Legend of the Great Sage (Web Novel) - Chapter 1673: Cultivation
Chapter 1673: Cultivation
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
In the small world, the sun and moon were like Fuxi and Nüwa, standing above all the other transformations, with only one another in their eyes.
The Divine Dragon Transformation and the Snake Demon Transformation did not represent ordinary dragons and snakes, but the dragon of Fuxi and the snake of Nüwa, which was also the sun and moon, yang and yin.
Yin and yang was the source of all transformations, the source of all laws.
Buddhism liked to talk about the idea of karma, the idea of actions and consequences, cause and effect. Yin and yang was the cause of everything.
As a result, none of the transformations were able to influence yin and yang, just like how people could not change the past.
Suddenly, Li Qingshan thought of the Taiji diagram. It was said the ancestor of daoism created it and it was extremely profound, but you could find it all over the streets in his past life.
Only now did he discover that the Dao was simple. It was not that profound. The answers to many questions had been laid out before his eyes a long time ago. He just never possessed the ability to interpret them.
At that moment, Li Qingshan’s mind was very clear. If he could grasp the Divine Dragon Transformation and the Snake Demon Transformation, then he would have grasped the crux of the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine. He could use them to influence the other transformations, which obviously included the Qilin Transformation.
As a result, Li Qingshan began to circulate the Divine Dragon Transformation and the Snake Demon Transformation simultaneously. The sun and moon in the small world immediately shone brightly.
But Li Qingshan then frowned. Just this isn’t enough!
He visualised the Taiji diagram for a little longer before he abruptly thought of something. He tried controlling the Divine Dragon Transformation according to the cultivation method of the Snake Demon Transformation and the Snake Demon Transformation according to the cultivation method of the Divine Dragon Transformation.
At that moment, it was as if he had pressed down a secret start button to a colossal and complicated machine.
Li QIngshan smiled. He had truly comprehended the cultivation methods of the Divine Dragon Transformation and the Snake Demon Transformation.
Yin and yang served as the cause of everything, but what if someone continued to ask what created yin and yang?
Yin served as the “cause” of yang and yang served as the “cause” of yin.
So this is the true meaning behind “mending heaven”. Empress Nüwa could not defeat Fuxi, but she could eliminate the “cause” of Fuxi’s existence, which was herself.
Beyond the Nine Heavens, Li Qingshan gazed up at the moon and prayed. Hopefully, all the humans in the world will know of your grace one day. Hopefully, I can awaken you through my own powers, yeah, under the circumstances of not disturbing him too! If I can ever be reborn, please bless me again! As my mother.
The moon hung beyond the Nine Heavens, operating quietly and shining silently like it had sensed nothing at all.
However, Li Qingshan felt strangely content after praying.
Afterwards, like a serious primary school student, he observed how the true sun and moon beyond the Nine Heavens operated as he deduced the pattern that the moon and sun in his small world followed.
Hmm?
Li Qingshan was rather surprised. Originally, he wanted to use the Divine Dragon Transformation and Snake Demon Transformation to restrain the Qilin Transformation, but as the sun and moon circulated, the sun began to rise and the moon began to sink. The small world seemed to enter a state akin to morning.
Under the morning light, the trees and grasses flourished. Not only did the Qilin Transformation face no restraint, but it became even stronger than before, overwhelming the other transformations even more viciously.
When the red sun turned white, entering the late morning, the small world basically seemed like it had sprung alive. Every single tree and grass grew wildly, spreading their branches and leaves, covering one another and entwining together, constantly growing taller like they were trying to swallow the sun. They occupied every bit of space and fought over every beam of sunlight wildly.
Under these circumstances, the other transformations basically could not exist at all apart from the Divine Dragon Transformation and the Snake Demon Transformation that were completely unaffected. They completely relied on Li Qingshan’s efforts to cling on barely. If this continued, probably even the small world would collapse.
Li Qingshan made up his mind and mobilised the Divine Dragon Transformation at full strength.
Immediately, the sun rose to its zenith and filled the world with light.
The sunlight scorched like fire and pierced like spears, reaching everywhere with its acuteness. The plants that grew wildly all wilted. Their vitality seemed to be exhausted too from all the growth, such that they could not recover without a good moment.
Li Qingshan smiled. Sure enough!
The Divine Dragon Transformation and the Snake Demon Transformation could influence all transformations. This influence was neutral in nature. It could be both beneficial and detrimental.
As the strongest transformation so far, the Qilin Transformation benefitted the most, which was why the plants grew so wildly. But on the other hand, it also suffered from the greatest detriment.
Yin emerged from the extremes of yang. At this moment, the lurking “snake demon” began to unfurl.
Noon lasted for a good while. The scorching sun left the canopy of the entire rainforest a wilted-yellow.
When the sun gradually sank into the west, turning into a red setting sun and sending the small world into dusk, the rainforest finally got the opportunity to catch its breath, dyeing the blanket of wilted-yellow back to green through its unending vitality.
A moon rose into the sky. The moonlight poured down like water, soaking the rainforest.
As the moon grew higher and higher, the moonlight grew colder and colder. The growth speed of the plants gradually slowed until they finally stopped.
Li Qingshan let out a sigh of relief. He also sensed the ox demon, tiger demon, spirit turtle… all let out a sigh of relief too.
This was the first time the plants in the small world had stopped growing since he became a god. To him right now, it was basically like a miracle.
After becoming a god, he had once used the Cycle of Life and Growth to smother a true god of the thunder department to death. Only when he became a victim of it as well did he truly understand the terrors of the move.
By now, he had already grasped the pattern under which the sun and moon operated.
In the blink of an eye, the moonlight faded away in the small world and morning arrived. Only then did the plants completely recover their vitality, beginning a new round of wild growth, wilting and recovery under the glow of the sun.
The sun and moon moved faster and faster, while the dense rainforest became a little sparser, exposing a small clearing and a small stream. But instead of calling that suppression, it was better described as following the laws of nature at an even deeper level.
However, not only did this process take a great toll on the mind, but it also took a great toll on his physical energy too.
The small world had only experienced a few dozen days and nights, yet all of Li Qingshan’s powers had basically been exhausted.
The path of cultivation did not just require comprehension, but also resources.
However, as the lord of the Demon domain, the boundless Demon domain served as his granary of resources.
The demonfolk worshipping the divine mountain saw wisps of colourful light gather towards the crater of the volcano. This was a manifestation of spiritual qi when it reached a critical density. The denser the spiritual qi, the brighter it became. It turned the sky full of dark clouds into a jade-green colour, transforming it into a sea of light.
The mighty, frosty volcano was originally all black, devoid of any life. However, as the spiritual qi gathered there, numerous plants emerged from the cracks in the rock. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a furry green mountain.
It was quite obvious that even if the volcano erupted another ten thousand times, it would not be able to completely end these tiny lives. As long as the great volcano experienced a lapse in its eruptions, they would continue to grow endlessly.
Confronted with such a miracle, the demonfolk all dropped to the ground. Flattered, they all shed tears of gratitude.
This was no longer just an answer to them from their god. It was basically their god smiling at them.
Since time immemorial, the demonic heavens had only ever demonstrated wickedness and brutality, madness and twistedness towards the demonfolk. Since when did it demonstrate such kindness?
Even the demonfolk that believed in Li Qingshan the most were only bold enough to pray for power and revenge and not kindness like this.
At that moment, even if Li Qingshan ordered them to attack the Demon Gods they originally worshipped, they would not hesitate at all.
