot be said to be wrong.

Given the situation of the other party, even if you practice hard, there is a high probability that it will be all in vain in the end. Carpe diem is not a bad choice.

But he himself, no matter when, will never give up on the road of greatness. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he will work hard to fight for it.

Suddenly, Chen Lin's heart moved.

He looked at the other party and said, "Relax and don't resist!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and the gray river shadow enveloped the other party.

Fatty Han felt a very mysterious force envelope him. It was very faint. If he hadn't been promoted to the golden elixir, he might not even be able to feel it.

But he believed that Chen Lin had no reason to harm him. Even if he really wanted to harm him, he couldn't resist, so he just stood there, motionless.

In the sea of ​​knowledge.

Chen Lin looked at the opponent's destiny projection with a look of surprise.

Because the other party took the initiative to let go of his mind, the main line of fate, although dim, was still revealed. However, on the route of the little fish transformed by the other party, the main line was disconnected!

There is only one possibility in this situation, and that is that the other party will have a fatal crisis in the near future!

When the time is up, the projection collapses.

Chen Lin looked at Fatty Han closely, frowning.

"Senior Chen, what happened?"

Fatty Han was so frightened by the sight that he asked nervously.

Chen Lin shook his head.

He didn't explain it to the other party because he didn't want his talent to be revealed. Furthermore, fate was unpredictable and changing all the time. He didn't dare to be sure that the projected situation would definitely happen.

Even if the magical prediction is accurate, it is impossible for the other person to change himself. He may have the ability to change, but he doesn't know what the consequences of modifying other people's fate will be and whether there will be backlash.

After all, this kind of modification is different from directly cutting off the thread of fate. Cutting off the thread of fate is enough, and this modification is likely to be contaminated with cause and effect.

"You can't see anything yet. Let's go back first. Come back at this time tomorrow and I'll check again."

Chen Lin thought for a while and decided to pay attention.

After all, the two of them had some friendship, and they couldn't bear to watch each other die.

In addition, despite the fact that he has mastered the talent of destiny for so many years, he has always been in the exploration stage and has never truly understood destiny.

Now that I have obtained a new magical power, the opponent's situation can be used to test the effect.
