Half a month passed, and Lin Chen entered samadhi like an old monk, immersed in a state of enlightenment, trying desperately to sense the breath of the origin of chaos, but there was no progress at all.
The aura of the origin of chaos is still like a dead thing, with no intention of leading him.
"That's enough, stop. If you continue to retreat like this, even if it takes a million years, you won't be able to make any progress."
Shang Yan's voice sounded in Lin Chen's mind.
Lin Chen opened his eyes and sighed helplessly.
What Shang Yan said was that he actually figured it out after a few days of retreat. The reason why he continued to sense it was just because he was unwilling to do so.
His figure disappeared, leaving the Divine Prison Tower in place.
The fifth floor of the Divine Prison Tower.
Shang Yan looked at Lin Chen who appeared in front of him with a depressed look on his face, and said with relief:
"Don't you like to learn from my breakthrough methods? Why don't I tell you how I broke through to the realm of domination back then?"
"Senior, please tell me!" Lin Chen immediately became interested.
He knew that if he wanted to communicate with the origin of chaos and break through to the realm of dominance, the only requirement was his state of mind.
If he continues to travel on the origin continent and see all kinds of things in the world as he did before, it will indeed have an effect on improving his state of mind. Lin Chen is confident that he can break through to dominance by relying on this method.
But I don't know how long it will take.
If possible, he hopes to have a more efficient way!
Shang Yan smiled and said: "When I was at your level, I was trapped for tens of thousands of years, and then I took a step further and became the master. At the beginning, I traveled on the origin continent, and after seeing all kinds of things in the world, I looked down upon everything.
.At that time, continuing to travel on the origin continent had not improved my state of mind much. And at that time, I was still unable to communicate
The origin of chaos, become the master!"
Lin Chen thought to himself, this is probably like entering the world of mortals in Buddhism and seeing through the world of mortals. Once you see through the world of mortals, continuing to walk in the world of mortals will only have a very limited improvement in your state of mind.
But this does not mean that there is no room for further progress in the state of mind.
Otherwise, why would a monk who has seen through the world of mortals continue to practice?
"Then how did the senior further improve his state of mind?" Lin Chen asked curiously.
Shang Yan said: "At that time, I was disheartened and found that I was not as talented as I thought. After a while, I calmed down and stopped thinking about breaking through to dominance all day long!"
"If you plant flowers intentionally, they will not bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will become shades! Senior, you don't want to think about breaking through to the master thing, but instead you will break through naturally?" Lin Chen suddenly said.
Shang Yan looked at Lin Chen as if he were a fool.
Lin Chen smiled dryly and said: "Then how did you break through?"
Shang Yan said: "Then I remembered that hundreds of thousands of years have passed since I came to the origin continent, but I have never returned to my ancestral planet to take a look. So I decided to go back and take a look."
Lin Chen said in surprise: "Ancestral Star?"
"Like you, I am not a native of the original continent. I come from a remote planet."
Shang Yan's voice was filled with emotion, as if he was caught up in the memories of the past, "After returning to my ancestral planet, I found that everything was completely different from when I left.
The various forces I was once familiar with have disappeared one by one in the long river of history. The people I knew have turned into dust. Including the mentor who was once kind to me, they are long gone.
It was then that I realized that I had not seen through everything in the world. What I had seen through were other people’s stories, not my own.
When I stood in front of the grave of the old man who once led me on the path of spiritual practice, my heart was full of regret. Why didn't I come back earlier?
I could obviously let him and his friends live a longer life easily! When I left, I told them that I would come back in the future.
However, after arriving at the origin continent, he only had his own affairs in his mind, running forward desperately, leaving everyone behind.
Including those elders who were kind to me and those friends who supported each other with me! When I finally remembered to look back, they had all turned into a handful of loess.
That feeling is difficult to describe. Some of them have tombstones, and some have no bones left and no one knows where they are buried. Compared with them, I already have an infinite lifespan, but I am still not satisfied! I still want to become more
powerful.
At that moment, I just felt that I was extremely greedy, and it no longer mattered whether I became the master or not. The funny thing is, when I didn't care anymore, I naturally went one step further and became the master!"
People's emotions are not the same.
Lin Chen could hear Shang Yan's helplessness and sadness, and also understood that Shang Yan must have been feeling very uncomfortable at that time, but he had no way of feeling what kind of depression Shang Yan was feeling at that time.
Even if he could feel it, it would be Shang Yan's simple story, not his.
Shang Yan's expression returned to calm and he said to Lin Chen:
"Perhaps you can try it again, like me, and retrace your steps! Look back and see the scenery you have experienced along the way. Perhaps you will gain something unexpected."
Lin Chen smiled bitterly and said: "I would like to learn from it, but the problem is that I brought my entire ancestral planet to the Star Sea near the origin continent. The people on my ancestral planet now live in Earth City..."
Naturally, Shang Yan knew this a long time ago, and said: "I want you to learn from it, but I don't want you to imitate it 100%. Retracing the same path does not necessarily mean returning to the ancestral star.
Before you came to the Origin Continent, apart from the Ancestral Star, what other places and people had a huge influence on you? You can choose to go back and take a look at those places!"
Before coming to the origin continent?
There is no need to think about it, it is naturally the Tianque Star and Longyuan Star in the Tianque Star Region!
Hearing what Shang Yan said, Lin Chen felt as if he had found a way, and his eyes immediately brightened up. "I told you to go back and take a look, but I didn't tell you to go back and take a look now. You have to wait at least decades!
Not all those foreign masters have left the Xuanhuang Universe. If you leave the original continent now, you may still be in danger." Shang Yan reminded.
road.
At this time, Lin Chen also remembered the previous instructions from Lord Wuyou, nodded and said:
"In that case, let's wait for a few decades before we talk about it. Maybe I won't have to wait for me to return to the Tianque Star Territory before I can break through and become the master."
A conversation with Shang Yan also made Lin Chen no longer obsessed with making a breakthrough quickly.
He smiled and said: "I'd better go and take a look first to see what kind of chaos treasures there are in the treasure house of merit! Maybe there is actually one that is very suitable for me?" He said this, but in his heart he thought
I was thinking, since I can take whatever treasures I want from the "Treasury of Merit", then another thing that I have been thinking about for a long time should be put on the agenda!
