Chapter 1822: Chapter 253: Healing

Red Cloud Mountain, Unparalleled City

Du Sha returned unharmed, putting everyone’s mind at ease, while Tang Luo, who left after the affair without lingering, was already nestled in Yun Xiu’s arms.

"The opponent was so strong, my hand is about to break, look~"

Condensing the natural Dao Realm, which can cover dozens of miles, into a Dao Bead measuring mere inches, this kind of power is something even Tang Luo’s King Realm physique cannot bear for long.

Yun Xiu carefully lifted her husband’s right arm, looking at the palm covered in cracks, her heart ached with pain.

"Let me bandage it for you, bear with it a bit."

She drew colorful clouds of silk from the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul, gently covering along the palm lines, until the entire hand was wrapped.

The fragrant cloud silk carried a woman’s tenderness, moving the colorful palm slightly, Tang Luo tilted his head back and said: "And my eyes~"

"Is it this one?"

Yun Xiu rested Tang Luo’s head on her lap, rubbed open his eyelids, revealing star-like eyes.

Bending forward, her cherry-colored lips slightly puffed up, awkwardly yet tenderly blew towards the star-like eyes.

The warm breath was fragrant with a unique feminine scent, and whether it was psychological or not, the intense pain actually began to ease.

Surprised, Tang Luo turned slightly, offering the other side of his face: "And this one!"

With a gentle smile, the woman held the man’s angular profile, whispering to the other starlike eye.

The greatest benefit of tenderness is probably being able to feel one another’s heart and care.

After ascending to the King Realm, Tang Luo gained a spirit energy vast as the sea, but also lost much of his delicate emotions. When the Dao Realm and laws acted simultaneously on his King body, he was as indifferent as an aloof deity.

To grasp nature, if one cannot embrace nature itself, isn’t that just self-deception?

Thus, life and death no longer moved him, love and hate couldn’t stir him, he cared about less and less. Only by sealing all Spiritual Energy into the stars, withdrawing from the realm and letting his thoughts slow down, could he think like a person once more.

It was through this retreat and advance that he could calibrate his kingly way. For sometimes, advancing too quickly and fervently makes you overlook things.

Perhaps in that extremely fast computing mind, these things are destined to be lost and hold no value.

For example, kinship, love, friendship, emotions that are only meant to occupy a brief part of one’s life can be considered a waste if over-invested.

Ordinary people need it because they cannot find "themselves;" they can only rely on these emotional correlations to feel their own existence.

But a martial way like his, so complete in "self," does not need these relations to experience oneself.

So from the benefit perspective, at his level, all these relationships became burdens.

After all, a complete self is a process of pure self, and the more other thoughts impose on you in this relationship, the harder this pure process becomes.

But is such a solitary world really correct? If looked at only from the strength perspective, then yes, it is correct.

A purer self equates to a stronger self; take Cao Lie as a case in point; he’s someone without any familial ties, moral constraints, only himself, an asshole who worships only strength.

It is this purity that makes him incredibly powerful. If not for Tang Luo utilizing the ban on Primary Qi and countering the other’s foundation first, getting close would have been difficult.

And the Buddha Lord once seen in the laws of the Southern Sky, was also on a path of pure self.

Indeed, there is a difference in rank even among two pure self-paths. By the current exchange of hand judgments, if Cao Lie were to encounter that Southern Heavenly Buddha, a single law would make them forget all martial arts, bloodline, principles, and Dao Realm, dying of old age within the bounds of "non-self."

This is the topmost pure power, and it’s why the South Heavenly Buddha, who has never fought with anyone, is revered as a deity by the kings of various sacred places.

While pure strength is great, it does not mean the path is correct. Just look at how martial ways prospered for a thousand years, yet so many kings, saints vanished in the wind, and you’ll understand a lonely path, no matter how glorious in life, will finally be drowned in desolate loneliness.

Perhaps to the Human Race within such a brief life, these kings, saints were the dominating heroes of their era, but what about pulling the timeline to the entire Xiehe continent?

Tang Luo, who once possessed star memories, drifted and spun in the void for millions of years. In this long time, his over four thousand star companions showed no fluctuations.

Such desolation made him feel that even becoming an immortal star had no real significance, so he calmly chose self-destruction.

Exercising spiritual power was just a means to achieve this goal, and in hindsight, after returning to humanistic thoughts, he began to reflect: why did he feel no joy even with such infinite longevity?

Thought over for long, it was probably due to two reasons.

The first is that world was dead silent; apart from himself, he couldn’t sense any lively existence, even the over four thousand companions were entirely different from him.

Second, he had no freedom.

He once did not understand freedom, even thinking at one point that freedom was doing whatever one wants.

Only becoming a star lifeform did he realize that the boundary of freedom should be about not doing what one does not want to do.

He could stop if he didn’t want to revolve along that stupid trajectory designed by who knows who!

He could not continue this boring and endless life if he didn’t want to!

Because of once striving desperately for such fundamental freedom, Tang Luo’s natural Dao Realm could be so perfectly unblemished and applicable to all creation.

Because once, like those "dead objects," he was controlled by others, only feeling endless emptiness in the desolate universe.

After finally breaking away from such a solitary environment, is he supposed to go back now?

In his opinion, the world found by all kings now was to find a solitary world with only themselves, a world he’s experienced for millions of years, truly lacking attraction.

Sometimes he even wondered, if those kings, saints knew the end of this path looked like this, would they also give up?

But imagination is just that: imagination. Every King has their path; he can’t influence others, just as others can’t influence him.

Feeling the left palm’s injury rapidly healing under the bandage of the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul, Tang Luo closed his eyes and buried his head in Yun Xiu’s embrace.

Who says a King body can only associate through other parts? As long as one lives, one can never truly be alone.

There will always be someone who cares more about you than you do yourself.

The self comes from the entire past, yet your image will always be particularly clear in some people’s memories!

In the time of three hours, Dao Realm’s wound, healed...
