"Though you can gain eternal life by joining the sea of light, you can never leave the sea of light for the rest of your life. If you leave the sea of light, you will immediately vanish into ashes. I don't like this kind of immortality."
Lin Feng looked at the eyeless fish in front of him, listened to his story, and sighed softly.
Life or freedom, which is more important? This is another choice that has been talked about for a long time, but when people really face this problem, how many people can make a decisive choice and never regret it?
Lin Feng asked: "Do you have a name?"
The eyeless fish was silent for a moment, then nodded its big head downward: "It calls me Pupilless."
This "it" clearly refers to the golden ball of light in the sea of light below.
Lin Feng and Shi Zhongtian couldn't help but suddenly realized that although the golden ball of light was still an immature embryo of the magic weapon of creation, it had already given birth to its own spiritual consciousness. However, this spiritual consciousness was vague and grand, and did not appear often. It was like a world in one place.
self-awareness.
Although it is not yet mature, it already contains the breath of creation and can trigger the thunder tribulation of the void. It is its existence that makes the black fish named Wutong in front of him survive the thunder tribulation and form a demon baby.
Only then did Wu Tong continue to practice and finally achieve the goal of becoming an immortal demon soul.
The spiritual consciousness of such a creation magic weapon will not appear easily. Just like if Lin Feng and Shi Chongtian caught a small number of black fish at this moment, or moved in the Xuantian Realm and went deep into this pool, the golden light ball would not pay attention to it.
But if Lin Feng and others completely cut off the process of many black fish entering the sea of light, interfere with and interrupt the self-maturation of the golden ball of light, or completely destroy the thousands of worlds in the Xuantian world, then the golden ball of light will definitely react.
Only for such a big event will the golden ball of light react.
Wu Tong is special. He is the first golden-eyed black fish to doubt his own instinct and destiny, reject and finally resist.
He spontaneously broke away from the track of destiny and left the golden ball of light and the special spiritual energy flow balance and ecological system formed over the long years in order to nurture the golden ball of light.
This behavior attracted the attention of the golden ball of light, but the golden ball of light did not feel angry because of this child who disobeyed him. On the contrary, it helped Wutong when he wanted to go his own way.
Maybe it was just out of curiosity, maybe it was tolerance, but for it, it was a simple matter, but it helped Wutong a lot.
In the Yunlin Realm, more than a dozen Yunlin Trees contain a huge amount of essence, and their foundations are as strong as those of the powerful Yuanshen. However, because there is no Void Thunder Tribulation in the Yunlin Realm, these dozens of Yunlin Trees have grown countless
Years passed, but still could not form a demon baby.
With his pupilless and lusterless eyes, he made a "looking" motion and looked at the sea of light below. At this moment, he had become an immortal demon soul. Although he had no eyes, his spiritual consciousness could naturally determine the direction.
"Looking" at the golden ball of light, Wu Tong's emotions were a little complicated.
After achieving the immortal demon soul, he could reshape his eyes at any time if he wanted to, but he still didn't do it after all.
Lin Feng asked: "Are there any others like you among your kind?"
"Yes, in my memory, after such a long time has passed, every once in a while, there will always be some people of the same kind who will develop higher intelligence like me." Wu Tong replied: "Most of them will still be in adulthood.
Dive down to the sea of gwang, there are only a few like me."
Speaking of this, Wutong's mood became a little sad: "But in the end, these companions all died, their life span came to an end, and they eventually died and disappeared."
"I taught them everything I knew, but until now, it's still just me."
Lin Feng and Shi Zhongtian looked as usual. Isn't it the same in the human world?
Although this is a world where cultivators live, there are very few people who can achieve success in cultivation, even if they are only cultivators in the Qi training stage, compared to the population base of the entire world.
The vast majority of people in the world are unable to practice Qi. They live a dull and busy life. After a few decades, they die and turn into a cup of loess.
The same is true for Qi-training monks and foundation-building monks, whose life span is only a hundred years.
Golden elixir monks live for thousands of years, which is undoubtedly immortal compared to ordinary people, but when viewed in the grand timeline of the entire world, it is just a small fragment.
The Yuanying monk has a life span of 3,600 years, and in the long river of time, he cannot make a few waves.
Those golden-eyed blackfish who choose to join the sea of light have transformed their life forms and become part of the sea of light. As long as they leave the sea of light, they will disappear into ashes. However, if they do not leave the sea of light, they can actually move freely within the scope of the sea of light.
.
Retaining self-awareness and retaining previous memories is actually no different from living. Under the protection of the golden ball of light, one can live forever.
If the golden ball of light becomes a treasure of creation and can truly withstand the destruction of heaven and earth, then under its protection, these golden carps can even live to the next era, which is really close to eternal life.
You don’t need to practice hard, go through tribulations, or improve your realm, you just need to stay quietly in the sea of light.
Compared to them, Wutong seems stupid, giving up such a relaxed and happy eternal life just to maintain the most complete self without any restraint.
"Without the protection of Guanghai, there are many dangers, many restrictions, and it seems more restrictive. How can we call it freedom?" Wutong murmured: "But I feel that this is my own choice, not the innateness of my tribe.
destiny, this is the freedom I yearn for.”
"Some of my peers like me finally chose to give up after trying hard."
"But without eyes, and their own strength is not strong enough, they cannot blend into the sea of light. As soon as they get close, they will be burned by the sea of light, or even vaporize and disappear."
"So some of my companions began to curse me, and while cursing, they gradually grew old and eventually died."
Wutong was a little confused: "Facing these companions, I have no choice but to swallow them into my belly before they are dead and use my own power to nourish them. This can delay their aging. But as time goes by,
Everyone is gradually dying of old age."
"I used to tell everyone that our lives can have another way, but now I don't dare to go because I can't guarantee that they can all be like me. In this case, it might be a good idea to join the sea of light and gain immortality.
choose?"
Lin Feng opened his palm, and in his palm was a small world made of purple energy. In the small world, Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao, Yang Qing and Tun Tun were all silent.
During the dive, under the control of Lin Feng's spiritual consciousness, they could see everything happening outside and communicate with Wu Tong's spiritual consciousness, which was also transformed by Lin Feng to everyone, so that they could all understand the content.
Follow the destiny of the race, give up the possibility of one's own growth, and live forever in a limited free environment?
Or should you break free from the shackles of fate, fight on your own in the wind and waves, and fight for that one-in-a-million chance to gain powerful strength, rely on your own strength to gain immortality, and defeat death?
In a sense, Wutong is fighting against his own instinct, which is the most basic and strongest instinct of almost all sentient life.
The instinct to survive.
Zhu Yi and others were all lost in thought, because the existence of the golden ball of light, the fate of the golden-eyed black fish group, and the struggle against Wutong and other minorities were different from the human race's practice of Taoism.
If human beings do not practice, their lifespan is limited, and they will undoubtedly die when the time comes. Practice hard and fight for their lives against the sky. This is actually a manifestation of the survival instinct.
As for the Golden-Eyed Blackfish clan, they can obtain immortality with certain conditions without having to train hard. Wu Tong escapes from this fate, but instead sends himself to a cliff full of thorns, where he may fall to pieces at any time.
The great terror between life and death is never a joke.
"The reason I present these things to you is not to ask you to overcome the survival instinct like Wutong and pursue the freedom in your own mind." Lin Feng's voice rang in everyone's ears: "But I want you to be able to do more
Appreciate the mystery of this, clearly discern your original mind, and strengthen your Taoist mind."
"Life, freedom, and the principles of heaven and earth are all of the same mind. They may be opposites, but they may also be unified. The subtleties are what we ascetics need to grasp."
Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao and Yang Qing all took a deep breath and saluted Lin Feng: "Disciple has been taught."
Although Xiao Yan and others were not present, Lin Feng would teach them this lesson in the future.
"Wutong, Lin Feng, the master of Xuanmen, is not from this world, but from the vast land of China. My Xuanmen Tianzong is the first person to set foot in this world.
In the future, I and my disciples will also occupy this world to practice."
Lin Feng looked at the eyeless black giant fish in front of him: "I will not interfere with the survival of you and your kind, but in the future, I will collect it."
As he spoke, Lin Feng pointed to the golden ball below, and then said: "Collecting this object will not affect the natural reproduction of your tribe, life and death, which is the normal state of the world."
"What are your plans next?"
Wu Tong conveyed his thoughts: "I won't interfere with what you want to do. It doesn't belong to me, and this world doesn't belong to me either."
"Plan? I don't have any plan. I don't know where I should go. The freedom I'm looking for is not physical freedom, so I've been staying in the waterhole all these years."
Wutong said: "I may walk around and see the world outside the pool."
Lin Feng and Shi Chongtian couldn't help but feel speechless after hearing Wu Tong's rather childish remarks.
Although his mind is firm and pure, he is quite naive. This is related to his growth experience. There are only him and other golden-eyed blackfish in the pool. As he continues to grow, except for the big guy below, nothing can threaten him.
There was no one who even expressed hostility towards him.
An experience like Wu Tong's can create an immortal demon soul, and the realm of heaven and earth becoming one, is really unusual. It is similar to the creation of a golden ball of light in the Xuantian Realm. It is almost impossible to copy. It is no wonder that apart from him, there is no other golden-eyed black fish.
It can truly become the climate.
If he left the water pool and Xuantian Realm and went outside in this state, it would be better if he didn't meet a strong person in the realm of Yuanshen. Otherwise, if he met someone with evil intentions, he would be killed and turned into a great tonic.
Even if a strong man like Jing Huanhou in the Nascent Soul stage is properly prepared and has a thorough plan, it is not impossible for him to defeat his superiors and create the miracle of killing the Great Sage.
In fact, the pupilless saint in front of us can almost be called the most unreliable monster saint in the history of Tianyuan Great World. r1152
