The moonlight was as white as water and gently shone on the earth.
Lin Xiu, who was filled with longing, lay quietly on the bluestone slab. He squinted his eyes and looked towards the east, lost in thought.
The current situation was so turbulent and everyone was doing their best, seizing every minute and second to improve their cultivation, hoping to shine in the upcoming war and become an existence that would attract attention. However, those people would never understand what the Dao Comprehending Realm meant to this continent.
Lin Xiu knew that blindly immersing himself in cultivation sometimes would not be able to achieve the results he expected. On the contrary, it was possible to have a smooth journey on the path of cultivation if there was a degree of relaxation.
Everyone wanted to have the strength to stand at the peak, to be able to stop the attack of the Netherworld Palace and achieve great things.
However, how could it be so easy to become a true powerhouse?
Lin Xiu jumped up from the bluestone slab and stretched his back towards the moon. He yawned and gently punched his temple.
It was not the time to slack off. The days of leisure were over. Lin Xiu immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and began to comprehend again.
Time passed by bit by bit and in the blink of an eye, the distant horizon welcomed another dawn. Another day passed quickly.
Unknowingly, the mysterious young man had quietly come to Lin Xiu's side. He looked at this disciple who was cultivating with a complicated expression on his face. There was gratification, sadness, and some other inexplicable emotions. The various inadequacies in his heart could be seen by others.
Like a magic trick, the mysterious young man took out a table carved from pear wood from his spatial ring. He shook his wrist and the wolf fur brush in his hand began to spread ink on the blank paper.
By the time Lin Xiu opened his eyes, the young man was finally done.
The mysterious young man nodded his head in satisfaction and gestured for Lin Xiu to come forward to look at his work.
Lin Xiu looked at the mysterious young man's vigorous strokes and couldn't help but praise in his heart. The content also made him sigh with emotion.
"In the autumn of 10 years, I was boating on a stream and felt that ancient sages had shed tears. My heart was filled with grief and I wrote this to record it.
When I was young, I loved learning. At the age of three, I learned to read. At the age of six, I had a rough understanding of literature and logic. At the age of nine, I could recite verses. Now, I have been in a trance for several years.
When he was young, his nature was evil, and he worshiped ghosts and gods. Every time he borrowed the name of a family of myths and legends, he would gladly accept them. As a result of this, he gave himself the title of Taoist Trinity. This was the so-called number one in intelligence, number one in magic power, and number one in talent.
He was twelve years old and learned from a strict teacher. He knew that heaven and earth were boundless and the universe was vast. Naturally, he collected his heart and read all kinds of books.
Three years later, my strict teacher left me with these parting words: Born at the end of a strand of hair, rise in the dew of spring and summer, wait until autumn is high and the sky is cool, and die in the age of fireworks.
Winter comes and summer goes, spring leaves and autumn hides. He engraved everything in his heart and did not dare to cross the line. However, he was in his prime and had the spirit of a scholar. After so many years, he felt indignant and arrogant.
When he was seventeen years old, he suddenly came to his senses. Henceforth, he was cautious and conscientious. Only then did he dare to be independent. He traveled between Jiangsu and Anhui, loitering around the world. After three years, he succeeded.
"Born at the end of a strand of hair, I have no father or brother to nurture nobility, no grandfather or grandmother to nurture hostility, no old friends to nurture courage, and after thinking hard, I nurtured harmony.
"When I interact with others, I must be trustworthy and harmonious. When I interact with others, I must not be greedy or unfavorable. When I talk with others, it is like a gentle breeze and drizzle. That is how I am today.
As I grow older, my heart misses my hometown. There is no Taizu's lofty aspiration to be buried in the mountains, no Life and Death Posthumous Writings. All I think about is nothing more than admiring, worthy of the heavens and earth.
Since ancient times, sages have been lonely. How many people can be intoxicated with all living beings?
In my life, all I seek is to have a clear conscience. "
"How is it? What do you think after reading what I have written?" The young man smiled at Lin Xiu, his expression was full of loneliness.
"I originally thought that senior had some complicated thoughts about accepting a cheap disciple like me, but as the saying goes, seeing the words is like seeing the person. Now, I no longer think that way." Lin Xiu revealed a shy smile. He seemed to feel that he was a little too narrow-minded before and gauged the heart of a gentleman.
To be able to write such a majestic chapter and proclaim that all he sought in his life was to have a clear conscience. Lin Xiu felt that he was far from reaching such a spiritual realm.
In fact, as early as when the mysterious young man started writing, Lin Xiu had already woken up. But he also wanted to take this opportunity to understand this cheap master of his and what was his unknown purpose? Now reality proved that even if the mysterious young man in front of him had some unknown thoughts, he was definitely not a bad person.
"You are smart, kid. Because of the matter with Nine Nether back then, I had already made a big mistake. That was why I had the idea to use your hands to set things right and return peace to this world." The young man smiled again and then continued. "When I was still young, I saw too many complicated people. Sometimes, for the sake of a little benefit, it is enough to make brothers turn against each other and father and son become enemies. This kind of world is not what I want."
"So I traveled all the way, especially after I became successful in my cultivation, I traveled to many worlds. I wanted to see that in my own eyes, there is actually kindness in this world."
"Actually, this world is already terrible enough. No matter how strong we are and how much power we have, we still can't change this trend. However, I think that as long as we try our best, the result won't be any worse than it is now. Then, we have already succeeded, don't we?"
Looking at the sacred brilliance on the young man's face, Lin Xiu felt a little ashamed for the first time.
All along, the purpose of supporting his cultivation was to ensure that the people around him could live happily and not be bullied by others because of his strength. Ever since he successfully rescued his mother, Lin Xiu even felt that his goal of cultivation had been achieved.
His family had long been reunited and lived together in harmony. Moreover, he also had a virtuous wife and smart children. This kind of life was really envied by many people.
If it wasn't for the war started by the Netherworld Palace that affected his hard-earned peace, Lin Xiu would have gone into seclusion and stopped caring about the affairs of the world. Naturally, he wouldn't place so much importance on his cultivation.
Now that he heard the mysterious young man's words, Lin Xiu felt that he had a new goal in life for the first time.
Therefore, he bowed respectfully to the young man in front of him and said sincerely.
"Disciple Lin Xiu greets Master."
