Chapter 694 The Solution to the Chaotic Structure

Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew into Shen Ji's secluded cultivation hall.

This breeze seemed to possess the power to purify evil spirits, weakening the sinful power constantly erupting within Shen Ji.

Shen Ji looked at Li An.

He stood silently, motionless, but the breeze must have come from him.

“What power?”

Li An said softly, “Power that can help you.”

“Thank you.” Shen Ji nodded, a wave of emotion washing over him.

Only a few years had passed, and he had already grown to a level that Shen Ji couldn't even comprehend.

But it wasn't surprising.

Li An was no ordinary person. The fact that he possessed the power of the heavens already indicated that he was a super genius, one in a million, and with the unreserved help of those supreme beings who had conquered the heavens back then, it was perfectly normal for him to have this strength.

The most frustrating thing in this world is that someone else's talent is better than yours, and they work harder than you.

The most outrageous thing is that their character is even better than their talent.

Heavenly Dao Soul.

Unprecedented, unparalleled.

Those so-called Sequence Zero gods comparing their talent to Li An's is like fireflies vying for the moon's brilliance.

Suddenly, Shen Ji asked, "What do you think of your talent?"

Li An calmly replied, "I believe there are always people more capable than you, and heavens beyond heavens."

Shen Ji chuckled, "You're truly becoming more and more like a powerful figure."

"Yu has arrived."

"Then I'll be going." Li An bid farewell to Shen Ji, turned around, and the palace doors closed automatically.

Emperor Yu gracefully landed.

"Emperor Heng" and Xia You were both beaming with excitement.

Emperor Yu Tian rubbed his forehead, looking apologetic. "Too busy, just too busy."

"The Immortal Realm is in dire need of rebuilding, and the Asura Realm is about to erupt into war."

"I'm juggling reconstruction here and preparing an army to support the Asura Realm. The Immortal Ancestor is teaching Flute Immortal and Snow Immortal. Everything has fallen on my shoulders. I'm sorry, I didn't even notice you arrived."

Li An chuckled. "Immortal Ancestor, are you really that irresponsible?"

"He said the future belongs to Snow Immortal, and the upcoming war belongs to Flute Immortal. These two are crucial." Li An nodded, saying, "That's true. The flute music that Immortal Flute used to suppress the Asura Path of Slaughter will surely shine on the battlefield of the Asura Realm."

"Let's go." Emperor Yu Tian smiled and patted Li An's shoulder, leading him to the park behind the mountain. Before leaving, he turned back to Xia You and said a few words: "You are the future senior brother of the Yu Sect, so you must cultivate diligently."

Xia You was startled and said, "I will certainly not disappoint the Sect Master's expectations."

Although he said that, he secretly thought to himself, "The senior brother's teacher is a dog, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"Woof!" The "Emperor Heng Tian" beside him cursed loudly, sounding quite vulgar.

Xia You's mouth dropped open, thinking, "My master can read minds too."

Finally, Xia You watched the Sect Master and Li An leave, a question involuntarily popping into his mind.

Shen Xian just asked Li An about his talent.

What about me?

It seems no one has ever tested my talent.

Master wagged his tail and approached, saying, "Your talent is about the same as the sect leader's."

"Really!?" Xia You's face lit up with joy, thinking that once he came of age, he would surely be able to fly on a sword and slay demons.

...Li An and Emperor Yu walked along a forest path.

Li An had expected the other to discuss the war, but instead, the other spoke eloquently about the sect.

"Master Li, do you have any suggestions?"

"This is my first time being sect leader, and I've discovered how difficult this is."

"You saw it when you entered; the Yu Sect's symbol is a stone. I feel it's not quite right. The layout of the entire sect is also... very ordinary."

"I wanted to ask the other sect leaders for their opinions, but they were almost all dealing with the funeral arrangements of their fallen disciples, so I was too embarrassed to ask."

"I don't want to build it exactly like the Yu Sect of yesteryear..."

Li An nodded along the way, arriving at an island in the middle of a lake.

In a pavilion, Emperor Yu brought out tea sets and fine celestial tea.

Li An asked, "What's it like to be the sect leader?"

"Home." Emperor Yu Tian smiled broadly, looking at the lake and the willows on its shore.

A gentle summer breeze rippled across the lake's surface.

"It feels like home. It's wonderful." Emperor Yu Tian relaxed completely, reclining in his wooden chair, enjoying the soft sounds of everything around him.

Li An's tense mind inexplicably eased as he sipped his tea, Emperor Yu Tian's answer echoing in his mind.

Home.

Emperor Yu Tian continued, "Lord Li, I've built a side hall not far from the ancestral temple. It's called the Lord Li Hall. It has the finest bedding. If everything goes well in the future, you can come here often for a visit—in human terms… a vacation."

"Good, good," Li An said twice, his vision seemingly blurred by the steam from the hot tea.

Today was his first formal and in-depth conversation with Emperor Yu Tian.

I always thought he would be a dignified and powerful person, but he doesn't seem to be. He's a bit talkative, a bit gentle, and his eyes are full of sincerity.

The Emperor Yu's voice continued in the wind.

"I always feel that my sect is missing something."

"People? More than that."

"I think it's time."

"Everything is too new. I don't like new things. In a few thousand years, this place will bear the marks of time. Many people will sit here chatting. I believe their voices and smiles will remain here in some way we can't explain, on the undulating lake, in the mottled wooden walls."

"When I was little, I loved going to the back mountain of the Yu Sect. Every step there was different, perhaps because of the different numbers of people who had walked there, and their different positions."

"I like sitting among quiet people."

"Not people in the real sense, but people who have been here before."

"When I sit here alone..." Sometimes, I imagine you sitting across from me, but because you truly came, it's not like I imagined.

"Immortal Ancestor, disciples, friends from other sects—many immortals will come here."

"I'll chat with them between reality and illusion, quietly listening to the sound of time flowing by, and finally take all this preciousness into my grave."

"I believe my grave will be filled with sunflowers, and each disciple or descendant who comes and goes will leave their mark beside it, just as we left our mark here."

"All things will continue in this way."

"It's something that makes one happy just thinking about it, isn't it?" On the opposite bank, Li An gazed at the lakeside, a smile on his face, his mind filled with the beautiful imagery that Emperor Yu had just described.

Suddenly!

He seemed struck by lightning, frozen in place, his breathing becoming rapid!

Emperor Yu was startled, asking, "What's wrong?"

A glint of divine light flashed in his eyes.

His vital signs were normal, and his mental state was extremely active.

Had he had achieved enlightenment? Li An exclaimed in disbelief, "A chaotic structure!"

"This is the solution for a chaotic structure!"
