Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Whether Wei Xi is lucky or not is still unknown, but the situation is definitely heading in a bizarre direction.

Wei, who had endured countless hardships, miraculously regressed to infancy and grew up healthily.

Simply put, Wei Xi has... become a child again!
To be honest, even someone as quick to accept things as Wei Xi needs a lot of time to process the absurd facts.

This process inevitably involved speculation, commotion, and probing. After roughly progressing to the toddler stage, Wei Xi finally realized a fact:
He was determined to make her suffer!

During this time, Wei's father injured some troublemaking villagers with a knife, and the Wei family lost most of their savings. Of course, this action had a strong deterrent effect, allowing Wei Xi to grow up safely.

As for the cold stares, ridicule, and exclusion he suffered during his growth, Wei Xiquan can simply relive those past experiences.

Wei Xi wasn't worried about dying here: it seemed that everything was just a replay of the past. Since she had returned to the past from outside Deadwater City, she would definitely not die in the mountains of Xizhou.

The premise is that Wei Xi does not make any dangerous attempts.

It wasn't that Wei Xi was timid; it was simply that a child who was too weak to even kill a chicken and walked unsteadily was unlikely to make any constructive attempts.

"Her words were so awful; she was way more anxious than I was! I have the upper hand!"

After figuring it out, Wei Xi felt at ease lying down: the most urgent task was to regain his ability to walk, because only a body that could move freely could support a rapidly functioning mind.

Of course, Wei Xi didn't want to take those weird and bitter medicines again this time. Even though the family's money was hard-earned, Wei Xi was still determined to die rather than give in: he refused to speak when he was six months old, and after he could walk, he would run away whenever he smelled medicine. After several attempts, he completely gave up the idea of ​​his parents feeding him medicine to cure his muteness.

"Why did you send me back?" Wei Xi lay on the locust tree trunk. "It would be easy for you to kill me with words. After thinking it over, the key lies in the [thread]."

Six-year-old Wei Xi was enjoying some peace and quiet in the cemetery, calculating what he had gained during this time.

“I tried all four directions: east, west, south, and north. It was foggy outside the village. The cicadas I threw in didn’t move. I tied up a fish, threw it over, and pulled it back, leaving only the noose. It was clearly trying to trap me in the village.”

"Or are you saying that nothing else matters?" Wei Xi's thoughts shifted again. "Only I am important?"

Following this line of thought, Wei Xi couldn't help but connect the dots of what he had said one by one.

Although her words were somewhat "playful," until the discovery of the "threads," this senior's request was still to have Wei Xi replace her bone structure with the one she had preserved to this day.

"What's so unique about her root bone?" Wei Xi pondered to himself. "Is her cultivation level all in there? But shouldn't such words be enough to restrain me? Does she also have a [Connecting Thread] in her root bone?"

"Could it be that he got so angry because he saw that I also had one?"

Wei Xi was amused by her own thoughts. She felt relaxed at this moment: although she didn't know why Yan Ci was deviating from the original plan, her life was not in danger; moreover, Yan Ci said she would give her the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, so it wouldn't make Qin Feng anxious.

Yes, the words have deviated from the plan formulated by Zuo Fei and others a thousand years ago.

Deducing what happened back then from a few words was not difficult for Wei Xi.

"In order to pass down their innate talents, Zuo Fei and his generation set up a device in the abyss. From my experience, these talents are probably matched one by one."

"The task of words is to exchange her physical attributes with a suitable match. This way, the successor can take away something from her physical attributes... something like 'threads'?"

"But did Yan Ci choose to change the plan because [Tethering Silk] has already taken over my root bone? So the exchange is impossible?" "That doesn't make sense either. If having [Tethering Silk] on your root bone is so powerful, how did I end up in this predicament?"

Wei Xi, amused by his own weakness, rolled over in the tree and pondered, "My innate constitution and [Entangling Silk]... my words have already attained enlightenment and ascended to immortality, severely damaging the Heavenly Dao."

A dry wind blew through the treetops, causing the half-dried, yellowish-green locust leaves to sway gently before returning to stillness.

Wei Xi suddenly sat up, shaking a tree full of locust leaves.

"【Threads】are the warp and weft of heaven and earth! They are the way of heaven! She wants to give me her own way!"

Wei Xi's back was damp, and cold sweat slid down his spine.

To be fair, Wei Xi had previously been unwilling to deceive herself or acknowledge the relationship between the "threads" and the warp and weft of the universe. Furthermore, her memory was impaired, and she had completely forgotten her experience of truly confronting the warp and weft of the universe, thus her attitude towards the "threads" was ambiguous.

But the cryptic and suggestive rhetoric, like the morning bell and evening drum, tightly connects everything in a subtle way.

"No wonder!" Wei Xi's heart was filled with shock. "No wonder! These people have exhausted all their efforts just to deceive everyone... What a scheme! What a cunning method!"

After the initial excitement subsided, Wei Xi calmed himself and quietly sorted out his thoughts:
After Zuo Fei glimpsed the secrets of the Heavenly Dao, he ventured into the abyss (the final abyss) and discovered that Yin and Yang energies could be spun into threads. Perhaps the predecessors represented by Zuo Fei will also discover how these Yin and Yang threads (as Wei Xi calls them) become all things in the universe.

With the Yu Immortal Boat serving as a cautionary tale, it is likely that anyone who glimpses the secrets of the Heavenly Dao will face persecution.

Wei Xi speculated that the person responsible for the pursuit might be Tiandi Jingwei—the one who used this trick to kill Yu Xianzhou—or it might be the enigmatic "Weaver of Heaven."

The warp and weft of heaven and earth are the concrete manifestation of the Way of Heaven. If we only refer to the warp and weft of heaven and earth as carrying out the Way of Heaven and maintaining order, isn't that a bit superficial?

Wei Xi once speculated that the mortal world would give back to the Heavenly Dao, and his words also revealed that the Heavenly Dao needed "something new".

Thus, things become clear—the warp and weft of heaven and earth are themselves part of the Way of Heaven.

To illustrate, the Heavenly Dao, like a weaver, possesses only two materials: Yin and Yang. After spinning these into thread, part of it is used as warp and weft, while the other part is woven into all things. All things develop under the "control" of the warp and weft, and everything experienced after death is received again by the warp and weft of Heaven and Earth along with the Yin and Yang energy, thus nourishing the Heavenly Dao.

This theory is somewhat audacious, but all indications suggest that the more groundbreaking it is, the closer it is to the truth of the wilderness.

“There may not have been so many in the beginning of the universe… It was only as the mortal world grew and the power of the Heavenly Dao gradually increased that more and more materials became available to it, and the number of the universe expanded accordingly.”

"No wonder the demon beasts secretly rebelled against the Heavenly Dao! No wonder the seniors like Zuo Feiyan took such a risky move! Doing something that benefits others... anyone with a bit of backbone would never do it!"

"The Sky Weaver... she says she's a half-finished product. Could it be understood that attaining the Dao means adding new dimensions to the universe, and that cultivators who add these Daos... become Sky Weavers?"

Thinking about this, Wei Xi's mind was in turmoil. She knew very little about the Sky Weavers, and no matter how she thought about it, something felt off.

"However, severely damaging the Heavenly Dao was the right thing to do, as these people directly divided the power of the Heavenly Dao."

Wei Xi admired her, but a new question arose: what exactly was this "[Threading Silk]"? (End of Chapter)
