Chapter 143: The Great Era
Washing away the sins of the world? Two Daoists and a monk? There were two more, all of whom appeared during the Great Era.
It sounds like they are the heroes who save the world… But, isn’t the Snow Mountain Sect a detached existence that doesn’t get involved in worldly affairs or participate in any disputes? Aren’t they just devoted to cultivation?
Seeing my puzzled expression, Sister Jenny sighed and said, “The three founders of the Snow Mountain Sect, the ancestors of the Snow Mountain Sect… were the most orthodox inheritors of the Chinese Taoist tradition at the time. One of them was also a high-level Buddhist monk in China since Buddhism became popular in China. He was also a high-level Buddhist monk in China since Buddhism became popular in China. He was also a high-level Buddhist monk in China since Buddhism became popular in China. He was also a high-level Buddhist monk in China since Buddhism became popular in China. He was also a high-level Buddhist monk in China since Buddhism became popular in China. He was also a high-level Buddhist monk in China since Buddhism became popular in China. He was also a high-level Buddhist monk in China since Buddhism became popular in China. He was also a high-level Buddhist monk in China since Buddhism became popular in China. He was also a high-level Buddhist monk According to legend, the three founders of the Snow Mountain Sect were truly immortal beings who had achieved enlightenment. They should have ascended to heaven, but they could not bear to leave the world and were filled with compassion. They stayed on earth for another twenty years and founded the Snow Mountain Sect. The Snow Mountain Sect does not get involved in human disputes because those disputes are not worth getting involved in. The real purpose of the Snow Mountain Sect is to protect our country. Do you understand? The Snow Mountain Sect is there to protect it!
“But I am a disciple of the Old Li lineage, and I will never…” I still have a weak sense of class, but I have to admit that Jenny’s words have captivated my heart… In order to protect, to protect this land, then the existence of the Snow Mountain lineage is how transcendent.
And the responsibility on the shoulders of everyone who enters the Snow Mountain lineage is also so natural and unavoidable… I suddenly understood why the Snow Mountain lineage has insisted on recruiting the best young people in the circle of cultivators for so many years, because its very existence is to protect.
“Are you still stupid? The Snow Mountain lineage has no class distinction. You can be the successor of the Old Li lineage and then the master of the Snow Mountain lineage… because the common goal is to protect! Chengyi, this is a duty… your appearance means that the Snow Mountain lineage has something that it must do, which means that the disaster can already threaten our mighty China… the successor should be born in the great era.” Jenny’s gaze also revealed melancholy.
She probably also knew that the ultimate goal of our Li family was to completely eliminate the remnants of the Kunlun disaster in this world, but it involved the incident of Yang Sheng in the middle… So, could Yang Sheng’s madness bring about such a catastrophe?
I never thought that fate would write it like this, and that it would end up being a confrontation between me and Yang Sheng…
“Jenny, what exactly is the Great Era?” I often heard my master use this phrase, and now it had come out of Jenny’s mouth. I was filled with curiosity about this Great Era… Then I couldn’t help but ask Jenny, “You said the owner of the Snow Mountain lineage is the new Two Daoist Masters and One Monk. I’m a Daoist, so are the others here for the same purpose as me?”
Jenny took out her iron flask, took a sip, and said, “No, they haven’t appeared yet… but they will definitely appear in another way. The so-called great era can be seen as a turbulent era, an era of surging undercurrents, but also an era full of opportunities and vitality… Since the industrial revolution ushered in a technological era, various forces related to “cultivation” have gradually declined and hidden… People no longer focus on the human heart, whether it is the chivalry that has spread in the West or the loyalty, righteousness, and filial piety that have spread in the East… Those positive, beautiful… forces related to the human heart have gradually been ignored by people. The Great Era is an era that will reawaken people’s hearts, an era that is accompanied by disaster, destruction, and rebirth… In this era, many things will happen, allowing the spiritual practitioners and some of the beliefs of the heart to once again appear in the world… And whether it is me or you, we are only at the beginning of this era. No one knows what the future of such an era will be like, or what kind of heroes will emerge. You can understand it as a world where there will be a new martial arts arena. The martial artists who have been hiding for many years will all be born again and enter this arena. As time goes by, more and more ordinary people will know about this arena. This is an era that no one can predict.
Jenny said all that in one breath, then took another sip of wine. Obviously, she couldn’t really define this era. I could only feel that this era should be one in which heroes emerge… a time of great passion that even influences the future direction of humanity… truly an era that people yearn for.
Just listening to her made my blood boil… I feel that I have lived a worthwhile life, having been able to see the arrival of this great era.
Jenny looked at me and said, “Chengyi… and our battle is the beginning of the great era… do you understand? The beginning of an era! As this era unfolds, more and more people’s spiritual power will be awakened… we will be closer and understand life more. But it could also lead to destruction… But I’ve always been like your master, always believing… that there is a pure heart in everyone’s heart. More and more people will peel away their own hearts and live according to their hearts… This great era is supposed to come, it is not destruction, it is rebirth.”
“It’s a new life…” I mumbled.
Jenny said, “Chengyi, you are the protagonist of the opening match of the great era… You should feel honored that you can strive for such a meaning in your life, which is better than living a mediocre life for hundreds of years… You don’t have to ask who the other master of the Snow Mountain lineage will be. The protagonists who come to the world in times of crisis… are all great crises… and these crises are also destined to be different, and they will all be your responsibility on your shoulders. Now, you are a master, and you have ushered in the first disaster… No matter who is in the Snow Mountain lineage, including me, we will fight with you… because we are all here to protect! And also because the great era is a new beginning, not destruction.
For some reason, Jenny’s words made my eyes a little red… Then I looked at Jenny and said, “But why is it that among so many senior and talented people, I, a mere nobody, am the protagonist of this battle?”
“God’s arrangement always has its own meaning… and which story’s protagonist isn’t a young person? There are infinite possibilities in you… Don’t think too much. If you weren’t the right person, your blood couldn’t have opened the formation on the copper coin sword! It is also impossible to mobilize the yang energy on the copper coin sword… Even if you have profound and profound skills and forcibly use this copper coin sword… the remnant soul of the generation-to-generation guardian sealed by the ancestor of the Xueshan lineage in the sword will not appear in front of you… There are three such artifacts in the Xueshan lineage, each of which is sealed with the power of three ancestors! If it is not the destined person, it is impossible to discover the secret… even if you know it, it is impossible to use it. Therefore, Chengyi, you don’t need to belittle yourself… These things are all related to fate, destiny, and the arrangements of heaven… Besides…” Jenny’s expression suddenly became a little melancholy, and she pinched the wine jug and suddenly took a few sips of wine.
“What’s wrong, Jenny?” I looked at Jenny with some confusion.
“Besides, you are also carrying out his mission. He wanted to finish what he couldn’t do in his lifetime, and he wanted to do it through you. What a stubborn and persistent man he was… Unfortunately, his persistence and stubbornness were all based on his own righteousness and his own way… they would never be used on a little woman like me, and they would never be used on my love for my children.” After saying this, Jenny smiled wryly and said nothing more. Instead, she turned and walked into the seemingly endless darkness outside the door.
My master and I looked at each other… I asked my master, “Did you know about the great era?”
“It wasn’t me… it was your grandmaster. Let’s go, Chengyi, it’s time to go up… the great power of the Snow Mountain lineage has calculated that, as of now, there is at most one month left before the war… we only have one month left.” My master’s voice revealed the vicissitudes of life.
“Yes, let’s go, let’s go up.” I nodded.
As I walked out the door with my master, I realized that we were in an extraordinary and magical place that I couldn’t describe… Could this be the true face of the underground caves of the Snow Mountain Sect?
