The quality of the seal depended not only on the number of words on it, but also on the meaning of the words.
There were thousands of words in the world, and the word "Heaven" was the best in terms of meaning.
In terms of quality, one word was comparable to two words!
Judging from the amount of light left on the seal, it didn't even use half of the light to condense the first word.
Therefore, my Celestial Master Seal had more than one word.
My previous worries and uneasiness were all gone at this moment.
I already knew that even if the number of words on the seal was not as many as Lu Zhenyang and Officer Wang, it wouldn't be much different. Moreover, judging from the meaning of the words, the word "Heaven" alone was enough to surpass the two of them.
I calmed down and stopped worrying about gains and losses. I concentrated on looking at the light carefully.
When condensing the Celestial Master Seal, the light that appeared was the phenomenon caused by the True Essence in the Celestial Master's body resonating with heaven and earth.
When one's cultivation reached the Celestial Master Realm, he had already left the mortal world.
When cultivating in the Earth Master Realm, one only needed to focus on oneself. One should focus on oneself and ignore the disturbances of the outside world. One should meditate and cultivate on his own. Only in this way could he make rapid progress.
When one reached the Celestial Master Realm, it was different. Those who could open the door to the Celestial Master Realm didn't lack willpower and talent. However, if one wanted to move forward, willpower and talent weren't enough. Next, it depended on luck.
What was luck?
Literally, it was luck and fate.
When one reached this realm, who could give him a chance?
The Yang God Celestial Master couldn't, and the Immortals who ascended couldn't either. The only thing that could give a Celestial Master a chance was Heaven.
Grasping a heaven-sent opportunity was a blessing.
Therefore, the cultivation of a Celestial Master focused on comprehending the will of Heaven.
As for what the will of Heaven was, the ancients had already made a conclusion.
"Heaven and earth are black and yellow, the universe is primitive.
The sun and the moon are dim, the stars and the mansions are open.
Winter comes and summer goes. Autumn harvests and winter hides.
Leap into adulthood, Lu Tiaoyang.
Clouds bring rain, and dew turns into frost.
Gold is born in Lishui, and jade comes out of Kungang … "
Everything in the world was the will of Heaven, but it couldn't be comprehended by people. Immortals who ascended to the Celestial Master Realm might be able to see the will of Heaven from the mortal world. However, as a Celestial Master who had just touched this realm, he didn't have the ability to hear of thunder in silence or see of flowers in colorlessness. Only when there was a natural phenomenon could he see the will of Heaven.
What of natural phenomenon?
Changes were imminent.
In layman's terms, when there was thunder and rain, the weather would change. When there was an earthquake, the mountains would collapse, and the earth would surge.
However, the world was vast and boundless, and there were a myriad of phenomena within it. So, it was extremely difficult to discern the will of the heavens from these phenomena.
The will of the heavens was hard to fathom and the mysteries of the heavens were hard to find.
However, the word 'opportunity' was not only about opportunity, but also about fate.
Some celestial phenomena were difficult to see through, but some celestial phenomena were blessings bestowed by the heavens. For example, this ten-colored light.
This multicolored light was born from the resonance of one's true essence with the heavens and earth. It was a response from the heavens to man, a perfect opportunity to peep into the will of the heavens.
Therefore, when forming the seal, it was even more important for the Heavenly Master to use it to spy on the will of the heavens and pave the way for his future cultivation.
These principles were profound and abstruse. It was extremely difficult for a new Heavenly Master to comprehend them.
Although I don't think I'm inferior to others in terms of intelligence, I'm not a freakishly intelligent person. I'm able to understand these principles by relying on the records in the Death Scripture.
The contents of the Death Scripture silk cloth could be said to be a hodgepodge of cultivation that encompassed everything.
However, I discovered a long time ago that the words recorded on it were mostly some basic matters. As my realm increased, there was less for me to comprehend. Regarding the essence of a Heavenly Master's cultivation and the opportunity to condense a seal, that was the last content on the 'Death Scripture' cloth.
In other words, at my current realm, the Death Scripture silk cloth that guided me into the sect and was regarded as my mentor would no longer be of use to me.
Thinking of this, I became slightly absent-minded. However, after all these years of cultivation, I'd long cultivated a rock-solid will.
After a while, I recovered, and my mental state didn't fluctuate.
As the saying goes, the master leads the way, but cultivation depends on the individual.
Even if there were no more teachings in the future, the Death Scripture silk cloth had already led me into the door of a Heavenly Master. In the future, I'd search for opportunities on my own, so I didn't need to rely too much on external objects.
Straightening out my thoughts, I continued to focus my attention on the ten-colored light and silently gazed at it.
At first, I was still paying attention to the second word that the multicolored light was condensing. However, very quickly, my eyes were only focused on the multicolored light. Under my full concentration, the multicolored light seemed to be much closer to me. I felt as though I was surrounded by the multicolored light. When I looked up, I could see that the multicolored light was made up of countless cylindrical particles.
After seeing these particles, I had an absurd thought. According to physics, light is a photon beam and is made up of photons. Could it be that I'm seeing photons?
Of course, that's impossible. Photons are tiny. Even with my current cultivation, it's impossible for me to see these tiny photons with my eyesight.
Not long after, the cylindrical particles suddenly enlarged in front of me. Only then did I clearly see that these cylindrical particles were the portraits of people!
The first to enter my eyes were my parents, followed by the portraits of my childhood relatives, neighbors, and playmates.
Only then did I realize that the light was concealing my life's memories.
From my first cry when I was a child that I couldn't even remember, to when I learned to walk, to when I learned how to speak, to when I went to school. From playing with my playmates, to working in the fields with my parents, to studying at night when I was taking my exams.
Countless scenes that I had long since forgotten in my memories flowed continuously along with the multicolored light.
Later on, I followed the fatty to the mountain behind the middle school, drank the Burial Mound Wine, met Suan Ni … All the memories of my path of cultivation flashed before my eyes without reservation.
When I first saw these scenes, I was still thinking about the meaning of the scenes in the light. Could it be that by looking back on my life, I could comprehend the will of the heavens?
However, as the scenes flowed, my mind was completely immersed in them. I forgot to think about the meaning behind them, and even forgot where I was.
My gaze and thoughts completely followed the flow of the scenes.
When I saw my parents taking me to the city to go to the market when I was a child, my heart was filled with joy. When I saw my relatives getting old and separated from each other, my heart was filled with sadness. When I saw my playmates leaving me to study, my heart was filled with melancholy. When I saw my parents die in the hands of the Lu family, my heart was filled with anger.
I didn't know how long it had been. After watching my life as if I was watching a movie, the light in front of me disappeared.
I looked around and found that I was no longer in Chiyou's tomb. Lu Zhenyang, Wang Can, and the others weren't around me. I wasn't even myself anymore, but a naked baby.
After a while, a familiar figure appeared in front of me. Her warm eyes gazed at me, and she held me tightly in her arms.
It was my mother.
Only then did I realize that I seemed to have returned to my childhood.
Then, I seemed to have gone through my life again.
Because I had just seen my life through the light, everything was still fresh in my memory. It was as if I was a prophet. From my birth to my adulthood, I walked through my life clearly and confusedly.
The process seemed to be very slow, but it also seemed to be very fast.
Although I knew everything about the future, I was still confused. I could only subconsciously follow my memories.
Gradually, I grew up, met Lao Ai, obtained the Death Scripture, and began to cultivate.
Step by step, I went from searching for dragons to sealing acupoints, from Glorious Knowledge to consummation, and finally to Chiyou's tomb. I entered the blood door and began to break through to the Heavenly Master Realm.
When the ten-colored light appeared in front of me again, I felt my body shake, and I became clear-headed.
I didn't know if it was a dream or an illusion. I was still sitting cross-legged in the air, continuing to condense the Heavenly Master Seal.
I also understood that everything that had happened before was just an illusion. I was just trying to see through the secret of heaven from the light.
I felt a sense of loss and emptiness. I didn't know if I had seen through something or understood something. I also didn't know if I had peeped into the secret of heaven.
At this moment, I didn't have time to think about it. Not far in front of me, the ten-colored light had already spread and formed ten-colored characters.
