Chapter 1189: Chapter 354: House Guardian God Takes Position (Part 2)
Chen Yan sighed, "Why did you get involved with her?"
"At first, I was curious. I didn’t know what was so special about the girl you’re with that could make someone like you fall for her." The little girl spoke as her expression gradually turned serious, "Later, I started to feel that something was off. Your girlfriend at home is really not just an ordinary person!"
Chen Yan sighed again and smiled wryly, "You found out?"
The little girl’s expression became odd, then she shook her head and whispered, "It’s... too frightening."
After a pause, she smiled wryly, "After I noticed, I was so scared, I ran away immediately, and I dared not contact her again.
Moreover, I didn’t even dare to live in the neighborhood!
Otherwise, living so close to someone like her, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to sleep anymore."
"What are you afraid of in the Mirror World?"
The little girl shot Chen Yan a glance, "Do you think that Saints can’t enter the Mirror World?"
"Hmm?"
The little girl sighed, "You’re probably mistaken about something. Even if you hide in the Mirror World, the Heavenly Dao cannot detect you, but that just means ’undetectable,’ not that the Heavenly Dao is as flexible as a person.
But for a cultivator, especially one who is at the Great Power level like a Saint, if she detects the Mirror World, she can naturally chase you in.
Otherwise, where do you think that spell for entering the Mirror World came from? Isn’t it created by humans?"
Chen Yan nodded, "Makes sense."
"The girl at your home carries a frightening karma. After I realized something was wrong, I ran far away, but I still felt uneasy for three days and nights, almost losing my sense of mind.
Since that day, I dare not live in the residential area anymore.
Only occasionally do I go back to see if you’ve returned, and then immediately run far away after that."
Saying so, the little girl cast a sideways glance at Chen Yan, "No wonder you asked me so many questions about reincarnation trials back then. You must have already known the terrifying secret of karma on your girlfriend."
Chen Yan laughed bitterly, "I realized it, but what can I do? I seem unable to stop it."
"You better not harbor such thoughts." The little girl immediately warned with a stern expression, "Get rid of that idea!
To beings of such great power, if you dare disturb her trials, it’s equivalent to harming her cultivation, to plotting against her!
Don’t even think you can stop it; even if you manage to succeed, hiding in this world won’t save you as she has countless ways to kill you."
This warning didn’t surprise Chen Yan; after all, the old lady said the same thing.
"Thank you for your advice, I understand." Chen Yan waved his hand, "Let’s not talk about this. Let’s talk about something else, like this Mahjong tile, you must have fully researched it by now, right?"
The little girl then relaxed her expression, took out the Mahjong tile from her palm, and hesitantly glanced at Chen Yan, "This thing is definitely not an ordinary magical treasure."
"Hmm, anything that can shield the Heavenly Dao is naturally not ordinary."
"No, it’s more ’unordinary’ than you think."
Chen Yan became interested, "How so?"
"The ability to shield the perception of the Heavenly Dao, such an ability is difficult even for top-level Great Powers. If shielding the Heavenly Dao were that easy, there would already be many high-level cultivators like me boasting around the world.
Theoretically, the perception of the Heavenly Dao cannot be shielded because..."
Before the little girl could finish, Chen Yan suddenly finished the sentence as if guided by a supernatural force, "Because all things are the Heavenly Dao?"
"..." The little girl seriously looked at Chen Yan, nodding, "As long as you understand this principle."
Then, she said earnestly, "The Heavenly Dao sets the rules, deciding what is allowed or not allowed to exist in this world.
And I am not allowed to exist.
If I appear in this world, to the Heavenly Dao, it’s like a grain of sand in the eye, or a thorn in the flesh.
It’s absolutely impossible not to be detected.
Even if you conceal it with mana, it’s futile because it cannot be hidden by mana.
An anomaly is an anomaly! It will definitely be detected by the Heavenly Dao and then be wildly rejected.
To make the Heavenly Dao not reject it, unless..."
Chen Yan frowned, a thought occurring to him, he blurted out, "Unless the Heavenly Dao mistakes you for not being an anomaly, for being part of itself?"
"Correct!"
"Then couldn’t you turn into a stone, or a tree, or any other entity that the Heavenly Dao knows of in this world?"
"Impossible." The little girl firmly shook her head, "The Heavenly Dao does not allow high-level cultivators; my existence is a violation, an anomaly.
Everything is the Heavenly Dao, be it stone or tree, but essentially, the spirituality of all things is granted by the Heavenly Dao, and is also a part of the Heavenly Dao.
When something is part of itself and when it’s not, the Heavenly Dao can easily detect it.
Just like you, if you hold another hand, will your brain assume that hand is a part of you?
No!
Unless that hand grows from your own body."
Chen Yan nodded, "So, what exactly are you trying to say?"
"I suspect, this Mahjong tile, the material of this magical treasure, uses some sort of..." The little girl’s eyes flickered, taking a deep breath before continuing, "some sort of essence of the world!"
Chen Yan’s heart skipped a beat.
Essence of the world?
This, I’m familiar with!
Isn’t that the foundation of becoming a Saint?
He couldn’t help but examine the Mahjong tile in the little girl’s palm with a scrutinizing gaze.
The little girl shook her head, "It’s probably just using a little bit, but that’s already enough to fool the Heavenly Dao, making it believe that fundamentally, it is part of itself, was a part of the unity from the very beginning.’
