Bai Ye looked around. Although she was not sure why there was no one there, she was still sure that this was the Shinto temple, although it was different from what she had seen before.
Not far in front of her stood an ancient palace. Judging from its structure, it was made up of huge pieces of white jade. It was so high that it reached the sky, giving people a sense of grandeur, mystery and antiquity, but also a sense of desolation and bleakness.
When Bai Ye walked in, she could feel the oldness and desolation even more, which made her intuitively know that there were definitely few living creatures here.
As she walked up the stone steps and reached the main hall in the center of the temple, she saw a faint "I" written in ancient style appearing on the wall in the center of the main hall.
“This is…” Bai Ye looked at the word in confusion, feeling vaguely as if he was being locked onto something. However, this lock was not directed maliciously, and upon closer inspection, it seemed to have disappeared
Bai Ye studied it for a while, and noticed several times that this ancient character "I" could faintly emit a kind of spiritual light that gave her sudden enlightenment, but she could not catch it.
This depressing feeling, as if a little white rabbit had a carrot dangled in front of it, tempting you to eat it but not letting you, made Bai Ye feel very anxious.
"Is that guy really playing a trick on me?" Bai Ye pondered for a moment and couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart. He simply went out of the temple again and looked around.
As a result, she discovered that apart from this towering palace, there were no other buildings in the area, no living creatures, not even a blade of grass.
Bai Ye felt helplessly that she was probably tricked, probably as a punishment for being too clever. This feeling made her want to cry but have no tears.
"No, my guess must be correct. This should be the Shinto Temple. From the moment I stepped into the sea of clouds, I entered the Shinto Temple."
"I appeared here because I saw through everything and the sea of clouds disappeared automatically. So I must not be in the same place as those people who came to the temple to practice Taoism." Bai Ye thought to himself and sorted out everything again.
finally…
"According to what I said at the beginning, this should be the most suitable place for me to practice. The word 'I' that appears in the temple, could it be referring to the path to the 'true self' that I seek?"
"So, the Shinto Temple wants me to seek here, what is the path that suits me best?!" The more Bai Ye thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, it must be correct.
In this case, she naturally had to return to the temple, because she understood that the key to everything should be the word "I", and the sudden enlightenment she had sensed before should be the clues to unlock everything.
After thinking for a while, Bai Ye sat obediently in front of the word "I" and began to stare and think. Another year passed, and during this process, her cultivation did not make any progress at all.
Even her understanding did not make any progress at all!
If this had happened in the past, Bai Ye would have been unable to sit still. Since she started practicing, she had never "wasted" time like this. Every time she went into seclusion for a long time, her cultivation level would surely increase rapidly.
But this time, she sat still, because during this year of meditation, she vaguely realized that the most suitable way of cultivation for her should actually be in her body! It came from her blood and her soul.
Time passed quickly. Bai Ye had been meditating in front of the word "I" for three years, but she had forgotten the time and was immersed in a state of enlightenment.
“Swish!”
