Chapter 1875: Chapter 1875: The Cycle of Karma, Fundamental Laws
But, Ye Feng still fell into confusion.
Just from these appearances alone, he found it hard to directly create the Law of Cause and Effect, so he sat on a rock, gazing at the rise and fall of this world.
It is currently November in Shenzhou.
Yet, this world is different.
In the universe, there are countless worlds, each with its own spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
Rumble...
The sky suddenly gathered dark clouds, and Ye Feng glanced at a small sapling beside him, blew a breath, and it quickly grew into a towering tree.
Crash!
The heavy rain soon fell, but because the tree had grown lush and leafy, it easily sheltered Ye Feng from the rain, leaving only a slight chill.
Ye Feng enjoyed this very much.
He leaned against the tree, one hand supporting his chin, watching the distant farming scenes with a leisurely expression.
"Cause and effect..."
Ye Feng suddenly said, he had nurtured this sapling to grow into a towering tree, so it could help shield him from the wind and rain, which is a form of cause and effect.
And this, too, could be called samsara.
Thinking of samsara, Ye Feng’s eyes lit up.
"I previously created the Minor Samsara Principle, then got inspiration from Wen Sheng and Li Qingniu, and finally perfected it into the Great Reincarnation Law. It seems now that the Law of Cause and Effect is somewhat similar to the Great Reincarnation Law."
"So, I can start with the Reincarnation Law."
Ye Feng murmured to himself.
He decided to go through a cycle of reincarnation in the human world.
Whoosh!
Ye Feng vanished in an instant.
Meanwhile, the old farmers working in the fields in the distance were driven by the heavy rain and happened to notice this towering tree by the roadside, quickly rushing over to take shelter.
"Strange, where did this tree come from?"
An old farmer muttered.
Clap!
A sudden thunderbolt struck down, affecting several old farmers taking shelter under the tree. They instantly died, their souls scattered swiftly.
In the distance, Ye Feng returned.
"This matter is somewhat different. Am I inadvertently responsible for these farmers’ deaths?"
Ye Feng asked himself.
He had caused this tree to grow, which counts as the cause. But, this doesn’t directly relate to the farmers being struck dead by lightning. It was because they took shelter from the rain, and the lightning came that they were struck down.
There are several steps in between.
"I understand now."
Ye Feng thought for a moment and had an answer.
"Cause and effect, there are several layers."
"In a narrow sense, cause refers to the direct or intrinsic reason that leads to a result. But many things aren’t that simple."
"In a broad sense, cause should include conditions or ’缘’."
"This is what’s known as cause and conditions."
"I planted a tree, and the farmers being struck dead by lightning, there was a layer of conditions in between. But this was not a good condition, it was an evil condition created unintentionally."
Ye Feng gained a deeper understanding.
Whoosh!
He waved his sleeve lightly, and the souls of the farmers who had died by lightning returned to their bodies and were quickly reborn.
"Hey, aren’t we dead?"
"Maybe we are just lucky."
"We should never shelter under trees in the rain again, be careful of being struck by lightning. Let’s run home through the rain."
The farmers quickly headed back.
They didn’t notice, standing on the field ridge, a tall, young figure.
"It’s time for reincarnation."
Ye Feng murmured, flying thousands of miles away.
There is a basin here, stretching over hundreds of miles, home to a small independent country with more than a dozen small towns and a population of over one million.
Ye Feng waved his broad sleeves and used an invisible formation to cover this basin, adding a thousandfold speed to time.
Then, he breathed out lightly.
It contained a wisp of his soul fragment.
Gulin City.
This is one of the fifteen cities under Yun Country’s rule, situated in the remote area, ten miles wide and long, housing over a hundred thousand people, usually quite prosperous.
A mansion.
"Waa waa..."
A baby was born, letting out cries.
"Oh, the madam has given birth, it’s a boy."
"Congratulations, sir, congratulations!"
From above, Ye Feng quietly watched.
This baby boy was not him; he just merged a wisp of his soul fragment into the baby’s sea of consciousness, equivalent to temporarily living inside, experiencing life through the baby’s perspective.
The baby sensed nothing of this.
Time flew by.
The baby was already three years old, and following this family’s customs, there would be a grand banquet to celebrate for him.
"My son Xiao Jie has the posture of an immortal."
At the banquet, the baby Lin Jie’s father laughed, causing all the guests to laugh along.
Immortal?
Throughout the whole Yun Country, the strongest cultivator is only in the Spirit Sea Realm, yet Lin Jie’s father claimed Lin Jie has the posture of an immortal, it was an incredible boast.
Several years passed again.
Lin Jie was already eight years old, apprenticed under a seventh-layer Element Gathering Realm old Daoist priest, and soon reached the Qi Refining Realm, genuinely showing good aptitude.
At ten years old, Lin Jie broke through Peak of Qi Refinement.
The news shocked the entire Yun Country.
"A ten-year-old at Peak of Qi Refinement, it seems a new immortal will be born from Lin Family in Gulin City!"
Someone commented thus.
But, a few days later.
The entire Lin Family was massacred by a masked powerhouse at the Peak of Element Gathering Realm, Lin Jie and his master also died.
In the sky.
Ye Feng saw this scene, blinking.
"Without the protagonist’s luck, death comes quickly."
He couldn’t help but ridicule.
That’s how it is in the cultivation world, showing strong talent can easily attract enemies and lead to being forcibly wiped out, avoiding future threats.
"This is the first cycle of reincarnation."
Ye Feng silently noted it down, withdrew this wisp of his soul fragment, and reviewed the ten years lived through Lin Jie’s perspective, gaining many new insights.
"Continue reincarnating!"
Ye Feng breathed out this wisp of soul fragment, carrying Lin Jie’s life mark, reincarnated into another noble family, becoming a genius endowed with a spiritual bone.
However, this person lived only for three years, then drowned, dragged underwater by a monster while walking by a flooding river.
The second cycle thus ended.
"Hey, really speechless."
Ye Feng shook his head, reflecting on the second cycle, then sent the soul fragment with Lin Jie’s life mark into the third reincarnation, starting a new life.
Externally a month, internally eighty years.
In these short eighty years, Ye Feng’s wisp of soul fragment, carrying Lin Jie’s life mark, reincarnated through different cities, living fully nine cycles.
"This person was too unfortunate, averaging just nine years each cycle."
Ye Feng couldn’t help but sigh.
After nine cycles of reincarnation, Lin Jie’s life mark seemed to have accumulated a certain energy. As Ye Feng let it go, it immediately started the tenth cycle of reincarnation.
Days later.
Deep within Yun Country’s Imperial Palace.
A baby boy was born, accompanied by anomalies.
"My son, has the posture of an immortal!"
In this tenth cycle, Lin Jie reincarnated as the first son of the newly crowned Emperor of Yun Country and the future heir. Due to the natural anomalies, he was well protected, not allowing any unrelated people to approach.
At ten years old, Lin Jie began cultivation.
He astonishingly awakened some Divine Body, and leveraging this current Peak Prosperous Age, he easily broke through the Qi Refining Realm, then Element Gathering Realm, Spirit Sea Realm...
At twenty years old, Lin Jie successfully broke through to the Divine Origin Realm.
He became the strongest in Yun Country.
After this, he had undergone ten cycles of reincarnation.
"This guy, finally makes it." Ye Feng nodded at Lin Jie’s tenth cycle.
And as Lin Jie broke through to the Divine Origin Realm, the wisp of Ye Feng’s soul fragment hidden in his sea of consciousness also changed.
Ye Feng retrieved this wisp of the soul fragment, discovering it had turned into a golden seed, appearing like a soybean at first glance, golden all over.
"What is this?"
He immediately activated the Eye of Insight.
