575 True and False I
Last time, Lin Hui also encountered Karmic Fire that suddenly appeared here.
And this time, they encountered the unexpected appearance of the Heavenly Father.
The two remained deadlocked for a long time.
"Senior, do you still remember what happened before?" Lin Hui asked.
"I remember, but I'm not sure if it's been distorted," the Heavenly Father said calmly.
"Distortion? Even someone of your level, senior, could be distorted?" Lin Hui retorted.
"I am not a Celestial Being, and lacking the essence of a Celestial Being, I am bound to be distorted. It is unavoidable," the Heavenly Father replied.
He paused, then continued, "Actually, you should have just attacked me directly."
Lin Hui was speechless. If he weren't unsure of his chances of winning, he would have already made his move.
Just like the Karmic Fire last time.
The Heavenly Father and Karmic Fire are different. If there is any problem with the Heavenly Father's sealing power, one will be neither able to die nor live well.
Just like the many powerful beings who were sealed away back then.
The Heavenly Father Seal is extremely effective against all means of immortality.
Only now, facing the other party directly, did Lin Hui realize how difficult the situation was.
"I'm curious," he changed the subject, "How did you determine that you were someone who had been revived by the Heart Disaster?"
"Because of... the contradictions in memory. The present me, compared to the real me, has many contradictions in my memories. At my level, I'm already on the unchanging path of the Celestial Venerable, extremely vigilant about self-awareness," the Heavenly Father replied. "Actually, I can't be sure if I'm a product of a distorted Heart Disaster. But it doesn't matter. The present me no longer belongs to this era. There's no trace of my past self left. Whether I live or not, it doesn't really matter. Just consider me Heart Disaster."
To put it bluntly, even the Heavenly Father himself wasn't sure if he had Heart Disaster, but because he discovered that his memories were distorted, he suggested that Lin Hui consider himself to have Heart Disaster.
"Then why are you here, senior, blocking my way?" Lin Hui asked again after understanding this.
"I don't know," the Heavenly Father replied. "This is also one of the contradictions in my heart. I want to leave, but other emotions tell me that there's nowhere to go. So I've stayed. And only now, seeing you suddenly appear, do I realize that it was all a coincidence. And coincidence is the tactic that Heart Disaster love to use. I experienced the same thing back then."
Lin Hui was speechless, unsure of what to do.
He suddenly realized that this was the most disgusting aspect of the Heart Disaster.
Even if you realize that the other person might be Heart Disaster, you still can't take action or avoid it.
With that thought in mind, he simply got up and left.
We changed direction and headed back to the blue area.
But this time, even though he changed locations, the figure of the Heavenly Father still appeared before him.
Lin Hui and the Heavenly Father were both taken aback, as if the other party had just changed locations as well.
"You go, I won't move," the Heavenly Father said, frowning.
"Okay." Lin Hui left again, went to another location, and headed there once more.
This time, they finally didn't meet again, and Lin Hui felt inexplicably relieved.
Gazing at the pure blue expanse ahead, he composed himself, raised his hand, and his right little finger automatically severed off, flying out and shooting forward into the blue.
The little finger had barely left his body when it grew larger in the wind, transforming into his body with an indistinct face.
His face is blurred because he possesses the Eternal True Order Essence, and his main consciousness is unique and indivisible. Therefore, this blurriness will appear wherever the main consciousness is absent.
Controlling this Avatar, Lin Hui did not enter it entirely this time, but instead let the Avatar rush into that pure blue expanse.
Soon, the Avatar disappeared from view within the blue light.
Lin Hui quietly sat cross-legged in the air, his cultivation fully complete.
The changes in tense can be extended almost infinitely; the stronger one's cultivation, the longer the time that can be reversed, and the stronger the foundation laid for the future.
This wait lasted a year.
A year later, Lin Hui snapped out of his immersion in thought.
"It's time to start exploring this pure blue..." He raised his hand, and his right little finger detached again, transforming into a human shape and flying into the blue ahead.
The human form disappeared shortly afterward.
Lin Hui closed his eyes and began to meditate, waiting.
Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.
He awoke from his meditation once more.
"It's time to explore this unknown area..." He raised his right hand.
Suddenly, the movement stopped.
Lin Hui vaguely remembered that he seemed to have done something similar...
He stood up and gazed at the pure blue expanse ahead. Instead of continuing his attempt to explore further, he began to circle the blue expanse and fly at high speed.
Where it flies, it leaves behind countless amounts of Wind Energy that make up its body.
He was spreading out his body, stretching it out, and then covering as much area as possible.
He only stopped after a full month of preparation.
"It seems you've made a wise choice." The Heavenly Father appeared behind him without him even noticing.
"Why did you appear in front of me to block my way, but then never come back?" Lin Hui asked.
"I don't know..." Heavenly Father shook his head.
"If you're looking to collect the unchanging..." He paused, "That day, after I called you over, I went into the Forgotten Belt myself and saw a large piece of the unchanging object floating by. Perhaps that's the purpose of the Heart Disaster."
Lin Hui didn't know what to say.
"It seems that as long as I remain here, I will only be an obstacle to you. I intend to leave," said the Heavenly Father.
"I hope we'll meet again someday," Lin Hui said.
"Hope." The Heavenly Father's figure flashed and vanished completely.
Lin Hui remained silent for a while, then simply sat down cross-legged on the spot.
Since the Forgotten Belt inside is so dangerous, he doesn't plan to go in. Instead, he will use a net to intercept the constant matter drifting out from inside.
Since others can find the constant substance floating out of it, he can naturally do the same.
Moreover, it intercepts the virus directly at the source.
This time, he closed his eyes completely, shut down his senses, and his body dissipated, transforming into countless Wind Energy that vanished without a trace.
Time flows like water.
After an unknown amount of time, a black figure appeared in Lin Hui's area.
The figure was draped in a black cloak, shrouded in darkness, with no visible face, only a deep, Devil Incense emanating from him.
Gazing at the invisible Wind Energy around him, the figure paused blankly, looking around as if wondering why he was there.
"Lin Hui... There's a big problem at the Heart Source Demon Palace. You'd better go back and check it out."
He quickly recognized his surroundings and promptly transmitted his voice.
No one responded.
The figure repeated itself several times, but there was still no response.
He seemed to understand something, sighed, and vanished without a trace.
As time passed, tiny, constant particles of matter slowly drifted out of the Forgotten Belt.
And in this area, a familiar figure covered in blood appeared once again.
The figure was dressed in a white Daoist robe with wind marks, covered in light blue patterns, with three golden runes floating behind him.
It is precisely the Seven Extinctions.
"A-Hui, Clear Jade Mountain is in trouble! Return immediately!" Seven Extinctions looked around but couldn't find Lin Hui's location, so he hurriedly spread his voice.
Seeing no reaction from those around him, he spoke again.
"After you left, Clear Jade Mountain lost the protection of that powerful Wind Energy and is now suffering from various Source Disaster, resulting in heavy casualties. If we don't return soon, I'm afraid everyone will..."
There was still no response from the surroundings. Seven Extinctions sighed and used the Wind Chime to transmit his voice again. Still no response.
He sat there cross-legged again and waited for a full year, but still nothing happened.
He then sighed and left.
Lin Hui continued his secluded cultivation, dedicating a portion of his mind to intercepting the constant matter particles drifting out of the Forgotten Belt.
As time passed, he could sense that more and more people and sounds were appearing around him.
Sometimes someone actually comes. Sometimes it's just the sound of Wind Chime chime.
But he ignored everything and didn't intend to leave until he had collected enough constant matter.
There is Avatar on Clear Jade Mountain. As long as the Wind Energy of his body is still there, he is still there, and no one will dare to really attack Qingruo Mountain.
One by one, the constant matter was caught in the net set up by Lin Hui, and in the blink of an eye, five hundred years had passed.
In the Formless Belt white light, a pale blue figure rapidly converged, reshaping its body and transforming into a handsome man dressed in a white Daoist robe.
It was Lin Hui.
After five hundred years, they finally collected enough constant matter to reshape him into a human body.
He stretched out his hand, and in his palm floated a clump of bright silver mercury-like substance.
This was a constant substance he had never seen before; the Blood Seal was identified as Phantom Wind Silver Sand.
It is also incredibly tough, impossible to break down or tear apart.
Lin Hui flashed, quickly breaking free of the Formless Belt, crossing the Catastrophe Belt and the Heartless Belt, and rushing out of the Wind Disaster.
He glanced at the message inside the Wind Chime.
"Mountain Lord, we have suffered an unknown external attack and have no choice but to relocate the entire mountain gate to another area. This is the new location." This was Su Yaping's message.
Lin Hui frowned slightly, then darted and leaped at lightning speed, flying rapidly towards the new address.
Several tens of minutes later.
A desolate Clear Jade Mountain appeared within his perception range.
The once vast Clear Jade Mountain area is now surrounded by ruins and debris.
Some fragments of the world sphere, shattered into pieces, still drift slowly in the invisible void.
The Wind Energy that remained here has long been replaced by a more obscure Source Disaster Energy.
"Desolation Disaster!" Lin Hui immediately recognized the nature of this Disaster Energy.
With a gloomy expression, he swiftly teleported back to the core world sphere of Clear Jade Mountain.
Only one-third of the entire world sphere remains, floating in the void, filled with floating corpses.
Hundreds of millions of corpses, like insects trapped in amber, floated silently in the void.
The original Clear Jade Mountain courtyard.
Yun Xiazi knelt on one knee, her sword stuck in the ground beside her, her long hair hanging down, she was already lifeless.
Su Yaping's head lay rolled to one side, her eyes wide open, dying with her eyes still open.
Lin Hui's eyes grew increasingly cold as he stepped over the two corpses and entered the courtyard.
The interior was in complete disarray; even the Pear Tree in the center had been broken and collapsed.
Lin Hui paused for a moment, then his figure flashed, arriving at the adjacent Nine Heavens Gate.
The place was deserted; Seven Extinctions was gone, and neither was Black Elder. Only the empty shell of the sect's residence remained.
"Reverse it." Lin Hui stretched out his hand. His divine soul instantly covered Clear Jade Mountain and Nine Heavens Gate.
They started exerting force at the same time.
But nothing happened.
Only the purely destroyed buildings were quickly restored to their original state. But none of the people inside ever returned.
