"In the ancient times, there was no distinction between immortals and mortals in this world. There was also no such thing as cultivation. At that time, the entire world was controlled by mortals. In other words, everything that the world has today originated from mortals." Emperor Yan narrowed his eyes and said.
"That's true. However, everything needs to develop. Things that stop moving forward will gradually be destroyed. Now that there's a distinction between immortals and mortals, it's also a reflection of the progress of the universe. Although we have to look at history for a lot of things, we should pay more attention to the future. "Xiao Lingyu was a university student after all. He definitely had the capital to chat.
"Haha, it's good to look at the future. However, the future can't be accurately predicted. It's also a great thing to deduce the future by experiencing the past. There are many things in the past that we can no longer see. However, in places like these, we can see the traces of the past more clearly. Fundamentally speaking, the people here are purer and more primitive than us. "Emperor Yan was still smiling as he explained these seemingly ethereal principles.
"Only an expert with great wisdom like you would be able to understand some of the mysteries of this universe. However, I'm an impatient person, and I hate studying these intangible things the most. I really don't have the time," Xiao Lingyu said with a sigh.
"It's okay if you don't study it. As long as you agree."
As Emperor Yan said this, the waiter served wine and dishes. The entire table was filled and the aroma filled the air.
After three rounds of drinks, Emperor Yan suddenly said, "Little brother, do you know that there's a saying in the ancient times? That is, cultivators have to experience hundreds of lifetimes before they can see through the world of mortals. Only then can they have great enlightenment."
"Oh?" Xiao Lingyu frowned slightly. Then, he replied, "Before I came to the cultivation world and before I started cultivating, I read about it in some books. However, to me, it's just a legend. Everyone only has one life. How can they experience hundreds of lifetimes? "
"I knew you must have heard of it. After all, you're also from Earth. This saying was passed down by the powerful cultivators of Earth in the ancient times." Emperor Yan said as he drank.
"Also? Are you also from Earth? "Xiao Lingyu asked in surprise.
Yan Tianzi first nodded, then shook his head and said, "My ancestor is from Earth, but I have never been to Earth. I can only be considered as a descendant of Earth, unlike you who was born and raised on Earth."
"Haha, even so, we're still from the same hometown. Here's a toast to you!" Xiao Lingyu replied with a hearty laugh before downing the cup.
Yan Tianzi drank a cup and said, "I heard the earth no longer exists, do you know who did it?"
Xiao Lingyu answered truthfully, "It was the Black Blood Demon Great Elder Li You. According to him, he seemed to be chasing after a Fire Phoenix and didn't know that it was Earth."
"Sigh, the powerful cultivators of Earth in the ancient times were so powerful in the cultivation world. Even if they hid Earth, they couldn't let Earth be passed down forever. However, this is also the fate of the heavens." Emperor Yan sighed and said.
"What do you mean by 'the heavens will fall'? That's because Li You treats life like ants. If he had scruples, why would Earth be destroyed?" Xiao Lingyu said bitterly.
"Although Li You is not a kind person, how many kind people are there in this cultivation world where the strong preys on the weak? Even the Taiyi Immortal Sect that always claims to be the leader of the righteous sects often does shady things. However, good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be punished with evil. It's not that there's no karma, it's just that it's not time yet! "Emperor Yan shook his head and said.
"Fellow Daoist, your words sound very familiar." Xiao Lingyu said again, "Fellow Daoist, with your extraordinary knowledge, you also believe in the cycle of nature and karma?"
"Haha, what's there to not believe? This is the truth. Although many cultivators do bad things because of their high cultivation level or powerful Dharma Treasures, they are free and happy now. However, even if they go to the Immortal Realm and then to the Immortal Realm, they won't have a good ending. "Emperor Yan said with a smile.
"Then according to Fellow Daoist's words, anyone who can cultivate to the peak is a virtuous and virtuous person?" Xiao Lingyu didn't seem to agree with Emperor Yan's words because he knew that in this world, whoever's fist is stronger, no matter who is good or evil, as long as you are strong enough, nothing can restrict you.
"I don't know about that either. After all, I haven't seen any of those powerful cultivators who have cultivated to the extreme. However, I am sure of one thing, and that is that those who cultivate wholeheartedly and understand everything in the world and have a kind heart will be able to go further and more steadily on the path of cultivation. Some books left behind from the ancient times also recorded that the truly powerful people in the ancient times were all kind and obedient. "Emperor Yan said with uncertainty.
"Obedient to the heavens? Isn't our cultivation something that goes against the heavens? Since we've been doing things that go against the heavens, how can we comply with the heavens? "Xiao Lingyu asked suspiciously.
"Cultivation is indeed going against the laws of nature and fighting against the heavens. However, the heavens that the ancient experts spoke of were referring to the laws of nature and not the so-called heavens. I wonder if there really is such a thing as heavens in the Vast Thousand World. Cultivating in defiance of the heavens but complying with the laws of nature is the way to comply with the laws of nature. "Emperor Yan explained calmly.
"Then isn't the law of the jungle also the law of nature?" Xiao Lingyu asked again.
"There's nothing wrong with the law of the jungle, but it's wrong to kill the innocent and destroy humanity. Life given by nature can't be taken away at will. Even if you have no other choice, you have to think twice before you raise your butcher's knife. "Emperor Yan replied.
"Sigh, good people get bullied. I'm a good person, but there's always someone who goes against me." Xiao Lingyu said with a sigh, but he didn't look ashamed at all.
"Although you're not a bad person, you're definitely not a good person either. However, you're lucky. Earth was destroyed, but you're still alive and have such amazing achievements." Emperor Yan seemed to be comforting him.
"I think my good luck is coming to an end." Xiao Lingyu said meaningfully.
"I think you're still very lucky. It's just some ignorant cultivators who brought you some trouble. This is also a training for you." Emperor Yan shook his head and said.
"Fellow cultivator, don't try to comfort me with those baseless words. With so many top cultivators chasing after me, I'm already at the end of my rope. It's hard to find a place to hide for two years." Xiao Lingyu said gloomily.
"Little Brother, if you had a few more powerful helpers, you wouldn't have to run all over the place." Emperor Yan pointed out.
"How can I have so many powerful helpers willing to work for me? But if I have some time to cultivate, these so-called top cultivators won't be so scary. "Xiao Lingyu said helplessly.
"Little brother, the chaotic energy you cultivate is indeed very powerful. However, your cultivation and level aren't stable yet. Otherwise, you wouldn't be afraid of anyone in the cultivation world now." Emperor Yan's tone was very normal when he said that. He didn't sound proud at all like he had just exposed someone's secret.
However, Xiao Lingyu was shocked and couldn't help but stand up.
Seeing that Emperor Yan didn't have much of a reaction, Xiao Lingyu sat down again and said, "Fellow cultivator, I'm really impressed. You can even tell what I'm cultivating."
"Although cultivators who cultivate Primal Chaos Force are extremely rare, Primal Chaos Force is an energy that can be found all over the world. Others are unable to tell because they have never come into contact with this system. I myself only found out about the existence of Primal Chaos Force by chance. Little brother, you didn't hide your aura, so of course I can tell. "Emperor Yan explained.
"Fellow cultivator, you're very perceptive." Xiao Lingyu forced himself to be calm.
"The power of chaos is everywhere. Truth be told, many cultivators know that. However, cultivating the power of chaos is difficult. It requires a very systematic cultivation technique to complement it. This cultivation technique is too rare. Even in ancient times, there were only a few of them. Since you've cultivated the power of chaos and reached this level, you should have a very systematic cultivation method. However, you've been too focused on improving yourself, so your power and cultivation level are a little shallow, "Yan Tianzi added when he saw that Xiao Lingyu didn't mind.
"I know that, but sometimes, the development of things is not something I can control. Just like this time, I had no intention of provoking those fellows, but those fellows chased after me relentlessly." Xiao Lingyu said with a helpless expression.
Emperor Yan could tell that Xiao Lingyu was purposely changing the topic so he didn't continue talking about chaotic energy. He said, "I can show you the way."
"Oh? Don't tell me there's a condition? "Xiao Lingyu asked curiously.
"Little brother, we're from the same hometown and we're fated to meet. Why would I talk about conditions with you?"
Emperor Yan shook his head and said, "In the northwest of the cultivation realm, there's a cultivation continent called the Seven Dou Continent. Fellow cultivator, you can go there and fly into the stars. You'll be able to find a temporary safe place to stay."
"Northwest of the cultivation realm? Isn't that the northwest of the cultivation realm? "Xiao Lingyu asked curiously.
"Haha, the Seven Dou Continent isn't far from here. Little brother, you can go a bit further northwest and you'll find out where the Seven Dou Continent is." Emperor Yan nodded and smiled.
"No wonder you're sure that I'll be fine. So you've already thought of a way out for me. I'm truly grateful for Fellow Daoist's help. "Xiao Lingyu rubbed his chin and said noncommittally.
"Little brother, don't worry. I'm only helping you because I feel that we're fated. Maybe you'll be able to help me in the immortal realm. I don't want anything from you."
