Chapter 9 The Outsider, the One Who Breaks the Situation
"If you want to be on par with the sky, it means that the practitioner is strong enough. He has crossed the nine realms and traveled thousands of miles."
"But the problem is that this kind of power is only relative to the creatures in the world, and it is not enough for heaven."
"Do you know why?" Chu Mu Shen asked.
Lu Qingshan thought quietly for a while and asked tentatively: "Because the sky is too powerful?"
"That's a small part of the reason, but it's not the main reason."
"Heaven is not as powerful as you think."
Chu Mu Shen shook his head and rejected Lu Qingshan's answer.
If others said this, it would be too arrogant, but Chu Mu Shen said this just right.
The swordsman who loved fish took a spoon and slowly drank the fish soup from the bowl with a quite leisurely expression, and then pointed upward with the spoon.
Lu Qingshan couldn't help but look up at the blue, cloudless sky.
“Because this world operates according to the rules of heaven, and the birth of all living things follows its rules.
In addition, even the avenues used by monks above the Nine Realms are only part of the way of heaven. "
"In this world, the way of heaven is the highest avenue."
"I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because I am in this mountain."
"Every flower, every grass, every tree in this world, even the air you breathe, and the spiritual energy needed for cultivation, all come from the origin of the world."
"Your birth is a rule of heaven, and the avenue you take is a small part of heaven's way."
"So, how do people fight against the sky?"
"As I just said, cultivation is a very difficult thing, but with such a large number of human beings and such a long time, there are always some monks who can cross the nine realms and reach the other shore, and are about to touch the Touch the sky.”
"But they all failed in the end."
"Because their most powerful weapon is only a part of the way of heaven."
"Heaven is therefore omnipotent, can calculate everything, can understand your weaknesses, and can even take away your power."
"That's what we often say, God is omnipresent and omnipotent."
“Since it is omnipotent, why does it have to wait until someone comes to “provoke” it before taking action instead of nipping the threat in the bud?
Since it is omnipotent, why did Xia Daozu still break through to the ancestral realm? "Lu Qingshan raised his own question.
Chu Mu Shen smiled, then his smile gradually faded, and he said calmly: "Let me answer your first question first."
"Because the way of heaven must also follow rules."
"Just like the emperor of a country, he is the supreme ruler of the country and has the highest rights, but he cannot act arbitrarily and must abide by certain rules. If the rules are violated arbitrarily, the country will perish."
"If the country perishes, can the emperor still be called emperor?"
Lu Qingshan was silent.
"Those monks who have crossed the Nine Realms are 'rebels' to Heavenly Dao. Even the emperor cannot just identify someone as a rebel without evidence and then kill him, right?"
"After all, those who can meet the conditions of "rebellion" are the most powerful people in a country.
If we kill them all without any reason, the country will be doomed." Chu Mu Shen used a very easy-to-understand metaphor to answer Lu Qingshan's question, "Similarly, their strength will also make the country more powerful. powerful. "
"What is needed is a balance."
"So in order to make the "country" stronger, Tiandao can only sit back and watch the threat gradually grow until it challenges it?" Lu Qingshan was still puzzled.
After all, in the Principle Source World, Tiandao had tried to destroy all races to eliminate the threat.
"Who said that?" Chu Mu Shen glanced at Lu Qingshan and then at the sky, "Isn't it always trying to eliminate threats?"
Lu Qingshan was startled. After a moment, he suddenly woke up and murmured: "Heavenly Tribulation..."
Once a monk's cultivation reaches the realm of transcending tribulation, he will face a heavenly tribulation.
Is this a test?
No, this is just a way for Tiandao to eradicate threats.
I don’t know how many monks have fallen on the road or have stopped progressing on the road because of the heavenly tribulation.
If there had been no Heavenly Tribulation, the number of high-level monks in Cang Qiong Tian would be several times or even dozens of times what it is now.
After all, high-level monks no longer have life limit.
"You reacted very quickly," Chu Mu Shen nodded, confirming Lu Qingshan's guess, and then said, "Now let's answer your second question."
"Yes, since God is omnipotent, why is there still an exception? Why is Xia Zu the only exception?"
"Like you, I started thinking about this."
"I'm thinking, what is the difference between Xia Zu and others? It should be this difference that makes him the exception."
"But whether it's the cultivation techniques or the physique, Xia Zu is not unique."
"So I started thinking about other possibilities."
"But these possibilities have been overturned by me one by one."
"It wasn't until later that someone told me the answer." Chu Mu Shen said.
"What is it?" Lu Qingshan was not cooperating this time, but was genuinely concerned and curious.
"The answer is very simple and reasonable," Chu Mu Shen sighed, and added: "At the same time, it is also very difficult to copy."
“The Ancestral Realm is a path against heaven, there is no doubt about this.
This is the world of heaven, its territory. "
"If you want to defeat it on its territory...that's why no one has ever succeeded."
"The most fundamental reason why Xia Zu was able to defeat Heavenly Dao is...he is not from Cangqiongtian."
"He's from another world."
"So he succeeded."
"If this world is a dead game, we are all pawns in the game, and Tiandao is the one who can control the pawns. Xia Zu comes from outside the game and is an outsider, so he can naturally be the one to break the game."
Lu Qingshan felt that his mouth was a little dry.
"Xia Zu...he comes from another world?"
"Does it mean another world like the abyss, the underworld, and the wilderness?" he asked.
"Of course not," Chu Mu Shen shook his head very calmly, "If it were that simple, I would have crossed the boundary sea and gone to the abyss to try to break through the ancestral realm."
"In our world, the sky is round and the earth is round."
"In Xia Zu's world, both the sky and the earth are round." Chu Mu Shen stared at Lu Qingshan's face with bright eyes.
Lu Qingshan was speechless.
Whether he was taking over as the leader of the Sword Sect or facing the provocation of the Sword Washing Pond, his pressure had never been as great as it was at this moment.
He subconsciously glanced at the blue sky, and suddenly felt that the entire sky seemed to be pressing down on him.
"Xia Zu succeeded, but he also failed." Chu Mu Shen continued.
"No one knows the specific reason."
"But I and the person who told me the answer made a very reasonable guess."
"The reason why Xia Zu is successful is because he is not from our world."
"The reason why he failed... is because he still followed the path of heaven after all."
"He is a Dharma cultivator."
Chu Mu Shen looked at Lu Qingshan, smiled and said, "You should understand what I mean."
"Monks all over the world follow the path of harmony, which is the innate way, that is, the way of heaven. This is also destined that they will never be able to transcend the way of heaven."
"Only sword cultivators cultivate the acquired way. If they don't follow the way, they only open the way."
"This makes the path of sword cultivator extremely difficult, but it also makes sword cultivator not restricted by the way of heaven."
The copper cauldron on the table had been turned off at some point, and the fish soup had stopped boiling.
"In other words, if there is really a person who can transcend the way of heaven and ascend to the ancestral realm, then he must meet these two conditions at the same time..."
"The outsider."
"Sword cultivator."
Chu Mu Shen looked at Lu Qingshan and smiled.
"That's 伱."
"Lu Qingshan."
