Chapter 226: Finally Untainted
The bamboo forest is empty and the fallen leaves are everywhere.
Li Yuan walked step by step from the path, wearing a long blue robe and with a calm expression.
When the calamity is completely gone and the mind returns to a state of peace.
Li Yuan felt that the mundane world seemed somewhat distant from him.
That throbbing sensation also seemed so far away.
The shadows of the leaves swayed and made a loud noise.
Li Yuan strolled in the bamboo forest, seeming to have realized something.
"The wind moves, the leaves move, the heart moves, the catastrophe moves..."
He murmured, his eyes deep as the abyss.
“If you abandon your divinity, you will be in disaster.”
"If you abandon your human nature, you will become a heavenly immortal."
"Both are wrong and are not the path I want to take."
Li Yuan spoke in soliloquy, as if he was looking into his heart, and also as if he was speaking to the heavens.
At this moment, his heart understood something.
The way of heaven does not force him to make a choice, but requires him to find a balance.
Having experienced worldly love and sufferings and having a disturbed state of mind, one can actually better understand the pure meaning.
This time, a love tribulation was forced upon him, and next time perhaps the people around Li Yuan would be used as the tribulation.
Anyway, until Li Yuan realizes it.
"I am a local immortal god, and I have my own responsibilities."
"As an immortal and a god, my heart is to protect all living things."
Li Yuan whispered, his mind was completely free, and he knew what his heart desired.
In the past, he always had no goals.
When you see injustice, help it.
But the world is so big, and the suffering of the people is so great that it is impossible for a small mountain god to change it.
If you really want innocent lives not to be oppressed and want to see a relatively peaceful and happy world.
Those evil gods who have long been indulged in their desires are the biggest obstacle.
If Li Yuan was just a small mountain god, he would eventually be at a disadvantage and unable to push away these resistances.
"humane......"
Li Yuan stood in the bamboo forest, with his hands behind his back, thinking.
The rules of heaven are flawed and contain countless loopholes.
If you want to change everything, you must remake the rules of nature!
The so-called human way is actually more like the way of all living things.
It is only because the human race has the potential to prosper and will dominate an era in the future that it is called humanity.
The power of Heaven is so huge that all the immortals are at their peak and difficult to shake.
Only by upholding this path can we sweep the heavens with the mighty force of all living things!
"If you want peace in the world, change the rules of heaven."
"An Yue needs to unify the human world, and I also need to... go higher."
A kind of determination gradually emerged in Li Yuan's eyes, and he was no longer as casual as before.
The sky rumbled, as if it would not allow such shocking words to exist.
But Li Yuan smiled and raised his eyes: "Isn't this the path you want me to take?"
"A warning from the thunder?"
"I'll take it as a salute."
He smiled casually, his whole body shrouded in a hazy fairy light. He seemed to be the same as before, yet there seemed to be subtle changes.
The Fushang Sword trembled, and the sword energy swept around, but did not hurt a single blade of grass or leaf.
It was as if Li Yuan had finally come to his senses.
If the one who starts the catastrophe is unclear in mind and unstable in will, how can he control the overall situation and hold this murderous sword that opens the sky!
The days that followed were peaceful.
Shen Xuanxi was a delicate and sensible woman. The words "afterlife" might be the most direct and bold words she had ever said in her life.
After gaining a vague hope, he never came to the bamboo forest again.
Even if I go up the mountain to worship the gods, I will restrain myself and not come here again.
The bamboo forest is still there, but now there is only one person left.
Li Yuan felt a little guilty, but he would not let it upset his mood.
It was because of this disaster that he understood what his heart desired in the midst of his confusion and truly found his heart’s vision.
As the seasons change, the temples are filled with incense.
In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.
One day, there were obscure disturbances on Liangshan Mountain.
Li Yuan sat in the bamboo forest, smiled calmly, and waved his hand to create a new set of tea sets.
Drink a cup of warm tea and wait quietly.
The immortal light vibrated, and a misty atmosphere emanated from the mountain god temple on Liangshan Mountain.
The mortals who came to worship the gods all cheered and rejoiced as they looked at the diffuse fairy light.
"The mountain god has appeared, the mountain god has appeared!"
The figure of the Liangshan Mountain God flew out from the depths of Liangshan and stood in mid-air.
He has gray hair and beard, looks like an immortal, and is full of spirit.
He waved his hand and fairy light spread out, blessing all living things on the mountain.
Whether it is the mortals on the mountain or the creatures in the mountains, they all feel relaxed physically and mentally, their fatigue disappears, as if they are bathed in the spring breeze.
Some people with hidden illnesses and injuries have also recovered a lot.
They all kowtowed sincerely to thank the immortals and gods for their kindness.
The mountain god of Liangshan smiled, and a look of complacency appeared on his old face.
With magic power protecting him, mortals could not see him. The god of Liangshan Mountain then walked in the air step by step and suddenly arrived in the bamboo forest.
"Hey, you're out?"
Li Yuan chuckled and poured a cup of tea for the Liangshan Mountain God.
The mountain god of Liangshan picked it up, took a sip, and let out a "hmm" sound from his nose.
He looked quite proud, like a proud old man.
Li Yuan couldn't help laughing.
The mountain god of Liangshan stroked his beard:
"Old Deng, old ...
"Just like my heart... Just like my heart!"
The corner of Li Yuan's mouth twitched slightly.
This old man just can't get over this word...
But he just gave an awkward but polite smile.
The two chatted for a while, and the Liangshan Mountain God suddenly remembered something.
"Boy, did you receive the invitation to the Yamabu party?"
Li Yuan was slightly stunned: "I have been staying in your Liangshan for the past few years and have not received it."
The mountain god of Liangshan said, "Oh," and nodded, "The Jade Envoy wouldn't dare to mess around with this kind of thing. Maybe it was sent to your Anshan."
"But it seems that your Jade Envoy is a bit... Oh, I won't say more."
There was a slight gleam in Li Yuan's eyes.
This matter is indeed difficult to explain.
Li Yuan still holds the divine post and his body is in good condition.
How could a dignified Jade Order Envoy fail to figure out Li Yuan's location?
After all, it is an invitation to a gathering of the Heavenly Mountain Tribe. How can we just throw it away and leave it to the creatures in the mountains?
It seems a bit perfunctory.
Or is it that the old bastard knows the existence of the Fu Shang Sword and doesn't dare to confront him face to face again?
Li Yuan thought about it but didn't say anything.
Anyway, the mountain tribe gathering will start soon.
Then, let’s see how he hides!
The two of them negotiated in the bamboo forest, exchanging their experiences, and there was also some discussion about philosophy.
However, as the Liangshan Mountain God chatted, his expression became a little strange.
"Boy, I heard you got a vicious sword and killed a fairy god."
"Many great mountain gods and even the Lords of Ten Thousand Mountains will be present at this mountain tribe gathering. You... must be more restrained."
Li Yuan thought about a plan in his mind and nodded.
"I am the most honest."
The mountain god of Liangshan rolled his eyes.
"honest?"
"If you were honest, how could you have gone through such a mental tribulation on my Liangshan Mountain?"
He is the God of Liangshan. The moment he came out of seclusion, he learned a lot of information and also sensed a certain aura.
How could ordinary immortals and gods be qualified to attract the attention of Heaven?
Only those who are destined to cause trouble will be given 'special care' by heaven!
He has been a mountain god for tens of thousands of years, so this is understandable.
Hearing this, Li Yuan scratched his head and smiled shyly.
The mountain god of Liangshan looked at Li Yuan carefully for a long time and sighed:
"Fortunately, although your state of mind was shaken, you took advantage of the disaster to look at yourself and gain some enlightenment."
"This calamity has helped you find your inner wish."
