Chapter 449 The Beginning of Time
Humans have many illusions about time.
Time travel, going back to the past, parallel worlds, etc.
This idea also exists in the spiritual practice world, and countless strong people have put it into action. But often there is no clue at all, because time is invisible and years are everywhere.
It is not the River of Forgetfulness, it actually exists in a certain space.
Qiu Wuji looked up, and what he felt was not a space that had become a substance. What he sees and hears cannot be seen with the naked eye or perceived with the soul. He can only observe it all with his own Tao.
In other words, if you cannot reach the realm of the Holy King, you will be standing here in total darkness and cannot see anything.
But there is a high probability that it will be squashed by the endless years.
Just like a black hole in the mouth of mortals.
The place where the law is located is a more terrifying place than a black hole.
“That’s where time is now.”
Panhu points to the end of the long river of time, where the colors are extremely vivid, and you can overlook the world through the years.
“Time is an imaginary number, it is used to calculate years. And years are the existence of living things in the world, including you and me. As long as you stop this rushing river of time, the whole world will stand still.”
impossible.
Qiu Wuji made his judgment almost without any hesitation.
They had a real feeling before. When he saw this long river composed of the laws of time, he finally understood why no one in the past and present could turn back time.
Time is a river that cannot be turned back. The past years are a foregone conclusion, and time at this moment is still moving forward. To stop the river would be to bear the weight of the entire world.
Let alone mortals, a strong man like Li Changsheng would be unable to bear the consequences.
Perhaps if he reaches out to block it, others will react and cut off his hand after a long time. In other words, he needs to be enemies with all the powerful people in the world at the same time, and only by defeating them can he stop the time of the world.
The focus is on the strong ones in heaven and earth.
If I was the only one in heaven and earth who practiced cultivation, I could still bear the weight of a mortal. In today’s era, there are four people on the formless bright surface. How can I bear such a weight?
The stagnation time of building a dam can be achieved, so that the water in the river can be turned back and no one can do it.
Qiu Wuji just shook his head gently twice.
Panhu continued to walk forward with them. It was said that they were walking, but in fact they were shuttled back and forth in an irregular manner. The long river of time has no substantial space, so it naturally does not distinguish between up, down, left and right.
They are passing through the past years.
The way to pass through these years is to spend the same time, or to be precise, to go backwards and exit the same time.
Qiu Wuji asked: "So we need to go back more than ten years? Or even 20 years?"
Official records of extraordinary phenomena appeared 10 years ago. At that time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was so thin that it could not even be born during the Qi Refining Period, and many people were dormant.
Qiu Wuji is among the earliest batch, and his memory is from 14 years ago.
“It will take more than ten years according to normal procedures.” Panhu shook his head, and the answer he gave later shocked the two of them.
“It would take us hundreds of billions of years or more than a dozen epochs to pass through the time of all human beings. The weight of time is beyond the reach of human beings, which is why most of those who peer into the long river of time are dead.”
"But don't worry, I have my own way. If it really takes so long, I won't bring you to waste your efforts."
Countless powerful people in the spiritual world have never stopped exploring time, just like humans exploring the universe. Some old and strong men have imagined countless times that if they could do it again, they might become enlightened.
Of course there are those who took action, but they all died in the end.
Because they are trapped in endless time and cannot extricate themselves. The lifespan and weight of a holy king can support him at most in exploring the memories of the world for a hundred years.
The river of time is like a scale, and everyone has their weight marked on it.
Time in this era is the most important, hundreds of times heavier than in previous lives.
Fortunately, it was also very short, only lasting more than ten years.
He can quickly reach the end of time by accelerating his own time. When looking at the passing years, their weight and cause and effect are countless times less than stopping time.
The difference between overcoming the odds and turning the pages of a book.
A ray of dim light emanated from Panhu's eyes, and then the aura on his body became similar to the long river of time. He stepped into the long river of time with one foot, and the "river" washed him, and decades passed in just a moment. Disappeared.
Time acceleration, a time acceleration that cannot be used.
If the Suiyuisha could give Qiu Wuji reaction time before, then the acceleration here means that there is no reaction time at all.
Qiu Wuji also stepped into it, just a little bit of movement, and the magic power was like a rocket.
If mana is compared to a vehicle and meridians are compared to principles, the vehicle after time acceleration is equivalent to super-light speed. And sometimes it's fast, sometimes it's slow, it can even go backwards.
Yun Gong is like directing traffic. If the vehicle is like a rocket when it is fast, like a snail when it is slow, and sometimes goes backwards, then the entire traffic system will be in chaos.
“Time is the memory of heaven and earth. It records the past of all beings in heaven and earth. Have you seen those whirlpools?”
Panhu raised his hand and pointed in a certain direction. They looked along and saw whirlpools.
“Those are the traces left by the strong in their years, which are the turning points of history. The greater the impact on the world, the greater the whirlpool.”
Qiu Wuji saw an extremely huge whirlpool that almost occupied the entire length of time. In other words, during this time period, the influence of one person enveloped the entire history.
Comparatively speaking, other vortices are more than ten times smaller than him.
Panhu took them into a huge whirlpool. In his words, traveling through the past time, these whirlpools were unavoidable.
The whirlpool in front of us almost blocked the entire "river channel".
In human terms, it is a major historical turning point.
The scene suddenly changes.
Qiu Wuji saw an ordinary young man, holding Fengdu high and determined the good of all living beings in the world.
It is the reincarnation of the previous period.
The three of them just glanced at each other and then left quickly.
The inner layer of the vortex is also reincarnation.
Qiu Wuji saw the fate of the previous generation, and saw that the other party had pulled many powerful people from Huangquan into the general trend of heaven and earth with just a few words.
Subsequently a conflict occurred with Shenzhou, which was eventually quelled by Li Changsheng.
From this, Qiu Wuji sees the general trend of the world more clearly, not because he wants to kill Li Changsheng on the surface, but to promote the recovery of reincarnation. No matter what the final result is, whether Dao Zun wins or Li Changsheng is better, it will ultimately promote the recovery of reincarnation.
Tao Zun may not have wanted to win from the beginning, he just wanted to be reincarnated.
But no one expected that Li Changsheng would establish reincarnation again, and he would succeed in the end.
This also caused a lot of fear without form.
Continue to move forward and leave the center of the whirlpool.
It is the Dragon Palace, the ancestral dragon.
Another formless person.
“Ancestral dragon, an existence older than Tao Zun. It is said that water complements the five elements of heaven and earth and is the pillar of heaven and earth in the true sense.”
Qiu Wuji looked up at the dim memories of the years and couldn't help but sigh.
“I wonder if it can compete with Li Changsheng during the period of complete victory.”
Panhu and Dayu Yansheng looked strange.
The Dragon Palace appeared not long ago, about half a year ago. For an environment where many areas of heaven and earth have been opened for the first time, whether it is long or short, it is not surprising that several caves, heavens and paradises will appear in succession tomorrow.
At first they all thought that another Wuxiang had entered the scene, until Li Changsheng went to the Dragon Palace.
The dragon-shaped phantom shrouded the world. It roared and exuded hostility towards the Taoist, and was then slapped into silence.
“Noisy.”
“Yinyinyin…”
Accompanied by a low dragon roar, the shadow of the ancestral dragon surrounding the Dragon Palace became completely silent.
Autumn Wuji is speechless.
It turns out that he really beat Wu Xiang.
"The state of the ancestral dragon is somewhat special. Although some of the laws have been revived, it came with the Dragon Palace. It itself has not been revived. This is only a part of the ancestral dragon, a very small part."
Panhu coughed, as if to regain his position, or to express his views from his own perspective.
“If Zulong fully recovers and has self-awareness, he should not be much worse than Li Changsheng.”
And what he said was indeed recognized by the other two people.
Because Zulong has indeed not recovered, he does not even have self-awareness, and he may not ever do so in the future.
Phaseless can be roughly divided into two types, one is those like them who still retain their physical bodies, and the other is completely integrated into the heaven and earth and incarnates into the law.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both. According to the common view of most living beings, the former is truly alive. The latter has lost his true self, but lives with heaven and earth and coexists with all things.
Qiu Wuji suddenly asked: "Is the way of incarnation of heaven and earth definitely stronger than the way of dojo?"
"That's natural." Dayu Yansheng nodded and said: "For example, if I incarnate into heaven and earth, then I will represent every inch of space in this world, and the place where you stand is my body."
“But this will inevitably lead to losing one’s self, and it will be more difficult. Not everyone can incarnate into heaven and earth and manifest the truth to all heavens.”
Incarnation of heaven and earth, manifesting the way to all heavens.
Qiu Wuji silently memorized this sentence, and Dayu Yansheng seemed to see through his thoughts and continued: "Your swordsmanship is quite suitable, single and pure. But we are all in space and time, involving many causes and effects, and it is difficult to transform into heaven and earth."
"I haven't even visited Wu Xiang, but I was just wondering whether Li Changsheng belongs to this category. I heard that he has three thousand magical powers and is proficient in all kinds of immortal ways."
Qiu Wuji’s words made Dayu Yansheng and Panhu’s eyes change slightly, and all the thoughts that emerged in their minds finally converged into a question.
Is Li Changsheng so powerful because he transformed into heaven and earth?
Otherwise, the power shown by the other party has already exceeded Wu Xiang by far.
“Only he himself knows this.”
Panhu was the first to interrupt his thinking and continued to move forward, passing through more years.
Two people with different laws of time can only follow each other's footsteps, going against the river without feeling any resistance.
He is like an icebreaker, breaking through the heaviness of time.
Leaving the largest vortex, he immediately fell into another vortex.
It was also Li Changsheng's, but this time the other party only killed a holy king and did not care about the big action of reincarnation, so the three of them left the turning point of history in an instant.
Moving forward, the historical whirlpool caused by Li Changsheng disappears and becomes other people's.
Three years ago, Li Changsheng was not yet born.
Five years ago, the Sword Immortal surveyed China and swept all enemies with an invincible appearance.
Seven years ago, the flying generals were fighting in the north and south, and the minds of millions of soldiers were twisted into a rope to quell the chaos in Shenzhou.
The two of them, one at the supernatural level and the other at the real military level, calmed down the chaos at the beginning of the world.
The beginning of this chaos originated from Qiu Wuji.
“I started the troubled times.”
Qiu Wuji looked at himself in the years, facing the entire human army alone, with artillery fire and cold sword light.
At last a big sun set and he was hit hard. The second big sun set, and he completely lost his life.
This was just a personal conflict between him and the government. During this period, he never sought help from anyone or formed an alliance with anyone.
Because Qiu Wuji drew his sword, he must cut off the government.
But he made many reincarnations see the weaknesses of the government.
Ten years ago, Qiu Wuji had a conflict with the government and was eventually killed by two nuclear bombs.
With the prestige of the government soaring, the reincarnations who had been ready to take action began to hibernate again, but this was just the calm before the storm.
Because in this conflict, the advantages and disadvantages of various human weapons, mainly firearms, were fully exposed.
What followed was a conflict that lasted for several years.
Qiu Wuji and others were not interested in this conflict, and they continued to move forward.
Twelve years ago, the biggest turning point in history was a Taoist priest with a handsome face.
Taoist Qingxuan, whose cultivation is not as good as that of a saint, but the whirlpool he created is already half of Li Changsheng's reincarnation.
In the dim yellow scene, Taoist Qingxuan and a mortal prime minister were sitting together. Both parties signed an agreement, establishing the cooperation between Immortal Dao and Shenzhou.
Establishment of the town-state system.
In the next ten years, China will establish a firm foothold in the beginning of the world around this system. Paying attention to the fact that there are no civilizations or countries outside the land of China, they still stand in the world.
Thirteen years ago, the whirlpool was Panhu and a woman with lotus feet.
Our Lady of White Lotus.
The three of them stopped at the same time and looked at the woman.
Dayu Yansheng asked: "Given the aura environment and cultivation level at that time, she was able to win over hundreds of millions of people whose faith had not yet been exhausted by the poison of incense. This woman is not simple."
“Do you know her heels?”
He turned to look at Panhu.
"I don't know." Panhu shook his head and said, "Not all Wuxiang are powerful in the world, and their names are passed down through the ages. Just like you and me, the most famous ones are our true bodies."
The universe and the universe are their roots. They are always placed among the innate beings and are an unparalleled origin.
One is born to master space, and the other is born to master time.
"But there is one thing that makes me a little concerned. This White Lotus Virgin used the Heavenly Dao fragment to capture a Daoyun that Li Changsheng lived in heaven and earth. After that, there was no news again."
“Maybe she knows something.”
"You can look for her later. If she was thrown into the void, it shouldn't be difficult to dig it out."
They moved on.
Fourteen years ago, the long river of history suddenly became extremely smooth, with no more whirlpools.
Because everyone was hibernating at that time, and the environment of heaven and earth could not even support the Qi training period.
Dayu Yansheng saw Qiu Wuji and Panhu. One of them was working as a professor and the other was a delivery boy.
They all live an ordinary life.
In the fifteenth year, the reincarnation has not yet occurred, the laws have not been revealed, and everything has returned to nothingness.
Buzz!
There was a buzzing in the ears. This time they didn't move forward, but were sucked in.
The end of the long river of time.
The three of them were a little excited. They couldn't help but guess that the starting point of this long river of time was a special blessed place, something, or a calamity.
It is still the new heaven and earth that heaven and earth find in order to complete themselves.
And why are they reincarnated?
All this will be revealed soon.
Qiu Wuji felt a sense of substance similar to space, and then his five senses came back. The first was the sense of smell, and the smell of disinfectant hit his nostrils.
There was an unexplained noise in my ears.
Opening my eyes, I saw a dozen men and women surrounding a man in the corridor of the hospital.
He was wearing a simple plaid shirt, his shoes were a little worn, and his face looked a little upright.
“...Xingguo, look away, you are not old now, you can have another child.”
“Yes, we are all ordinary people, how can we support a vegetative person?”
“Let’s have another one.”
Qiu Wuji was groping for the memory of his reincarnated body. The scene in front of him was like what was shown in a TV series about ordinary people. Ordinary people could not afford the high medical expenses of their families.
The middle-aged man shook his head and just kept shaking his head. He sat on a bench in the hospital corridor until all his relatives left.
“You can go in.”
The doctor and nurse walked out of the ward. The middle-aged man's dim eyes ignited with a glimmer of hope and asked: "Doctor, my son."
Before he could finish speaking, the doctor shook his head in reply.
The fire in the middle-aged man's eyes disappeared and he stepped into the ward.
A teenager was lying on a hospital bed with a ventilator and his eyes closed.
Qiu Wuji and the other three could no longer remain calm at this moment. They recognized the thin young man on the hospital bed. Although the face is a little childish, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
He is Li Changsheng, the reincarnation of Li Changsheng.
The middle-aged man sat next to the hospital bed, holding the boy's right hand with both hands, with a hint of determination on his haggard face.
He is just an ordinary junior high school teacher, with an ordinary family, ordinary background, and ordinary appearance...but he has an excellent son.
This is his lifelong pride.
"Son, dad will wait for you to wake up. No matter how many years it takes, you must wake up."
The boy's hand trembled slightly, very slightly, maybe it was just a reflex of the nerves.
But the long river of time passed by, and the world seemed to come alive in the moment when the young man's fingers shook.
Time begins with a young man, and seems to begin with his ordinary father.
