Chapter 1173: Don’t Forget Your Original Intention (1)

Editor: Henyee Translations

Shen Ping stayed in the dark river for more than a hundred years, which was an incomparably long time. Yet he still had not comprehended the laws of time.

Shen Ping knew that he was not suitable to walk the path of the dark river. So he returned to the Mother Chaos River. He looked at the dazzling chaos in the Upper River Zone, and could not help but sigh. Now, there was only one path left, and that was to find an opportunity from the past.

To be honest, he has no idea at all. So he could only seek guidance from the elders of the Primordial Palace again. The other party had been in the past for a long time and should have some experience in this aspect.

The elder of the Primordial Palace was not surprised by Shen Ping’s arrival. Any Primordial Chaos Realm cultivator who wanted to comprehend the Laws of Time would eventually walk these paths. Unfortunately, other than the three leaders of the Primordial Palace, Black River Hall, and the Heavenly River Peak, none of them succeeded.

“Nine Provinces, since you’ve decided to return to the past, then forget your present, forget everything. At our level, the reason why we can’t find an opportunity is because we stand too high and look too far ahead. No matter what situation or environment we are in, it’s very difficult to find our original intentions. If we want our past, present, and future to reach the one and only, perhaps the most important thing is to find that common ground.”

Shen Ping was silent for a moment. “Find your original intention. Elder, do you mean that your original intention is the common point?”

The elder of the Primordial Palace nodded. “Many Primordial Chaos Realm cultivators don’t think much of it because no one will care about the original intention. However, in the depths of our true spirit’s memories, the original intention is the only common point left. I tried, but I failed.”

Shen Ping listened attentively.

The Primordial Palace elder continued, “In the past, I abandoned all senses and even chose to seal my true spirit. Still, it’s useless. As long as we have a trace of true spirit, it’s difficult for us to truly experience the past. From the moment we went back in time, we were using our own rules.

“I couldn’t really abandon it, so it was naturally difficult to find my original intention. Even if I found it, it was what I thought was my original intention. Therefore, I failed. Not only that, but the other elders also failed.”

He looked at Shen Ping. “Therefore, if you want to find your original intention, you have to be truly free of distractions and have a clear mind. With your current body, current thoughts, and even future thoughts, you have to fuse with your past.

“Only in this way can one achieve the one and only. To understand the remaining ten percent of the Laws of Time, it is to find oneself. In the process of finding one’s original intention, one can find oneself. This self exists in the past, the present, and even more so in the future.”

Shen Ping was a little confused, but he understood what the Primordial Palace elder meant. Not only did the River of Time exist in the present, but it had always existed. The power of laws within it was in the present, in the future, and even in the past.

The so-called regaining one’s original intention and self was to fuse these rules.

Shen Ping returned to the Nine Provinces Chaos. He began his long seclusion in the palace. Five years pa.s.sed before he got ready. He used a trace of his true spirit to turn back time and return to the past.

…

Nine Continents Tower.

Southern Flame Continent.

Fire Toad Cave.

Twelve countries, Wei Kingdom.

By a crescent lake fifty kilometers away from the Golden Sun Sect was the territory of the va.s.sal family, the Shen family. As a trace of true spirit descended, Shen Ping, who was cultivating near the spiritual spring, slowly opened his eyes.

This time, he chose to go back to the day he had just transmigrated and fuse his true spirit with his soul. However, he did not seal his memories. Instead, he descended with everything in the Primordial Chaos Realm.

Just as the Primordial Palace elder had said, even if he abandoned everything, it’s also in the workings of the rules. He could not really experience the past and regain his original intention. Since that was the case, he might as well experience it through the descent of his true spirit.

Shen Ping had experienced this kind of situation many times in Realm Sea Peak’s palace. He did not know whether he could regain his original intention, but he only wanted to give it a try.

If this approach fails too, he could only give up on the idea of finding himself and entering the door of the source. When the time came, he would obediently become an elder of the Primordial Palace and live a carefree life.

After all, at his level, it could be considered a true longevity.

The moment he opened his eyes, the distant memories hidden in the depths of his true spirit surged into his mind. He might not have remembered the appearances of the Shen family members sitting around him, but now, they were all revealed in front of him.

They were seizing every moment to absorb the abundant spiritual energy near the spiritual spring to improve themselves. If he remembered correctly, this cultivation was also the last cultivation he had in the Shen family.

Shen Ping did not change anything. He closed his eyes again, and allowed the four-element impure spiritual root to slowly absorb spiritual energy.

Four hours later, the cultivation was over. Some people were happy, while others were sad. As an Immortal, Shen Ping was neither happy nor sad. His true spirit could not sense any emotions at all. Even if the world collapsed in the next moment, it would not cause any ripples in his heart.

“Ping’er, your foundation is average. I’m afraid that you won’t be able to reach Foundation Establishment in this lifetime. The clan has limited resources and can’t provide for every clan member. After the discussion with the elders, they’re going to send you to the Cloudy Mountain Swamp to explore with the Golden Sun Sect. Perhaps you’ll have your own immortal encounter there.”

Listening to these familiar words that he had not heard for a long time, Shen Ping was silent for a moment before saying, “Uncle, the Golden Sun Sect is destined to be in danger. There are many ordinary people in the clan with ordinary apt.i.tude and spiritual roots. Will all of them go this time?”
