Chapter 923: Chapter 57 Light Chapter 923: Chapter 57 Light What is life?

In the celestial civilization culture that Link understood, there were primarily three main points regarding the discourse on “life”:
The paths of Qian transform and each determine one’s life.

Nature is the innate quality, like the differences between hardness and softness, slowness and swiftness; while destiny is what people receive, like the distinctions between nobility and lowliness, the lengths of life allotted.

What creatures receive is their nature, and what Heaven bestows is their destiny.

Simplifying it, life is the innate abilities and characteristics that all things possess at birth.

What was so special about Link’s Life Light that warranted the Element Sage to specifically visit, try to acquire it, and then promptly give feedback?

After much thought, the only point Link could consider was his True Spirit’s origin–how he had traveled through the universe borne on one of two beams of light, descending into the Wizard civilization.

The greatest use of the bit of Life Light taken from him by the Element Sage was likely to find the other beam of light or to do something to it.

As for using that bit of Life Light to deal with Link Grande, whether now or in the future, Link believed it to be impossible.

Even if Link were to ascend to a Saint as Mr. Xu Jing optimistically projected, it would not be possible for him to immediately become a match for these veteran Saints like the Element Sage.

Didn’t you see Mitchell exhausting so much effort, finally switching his cultivation in the Parallel Universe, and ascending to a Celestial Master, equivalent to a Saint Position, only to find himself ensnared by the ways of the Supreme Council and the Celestial Court?

Although he became a Celestial Master and acquired the Saint Position, thereby eliminating his worries about his lifespan, his freedom was simultaneously lost.

This freedom wasn’t a matter of physical liberty but the freedom of will.

Bound by agreements with the Celestial Court and the schemes of the Supreme Council and Celestial Court, Mitchell found himself without control over the vast majority of affairs, especially those involving the interests between the celestial civilization and the Wizard civilization, as well as the differences between the Celestial Court and the Supreme Council.

With such a precedent, if there truly were a chance to become a Saint, Link did not believe he could avoid the many calculations involved.

This was not a matter of confidence or inferiority but of rational consideration.

As numerous thoughts rapidly flickered through his mind, Link did not show any expression on his face and calmly counter-questioned Mr. Xu Jing, “And then?”

Mr. Xu Jing smiled without saying anything more.

The loud drum needs no heavy hammer to be heard.

A proper hint is sufficient.

To say more, to overstate, would be less beautiful.

The compartment of the vehicle fell silent in an instant.

The transportation vehicle sped toward the next destination, with the magnificent scenery overhead streaming in reverse outside the window.

Mr. Xu Jing turned his head to look, deeply fascinated, as he truly admired the different scenery.

Link’s expression remained blank as he stared ahead, though his thoughts had already flown to the Stormy Sea.

Since the Human Immortal Martial World and the little isle in the Stormy Sea had anchored together, the processes of integration and expansion never ceased.

The tiny isle that originally revealed only its tip, barely allowing for Link’s foothold, rose visibly. The area revealed above the sea’s surface gradually increased.

The recent decision to allow Conelia to enter the “Sun” within the Sea of Consciousness Little World to slumber, and Athena to enter the “Sun” within the Human Immortal Martial World to slumber, further accelerated the isle’s rising and expansion.

The area of the isle now visible above the sea was about one square mile.

A new change occurred.

Since the Human Immortal Martial World became Link’s Destiny World, he was able to summon objects and people from it.

Objects were easy to deal with; you just had to use them within the “shelf life.”

People, however, could only stay temporarily and could not remain long in the domains enveloped by the will of the Wizard World.

After the period of stay passed, they would often be assimilated by the will of the Wizard World.

Those with good luck might manage to obtain something akin to a “stateless” status and continue existing.

Those less fortunate would fade away, becoming nourishment for the Wizard World.

For these reasons, and because there was no need to involve them in any battles, Link had not summoned his master from the Human Immortal Martial World, Master Li Shuwen.

The new change alleviated Link’s concern.

From now on, Link could grant three permanent spots for natives of his Destiny World to stay within the domains under the will of the Wizard World.

Link, set to face his “predestined fate,” naturally preferred to have more power in hand.

With the Human Immortal Martial World’s limit raised to a level six sage, Li Shuwen, a Human Immortal Martial Artist of the God Seeing Realm, also had the opportunity to touch the higher “Sixth Realm.”

Shallow waters cannot raise a dragon.

For Li Shuwen, staying in the Human Immortal Martial World, relying on his natural talent and comprehension, might allow him to achieve the Sixth Realm in his lifetime, given enough time.

But that would be too slow, too wasteful of life.

If Li Shuwen were willing to leave the Human Immortal Martial World, leap out of that well, and come to a broader world, experience more impressive vistas, and learn more extensive knowledge, it would definitely shorten this time.

Concerning this, in his earlier communication with Franda, Link had already had Franda approach Master Li Shuwen to inquire about his master’s attitude and decision.

Li Shuwen did not decide alone, but after obtaining Link’s consent, he shared the matter with his wife for discussion.

A woman with a small-minded temperament cannot restrain a man like Li Shuwen.

The result of the discussion was, naturally, to give Li Shuwen free rein to bravely venture out.

The family and the Martial Arts School affairs no longer needed Li Shuwen’s attention; he was free from worries.

Thus, Link’s next destination was that isle in the Stormy Sea.

If it were just for a brief stay, Link could summon Li Shuwen right now.
