Chapter 469 The Road to Heaven Approaches, the Spiritual Mind is Clear (Part 1)

Su Che had thought about this technical problem a long time ago.

Why are the Demonic Sects, originally one family, now separated at the northern and southern ends of this world? If the earth were a sphere, one could reach the Western Kingdom by following the East Sea.

If that were the case, wouldn't sword cultivators who seek to understand everything end up having a major battle with Buddhists who believe in cause and effect every year?

Could it be that this world is similar to Warhammer Fantasy, with ozone holes at the North and South Poles that allow demons to cascade down?

However, although both the Demonic Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect contain the word "demon," they are still sworn enemies.

Now these problems are easily solved.

The Northern and Southern Demonic Sects may differ in doctrine and creed, but they are still one family. The reason they are separated into the North and South is probably quite simple.

The point where this planet cracked open should be the core of their homeland.

Therefore, with the tearing of heaven and earth, they were naturally isolated at the North and South Poles. Over time, it was quite normal for differences to arise in their doctrines and beliefs.

Many of Su Che's questions were also solved along with this.

For example, why do those Dharma Lords who roam the outer void just stay here and refuse to leave?
Now it seems the reason is quite simple: they came to enjoy the feast.

The Nine Heavens separated the outer void from this world below. However, with the collapse of the planet, the Nine Heavens, having lost its anchor, was destined to vanish. At that time, wouldn't the countless cultivators below be a perfect feast?
The reason they are lingering here so leisurely is simply because they are waiting for the dishes on the table to be cooked.

Why does Xuandu Palace place such importance on cultivating so-called Dao seeds? Why does the Central Plains prohibit immortals above the level of longevity from using supernatural powers?

That's because the world is already broken and the house is about to collapse, so don't kick the roof beams a few more times. It's better to find a few more bricklayers to help with the paperwork.

Looking at the planet that seemed to have burst open from the middle, Su Che couldn't help but think of something very important.

Could this world have turned into its current state because of the mischief of the Five Emperors?

If that's the case, then these five people deserved to die, and it was entirely justified.

"A fleeting reputation and a pittance of profit."

Yu Lizi looked down at the world below and said, "So many outstanding people have fought and struggled for this one thing."

"Teacher...this..."

“Except for those worlds created by great beings with their own power, the stars we inhabit are all subject to the laws of nature. Everything that can give birth to life has certain rules regarding its size, weight, and even its distance from the sun.”

Yu Lizi looked at the earth below: "So it's not a flat earth with a round sky, but a holistic sky rather than a covered sky. As for why it's the way it is now, that's all from ancient times."

Su Che nodded without saying anything.

The question of who is responsible for such a momentous event as the collapse of heaven and earth is not urgent. Such a major news story should be recorded in the records of any of the major sects.

Su Che was curious as to why there was no such message in the human world, but he quickly came to terms with it.

Ultimately, it was my own preconceived notions that led me to this conclusion.

Because he was born a second time, he naturally believed that the world beneath his feet should be a sphere, which is why he was so nervous when he saw this shattered star.

But for the myriad beings and cultivators of this realm, this is the order that has existed since ancient times; this is the "nature" they are familiar with. For countless millennia, from the distant past to the present, this world has remained standing here. The Lord of the End of Dharma has not invaded, and everyone continues their lives and cultivation as before.

Therefore, the thing that should not be taken lightly has become a fact that everyone accepts and ignores.

Upon realizing this, Su Che understood why the mountain gates of major sects such as Huangtiandao and Shenxiaodao were located outside the heavens, as well as the ethereal Xuandu Palace.

It's not that these great sects of the Xuanmen (mystical sects) are seeking thrills by becoming neighbors with the Heavenly Demons; perhaps only these ancient sects truly understand the calamities that countless beings on this planet will face in the future.

The mountain gate is suspended outside the realm, which on the one hand allows it to directly face the invasion of countless heavenly demons, and on the other hand, it is also a preparation for possible changes.

Upon ascending to the heavens, Su Che felt it was too late.

Faced with such a shattered star, many things that were previously difficult to let go of or unclear suddenly became completely clear.

When Zhongyuan re-established the Heavenly Court, besides realizing it was his lifelong ambition, did he also sense something inexplicable?

As the purple clouds continued to rise, Su Che followed Yu Lizi slowly forward, finally leaving the boundary between the Nine Heavens and the outer void, and finally truly stepping into this Zhou Tian universe.

Su Che looked up at the stars in the sky and across the four directions. Perhaps the star he had lived on in his previous life was also slowly rotating with this silent and cold universe, and perhaps there were others there looking up at the stars.

Yu Lizi's thoughts were isolated from the inner and outer void. Su Che sat quietly on the purple cloud, feeling this emotion that was difficult to share with others.

Can you feel it?

Yu Lizi lowered his head and looked at his disciple who was sitting cross-legged. Su Che suddenly noticed that there was a shadow on his teacher's face.

No, it cannot be described as dark clouds, but rather as a kind of terror that cannot be described in words.

Su Che looked at the fleeting twisted patterns in Yu Lizi's hair and noticed that his mentor, Huang Tiandao Zhenren, was faintly exuding demonic intent.

"The demonic intent of the Netherworld extends infinitely into this silence and cold. The heat of the great sun is enough to kill living beings, and souls have nowhere to go here. The place that everyone yearns for, the path to immortality, is itself a void where life is extinguished and only annihilation remains."

Yu Lizi said calmly, the demonic aura on his face gradually dissipating.

"This is immortality."

Yu Lizi looked down at the collapsing planet.

"This is how the immortals give back to this world."

"Because of the collapse, Xuandu Palace and various forces worked together to regulate the laws, so that the earth's structure became higher in the west and lower in the east. As a result, water flowed eastward and gathered into the vast East Sea. In order to prevent the water of the East Sea from impacting the Nine Heavens and creating an opportunity for the Heavenly Demons, the Earth Immortals were stationed there. They used secret methods to condense a net to transform the energy of the water flow into a system that drives the heavens and earth to reunite."

"It is precisely because of this that this world has not completely collapsed and has formed a delicate balance."

Yu Lizi looked at the ground beneath her feet.

"This is the supreme achievement of the Dao, and also the failure of us cultivators. Che'er, the reason I let you see this earth beneath your feet today is to remind you that this world is far more vast than you imagine, and the path of cultivation is longer than you foresee."

"The path to enlightenment is a timeless solitude, a helplessness that supernatural powers sometimes have their limits, and an endless test and torment of one's own heart. Only by remembering this can we continue to move forward."
