Lord Shadow

Chapter 1691: Follow It

Azief knows his situation very well.

If there is enemies that he could not fight, then he could just simply ran away. And he could do that. Because he right now could be considered a powerhouse in the Universe.

Not many people have reached this kind of realm even in the Universe.

It is true that Earth have a disproportionate people with high realm of power because of the All Source. Doesnʼt change the fact that being just a Disk Formation realm is already a powerhouse in the Universe.

And what realm is Azief right now? An Essence Creation leveler. The same realm that the Demon King from that Seresian world.

He is a powerhouse.

So, actually, if its peace and safety he wanted.....he could stop right now. Leave Earth. Find a different galaxy and stay there.

Rid himself of all of these entanglements. Rid himself out of the muddy affairs of mortals. Seclude himself.

But, not once that thought come up. ”That is because I have the desire to seek my own Grand path” he mutters to himself.

Or maybe he is retracing his new intention.

His intention, reason have changed since the Fall.

Life and death taught him many things. And according to his position, his desire and his intention also changes accordingly.

When he was a mortal, what he seeks is mortal and worldly desires.

Wanting to be rich, wanting to be famous, wanting to be recognised, wanting to be acknowledged

Beaten by life, he become depressed.

The Fall came and he wanted to survive. He survives and then he wanted to be stronger. Because he wanted to survive even longer.

Then he met people. He like these people. He found a family, a family he never had before. And so, his desire to become stronger become even more important.

But the intention this time is different. Before, he wanted to become stronger for himself. Now, he wanted to become stronger for someone else

There are now people that he wanted to protect.

And then these people no longer needs his protection.

And so, his desire and intention changes again

He wanted to become strong so that he could see the End.

The Grand Path. When everything is fulfilled, you began to try to find a meaning.

And the more Azief knows about the world, the more he yearns about the Truth

And Truth could not be found without strength.

Whether that strength is the strength of the mind, the heart or the body, the pursuit of Truth could not be realized without being strong

This is his first liberation. A lot of shackles has now leave him at that time. He no longer needs to protect his friend and family and could now focus on other things.

It is for the Grand Path for himself, to see the Truth, to see the Way.

Where is the Way?

I am the Way

Heaven and earth and I are of the same root, the ten-thousand things and I are of one substance. it is like that question.

What is Buddha? ”This very mind, this is Buddha.”

This kind of thoughts swirls and cooked itself up in Azief mind. All kinds of philosophies, all kinds of thought that he have is converging, trying to find a way that suits him

Not abandoning cause and effect, not cutting the cause and effect, but to embrace it like the Heavens opening its arms to accepts everything

Vast and limitless

Azief found his path. And when he found his path, there is a qualitative change in Azief own energy. He could feel something different about his energy

He did not quite understand it but now he did not release it at all

Engrossed in his own path, the world fades away

He is covered in cause and effect; his body is filled with threads and strings. Fate and destiny is there, cause and effect is there, the karma is there....covering himself

He is no longer wary. Or panic. Or scared.

Confront the cause and effect, the Karma and understand that this is a link of heaven and earth, of life and death, of bonds and emotions, of mortals feelings and mortal deeds that connect the divine with the mortal ”Existing everywhere. Heaven and Earth, none could escape. Like the approaching steps of death and the entropy of Time”

You should not be ignorant of cause and effect.

And what this means....at least to him, and to his path, that coincides with his desire and aspiration, is that this is a sentence that come up with to understand one thing

That it is a way to follow the path of cause and effect.

Maybe, someday he would get a different answer. Maybe that day is soon. maybe it would be decades or hundreds of years later. It is fine to experiment and to walk this path.

Whether it is a wrong path or not, you wouldnʼt know it until you walk the path

Walking the wrong path, you could start from the beginning. But if the heart is wrong, it is difficult to turn back.

Cause and effect, knowledge and insight is required. Calmly observe the cause and effect, think about it, reflect about it and understand it

Understanding it, you would then begin to learn the way to master it.

Azief had done many things in his life. And he had train his body, his skills, his way of controlling energy, his other abilities, but there is something he did not do Because at that time, he could not do it. But now, he found a way forward. A path for him

Observe the cause and effect on himself. It would probably lead to another enlightenment. The connection between him and the world and the beings inside that world Why would those deities and godlike being did not leave their world? Why some would fight to the death for their world? Is it cause and effect? Is it a connection between them and their world. This question also popped out from his mind but he quickly shut down this thought. There is too many thoughts in his head right now. And as Azief is sitting there on that area, near the shore, he understood something

The moon waxes and wanes, days turn to night, night turn to dawn, dawn turns to day and day turns to night again.

Passing of times is unnoticed.

But Azief is still there

A storm of energy on the island prevent anyone from sensing what is happening on this island.

And as the days passes, Azief understand something else about cause and effect.

Between cause and effect, it is destiny and fate. To master cause and effect is to master destiny and fate

Changing cause and effect means changing destiny. He could not help but think of this and then then he opens his eyes

Azief slowly opens his eyes. He felt like only a few second had passed

But that is not it at all;. Days had passed. Weeks had passed.

Azief look around him and he could see that the entire island had changed. ”How many days was I in that state?” he ask himself.

He did not expect an answer but he knows that it might have taken him quite some time. The entire island is now full of life and energy.

There is a trace of his enlightenment embed in this island. If low realm leveler come to this island and practices they would get ten times the benefit than practicing alone.

The energy of the world, the energy of the Universe, the energy of the entire Omniverse pours down upon this island when Azief deduce his own enlightenment path.

Azief could fell that even though his realm did not rise, there is something that seems to solidify itself in his being.

Time passes and, Azief opens his eyes. The energy of the world has dispersed.

And Azief is still there. And he smiles. ”With this I became more confident to rearrange the continents of the world” he thought to himself.

Azief did not know how much time had passed but when he opens his eyes, he was shocked a bit. Because what he sees is that the island has completely transformed itself There is all new kinds of flowers and plants and each plant is titanic in size and its length reaches high toward the sky, creating large shade all over the coast.

There is also many more colourful living beings in this island ”How long time had passed?” seeing these changes all over the island, Azief got a premonition that a lot of time had passed.

There is this feeling of time passing him by

And he frowned. ”Did I took a long time?” he ask himself but he is not quite sure.

But it is not like he has a clock that could be used in this new world.

Even the Order of Thinkers is stumped on how to calculate the hours of days and night because it changes every few weeks.

Either because of the energy of the people of this world or the mystical nature of the

Multiversal Convergence, determining time is hard. >>
