Chapter 684
Conditions for Leaving
Daoist Qingshan smiled slightly: "At least above the Dao."
Lin Yang understood; this was roughly what he had guessed.
He immediately asked, "Lord Qingshan, since there are no beings above the Dao in this space-time, are they all no longer in the world of leaves?"
Daoist Qingshan nodded, then shook his head: "Not necessarily."
"Not necessarily?" Lin Yang frowned, but Daoist Qingshan showed no intention of explaining further.
"Lin Yang, you don't need to think too much now. Once you reach the Dao, you will naturally know more."
Master Qingshan spoke softly:
"I'm telling you this because you're exceptionally talented, so I'm letting you know in advance to give you goals and motivation, not so you can have wild thoughts."
"Understood," Lin Yang replied, then suddenly remembered something.
That is, in order to go home, the system once used a "Tree Area Universe Shuttle Ticket" to take him on a shuttle.
At that time, he saw a tree that was glowing with tiny, scattered lights.
Looking back now, that tree must have been the Cosmic Spacetime Tree.
The inside of those shimmering leaves is a universe of spacetime.
"No wonder it's called the Tree Zone Universe Travel Ticket..."
At that moment, Lin Yang also understood something.
"Lin Yang, next, I will take you to the real battlefield, the Time-Space Battlefield."
As Lin Yang was reminiscing, Daoist Qingshan waved his hand, and a force enveloped Lin Yang, allowing him to travel rapidly once again.
Before long, the two appeared in an ancient battlefield that exuded an aura of desolation.
This place is even grander and more ancient than the Battle of Tai Shi.
The atmosphere was even more desolate and tragic.
"Lin Yang, do you know the conditions for reaching the Dao?" Daoist Qingshan spoke again, "or rather, the conditions for leaving the world of leaves."
"Hmm? What are the conditions?" Lin Yang frowned as he looked at the ancient battlefield.
He always felt that the "boundary" in his soul had become somewhat active.
Looking at the Green Mountain Daoist Lord who was close by, Lin Yang secretly suppressed the "realm" that was trying to become active.
Daoist Qingshan seemed oblivious to Lin Yang's unusual behavior, and said leisurely:
"To escape the world of leaves, one must walk out of this ancient battlefield of time and space. The path above is the minimum standard. Only by breaking through this ancient battlefield can one possibly escape the world of leaves."
"And within this ancient battlefield, in addition to the inherent dangers of the battlefield itself, there are also various powerful foreign warriors."
"This means that if we want to get out, we have to defeat a large number of powerful foreign warriors."
"Of course, there are also other powerful beings of our human race."
"Because only one person can pass through at a time when the passage is opened."
"Therefore, the competition here is far more brutal than anywhere else!"
"Lin Yang, if you want to escape the world of leaves, you need to suppress all the heroes here!"
Lin Yang was shocked: "Only one person can go out at a time? You have to suppress everyone else?!"
"That's good, so keep up the good work." Daoist Qingshan nodded earnestly.
"This..." Lin Yang was speechless for a moment.
That sounds incredibly powerful.
“Originally, I would have told you all this once you reached the half-step path, but I believe that reaching the half-step path is only a matter of time for you.”
Daoist Qingshan looked at Lin Yang:
"I've already told you the direction to go. Whether it's pressure or motivation depends on your own perspective."
As he spoke, he sighed:
"Our Wind Shadow Time-Space Domain has not had anyone leave the Ancient Battlefield of Time and Space for a very, very long time."
“But I see some hope in you.” Lin Yang was taken aback: “Me?”
He pointed to himself.
Does Master Qingshan think so highly of him?
"Haha, yes." Daoist Qingshan laughed. "Of course, don't put too much pressure on yourself. You just need to cultivate according to your own plan."
Lin Yang was immediately at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.
He paused for a moment, then asked, "Lord Qingshan, are you familiar with the Dingnan Star Region? And... higher-dimensional universes?"
Dingnan Starfield is the place that the heroic warriors from the ruins within this universe longed to return to.
However, after searching through all the available information, he found no information about the Dingnan Star Region.
He originally thought that once he reached a higher level of time and space, he would know all the secrets.
But now it seems that there are still many secrets, far beyond the levels contained in higher-level spacetime.
Daoist Qingshan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Dingnan Star Region? I'm sorry, I've never heard of this place."
Lin Yang couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.
Even Daoist Qingshan doesn't know?
Qingshan Daojun continued, "I don't know about the Dingnan Star Region, but the higher-dimensional universe may be some unique place that is separate from the spacetime universe tree."
Lin Yang was startled: "Outside the Time-Space Tree?"
Is that so-called lord really that powerful?
"It's just a possibility, I'm not sure, because I've never left the Time-Space Tree, this is just my guess," said Daoist Qingshan again.
"Oh... Lord Qingshan, what other places are there besides the Time-Space Tree?" Lin Yang asked curiously.
Daoist Qingshan shook his head again: "I know even less about that. I know very little about information outside the Time-Space Tree, and those great figures on the Dao would not easily tell me."
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yang and said with a smile, "Don't think that I know everything just because I've been appointed as a guide. In reality, it's just a job."
"Even being appointed as a guide is not a good thing."
"Huh?" Lin Yang asked, puzzled. "Isn't it a good thing?"
"Yes. Because it means I have little potential to go any further."
Qingshan Daojun smiled self-deprecatingly:
"The guides have a lot to do. Those with the potential to advance further are either in seclusion to cultivate or fighting in the ancient battlefield of time and space to try to break through. They simply don't have time to deal with those messy and trivial matters."
"So don't think too highly of the guides; they're just a bunch of old guys with no future."
Lin Yang remained silent.
These words...
He was a little unsure how to respond.
"Haha, alright, I've said everything I needed to say and shown you everything you needed to see. Now it's time to go back."
Daoist Qingshan waved his hand again, leading Lin Yang back, and said at the same time:
"I'm telling you in advance what happened today, so don't spread it around, or I'll be punished too."
Lin Yang's heart skipped a beat: "Understood, thank you, Lord Qingshan!"
"No need to be polite. If you can reach the Dao in the future, I will also benefit a lot from it." Daoist Qingshan waved his hand.
Soon, the two returned to the higher dimension.
Lord Qingshan did not interfere or inquire about the conflict between Lin Yang and the Chu Kingdom; he simply sent them back and left.
Lin Yang suddenly remembered that there were still some questions he had forgotten to ask.
"Sigh, never mind, maybe next time. What I learned this time has been shocking enough."
With a sigh, Lin Yang composed himself and went into seclusion again to study the Dao pattern scroll.
He didn't know if it was because his horizons had suddenly broadened, but this time he found it easier to comprehend. (End of Chapter)
