Zhang Yan was in a world of gray and white mixed with firelight.
This is not the Desolate Heaven Realm, but a boundary that Zhang Yan has never done much.
The wind roared in my ears like a ghost, and everywhere in front of me were scenes of destruction. The earth was collapsing and breaking, the mountains were collapsing, and streams of lava hundreds of feet high were spraying out like rain.
This is the scene of a world dying when the origin of the world officially begins to collapse.
Let go of your spiritual thoughts, cover the edge as much as possible, and feel every detail of the edge. Including the "inside the space" that cannot be seen by the naked eye.
In the past, Zhang Yan's understanding of a world or a world was extremely vague. It could be said that there was only a "name" hanging in the sky and had no specific meaning.
It was not until he began to experience the heavenly tribulations and achieve the body of an immortal spirit that Zhang Yan had the impression of the world. At this point, the world is not just an empty "name", but a concrete entity with a specific image and location.
exist.
Just what kind of existence is the world? Zhang Yan is curious, but knows nothing.
Later, when the Wild Sky Territory took the initiative to contact him, although they were unable to communicate for a long time due to the disparity in strength, this "face to face" with the Wild Heaven Territory once again clarified the context of heaven and earth in Zhang Yan's cognition.
Heaven and earth are not living beings in a simple sense, but a higher level of life than living beings. There is also "growth" and "death", and there is also the need to "sharpen" and face "failure".
In a sense, Zhang Yan feels that there are some similarities between living beings and heaven and earth. Zhang Yan even feels more and more that Taoist practice is actually actively transforming towards the level of life like heaven and earth bit by bit. This
This feeling has actually been felt since Zhang Yan entered the Tongxuan Realm. It became even more obvious after he entered the Human Immortal Realm.
Whether it is enlightenment that has become the absolute main path of cultivation, or the cultivation of the physical body by immortal energy, or the in-depth development of the power of rules, they are all clearly working towards a direction similar to that of heaven and earth.
Enlightenment, enlightenment... Isn't the initial place of Tao just heaven and earth?
Zhang Yan embodied the foundation of spiritual practice from "transcendence from self" to the consciousness of "self, heaven and earth". He felt that the ultimate goal of spiritual practice was to become a living body like heaven and earth, possessing a higher level of life and more powerful life force.
"Huh...is this my first enlightenment?"
The distracting thoughts in my heart were turbulent, and finally they were condensed into a sigh, which I said to myself, and at the same time, I kept falling with the scene of world destruction in front of me.
After entering the human fairyland, time, aura, and accumulation all seemed to become elusive. Only the power of rules and enlightenment became the theme.
Zhang Yan had never enlightened himself before. He had always been busy accumulating spiritual energy and hastily breaking through the realm. In fact, many times it was not that he was eager for success, but that he was running away as if being chased by a vicious dog. It can be said that
I can't help myself.
From the very beginning when he fought against the demon clan in the Yubei Mountain Fortress, Zhang Yan has been frantically chasing the cultivation realm in order to survive, just to protect himself. Later, when he came to Langyuan City, because of the death of his body,
The father and son of the Qiu Wu family fought to the death openly and secretly, relying not only on their brains but also on their eagerness to practice. As well as the gift of merit and spiritual energy from the Wild Heaven Realm that had already begun to show its strength at that time.
Huangtianyu said that Zhang Yan was an anomaly, but it did not say where the "extraordinary" was. The only thing mentioned was the four words "resurrection from the dead."
Maybe it seems to Huangtianyu that Zhang Yan is already dead, but he somehow comes back to life. This is Zhang Yan's "strangeness". Or maybe Huangtianyu is deliberately keeping something unsaid?
However, for Zhang Yan, these can only hang in his mind for the time being. Because since the previous "deal" with Huangtianyu about cleaning up the three-eyed clan in the edge realm, Huangtianyu has never communicated with him again. So.
Even if Zhang Yan wanted to make more speculations, there was no chance for him to learn more about the situation.
Moreover, that "transaction" had completely broken Zhang Yan's original feelings about the "spiritual energy of merit" and the description of "heaven and earth" in the Taoist books.
Heaven and earth are not rigid. They also have desires and choices.
Perhaps due to the insecurity of being an orphan on earth since childhood, Zhang Yan has the habit of choosing to give himself a way out once he discovers that something is completely beyond his knowledge. Now it has sprouted from the bottom of his heart.
Both Android and Apple are available.]
After all, the Wild Sky Realm is not an absolute dogma and rigid existence. Once it has its own desires, it may give up everything. This is not good news for Zhang Yan.
Moreover, because the "principles" all come from the Wild Sky Realm, they are treated as transparent and can be observed however they want. This makes Zhang Yan quite horrified in his heart.
In this case, the way to change himself and leave a way out was placed in front of Zhang Yan. It seemed that there was only one way: to gradually break away from the support of the Wild Sky Territory and become stronger.
Then you have to start with your own enlightenment. Instead of relying solely on the indoctrination from the Wild Sky Realm like before. This is also the goal that Zhang Yan has set for himself now and has begun to implement it.
With the foundation of the "principles" from the Entraining Qi Realm to the Tongxuan Realm, there are no barriers to Zhang Yan's enlightenment. It's just that he is very embarrassed to face a problem that shouldn't arise at his level of cultivation, that is, he doesn't
I know my own Taoist mind, so I don’t know which direction I should go in for enlightenment. I can only pursue enlightenment according to my temperament.
But what Zhang Yan is interested in is not the strength of power. For him, he has already mastered a huge power that he has never imagined. When there is no crisis to force him, his desire for power is not strong.
.But there is a natural curiosity about the unknown that comes from humans in another world.
For example, where are the starry skies seen in the Wild Sky Realm? Are they the planets in the world on the other side of the earth? Or are they other worlds like the Wild Sky Realm? Or there is nothing at all, and what you see is just the evolution of the Wild Sky Realm.
Just a speck of light coming out?
Another example is that we see a lot of dead people. What is the scene like in the dead world?
That's why Zhang Yan chose to come here shortly before the collapse of the world in the edge world began. Covered by his spiritual thoughts, he carefully felt the whole process of this world from birth to death. And during this process, his mind of enlightenment couldn't help but wander.
Flying out. From simple curiosity to shock and immersive understanding. Zhang Yan was unknowingly immersed in this world-destroying disaster.
This feeling was so wonderful that Zhang Yan even forgot everything around him and closed his eyes. He felt inexplicably that he was at the edge of death at this moment...
