Chapter 396: Inheritance Illusion
The illusory world can become reality in just a moment of thought.
Lin Chuan suddenly transformed into a child.
What he saw before him was a murder scene, and the victims were his parents.
The deep blood feud caused Lin Chuan's emotions to fluctuate.
He wanted to break free and kill those evil bandits, but Lin Chuan knew that he would lose once he broke free.
This is just a trial.
A child can't do anything just by relying on his own strength.
The bandits who wiped out his entire family finally discovered Lin Chuan and wanted to wipe him out as well.
At the critical moment, a gust of wind swept him away.
Lin Chuan saw an old man with a sage-like appearance.
"Kid, you have good aptitude. Would you like to follow me into the Immortal Sect?" the old man asked.
"Master, I am willing."
The child wants revenge, and the only hope for his survival is to gain more powerful power and follow the old man.
"good."
The old man stroked his beard and smiled, "After you enter my immortal sect, you must put aside your evil thoughts in the mortal world and swear an oath to never commit murder again."
Lin Chuan didn’t know what the test criteria for this illusion were.
To choose between the path to immortality and the seven emotions and six desires?
Or give up personal hatred for the sake of the greater good of all people?
But Lin Chuan had no choice but to follow the old man and swear a vow that he would never be concerned about the mundane world again and would devote himself to Taoism.
"it is good."
The old man smiled and said, "I will give you the Taoist name Xuankong. From now on, you will practice with me."
In this way, the 'Xuankong' transformed by Lin Chuan followed the old man to practice in the illusion.
Day after day, year after year.
Xuankong's talent gradually emerged, and he soon inherited the old man's legacy.
In the process, he also learned the old man's identity.
The old man's name is Chen Qing. He comes from the Bu Tian lineage. His birth mission is to protect the world, which is also a lineage passed down from generation to generation.
It is very easy for the Bu Tian lineage to improve its cultivation.
As long as you practice step by step, you will be able to become the strongest person in the world.
The most important thing is the state of mind.
Once the mind of the Bu Tian lineage is damaged, they will suffer the counterattack of the rules of heaven and earth, become disabled, and become a disaster.
"Sure enough! This drama again?"
It is again a choice between the public and oneself.
Lin Chuan has sunk into the secret realm.
His choices were naturally limited. He had to either inherit the mantle of the Bu Tian lineage and become the guardian of the rules of heaven and earth.
Either give up worldly thoughts and be punished by heaven and earth.
“Xuankong, you have been practicing Taoism for so long, but your mind is still not at peace.” The old man sighed.
"Master, I will not be able to settle down until I avenge my blood feud."
Xuankong no longer endured and spoke the truth in his heart.
"As your master, I know that you have always wanted revenge, but you have already made a vow, and there is no turning back."
"Once you have the intention to kill, you will be punished by heaven and earth, and your body and soul will be destroyed."
"I originally thought that practicing Taoism could smooth out your worldly evil thoughts, help you understand the difference between great good and great evil, and help you understand how to choose between the common good and your own desires."
"It seems that your state of mind cultivation is still far behind."
The old man's tone was full of disappointment.
Xuan Kong asked back, "I just want to avenge my parents' blood feud, is that wrong?"
"Yes."
The old man said: "But you have already made a vow to let go of this grudge. Since you have made a promise, you must bear the consequences."
"You can get revenge."
"When you are disturbed by evil thoughts and turn into disaster, your master will also clean up the mess."
"This is cause and effect."
“Everything happens for a reason.”
The old man's words not only failed to calm Xuan Kong, but made his inner anger grow even stronger.
Xuan Kong asked, "Why don't the people who killed my parents have to bear the consequences? Why were they able to go from being murderers and arsonists to being famous officials?"
"They have done so many evil things, but they are completely forgotten by the world, and they can enjoy a life of wealth and glory instead?"
"Why have I been bullied since I was a child? Those who bully me can bully me all the time because their parents are in high positions and have power?"
"Born to be at the bottom of society, being exploited and bullied, is this karma?"
Xuan Kong's eyes were red as he asked a series of questions.
"What they did will have consequences," said the old man.
"But I can't see it!"
Xuankong was filled with murderous intent and no longer concealed it at all.
"There are still many things you can't see. Even if you kill one evil person, there are still thousands of evil people out there."
“Even if you get rid of the bad guy, when you take his place, you will become the new bad guy, and someone will come to get rid of you.”
"There is no greater cycle of cause and effect in the mortal world than this."
"Fate is determined from birth. You won't see the cause and effect you want to see until you die."
"All living things will eventually turn into dust."
"Xuankong, do you understand?"
The old man was talking about profound principles.
"I don't know!"
Xuan Kong said angrily: "I will make them turn into a pile of yellow earth right now. This is the retribution they deserve!"
The old man sighed, "This is how the mortal world is. If you kill one evil man, what does it matter if you kill ten evil men?"
"Evil will always exist, and so will miserable people."
"Their lives are short, and as time goes by you will find that everything you care about is actually meaningless."
"When you understand this truth, you will be able to truly comprehend the mystery of my Bu Tian lineage."
"Only then can we obtain the final inheritance."
"How to choose is up to you. The teacher has already explained the cause and effect and destiny. How you choose to do it is up to you."
"I will not advise you again."
The old man said this and closed his eyes.
“Is this the final choice?”
It was an illusion, but in the end, Lin Chuan was only given two paths.
Lin Chuan already had the answer in his mind.
If he has to give up his selfish desires in order to inherit, then he would rather not have it. Even if he can forcibly suppress the fluctuations of his emotions, it will be meaningless.
Even if you get something that doesn't go your way, it's impossible to truly succeed in your cultivation.
The limit of Lin Chuan's pursuit in this life.
It is useless to practice the kind of Taoism that is destined to be incompatible with yours, so you might as well abandon it.
Xuankong in the illusion went down the mountain.
"Evil thief, do you still remember me?"
That night, the man was so angry that he slaughtered all the evil villains in the house, not even leaving a child behind.
Xuan Kong said: "If those who do good must be oppressed by those who do evil, then I would rather become the greatest evil in the world!"
Protecting the people! This shouldn't be the case!
Lin Chuan's soul power fluctuated, "Go to hell with your inheritance."
boom!
The illusion shattered.
"Failed?"
Even if the trial fails, Lin Chuan won't care. He can only say that people with different ideas cannot work together, and this path is destined not to be suitable for him.
Just as he was about to leave, a golden light appeared in front of him.
An ancient book fell.
There are five big characters written on it - One Qi becomes Three Pure Ones.
