Chapter 596 The Village of Nothingness (2/2)

The Lady Mother of the Chariot remained in silence for a long time. Finally, she closed her eyes and said softly, ”Alright.”

The spacious Bi You Palace seemed extremely secluded and quiet at this moment. But it seemed like countless of shadows of spirits could be vaguely seen. In the end, the surrounding was filled with deep lament which was almost never-ending.

...…...

Shen Lian realized the various types of essences of Taixu Strategy already completely vanished together with the disappearance of Taixu Divine Qi, hence, there were no more Five Elements of Yin and Yang. The condition of Taiyi was indescribable. In a flash of light, 'he' arrived at an unclear place. His mind and spirits seemed to be assimilating into the vast void. There was no source of light here, and there was no shape, and hence, he could not mention the name of this place. If one were to forcefully say a name, this place should be named 'The Immortal's World'.

Why was this place known as 'The Immortal's World'? Because once one had come to this place, one's heart and soul would seem to have found their homes. One would have really gotten rid of every restriction and at that instance, you could not differentiate that place with eternity. Moreover, this place could be eternally huge but it could also be considered as eternally small.

It seemed like everything that he had witnessed in the mortal world became meaningless at this place. The only meaningful thing was ”him”. He seemed to be the only specialty at this place.

The 'he' who was profound with Daoism and Buddhism scriptures had come to a quick realization about the place he was at. In some of the undisclosed scriptures, it was mentioned that in the space-time of the entire galaxy, there was a hidden place which was known as the 'Formless Mass Before Creation' in some of the scriptures. Zhuangzi named that place as 'The Village of Nothingness'. There were also some sages who named the place as 'Taixu' or 'the void'. Those who could entrust their spirituality at this place were the ones who had achieved significant accomplishments. There were even some who named this stage as detachment from the origins.

However, this was not a type of state. Just like a frog living at the bottom of the well. A frog is still a frog after getting out of the well but whatever it witnessed and wherever it definitely became different.

It was not necessary that he was considered to have already reached the State of Taiyi after being at this stage. However, if one was at the State of Taiyi, he could definitely entrust his spirituality at this place. Of course, there was also those at the State of Taiyi who chose not to entrust their spirituality here but all in all, the State of Taiyi definitely had the ability to do so.

It was said that The Three Pristine Daoist Masters had opened up the other side of Heaven which comprised thirty-three heavens at this place. There was also a myth about Amitabha opening up the Western Paradise and Buddha opening up the Vulture Peak at this place.

It was said that these supremely-detached people established these places just to guide and lead the deities with profound innate characters to the other side of Heaven, the Western Paradise and the Vulture Peak so that they would not face any more catastrophe.

Ever since Shen Lian started cultivating, he did not see anyone who could really reach the other side of Heaven, the Western Paradise or the Vulture Peak. Even the Qing Xuan star who had cultivated up to the state of heavenly immortals only transcended beyond the mortal world. To be frank, that was traversing the galaxy and searching for a breakthrough opportunity in the universe.

Although Shen Lian arrived at this place, he seemed to not feel the other side of Heaven, Western Paradise or the Vulture Peak. Maybe that was just a legend after all or that these places had already disappeared, just like how the two generations of Heaven Courtyard had collapsed, or even because there were some reasons which he failed to realize.

All these were not important to him. Shen Lian had also deeply understood that there was really nothing much to gain at this place because this place had nothing initially. Hence, if there was nothing, what could be gain from here? However, Shen Lian also understood that this was the safest place to be at. As long as nobody stripped his spirituality from here, it would almost be impossible for him to perish.

However, his thoughts could not stay here forever. Otherwise, it would be diluted by the surrounding non-existence and assimilated together.

Hence, he had a sudden thought and arrived at the Netherworld.

A new yet strange feeling sprung up involuntarily.
