Chapter 141 Seeking the Truth
“Da da da.”

In the endless darkness, only Si Chen’s footsteps were echoing. Stepping on this lifeless and lightless devilish land, the sound was particularly distant.

He didn’t know how long he had been walking. Here, time and space had become distant nouns.

No matter where you go, you will eventually return to where you started.

What’s even more bizarre is that the land beneath your feet seems to have an invisible magical power that can constantly absorb the essence of all living things until it is dry.

Si Chen’s energy was also constantly lost, but fortunately his origin was strong and he could hold on for a while.

He was looking for a way out, but this place was like a maze with no way out.

In fact, as long as he wanted, he could summon the imperial soldiers at any time to escape from this predicament, but he did not do so because this was exactly what he wanted.

There was mist all around, it was a chaos. This empty dark place was very gloomy and filled with an ominous atmosphere.

At this time, even the way home could not be found. The Fusang sacred tree intentionally shielded itself, making this place completely dark.

From time to time, a skeleton or human skin would appear underfoot, but after endless years, these bones had long lost their divinity and turned into mortal objects.

In the chaotic darkness, endless resentment gathered from all directions. This was left behind after the saints’ essence was dissipated and they were exhausted to death.

Combined with the environment, these grievances lasted for a long time and were usually suppressed by the formations set up by the Holy Emperor. After the Fusang Sacred Tree removed part of the formations, they suddenly surged in.

There is not only resentment, but also murderous intent and evil spirit. These saints are all extremely evil people, and none of them are innocent. The mark they left behind is naturally extremely vicious.

For a moment, Si Chen was like a small boat sailing in a storm, in danger of being swallowed by the sea at any time.

All kinds of illusions entered Si Chen’s body. These were the evil thoughts of those saints, trying to corrode him and bring him into the abyss.

The chaos-colored little man sitting cross-legged on Si Chen’s immortal platform sensed the resentment and began to glow all over, defending himself.

Many negative emotions surged into Si Chen’s heart all at once. He felt severe pain. The pain of his soul was hundreds of times stronger than the pain of his body.

Si Chen’s footsteps became lighter and lighter, and gradually, he stopped moving.

Between his eyebrows, the Chaos Spirit was shining, but there was black mist surrounding it. His condition was declining, and many negative emotions began to appear and were infinitely magnified.

He saw a series of pictures, such as a huge black hand slapping towards him from the starry sky. It was extremely terrifying and directly destroyed the Ancient Sun Cult.

For example, he failed in his Dao-cutting journey and was trapped in the second level of the Immortal Realm for two thousand years, unable to break through. He could only watch Wu Shi attain enlightenment and become an emperor, and finally he could only sit and die in despair.

For example, when Si Chen faced the great tribulation of attaining enlightenment in the future, he failed to survive and was split in half by lightning.

He was also discovered by the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone of Life, who attacked him together, causing him to bleed across the starry sky and prevent him from growing up.

And scenes from previous lives on Earth.

The most painful thing is naturally the pain brought by the body’s instinct. This pain comes from the soul and from the self-consciousness. Once you can’t hold on, your consciousness may dissipate.

He was in danger of becoming a Daoist. The chaos-colored figure became increasingly dimmer. Si Chen rarely felt so desperate. This was the misfortune that had plagued him along the way. With the Emperor’s soldiers around, everything was too easy. He had hardly experienced the difference between life and death.

Since he came into this world, he seemed to have never experienced despair.

The fog was getting thicker and thicker all around, and the atmosphere of darkness was all around. Si Chen’s figure was gradually becoming blurred.

The Fusang sacred tree watching from the dark was unmoved and had no intention of removing these evil thoughts. It and the Sun Emperor Tower knew that this was a test to temper Si Chen’s will. If he couldn’t even get through this level, then let alone prove his Dao, even killing the Dao would be in jeopardy.

Throughout the ages, all those great men who have achieved enlightenment have possessed extremely strong willpower, were extremely confident, and believed they were invincible. That is why they are so stubborn, or arrogant.

Si Chen did not disappoint the Fusang sacred tree. Suddenly, the chaos-colored little man became bright, opened his mouth and inhaled, and the surrounding chaotic air was taken into his body, emitting thousands of golden lights and dispersing the black mist.

His eyes became clear, and he continued to move forward despite the great pain and hallucinations.

“In this life, I will definitely prove my truth! The mere act of killing the truth cannot stop me at all.”

“I want Wu Shi to watch me attain enlightenment!”

“As long as I am here, the ancient sect will not be destroyed by the underworld.”

“So what if they are the Tribulation of Enlightenment or the Supreme of Forbidden Zone? If they try to stop me, I will destroy them!”

The vanity was over, Si Chen’s eyes were clear and he was more confident than ever before.

At this moment, wisps of divine silk flowed out from between his brows and hung down, with thousands of auspicious colors, making him look clear and majestic.

His whole body was glowing, every inch of his flesh and blood was crystal clear and spotless, all his pores were dilated, and he was flowing with Taoist essence like a colorful glazed magic lamp.

After recovering, the more brilliant soul entered the flesh shell and radiated divine light.

Si Chen continued to move forward, and gradually, all these evil thoughts disappeared. He looked at the world, and although it was still dark, in his eyes, it was completely different from before.

His will underwent a transformation and became more resolute.

“Know your mind, know yourself, know the way.” Si Chen murmured.

The desire to seek the truth often has nothing to do with your cultivation, but is related to yourself. Si Chen walked in the darkness for an unknown period of time before he began to ponder the path to the truth.

At this time, the direction in his heart gradually became clear, but it was not enough. He needed to make his sense of direction clearer.

“My Tao, my path, what is the purpose of cultivation, and why do I cultivate Tao.”

Si Chen was immersed in a wonderful artistic conception. In fact, if he wanted to, he could easily cut out the Great Dao of Chaos, which was the great Dao that came with the chaotic body, the Hunyuan Wandao.

But he always knew that it was not the true Tao in his heart. After all, in this life, he was not only a chaotic body, but also carried much more.

When he was at the first level of Immortal, he began to think about the path of the sword and prepared in advance, but he only had a vague idea.

When he really faced this challenge, Si Chen realized that what he had thought before was too simple, and it was still too difficult to cut out the path in his heart.

At this moment, light appeared here, and the Fusang sacred tree appeared. The golden divine light swayed in the sky, and the golden leaves on the tree rustled.

When Si Chen walked under the sacred Fusang tree, he realized the passage of time. It turned out that more than two years had passed.

“You are quite good. It seems that you have triggered the divine ban.” The Fusang sacred tree extended a branch and placed it on his shoulder. “No, your spiritual power is so strong.”

The Fusang Sacred Tree was somewhat amazed. This divine consciousness was far beyond that of the Holy Emperor at the same level. Even if it was a chaotic body, it was too exaggerated.
