Evil Master and Disciple

Chapter 1353 Are you really on the shore?

Li Ruoxi's voice sounded somewhat desolate, and her expression also seemed rather helpless.

If Zhang Qingyun were here at this moment, he would be extremely shocked.

Because he had been with Li Ruoxi for hundreds of years, he had never seen this strong woman so frustrated and helpless.

The nun Jinghui poured the tea gently and said softly, "It is said that there are three thousand great worlds and thirty-six thousand small worlds in the universe, and the world that connects these worlds is the underworld."

Each world may seem to exist independently, but they are actually connected by the underworld.

So what if you come from Earth? It's just one of many worlds in the universe, just like the world before you.

We Buddhists believe in reincarnation. I believe that many people in this world will be reincarnated into the world you came from after death.

Similarly, there are people from that world who are reincarnated into this world after they die.

Just like Ye Feng, he was born on Earth in his previous life, just like you, and now he's come to this world too, hasn't he?

Ruoxi, since Heaven has brought you into this world, you should accept your destiny and live a good life in this world. Why do you insist on returning to your original world?

That night at the Star Gazing Tower in the capital, I finally understood that the Earth world and this world are two completely different worlds. This world is mainly about cultivating immortality, while the Earth world has no cultivators and focuses on investigating things.

If you were to truly return to your original world, it might affect the fate of billions of lives in both worlds. Do you really want to see both worlds devastated?

Li Ruoxi's eyes flashed, and she said, "The Way of Heaven is unique. Whether it is technology or cultivation, they are all forms of the Way of Heaven, and in the end, they will all lead to the same destination."

Over the years, what I've wanted to do is combine technology with the cultivation of immortality.

"Really? You have no other selfish motives? Actually, even if you don't say it, I know that the power you have secretly cultivated in the human world over the years is enormous, covering almost every sect and faction in the human world, including our Buddhist sect."

You've spent so many years painstakingly building your power, sparing no effort in searching for a way to reach Earth, is it really just to combine technology and cultivation to prove that all paths to the Dao lead to the same destination? I don't think so.

Jinghui Shenni is a very insightful person.

How could she not know what Li Ruoxi was thinking?

The idea that technology and cultivation are combined is a lie.

Going back to reunite with family is also a lie.

What Li Ruoxi truly desires is this universe.

Heaven, human world, and earth.

These three worlds are interconnected.

Li Ruoxi is different from other cultivators; her lifespan is almost infinite.

Since she has lived for more than two thousand years, there is no problem for her to live for another two thousand or even twenty thousand years.

Perhaps the love and family ties of the Earthly world are what bind Li Ruoxi, making it difficult for her to let go for over two thousand years.

But this wasn't the main reason Li Ruoxi wanted to go back.

Time heals all wounds.

This includes both romantic love and familial love.

Li Ruoxi lived in the Heavenly Realm for several hundred years and in the mortal world for two thousand four hundred years.

Over such a long period of time, she actually had very few memories of her relatives who were still alive on Earth.

She was only relying on some images in that so-called cell phone to force herself not to forget that she was a human from Earth and that she had relatives in the Earth world.

This small obsession was not enough to keep Li Ruoxi searching for the way back, nor would it have allowed her to spend a thousand years in the mortal world cultivating a power that belonged only to her.

She wanted to connect the celestial realm, the human world, and the Earth.

Then, she became the supreme being of these three worlds.

Li Ruoxi looked at the calm-looking nun Jinghui.

She did not answer Jinghui's question immediately.

Instead, he walked to the stone table, gently picked up a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing that Li Ruoxi seemed to be avoiding the topic, Jinghui said calmly, "Although I rarely go down the mountain, I am still a member of the Buddhist community. I have received some news these past few days. There was a battle of magic in northern Jizhou not long ago, which was done by Lingtai. It should be related to you."

Li Ruoxi nodded slowly upon hearing this and said, "The monks of Lingtai Temple used Chu Liunian as bait. I sent people to rescue Liunian, but they were ambushed by Buddhist masters. Not only did I lose many masters, but one of my special envoys was also captured by Lingtai Temple."

Jinghui said, "I thought you would find an excuse to brush this matter aside, or that you wouldn't tell me the truth, or at least not the whole truth. I didn't expect you to not deceive me in this matter."

Li Ruoxi sat on the stone bench, picked up a cup of tea, drank it, and then gently twirled the small teacup between her fingers.

She said, "Since you know what happened in Jizhou a few days ago, and you said it to my face, it means you already know the inside story. Why should I lie to you?"

Oh, Jinghui, don't be fooled by my seemingly glamorous life. My situation is actually far more dangerous than it appears.

You're right. Over the years, I have indeed been secretly building up my power, and I have indeed controlled many sects, including the Jade Maiden Sect, one of the leaders of the righteous path in the human world, which is under my complete control.

For hundreds of years, no faction has ever been aware of my existence.

But things are different now. Last time, Shen Lin of the Yunhai Sect arrested many of us, and by pulling out the radish, he brought me, who had been hiding behind the scenes, into the public eye.

Now, many major sects of the righteous path, as well as those major sects of the demonic sect, know that I am here, and they also know that I have people in their sects. Now, the sects have secretly joined forces, intending to take action against me.

"If it were just one or two sects, I wouldn't be afraid. But facing so many sects, I truly have no power to resist. If this matter isn't handled properly, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape this calamity."

Jinghui Shenni nodded slowly and said, "Even if you can handle it well, the cultivators you have painstakingly cultivated over the years will suffer heavy losses."

Neither the righteous nor the demonic factions will give you another chance to rise again. Your years of scheming have ultimately amounted to nothing more than a fleeting dream. Since that's the case, why cling to it? This humble nun believes you should take this opportunity to withdraw. With your cultivation level, as long as you don't want to be discovered, no one can find you. Wouldn't it be wonderful to be carefree and at ease? The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore…”

Li Ruoxi gently shook her head and said, "Jinghui, you are a nun who has transcended worldly desires and is detached from worldly affairs. I am not a nun; I am still in the mortal world. We have different perspectives on things, and our pursuits and beliefs are also different."

How do you know that your shore is a shore, and my shore is the sea?

Besides, are you really on the shore?
