Chapter 889 Peak Lake
"Looking at it horizontally, it looks like ridges and peaks, with different heights near and far. I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because I am in this mountain."
Unconsciously, Su Xiaoya woke up from her enlightenment as if she had been enlightened. She felt as if she had been reborn, refreshed, and an unprecedented sense of ease surged into her heart like a tide. She even subconsciously recited Su Shi's "Inscription on the Wall of the West Forest".
As Su Xiaoya was reciting the line "Looking from the side, it looks like a mountain; looking from the front, it looks like a peak", she suddenly felt that what was hidden in the poem was not only the appearance of Mount Lu, but also a kind of transparent way of life.
There is no Blue Star person who doesn't know Su Shi, let alone Su Xiaoya, a liberal arts student.
Su Shi's poems never force a fixed format or a deliberate theme, but flow naturally like "a spring of ten thousand buckets", following the original form of scenery, emotions, and facts. They are in line with the characteristics of "things" and are loyal to the logic of "emotions", vividly practicing "giving shape to things".
When a spring encounters a flat surface, it rushes forward; when it encounters rocks, it meanders around. It seems unrestrained, but in fact, every step follows the texture of the terrain. This "following the trend" is a respect for the "nature of things" and a calmness after understanding the rules.
This is just like spiritual practice. It's said that cultivators defy the will of Heaven, fighting for their lives. But in reality, are they truly competing with Heaven? They simply see through the essence of the laws of the Dao: spring birth and summer growth are laws, cold and heat follow rules. Understanding this, one won't force flowers to bloom in the dead of winter, nor will one hide ice in the height of summer...
The so-called "proper balance between tension and relaxation" means that when it is tight, it is like a spring hitting a rock, gathering momentum and releasing; when it is loose, it is like a stream flowing through a forest, following the flow. Between tension and relaxation, it all depends on the grasp of the invisible "Tao".
"Going with the flow" is never about following the crowd, but being at ease after understanding the "laws of the great way"; "tension and relaxation" is by no means about deliberate manipulation, but rather the natural rhythm when resonating with the laws.
Just like Su Shi's pen, it seems that his writing is free and unrestrained, but in fact every word is based on the nodes of truth and emotion - this may be the highest level of control: being unaware of the "control", but never deviating from the "Tao".
In this instant, Su Xiaoya suddenly realized that her cultivation had actually broken through to the great perfection of the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and her foundation was extremely solid.
If what the white-haired Mahayana cultivator said was true, and the Mahayana Dao fruit could be found on the floating island, then she would most likely be able to achieve success in one go and directly break through to the Mahayana stage.
Thinking of this, Su Xiaoya's heart began to beat rapidly. Whether it was a coincidence or the white-haired Mahayana cultivator had some ulterior motive, the fact was that she had truly benefited.
I never thought that one day I would reach the top of Qingyuan Star.
As expected, I am also a person who is unwilling to be ordinary.
So, very good! Very good!
What made her most ecstatic was that she found that her understanding of the rules of the Avenue of Time, the Avenue of Space, and the Avenue of Power was like a bright lamp lit in the dark night, becoming more and more profound. She believed that after breaking through the Mahayana stage, it would no longer be a dream to control the rules of the three avenues at will.
Especially being able to control the rules of the Avenue of Time, even a fool knows what this means.
Completely mastering the laws of time, one can wander in the long river of time.
Su Xiaoya was so excited just thinking about that scene. She also wondered if she could find the tributary belonging to Blue Star in the long river of time.
The long river of time should include the entire void, right?
The more Su Xiaoya thought about it, the more excited she became. She was originally indifferent to it, but now she couldn't wait to go to the floating island to find the Mahayana fruit.
Although this feeling of impatience could easily affect her judgment, but...
Su Xiaoya's lips curled slightly, and her eyes narrowed, "Who will win..."
Su Xiaoya lowered her eyes, composed herself, circulated her spiritual power, and in a flash she rushed towards the top of the floating island.
Along the way, she felt her current strength clearly as if it had been enlightened.
Sure enough, every time a high-level cultivator breaks through a small realm, the difference is as huge as a carp leaping over the dragon gate.
In a moment, she reached the top of the floating island.
Atop the floating island, a lake lay quietly. Its surface was like a meticulously polished sapphire, so clear it could reflect every wisp of the clouds in the sky. When the sun shone, golden dots danced across the water, as if the entire starry sky were shattered within it.
The lakeshore is not ordinary soil, but a circle of jade-white rocks, which surround the lake layer by layer. Tiny ice crystals are condensed on the edges, which emit a faint cold glow even under the sky, as if a clear silver edge has been inlaid on the clear water.
There seemed to be mist rising from the center of the lake, blurring the outline of the opposite bank, but making the dark blue appear even deeper, as if hiding the secret of the entire starry sky.
The lake exudes a mysterious aura, and the restrictions around it flow in the light and shadow, sometimes turning into a transparent wall of light that embraces the lake; sometimes a ripple-like halo appears, which complements the waves on the lake surface, making this peak lake look like a secret place isolated from the world, beautiful and pure with a hint of inviolable mystery.
Su Xiaoya stood quietly before the restriction, her eyes slightly closed, as if lost in thought. Her breathing was steady and long, as if she was completely absorbed in observing the restriction.
Time passed minute by minute, and Su Xiaoya remained quiet without any movement.
After careful observation, Su Xiaoya discovered that this restriction actually combined the power of both the Avenue of Time and the Avenue of Space! These two avenues of law intertwined with each other, forming an extremely complex and strict restriction.
Su Xiaoya was secretly amazed in her heart. Being able to integrate the Avenue of Time and the Avenue of Space so perfectly, the person who set up this restriction must be a powerful person who has mastered the laws of the Avenue of Time and Space.
She couldn't help but think of the two ancient witches, Di Jiang who controlled the Avenue of Space and Zhu Jiuyin who controlled the Avenue of Time. She wondered who was superior to this powerful man compared to them?
However, Su Xiaoya didn't dwell on this issue too much, and her attention quickly returned to the restriction in front of her. Now that she had seen through the operating rules of the restriction, now was the time to break it.
Su Xiaoya took a deep breath and formed hand seals with her hands as fast as the wind. Her movements were as natural as flowing water, and each hand seal contained endless mysteries.
As the handprints continued to change, Su Xiaoya's aura became stronger and stronger, as if it had produced a wonderful resonance with the surrounding space and time.
Just when Su Xiaoya was about to successfully break the ban, suddenly, a black shadow flashed out from the darkness like a ghost.
The black shadow was extremely fast, like lightning, and it pounced straight towards Su Xiaoya, like a hungry tiger, wanting to swallow her in one bite.
