Chapter 43: Beating (Part 2)
Jiang Yuebai nodded and shook her head at the same time. "Ye Shiming is not a bad person, so I don't think body possession was his intention. However, his memories have indeed affected me. I was thinking of going to the library to see if there's any solution."
Li Jiuchuan let out a sigh of relief. He had thought that Jiang Yuebai was upset because she was being punished at Tiankui Peak, but it turned out she was just troubled by this matter. He felt like he had waited here unnecessarily.
"The solution is simple. You just need to do something you've always wanted to do but didn't dare to. Set yourself free and strengthen your sense of self," Li Jiuchuan advised.
"Something I've always wanted to do but didn't dare to?" Jiang Yuebai blinked, pondering carefully.
"As for the influence of Ye Shiming, you don't have to resist it blindly. Not everything about his character and actions is bad. Accept what you agree with openly, and if you disagree, take it as a lesson," Li Jiuchuan continued.
"He has rich experiences, and he has his own mature and stable aspects in dealing with people and matters. Select the best and ignore the rest. Maintain a broad and natural state of mind. It's better than constantly resisting," Jiang Yuebai nodded, as if this made sense.
"In addition, there's a collection of 'Turtle Shell Mantras' in the library. Exchange for the 'Solidify Soul' spell. Engrave it in your sea of consciousness every day with your divine sense. Over time, this will stabilize your soul and strengthen your sea of consciousness defense. If any external evil spirits invade in the future, you'll be able to resist and defend yourself, giving you time to react."
"Thank you, Elder Li. I was just worried about this."
"Since I have nothing else to do, I'll escort you to the Internal Affairs Hall."
Li Jiuchuan took out a roll of white jade bamboo slips and tossed it into the air. The bamboo slips unfolded slowly, revealing their pristine, translucent quality and exuding an ethereal aura.
Both of them sat on the bamboo slips and slowly drifted toward the direction of Tiankui Peak.
Unable to contain her curiosity, Jiang Yuebai asked, "Elder Li, do you ever feel sorry for Ye Shiming? He suffered for a thousand years without justice, while Lin Jingyue embarked on the path to immortality, leaving him behind. Is the celestial way truly unfair?"
Li Jiuchuan glanced at Jiang Yuebai. Her young age didn't prevent her from being remarkably knowledgeable, likely due to her extensive experiences. Furthermore, she had been influenced by Ye Shiming and had experienced another lifetime, making it impossible for him to see her as just a child.
"Many things in this world are not about right or wrong but rather about different perspectives. The grudges between Ye Shiming and Lin Jingyue are their own issues, and it's not for outsiders to judge. But if you say the celestial way is unfair, it's not entirely accurate."
Intrigued, Jiang Yuebai leaned forward with bright eyes.
"If you were to see the records of Five Flavors Mountain Hermit when she formed her Core, Nascent Soul, and even when she ascended to Deity, you would understand the depths of her inner demons. Each crucial juncture she faced was a matter of life and death, and her tribulations were more perilous than those of ordinary cultivators. She once mentioned a hundred thousand grudges, and now I understand why."
"But what does that matter? She still succeeded in becoming a Deity, which means she felt no guilt or regret. She's heartless and ruthless," Jiang Yuebai argued.
Li Jiuchuan chuckled. "It's not quite like that. If she had no guilt or regret, she wouldn't have inner demons. She survived each time because of the people's devotion to Yun Nation. She fought for Yun Nation for half her life, becoming a war goddess and having war temples erected in her honor across the land. How could a hundred thousand grudges compare to the million incense offerings from Yun Nation's people?"
"In the grand scheme of things, there's a cycle of cause and effect, and it's predetermined. You've already been influenced by Ye Shiming, and there's no harm in asking yourself this: if Ye Shiming led a hundred thousand soldiers into battle, unaffected by Lin Jingyue's influence, would he have definitely defeated Yun Nation's invincible army?"
Jiang Yuebai was taken aback. Yes, she had always felt that Ye Shiming was deceived by Lin Jingyue, which led to the destruction of a hundred thousand soldiers. However, in reality, Ye Shiming had given his all in that battle.
In some corner of his memories, there was a thought.
Lead a hundred thousand soldiers and betray the country!
The situation was indeed complex, and fate had its way of playing tricks.
Jiang Yuebai's mind cleared, but she still felt that Ye Shiming had a few screws loose in his head. Nobody could change her opinion on that.
"When they were young, blinded by love, they couldn't see the bigger picture. Some managed to break free from their desires and transcend them, while others clung to their desires even at the cost of their lives. Ye Shiming belongs to the former, and Lin Jingyue belongs to the latter."
"What about you?"
Li Jiuchuan smiled faintly, glanced in the direction of Tiankui Peak, then withdrew his gaze and sped toward the heavens.
"In a few days, I'll be in seclusion to stabilize my cultivation. If you have any questions about your cultivation, write them down, and you can ask me when I come out."
"Alright."
