บท 15: Trial, Dao and Parting
I then came to the center of the array to face my trial. I could understand her worried expression. I looked at her and smiled and said, "Don't worry Ning'er, I will definitely pass this trial and we will go out of this place together. After this trial, we will talk about my secrets. Wait for me, will you?". She then said, "I will wait for you forever. Go win this trial.". I then looked at the emperor, "Please start the trial. I am ready". He said, "Then I wish you luck, youngster.".
I then vanished and when I opened my eyes, I was shocked. I never thought that I would see this place in my life time. I was back on earth and I looked young. I then saw Feng Xiu standing next to me, wearing festive clothes. I looked at my surroundings and concluded that I was in hong kong. I then heard, " en...hen.....Chen!!!!Are you alright?". I was brought out of shock by my girlfriend. I first thought it was an illusion, but it felt lifelike. I tried to use my soul force, but I couldn't use it. . "Where are we? What happened to me? Where was the cave I having been until now?". I asked her series of questions. She was perplexed and in worried expression, "What cave are you talking about. There is no cave here. We came here for a date I asked for. We are near Hong Kong. Did you get an injury? Shall I get a doctor for you?". I now knew that I was in trial, and this was heart demon. She was with me in that world and after death and meeting the gods, I kind of able to see through the illusions.
I then silently meditated and the illusions started to vanish. Suddenly I was in a battlefield, fighting along with Ning'er and others against the demon lord. He was attacking the glory city, and we were defending it. I became impulsive but after calming, I was surprised to see other me fighting with them. I silently saw the fight, and they were able to repel the demon god.
I moved from the scene, and I was brought to another place. In this life, I was a farmer in glory city, and we made good production of grains. I was married to Ning'er, and we lead a happy life. I then saw many of me in different lives in the different scenario. Some were good, some bad and some worse. I was able to experience happiness, sadness, despair, agony rage and various others. I was able to understand this trial. This was trial of Samsara. I then continued to experience them and reached 99th life.
I saw an old man looking at the tree with reminiscence. I got now curious and went towards him. The old man without looking back, said, "What do you need, young man?". I was shocked since the old man was able to sense me. I asked him, "For what reason you were looking at the tree with reminiscence?". He said, "I am looking at this tree, learning the philosophy of life and death.". Hearing this, I was thunderstruck.
The old man continued, "Look at the tree. During spring, the tree will be vibrant with life with leaves. During autumn, the vibrant leaves started to wilt giving the feeling of death. But again during spring, the tree becomes again vibrant with life. This cycle represents the cycle of life and death. But tell me this young one. The leaves that are grown, are the same as the one that wilted?". My heart shook when hearing this. There was an epiphany in my heart. I just bowed to the old man and went to meditate under the tree.
Third Pov:
He was in deep thought of contemplating the concept of life and death. For that, he must understand 'what is life?'. Life is the aspect of existence that processes, acts, reacts, evaluates, and evolves through growth. Life gives birth to a myriad of things existing in the multiverse. Life gives birth to stars, planets and even living beings. Life is anything that grows and eventually dies, i.e., ceases to proliferate and be cognizant. For every beginning, there will always be an end. It may take seconds, minutes, hours, weeks, months or eons, but everything comes to an end. Life and death are both ends of the same coin.
Death is the end of the living being. The body can withstand life for a certain period of time. After that, the body can't withstand life. It deteriorates until the body ceases to exist. If life is giving then, death is taking. Life and death are two sides of the book cover. Life looks forward but death looks backwards. But is death really end of everything?. No for every death there will be the beginning of life. Take a tree as an example. When the tree dies, will it completely die?. No, from the death of the tree, various lifeforms are born like fungus, ferns and tree act like nourishment for the lifeforms. Similarly, death is simply a start for a new life.
In Chinese saying, 9 returns to 1 but that 1 is not the same as the 1 at the beginning as it represents the new beginning. That was Dao of life and death. Then what about Time and space? What are they? From the beginning itself, they exist.
The concept of space and time. All material bodies have a certain extension: length, breadth, height. They are variously placed in relation to each other and constitute parts of one or another system. Space is a form of coordination of coexisting objects and states of matter. It consists in the fact that objects are extraposed to one another (alongside, beside, beneath, above, within, behind, in front, etc.) and have certain quantitative relationships. The order of coexistence of these objects and their states forms the structure of space.
Material phenomena are characterised by their duration, the sequence of the stages of their motion, their development. Processes may take place either simultaneously, or precede or succeed one another. Such, for example, is the interrelation between day and night. The dimension of time can be measured only with the help of certain standards (in seconds. minutes, hours, days, years, centuries, etc.), that is to say, motions that are accepted as being even. The perception of time also allows us to assess the sequence and duration of events.
Depending on our subjective sensations such as merriment or grief, pleasure or boredom, time seems either short or long. Time is a form of coordination of objects and states of matter in their succession. It consists in the fact that every state is a consecutive link in a process and has certain quantitative relations with other states. The order of succession of these objects and states forms the structure of time.
Space and time are universal forms of the existence of matter, the coordination of objects. The universality of these forms lies in the fact that they are forms of existence of all the objects and processes that have ever existed or will exist in the infinite universe. Not only the events of the external world but also all feelings and thoughts take place in space and time. In the material world, everything has an extension and duration. Space and time have their peculiarities. Space has three dimensions: length, breadth and height, but time has only one-from the past through the present to the future. It is inevitable, unrepeatable and irreversible.
A correct understanding of the essence of space and time is closely connected with the scientific picture of the world. Everything is differentiated, broken down into relatively stable extra posed material formations. The processes that occur in them and condition their conservation (reproduction) and at the same time their transformation, are also differentiated: they constitute the consecutive change of the states of an object.
Space and time exist objectively. Although we may feel how time in its inexorable passage is carrying us away, we can neither halt nor prolong it. We cannot recover a single moment of existence. The flow of time is beyond our control. We are as helpless in it as a chip of wood in a river.
Dialectics proceeds from the acknowledgement of the unity of motion, space, time and matter, which is expressed in the principle that various forms of the structural organisation of matter and the levels of this organisation are characterised by their specific motion, space and time. Thus, the spatial organisation of a crystal differs from that of a blossoming rose.
The time of historical events occurs is experienced by their participants and is preserved in the memory of mankind and this kind of time differs from the purely physical time of, say, the motion of the celestial bodies. However, metaphysical thought separates matter from motion, and both of them, from space and time. Newton, for example, assumed that space was the empty container of things, that it was incorporeal, absolutely penetrable, never influenced anything and was never affected by any influence.
Universal space was considered to be filled with absolutely motionless ether, and moving bodies were thought to encounter an "ethereal wind" like the wind that resists a running person. Space was allegedly immutable and motionless, its attributes did not depend on anything, even time; nor did they depend on material bodies or their motion.
One could remove all bodies from space, and space would still exist and retain their attributes. Newton held the same views about time. He believed that time flowed by in the same way throughout the universe and this flow did not depend on anything; time was therefore absolute. Like a river, it flowed on of its own accord, heedless of the existence of material processes. (some from me and some from wiki).
He woke up from the enlightenment, with eyes that were matured and was able to see the past present and future of everything. His mind was clear with no impurities present and his soul was strengthened to extend where it became impenetrable. His visage looks like a person who lived millions of life with experience brimming within him. His soul contains four law seeds: life, death, Time and space. All dancing around with Tian soul as the centre. the trial of samsara made him matured.
He woke up and the illusion realm broke into million pieces. Meanwhile, In trial grounds, Xiao Ning'er was practising her soul force. With the senior guidance, she was able to reach 5-star gold rank demon spiritualist. The concept of time never existed in this place. She lost track of time and was concentrated on cultivation. Suddenly sensing a burst of energy, both emperor and Ning'er looked at the Trial ground. They heard sound of footsteps coming towards them.
They finally saw Tian coming towards them. But there was a change visible on him. The energetic and hotheaded Tian was replaced with one who's visage consist of wisdom and experience. Ning'er was happy that Tian came back and jumped at him. He opened his arms to welcome her and hugged her. "Let's see here. During the Time, I was in training ground. You became even more beautiful, making me to steal you right now. And not only that you reached the pinnacle of gold rank. My wife has monstrous talent.", he said making her blush atomically.
But the emperor was beyond shocked. Tian then went towards the Emperor, kotowed three times and said, "Disciple greets Master.". Emperor was beyond delighted, immediately helped Tian and looked at him. He shakingly said, "Monstrous genius. Who would have thought in a trial you would have comprehended Four laws and made Dao seeds revolving around your soul. Heavens have blessed me. Heavens have blessed me.". He finally hugged him with tears in his eyes. Tian also hugged him saying, " It is all because of teachers help. Without the teacher, I would not be able to comprehend them to this extent.", humbly.
"Tian you have passed the trial. Everything here is all for you. This is your inheritance. Use it wisely and help humanity. Finally, kill the sage emperor. He wants to refine the heavens dao for himself. Heavens dao should not fall on his hand. It is against the flow of nature and will cause a reckoning. My time here ends here. It is high time I meet my legion again", Emperor said. Hearing this Both Tian and Ning'er both became sad. But in the end, they said nothing. Both knew for every beginning there will always be an end.
"Tian, take this. This is similar to the myriad painting but more complex. It contains my time and space laws to differentiate the flow of time. It can be used as a training ground for you. One day outside is 6 months inside. The painting has its independent realm so anything can be kept inside only with your permission. Name it", he said. Tian looked at the painting. Then painting had a vibrant mountain as background. The sky was in different colours like Red, blue and black. The most important of painting is a tree standing majestically with leaves both green and brown leaves. He smiled and said," You shall be called painting of samsara.". He then cut his finger, making a drop of blood falling on it making it his possession. Only he can use it now.
Emperor then turned towards Ning'er and said, "You are really a great student with high comprehension. You already formed dao seed of lightning. Tian really has good eyes for talent. Here are some of the materials for your cultivation till legend rank and others are with Tian. You have merged with Heavenly Lightning sparrow with God level growth. Your potential is already limitless. You must stand next to him as empress when he becomes emperor.". To this, she became grateful and blushed at his last sentence.
"And finally this is my parting gift for you two". suddenly a connection is made between Tian and Ning'er. "This is soul array connecting both of you. Even at a great distance, you can contact each other and can identify if any danger befalls. This place is isolated from the time. Practise your cultivations and when wish to leave, send your Soulforce into this array and it will send you there. The time is literally outside so don't worry. Once you leave, this place will destroy itself to protect its secret, so use it well. Farwell my students, my pride.". Saying this, he became particles of light with a smile on his smile. Both of them kotowed him.
