Chapter 565: Chapter 208: Seeking the Truth of the Dao, Heaven and Earth is Unkind, So What!?(Requesting Monthly Tickets!!!)_3
For a short while, their minds were in turmoil. Chen Chen took another sip of tea, seemingly to calm his inner shock, before he leisurely began speaking.
“Before, Longevity Immortal City was not suitable for cultivation by those with Desolate Domain Bloodlines. The heavenly and earth rules of the Immortal Dynasties suppressed the cultivators from the Desolate Regions. Doesn’t that strike you as peculiar?”
Jin Quanxiu nodded. That was indeed one of the doubts in his mind. Otherwise, why couldn’t he progress in his cultivation?
If they had been able to cultivate normally in the Immortal City, perhaps his two disciples could have made a breakthrough in their realms, greatly increasing their lifespan and avoiding an untimely end.
“All this stems from the conflict between the Seeking Truth Lineage and the East Victory Immortal Dynasty! The Heavenly Dao of the East Victory Immortal Dynasty is more extreme compared to that of other Immortal Dynasties.
We, the Seeking Truth Lineage, pursue the truth of destiny, the truth of Heaven and Earth, the truth of the Great Dao, believing that everyone can achieve great success on the Immortal Path.
For example, the Church of All Beings in Longevity Immortal City is a philosophical branch of the Seeking Truth Lineage. They pursue the ideal of everyone being like a dragon, breaking through the heavenly shackles, and not being played by the Heaven and Earth.
Thus, our Seeking Truth Lineage follows personal will, not subjected to the control of Heaven and Earth, striving to seize power from them.
That’s why our physical training is different from other cultivators. Our Seeking Truth Lineage uses ourselves as vessels to pursue the end of the Great Dao. Everything we do is to obtain the authority of the Great Dao in order to seek the truth.
In simple terms, we believe that in Heaven and Earth, our pursuit of the Great Dao is the truth, while Heaven and Earth are illusory, deceptive; our fate is controlled by ourselves, not heaven.”
Chen Chen was somewhat impassioned at this point, and took another sip of tea to suppress the excitement in his heart before continuing.
“However, the East Victory Immortal Dynasty is different. No, it should be said that all the cultivators of other Immortal Dynasties are different! They believe that their fate is predetermined, and what they need for cultivation is the fortune granted by Heaven and Earth.
With Heaven and Earth’s fortune, they have a broad path. They fight too, but not for the truth of the Immortality Cultivation Path. They simply follow the so-called fortune of Heaven and Earth, never daring to break through the boundaries of Heaven and Earth in search of the truth.”
Upon hearing this, Jin Quanxiu and Zhou Ning were somewhat dumbfounded. Could it be that the entire Seeking Truth Lineage was composed of madmen?
Of course, the Heavenly Dao was their cultivation goal, but they couldn’t imagine directly overthrowing the Heaven and Earth, and seeking their personal path above them?
Even Jin Quanxiu, who came from the Desolate Regions, was only pursuing his own fortune, hoping to obtain an opportunity from Heaven and Earth. They had never thought of breaking the Heavenly and Earth Rules.
If their ancestors from the Desolate Regions had truly been part of the Seeking Truth Lineage, they would have been extremely audacious, daring to contend with Heaven and Earth.
Seeing their expressions, Chen Chen naturally knew what they were thinking, and without further contemplation, he asked another question.
“Even if you come from the Desolate Regions, don’t you know that the cultivation of ancient methods in the past did not require the assistance of elixirs to break through bottlenecks? When has that ever been the case?”
Jin Quanxiu and Zhou Ning nodded. Whether it was the Desolate Regions or the Immortal Cities, ancient records mentioned drastic transformations of ancient times. After the ancient changes, ancient techniques could no longer be practiced, because the bottleneck was too great; even gifted children would have no chance of success.
“So, why can’t that be the case now? Have you ever thought about it?”
Upon hearing this, Jin Quanxiu and Zhou Ning were rendered speechless. Chen Chen suddenly stood up.
“Do you feel that we are going against the natural order? Yet, below the Holy Land, we still exist. Isn’t it possible that some people within the Holy Land might agree with this possibility?”
“Heaven and Earth are unkind, treating everything like expendable dogs. So why not grant us the right to seek truth? The Seeking Truth Lineage pursues the truth of the Great Dao, where everyone can become immortals and achieve enlightenment.”
“This is Seeking the Truth!”
At this moment, several people at different locations within the Immortal City looked towards Chen Chen’s direction, their expressions complicated.
One was the City Lord Mansion.
Another was Liang Sheng’s Mansion.
And the last one was the wonton stall.
An elderly Taoist was seated at the wonton stall, before he was enjoying a hearty meal with gusto.
At this moment, however, he set down his bowl, a complicated look in his eyes.
“Seeking truth? But that’s just a path to self-destruction, isn’t it?”
