Xuanxia

Chapter 843 Heaven's Way

When the master opens his eyes, all the teachings of the Tao become visible.

In an instant, countless lights flashed before Qi's eyes. The hall beside him disappeared, and the surrounding snow-capped mountains also disappeared.

All he could see was endless brilliant light!
In the distance there seemed to be a big door hidden in the clouds. It slowly opened, revealing countless mysteries and knowledge. Millions of Taoist Tai Chi fish emerged from the door and swam freely in the river formed by countless brilliant lights.

Looking at them, Qi's pupils also turned colorful.

This is the Tao!
Although Qi cannot understand them now and is very far away from that door, he knows that this is the path he wants to learn!
But just as he was yearning for it, a sense of obstruction emerged.

This obstruction was like a sudden cold wind, which made Qi's heart shiver.

The river of light that was originally flowing smoothly suddenly became turbulent. The Tai Chi fish that were swimming freely seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, swimming upstream and disappearing into the chaos.

Cracks began to appear in Qi's field of vision, as if the space itself was resisting his prying eyes.

From those cracks, wisps of black mist emanated, whispering seductively, trying to corrode his mind: "Give up. The path of cultivation is so long and so difficult. How can your mortal body withstand these endless tests?"

At the same time, all kinds of images emerged in Qi's mind.

Those were scenes from the future, all the difficulties he encountered in his practice... bottlenecks that could not be broken, enemies' ambushes, the gentle indulgence of family and love, old friends who had to draw their swords against each other...

All these scenes were so real that boredom and pain began to grow in Qi's heart.

This is the inner demon, a trial that practitioners must face.

The practice method of Wuliang Taiji Palace is never to wait for the inner demons to come to you.

They took the initiative to show their disciples the beauty of the Tao and to expose their inner demons in order to hone their disciples' character.

But soon, Qi just smiled: "Wandering freely, not burdened by external things; following your heart, you can go far."

Therefore, he stopped trying to break through the bottleneck and instead traveled around famous mountains and rivers and saw the prosperity of the world.

Since the enemy has a reason to fight, he no longer cares whether he has enough strength left, but charges forward and fights to the death.

The people around him wanted him to stay, but he felt regretful, so he simply stayed and stayed with them day and night.

His former friends had different positions and became enemies. He knew that his friends were not wrong and he was not wrong either, so the only thing wrong was the position itself. Therefore, he joined forces with his friends and formed alliances to eliminate all conflicts of position.

The path of spiritual practice is long and difficult, but if you keep a free mind, follow your heart and don't get attached, those problems will be easily solved.

"Carefree? Satisfied?"

The voice in the void said leisurely: "Then let's see what your freedom and your satisfaction are."

The next moment, the picture in Qi's mind changed again.

He saw a desolate scene and countless miserable scenes.

Famine, war, epidemic, natural disasters...

He walked alone among millions of people, stopping before every suffering person and lending a helping hand.

He gradually became thinner and older, but he never stopped.

Qi seemed to have spent hundreds or thousands of years in this moment, and tears even flowed from his eyes unconsciously.

“You have a compassionate heart.”

The voice sounded again: "This is not Xiaoyao."

“Why is compassion not freedom?”

Qi's state of mind seemed to be affected by something, and he said subconsciously: "I grew up in the war-torn Baihua City. The people there hate me and fear me... But I know that what they hate and fear is not me, but hunger, poverty, disease, disaster, and death."

"I don't want to see them suffer like that, I want to eliminate their pain..."

“This world is full of prosperity and endless joy, but there are also countless people suffering.”

He raised his head and whispered to the unknown being in the void: "The freedom I want is a life without pain or disaster... Compared to my own happy freedom, that is the real freedom!"

"oh……?"

The voice in the void seemed a little surprised: "This boy has an extraordinary character... You can come and take a look."

A beginner's guide?
Qi woke up slightly with a start.

All kinds of scenes and images flashed across his mind, and countless complex emotions surged. He seemed to be really trapped in those illusions and couldn't extricate himself, as if he had really experienced everything that spanned several years, even decades, or even hundreds of years. It was not until this moment that he came back to his senses.

When I came to my senses, everything I had just experienced seemed like a dream, like sand through my fingers, disappearing in an instant.

All that is left is a very faint impression.

Of course, he didn't have time to think about what had just happened.

At this moment, the gate in the distant clouds appeared again in front of Qi's eyes.

In just a moment, the door suddenly approached and enveloped him!

"Go ahead..."

The voice in the void said faintly: "This is my infinite Tai Chi supreme inheritance, which can give you a glimpse of the way of heaven... If you can understand a little bit from it, you will have the opportunity to reach the selfless realm in the future... Child, it depends on your opportunity, but you must also be careful. The weight of the great way is beyond words. If you feel something is wrong, quit at any time."

The light from the gate completely engulfed Qi.

His eyes widened.

Here, there is nothing but black and white.

They are like two balls of ink thrown into water, entangled, confused, and surging without any rules.

But for some reason, Qi's heart trembled slightly.

He didn't understand what exactly he saw, but he did feel that he saw something.

From those irregular black and white colors...

"Is it... reincarnation? No, it's not."

Kai's eyes widened as he muttered, "It's... a cycle."

"This world is a big cycle! It transcends life and death, transcends cultivation itself, and even transcends the Tao! The Tao of Heaven is also in this cycle! The Tao of Heaven...want to break free?!"

A huge fear suddenly arose in Qi's heart.

In this irregular black and white, he saw something extremely terrifying.

The life and death of a person, the change of a dynasty, and the destruction of a world are all meaningless.

Everything that people have today will return to dust in tens of millions of years.

Tens of millions of years later, new people will be born.

They will forget everything in the past, but repeat everything in the past.

This cycle goes on and on endlessly.

So, what is the purpose of practicing?
So, what is the purpose of survival?
What I want is for countless people to be happy and to eliminate suffering, but if the end of all this is still extinction and nothingness, then what is the point of doing this?
Nothing lasts forever.

No matter how hard you try, even if you reach the state of selfless god, you will not be able to transcend in the end!

What's the point? What's the point?
Qi's mentality collapsed.

His eyes became unfocused and his breathing became rapid.

He thought of what his master said before entering the gate... The importance of the great way is beyond words, and if you feel something is not right, you can quit at any time.

But he didn't want to quit.

He always felt that he could see more!

Maybe... maybe there is a way to solve the problem?
He was afraid, confused, and looking forward to it...

Then, I heard a voice as thin as a mosquito ringing in my ears!

"Come and help me..."

"Help me, end this..."

"Please, help me..."
