After lunch, the two little ones stayed in the backyard to wash the dishes.
Wutian came to the front yard and stood in front of the flower bed, thinking about the last sentence.
Comprehend the mysteries of life and death.
Everyone knew that life meant living and death meant death.
But Wutian knew very well that the mysteries of life and death here were definitely not that simple.
But what exactly was it?
How could he comprehend it?
Ye Xiuling came to Wutian's side and glanced at the flowers and grass in front of her. She asked, "If I didn't come, would you stay here forever?"
Wutian smiled faintly. "Yes or no, I can only answer you this way. Because no one can be sure about anything in this world."
Ye Xiuling was speechless. "You've only been in seclusion for a dozen years. Can you not be so profound with every sentence?"
Wutian said, "Profound? I don't think so. I just have some understanding of the mortal world … "
"Stop! Stop! "
Ye Xiuling hurriedly said, her face full of anger. She said, "I think I can't stay here any longer. Otherwise, I'll become like you. I'll go out with Aunt Ye. When you comprehend the mysteries of life and death, send me a message. "
Wutian smiled. "I won't see you out. But don't mess around here. After all, this is where I grew up. Just give me some face."
"How can I not give you face, Wutian? Aunt Ye, don't you think so? "Ye Xiuling joked.
"Hehe."
The black-robed old woman smiled but didn't say anything.
Wutian smiled faintly. "My yard is small and can't accommodate a big Buddha like you. Please leave!"
"How boring."
Ye Xiuling waved her hand and disappeared with the black-robed old woman.
"You brought me hope, but you're also using me. I just hope you don't cross the line. Otherwise, I'll kill you regardless of whether you're the mysterious man's daughter or not." Wutian whispered and looked at the horizon. Killing intent flashed in his eyes.
This was the first killing intent he had in ten years. It also meant that he was awakening!
"Ugly uncle, who do you want to kill?"
At this moment, the two little ones walked in from the backyard. When they heard the second half of Wutian's sentence, Shao Ling couldn't help but ask curiously.
Wutian turned around and smiled. "Of course it's to kill bad guys."
"Bad people should be killed."
Shao Ling nodded and said, "Ugly Uncle, what should we do next?"
Wutian glanced at the courtyard and smiled. "Help me loosen the soil in the flower bed and vegetable garden."
Shao Ling immediately pouted and said unhappily, "Ugly uncle, can you stop ordering us to do these meaningless things? Can you teach us something practical?"
"Meaningless?"
Wutian was slightly taken aback. He shook his head and said, "Cultivation requires one to be down-to-earth, one step at a time. Don't even dream of reaching the heavens in a single step. I've seen many geniuses before, and their talents were even better than yours. But because they were too ambitious, they were eventually surpassed by those who weren't that talented."
Shao Chen said puzzledly, "Their talent is good, so why would they still be surpassed by others? This doesn't make sense! "
Wutian said, "Because they were eager for quick success and didn't build a good foundation."
Shao Chen said, "Grandpa seems to have told us the same thing."
Wutian smiled. "So, the most important thing on the path of cultivation isn't speed or talent, but foundation and perseverance, as well as one's own efforts. If you believe Ugly Uncle, don't open your meridians before the age of 16."
Shao Chen frowned. "But if we do that, won't we be surpassed by our peers? How embarrassing would that be?"
"Surpassing others is only temporary. If you want to achieve more, you have to have a long-term vision."
At this point, Wutian's eyebrows slightly wrinkled. He felt that if he were to talk about this now, the two of them might not be able to understand. He might as well talk about something more practical. After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said, "How about this, Uncle Ugly promises you that when you are sixteen years old, you will definitely be able to open 99 meridians."
"99 meridians!"
The two little ones' bodies shook, and their eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Haha, your Ugly Uncle has even opened the legendary Sky Meridians and Earth Meridians. What's a mere 99 meridians to him? Listen to your Ugly Uncle and loosen the soil. "
At this moment, a hearty laugh sounded.
Immediately after, Shen Xi appeared out of thin air.
"Uncle Shen Xi, why are you here?"
"Why don't you teach us how to cultivate?"
The two little ones' eyes lit up and they immediately went up to him.
Hearing this, Shen Xi glanced at Wutian and lowered his head to look at the two little ones who were looking forward to it. He smiled bitterly. "I'm not qualified to teach you in front of your Ugly Uncle. Hurry up and loosen the soil, or I'll spank you."
"Stingy."
"I'll never talk to you again."
The two little ones said fiercely, then covered their butts and ran away.
Shen Xi shook his head in amusement and walked to Wutian's side. He smiled and said, "How are you doing here?"
Wutian nodded.
Shen Xi asked, "Who are they?"
"Who?" Wutian didn't understand.
Shen Xi said, "The two people just now."
Wutian frowned and said, "Have you been hiding here all this time?"
Shen Xi smiled and said, "No, I just happened to come here when they left."
Wutian looked him up and down for a while and said curiously, "They are all Tenth Tribulation Gods, but they didn't sense your arrival. You're really good at hiding your strength! I'm curious, where did you come from? "
Shen Xi smiled and said, "I was born in the Samsara Continent and may die here in the future. As for where I come from, I don't need to tell you when the time comes."
Wutian shook his head and said, "You're still as mysterious as ever. People like you shouldn't be in the Samsara Continent."
The God said, "Then where should I be? Celestial realm? Holy World? As you said, it doesn't matter where the root is. What matters is the heart. The root is where the heart depends. "
Wutian smiled bitterly and said, "Ye Xiuling said my speech was profound. I think you're even more profound than me."
"Ye Xiuling? So it's her, the daughter of the ruler of this world. What a powerful background. "The God said with a hint of sarcasm.
"You know?"
Wutian was very surprised. Even he only knew Ye Xiuling's true identity not long ago. But this mysterious man, who had been staying in the Samsara Continent all this time, knew her identity!
Furthermore, judging from his expression and tone, it seemed like he already knew about it!
This was very, very incredible!
Who on earth was this guy who even knew such a secret?
But he didn't ask. After knowing Shen Xi for so many years, he knew his character. If he didn't want to say something, he wouldn't say it even if a knife was put to his neck.
Wutian smiled and said, "Shen Xi, I haven't thanked you properly. Thank you for giving me the Essence of Wood."
"I would have forgotten if you didn't mention it." Shen Xi smiled faintly and said, "Now, can you tell me why you became like this?"
Wutian nodded and told him in detail about the battle that happened in the Celestial realm more than sixty years ago.
After listening, Shen Xi was silent for a while. Finally, he sighed deeply and shook his head. "I didn't expect you to be like this after going through so many things. Little Wu Hao is Xuanyuan Ao. This is really unexpected. If I'm not wrong, Xuanyuan Ao took away the Celestial Realm to protect the creatures in the Holy World."
"What do you mean?" Wutian frowned.
Shen Xi said faintly, "Xuanyuan Ao is afraid of the revenge of the mysterious person. If the mysterious person comes to the Holy World, it will definitely be a disaster. But it's different with the Celestial Realm. The Celestial Realm is an independent world that can contain everything. Before the mysterious person comes, Xuanyuan Ao can take all the creatures in the Holy World into the Celestial Realm. At that time, as long as he doesn't die, the creatures in the Holy World won't die. If I'm not wrong, he should be in seclusion now to expand the Celestial Realm."
Wutian said, "No matter what the reason is, I will take back the Celestial Realm because it's the only thing my parents left me. No one can take it away."
Shen Xi smiled and said, "I can feel that the sleeping lion is waking up step by step. Wutian, I really hope you can stand up soon."
Wutian smiled and said, "Can I ask you a question?"
Shen Xi asked, "What question?"
Wutian asked, "What is life and death?"
"Life? Death? "
Shen Xi frowned slightly and pondered for a moment. Then she shook her head and said, "You really know how to ask difficult questions. In my understanding, life doesn't just mean living, it also means hope. Death doesn't just mean death, it also means despair. "
"Hope …"
"Despair …"
"Living …"
"Death …"
Wutian pondered. Gradually, he seemed to have thought of something, but the answer was a little vague and illusory. He couldn't grasp it for a while.
"Huff!"
After a long time, Wutian took a deep breath. He still couldn't grasp the answer, but he didn't feel much regret. After all, rebirth was a heaven-defying act. If he could understand it so quickly, it wouldn't be a heaven-defying act. In the world, no one would despair because of the shattering of the Godhead.
Shen Xi looked at him and said with a smile, "I can't help you with this, but there's something I've always wanted to give you."
Wutian asked, "What is it?"
"This!"
Shen Xi opened her hand, and with a flash of light, a palm-sized stone tablet appeared.
But the stone tablet was only half. It was pitch-black and emitted an ancient and mysterious aura!
And on the stone tablet, there was an ancient word — Suppress!
And below this ancient word, there was half a word, but it was incomplete.
"It's this!"
Although the second ancient word was incomplete, and although the stone tablet was only half a piece, Wutian recognized it at a glance. It was the Soul Suppressing Tablet!
Memories of the past uncontrollably surfaced in his mind.
Back then, he, Han Tian, and the little fellow were young and frivolous. They snatched the Ancient Heavenly Scorpion's innate spirit embryo at the Scorpion Ridge, causing the Ancient Heavenly Scorpion to fly into a rage. In the end, the Soul Suppressing Tablet saved them, but in order to save them, the Soul Suppressing Tablet also split in half.
At that time, the Soul Suppressing Tablet said to them: Today's karma, tomorrow's karma. The Ancient Heavenly Scorpion needs to be subdued by you. Go and find the other half of my body, and I can help you in the future.
But at that time, Wutian and the other two were afraid of trouble. To be precise, they were afraid of the Ancient Heavenly Scorpion, so they threw this matter to the back of their minds and didn't search for the other half of the stone tablet. But they never expected that Shen Xi would actually deliver the other half of the stone tablet to him.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly. It really was like the saying: If you don't want something, you can't force it. If it's yours, you can't run away.
