Chapter 4158: Refining the Heart in the World of Red Dust, Breakthrough of the Soul
This feeling is extremely terrifying.
Because each new life retains all the memories of the previous lives.
In other words, each awakening brings an additional lifetime of memories.
It doesn't sound like much.
But if you think about it carefully...
The further one goes, the more complex and chaotic the memories of all those lifetimes will become in one's mind.
It can make people completely lose their way.
Ordinary people, even after experiencing only a few lifetimes, would find it incredibly confusing.
I don't know what's real, what's fake, or which one is my true self.
The final result will absolutely descend into chaos, madness, and collapse.
Even some cultivators with firm resolve will become completely lost after experiencing countless reincarnations.
This is where the true danger of the Great Dream Stone lies.
If they cannot wake up, they may be trapped in it forever.
In reality, the primordial spirit will wither and perish.
Lifetime after life.
For most people, it might only take a dozen or so lifetimes before their primordial spirit can no longer bear such chaos.
Even those with firm Dao hearts and extraordinary primordial spirit cultivation.
It can only support a few dozen or a hundred generations at most.
Memories from a hundred lifetimes are all mixed together, enough to drive a person insane.
However, for Jun Xiaoyao...
He is reborn again and again, in countless lifetimes.
He was a businessman, a Taoist priest, a peddler, a farmer, a doctor...
Experience all aspects of life.
The only thing I can't remember is my true self.
It was not that Jun Xiaoyao was unable to awaken on his own.
Instead, they felt it was unnecessary.
This great dream stone is easy to lose one's way.
But it was also helpful.
Because of the cycle of reincarnation.
Jun Xiaoyao's primordial spirit and Dao heart are both undergoing tests.
It is very difficult to improve one's primordial spirit cultivation level.
Even advancing to the next level is extremely difficult.
But in this cycle of reincarnation.
Jun Xiaoyao's primordial spirit, like a piece of jade being polished, began to transform.
At the same time, because each life ends in tragedy, they experience the ups and downs of life.
Therefore, Jun Xiaoyao's Dao heart was thoroughly tested.
If other living beings had to endure so much suffering in these endless cycles of reincarnation, they would probably collapse on the spot.
However, Jun Xiaoyao's Dao heart remained flawless.
Even with the painful memories of so many lifetimes on his shoulders, his mind showed no signs of collapse.
There is no concept of time within the Great Dream Stone.
Jun Xiaoyao experienced a hundred lifetimes in the blink of an eye.
And it continues.
And the only thing that remains the same in every lifetime is this:
Yan Rumeng will appear.
Yan Rumeng's true form is the Heavenly Dream Butterfly, and she also has a mysterious connection with the Great Dream Divine Stone.
So she can be considered to have adapted to this kind of test.
Jun Xiaoyao, on the other hand, simply possesses a powerful primordial spirit and a steadfast Dao heart.
A hundred generations later, it continues.
Two hundred generations, three hundred generations, four hundred generations...
Every lifetime is incredibly real.
Or rather, it's real.
Jun Xiaoyao's primordial spirit carries more and more memories.
Five hundred generations, six hundred generations, seven hundred generations...
In the end, eight hundred generations, nine hundred generations.
Then to the 999th generation.
Until the thousandth lifetime!
This is a world covered in a vast expanse of snow, everything is dressed in silver.
On a frozen riverbank.
An old man wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat was fishing in an ice hole he had dug in the river.
The old man's face looked aged, but one could still vaguely see the handsome features he had in his youth.
In his youth, he met and fell in love with a woman, and they lived a simple but happy life.
Ten years ago, the woman passed away, and he has been living alone ever since.
At that moment, heavy snow began to fall, and the surrounding mountains and forests fell silent.
Thousands of birds and all-rounders.
An old man in a straw raincoat and a straw hat is fishing alone in a boat on the cold river under the snow.
For this old man
Memories spanning a thousand lifetimes churned in his mind.
His thoughts and consciousness seem to be divided into a thousand people.
These thousand people are not him, yet they are all him.
He was that scholar, the ruler of the Yan Kingdom, the senior disciple of a sect, a boy from a fishing village, and a young general...
It's safe to say that it's simply impossible for anyone to have memories spanning thousands of lifetimes in their mind.
The primordial spirit will completely collapse, unable to bear so many memories.
But Jun Xiaoyao's primordial spirit is a primordial spirit spanning three lifetimes, traversing the past, present, and future, endlessly revolving and flowing.
The old man slowly rose and stood by the river.
"almost……"
As the old man finished speaking.
The snow that blanketed the entire world suddenly froze!
Each snowflake is suspended in mid-air, appearing as a crystal-clear hexagon.
Then, the old man took a step forward.
Strangely enough, in this life, he was clearly just an ordinary person.
But at this moment, as he took a step, he found himself standing on empty air.
Then comes the second step, and the third step.
The old man walked out step by step.
His appearance and demeanor have also undergone tremendous changes.
The straw hat and raincoat on his body slowly disappeared.
Instead, there were clothes as white as the snow.
The previously hunched back gradually straightened.
Her figure became tall and slender, and her black hair flowed freely.
That originally aged face, as if it had been rejuvenated, became flawless.
In the end, a peerless young man in white stood in the void.
Her robes fluttered in the breeze, making her seem like a banished immortal.
It's Jun Xiaoyao.
He regained himself and broke free from the dream of a thousand lifetimes.
Memories from a thousand lifetimes churn endlessly in my mind.
These experiences were not without their value.
Some top experts encounter bottlenecks that they find difficult to overcome.
Sometimes, one might choose to become ordinary, returning to the mundane world and becoming a powerless mortal.
Experience the myriad aspects of life and the various aspects of the world, thereby elevating one's spiritual heart.
This is also a form of spiritual practice.
Moreover, Jun Xiaoyao's life is not limited to one or two lifetimes.
It's a whole thousand lifetimes!
what does this mean?
Even if a lifetime is only a hundred years.
That thousand lifetimes would also amount to a full 100,000 years.
Although there is no concept of time inside the Great Dream Stone, what appears to the outside world as a few hours, or even a fleeting moment, is actually just a few hours.
But Jun Xiaoyao's primordial spirit, thoughts, and consciousness have truly undergone the baptism of 100,000 years of mortal life.
This can be described as a tough test.
But it could also be described as an extremely fortunate opportunity!
From the moment he was born into the Jun family, he experienced many ups and downs along the way.
Overall, things went smoothly, and they made a clean sweep.
However, in this mortal world of countless lifetimes.
Jun Xiaoyao is not some great hero, peerless genius, or heaven-defying existence.
He was an ordinary mortal, a common cultivator, just one of the masses.
He experienced all kinds of joys and sorrows, love and hate.
There are times when he feels powerless and finds it difficult to protect the people he loves.
All the memories and experiences from a thousand lifetimes were extracted by Jun Xiaoyao at this moment.
He stood in the void, dressed in white, surrounded by endless snowflakes that seemed to have frozen solid.
Then, three hazy, indistinct figures appeared around him, as if spanning the past and the future.
It is the appearance of the primordial spirit of three lifetimes.
Jun Xiaoyao's primordial spirit realm began to loosen, indicating a breakthrough! (End of Chapter)
