Chapter 535 Your Rebirth Is No Coincidence!
"No need for such formalities, everyone." Shen Yun nodded slightly.
"I came here only to see Zhang Taisui."
'They've actually come to find the Holy Son?!' After exchanging glances, the leading senior brother from the Holy Land cupped his hands and said:
"This junior will take you there immediately, senior!"
The higher-ups of the Ziwei Sacred Land were quite sensible; knowing that Shen Yun was only there to see Zhang Taisui, no one went up to bother him.
But everyone's attention was focused on Zhang Taisui's cave.
When Shen Yun arrived at the cave dwelling in the mountains, the tightly closed door slowly opened.
Zhang Taisui, who hadn't left his house for several days, looked somewhat pale and his blood and energy seemed a bit weak.
"I never expected that Senior Shen would come here in person."
He bowed and stood up, only to see Shen Yun smiling as he said:
I thought you would run away.
"This..." Zhang Taisui looked puzzled. "Why should I run?"
Shen Yun shook his head, sat down in the nearby pavilion, and took out a pot of tea for himself.
"I've come all this way in person, so you don't need to put on an act anymore, right?"
Upon hearing this, the bewilderment on Zhang Taisui's face vanished. After sitting down in front of Shen Yun, he chuckled and said:
"So, having him come to see you has revealed my intentions?"
The voice was still Zhang Taisui's, but the tone of his words suddenly changed, leaving the powerful figures from the Ziwei Holy Land who were observing the scene completely baffled.
They could see Zhang Taisui wave his hand to seal the heavens and earth, cutting off their view, and the expressions of the powerful figures changed slightly:
"What is Tai Sui doing?!"
"Huh?! Tai Sui only recently became a saint, yet he can block my detection?!"
At this moment, an aged sigh echoed through the forbidden area of the sacred land:
"Perhaps, Tai Sui is no longer Tai Sui."
"What?!" The powerful figures instantly arrived at the cave dwelling of the patriarch of the Ziwei Sacred Land, looking at the old man with puzzled expressions:
"Ancestor, what makes you say such a thing?!"
"Could it be that I've truly been possessed by a demon within myself?!"
The old man slowly opened his eyes and looked around at everyone:
"Please be patient. Now that Senior Shen has arrived, let's see what happens next."
The possession by a demon is a rare occurrence for geniuses like Zhang Taisui.
Because such extraordinary individuals possess an unwavering Dao heart, making them difficult to be influenced by external factors.
But his sudden disappearance a few days ago likely meant he encountered something serious, and his screams during his seclusion after returning made everyone think that there was a problem with his cultivation.
For someone of Shen Yun's stature to personally visit the Ziwei Sacred Land now is likely no small matter!
However, their cultivation levels were too low to help Zhang Taisui; they could only observe the situation unfold...
In the pavilion on the back hill.
Zhang Taisui poured himself a cup of tea, and after savoring it carefully, a look of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing reflection, emotion, and reflection) appeared on his face:
"Don't laugh at me, but this is the first time I've tasted something from a living creature, and it's a very strange feeling."
"It's just ordinary tea with a little spiritual energy, a gift from a teahouse owner. Cultivators don't care about such things," Shen Yun said with a smile.
"For cultivators, only things that can improve their cultivation level are worth savoring. If something is useless, no one will care about it."
Zhang Taisui pondered his words carefully and suddenly realized:
"Are you saying that I'm standing too high up, curious about everything, and ignoring the hardships that cultivators at the bottom have to endure to climb up?"
"You're half right," Shen Yun said calmly, looking at him.
"You treat all living beings as pawns to help you attain enlightenment and reach the void. Isn't that exactly how cultivators treat this cup of tea?"
Curiosity is the beginning of the budding of emotions.
Perhaps this is why the natural order fosters self-awareness.
But to the Heavenly Dao, all living beings are like a cultivator to a cup of ordinary tea.
If something can be used, it's a chess piece; it doesn't matter how many die.
"You think it's unfair to these cultivators?" Zhang Taisui laughed.
“I give them resources, opportunities for promotion, and extended lifespans; I give them desires they've never had before. And all I seek is to prove the Dao of Nothingness—what's wrong with that?!”
"From your perspective, of course you're right." Shen Yun shrugged.
"Every man for himself, and everyone has his own path; it's a personal choice which way to go."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Taisui continued his sentence;
"So it all comes down to who wins and who loses in the end, right?"
Seeing that Shen Yun remained silent and tacitly agreed, he stroked the teacup and began to talk about the events in the Myriad Races Continent instance:
“I sent Zhang Taisui to get close to you to see if you would kill him directly for the fragment. Obviously, you have pity and will not kill him just because he is Feng Qingkuang’s successor, so I took the opportunity to parasitize him.”
He thought he could evade Shen Yun's detection, but unexpectedly, the other party came knocking on his door.
Shen Yun took a sip of tea, his tone indifferent:
"That's because he didn't provoke me."
Killing was easy for Shen Yun, but he always held onto one principle:
Having ability is one's own skill, but one cannot use it to indiscriminately kill innocent people.
A true strong person needs to restrain their abilities, rather than abusing them to kill the innocent in order to demonstrate their strength.
Of course, if Zhang Taisui offends him and Qingxue, he will take action the moment they meet.
Just like that whirlwind, Shen Yun defeated his opponent in a single exchange.
No matter what deep-seated grudges she may have, the enemy's fate is to be annihilated!
He lives because he is strong; if he were weak and arrogant, he would have been wiped out long ago. It's that simple.
"I'm curious, how did you guess that I was leaning over Zhang Taisui?" Zhang Taisui asked, puzzled.
No, it should now be called the Way of Heaven!
"Of all the cultivators in the myriad realms who can enter this instance, only ten have managed to do so, yet he encountered me?" Shen Yun raised an eyebrow.
"Some things are too coincidental to be called coincidences."
At this point, he looked at the Heavenly Dao with curiosity:
"If you had given cultivators hundreds of millions more slots back then, I might have overlooked this."
This is the truth, and it's also why he's curious as to why the Heavenly Dao made a mistake in this matter.
The Heavenly Dao's expression vanished. He calmly poured himself a cup of tea and transmitted his voice softly:
So, do you think your rebirth was also a coincidence?
'Huh?!' Shen Yun was startled.
His greatest secret is that he was reborn!
But Heaven uses the coincidence of Zhang Taisui's encounter with him to imply that his rebirth was not a coincidence at all?!
Even Shen Yun's state of mind was stirred by the fact that it concerned his own life.
But he knew that Heaven must have a reason for releasing this bombshell news!
really!
The Heavenly Dao slowly spoke:
"If I tell you, will you let me go?"
Shen Yun squinted at him, her thoughts racing.
To him, Heaven was undoubtedly someone he had to kill!
This guy targeted me several times; if he hadn't been strong enough, he would have perished long ago.
He desperately wanted to know the secret of rebirth, which plunged him into silence.
Heaven is not in a hurry; it patiently waits for the answer.
After a long while, Shen Yun suddenly smiled smugly:
"I almost fell for your psychological manipulation. No matter why I was reborn, none of that matters. I am who I am now, and it has nothing to do with the past."
With his caution and quick wit, he roughly guessed who he was!
His identity is very likely that of one of the three great prodigies of the Myriad Races Continent back then, the Demon Lord!
This idea arose precisely because of what is called a coincidence.
Don't forget, Shen Yun had previously visited the blessed land of the Witch Clan and saw a mount similar to Xu Xiaoqiang's blue ox.
Moreover, after inheriting the complete legacy of the Demon Lord, he always felt an indescribable sense of comfort!
At first, he thought it was a characteristic of evil cultivators from the demon race and didn't pay much attention to it.
Looking back now, he was very likely the Demon Lord back then!
He didn't know why he could be reborn twice; he would ask the witch clan's wizards or the Chaos Green Lotus later.
It doesn't matter if you can't get a clear answer from the questions.
Anyway, he is Shen Yun now, and that's enough!
