Chapter 204 - 204 201 Yin Yang Mixed Hole The Origin of the World
Chapter 204: Chapter 201 Yin Yang Mixed Hole The Origin of the World Chapter 204: Chapter 201 Yin Yang Mixed Hole The Origin of the World Ning Wuxu said, “Now that you’ve entered the Inner Sect, you are bound to learn about these matters eventually.
I’m telling you this to broaden your horizons.
Do not assume that the skies of the Southern Domain encompass all there is.
You must understand that the Void Ten Thousand Worlds are boundlessly vast.
Only by cultivating a more expansive heart can one possibly attain higher realms of cultivation.
If you lack ambition and are content to lead a mediocre life, that’s one thing.
But if you desire to pursue the path of Longevity Dao, you will inevitably come into contact with these things.”
After a moment of silence, Qin Feng suddenly asked, “Master, how can the depleted foundation of the world be restored?”
“Oh?”
Ning Wuxu gave him a surprised glance and chuckled, “These issues are too distant for you; even I am not capable of addressing them.
…
However, since you asked, I shall give you a brief explanation.
Do you remember the incident involving the Demon God Stone Statue from the Foreign Realm that you brought back last time?”
Qin Feng nodded, “Disciple remembers.”
“Have you heard anyone mention that our Sect plans to attack the world where the Demon God who dared to spread its faith in our realm belongs?”
“Disciple has heard Peak Master Liu…cough, Senior Sister Liu, mention this matter before.”
“Hmph, that girl really dares to say anything.”
Ning Wuxu snorted, then went on, “Well, you’re going to find out about these things sooner or later anyway.
The reason why the Sect wants to launch an inter-realm war is that we need more resources to cultivate our disciples, more battles to enhance experience, and more adversaries to hone ourselves.
While Taiyi Mountain and the Giant Spirit Sect are antagonistic towards us, the War God Palace above has forbidden us to initiate wars that would annihilate a sect or even allow large-scale sectarian warfare to break out, so if we want to find opponents to temper our disciples, we must look outward.
Fortunately, after tens of thousands of years of recuperation, our Biluo Great World has recovered a fair amount of its primordial qi.
Now that the pattern of the Land of Five Domains has stabilized, the only way forward is external expansion, employing the same tactics those realms used against us during the Ancient Great Tribulation.
We need to conquer other worlds to acquire their resources, plunder from otherworlds to replenish what our own world has lost, and enhance our world’s foundation.
Only by doing so can the Human Clan birth more unparalleled great beings.”
“Master, what exactly does ‘world foundation’ mean?”
Qin Feng looked puzzled, “Does it mean that merely bringing some resources back from the outside can strengthen the world’s foundation?”
Ning Wuxu glanced at him in surprise, not expecting his newly taken disciple to see through to the nature of the matter and ask such a question.
“Do you know how a world is born?”
Qin Feng honestly shook his head, “Disciple does not know.”
“It’s said that in the deepest parts of the Endless Universe, at the place of origin, the Yin Yang Mixed Hole exists, co-dependent upon each other; the yang hole devours all that is in the Void, and the yin hole nurtures the Void Giant Beasts.
One intakes, the other outputs, maintaining the balance of the universe.
These Void Giant Beasts, born from the Yin Yang Mixed Hole, wander through the Cosmic Void, swallowing all tangible matter and even each other, all for the chance to one day transform from the Void to reality and evolve into complete worlds.
This is how worlds come into being.
Of course, the actual number of worlds that evolve into habitats capable of fostering life is exceedingly small.
The vast majority of Void Giant Beasts wander for countless years, and when their lifespan ends, they can only evolve into lifeless stars.
Only an exceedingly small number might evolve into complete worlds, giving birth to various rules and unique forms of life.
For the Void Giant Beasts, transforming from the Void into reality and evolving into worlds is their mission and their only chance for the essence of their consciousness to persist.
Once they evolve their bodies into complete worlds, their consciousness then dwells within the rules, becoming the Heavenly Dao of a world.”
Qin Feng was completely stunned.
After a while, he swallowed hard and stuttered, “You mean to say, Master, that every star in the sky, every world in the cosmic void, evolved from Void Giant Beasts?
Are we living on the body of an enormous Void Giant Beast?”
“In some respects, you could say that,” Ning Wuxu replied with a faint smile.
“Actually, we members of the Human Clan aren’t naturally evolved lifeforms of the Biluo Great World.
Legend says that before this land took form, there were Great Powers from the Human Clan Ancestor Realm who traveled the Cosmic Void and happened upon two massive Void Giant Beasts locked in a struggle to devour one another in preparation for their final transformation into reality.
One of those Great Powers struck a bargain with the losing giant beast: if it agreed to let the Human Clan dominate this world once its transformation was complete, he would help it triumph.
The Void Giant Beast then devoured its rival with the Great Power’s assistance and completed its final evolution, which gave birth to our present-day Biluo Great World.
That Great Power also moved a portion of the Human Clan from the Ancestor Realm to the Biluo Great World, allowing them to live and prosper here, using the resources of a newly born great world to support our clan’s cultivation.
Rumor has it that when the world was first formed, treasures were abundant and there remained a great deal of Innate Spiritual Energy, which, in less than a hundred thousand years, allowed the Human Clan to produce so many ancient powerhouses.
Without this, the Biluo Great World would not have been able to withstand the invasion of many worlds during the Ancient Great Tribulation.
The reality is, the reason those realms invaded in the first place was that they coveted the countless resources of our newly born Biluo Great World.
To restore the origin of the Biluo Great World, we must use the same method to plunder the origins of other worlds.
As for what the origin is, you can think of it as the core of a world, or you can see it as the physical manifestation of its rules.”
Ning Wuxu’s revelation of one secret after another left Qin Feng’s mind reeling like a turbulent sea.
He truly had not expected that the Void and its myriad stars were born in such a manner.
Seeing how Qin Feng’s spirit was unsettled, Ning Wuxu couldn’t help but smile slightly, “What, are you frightened?”
“A little.”
“Hehe, that’s normal.
Most people would find these matters somewhat unbelievable.
When I first joined the Inner Sect, there was a Senior Brother who even worried about whether the world under our feet might one day come back to life and swallow us whole, hahaha…”
Qin Feng looked at his master with a somewhat strange expression.
Was it really a Senior Brother from the sect?
Or could it be none other than Master himself?
Otherwise, since everyone goes their separate ways with their own masters after becoming disciples, how could it be such a coincidence that someone else’s master was telling these stories just in time for you to overhear them?
Ning Wuxu immediately noticed the odd look in his eyes and glared at him irritably, “Don’t let your thoughts wander.
It really was that Senior Sect Brother who later told me.”
“Oh.”
Qin Feng nodded his head, appearing very obedient.
If Master said not to ponder over it unnecessarily, then he shouldn’t.
Otherwise, wouldn’t he be asking for a scolding and making things unpleasant for himself?
As the master and disciple were talking, they had also returned to Heavenly Snake Ridge.
“Master.”
Zhao Qiankun and Hao Shicheng knew that today was their junior brother’s initiation day, so they stayed on Heavenly Snake Ridge and did not go out.
“Mm.”
Ning Wuxu nodded slightly and said to them, “This is your junior brother.
Take good care of him in the future and make sure no one bullies him.”
Qin Feng stepped forward and bowed, “Junior brother Qin Feng, greeting the two Senior Brothers.”
Hao Shicheng said in a carefree manner, “Junior brother, there’s no need for such formalities.
Rest assured, with us here, we definitely won’t let anyone bully you.”
“You?
Better forget it.”
Zhao Qiankun quipped, “I’ve heard that Junior Brother has a grudge against Jiang Dongliu from Taiyi Mountain Punishment Sword Hall.
If Jiang Dongliu comes looking for trouble, what could you, a Golden Core Realm cultivator, possibly do to help?”
Hearing this, Hao Shicheng immediately looked dejected, “I also want to advance to the Purple Mansion, but I’m blocked by a bottleneck and can’t break through.
What can I do?”
“If you put the energy you spend fiddling with those flowers and plants into your cultivation, maybe you would have advanced already.”
Zhao Qiankun said what he often said before, and without waiting for Hao Shicheng to retort, he turned to Qin Feng and said, “Junior brother, I’m your eldest Senior Brother Zhao Qiankun.
If you have any issues, feel free to come to me, I’ve got your back.”
Hearing this, Qin Feng quickly made a salute, “Thank you, Senior Brother.”
“Haha, no need for that.
We are disciples under the same master, closest within our sect and should support each other naturally.”
Zhao Qiankun laughed heartily, “As for Jiang Dongliu, you don’t need to worry about him.
Even if he knew where you were, he wouldn’t dare step onto the Beast Taming Sect’s territory.
If he did, he would surely not return alive.
I heard that his sister, Jiang Yinghong, once troubled you outside the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm.
Hmmph, speaking of which, that woman once escaped from me.
It’s one thing for her cultivation to have made no progress over the years, but to be so bold and reckless, she must be relying on her brother’s power.
Perhaps, I should find an opportunity to have a confrontation with Jiang Dongliu, and settle this grudge once and for all.”
Qin Feng listened and felt greatly thankful, “Thank you, Senior Brother, for looking out for me, but you need not take risks for my sake.”
“Hehe, little junior brother, you don’t understand.”
Zhao Qiankun waved it off, saying, “When I was younger, I had some grievances with those Jiang siblings and fought with them more than once.
I’m not seeking him out just for your sake.”
“I see.”
Qin Feng nodded, then asked with some concern, “I’m not afraid of Jiang Dongliu coming for revenge now that I’m within the sect.
If necessary, I could simply avoid leaving the mountain gate.
However, my Qin Family is far away in Chu Kingdom; they wouldn’t go after my family members, would they?”
“You can rest assured about that.
The Cultivation World has its own rules; they wouldn’t dare to act recklessly, or else they’d bring misfortune upon themselves.
The Jiang Family isn’t just Jiang Dongliu and Jiang Yinghong; they have many clan members and wouldn’t act rashly just over one daughter.
If they truly dared to break the rules, we would be justified in annihilating all their bloodline descendants and could even use this to launch a major attack on many cultivator families from Taiyi Mountain.
After all, it would be the cultivators of Taiyi Mountain who broke the rules first, and they wouldn’t have a leg to stand on even if things escalated.
Still, judging by Jiang Dongliu’s character, he isn’t bold enough to take such action.”
With this explanation, Qin Feng felt relieved.
He understood these principles, but he brought them up deliberately in front of his master so that the master would be aware of his concerns.
That way, even if Jiang Dongliu did harbor intentions of targeting his family in the future, the master wouldn’t ignore it.
PS: Today, I saw some readers discussing the possibility of Jiang Dongliu annihilating the Qin Family, so I adjusted this chapter.
I want to explain again that cultivators actually can’t commit murder arbitrarily; otherwise, it would be chaos.
Especially the higher-ups of major forces—they can’t act recklessly.
It’s just like how M country recently sent people to kill a general from I country, but they got retaliated against, right?
So the rules must be followed.
