Chapter 480 Enlightenment

"When people get old, they always like to reminisce."

The old Taoist Xiaoyao sighed, his voice filled with endless melancholy.

After a while,

Looking at Zhang Qingyuan, he hesitated to speak, with complicated eyes.

"Actually, I don't know whether I should say something or not."

"Senior, just say so."

"Then I will mind my own business, little friend. In fact, the first time I saw you, I felt that you had the same smell as the powerful people of the Zhou Dynasty."

"Um?"

Hearing this, Zhang Qingyuan had some doubts on his face.

"My dear friend, don't blame me for speaking frankly. Although my dear friend is not the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately and is fundamentally different from those guys who care about human life, but in front of all living beings, I am afraid that I regard myself as a superior heavenly being and ignore all living beings. Don’t you think you are one of the sentient beings?”

"There is actually not much difference between this kind of temperament and those powerful people who ignore all the people."

The gentle voice of Xiaoyao Taoist echoed in the void, and his eyes shone with wisdom.

Zhang Qingyuan was silent for a while.

The other party is right,

It is true that my own mentality cannot resonate with all other mortal beings.

When he was weak before, if he was being chased or faced with injustice, he would help.

but now,

All that remains is indifference.

He also knows,

The more you practice, the more you reach the peak, and the more indifferent your personality becomes.

Heaven is ruthless.

Just as he looks at the many sufferings in the world, he only thinks that they are the result of the operation of heaven. The big fish eats the small fish, the small fish eats the shrimp, and the shrimp eats the mud... The weak eats the strong, which is the law of the world.

Although humans are already at the top of the food chain,

But among human groups, the strong exploit the weak, and the stronger exploit the strong. How could it not be a food chain that only exists among human groups?

The order of heaven itself is like this,

When encountering difficulties, he comes to help and rescues the weak, but what can he do?

Looking at the vastness of the world, suffering is just an insignificant speck of dust in the vast sea of ​​sand. Can he save one person or the entire world?

cannot!

This is how the world is.

Unless one day he reaches the level of a creator god who can cleanse everyone's thoughts and turn the whole world into a "dead" world, otherwise he will not be able to change anything.

All he can do is not to become a person struggling and sinking in this endless world.

This,

It also made his temperament become even more indifferent,

Replace the heart of heaven with the human heart,

Nature has reached a state of calmness and is indifferent to the ups and downs of all sentient beings.

"Isn't this true for all monks who have reached the Ten Thousand Transformations Realm?"

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Qingyuan couldn't help but say aloud.

Isn't it like this?

A monk in the realm of all transformations can destroy dozens or millions of civilians with one finger. A monk at this level has already reached an inhuman level.

And according to the Wanhua monks he has seen, even Xiaoyao Laodao himself probably won't take mortal beings seriously, right?

Many monks are already at a high level when they reach the Cave Realm and are respected by all living beings in the world.

Is there anything wrong with such a mentality?

"Of course it's different."

The old Taoist Xiaoyao shook his head and spoke in a gentle voice.

"My little friend, we have experienced it before. We have seen our friends from the past pass away one after another in the years. We have experienced the passage of time, the ruthlessness of the years, and the final transformation of our mind. The state of self-sorrow.”

"But little friend, your talent is too strong. This is your luck and your misfortune."

"With your extremely high talent, you have already reached a state that we have spent our entire lives reaching before you can fully appreciate life and the birth, old age, sickness and death of a human being."

"It's too fast. Before your journey is complete, you have already reached the peak."

"If I'm not wrong, little friend, you have not had many close friends of the same age with whom you have close friendships throughout your life... Because of your talent, you may not see each other for several years. The gap is huge, and there is no topic... As you move forward, everyone who has been in contact with you will soon be left behind by you. On this road, Gradually I became alone..."

"In my opinion, little friend, you seem to not belong to this world. You are deeply separated from this world. Standing outside this world, the development of the world has nothing to do with you..."

"In this way, you can see more, and with your own intelligence, you can understand more."

"The more you see clearly, the more you resonate with the way of heaven, the more indifferent your mind becomes, and you gradually put yourself into the perspective of heaven to see all living beings in the world."

"But, we are human!"

"Even if you are a heavenly being, you are still a human being!"

"Before we became immortals and transcended the world, we were all humans walking on the earth. How could we regard the vision of heaven as our own?"

"Of course it doesn't matter to me. We have come step by step to where we are today. Although our former friends, comrades, and relatives have all turned into dust, our long life has made us understand who we are, where we come from, and where we are going. Go and know your own nature, so it doesn’t matter much if you understand the heavenly mind.”

"But little friend... Isolated from the world, I am afraid that one day I will be influenced by the way of heaven, gradually transform into a Taoist, and become a puppet of the way of heaven who only cultivates!"

Xiaoyao Laodao's words immediately hit Zhang Qingyuan's head like a thunderbolt.

In an instant,

He was completely stunned.

Standing there blankly.

Is Xiaoyao Laodao wrong?

not at all!

Because of my status as a time traveler, I have always been alienated from this world.

And because my practice speed is too fast,

In his past experiences, there were not many worthy of his profound memories, and there were not many people and bonds.

Since traveling to this world,

He has been practicing, practicing, and practicing again.

When he stood higher and saw the world farther away, his mind became more and more indifferent, and his thinking became more and more in the direction of the order of heaven!

this moment,

Zhang Qingyuan couldn't help but feel a creepy feeling!

one's own humanity,

It seems to be gradually lost!

How much of my former self is still there?

It seems that a long time ago, he did not act based on his own ideas, but looked at everything in the world based on the laws of heaven!

Just like when I met Lin Hao more than ten years ago.

If I had just come to this world, I would have saved the other person without hesitation and followed my own thoughts.

but now,

Instead, you need to find an excuse for yourself, an excuse to avoid the laws of heaven and earth to save people!

I am not the way of heaven,

Why should we use the cold laws of Heaven as our requirements for action?

In an instant,

Zhang Qingyuan stood there blankly,

The whole person was stunned.
