883 With Heaven in my Embrace, the World Becomes an Ocean (2/2)
In the human world, there was no explanation of how he was able to perceive this ocean in his mind.
Many years ago, during his return from Wei City to Chang'an, Ning Que had a conversation with the passerby, Lu Qingchen. In that dialogue, Ning Que said that he had once perceived an ocean in his dream. At that point, Lu Qingchen thought it was a dream and nothing more, since Ning Que did not have the potential for cultivation.
This was because of Initial Awareness, the ability to perceive the surrounding world and it was an initial indication of a cultivator's potential. In all of recorded history, Liu Bai was known to have had the most powerful Initial Awareness.
When Liu Bai experienced Initial Awareness, he saw a broad, coursing, yellow river.
How Could Ning Que see a whole ocean?
Still, standing beneath Peach Mountain, he could really see a whole ocean.
”I think I am the ocean.”
Ning Que spoke to himself.
In the years since he gained the abilities of cultivation, he had returned to mull over his conversation with Lu Qingchen many times. Only this year did he realize that it was all because of Sangsang's destiny.
While he dreamt, he had always been hugging Sangsang.
Having Haotian in his arms, was it really such a big deal to perceive all of humanity?
Coming to Peach Mountain, enduring the Tianqi and having the Haotian energy course into his body, he once again drew on the connection between him and Sang Sang, almost like enveloping her in his embrace once again.
Why wouldn't he be able to perceive this ocean of humanity?
Could it be that what he wanted to shoot was a bright spot in this ocean?
Was it the Xuankong Temple's Chief Monk of Scripture, the Drunkard, or the Butcher?
Nobody knew.
...
...
Standing before Peach Mountain, Ning Que could perceive the whole world.
At this moment, the whole world had already perceived him.
It was because of the huge burst of Tianqi.
At the border of Song and Yan, the fragrance of wine wafted delicately through the air in the calligraphy shop. Only a bowl of water sat on the table in front of Eldest Brother, but his spirits were as high as if he were savoring a fine wine.
It was because he now knew that his Little Brother had survived.
The drunkard's voice was uncharacteristically hoarse. ”How could Haotian's Divine Power enter a normal person's body?”
Eldest Brother replied, ”You can't apply logic to my Little Brother.”
The Drunkard's brows furrowed in a flash. Although there was no wind, the flask at his hip seemed to float parallel to the ground. His clothes morphed and became faint, almost as if he could disappear at any moment.
He was not certain that Ning Que was aiming at him from Peach Mountain, but he felt like he was in danger.
Eldest Brother said, ”You're not his target. You're too quick.”
Thinking back to their previous conversation, the Drunkard's expression grew cold in fear. ”You were right before…the Butcher is very slow.”
