Chapter 1610. Origin of Void (1/2)
Looking at the bird flying off into the distance, Wang Lin withdrew his gaze and looked at the dead volcano for a long time. Then he turned around and slowly walked away.
On this day, it was June of the 19th year since he left Zhao and the 57th year since he had gotten drunk after just two cups of wine at that inn beside the road.
This year, Wang Lin was just short of 80.
Aside from the country of Hou Fen, there were still some other countries on this continent, but Wang Lin didn’t go. The country of Hou Fen would be the last place he visited.
Here in the mountain outside Li Muwan’s sect, there was a broken house. It was built an unknown amount of time ago and no one lived there anymore.
Wang Lin started living here.
From this position, he could see the sect Li Muwan was in and feel her existence.
“What is karma? Don’t think, don’t ponder. Look at the sun rise and fall, see the rain and snow fall, see the seasons alternate. Don’t think about whether this is true or false, don’t think about the confusion between life and death. Just silently live the rest of your life…”
Whether it was sunrise or sunset on the horizon, there was always an old figure sitting on a rock, silently looking into the distant mountain.
“All karma in life is karmic cause as long as you say it is karmic cause, and it is karmic effect as long as you say it is karmic effect… Why bother to find a reason…”Wang Lin remained calm as he looked at the mountain ahead year after year.
He didn’t eat food, and there was no food. He had forgotten hunger, he had forgotten everything.
Wang Lin looked at the world and revealed an elusive smile. During these years, he saw many cultivators fly out of the sect, among them was Li Muwan.
“This world, this starry sky, all of these are formed by clusters of karma. This is karmic fate…”Wang Lin smiled as the days and years passed like a dream.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it had been seven years. During these seven years, Wang Lin learned a lot and comprehended the world.
During these seven years, Li Muwan’s sect had naturally found Wang Lin, and the elders of the sect slowly came to see him. They saw Wang Lin’s state and heard his occasional muttering. This shocked them.
At some point, Wang Lin was no longer the only one on this mountain. Soon, cultivators began to sit around him.
None of the cultivators that came left.
They calmly sat around Wang Lin as if they were seeking dao.
Year after year, even more cultivators came from Hou Fen, from all directions, from various sects to this place as if something was calling out to them in their hearts.
Among these cultivators, there were some that had not even reached the Foundation Establishment stage, some were at the Soul Transformation stage, and there was one who had stepped through the sky and reached the Ascendant stage. But no matter what cultivation level they were at, they didn’t exist to Wang Lin.
No matter what cultivation level, they only had to sit down on a spot in the mountain. There was no more and no less space, so there was no fighting over spots. They all silently sat there and listened to Wang Lin, who may only speak once a year.
When Wang Lin didn’t speak, they were cultivating. It was as if an invisible force that allowed their minds to pursue the world was present here.
“All the karmic fate gathers together and eventually becomes a karmic effect. This is karma. In the decades that I spent comprehending karma, I found that between karmic cause and karmic effect, there was something else, that is karmic fate.
If there is no karmic fate, there is no karma.”Wang Lin had a smile as he opened his mouth this year.
Even more cultivators sat on the mountain. Soon, there wasn’t even any space at the foot of the mountain. The dozens of kilometers around the mountain Wang Lin was on was filled with cultivators.
Almost all the cultivators on this continent slowly found their way here from a strange feeling over the years. The area within hundreds of kilometers of the mountain was covered in countless cultivators who were here to worship Wang Lin.
Some cultivators crossed the sea from another continent or came through transfer arrays. This included the Soul Refining Sect’s Dun Tian, Nian Tian, and a large amount of Soul Refining Sect disciples.
There was also the cultivators of Xue Yue. Under the lead of the cold woman, they had arrived due to that strange feeling. They sat down and silently seeked dao.
The cold woman was holding a baby girl that seemed like she would never grow up.
The four country alliance, Zhou Wutai, and all those faces Wang Lin was familiar with all arrived.
