Yinshan Record

Chapter 625 What is this mysterious and obscure thing (Part 1)
Do we need Lingwei Yang to return?

Su Che didn't quite understand. Could it be that the Azure Emperor, who was once unparalleled throughout the ages, who personally buried the primordial demon god, and who perished along with the ancient Heavenly Court, could really come back?

Heaven and earth are the inn of all things. Time is the passing guest of a hundred generations. Life is but a dream, how much joy can it hold?

Kongkong'er was reciting a proverb.

"The Five Emperors of the Ancient Realm were already cultivators who stood at the pinnacle of this world. Their understanding and mastery of the Nine Laws of Heaven and Man far exceeded our imagination. Even so, they ultimately failed."

Kongkong'er looked at Su Che and asked, "Do you think there is such a problem, that is, the Nine Laws of Heaven and Man also have their own limits, and even if the nine laws are perfectly integrated, there are still things that the power of magic cannot reach."

Is there an end to supernatural powers and magical abilities?

For Su Che, supernatural powers are a kind of power that turns the impossible into the possible. Its foundation lies in the cultivator's mastery of the various laws between heaven and earth, while the power that drives change comes from the cultivator himself.

This is a real and undeniable power.

But is there a limit to this power?
Su Che had no idea.

“In the past, in the cultivation world, such distinctions were common in ancient times, but they are now rare. If I hadn’t visited the tombs of several ancient cultivators in my early years, I probably wouldn’t have had such thoughts.”

Kongkong'er was talking about a topic that seemed completely unrelated to the ancient Azure Emperor.

“The ancient cultivators were different from us today. They believed that human strength has its limits. Supernatural powers also have their own limits, and there are things that cannot be touched.”

"For example, reversing time."

Reversing time?

Su Che looked at Kong Kong'er, wondering if there was such a way to play.
"In ancient times, and even now, reversing time is considered impossible. Indeed, some powerful beings can restore objects to their original state, allowing them to reconstruct their past structure, and even transcend life and death, bringing the dead back to life and healing the wounded. Even more remarkably, some beings, even after being dead for over a hundred years and their souls scattered throughout the world, still have ways to summon them back for a moment..."

"None of these truly reverse time, because in essence, they are merely piecing together a broken vase. It may appear as if time has been reversed, but in reality, it is just a repair. Just like the Buddhist concept of past, present, and future, it is simply a matter of calculating countless possibilities and choosing the one most likely to come true."

"But within our world, there is a treasure that can truly accomplish all of this."

Kongkong'er looked at Su Che and said, "That is the Six Heavens Yin Instrument created by the ancient Black Emperor."

Six-day Yin Ritual?

Su Che remembered that this item was later collected by the Yin-Yang Dharma King in the Yin-Yang Realm. Later, the Yin-Yang Realm shattered, the Hungry Ghosts revealed their existence, and this magical artifact, along with the Yin-Yang Dharma King, fell into the hands of Zhong Yuan.

"The secret of the Six Heavens Yin Ritual lies in its ability to restore an event to the state it was before it occurred."

Kongkong'er said, "It's like you ate a fruit. Other people's time reversal is just taking the fragments of the past and making a new fruit, but the Six Heavens Yin Instrument can adjust the whole event back to the previous state."

"This……"

Su Che organized the thoughts in his mind.

In other words, with the Six Heavenly Yin Instruments in hand, one could theoretically restore the world to its original state, but there is a paradox here.

If you eat the fruit, and then the Six Heavenly Cycles rewind time to before you ate the fruit...

Who knows if you ever ate this fruit? And who can prove that time really went backwards?
To other observers, you're just about to eat a fruit.

“I know you have many questions, and we have many questions too. Even now, no one can figure out how this thing works or what the underlying principle is. Even the ancient Black Emperor, she... she originally only intended to create a tool for deduction and calculation, but she never expected to create something like this.”

"It will be impossible to replicate it in the future."

"Then how do we know it can reverse time?" Su Che asked. "If the Six Heavens Yin Instrument can truly reverse time, then..."

"Just remember this: without the Six Heavens Yin Instrument, the era of the Primordial Demon Gods would not have ended. Because the Primordial Demon Gods had already become one with the laws of heaven and earth, and were immortal. They themselves represented the various laws between heaven and earth. Back then, it was by using the Six Heavens Yin Instrument's ability to reverse time that their immortal nature was stripped away, and finally, they were sealed away."

So that's why the ancient evil dragon was sealed in the Yin-Yang realm?
Kongkong'er replied briefly, "That's not the point we're making..."

"The key point is that we have ample evidence to prove that the ancient Azure Emperor Lingwei Yangshi was the most likely survivor of the catastrophe that destroyed the ancient Heavenly Court."

"possible?"

Su Che didn't quite understand which possibility this was. The most direct evidence of the Azure Emperor Ling Weiyang's demise was his remains. Since the fall of the ancient Heavenly Court, Ling Weiyang's remains had always been one of the trump cards held by the Mighty and Fearless Heavenly Demon King Narayana.

She is also the embodiment of his ultimate love.

Countless powerful Earth Immortals perished in the hands of this remains, and consequently, far too many Tribulation Masters and Longevity Immortals were corrupted by it.

“Since the Middle Ages, there have been many cultivators who practiced the ancient Azure Emperor’s methods or similar methods. Their personalities and hobbies are very similar to Ling Weiyang back then.”

This could also be role-playing.

Su Che looked at Kong Kong'er. In the eyes of the Third Young Master Su, this kind of evidence proved nothing at all.

"We are almost certain that some of them may have been influenced by the remnant spirit of the Azure Emperor, or that they were transformed from the remnant spirit of the Azure Emperor."

Upon hearing this, Su Che fell into deep thought. The so-called remnant spirit is actually a fairly common phenomenon in the cultivation world.

The most typical remnant spirit is the ghost cultivator that evolves from the soul of a dead person. Some cultivators' own thoughts can also evolve into separate Yin demons, which can also be considered a kind of remnant spirit.

Kongkong'er explained, "This actually involves a fundamental aspect of cultivation theory: whether or not there truly is a seed of innate spirit."

Su Che initially wanted to laugh upon hearing this, but upon closer reflection, he found it increasingly difficult to laugh.

Whether it's Taoism or Buddhism, there's a premise at the beginning of cultivation: that cultivation itself is achievable.

The innate spiritual seed of Taoism and the Tathagatagarbha of emptiness and non-emptiness in Buddhism are similar prerequisites.

Because of this premise, cultivation becomes possible.

But the question is, how do we prove this possibility?

The general answer is empirical; regardless of which company it is or how it is theoretically constructed, they have all eventually launched the most successful products.

That is the Buddha of Buddhism, the Earth Immortal of Taoism, as well as a series of finished products such as sword immortals and demon gods.

The fact is that such a path does exist.

The Xuan and Buddhist schools went even further, with ultimate examples such as the Supreme Dao Ancestor and the Buddha of the Western Paradise, proving the existence of two paths to transcendence: "union with the Dao" and "Nirvana."

That's the reality. We can put theoretical issues aside for now and just follow our ancestors and boldly forge ahead.

"Since such a seed of innate spirit exists, does this seed of innate spirit also possess the characteristics of being immortal, indestructible, indivisible, and eternal, like the demon god?"

Kongkong'er was indeed a top-notch swordsman; at the last moment, his true intentions were revealed.

"If it exists, is it possible to bring back a completely vanished spirit? If it doesn't have this property, can we gradually restore it to its peak by rewinding the remnant spirit's time?"
