Chapter 1166. The Lie of Heaven (2/2)

Li Qianmei was still frowning on the side and still thinking. She couldn’t see through Wang Lin. When she heard Lu Yuncong’s words, she softly said, “Qianmei has asked a lot of fellow cultivators this question, but Elder Brother Lu gave the most convincing answer. Why did Dao Brother laugh? Is there something wrong with Qianmei’s question?”

Wang Lin looked at Li Qianmei, and after a long time, he calmly said, “Is there a heaven?”

After he spoke, Li Qianmei was startled in place. She had asked many people, but none of them had responded like this. Even Lu Yuncong’s pupils shrank, and he subconsciously looked up at the sky.

Lu Yuncong coldly snorted. “What nonsense. Heaven is all around us. What kind of nonsense is asking if there is a heaven!”

Li Qianmei pondered for a bit and softly said, “Where is there no heaven?”

Wang Lin didn’t speak but raised his right hand and waved. A breeze blew through the courtyard and a circle appeared on the ground around Li Qianmei and Lu Yuncong. It was as if someone had drawn a circle around them with a stick.

“This is the circle is the heaven both of you think exist. Because you believe that there is a heaven, the heavens exist. You regard yourselves as ants that struggle to break out from the heavens, which is your cage. This is your belief and your faith. However, even if you walk out from the circle, what’s the use?”

Wang Lin shook his head and waved his right hand, then another circle formed around the circle from before.

“Once you come out, there will still be another heaven, and the cycle of karma continues without end until… The heaven in your heart is erased by the heavens, and this is the lie of the heavens! I was thinking about this hundreds of years ago. So why must there be a heaven?”

After Wang Lin finished speaking, he calmly sat there and no longer spoke.

Lu Yuncong’s body trembled violently, as if someone had hit his head with a bat. His ears buzzed as if countless bolts of thunder had exploded in his mind, and he subconsciously took a few steps back. He stepped out of the first circle but was still in the second. He stared at the two circles as Wang Lin’s voice echoed in his mind.

“Lie of the heavens…”

His face gradually grew pale and his mind became chaotic. The dao he had cultivated all his life began to crack. He wanted to refute the words of the man in white, but he was powerless.

The two circles outside his body seemed to expand forever and eventually became the heaven in his heart, a cage. He spent all his effort to get out of the first cage only to find that he was in another one...

This strange feeling made his face pale, and blood came out from the corner of his mouth. He revealed a self-deprecating smile.

Li Qianmei slowly closed her eyes, and her mind trembled. Wang Lin’s words were like a rune that danced in her mind and was gradually engraved into her heart.

She originally thought that the confusion in her dao was like the clouds. No one she had asked along the way could lift it, only Lu Yuncong’s words were like lightning that made the clouds dissipate a bit.

However, at this moment, she understood that Lu Yuncong’s understanding of dao was simply ridiculous! He had fallen into the lie of heavens and was unable to pull himself out.

Wang Lin’s voice was like a storm. It turned into two invisible hands and swept away all the confusion and clouds in her mind, revealing the blue sky!

Her eyelashes trembled lightly as Li Qianmei opened her eyes. She looked at Wang Lin for a long time and admiration appeared in her eyes.

Li Qianmei bowed and softly said, “Can Dao Brother tell me your name?”

“Lu Zihao.” Wang Lin’s voice was still calm without the slightest fluctuation.

“Brother Lu’s answer has enlightened Qianmei. Qianmei would like to ask the second question. I hope Brother Lu can clear Qianmei’s doubts…” Li Qianmei looked at Wang Lin with bright eyes.

“For the first question, I want one of the highest quality pills you have!” Wang Lin looked at Li Qianmei.

Li Qianmei blinked and revealed a smile. Her little girl smile was very alluring, but at this moment, Lu Yuncong was bitterly thinking, so he didn’t see it. Wang Lin saw it, but he was indifferent.

“Bother Lu has miscalculated. Most of the pills on Qianmei are half-complete and need to be refined back at the sect. The highest I have is only rank 10, and it isn’t a Soul Parting Death Pill, but a healing pill. Since Brother Lu asked for it, I’ll give it to you.” After Li Qianmei spoke, her right hand reached at the void and a crack to her storage space appeared. A pill flew out into Wang Lin’s hands.

Wang Lin frowned as he accepted the pill and put it away after looking at it.

“Qianmei’s second question: what is heaven?” Li Qianmei’s eyes were very bright. Her heart pounded as she waited for Wang Lin’s answer.

She had never felt this kind of feeling before. Even when Lu Yuncong was answering, although she was looking forward to it, there wasn’t this level of expectation.

After hearing Li Qianmei’s second question, Wang Lin raised his head to look at the blue sky. There was a hint of melancholy on his face as he softly said, “The first question was asking about the limit of dao. The second is asking about the will of the heavens…”

After he spoke, Li Qianmei’s eyes became even brighter and fixated on Wang Lin. He was the first person she had met that was able to guess the different meaning behind the two same questions!

Lu Yuncong took a deep breath and suppressed the chaos in his mind. After hearing Wang Lin’s words, he was startled, but he understood why he wasn’t qualified to answer the third question even though he felt that his answer was perfect.
