Jianchen was unable to contain his excitement as he watched the scenery fly past him. He would be able to fly soon as well. Now that he could control the energy of the world with his mind, flying was no longer a problem for him. He just had not grasped the corresponding trick yet. After some time, he would be able to fly freely in the sky like the Sky Saint.
Jianchen slowly closed his eyes and used his mind to sense the wind elemental energy around him. He attempted to find a trick from it so that he could grasp the ability to fly faster.
Flying in the air seemed simple, but there were many details involved in it. It required constant practice to become proficient in it. Otherwise, if a beginner were to fly hundreds of meters in the air, they might not be able to control their own body after being blown by the wind.
Flying was very fast. Before long, Little Fatty's father had brought Jianchen back to Longevity Valley. It was currently noon, and smoke curled into the air above the village. The smoke was like mist, drifting with the wind. Many burly men were busy outside the village.
Little Fatty's father did not hide anything. He used the Force of the World to carry Jianchen and the huge Bloodwolf King to the center of the village before slowly landing.
"Hi, Xiu Mi is back …"
"Xiu Mi went out to catch another magical beast of this size …"
"Haha, we can't even finish the meat in our village now. Who knows how long it'll take to eat such a large wolf …"
"Sigh, Xiu Mi always goes out to hunt some fierce beasts for our village. He's made a great contribution to our village …"
All of the villagers came forward and looked at Little Fatty's father with respect and worship from the bottom of their hearts. As for Little Fatty's father's return, they were already used to it. Thus, there was not a single trace of surprise in their eyes.
Little Fatty's father chuckled and warmly greeted the villagers. He did not put on any airs as a Heaven Saint Master at all. He seemed extremely amiable.
"Xiu Mi, you really are amazing. Such a big wolf must be very powerful. You actually killed it so easily." A burly man said with a smile.
Little Fatty's father shook his head and said, "Everyone is mistaken, this magical beast is not …"
Just as Little Fatty's father said this, he was interrupted by Jianchen and said, "Uncle, let's quickly distribute this Blood Wolf King. While it is still fresh, we should quickly cook it. This way, it will taste even better."
Little Fatty's father laughed and said, "Good, good, good. Da Zhuang, get a few more strong people to skin this Blood Wolf King and then share the meat with everyone."
"Okay!" The big man shouted happily and immediately went to gather the people.
"Wow, Dad, you caught such a big magical beast again." A familiar voice sounded from afar. Little Fatty, whose feet were covered in mud, carried a hoe on his shoulder and came back from the fields with his grandfather.
Little Fatty's father did not explain anything. After greeting everyone, he brought Jianchen back to his room to eat.
All the food was prepared by Little Fatty's mother. She looked to be in her thirties and was extremely beautiful. She had a noble aura about her, as though she was born in a large family. Although she was dressed normally, it could not hide her unique aura. With one look, one could tell that she was not someone who grew up in a village.
Jianchen and Little Fatty's family of four sat around a round table and ate lunch. The food was extremely simple, almost all of it being vegetables that they had grown themselves.
Little Fatty's grandfather looked deeply at Jianchen and said with a smile, "Kid, come with me to the corn fields in the afternoon. There is still a large piece of land there that needs to be cultivated."
"Grandpa, Jianchen's injuries have just healed. How can you make him work? Once my father and I finish planting the vegetables, we'll go help you." Little Fatty's tone was somewhat resentful. It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with his grandfather asking Jianchen to cultivate the fields.
When he heard Little Fatty's grandfather ask him to cultivate the fields, Jianchen's face revealed a trace of surprise. But he immediately let it go and said, "Okay, but I have never cultivated the fields before. If there is anything I don't understand, I hope that Senior can give me some pointers." Jianchen knew that Little Fatty's grandfather was a hidden expert. Although he did not know why he lived such a secluded life, Jianchen would not waste the opportunity to get close to Little Fatty's grandfather.
"No need to call me Senior. My surname is Xiu. I am the village chief of this village. You can call me Village Chief Xiu or Uncle Xiu." Little Fatty's grandfather was amiable, his face full of kindness.
After lunch, Jianchen was immediately called away by Uncle Xiu. The two of them, one old and one young, each carried a large hoe on their shoulders and walked towards the corn fields in the distance.
Jianchen looked at the hoe on his shoulder and could not help but reveal a trace of a bitter smile.
"Do you think that your status is so high that carrying a hoe on your shoulder will only lower your status?" Little Fatty's grandfather's face had already lost its amiable appearance. He looked ahead and said expressionlessly. Perhaps, his kind side would only be shown in front of his own village.
"Uncle Xiu, don't misunderstand. I don't have such thoughts. It's just that this is the first time I'm carrying a hoe. It's very novel." Jianchen hurriedly explained.
"En, that's good. No matter how powerful you are or how high your status is, you must not lose your own heart. A person's heart is the most important. Having a kind and benevolent heart will help you reach the peak. You must remember this point in your heart! Otherwise, even if your talent is peerless and you have endless fortuitous encounters, your final achievements will be very limited. "Uncle Xiu lightly said.
"This junior will definitely remember!" Jianchen humbly asked for guidance.
Uncle Xiu carried the hoe on his shoulder and walked barefooted into the fields. He continued, "I know that you may not necessarily not understand what I mean. Do you know that all Saint Rulers on the Tian Yuan Continent choose to live in seclusion and rarely move about in the outside world?"
Jianchen pondered with furrowed brows. He said, "This junior originally thought that people at that level of strength had basically transcended the secular world, breaking away from the temptation of money and authority. That's why they rarely move about on the Tian Yuan Continent. Now that I've heard uncle Xiu's words, the situation seems to be completely different. Is that so?"
"That's right. The situation isn't what you've imagined because all Saint Rulers have comprehended the mysteries of the world. As they gain great strength, they're bound by the world as well," said Jian Chen.
"Bound by the world?" Jianchen was curious. This was the first time he had heard about the secrets of Saint Rulers.
"Correct. It's the binding of the world. All Saint Rulers will be punished by the Celestial Decay. The Celestial Decay is extremely terrifying. Since ancient times, no one has been able to break free from it. It's a law of the world that specifically targets Saint Rulers who have committed great sins." Uncle Xiu's expression became solemn. He was obviously very afraid of the Five Decay of the Celestial Being.
"Uncle Xiu, what's the Celestial Decay? Is it that terrifying? " Jianchen asked in doubt. He had never heard of this before, so he could not help but be curious now that he had heard about it.
"The Five Signs of Celestial Decay is a law of the world. It's a punishment that transcends time and can kill Saint Rulers and above. There are usually five ways a person who suffers from the Five Signs of Celestial Decay. Their hair will wither like dry grass, their body will become as thin as wood, their blood will evaporate, their organs will be incinerated, and their soul will be destroyed. On the Tian Yuan Continent, no matter how powerful they are, they will not be able to escape the punishment of the Five Signs of Celestial Decay. As a result, the Five Signs of Celestial Decay is a law that restricts Saint Rulers and above. It prevents them from using their strength to commit heinous crimes."
"Then what counts as committing great sins?" Jianchen asked.
At this moment, the two of them had already arrived in the field. Uncle Xiu stood in the field with his feet bare as he swung his hoe and plowed the ground. At the same time, he said, "No one knows the exact situation, but after so many years, the experts of the Tian Yuan Continent have already learned a few things from the people who have committed great sins. As long as Saint Rulers kill too many ordinary people or do something that goes against the peace of the world, they will be considered great sins. As for what other sins fall within the punishment of the Celestial Decay, we do not know."
"The Five Signs of Celestial Decay is only a law of the world that restricts experts above the Saint Ruler Realm from committing boundless crimes. However, it's not the reason why Saint Rulers don't come out. The real reason why Saint Rulers don't come out is still their heart!"
"Conscience?" Jianchen became doubtful again.
"Yes, conscience. The world of mortals is a huge vat of dye. No matter how pure and kind you are, you'll be dyed by the world of mortals. Those who lose their conscience and have weak wills will even be bewitched by money and power. If Saint Rulers want to constantly improve, they need to constantly comprehend the mysteries of the world. Comprehending the mysteries of the world is extremely important to their mental fortitude. When the mind is as calm as water, detached from the world and unaffected by the world, that's when the soul is closest to the world. At that time, comprehending the mysteries of the world will be much easier. Once the mind is in a mess and you're affected by the world of mortals, it's equivalent to falling into a game of chess and becoming a chess piece. How can you detach yourself from the world and become one with the world? You won't be able to comprehend the mysteries of the world. If you can't jump out and recover your conscience, you won't be able to make any progress in your life, "uncle Xiu nonchalantly explained to Jianchen as he dug up the ground with his hoe.
Jianchen remained speechless for quite some time after hearing that. He constantly thought about everything uncle Xiu had said. Uncle Xiu's words had enlightened Jianchen greatly. Listening to him was better than studying for ten years.
The cultivation of Saint Rulers was not like ordinary people who absorbed energy to strengthen themselves. Their path was to comprehend the mysteries of the world.
