What was this place?
The unfamiliar surroundings made him very confused. This was not the void of the universe, but within a certain world. The scenery was ordinary, and the people were ordinary!
The scenery was right in front of him. If he took a step forward, he would be integrated into it. But the choice was up to him! He could also retreat. He was very clear that if he kept retreating, he could leave this ordinary world and return to the void of the universe he was familiar with. Then, he could go home through the Exterior realm!
He was somewhat hesitant because some problems were troubling him!
He had no past!
The self that he had painstakingly built up was completely destroyed by the full power of the Exterior realm Immortal Monarch! Thus, he became the person he was now, a person without a past!
This was his punishment for deliberately erasing the name list! At that time, the Jade Book had said, "Since you like to forget the past, then I will help you!"
It had said so, and it had done so!
Not just a certain part of the past, but all of the past!
Was there such a method in this world that could completely erase someone's memory?
Of course there was! For example, the Foundation Establishment Jin Dan could easily erase a mortal's memory. Of course, it was more difficult to selectively erase it. What was important was the ability to use one's mind.
The Yuanying Lord could easily erase the memory of the Foundation Establishment Jin Dan. Similarly, it didn't seem too difficult for a Half-Immortal to erase the memory of a Yuanying?
Therefore, it wasn't impossible for a senior immortal to completely erase the memory of a demon who hadn't completely become a Half-Immortal.
There was a problem to pay attention to here — erasing the memory! It wasn't erasing the past!
The past could never be erased because it actually existed. You could deny it and forget it, but you couldn't make it cease to exist!
It was just that he couldn't recall it, and it was sealed in the depths of his memory … The difference was that the sealing method was different. Some were very difficult to unseal, and the cultivator would never be able to find his past in his lifetime. Some could be done, but it also depended on one's luck and hard work!
But no matter what, this process was necessary. In this universe where every second mattered, it was an extra burden for Lou Xiaoyi.
But the fact was, there was no use regretting it. Since he wanted to succeed in the Exterior realm, this was a risk he had to take!
He had a vague feeling about the situation in front of him! Was it a place he had heard of before? But he wasn't sure?
It seemed to have something to do with his lost past? But that didn't seem to be the case!
It was always hard to guess the thoughts of immortals. However, there was one thing that he was very clear about. The punishment from the Exterior Immortal Monarch seemed to be more of a test than a malicious intent!
His intuition was that everything would be explained once he stepped into this ordinary world! He might succeed, but he might also fail on the verge of success.
If he gave up and returned to the familiar environment of the universe, then he would still be himself, still the all-powerful Lou Xing of the universe. He could still find his past through some method, which was the safest way.
He sighed. He couldn't choose safety now! Because his time was running out!
Two paths, one unknown, the other familiar. It was a classic multiple-choice question, a classic gain and loss!
Lou Xiaoyi smiled. With the unknown, there would be expectations and changes. He would not go back to being the Sect Leader obediently!
He stepped forward and walked into the ordinary world that seemed to be shrouded in fog.
The ordinary world didn't seem ordinary. He was the one who was beginning to become ordinary! His abilities were deteriorating rapidly. He fell from Half Immortal to Monarch, and continued to fall … When he was still hesitating about which path to take, his realm had already fallen to Jin Dan, and continued to fall …
Not every path could be taken! Many paths seemed feasible, but he couldn't take them. There was only one path that seemed to be barely passable.
He realized that he had become a teenager, leaning against the window and studying hard. Looking out of the window, it was so familiar and intimate. Familiar scenes, familiar people … The servants hurried past, the maidservants carried food boxes into the courtyard, and the butler followed behind calmly and steadily. His gaze inadvertently swept over the maidservants' buttocks …
He didn't really become a teenager. It was as if he was a soul floating three feet above the teenager's head! He could feel that as long as he truly merged with his body, he could find his past!
But he couldn't enter!
This was Lou Province! The time period was before his time travel. He was a real young master of Lou Province, not a fake like him!
He more or less understood the meaning of coming to this place! This was deliberately done by an Exterior Immortal Monarch. In other words, this was a very special Immortal Art, a Immortal Art that could erase a cultivator's memories!
It wasn't a barbaric erasure! No matter how barbaric it was, it couldn't erase time, it couldn't erase those things that truly existed! The special thing about this Immortal Art was that while erasing your past memories, it also created a scene for you to find them again!
It was very in line with the true essence of the Immortal Art. It achieved a perfect balance between taking and giving!
If you found your past in this process, then congratulations, you'd successfully established your past self, which was the most difficult of the past, present, and future!
If you couldn't find your past in the end, you couldn't merge with your soul of countless lifetimes, then congratulations, you'd forever lose your past and become a Half Immortal with no past and no future.
It sounded very troublesome? But in fact, it was the method that didn't involve karma, because you'd lose your past because of yourself!
There was a certain logic behind taking off your pants and farting.
This involved a very profound question of Cultivation philosophy. Were the current you and the past you the same?
Philosophy was always very brain-burning. Lou Xiaoyi couldn't figure it out for a while! But he was very clear about one thing. At the very least, the current him wasn't the real Young Master of Lou Province!
Because his consciousness could only float three feet above his former self, he couldn't get any closer!
The current him wasn't him yet!
This was what he needed to work hard for next, to strive to become the past him!
This was a bit of a mouthful, because even if it was a person's life, at different stages, they were actually different versions of themselves. Infant, teenager, youth, adult, middle-aged, old … But there must be something in common among them, and it was this common thing that supported him through reincarnation after reincarnation!
He had a deeper and more fundamental understanding of Samsara, although this kind of understanding was useless to him now!
Then, what do the current me and the past me have in common?
He could only search and find, slowly through the long river of time, through observing every little thing in his life, to find a trace of something hidden in the deepest part of his soul!
He couldn't be anxious, because there was no use in being anxious, because he was now a weak spiritual body that didn't have the strength to truss a chicken. He stopped above his former self's head, and couldn't float away alone, nor could he get any closer!
God is watching from above, so it was referring to himself!
Lou Xiaoyi understood!
