Chapter 1118 – Miscellaneous Thoughts

　　”Finding the Pure Land of the Heart in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, I can understand, but why must I recite the name of your Holy Lord of the Western Holy Sect?”

　　”The reason for reciting the Lord’s name is to echo the Kingdom of Heaven, to perceive its existence, and to reduce the difficulty of entering it.” Michael said calmly, “If your heart is pure and flawless enough without distractions to be able to step into the Heavenly Kingdom in a single step, then naturally there is no need to recite the Lord’s name, but aside from newborn infants, very few people are able to make it this far.”

　　Lin Qiye nodded, “Understood …… Then when do we go in?”

　　”Now.”

　　Michael stood up from his seat and arrived outside the cabin in a flash, his figure rapidly drew up, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a giant, with six white feathered wings stretching out from His back, resuming his original incandescent angel appearance.

　　He was shrouded in divine golden light, like a sun, dispersing the mists and the darkness of the sea, and the golden mist rolled over one after another, shaking people’s eyes.

　　He hovered in the air, his furnace-like eyes sweeping over the cabin, speaking faintly:

　　”I’ll wait for you in the Heavenly Kingdom first, so hurry up.”

　　The six wings behind His back lightly vibrated, and His figure instantly disappeared in place, the endless golden aura faded like a tidal wave, and the world once again plunged into a pitch-black dead silence.

　　Inside the cabin, Lin Qiye and the others glanced at each other, both seeing the helplessness in the other’s eyes.

　　”Begin.”

　　An Qingyu laid Jiang’er’s coffin by her side and sat down in place herself, while Lin Qiye and Shen Qingzhu similarly sat on the deck with their knees crossed, their figures swaying gently with the ship.

　　Lin Qiye slowly closed his eyes.

　　”Get rid of distractions and find the pure land of the mind ……,” Lin Qiye muttered.

　　Back in the training camp, the instructors had taught some methods to empty the mind and quickly enter meditation mode, and although he didn’t know if there was any difference between the Pure Land of the Mind required to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and this process, he shouldn’t be wrong about the piece of discarding distractions.

　　He took a deep breath and fantasized about a crystal clear crystal in his mind, gradually emptying his brain of thoughts as his entire body sat still like a stone sculpture.

　　Lin Qiye’s consciousness quickly sank, one thought after another crossed his mind, but they were only like shooting stars falling from the sky, flickering away, none of them were able to tug at his mind and divert his attention away.

　　At this moment, he seems to be in a clean white corridor, both sides are closed doors, he stared at the end of the corridor, the door of the room, decisive steps forward, do not look at the surrounding doors half, even if there are occasional distracting thoughts rolled up on the mind, but also be quickly suppressed by him.

　　If it was before he used the Ghost God Guide to subdue the Divine Monument, Lin Qiye’s desire to get rid of distracting thoughts, break through the confusion, and search for his inner purity might have been incredibly difficult, but after a resurrection from the dead, his thoughts had long since been clear, and the path under his feet was clearer than ever before.

　　Soon, Lin Qiye stood in front of the door of his innermost heart, reached out his hand, and gently gripped the handle of the door of the room ……

　　Inside the rocking cabin, the four figures closed their eyes tightly and didn’t move a muscle, leaving only the sound of tumbling waves and the creaking sound of the deck gently swaying echoing in the air.

　　Suddenly, a faint white light flashed, and Jiang Er, who was lying in the coffin, disappeared into thin air, as if he had never appeared.

　　After a few seconds passed, Lin Qiye, who was sitting in the center, opened his lips lightly and seemed to chant something softly, his body similarly flashed with a flash of white light, and his entire body disappeared.

　　Lin Qiye only felt his body suddenly brighten around him, and when he opened his eyes, he realized that he was already on top of a clean white cloud.

　　To be precise, this was a piece of ground made up of countless clouds converging together, the clouds rolled over and one could see the clean white masonry hidden within them, his feet stepped in the cloudy air and he raised his head to look up at the sky, the azure blue dome of the sky was close at hand as if by reaching out one’s hand, one would be able to touch this piece of sky.

　　Not far away from him, a golden angel with six wings on its back was quietly suspended in the air, emitting a holy light all over.

　　”Welcome to the Kingdom of Heaven.” Michael spoke faintly.

　　”This is the Kingdom of Heaven?” Lin Qiye looked around, and other than white clouds and blue sky, he didn’t see anything else for the time being.

　　”Huh!”

　　The young girl’s surprised voice came from behind Lin Qiye.

　　He turned his head to look, only to see that Jiang’er was wearing a white dress, standing barefoot between the clouds and air, looking down at her hands with a look of surprise in her eyes, “My main body didn’t come over, but the magnetic field came in? Why is this?”

　　”Because dead things cannot enter the heavens.” Michael in the sky calmly explained, “Your main body has no vitality and cannot come here, but your consciousness survives in the form of a magnetic field, so it temporarily divorced your magnetic field from your physical body and only incorporated your magnetic field.”

　　Jiang’er nodded thoughtfully.

　　A moment later, another white aura flashed by and An Qingyu’s form appeared beside Lin Qiye, slowly opening his eyes and surveying his surroundings with the same curiosity.

　　When Lin Qiye saw his appearance, an idea suddenly surfaced in his mind, since the condition for entering the Heavenly Kingdom was a pure mind, wouldn’t the order in which they entered the Heavenly Kingdom also reflect how many distractions they had in their minds?

　　According to the current situation, Jiang Er’s mind was the purest, she had almost no distractions in her mind, then herself who had been resurrected from the dead, and An Qingyu was the third to come in, which meant that he should have quite a lot of distractions in his mind as well, most likely related to his desire for knowledge……. What about Drag Brother?

　　Lin Qiye looked around and didn’t see Shen Qingzhu’s figure.

　　”Where’s Brother Tug?” He asked.

　　”I don’t know.” An Qingyu shook her head, “When I came in, Brother Tug seemed to still be sitting outside.”

　　It seems like Shen Qingzhu has quite a few distractions in his mind. ……

　　Lin Qiye nodded slightly, “Then we’ll wait for him for a while.”

　　Cabin.

　　The waves lapped on the deck, emitting a low hum, and the candle flame on the table was about to burn to the end, shaking one after another.

　　Inside the empty cabin, only a figure clad in a crimson cloak remained, sitting quietly on the ground, his brows slightly furrowed, his fists placed on his knees clenched uncontrollably, and drops of sweat seeped out from the corners of his forehead.

　　Shen Qingzhu’s eyes snapped open and his breathing became ragged.

　　He slowed down in place for a while, looking down at his hands in a daze, his expression was complicated.

　　He had …… too many distractions.

　　Whenever Shen Qingzhu tried to enter a meditative state and empty his brain, the images of the tragic monument guarding battle on the Pamir Plateau would surge up to his heart uncontrollably, and the anger, self-reproach, and sense of powerlessness were like surging ocean waves, rushing his mind and soul.

　　He could not empty himself, and he could not enter the pure land of the mind …… just like he was never able to enter his sleep peacefully in these days.
