Chapter 1029
The Tungusic Wars
"Wan Yi's approach is still relatively correct."
Chen Ye glanced in Wan Yi's direction, nodded, and seemed quite approving.
After all, if you want to know what the laws of the Tungusic Wars were, it would be the right thing to do to watch the war depicted in the murals in their entirety.
This can only be considered one chapter in the Tungusic Wars...
In fact.
If we look back at the true history, there were so many powerful figures involved during that period, the fighting must have been incredibly fierce, and there was definitely more to it than just this.
But the artist of this mural selectively recorded these elements...
Every recorded chapter must have a corresponding meaning!
"If this mural were placed in the world of the Strange Era, even the most outstanding mural sculptor might not be able to carve out such a rich array of laws... Moreover, it is evident that every detail has been meticulously crafted, indicating that this mural must have been created by someone who personally witnessed the Tungusic Wars, which is why the scenes look so realistic."
Chen Ye carefully observed the murals and was no longer in such a hurry to load them into his deduction space.
After all, the principles contained in these murals are far too profound!
Just writing down such a small amount of content will consume most of your spirituality, which doesn't seem like a worthwhile thing to do.
Moreover, even if it is successfully written into the deduction space, it will definitely be different from actually sitting here and experiencing this mural.
and……
The mural is of such a high level that forcibly incorporating it into one's own deduction space will inevitably result in some loss of parts, and its completeness will not be very high. Even if deductions or further calculations are performed, there will still be errors.
It would be better to actually face the real murals, comprehend the content of these laws, and then, after becoming more familiar with them, rewrite them into the deduction space. This approach might be more scientific and effective.
"The content of the scene is very realistic. Through various details, it can be seen that the participants in the Tunguska War were all of high rank and possessed considerable abilities; they were all masters of the laws. I wonder why the Philosopher's Stone is so alluring, given that such a high-level war could break out..."
Chen Ye roughly understood from the words of the Jade Void Daoist that the Tungusic Wars were caused by the widespread dissemination of the art of immortality.
Forging the Philosopher's Stone!
If this stone is successfully refined, then one will gain immortality and the ability to achieve it.
However, Chen Ye still lacked the relevant principles in his mind regarding how to achieve immortality...
Furthermore...
If true immortality truly existed, then it would surely be the master of Sky City. Unfortunately, such an existence does not seem to exist for the time being. Even in a vast place like Sky City, the law of elimination still exists.
Even if one truly achieves immortality, there will still be a day when the great waves of change wash them away and they are all swept away.
In general.
This art of immortality left Chen Ye with only a deeper understanding of the law of natural selection.
Will forging a specific Philosopher's Stone truly grant immortality...?
Chen Ye was not optimistic about this.
Subsequently.
By observing this mural, Chen Ye can roughly understand the creator's intention.
"The scale of this war is simply too large. Even angels will eventually wither, let alone the pagoda of all living beings."
At this moment, Chen Ye looked at the mural of the pagoda. In this painting, all living beings were like burning karmic fire, constantly being consumed and eroded by the flames that spread from this world, eventually returning to nothingness.
The mural depicts only a broken stone, held in the palm of a black angel.
When the stone was held in the palm of one's hand, it immediately emitted a large amount of eerie light, as if all the sins of this world had been unleashed, like opening Pandora's box.
Chen Ye shook his head slightly. When he saw the mural, he had already guessed that the so-called Philosopher's Stone was probably just a trap.
A scheme that has drawn in all the gods and Buddhas.
The consequence was that it ushered in a broken era.
Fortunately, the three major families established Sky City, which replicated the prosperity of the Spirit Realm before and made this order extremely complete.
The boundaries of Sky City were originally vast and boundless, which is why these broken traces can be traced.
"There is a lot of content in these murals that is worth exploring."
Chen Ye thought to himself.
Next.
His gaze began to focus on the broken murals, searching for traces of the laws.
However, Chen Ye discovered that the laws here were not destructive, but rather laws that created quality types.
The paths depicted in the murals have been preserved.
The Jade Void Daoist paced back and forth, his gaze falling upon the murals. He sensed that these murals contained profound meaning and couldn't help but ponder them.
Both Wan Yi and Wu Nian were very curious about the content of the mural.
Although everyone has come to the same place, what they see, hear, and perceive will be very different.
next second.
Chen Ye focused his mind on the mural and suddenly sensed a chilling aura.
This somber atmosphere comes from the painting of angels rising and falling.
The silhouettes of these angels transform into a torrent of laws, forming a vortex through abstract art. However, the nature of this vortex is not aggregation, but rather mutual struggle, fighting to the death for something.
At the end of the torrent, that thing is nothingness, representing nothing at all.
"Perhaps... the meaning depicted in the murals is to express that there was never any Philosopher's Stone at all, but through this scheme, all living beings created the Philosopher's Stone, and the price they paid was endless bloodshed, countless lives, and a war so vast that it had almost no boundaries."
Chen Ye couldn't help but shake his head, suddenly realizing that the laws here were still extremely cruel.
and,
I have no idea how this whole scheme came about; it feels like it's full of conspiracy.
At this moment, Wan Yi came up behind Chen Ye and stood with him to look at the mural.
After a while.
Wan Yi smiled and said, "You should have felt it too, right? The so-called Philosopher's Stone doesn't exist at all."
"Yes."
Chen Ye nodded, equally surprised that Wan Yi had reached the same conclusion as him.
He asked, "How did you get this answer?" "It's not surprising that I was able to get this answer. As long as I could sense the sculptor's intention, what he wanted to express was that this battle was a mistake from beginning to end, and we shouldn't have done these things."
Wan Yi shook his head, his eyes filled with disappointment as he looked at the mural: "I originally thought that in the Age of Gods, there must have been many intelligent and powerful beings who were omnipotent and omniscient, and who would do everything with great discretion. But after seeing this mural, I think my previous view was too naive!"
"No matter the era, there will always be fools who, when given great power, will go to any lengths to push for a wrong thing, leading to the demise of an era."
"Then, how many powerful individuals will pay the price for this battle?"
Wan Yi's words also stirred deep thought in Chen Ye.
This mural not only conveys information about the past of Sky City, but also reveals profound secrets about how it perished in previous eras.
"No wonder Zhiyin doesn't let just anyone come here; the threshold for viewing these murals is indeed very high!"
Chen Ye thought to himself.
now.
Wu Nian's figure arrived in front of the painting and sat down cross-legged.
He closed his eyes, and the chilling aura emanating from him seemed to merge with the content of the mural.
When Wu Nian reaches this level, his aura becomes deep and profound, like a dragon about to emerge from the abyss, and his bones crackle and pop.
"The laws here are quite suitable for perception through the absence of thought!"
Wan Yi stared at Wu Nian's retreating figure and nodded secretly.
but.
In Wan Yi's own opinion, he didn't particularly like these patterns of angels rising and falling. They looked too heavy and had a lot of chaotic energy. When they were combined, the gods of the past were fighting each other using laws that symbolized error and destruction.
This is precisely the kind of rule that Wan Yi doesn't particularly like.
He left this place to find a new angel motif that better suited his understanding.
Chen Ye's figure paused here temporarily.
after all.
The image of these angels transforming into a torrent, vying for the last throne, likely symbolizes the grandest war. Even if the laws here are only outlined with a few strokes, they can still give Chen Ye some valuable insights.
He knew that he needed to study these murals more deeply, to understand their origins and sources, in order to connect all the clues and arrive at the answer.
This includes one's own Dharma practice.
Next.
Chen Ye began here to continuously restore his depleted spirituality.
"Wow, the laws of this place are indeed very profound. The speed at which one can recover one's spirituality here is several times faster than outside!"
Chen Ye gradually began to realize the many wonderful benefits of practicing cultivation in this place.
Surrounded by such profound murals of laws from every angle, each of these murals contains an infinite amount of information, with no end in sight.
Therefore, anyone who understands this painting will experience the immense benefits it brings to themselves.
Chen Ye closed his eyes, and the surrounding fragments of laws were transformed by him in a special way...
at this time.
Behind Chen Ye, the radiance of the rising sun automatically appeared, and the surrounding temperature suddenly increased. As fragments of laws transformed into wisps of light, they were absorbed into the dharma form of the red sun. The red sun became more solid, and even the radiance it emitted had a tangible manifestation.
As this law became more complete, Chen Ye's understanding of it deepened.
"I really do need to comprehend these laws!"
Chen Ye sensed this benefit; as the sun rose, the warm aura of the law would continuously nourish his soul.
The total amount of mental energy is constantly increasing...
and.
Since experiencing this place and gaining a deeper understanding, Chen Ye noticed that his conversion of law fragments was now much more efficient.
He took a roasted chestnut from the spatial ring in [Infinite City] and put it in his mouth.
Suddenly.
As a warm current flowed through his body, Chen Ye's spirituality began to recover rapidly.
It became more transparent.
"not bad."
Chen Ye smiled slightly, sensing that eating the roasted chestnuts had a very good boost to his spiritual recovery.
Before I knew it, I had been cultivating for some time...
The spiritual recovery is almost at its peak.
at this time.
Wu Nian stood up and moved to other murals, looking around at them.
"It seems that Wu Nian has attained a very special state of enlightenment!"
Coming to his senses, Chen Ye's spirituality began to perceive the things around him.
When Chen Ye focused his spiritual energy on Wu Nian, he suddenly sensed that the aura emanating from the other person was becoming increasingly peculiar.
This immediately piqued Chen Ye's interest in Wu Nian.
"Wu Nian's talent is truly extraordinary. This grim portrait is not something to be observed too much, because it represents error and destruction, but Wu Nian himself walks this path of destruction."
At this moment, Daoist Yuxu floated to Chen Ye's side. He also noticed that Chen Ye's spirituality had been fully restored and he had entered a state of observation. Coincidentally, he himself had been cultivating for a while and was feeling a bit bored, so he came to find Chen Ye for a brief exchange:
"Most of the aura contained in that mural is wrong in my perception, but the path that Wu Nian has taken is actually very similar to this path."
"Now, the problem he faces is that the path he has taken is denied by this mural."
Whether one can forge a different path, or achieve complete nirvana and break through one's own limits, depends on the choice Wu Nian makes.
Chen Ye nodded, having gained some understanding of the path Wu Nian had taken.
Yu Xu Daoist was, after all, an old Daoist who had lived in Sky City for a very long time. He was very knowledgeable and experienced. Although his talent ceiling was not as high as that of the younger generation, his vast experience allowed him to know how to deal with every situation. Exchanging ideas with such a senior was still very valuable. (End of this chapter)
