Chapter 172 Heaven and Earth in Silence, Eternal Return to Truth

After the heart is calm and at peace, and after achieving true freedom, Chang'an, along with the entire world, entered the ultimate realm of serene tranquility and eternal return to truth.

The stillness of heaven and earth does not mean annihilation or death, but rather that all things return to their true nature, movement and stillness unite, all noise dissipates, leaving only the purest existence itself; eternal return to truth does not mean transcendence or departure, but rather that all illusions fade away, the essence is revealed, and home, family, all spirits, heaven and earth all return to the most original, most perfect, and most eternal state of true reality.

At this moment, time seems to stand still, yet flows eternally; space seems to solidify, yet extends infinitely. Between heaven and earth, there is no sound, no light, no breath, no change, yet it contains all sound, all light, all breath, all change. Chang'an is no longer a home, but the true nature of heaven and earth; family members are no longer independent beings, but embodiments of warmth; all spirits are no longer tangible existences, but symbols of symbiosis; spiritual energy is no longer a fleeting illusion, but a tangible embodiment of tranquility.

Qin Lintian's figure gradually merged with heaven and earth, yet he stood clearly in the center of his home. He was no longer a guardian, no longer a Daoist, no longer a mortal, but the original intention itself, the act of protection itself, the warmth itself, and eternity itself. He had no coming and no going, no birth and no death, no beginning and no end, becoming one with the eternal Chang'an, one with the hearts of his family, and one with the origin of heaven and earth, truly reaching the ultimate state of eternal return to truth.

His consciousness pervades every corner of heaven and earth, yet focuses solely on his homeland, a pure and tranquil place; his existence spans every era of eternity, yet remains only in this present moment. He needs no thought, no action, no words, for his very existence is peace, is protection, is fulfillment, is eternity.

Qin Huairu, Jia Zhangshi, He Yuzhu, Jia Dongxu, Yan Bugui, Liu Haizhong, and the eternally innocent children—their forms gradually merged with the spirit, warmth, and tranquility of their home. They were no longer mortal beings, no longer immortal beings, but rather the embodiment of reunion, warmth, joy, and companionship. They were inseparable, neither born nor dying, neither increasing nor decreasing, forever together, forever united and harmonious.

All spirits and all living beings, including the spirits of nature, return to the true nature of reality. The white jade rhinoceros, the spirit deer, the spirit bird, the spirit rabbit, and the spirit mouse transform into a symbiotic energy; the spirits of morning dew, the spirit of the stream, the spirit of the gentle breeze, the spirit of the blessed tree, and the spirit of the ever-burning lamp transform into a tranquil atmosphere. They no longer have physical forms or distinctions of intelligence; they simply exist purely in their home, accompanying their families, existing alongside heaven and earth, eternally and without ceasing.

The morning dew-covered garden, the flowing stream, the tranquil pavilion, the sea of ​​eternal lamps, the primordial spiritual realm, the myriad spiritual springs, the ancient spiritual trees—all the scenery of this homeland has returned to its true nature. They are no longer tangible objects, but beauty itself, elegance itself, tranquility itself, and warmth itself. They are eternally unchanging, eternally indestructible, eternally pristine, forever maintaining their most perfect form.

All things in heaven and earth, the mortals of the three continents, the rivers, seas, mountains, forests, and the starry sky, all return to silence. Ordinary people are no longer subject to the cycle of birth and death, but enjoy eternal peace; mountains and trees no longer experience the cycle of flourishing and withering, but remain forever vibrant and evergreen; the sun, moon, and stars no longer rise and fall, but shine eternally with light and harmony. The entire universe has no beginning, no end, no change, no migration; it simply exists quietly, purely, and eternally.

The stillness of heaven and earth is not emptiness, but a perfect stillness;

Eternal return to one's true self is not about disappearing, but about the eternity of one's true nature.

In this ultimate silence and return to simplicity, there is no concept of time, no boundary of space, no distinction between you and me, and no separation between self and other.

I am my home, and my home is me;

I am family, and family is me;

I am heaven and earth, and heaven and earth are me.

All opposition disappears, all distinctions vanish, all attachments dissipate, and all illusions fade away.

Only eternity, peace, warmth, reunion, beauty, and truth remain.

This is a realm higher than any other great path.

This is a more perfect ending than any other fulfillment.

This is something that lasts longer than any eternity.

No one is aware of this change, and no one needs to be aware of it.

Because they have been in this state from the very beginning;

They had it all from beginning to end.

No surprises, no emotions, no excitement, no disappointment.

It is simply how it is, it is simply how it should be, it is simply how it will always be.

Chang'an, a city that has stood for eternity, is no longer just a home, but the very essence of heaven and earth.

The guardian is no longer a figure, but an eternal Dao heart;

Family members are no longer just a group of living beings, but the embodiment of warmth and affection;

All spirits are no longer a group of strange beasts, but a symbol of symbiosis;

Time is no longer a period of time, but a constant continuation.

Heaven and earth are both silent, yet they are constantly illuminated, revealing the peace and tranquility of all things.

Eternal return to truth, truth forever preserved, preserving the warmth of home.

In this eternal silence and true reality,

All stories return to their original intentions;

All the years have passed, and peace has returned.

All good things belong to eternity;

All living beings are brought to perfection.

No beginning, no end.

No past, no future.

Only the present moment, only eternity.

Only eternal Chang'an remains, only heaven and earth return to their true nature.

Heaven and earth are silent, forever returning to the true self.

One day of solitude brings one day of peace; eternal return to truth brings eternal joy.

With true self-awareness and family by your side, life is carefree and the world is vast.
