Buddha King Tian Ci and Qin Lang weren't talking about the essence of Buddhism to Qin Lang. This was because he knew that Qin Lang had already formed his own path of cultivation and there was no need for him to find another path. Plus, with Buddha King Tian Ci's insight, all paths of cultivation lead to the same destination. In the end, they all end up on the same path: to find the path to immortality!
In the Buddha Realm, there were naturally many methods and spiritual medicines to prolong the lifespan of cultivators. As one of the giants of the Buddha Realm, Buddha King Tian Ci naturally knew many methods to prolong one's lifespan. However, no cultivator's lifespan would be endless. After consuming many spiritual medicines that could prolong one's lifespan, one would naturally develop a 'resistance' to them. Thus, one could only use other spiritual medicines or other methods to prolong one's lifespan. However, after all methods and spiritual medicines were used, the only path left was to wait for death. Or, there was another path: to surpass the heavens!
Humans, or other cultivators, were almost all born from their mother's womb. To leave their mother, they only needed to grow up quickly. However, to leave the world that gave birth to them, they needed to cultivate their own small world or cultivate to the point where they could break through the space node and arrive at another world. Those who could do the second step were few and far between. As for how to surpass the myriad worlds, that was something that probably no one could accomplish. Because the myriad worlds existed everywhere. You could surpass your own great world, and it was even to the extent that you could become a top expert of the Immortal Dimension or Buddha Dimension. But you couldn't surpass the myriad worlds themselves.
Buddha King Tian Ci understood this logic, which was why he was in so much pain. In the end, he participated in the ancient war between immortals and buddhas and even lost his life during the battle. One could say that Buddha King Tian Ci's method was to fight to the death, which was equivalent to 'suicide'.
A Buddha King actually chose to "commit suicide". It sounded inconceivable, but Qin Lang now understood why Buddha King Tianci did this. It was because his future made him feel hopeless. Just as he said, "There is no way out." Since he could see his lifespan coming to an end and that he couldn't escape this fate no matter how much he struggled, Buddha King Tian Ci would rather die in battle and leave his strongest shadow in the river of time.
"What a pity." Towards Buddhist King Tianci's life, Qin Lang only gave these three words. It was because Buddhist King Tianci's fate was truly a pity. This fellow was originally one of the most outstanding geniuses in the Buddha Realm. That was why he was able to reach the Buddha King Realm at such a young age. Even though he could not be said to be unprecedented, there were not many cultivators in the Buddha Realm who could surpass him in terms of talent. Unfortunately, Buddha King Tianci was born at the wrong time. If he had been born in the End of Dharma, he might have been able to find another path of cultivation when the heavens shattered.
If there was no way to escape, he would rather die!
This was the choice of the Heaven Bestowed Buddha King.
"Yeah, what a pity!" Buddha King Tianci sighed, "Do you know why my Buddhist name is Tianci? That's because I understand my own fate. I'm nothing more than a plaything that the heavens have bestowed upon the Buddha Realm. My natural talent in cultivation is something that very few people can compare to, but I'm still unable to escape the cage of the heavens. Thus, what the heavens have bestowed upon me can only be returned in the end.
If I had been born in the Age of Chaos, perhaps I could have found another path. Mortal warrior, being born in the Age of Magic, this is your fortune! "
"Fortune?" Qin Lang laughed at himself. Would anyone be happy just because they were born in a time of war? Would anyone be happy just because they were born in a time of calamity? Would anyone really be happy just because they were born at the end of the world, at the end of the universe?
With different standpoints, their views were naturally different as well.
For those who liked to live a peaceful and comfortable life, they naturally wouldn't want to be born in a time of war and calamity. However, for those who liked to take risks and were restless, they would like to live in a time of change.
For cultivators, they naturally hoped to be born in the early or prosperous period of the myriad worlds. At that time, no matter if it was the spirit energy of heaven and earth or the various cultivation methods, they would all be in a flourishing state. Any talented cultivator would have their cultivation speed increase by leaps and bounds, and they could even become immortals or buddhas in a short period of time. However, for true cultivators, or for cultivators like Buddha King Tianci who wished to adjust, they would rather live in the Age of Chaos or the Age of Chaos. This was because only then would they have more challenges, and only then would they have a place to fulfill their ambitions.
"Lucky kid, from you, I seem to see the possibility of opening another path." Buddha King Tianci Qin Lang said, "Kid, your experience, as a Buddha King, is something that I can only watch in the dust."
"Finding another path is easier said than done. I was merely lucky enough to obtain the original Dao character." Qin Lang wasn't being modest. Of course, he knew what Buddha King Tianci's so-called "other path" meant. It meant a path that transcended the myriad worlds. Qin Lang admitted that he didn't have the ability and vision to do so. In fact, Qin Lang didn't even have the slightest clue.
Before achieving immortality, how could he dare to talk about immortality?
Qin Lang had yet to become a true immortal or a true buddha. He hadn't even seen through the mysteries of immortality, so how could he dare to talk about the path of immortality?
"So, the reason why I woke up in the river of time is because you possess the Origin 'Dao' character?" Buddha King Tianci sighed, "It seems that the legend about the Heaven Wheel is true. There is indeed something that can transcend the myriad worlds!"
"You think that the Heaven Wheel is a substance that transcends the myriad worlds?" Regarding this question, Qin Lang had heard the World Tree mention it. Qin Lang knew that the Heaven Wheel was the key to triggering the calamity of the myriad worlds. However, Qin Lang and the World Tree were completely clueless about the mysteries of the Heaven Wheel. They didn't know the origin of the Heaven Wheel. One had to know that the World Tree was a powerful existence that was born with the myriad worlds. Something that even the World Tree didn't know about was naturally not a small matter. Therefore, Qin Lang hoped to learn some information about the Heaven Wheel from Buddha King Tianci.
"Yes, as I said before, after I became a Buddha King, I constantly searched for the path of immortality. This is because I know that no matter how long I can live, even if I can live as long as the heavens, I will eventually die along with the destruction of the heavens. Therefore, I have always been searching for something that can transcend the heavens. Although I didn't find this path, I heard a rumor about the Heaven Wheel. It is said that when the heavens are completely destroyed, a mysterious Heaven Wheel will appear. This thing will bring destruction to the heavens. Regarding this news, I was also skeptical. Of course, I don't have to doubt it anymore. "
