"Sigh! Time to go." A childlike sigh came from the river. A child about seven or eight years old looked at the village not far away and turned around with a reluctant gaze.
The beautiful sound of the zither resounded through the forest. A beautiful flower and grass reflected the vitality of life. A zither, a person, and a mink revealed a fairyland.
When the song ended, a kind voice rang out," Fan 'er, it's time to eat."
A white shadow flashed and disappeared, quickly rushing towards the wooden house in the forest. Suddenly, a hand appeared at the door of the house, grabbed the white shadow, and scolded with a smile,"You greedy ghost, you ran faster than a rabbit when you heard that you were eating.”
"You're the rabbit. I'm a beautiful ferret, and I can run faster than a rabbit.”
If there was a normal person here, they would definitely find it unbelievable. The words just now came from the mouth of a snow-white mink.
The kind voice came again." Alright, you two little troublemakers, stop fooling around. Come and eat."”
"Grandpa, brother bullied me again. You have to help me punish him.”The one who spoke was still the sable.
" Okay, okay. Grandpa will punish him for playing the piano for you every day. How about that?" The old man looked at the two children with a kind smile.
"Humph! "Stinky Ye Fan, I'll eat all your vegetables later. I'll see how you bully me," the small marten continued to say unwillingly.
When he entered the house, he was still mumbling. An old man with white hair and a youthful face smiled and carried the sable over to the table. After the young man entered the house, he put down the zither and walked to the table to flick the white sable's head. He said to the old man,"Grandpa, it seems like my realm is about to break through again.”
The old man looked at the young man with gratification.""Fan 'er, don't worry. I've been telling you to stabilize your cultivation and slowly improve because I'm afraid that you'll be impatient and eager to improve. With your current cultivation, your inner demon has already been removed, so no matter how fast you improve, it won't affect you. After reaching the Return to Void Stage, you can't just rely on hard work to improve your cultivation. You also need a state of mind and comprehension to improve your cultivation. You'll slowly understand this when you reach fanxu, so let's eat first."
The young man and the old man sat quietly on the wooden chairs. There was a pot of fragrant tea on the wooden table in the middle. At this time, the little white sable had already run away.
"Fan 'er, do you remember how many years it has been since you came up the mountain?”The old man looked at his grandson who had grown up in front of him dotingly.
"Grandpa, it's been almost eight years. What's wrong, Grandpa?”The young man thought for a moment and replied.
"Fan 'er, how old were you when you came up?”The old man continued to ask as he reminisced.
"Eight years old. Fan 'er is fifteen this year and will be sixteen soon. Don't tell me grandpa doesn't remember?”The young man answered his grandfather's question seriously.
The old man continued,""I haven't forgotten. Fan 'er, you know that I'm an existence that has transcended this world. Back then, I let you learn from me because your physique is the most special I've ever seen. Back then, in order to prevent a piece of beautiful jade like you from declining, I had the intention of teaching you something. However, I didn't expect you to improve so quickly. In the short eight years since you came up the mountain, I already have nothing to teach you. Now, your knowledge is not inferior to mine."Only cultivation and comprehension are required to slowly increase. Grandpa doesn't know if it's right or wrong for you to walk on this path. Grandpa knows that you're someone who yearns for an ordinary life and wants to live a peaceful life. You're no longer ordinary now. In the future, you don't know if your life will be bitter or sweet. You have to rely on yourself to walk and experience these things. However, these are all things in the future. You don't have to worry about these things now. Go play by yourself."
" Grandpa, then I'll go play with Xue 'er. I'll also go ask the old monkey for some wine for you." After hearing his grandfather's words, the young man planned to go do his own thing. He felt that his grandfather's words today were very strange.
" Haha, that monkey is in trouble." The old man laughed.
The youth focused his gaze into the distance. Suddenly, a bright light flashed in his eyes as his figure floated into the distance. The old man looked at the youth's back and revealed a gratified smile.
A white shadow floated in the forest. In the distance, a cunning light flashed in the eyes of a white ferret. It flashed quickly to avoid the pursuit of the white shadow. Two white shadows flickered in the forest.
"Xue 'er, let's go find the old monkey to drink. It's been a long time since we went to the old monkey's place. Let's see who gets there first.”Two white figures flew towards the top of the mountain.
This was a paradise on earth in the Shennongjia primitive forest. Under the cover of an ancient formation, no one had discovered the existence of such a small world in the forest. There were all kinds of animals and plants that had long gone extinct in the outside world, and there was no lack of spiritual creatures. A white shadow flashed and disappeared on a mountain peak, followed by another white shadow.
There was a huge cave on the mountain where all kinds of wild fruits grew. A young man in a white cloth shirt, a white mink, and an old monkey were sitting in front of a stone table. On the table were all kinds of wild fruits and a pot of wine with a strong fragrance.
The old monkey picked up the wine jug and poured a cup for each of them. He raised the cup and cupped his hands at them, slowly tasting the two items. While drinking wine and eating fresh fruits, the young man told the old monkey a story. He didn't know if the old monkey could understand, but seeing that it completely understood, it should be able to understand. The little white marten held the wild fruit in its paws and ate it.
The young man handed a glittering pill to the old monkey and said,"" Cultivate quickly after eating. You'll be able to speak as soon as you become a Divine Beast. Look at how mighty the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal is. Let's make a ruckus in Heaven too. I'm going back and will come back to see you after a while. This time, I'll be going into seclusion for a while and will only come out after I reach the Return to Void Stage."
The young man took the wine that the old monkey had prepared for his grandfather and said,"Xue 'er, let's go back. Old Monkey, don't think about me. This seclusion will be very fast.”The figure flashed and disappeared. The old monkey's voice came from afar. There was a reluctant expression in his eyes.
A white ferret crawled on the ground and said,""Grandpa, when will big brother come out? It's been a long time since I played with Xue 'er.”
"It's been three months. It should be soon. When your brother comes out, he'll play with you every day.”
A long howl was heard from the forest, and a figure suddenly appeared in the wooden house. The white ferret jumped into the young man's arms and patted his chest with its small paw.""Stinky Ye Fan hasn't come out to play with Xue 'er for such a long time. Xue' er won't talk to you in the future.”
"Be good, Xue 'er. I'm going to cultivate. In the future, I'll accompany Xue' er every day.”The young man said gently to the white ferret in his arms.
The old man smiled." Fan 'er, you've finally reached the Return to Void Stage. Looks like you've gained quite a lot this time. Not only did your cultivation level increase, but you've also reached the Return to Void Stage."”
The youth said," That's right, grandfather. There were many illusions that I couldn't understand in the Void Realm in the past, but I've figured them out after breaking through this time. I feel that it's more natural now. Thank you for your guidance, grandfather."
The old man said,"Haha, this is all your own hard work and talent. There's no need to thank Grandpa."
The old man continued,"Fan 'er, you've already reached the Return to Void Stage, so I have nothing more to teach you. Everything in the future will depend on your own hard work. I'm very happy that you've given me so much joy in the past eight years. Now, it's time for you to go out and train. I want to go out and see if the outside world has changed too much over the years."
"Grandpa, don't you want Fan 'er anymore?" Fan 'er doesn't want to leave you."
The old man said," Fan 'er, it's not that I don't want you anymore. It's just that you've grown up. It's time for you to go out and walk your own path." In the future, you won't be accompanying me everywhere. I still want you to find a few granddaughters-in-law for me and give birth to a few children for me to enjoy myself. Listen to me and ask if you don't understand anything. "Grandfather has never told you about grandfather, but now it's time to tell you. Grandfather has transcended this universe and has endless life. Grandfather doesn't know how grandfather came to be, but he only remembers that the universe was like this after he woke up from his deep sleep. After millions of years of wandering, grandfather's footsteps have traveled to every corner. The illusions you saw in the Void Realm were real. They were what grandfather had seen all these years." A realistic projection created to train your mind. In the universe, other than Earth, there were many other planets with higher life forms. They all had different levels of development, but the planets with higher life forms were very far apart. However, there were conflicts on every planet with life. There was a saying in the Celestial Empire that was very true: " Wherever there are people, there will be war." It was the same in the entire universe. Wherever there were living beings, there would be conflicts, but all kinds of conflicts would develop differently. On Earth, war had led to the development of science and technology. The development of science and technology had neglected the protection of the environment and the improvement of oneself. In ancient times, gods, immortals, and demons existed. At that time, wars were battles between energy. Because of the great war, the energy on Earth exploded and the energy channels were closed. Therefore, it was rare to see people with superpowers and cultivators now. Those who survived the war and were able to teleport had all left. Those who stayed behind continued to continue their factions. The energy that was originally scarce, also known as Reiki by the ancient cultivators, had been consumed by the increasing population. The massive consumption and destruction of war had almost exhausted the Reiki about 2,000 years ago. The number of cultivators and people with superpowers had decreased, and the sects had slowly declined until they disappeared. Some sects saw that the Reiki on Earth was decreasing, so they changed their cultivation methods into ancient martial arts. In ancient times, the Chinese cultivators were the most powerful. Later on, ancient martial arts were also the most popular in China. With the scarcity of spiritual energy, only a small number of cultivators found the source of the earth spirit energy and continued to cultivate in silence. However, such places were usually in famous mountains and rivers. In addition to the concealment of the array, ordinary people could not see cultivators. Now, it was very difficult to even see a Nascent Soul cultivator on Earth. As time passed, ancient martial arts gradually declined. As various cultivation methods were the treasures of sects, as the number of battles between sects decreased, good cultivation methods became even rarer. Most of them disappeared with the disappearance of the elders of the sects. Nowadays, there were very few people who knew ancient martial arts in China, but there were still some. They could be seen in the secular world, unlike cultivators. Only a small number of people entered the world to cultivate. Ordinary people would not understand when they saw them. In the future, when you see them in the secular world, help them if you can. After all, cultivation is not easy, but you have to pay attention to their temperament. Those who do good deeds will help those who can help them. Those who do evil deeds will destroy their cultivation in the light and destroy their primordial spirit in the serious. You and grandpa are cultivating the "Star Scripture" created by grandpa. There are five realms: Spirit Cultivating, Body Building, Heart Cultivation, Return to Void Stage, and Star Formation. There are obvious differences in the advancement of the first four realms, but there are no obvious restrictions when you reach the Return to Void Stage. Now that you have reached the Return to Void Stage, you should realize that you have endless energy and life. If you want to cultivate to the Star Formation Stage, you need opportunities. Maybe you will reach it forever, or maybe you will advance to the Star Formation Stage tomorrow. Your current ability is not inferior to grandpa's, and grandpa has not reached the highest state yet. It seems that there are still many realms between the Return to Void Stage and the Star Formation Stage, but the boundary between realms is very vague. I guess that the experience is different, and the realms you reach are also different. That's why I want you to experience your own life. It's time for Grandpa to go out and take a walk, but I'll come back to see you in the future. When Grandpa comes back, I hope to enjoy the fun of old age. You have to work hard to find a few wives and give Grandpa a few good grandchildren. It's time for you to go out and complete your grandmother's last wish. As my grandson, you should do your best and not embarrass grandfather. "During this period of time, you can focus on studying the various knowledge on Earth. Grandpa has prepared all the books for you, including all the mysterious techniques and cultures from ancient times to the present. Everything is stored in the Void Realm. You can start learning tomorrow. There are some things that I'll tell you after you're done learning."
"Grandpa, are aliens the same as Earthlings?" Is it like what you see on TV? Will they attack Earth?"
The old man smiled and said," Some of them are similar to the people on Earth, while some are different. They have all kinds of people. I don't think they will attack Earth. Besides, they're very far from Earth. Earth is at the edge of the universe. They come and leave after taking a look. In recent years, there have been extraterrestrials coming, but it's very difficult for people to discover them."
"Grandpa, why can we cultivate here when the spiritual energy on Earth is so little?" Also, I feel like a long time has passed inside that Void Realm, but it hasn't been long outside since I came out. Is it because time is different inside and outside?”
The old man said,""The time in the Void Realm is one year inside and one day outside. Grandpa used a time barrier to change it. After you learn the method, you can change the barrier. The more powerful you are, the more you can adjust the ratio. With your current cultivation, you can set the ratio to one day outside the Void Realm for a hundred years. The spiritual qi is the spiritual qi that Grandpa used a barrier to hide this mountain peak and the surrounding area. Only this place can absorb spiritual qi. Forcefully opening a passage in other places would cause a spatial rift.
"The Void Realm is the barrier in the ring on grandpa's hand. The Void Realm is infinitely large, and inside is a small world. Living things can live inside. Xue 'er is a small ferret in this mountain. Not long after it was born, its parents died fighting with other animals. I happened to run into it and saw that the little fellow was very cute, so I brought it back to the Void Realm to cultivate. I didn't expect the little fellow to cultivate into a divine beast in the end. Now, I think it has surpassed a divine beast. As for what it is, I don't know either." According to the people on earth, it is called a sacred beast, but it has already surpassed the existence of beasts. Moreover, it can transform into an outsider. It is naturally of the ice attribute. In the future, it will be handed over to you. It also likes to follow you. Take good care of it.”
"Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll take care of Xue 'er like a younger sister."
The little white sable said to the young man with tears in its eyes,""Brother, thank you for playing with Xue 'er all these years. You dote on Xue' er so much. Xue 'er will be obedient in the future.”
The old man said," Alright, Fan 'er, go and study. Xue' er, come with me. I'll teach you something so that you won't accidentally cause trouble for your brother when you go out in the future."”
A period of time passed. On this day, the young man, the old man, and a small white sable were eating in a depressed manner. The dining table was filled with sadness. The old man knew that he had to part with the young man and the small sable. The old man could not bear to part with the two little things, and the young man and the white sable could not bear to part with their grandfather.
However, parting was necessary, perhaps for the sake of a beautiful reunion in the future.
The old man choked and said,""Fan 'er, bring Xue' er down the mountain tomorrow. Go to the world to experience cultivation and complete your grandmother's last wish. Don't let down your grandfather and grandmother's expectations. When you leave the mountain, try not to expose your cultivation and be an ordinary person. This is also your wish. If you need to use your luck, don't appear with your original appearance. You are an existence that transcends the world. If people know that you exist, it will bring you trouble. And Xue 'er... You can use your divine sense when you communicate with your brother. Don't let outsiders know that you can speak. Don't cause trouble for your brother. Alright, go see the old monkey and say goodbye to him. Prepare to leave the mountain tomorrow. After you leave, grandpa will also leave this place. Go and take a look around. Grandpa won't need these things. You may be able to use them.”The old man and the young man's rings matched, and a flash of light flashed. The young man used his divine sense to check. Everything his grandfather had in the Void Realm was in the ring.
"Grandpa, I'm going to see the old monkey and say goodbye to him," the youth said.
In the cave, the young man handed the old monkey a porcelain bottle and said to the old monkey,"" Old Monkey, I'm leaving the mountain tomorrow and won't be able to come back to see you for a long time. Take one of these pills every month and cultivate diligently. I hope you can talk the next time I come back. Goodbye, Old Monkey."
Suddenly, the old monkey pulled the young man past the cave and came to a cave filled with fragrance. The old monkey pointed at the fragrant water in the cave pool and then pointed at the young man. The young man asked,"You want me to take this away?"
The old monkey nodded, and the young man said,""I can't bring it with me. This is something that you've worked hard to brew.”
The old monkey took out the porcelain bottle that the youth had given him and wanted to return it to the youth. The youth tried to persuade him, but he couldn't. Seeing that the old monkey didn't want the wine, he didn't want the pills. The youth had no choice but to take out a wine pot and fill it with wine. After filling it up to about half of the wine pool, he put the old pot into his ring. The old monkey pulled the youth around a corner and walked into a very good cave. The cave was almost filled with wild fruits from the forest outside. He pointed at the fruits and then pointed at the little white sable Xue Er on the youth's shoulder."Old monkey, are you going to give Guoguo to me and let me eat it?" Xue 'er asked.”The old monkey nodded happily.
Xue 'er cried and said to the old monkey," Thank you, old monkey. I'll definitely come back to see you with my brother in the future. You have to cultivate well. When I come back, I'll bring you delicious food."”
The young man had no choice but to pack half of the wild fruits again. He bid farewell to the reluctant monkey and returned to the wooden house.
The next day, the old man sent a man and a sable down the mountain. The old man said to the young man," When you leave the mountain and enter the human world, you must let nature take its course. Do as you wish. Take good care of yourself and Xue 'er. Grandpa has taught you everything he can. Go." The young man knelt down and kowtowed three times to the old man with tears on his face. He said to the old man, Grandfather, I'll miss you. Come and visit me soon." He picked up the little white sable and left the mountain.
The old man watched the young man leave with tears in his eyes until he could no longer see his figure. He turned around and saw an old monkey standing behind him with tears in his eyes. The old man smiled at the old monkey and said,"The child is gone. Take care. I'm leaving too."
The old man returned to the wooden house and looked at the grass and trees here again and again. He waved his hand to hide this place. A white light flashed, and the mountain returned to peace. There was no immortal music, no frolicking, only the quiet mountain wind.
