Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Chapter 1631

She explained everything in detail, but Li Lan was shocked.

Both legends are astonishing.

On the plateau beyond, something terrifying is buried; if it were dug up, it would pollute the entire world.

Or perhaps, this place called the Other Shore is actually a dream? How could that be? What kind of being could have a dream that becomes reality and encompass all living beings in the world?

What exactly is the flower of evil that can cause even saints to fall?

……

He vaguely realized that the past on the other side held too many secrets.

"In short, after the ancient war, most areas of the Other Shore changed. The rules of heaven and earth deteriorated completely. The Pure Land was gone, and everything was dead and silent. Those who were originally extraordinary beings have all degenerated into indescribable creatures..."

"Only a few places, such as Moke Cave, Jinyun Mountain, and the Sword Burial Pool, can still be preserved, becoming the last secret pure land in the other shore."

The area where Li Lan is now located belongs to one of the most secret and sacred places – Jinyun Mountain!

"The founders of Jinyun Mountain were 108 sages. All 108 sages had achieved true eternal enlightenment, but in the end, they all perished by self-immolation, merging their lives into the mountains and rivers, thus preserving this land."

She spoke slowly.

"Several other top-secret sacred lands also have similar causes and effects. In the Moke Cave, a great Buddha sacrificed himself to create that sacred land. The Sword Pool was formed by three thousand top sword cultivators who poured their lives into their swords, creating the strongest barrier..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Lan had already whispered two words:

"Karma".

Karma is indescribable, formless and intangible.

However, karma is very special and can only be obtained by "creating karma".

Pangu created the world, benefiting all ages, and providing a place for all living beings to survive. Therefore, his achievements were as great as the heavens, and he was the head of the ancestral gods.

Nuwa created humans and mended the sky, sacrificing her life to protect the peace of all races under heaven. Therefore, she is remembered by the world and revered as an ancestral deity totem.

Suirenshi invented fire by drilling wood. A single spark of fire illuminated the path in the darkness, and countless living beings were grateful for it.

……

This is what is meant by "karma".

Karma is not a single kind. For example, Bai Qi, the God of Slaughter, once killed hundreds of thousands of lives in a single battle. The First Emperor of Qin once burned books and buried scholars alive, and destroyed all the weapons in the world. This is the karma of evil.

However, once karma is formed, one gains the ability to influence cause and effect.

It is precisely for this reason that many ancestral gods were able to seal the entire other shore through karma.

This is something that Li Lan could only glimpse after transcending cause and effect and forging his own path.

"It seems you understand."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao nodded approvingly and said, "Your karma is very strong right now."

Her eyes were clear and bright; with just a casual glance, she seemed to have already seen through everything.

"The 108 peaks of Jinyun Mountain each possess their own unique secrets of creation, but none of them seem to be of much use to you."

She then spoke.

The mountains on the other shore have scriptures, the waters have laws, and every blade of grass and every tree has its own techniques. All living beings on the other shore learn from these teachings.

If cultivators from beyond the other shore were to arrive, they would be overjoyed, for any method or technique here far surpasses that of the turbid mortal world.

The laws and principles of the turbid world were almost all created by geniuses in the mortal world who observed the heavens and the earth.

But even the most brilliant genius cannot compare to the wonders of nature. The great Dao created will always have its flaws, but the Dao of Creation can achieve the perfection of the great Dao.

But... there are always exceptions.

For example, the Heavenly Emperor's laws and principles are so powerful that even the Primordial Clan from the Other Shore can only look up to him, and even beings from the Other Shore must take notice of him.

Take Li Lan for example.

Li Lan can now be said to have exhausted all the Dao in the chaotic world, transcending the boundary between existence and non-existence, and has already developed his own Dao since the Immortal Realm.

This path was entirely his own creation, so the laws and principles of the Golden Cloud Mountain Secret Realm were meaningless to him.

Li Lan nodded. Shangguan Xiaoxiao was right; he no longer needed the inheritance here.
