Spiritual energy resurgence? My former empress wife has also revived!

"Do you know who I am? I am the ancient Moon Goddess, supreme and noble. You are already extremely fortunate to have seen me... Now that you know, why don't you release me and kneel down before me?"

"You...you have quite the nerve, daring to make me your maidservant? A concubine? Then I'll just be a maidservant."

"If this were ancient times, I would have already skinned you alive and burned your soul to make lamps. Now that I've spared your life, aren't you grateful?"

"You ask how someone as powerful as me died? Well... you can't blame me. I encountered the most terrifying and monstrous demon in the world. Fortunately, that demon has been dead for tens of thousands of years, while I am still alive. I won!"

"..."

"Don't worry, I am a god. Do you see the moon in the sky? That is me. With my abilities, I can definitely help you cultivate. In the future, when you see the moon, you should pray to it more often."

"It's getting cold, and you have no cultivation, so you should wear more clothes and not catch a cold... You say this garment is well-sewn? Ha, that's true, but mere needlework is far beyond what mortals can learn."

"Qin Zijun, you absolutely cannot die! I don't care about these things. If you die... I'll... I'll die with you!"

"..."

In an instant, a series of images unfolded in Qin Zijun's mind.

It was as if, through layers of veils, a beautiful young woman, aloof and noble, with an unparalleled beauty, appeared before him, seemingly both angry and playful, teasing and joking with him, and occasionally showing him slight anger and resentment.

In that lifetime, he lived the life of an ordinary person and left behind a great reputation after his death. With the body of an ordinary person, he cultivated himself into a Confucian sage and suppressed the Taiqing with a Confucian heart.

However, compared to his achievements in that life, perhaps the aloof and proud girl who was always by his side is the one he can never forget.

"Brother Qin, Brother Qin, what are you thinking about?"

My thoughts were pulled back, and what appeared before me was Yin Hang's somewhat simple and honest face.

Qin Zijun chuckled and shook her head, saying, "It's nothing. It's just that your mention of the moon reminded me of some old friends and memories."

Yin Hang's eyes lit up, and he chuckled, "What old friend or story is it? Brother Qin, could you tell me about it?"

He knew that Qin Zijun had been reincarnated several times, and that the old friends and stories Qin Ge mentioned must all be things from the cultivation world.

As a modern cultivator, Yin Hang has both a strong curiosity and a longing for the grand and prosperous world of cultivation, and always wants to learn more about it.

However, he did not know any other reincarnated individuals, and many of them were unwilling to recall their past, which he found quite regrettable.

Only in front of Brother Qin could he learn more about the secrets of the cultivation world.

Qin Zijun didn't tell him, but simply said, "You'll know when the time is right."

Yin Hang is not stupid; on the contrary, he is quite intelligent.

When I mentioned the moon, Brother Qin suddenly changed. Could it be...?

He tentatively asked, "Could it be that you know that mysterious reincarnated being on the moon, Brother Qin?"

Qin Zijun shook her head: "The history of the cultivation world is too long. In the ancient times, there were several generations of gods. The older gods and the gods later on were not the same person."

"So, I may or may not know the reincarnated being on the moon that you mentioned."

Seeing that he couldn't get any answers from Qin Zijun, Yin Hang had no choice but to give up.

He cleared his throat and brought the topic back: "Brother Qin, you said that this matter concerning Buddhism was the work of ancient gods, which means that this matter is related to the so-called ancient gods."

"Brother Qin, can you handle this?"

Yin Hang has no interest in fame or the like, nor does he have any desire to show off in front of others.

However, as a member of the Zhuxia people, he saw that the Zhuxia people were in trouble and wanted to contribute his strength to help solve the problem.

He knew he didn't have the ability, so he could only ask Qin Zijun for help.

Qin Zijun said calmly, "There is only one thing you need to do now, and that is to 'wait'."

"Wait?" Yin Hang's eyes widened.

"We just wait, wait for that ancient god, the mastermind behind everything, to come out, and then kill him. Then the matter will be resolved naturally."

Qin Zijun seemed to be talking about something trivial.

For him, it was indeed a trivial matter.

He has cultivated for countless lifetimes and encountered far too many things to be easily startled.

As for patriotic sentiments, they are unlikely to stir the heart of someone who has lived for over a million years.

Qin Zijun simply pays more attention to the people around him and those with whom he has a karmic connection.

Yin Hang asked in surprise, "Brother Qin, besides waiting, can't you take the initiative to do something? I've heard that powerful cultivators can predict the future; Brother Qin, you should be able to do that too, right?"

"Instead of waiting for the mastermind to reveal themselves, why not find out where they are first and then take the initiative?"

Qin Zijun held Huahua and gently stroked the cat, his posture casual and his demeanor composed. He said, "If this were the cultivation world, your idea would be good, but in this modern era of spiritual resurgence, it's impossible to achieve."

Why?

Yin Hang has always been quick to learn and eager to ask questions, never wanting to miss any point of knowledge.

"Do you know the principles behind what you call 'divination,' or 'fortune telling'?"

"Please enlighten me, Brother Qin!"

Yin Hang immediately became excited. He straightened his posture, like a studious student, and listened attentively.

Qin Zijun said, "Then let's explain it using some theories that modern people can understand better. Have you heard of the 'Demon of Laplace'?"

Yin Hang's spirits lifted, and he said, "Laplace proposed a hypothesis in 1814."

"If there were a 'wise man' in this world who knew the position and momentum of every atom in the universe, he could completely predict the causal chain of the universe through the laws of physics, and thus deduce everything in the past and future."

"Brother Qin, do you mean that cultivators' divination of celestial secrets is similar to the 'Demon of Laplace'?"

Qin Zijun nodded and then shook her head: "You're only right about one thing. Even if you become 'Laplace's Demon,' you can only calculate the laws of physics. You can predict external forces and changes in the natural environment. You're still missing a variable, an important internal factor."

As if struck by a sudden inspiration, Yin Hang exclaimed, "It's the human heart!"

Qin Zijun praised, "Not bad, you do have some understanding, although your aptitude is a bit lacking."

Yin Hang felt awkward.

I know I'm not very talented, but Brother Qin, you don't have to keep saying it!

Qin Zijun continued to explain: "In Buddhism, there is a concept called 'Alaya-vijnana,' which is the collection of a person's unconscious."

"Alaya consciousness is formless and intangible, but to better understand it, you can imagine it as a space that gathers the unconsciousness of all mankind."

"In the Alaya consciousness, people are unconscious, but those who practice the arts of divination and celestial secrets can transform their Alaya consciousness from unconscious to conscious."

"In the space of Alaya consciousness, once you have consciousness, you can perceive the thoughts and ideas of everyone else."

"The so-called calculation of heavenly secrets is to deduce external environmental variables and internal human nature variables. All external and internal factors are reflected in one's own mind, so one can naturally glimpse the past and predict the future."

Qin Zijun's explanation was not complicated, and Yin Hang understood it immediately.

The so-called calculation of heavenly secrets means first understanding all external physical laws, and that all natural evolution operates according to those laws without the influence of "humans".

Then, after understanding the external laws, we add the variable of "human nature".

No matter how a person changes their thinking or how they think, as long as they can perceive the other person's thoughts in their Alaya consciousness and calculate the influence of the "person", they can know the past and the future.

Yin Hang clicked his tongue and said, "This...this sounds too difficult."

Qin Zijun nodded and said, "It is indeed very difficult. There are too many factors involved and too many variables to consider. Therefore, this method of divination is the most mysterious and difficult of all cultivation methods."

"The scheming among those with great supernatural powers is about who has more control over variables and can grasp more cause and effect, and who will have the upper hand."

Yin Hang's heart skipped a beat, and he cautiously asked, "Then, Brother Qin, how much can you calculate?"

"Me? I can calculate more than the average person with great supernatural powers, but it's impossible for me to see all the changes. I guess only after becoming an immortal can I achieve that."

Qin Zijun spoke quite frankly and frankly.

He is now only a "half-step true immortal," unable to perceive all the changes in the universe, nor can he perceive all the changes in people's hearts.

He simply saw more and farther than other great supernatural beings.

Perhaps only after becoming the "Immortal Venerable of All Ages" would he have the ability to see everything.

"However, while I may not be everything, others cannot fathom me."

"Why is that?" Yin Hang asked curiously.

"Since you know that the change in people's hearts lies in the space of the 'Alaya consciousness,' I have long since made my unconscious mind transcend that space."

Qin Zijun casually explained, "...That is to say, I have transcended the Alaya consciousness. No one can find my existence in the Alaya consciousness, which means that no one can see the variables of the human heart from me."

Yin Hang opened his mouth, then blurted out, "Isn't this what it means to be beyond the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements?"

Qin Zijun laughed and said, "What you said makes sense."

Yin Hang scratched his head: "Awesome, no wonder you're Brother Qin!"

"So, Brother Qin, you're saying that in today's modern society, where spiritual energy is reviving, nothing matters because there's a problem with the Alaya consciousness?"

This is a very simple line of reasoning.

The laws of physics remain unchanged, and humans live within nature.

If the external environment remains unchanged, the only problem lies in the internal factor of people's hearts.

Qin Zijun nodded and said, "At this moment, when spiritual energy is just beginning to emerge, it is somewhat similar to the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth, when they were about to be separated. The space of Alaya consciousness that I described does not yet exist."

"Since the human heart does not exist in the first place, how can it be calculated? Perhaps when this world is completely stable, the unconscious of mankind will begin to gather, and only then will the method of divination of heavenly secrets be able to take effect."

"That's why I said all we can do now is wait, wait for the mastermind to come out on his own, and then we'll deal with him."

Yin Hang felt that he had learned a lot from this trip to see Brother Qin.

"Brother Qin has taught me so much, how about... I treat you to some skewers?"

"I really like the place downstairs, why don't you go down and buy some? I'm too lazy to go out."

"Okay!"

Yin Hang ran out the door and bought skewers, beer, and cold dishes, and had a good meal with Qin Zijun.

After finishing the meal, Yin Hang helped him pack up his things and then said goodbye.

Hearing the door close, Qin Zijun gently tapped his fingers on the table.

"Ancient gods still rely on faith and incense offerings; they must be old fogies."

"Miss Jiang is going to have to watch the snow this time; she's probably going to suffer a bit."

It's not that these ancient gods were particularly powerful; their strength wasn't much different from that of cultivators.

However, the abilities used by these ancient gods are essentially from a different system, and it's easy to suffer losses if you haven't seen them before.

Nowadays, there are many reincarnated beings, so it's easy to understand the things in the cultivation world.

However, reincarnated ancient gods are rare, and their abilities remain unknown.

By using one's own unknown to calculate others' known, one can gain a significant advantage due to the gap in intelligence.

"To be honest, now that spiritual energy has just begun to recover, many cultivators' methods are unusable. These ancient gods are the real problem."

"If Miss Jiang could reach the Cave Profound Realm now, she could also resolve these troubles."

"This modern society is quite suitable for the way of life of those ancient gods."

Qin Zijun shook her head; it seemed she still had to go through with it.

If I go out again this time, my identity as the "Primordial Great Luo Heaven" will probably be exposed.

But it doesn't matter. He's never been one to hide himself. Qin Zijun just prefers to let things take their natural course.

No one has discovered his identity, and he will not reveal it voluntarily.

But if he discovers it, he will neither deny it nor try to cover it up.

Although the world is vast, he is the only one who comes close to being an 'immortal'.
