Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Seeking the Source of Heaven's Questions, the Beginning of the Spiritual Journey
The moment Lin Yu's toes gently touched the threshold of the mysterious stronghold, a solemn and mysterious aura rushed towards him like a surging tide. It was as if he had suddenly crossed the barriers of time and space and stepped into an unknown world deeply sealed by the long passage of time, hiding countless mysterious stories. Inside the stronghold, the light was dimmed as if covered by a thin veil. The faint and flickering shadows danced eerily on the walls, as if silently telling the secrets of the past, adding a few more indescribable mysterious flavors to this space. It was as if he was in a blurred dream, making his heart beat involuntarily faster.
Walking slowly along a quiet and winding passage like a snake, Lin Yu's footsteps echoed in the empty passage, as if it was a symphony of his inner tension and anticipation intertwined. Before long, led by the mysterious person, he was brought to a spacious hall with a high - domed ceiling. Looking up, he saw an old man with white hair like frost and snow sitting quietly on a simple and heavy stone chair deep in the hall. The old man's white hair was in wisps, like a silver net woven by time. Each strand was engraved with the marks of time, telling of the vicissitudes of the past and the precipitation of long years. His face, as if eroded by countless winds and rains, was covered with deep and shallow wrinkles. However, within these wrinkles, there was a sense of calmness and wisdom that had experienced the world and understood all things, like a wise man who had penetrated the secrets of heaven, quietly examining everything in the world.
His eyes were deep and far - reaching, like a bottomless cold pool, or like the vast and mysterious starry sky. The emotions and wisdom contained within were like the twinkling stars in the night sky, mysterious and elusive. Just in the moment of meeting that gaze, Lin Yu was as if being pulled by an invisible force, as if he was about to be sucked into the endless depth, indulging in the mysterious unknown realm and unable to extricate himself. A powerful and profound, yet restrained and deep - seated aura emanated from the old man, like a surging undercurrent hidden beneath the calm lake surface. On the surface, it seemed calm and peaceful, but in fact, it concealed a powerful force capable of overturning the universe and reversing the world. This aura, as if materialized, turned into an invisible pressure, filling the entire hall space. Lin Yu truly and deeply felt the unfathomable depth of this old man, like facing a towering and insurmountable mountain, and a sense of awe welled up in his heart.
The old man slowly raised his slightly heavy head, and his gaze, like two sharp cold rays, slowly swept towards Lin Yu. There was a hint of cautious scrutiny and exploration in his eyes, as if considering whether Lin Yu was qualified to step into this mysterious field. After a moment of silence, he slightly opened his lips. His voice was low and hoarse, as if coming from the depths of ancient times, with an undeniable majesty and solemnity, like an oracle, introducing the situation of their organization to Lin Yu.
"The organization I belong to is called the 'Heaven - Question Pavilion'. Its history is as long as a surging and unceasing river, dating back to the beginning of the ancient times when chaos first opened and the universe was first created. Since its establishment, the Heaven - Question Pavilion has adhered to an unwavering belief and unswervingly dedicated itself to the great journey of exploring the origin and truth of all things in the universe and the ultimate mystery of cultivation. This is the sacred mission passed down through thousands of years by our predecessors and the supreme ideal that every member of the Heaven - Question Pavilion pursues unremittingly throughout their lives, like a bright star, lighting up our way forward." The old man's words were like a great bell tolling, echoing for a long time in the empty and quiet hall. There seemed to be a mysterious power in that voice, taking Lin Yu through the tunnel of time and space, slowly unfolding the long, magnificent, and magnificent historical picture of the Heaven - Question Pavilion in front of his eyes, making him seem to witness the vicissitudes and glorious history of the Heaven - Question Pavilion in the long river of time.
"Within our pavilion, there are countless precious ancient books that have been precipitated and baptized by the long river of time. Their coverage is as vast as the boundless universe and starry sky. The content ranges from all aspects of astronomy and geography, the mysteries of rune formations, the essentials of elixir and weapon - making, to various cultivation secrets that have been lost for a long time in the long years and hidden under the dust of history. These books are the crystallization of the painstaking efforts and great wisdom of the predecessors of our pavilion. They have gathered the painstaking efforts and outstanding wisdom of countless wise men and sages throughout history. They are the unique and shining pearls in the cultivation world. Every page and every word contains endless value and mystery, like the keys to open the door of wisdom, waiting for those who are destined to discover and explore." When the old man said this, a hint of pride and arrogance involuntarily appeared in his eyes, like a collector who treasures his treasures, showing Lin Yu the most precious and proud treasures of the Heaven - Question Pavilion. That light was like the twinkling of stars, illuminating the entire hall.
"Furthermore, the cultivation methods created by our pavilion are also unique and original. Their uniqueness is like the most unique star in the night sky, shining with a different light. These methods were carefully studied and repeatedly deliberated by our predecessors based on the profound mysteries of the power of the origin of the universe and the infinite treasure of human potential. They are vastly different from the common methods seen in the world. Their exquisiteness lies in being able to skillfully guide cultivators to break free from the shackles of conventional thinking and traditional constraints, and to explore their own hidden infinite potential in a more efficient, quick, and thorough way, understand the true laws of heaven and earth and nature, and thus achieve remarkable results with half the effort on the path of cultivation, like putting wings on cultivators, helping them soar in the sky of a higher realm." The old man paused slightly, and his gaze, like a sharp eagle's eye, locked tightly on Lin Yu's eyes, as if to penetrate every thought and fluctuation in his heart, seemingly carefully observing his reaction to these precious pieces of information, as if considering whether he could truly understand the value and significance of this knowledge.
"The members of our pavilion are all outstanding elites and powerful masters from various different fields. They are like bright stars, each shining with a unique light in their own sky. Some have reached the pinnacle of martial arts, and their figures are like towering war gods. Every move they make can attract the power of heaven and earth. Some have extraordinary abilities in the fields of elixir - making and weapon - making. The elixirs they refine are like divine elixirs bestowed by the gods, with miraculous effects, and the artifacts they forge are like divine artifacts, with peerless power. Some have unique insights in the study of formations and runes. The formations they set up are like an inescapable net of heaven and earth, mysterious and unpredictable, and the runes they draw are like strokes of a divine pen, containing mysterious power. These powerful people gather in the Heaven - Question Pavilion, not moved by fame and fortune, only for the passionate and persistent pursuit of truth in their hearts, like devout pilgrims, jointly embarking on the difficult journey of exploring the endless unknown field, in the hope of glimpsing the brilliant light of the peak mystery of cultivation in their lifetime and contributing their own modest efforts to the interpretation of the mysteries of this vast and boundless universe, like dots of stars gathering to light up the endless darkness."
Lin Yu stood there quietly like a solidified statue, listening intently to the old man's narration. His heart, like a calm lake into which stones had been thrown, was rippled and could not be calmed for a long time. The profound heritage and lofty goals of the Heaven - Question Pavilion, like a rising sun, lit a blazing and never - extinguishing flame in his heart. The rich and vast collection of books like the ocean, the unique cultivation methods, and the scene of numerous outstanding elites gathering together, like the moon surrounded by stars, made him feel as if after being lost in the dark for a long time, he suddenly saw a sacred door leading to a higher cultivation realm slowly opening. Behind the door, there seemed to be hidden endless knowledge treasures and powerful forces, waiting for him to draw and explore bravely, like a mysterious treasure full of temptation, exuding a fatal attraction.
After careful consideration, as if experiencing a fierce war in his heart, a firm and unwavering light flashed in Lin Yu's eyes, like a bright star cutting through the darkness of the night sky. He deeply knew that such a once - in - a - lifetime opportunity, like a gift from heaven, was the favor of fate for him and the golden key to a higher realm. Therefore, he resolutely decided to join this mysterious and infinitely charming organization, like a brave pioneer, together with these like - minded and star - like shining powerful people, to embark on that exploration journey full of unknowns and challenges, and to move forward bravely towards the mysterious distance, like a sailing ship setting sail, heading towards the vast ocean of knowledge and power, to pursue his own glory and dream.
Since joining the Heaven - Question Pavilion, Lin Yu has been like a sponge that has been dried under the hot sun for a long time and is eager for the moisture of rain. He has been eagerly immersing himself in the vast ocean of knowledge. Every day, when the first rays of dawn appear and the sky turns fish - belly white, he gets up early, like a hard - working morning bird, and goes to the attic filled with ancient books. That attic is like an ancient treasure house of wisdom, exuding a mysterious atmosphere. He plunges into the vast sea of books, like a thirsty child for knowledge, picking and gathering in the garden of knowledge. Some of the ancient books have yellowed and fragile paper, like an old man in his twilight years, as if a gentle touch would turn them into the dust of time. But the words recorded on them are like the twinkling stars of wisdom in the night sky. Each character contains the profound understanding and extraordinary perception of cultivation by the predecessors, like a key to open the door of wisdom, waiting for Lin Yu to discover the mysteries within. Lin Yu, like a devout scholar, studies those precious words word by word, not missing any subtle details, like looking for pearls hidden in the sand. When encountering obscure and difficult sentences, like being covered by a thick fog, he repeatedly ponders and carefully deliberates, like a persistent puzzle - solver, consulting other relevant ancient books, like looking for clues in the ocean of knowledge, until he achieves a thorough understanding, like clearing the clouds to see the sun.
In addition to immersing himself in the study of ancient books, Lin Yu also practices various skills of the organization with an indomitable will like steel. Every day, he closes himself in the cultivation chamber specially built for cultivators in the Heaven - Question Pavilion to practice in seclusion, like a devout ascetic, seeking the sublimation of the soul and the breakthrough of strength in the quiet chamber. According to the mysterious methods recorded in the skills, he guides the spiritual power in his body, like a surging river, to surge and circulate in the meridians along a specific route. Every cultivation is like a difficult and arduous challenge, like walking through a thorn bush. The pain brought by the surging spiritual power in the meridians is like thousands of ants biting the heart, making his body seem to be in purgatory. But Lin Yu always clenches his teeth, like a resolute warrior, and persists without flinching. During the cultivation process, he is like a wise explorer, constantly trying and groping, like looking for light in the dark, closely combining the knowledge in the ancient books with actual cultivation, like water and milk blending together, gradually mastering the essence of these skills, like grasping the key to open the treasure door. As time slowly passes, like the fine sand in an hourglass gradually flowing away, Lin Yu can clearly feel that his connection with heaven and earth has become closer and closer, as if integrating with heaven and earth, and his control over spiritual power has become more and more handy, like an arm guiding a finger. It seems that with every move, he can attract the power of heaven and earth, like a god who controls the universe. He knows that he is steadily moving towards a higher realm, like a firm climber, climbing step by step on the steep mountain, and the Heaven - Question Pavilion is the solid cornerstone for him to achieve this grand goal, like a towering lighthouse, lighting up his way forward.
