Five Frozen Centuries

Chapter 214 - The Truth



Chapter 214: The Truth

Wei Huo thrust his sword at the woman’s glabella. The sword carried the aura of nirvanic extermination and headed straight for the woman’s glabella. He could definitely kill her as long as he stabbed her.

However, at that critical moment, Wei Huo stopped. The tip of the Cold Light Sword stopped at the woman’s glabella and almost pierced her.

Wei Huo had stopped because he had seen the woman’s expression.

“This is just a mark left in my subconscious. It’s not really a person from my previous life,” Wei Huo said.

However, the woman said, “Dao begets One, One begets Two, Two begets Three. Everything in the world is connected. The returning point is also the same ‘One’. Although it’s a brand in the hearts of others, it has countless connections with the original owner. If you don’t kill me, you will meet her sooner or later.”

Wei Huo frowned. The woman’s words were too mysterious. They involved secrets of the soul.

Some people often dreamed of a person and thought that they were their dream lover. They believed that it was fake, but one day, they saw the same person in reality. This was not rare.

Wei Huo thought about it for a moment and said something confusing. “I’m not him. I’m me. My previous life has nothing to do with me. My next life is very far away from me. I should jump out and become an independent version of myself. That way, I won’t lose my intelligence or get reincarnated.”

The golden armor was confused when it saw Wei Huo’s deep enlightenment. It wanted to understand, but it could not. It did not know what it was missing. However, in the end, it realized that it was brainless compared to humans.

“One has to use one’s brain to comprehend the Dao!” The golden armor sighed. It was fine if it did not have legs, but it would be too painful if it did not have a brain.

Wei Huo slashed with his sword and cut through time and space. His realm had improved again. A casual swing of his sword could cut through time and space.

Moments later, Wei Huo understood that this was not because he had the power to cut through time and space. It was because the fifth level was similar to a dream. Appearances came from the heart, and everything around him was a subconscious manifestation. At that moment, he realized that he was dreaming, so the dream was about to be over.

“Without the birth of a single thought, no other thought is produced.”

Without any thoughts, he entered the state of True Silence. There was nothing in his heart. This was the state necessary to refine Qi into God.

Why did one have to possess great courage and perseverance to cultivate? One had to possess great courage and perseverance to sever one’s thoughts and enter a state of no thoughts? Cultivators said that meditating was like a jade elephant crossing a river. One had to sever one’s thoughts and achieve True Silence by oneself.

The fifth level was a Magical Mirror. It reflected Wei Huo’s heart and his past life. He had to use his courage to cut everything in order to shatter the Magical Mirror and return to the True Self Realm.

Wei Huo suddenly understood that he had made a mistake by using violence to clear the first three levels. In fact, the ninth level of Kunlun Mountain was not dangerous. Even an ordinary person could understand it layer by layer.

The person who created the nine-level checkpoint actually came up with such an idea to leave behind Daoism. It’s really not simple!

Appearances came from the heart, and Wei Huo now understood everything. The fifth level gradually melted, and Wei Huo slowly rose into the air. He was not flying up himself, but a force was pulling him up.

Wei Huo felt like he was at the bottom of the sea. At the moment, he was floating toward the surface of the sea. Soon, he saw a gigantic iceberg.

There was a huge iceberg under the sea. It was extremely big, and its height far exceeded the highest peak in the world. Its body was also extremely huge, and it was even larger than the biggest mountain in the world. Wei Huo gradually floated up until the entire image appeared. On the surface of the sea was a small iceberg. It was hundreds of meters tall and tens of meters wide. It looked extremely ordinary, but no one could imagine how huge the iceberg hidden under the sea was.

The relationship between the iceberg and the sea was very interesting. If the temperature rose, the iceberg would melt and the sea level would increase. If the temperature decreased, the iceberg would grow stronger and the sea level would decrease.

Sometimes, it would rain. Occasionally, water vapor would evaporate on the surface of the sea. Wei Huo came to a realization.

The rain was essence, the sea was Qi, and the iceberg was God. This was just a metaphor. However, the relationship and transformation method between them were not too different from essence, energy, and spirits. The iceberg started melting and the seawater started evaporating, maintaining a dynamic balance until the iceberg melted.

On the other hand, refining Qi into God was the exact opposite. In the end, the iceberg kept growing and people lived longer.

That was the logic of becoming a human and becoming an immortal.

Of course, the iceberg and the sea were just an analogy. Wei Huo calmed down and all the phenomena disappeared.

When Wei Huo opened his eyes again, he saw a gigantic mechanical empire. At that moment, he was standing on a steel path. Two lines were drawn on the road. One line was red with a ‘+’, and the other was blue with a ‘-‘.

Upon seeing the two symbols, Wei Huo thought of a battery. The two symbols on a battery represented the positive terminal and negative terminal.

“Is this the sixth level?” Wei Huo was confused.

The golden armor came back to its senses as well. It checked the jade pendant on its waist and the pearl in its helmet. Upon seeing that both of them were there, it let out a sigh of relief. “Indeed, the fifth level is the Truth Mirror. It can turn the truth into reality. Who are you?”

As the golden armor spoke, it suddenly realized that there was another person standing behind Wei Huo. It was a girl around 16 years old. She was dressed in black and had short black hair. Her left eye was as red as blood, and her right eye was as black as night. Appearance-wise, she looked exactly the same as the girl who had tried to assassinate Wei Huo. The girl did not have any presence at all. It was unknown how long she had been following them. That was why the golden armor was shocked.

The golden armor also felt confused. However, it understood a moment later and asked, “Are you the mark in Wei Huo’s subconscious?”

The golden armor usually called Wei Huo by his name. It only called him Big Brother when it needed his help.

Wei Huo was also observing the 16-year-old girl. He noticed that her face was stiff and she was silent. Her eyes were cold. She was wearing the black clothes that ancient assassins often wore. Her fair neck and jade-like hands were exposed. Her hands were beautiful, but there was definitely a dagger hidden in her sleeve.

Wei Huo had not expected the fifth level to be so mysterious. It had turned a mark in his subconscious into a real person. It was unbelievable.

The golden armor clicked its tongue in wonder. “Who can tell me about your relationship? Are you the same person or a father and daughter?”

Wei Huo observed the girl for a long time and said, “This is a relationship between one’s consciousness and the subconscious, isn’t it? It’s said that I can turn into the Three Pure Ones with just one move. That’s actually a transformation skill, right?”

Wei Huo was not sure. The fifth level was too terrifying. He even thought of redoing the fifth level.

The golden armor was regretful. “What a pity! If you had known that the fifth level could switch between reality and the virtual, you could have imagined a few more Legendary weapons or projected a few subconscious imprints. You could have pictured all the ancient concubines and beautiful women you met in real life. Then, you could have built a huge harem!”

Wei Huo only said one word. “Scram!”

A place like the fifth level of Kunlun Mountain could only be found by chance. How could it be used like this?

The golden armor looked at Wei Huo and the girl and smacked its lips. “This relationship is too complicated!”
