The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

Lin Du said she needed to pack her things, then turned back to her cave and seriously considered a question. Her soul essence had now been almost completely integrated, so she could let Jin Xuan's matter rest.

But what about her...medicine?

It's impossible that she foresaw in her past life that she would be able to fuse so quickly, and then stopped giving her the medicine.

Lin Du thought about it carefully: where exactly is the storage space that his soul is connected to?

Although the Heavenly Dao restored a large amount of life force to her after she advanced to the final stage, her heart meridian is still unable to withstand too much power, so there is still no guarantee for her future actions.

Lin Du lowered his eyes, one hand gripping the ice bed.

Good news, she left herself a lot of good things before she was reincarnated in her previous life.

The bad news is, she can't find where she put it now.

Lin Du pondered for a while and then realized that even though she had merged with most of the spirits, a large part of her past life's memories were still untouchable, as if they were blocked, and she would only remember them when she got infinitely close to the truth.

Why is that?

She severed her soul and entered another modern, degenerate society without any memories, breaking through the Heavenly Dao. There must be a reason for this, and this reason must involve the rules of the Heavenly Dao.

Lin Du groped the ice bed under his palm, still needing to see Wei Zhi and ask him some questions.

That kid seems to know quite a lot, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to remind Wenfu, and then come over during the Central Plains Grand Competition to remind them that there was a problem with Fusifang.

I wonder where that street hustler is now.

Lin Du got up and headed to the forbidden peach grove. Before setting off, he had to bring bodyguards with him.

Sticking to your senior master all day long isn't a good thing.

Hou Cang knew Lin Du had arrived when he saw the peach trees in the peach grove automatically part to make way for him. He crossed his arms from a distance and asked, "What are you doing here? Didn't you advance in your cultivation level? Shouldn't you be consolidating your strength?"

"I need to go out and send all the artificial demons into reincarnation. I'll also take a trip to the territory of the demon cultivators. Do you want to go?"

Hou Cang thought for a moment, "Just eliminating man-made demons?"

Lin Du nodded. "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Hou Cang's eyelids twitched at the sarcastic remark. "Alright, let's go."

But once Hou Cang boarded Lin Du's pirate ship, he was dumbfounded. "This direction looks like it's heading out to sea!"

"Aren't sea creatures demon cultivators?" Lin Du asked rhetorically.

Hou Cang remained silent. The logic was sound, but something just didn't feel right.

What respectable person would go to the sea to look for artificial demons? When it comes to demons, the first thing that comes to mind is the area beyond the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Unfortunately, a group of children on the ship were playing with the "Selection of Immortals" picture, making a lot of noise that gave him a headache.

Hou Cang simply hugged his sword, closed his eyes to rest, and pretended that he couldn't hear.

Amidst the commotion, Lin Du quietly played chess, seizing every opportunity for infighting. Xia Tianwu and Mo Lin sat beside him, watching the four children make a ruckus.

The sea was extremely rough, and the spinning top tilted to the ground, scattering the chess pieces on the board.

"Ouch!! This spinning top! I could have taken this route! But now I can only turn around and end up on this island!" Yue Han exclaimed angrily.

"It's okay, if you jump off this path, you can turn right ahead in a bit!" Ni Jinxuan quickly reassured her.

Lin Du, who was about to straighten the chess piece, paused, holding the piece tightly.

Wei Zhi once told her that time is just a line...

She gave up on reincarnation in this world, wanting to set this timeline back on track, but no one in this world could reverse time.

Therefore, her choice is to jump out of this line, find another point, and then jump back to the front.

She jumped back, so she knew. But what about Wei Zhi?

Wei Zhi was once ranked third on the Chongxiao List. Having snatched so many books, he must have other ways.

Mo Lin suddenly stood up. "It seems we're almost there."

"I'm done playing, I'm done playing, let's go!" Yuan Ye was the first to push away the games in front of him.

Ni Jinxuan slammed her hand on the table and stood up, "You cheated! I was about to win!"

"With your luck, you're always the first to succeed. The only difference is who loses the most among the three of us." Yuan Ye deftly put away the game. "There's absolutely no gaming experience! Are you trying to kill us humans and birds?!"

Yue Han said, "No, it's because Yuan Ye is at the bottom."

Yuan Ye: ...I'm fed up with playing with two kids who are blessed by the god of luck, he really is.

The group walked onto the deck, laughing and joking. Yan Qing noticed something and said, "Hey, don't you guys think there seem to be more small fish here?"

"That's true." Lin Du observed for a while. "It must be because we released the Sea Sly Head that day, which absorbed nearly ten thousand years' worth of spiritual energy essence from the sea, and then there were four consecutive spiritual rains, which increased the concentration of spiritual energy."

Once the group reached the island, Yue Han suddenly remembered, "Why did we come here?"

Hou Cang: ...So it also involves kidnapping a young demon lord?

This little peacock is really not afraid of being tricked by Lin Du.

"I'm bringing you to see the sea." Lin Du said, adding in his mind, "See that stone tablet? You were on it before, and so was I. We, master and disciple, are one at the beginning and one at the end, a complete story."

"Have you been here before?"

The Chongxiao Ranking has now become an ordinary tall stone tablet. Without the enhancement of the power of the rules, it has been worn with fine marks by the sea breeze. The eyesight of the Qianyuan Realm cultivators is excellent, and they can see the changes in just a few days.

"Why do you insist on making me look at something that has lost its value?" Yan Ye's tone was cold, with a hint of sarcasm.

Lin Du thought for a moment, "Because it existed, it has value."

Even if it was wrong or a conspiracy, since it existed, it should be remembered.

"History is not only filled with successes, but also with many disasters and lessons."

"Isn't value something we assign to it? You can't assume something has lost its value just because it's gone. The same goes for people."

"What I mean is, even if I die, my existence will bring you some value."

Within his consciousness, Yan Ye's ball of light brewed for a moment, gathering its strength, ready to give Lin Du a real flick on the head.

Lin Du calmly changed the subject, "Of course, I won't die in this life, so I can only bring you something else."

In his previous life, Yan Ye deciphered the Dao of Fate and ascended to immortality because fate followed the trajectory he knew.

Her death made him completely accept his fate.

But in this life, everything is changing, and the ending he sees will likely be different.

Lin Du thought that her existence might be the last hurdle for Yan Ye before his ascension.

"I just wanted to show you a different world from our perspective before you ascended to heaven. Fate seems predetermined and unchangeable, like a fixed line."

"But I think we can always find a way to briefly step out of that line, to explore the loopholes in existence, and to see things that are not part of our destiny. The trajectory of fate cannot be changed, but people can change."

Lin Du stood under the stone tablet and turned to look at his fellow disciples who were searching for the sly old man from before.

The loud noises were carried far away by the strong winds at sea.

If her return only forcibly changes their fate of death, rather than the people themselves, then her toil will be meaningless and endless.

Therefore, her return will occur at the very beginning, rather than at the time when the events took place.

In the end, they did not lose their original intentions, and their Daoist hearts became indestructible.

A person with an unsteady mind cannot cross the long sea of ​​suffering in spiritual practice.

Even someone with Jinxuan's luck would still face such hardships, wouldn't she?

Thinking about this, Lin Du couldn't help but sigh, "Education really has to start from a young age!"

"People can become invincible, unstoppable, unyielding to storms and unyielding to thorns. When every choice we make leads us toward the true path, is our destiny truly unchangeable?"

Effort may not change your destiny, but effective effort will certainly bear fruit.

The waves surged and splashed onto the island's rocks, creating white shards that quickly receded, leaving the rocks damp.

It wasn't a bright, sunny day; the sky was tinged with a dark color by the sea. But at sunset, it turned crimson, breaking through the accumulated gloom and adding a vibrant ending to this dreary day.

Yan Ye's vision is connected to Lin Du's, so he can naturally see the sunset in front of him.

Many people have said that if his eyes had been cured, he would have achieved even greater things and been even more perfect. It is a pity that he has an eye disease.

Regardless, blindness is a defect.

He truly didn't care, nor did he care about that little bit of pity and sympathy, nor did he care what others saw.

But the magnificent scene before him was something he had never seen or experienced before.

He remained silent for a long time. "Lin Du, did you find some kind of inhuman loophole?"

This long and rambling post must mean you've done something you're guilty of, right?

He said, "Why does this kid suddenly have so much free time?"

"Oh, the signal is bad at sea, I need to go ashore, I'm not going to talk anymore. Hey Master, what did you say, Master? I'm hanging up now."

Lin Du snapped off the visual connection and told people to get down on the ground.
