Chapter 474: Why seek, so one can die without regret (Seeking monthly votes at the start of the month)
Shendidao was not large, only a few dozen kilometers in radius.
But for Li Yuan, who could not mobilize Source Power or use spiritual sense to explore, it was not small.
After leaving the palace where the white-clothed woman was, Li Yuan began to stroll around the island.
"Senior Xing is such an existence. Since she said there are some opportunities on Shendidao that are not inferior to the God Court headquarters, she certainly wouldn't lie to me," Li Yuan thought to himself.
He searched randomly.
But Li Yuan did not enter other palaces again; this was something Senior Xing had specifically instructed.
He had seen the corpse of 'Sky Blue God King' in a palace before. Although there was no life danger... but who knew if other palaces wouldn't be more dangerous?
This island was ultimately left behind by the God Emperor.
Walking along various fork roads, the water flowed, extremely beautiful, like a fairyland. To Li Yuan's eyes, many seemingly ordinary weeds on the roadside would probably have magical effects if placed in the outside world.
But Li Yuan dared not pick them.
Suddenly, Li Yuan stopped his steps because he saw a red-walled corridor, and on one side of the corridor, stone walls were embedded, with a large amount of text on the stone walls.
These texts seemed to be left behind by different powerhouses, radiating different auras.
On the first stone wall, the handwriting was very clear: "The path of the God King, I, Ji Fu, am also going to try. The road ahead is vast, life and death are unpredictable, but I must gamble for a glimmer of survival..."
Through the text, Li Yuan seemed to see a lonely and proud Heavenly God, constantly struggling and moving forward in adversity, wanting to cut through all obstacles...
"Heavenly God Ji Fu?" Li Yuan thought to himself.
Never heard of him.
But daring to say he would impact the God King realm, he was probably an extremely strong existence among Heavenly Gods, perhaps a Heavenly God Monarch.
"This will is truly powerful," Li Yuan sighed inwardly.
He looked at the second stone wall.
"I, Tie Moxin, have traversed the Heavenly God realm for hundreds of thousands of years without a single defeat. I wonder if this God King path can stop me." It was as if the voice of an overbearing man echoed in Li Yuan's mind.
"Holding a sword and traveling nine thousand domains, nothing can stop me." In the handwriting, a female warrior faintly appeared, and that soaring sharp aura made Li Yuan's heart tremble.
"Many senior brothers have lofty ambitions, haha, I don't have such high ambitions, I just want to open the path to a God King and be free for another nine million seven hundred thousand years." It was as if a free and easy Heavenly God was singing passionately.
Stone wall after stone wall.
All were left by Heavenly Gods, their auras either overbearing, lonely and proud, cold, frank, or sharp.
Their intentions were all left in the text on the stone walls.
Under the shroud of invisible power, Li Yuan seemed to have undergone a spiritual baptism.
"Heavenly Gods!"
"These were all left by Heavenly Gods."
"It seems they are all my senior brothers and sisters I have never met. They all seem to have reached the extreme of the Heavenly God realm and are all trying to impact the God King realm," Li Yuan muttered to himself.
Li Yuan already understood a little that impacting the God King realm from the Heavenly God realm seemed to have great danger.
Stone wall after stone wall.
"Will!"
"Powerful will! The spiritual will of these senior brothers and sisters is incredibly powerful. Even through the text, it gives me a sense of suffocation," Li Yuan exclaimed in his heart.
His own will, which he considered powerful.
Compared to these senior brothers and sisters, it was far too inferior...
Whoosh!
Li Yuan looked slower as he went on, and suddenly he was stunned.
"I, Gu Yun, haha, I just can't stand what the three Starry Sky Ancient Cities do. Why are the three Starry Sky Ancient Cities high and mighty, dominating the world for hundreds of millions of years? I want to fight. Senior Xing doesn't allow me to destroy them, so I'll wait until I become a God King and become the Master's inner-sect disciple, then go and change everything..."
"Although I still have one hundred thousand years of life, I have a feeling in the dark that the path of opening the Dao is today. I don't want to wait anymore. When I become a God King, I will personally come and destroy this stone wall." This was the message left by Heavenly God Gu Yun.
Li Yuan sighed in his heart.
He could feel Heavenly God Gu Yun's pride and his sharp personality... but clearly, Heavenly God Gu Yun failed in the end.
He observed for a long time.
Li Yuan finally finished reading the last stone wall.
"A total of two hundred and nineteen pictures," Li Yuan stood in place, silently thinking.
"According to the more than one hundred stone walls I have watched, the stone walls in this red-walled corridor are probably all left behind by disciples under God Emperor Juexing who failed to impact the God King realm."
That's right!
From the messages on many stone walls.
Li Yuan could judge... these powerful Heavenly Gods in history all failed.
If they had succeeded, they should have come back and destroyed these stone walls.
"Will!" Li Yuan muttered in his heart.
He sat cross-legged on the ground and pondered silently.
A strong will must have something to hold onto, something to seek, something to miss... and after the baptism of time, it eventually forms the foundation of a cultivator's will.
"In legends."
"Some powerhouses can have their will survive for long years even after they die," Li Yuan thought to himself. "The will of these senior brothers and sisters runs through time."
Many senior brothers and sisters, clearly far from their life limit, but when the feeling came, they had to impact the God King path.
"What is it that I seek?" Li Yuan muttered in his heart.
For family?
For the hometown civilization? Or for himself?
"My heart is not strong enough."
"When I was young, I longed to get rid of my sick body, I hoped not to disappoint my uncle and aunt, I longed to kill alien races and protect my home," Li Yuan muttered in his heart. "This made me progress extremely fast, able to endure what ordinary people couldn't, and with many opportunities, I became the strongest genius of the Seven Star Civilization... Coming to Juexing Continent, I longed to return to the Seven Star Civilization with enough gains, never slacking off, surpassing many geniuses step by step, becoming the strongest, until I was accepted as a disciple by the God Emperor."
"But what about next?"
"After returning to the Seven Stars, the civilization crisis will be resolved... I will have more ability to solve the many disasters that Alliance Leader Dongfang didn't solve back then."
"What about myself?" Li Yuan reflected on himself silently, polishing his own will.
"Where is the root of my will?"
"My heart is not strong enough!"
Hum~ Invisible power condensed, and the white-clothed woman appeared, silently observing Li Yuan.
With her observation ability, she could detect the changes in Li Yuan's spiritual aura.
A long time passed.
Whoosh! Li Yuan finally opened his eyes, and his gaze seemed to have become much sharper.
"Hmm?"
"Senior Xing?" Li Yuan only then noticed the white-clothed woman beside him and bowed.
"It seems that these stone walls have touched you greatly, and your will should have undergone another transformation," the white-clothed woman smiled.
"I have gained some realization," Li Yuan said solemnly. "The heart should have something to seek! The heart should have something to protect."
The white-clothed woman nodded slightly.
She did not evaluate whether Li Yuan's words were correct.
"Follow me again," the white-clothed woman said. "Go and see some other stone walls."
The white-clothed woman walked forward.
Li Yuan immediately followed.
Soon the two bypassed a row of walls and arrived at another red stone corridor.
Here, there were still stone carvings and murals on the walls, but the number of stone walls was much smaller.
"These?" Li Yuan was stunned.
"Go and see," the white-clothed woman said softly. "After seeing, you will naturally understand."
Li Yuan looked silently.
The first stone wall: "In the end, it's all empty, haha, the Great Dao is empty, it turns out my path was wrong, wrong!"
"Sad and sighable, creation plays with people, what I sought for millions of years, it turns out to be a dream."
"It was wrong from the beginning, the Emperor's path is actually so difficult and bumpy, eternal like a mirror flower and water moon."
... "Where exactly is the path?"
"That's fine, I've been free for millions of years, and I can still be free for a long time, it's not a wasted life."
The messages left on the stone walls, those strong and pessimistic wills, even in the seemingly free and easy text, carried a sense of helplessness... thoughts like a tide constantly impacted Li Yuan.
Almost completely annihilating his spiritual consciousness.
Too intense!
These twenty-odd stone walls, although smaller in number than the previous corridor... but the will contained in each stone wall was far too powerful. In the dark, Li Yuan seemed to see peerless powerhouses walking towards the end of the road with endless unwillingness.
After a long time, Li Yuan finally woke up and fell into long contemplation.
"Senior Xing."
!.
"Are those who left messages on these stone walls all God Kings?" Li Yuan said softly.
"Correct! You guessed right," the white-clothed woman nodded. "They were all personal disciples and inner-sect disciples under the Master, and they were all God Kings who dominated one side... These were all left behind after they failed to impact the God Emperor realm."
"Impact the God Emperor, failed?" Li Yuan was silent.
He thought of the two red-walled corridors, the artistic conception of the text on the stone walls was completely different.
The former, each will was weaker, but mostly full of fighting spirit, vibrant, carrying determination and endless longing.
The latter, clearly the will was more powerful, but it was filled with pessimism and despair.
"Will, success or failure..." Li Yuan thought silently.
These two rows of stone walls touched Li Yuan's heart greatly.
"Come, I will take you to see the last stone wall left by the Master," the white-clothed woman said.
"Left by the Master?" Li Yuan's eyes lit up.
Whoosh!
Passing through an area Li Yuan had never stepped into, among the flowers all over the mountains and plains, Li Yuan saw another inconspicuous stone wall.
It was also carved with text, but the aura it radiated was very weak, probably not even as good as Li Yuan's.
The content of the text was also very simple.
"Why seek, so one can die without regret!"
The white-clothed woman waited quietly on the side, because Li Yuan had once again sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.
This time, Li Yuan thought for longer.
It took a full ten days before he opened his eyes again, and his eyes had become much clearer.
"How is it? Have you thought it through?" The white-clothed woman smiled.
"No," Li Yuan shook his head simply.
The white-clothed woman was stunned.
"I once watched one of my teachers die, and at that time, I longed to save him!" Li Yuan said in a low voice. "At that time, I didn't fear death."
"I also once traveled with a senior, sparing no effort to save him."
"I once worked hard for my family."
"I once fought for civilization!"
"But I know that the emotion of that moment in life is hard to become the permanent drive of my heart," Li Yuan said in a low voice. "So, I haven't thought through the Master's words."
"I still don't know why I seek, so that I can die without regret in the long years and never shake my heart," Li Yuan said.
The white-clothed woman smiled instead.
"But I am still very young."
"I think, on the path of cultivation ahead, I will eventually figure it out," Li Yuan said softly.
These Heavenly Gods and God Kings had all experienced hundreds of thousands or millions of years to temper such a powerful will.
The God Emperor was even more so.
And Li Yuan was still very young.
"Well, I hope I can see the day you figure it out," the white-clothed woman smiled. "You continue to stroll around yourself."
Whoosh!
Her phantom dissipated.
"Why seek?" Li Yuan muttered in his heart: "At least, for now, I hope to return to my hometown civilization and make it more powerful."
Li Yuan looked at the God Palace panel:
——
【Life Level: 49.9 (Fourth Tier)】
Soul: 59
Willpower: 65
Spiritual Awakening Degree: 95% (Current limit 95%)
Although he hadn't thought it through thoroughly, this deep thinking and spiritual baptism made Li Yuan's spiritual will increasingly powerful, and it had unknowingly transformed to level 65.
"Continue to stroll." Li Yuan continued to walk towards other areas of Shendidao.
Not long after.
Li Yuan found another area, which was a very large square.
Stepping into here, he felt the difference.
"Can I feel the origin of the seven basic laws again? My spiritual sense has recovered? Even Source Power can be mobilized a little?" Li Yuan was suspicious.
This place was obviously very special.
As far as Li Yuan's eyes could see, there were also stone walls on the edges of the square.
"Secret Technique Area?" Li Yuan's eyes lit up, and he carefully observed the stone walls one by one.
Different stone walls were engraved with different texts.
Some seemed to be scribbled text, some were simple human figures, and some patterns seemed to be multiple star celestial bodies... but these were just appearances.
With Li Yuan's current realm, he could easily feel the deep-level law mysteries contained in the stone walls.
"These stone walls contain the ultimate art mysteries left by Heavenly Gods."
"Most are incomplete, as if they were made casually."
"But it's enough," Li Yuan smiled. He remembered what Senior Xing said.
Take Heaven and Earth as the teacher, and take the Law Origin Great Dao as the guide.
"Try not to use the guidance of Heavenly God spiritual soul brands like Law Mirrors and Law True Rivers," Li Yuan thought to himself. "But some moves left by Heavenly Gods can still be used for reference."
Don't believe everything in books.
But you can't have no books!
The moves and ultimate arts left on these stone walls were of course not as good as the techniques and secret arts contained in "Ten Thousand Paths of Miscellaneous Studies," but these were two directions.
One was a complete legacy, relatively rigid, like an outline.
The other was the execution of moves, which was more detailed.
Time passed.
After Li Yuan strolled around Shendidao, he found nothing else, so he returned to the Secret Technique Stone Wall area.
This place was the most suitable for cultivation.
Cultivating here made him realize the specialty of the 'Secret Technique Stone Wall Area'.
"So comfortable."
"Staying here, my soul consciousness operation speed seems to have improved again," Li Yuan was secretly shocked. "My soul is even more comfortable, as if there is invisible power infiltrating, assisting my cultivation, making my comprehension of the seven basic laws clearer."
Li Yuan didn't know that this Secret Technique Stone Wall area was originally a holy land for cultivation on Shendidao, specifically built by God Emperor Juexing.
Once.
When God Emperor Juexing was still alive, a large number of Heavenly Gods gathered here to cultivate... now there was only Li Yuan.
Time was like water.
Li Yuan cultivated alone on Shendidao, and in the blink of an eye, more than two years passed.
