Zhang Ruochen raised his hand but did not knock it down after all. He shook his head and said: "Until hell is empty, I will never become a Buddha. You may have misunderstood what he meant."
"The so-called hell is not empty, it does not mean that everything in the hell world is destroyed, but that all the evil in the world is overcome."
On the last page of "The Secret Book of Time and Space", there are eight words written, "Unless hell is empty, I swear I will never become a Buddha."
Zhang Ruochen has read countless books, among which there are records about the eight characters of Saint Monk Xumi.
This was the great wish made by the holy monk Xumi after listening to the Sixth Patriarch’s sermon many years ago.
At that time, the hell realm was not yet called the hell realm. The ten hell clans had a lot of exchanges with various big worlds, and there was no such confrontation of life and death as now.
"What? You also want to have the same ambition as Monk Xumi? Don't force yourself to become a monk!" Luo Yi said nervously and worriedly.
Zhang Ruochen said: "I have selfish motives, not that selfless and great."
"It is good to be selfish, better than not to be selfish. People who are not selfish are too unreal and not like human beings." Luo Qi said.
Zhang Ruochen asked: "What is your vision?"
"I...I have thought about it. In fact, my heart is not that big. In the future, it will be enough to be the queen of the Tianluo Kingdom or the leader of the Rakshasa tribe." Luo Ji said quite seriously.
Zhang Ruochen really wanted to grab her, push her to the ground and beat her up.
If you are beautiful, aren't you afraid of getting beaten?
Luo Qi said: "What's your look? This princess really feels that with my talents, it is only a matter of time to become the queen of Tianluo Kingdom. If my father doesn't pass the throne to me, how can he pass it to my brother?"
After all, my imperial brother is still far behind me."
"Do you dare to say that in front of him?" Zhang Ruochen said.
"Why don't you dare? Even he thinks so."
Luo Yi snorted softly and said: "Do you know why I believe in destiny, but I don't want to join the Temple of Destiny and become a core disciple? Even, I don't even care about the position of the Goddess of Destiny?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "You have already said this before. Becoming the Goddess of Destiny will lead to a thousand years of lovelessness..."
"I'm all lying to you. It only takes a thousand years to break up with love. For a great sage, it is not that long. For a proud girl like this princess who will definitely become a god in the future, it only takes a blink of an eye."
Luo Yi said.
Zhang Ruochen was speechless and remained silent for a long time before he said again: "So, how many of what you said before are true and how many are false?"
"Why do you care so much about the truth or falsehood of what this princess says?"
Luo Yi's eyes flashed with a cunning brilliance, and he said jokingly: "Do you want to know whether the person you are destined to be is true or false? Don't speak yet... Seeing that you want to know so much, I will tell you anything I say.
Everything you say may be lies, but you, Zhang Ruochen, are indeed the one chosen by this princess, and this sentence is absolutely true."
"哏哏."
Zhang Ruochen has no favorable impression of the Rakshasa clan and has always been hostile to them.
The first time he stepped onto the merit battlefield, what he saw was the sight of Rakshasa people roasting and eating human flesh, which left a deep disgusting impression on him.
But for Luo Yi, he couldn't really hate him.
Maybe it's because she is so beautiful; maybe it's because she doesn't eat the flesh of humanoid creatures; maybe it's because the two of them once practiced both spiritual power; maybe it's because Luo Ji has never done anything to harm him.
It is precisely because Zhang Ruochen has some affection for Luo Ji that he is willing to tell her what he is thinking like a friend.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen sitting there like a dry stone, Luo Qi didn't want to pay attention to her, so he calmed down his arrogance and said: "Actually, the biggest reason is that even if I become the goddess of destiny for a thousand years, I won't be able to do it."
It will be of great help to me in becoming the Queen of Tianluo Kingdom in the future. In that case, why should I waste a thousand years helping the Temple of Destiny?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "Becoming the Temple of Destiny can bring more benefits to the Rakshasa clan and Tianluo Kingdom. Didn't your father tell you about the powerful relationship? Didn't he force you?"
"Well..."
Luo Yi's eyes rolled and he smiled and said, "I understand, princess. It turns out that this is where you are confused."
"What do you understand?" Zhang Ruochen looked at her calmly.
Luo Qidao said: "You are struggling in your heart, should you do what you want to do or what others force you to do? You want to be yourself, but you don't even know what you really want."
"When you killed the Barbarian Sword Great Sage, you felt very painful, right?"
"If you want to survive in hell, you have to do countless things that you don't want to do. Isn't it painful inside?"
"You don't like killing, but you go further and further on the road of killing. Aren't you afraid of breeding inner demons if you go against your own will like this?"
"Zhang Ruochen, do you feel that because of external reasons such as responsibility, emotion, survival, protection... etc., you have not been doing things according to your heart, and you have become such that you don't even recognize yourself?"
"You lack persistence in your heart, a persistence worth persisting in."
Luo Yi's eyes were very penetrating, and seemed to be able to see through Zhang Ruochen, forcing Zhang Ruochen into a corner with nowhere to retreat, and had to face his own heart.
Everyone’s path to cultivation must be constantly reflected on.
Correct yourself when you are wrong, see yourself clearly when you are confused, and guide yourself when you are in trouble.
Luo Ji said: "My father forced me to deal with the Goddess of Destiny, and my mother taught me countless truths and responsibilities. However, I still did not follow the path they arranged. Because I have what I want to do, and I always want to do it.
Know what you want. Being the goddess of destiny will only bind me for a thousand years."
"Some monks can stand on their own after reaching the semi-saint realm."
"Some monks who have reached the realm of great saints don't even know what they want in the future."
"Do you think my brother is okay? The divine prince of the Tianluo Kingdom has been a top talent for thousands of years. However, in my opinion, he is a loser. A person who is dragged down by his status as the divine prince.
loser!"
"He could have broken through to the Thousand Questions Realm seventy years ago and then continued to advance. However, for the sake of the Hunting War and the Tianluo Kingdom, he has suppressed his cultivation until now."
"Is it wrong for him to do this? It's not wrong."
"It is precisely because of people like him who continue to contribute that the Tianluo Kingdom can always remain at the top of the seven divine kingdoms. But it cannot be changed. The fact that he is a loser will be bound by his identity throughout his life, and he will not be able to do anything in the future.
There will be more things binding him."
"The same goes for you Zhang Ruochen. You didn't want to participate in the Battle of Hunting Sky, but you still came! You didn't have to come."
Zhang Ruochen said: "Can I choose?"
"Of course you can choose, but you didn't choose. If you, Zhang Ruochen, are a ruthless and hard-hearted person, who can control your will? Unfortunately, you are not that kind of person. That's why you are so so
The source of pain and confusion. The coldness on your face is all fake. The more unscrupulous and cruel you appear, the more struggle and pain you feel in your heart."
Luo Qi sighed: "Just like this princess, I fell in love with you, a man who doesn't love me, and I became a lot more indecisive. Do you think we are a bad fate?"
There was silence for a long time.
"I see!"
Zhang Ruochen's steely face suddenly relaxed and opened up.
Luo Ji said: "As long as you understand, this princess has been dragged down by you."
Just now, Zhang Ruochen had been thinking and had a direction in his mind.
There is direction, but no answer.
Because the answer was too difficult, he still hadn't found it clearly yet. In other words, he still didn't dare to decide on the answer easily.
Prajna said that he has always walked the path that others want him to take.
yes!
Zhang Ruochen was indeed confused before. From the moment he became the ninth prince of Yunwu County, his heart was confused. At that time, hatred was all he had.
But hatred is not a person's future.
The future that Zhang Ruochen wants is not necessarily to become a god, or to be the master of heaven and earth. He wants a peaceful and tranquil world, without killing, cannibalism, and danger... Friends and relatives around him can stay away from everything
If you are not good at it, live a happy life, and your descendants can continue it from generation to generation.
However, these are precisely the most difficult ones.
His extraordinary birth destined the life he imagined to be a luxury.
Wanting peace and tranquility is countless times more difficult than cultivating to become a god.
perhaps……
This chaotic and cruel universe needs a new order!
That’s right!
It's a whole new order.
In order to establish that new order, keep working hard to practice and become stronger.
This is a direction, and it is also something Zhang Ruochen has always longed for deep in his heart.
After thinking about this, the pain and entanglement in Zhang Ruochen's heart were reduced by more than half, and he felt relaxed and happy about getting out of the quagmire. Although this road is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
It is very possible that he will never reach the end despite working hard all his life.
However, he is willing to keep going until the day when a new order is ushered in.
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and was immersed in the grand vision he had sketched. In his mind, he was perfecting the world map under the new order bit by bit, trying to present the answer.
"Wow——"
Gradually, Zhang Ruochen's body glowed with brighter and brighter white light, like a holy lamp lighting up.
Luo Qi let out a sigh and carefully observed Zhang Ruochen, and found that he was extremely sacred at this moment, with a flawless solemnity and even more sacred and inviolable majesty.
This scene, just like when Zhang Ruochen held the Emperor's Ruler and fought alone into the thousands of hell-bound armies, left a deep mark on her heart.
"Bang bang."
The twelve shackles in my heart were automatically broken in an instant.
At this point, Zhang Ruochen has broken fifty shackles.
After a while, Zhang Ruochen opened his eyes, raised his hand, and looked at it.
He stood up again and looked at his body.
Immediately, a sunny and friendly smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess. Your words today will benefit Ruochen for the rest of his life."
Luo Ji didn't feel that she had helped Zhang Ruochen in any way, but she was used to seeing Zhang Ruochen's cold demeanor, and suddenly he was so gentle and humble, which made her feel as if she had eaten honey. She was so happy that she was about to say something modest.
Zhang Ruochen changed the topic and said: "However, there are many refutations in what you said, so I cannot agree with you. For example, I think the evaluation of the God Prince is inappropriate. If not, between him and your father
Without the emperor’s dedication and hard work, you will not have the capital to be willful. For another example, if you want to be the queen, but you are unwilling to pay and sacrifice for the Tianluo Kingdom, why should the people of the Tianluo Kingdom obey you?"
"Get out!" Luo Qi said.
Zhang Ruochen stopped talking, smiled, and walked out of the Seven Corners Palace.
The moment he stepped out of the palace, the smile on his face disappeared and became serious again.
Looking up into the pitch-black void, Zhang Ruochen thought: "Only by becoming stronger can the vision become reality. And the reality I am facing now is the cruelest."
In Zhang Ruochen's mind, the figure of Prajna could not help but appear.
She was always like that. She always said something unpleasant and never wanted to communicate well. However, she pointed out the biggest shortcoming of Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen's sudden enlightenment today was partly due to her enlightenment.
Otherwise, the twelve heart locks will never be broken.
"I will tell you my answer sooner or later. What is your answer? What is your vision? Why did you come to the hell world?" Zhang Ruochen said to himself.
…
In just three days, the monks of the upper three tribes had already broken through the heavy defenses arranged by Tiannu, crossed millions of miles, and reached the sky above the seventh dark star.
In the past three days, almost all the Tiannus killed were soldiers and generals in the realm of the Holy King.
However, because of the formations, runes, and holy magic traps arranged by Tian Nu in advance, the upper three tribes suffered considerable losses.
Two great saints fell and hundreds of great saints were injured.
There are more than 700 Great Sage Heavenly Slaves gathered on the seventh Dark Star, occupying one-third of the entire Hunting Sky battlefield. They are a huge force that cannot be underestimated.
If the Shangsan clan adopts a forceful attack, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.
…
In the seven-cornered palace.
Zhang Ruochen and Luo Yi received the news immediately.
Luo Ji crushed the messenger light talisman into pieces and said with a smile: "This is interesting! More than 700 great saints gathered together, which should have shocked the monks of the upper three tribes."
"Without the death altar, the battle between the three clans will be difficult to fight," Zhang Ruochen said.
Luo Qi said: "The initial expectation of the Shangsan Tribe was that the Heavenly Slaves were scattered in this millions of miles of dark space and could be defeated one by one. Now, with all the Great Sage Heavenly Slaves gathered together, they are unable to
Take action."
On the Dark Star, mental strength and cultivation will be severely suppressed, which is actually an advantage for Tiannu.
One side has a certain death mentality and wants to gain some backing.
One party cherishes his life very much, but only has a hunting mentality.
Once a war begins, even if the upper three tribes have an absolute advantage, if they want to wipe out the Tiannu on the seventh dark star, there will definitely be countless casualties. Therefore, the upper three tribes do not dare to fight.
Luo Qi said: "If the altar of death is there, the upper three tribes can attack by force. Zhang Ruochen, the monks of the upper three tribes will all hate you now!"
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and chuckled.
Without the altar of death, the play between Emperor Chi and Prajna would not be sung.
What decision will Emperor Chi and Prajna make next?
Zhang Ruochen asked: "The only message you received was the message from the Great Saint Heavenly Slaves on the Dark Star? What about the Heavenly Slaves in the Saint King Realm, Saint Realm, and Semi-Saint Realm?"
"Monks below the Great Sage who board the Seventh Dark Star will be suppressed like ordinary people. Once a war starts, they will be cannon fodder." Luo Yi said.
Zhang Ruochen said: "However, the number of heavenly slaves under the Great Saint Realm is huge, numbered in the millions, numbered in the tens of millions. One Holy King may be cannon fodder, but what about ten thousand Holy Kings united together? One Saint
, maybe it won’t be able to exert much power, what about the 100,000 people?”
Luo Ji nodded and said: "You are right, the Tiannu under the Great Sage is the biggest variable in this battle. However, so far, the Rakshasa tribe has not yet found out where they are hiding.
Where?"
"Emperor Chi is not a mortal, but a great sage who will live forever. Since he can hide millions of heavenly slaves, he must have his own intentions, and we have to be on guard." Zhang Ruochen said.
Tiannu can die at will, but the great sages of the Rakshasa clan and the Immortal Vampire clan are each very precious and are the foundation of the future of the clan.
Luo Ji and Zhang Ruochen naturally have to deal with it carefully.
Luo Qi said thoughtfully: "Then let the three upper tribes help us first to draw out Emperor Chi's trump card, and then we will take action. Zhang Ruochen, how about you accompany this princess to find someone first?"
"Who are you looking for?"
"The most powerful necromancer on the battlefield of Huntian, the radiant light of the dead."
"What are you looking for him for?"
"Ask him to borrow an army."
