Longevity starts with learning.

Chapter 1112: Strange Person
Dusk has deepened.

The man did not return home, or rather, his home was right here on the pier. A dilapidated little wooden boat was all his belongings.

At this time, there were naturally no customers at the market stall. The man quickly packed up his stall and returned to his boat.

A small stove, an old iron pot that had been used for who knows how long, and an unsold fish eventually became food to fill the man's stomach.

Chu Mu stood on the shore, still silently watching the man's every word and action.

On the surface, there was nothing special about the man.

He is just an ordinary fisherman, alone, poor and struggling to make a living.

However, after he successfully transformed into a mortal, he could vaguely feel a little bit of the context of this world.

There is no doubt that the world built specifically for mortals, the mundane, is the most core order.

Even if a mortal like him sinks into it and pretends to be ordinary, it is obvious that his essence is still that of a rule practitioner.

Therefore, the mortal being in this world can also appear on the world level like a candle in the darkness.

He became a mortal in this world, and when he succeeded, he sensed the heaven and earth. At the level of the rules of heaven and earth in this world, he sensed more than one aura that did not belong to this mundane world.

If this were the case, it could only mean that besides him, there were other great and powerful people who had attained the Dao and were practicing as mortals here.

This has little to do with him, and the most important thing is to stay away from it.

After all, he is only in the pseudo-fusion realm, while other cultivators are very likely to be in the real fusion realm, or even at a higher level.

No one is sure whether the encounter will be one of kindness or malice.

With an absolute power gap, once encountering each other, whether it is good or evil is just a matter of thought.

There was naturally no need for him to take the initiative to move forward.

However, among the many auras of mortals that he sensed, there was one that was extremely special.

Most of the other mortals are as bright and conspicuous as sparks.

But this one is as dim as a candle in the wind, and it reveals the indescribable meaning of the vanity of time.

Most importantly, he also vaguely felt that this breath seemed... to have existed in this world for a long, long time.

At least, it is definitely not the outsider who descended upon and entered the Taixu Illusionary Realm this time.

This is undoubtedly extremely intriguing.

According to his understanding, the illusory world of Taixu appears once every ten thousand years.

The time they stay in the real world is generally around a thousand years.

After thousands of years, all alien creatures that did not fall into the Great Illusion Realm would be expelled from the Great Illusion Realm.

He also confirmed this by talking with the Lord of Shenji City.

If this breath was not from an outsider who entered the Grand Illusionary Realm when it descended this time...

Who is that creature?

Of course, that’s all. In order to avoid unnecessary risks, he would never cause any more trouble.

The most important thing is that with the blessing of a touch of spiritual light, he keenly sensed that this breath seemed to have an inexplicable connection with this strange world.

This is what he cares about most.

This world may just be a day when the real world was intercepted by the Great Illusion Realm, but after the evolution of this Great Illusion Realm, it has undoubtedly become an extremely strange existence.

The reversal of time and space, the resetting of the world again and again, the changing of the fate of all living beings...

This kind of power must involve the rules and forces at the level of time, space, and destiny.

In terms of rules, time and space, fate is undoubtedly the most mysterious and difficult to understand. And in this world, all of this is undoubtedly reflected.

Even if all of this is just based on "illusion", since it has manifested, it has turned from false to true and exists truly and stably.

And this abnormal aura is connected to this world. Obviously, this abnormal aura can be used as an anchor point to glimpse the true core mystery of this world.

The premise is that he can lock onto the existence of this aura, and can control and even use it...

However, he was still unable to determine the exact location of this unusual aura as the sun rose and set again and again.

Until today, until now...

Chu Mu was very sure.

The poor and destitute man in front of him is the source of this aura.

As the next world reset and the time for it to happen again draws closer, the abnormal signs revealed by this ordinary man are becoming more and more obvious.

However, despite all these abnormalities, it seems that it is still difficult to break through this man's current mortal identity, just like...

"Degradation? Assimilation?"

Chu Mu was thoughtful.

Perhaps, he failed in his transformation into a mortal and completely sank into this gap in time and space, reincarnated and reset again and again, and was assimilated?

But then, Chu Mu rejected this speculation.

Judging from his experience of becoming a mortal in this world, the core of this world lies in becoming a mortal. The rules of the world and the secular order also lie here.

There might be risks in becoming a mortal, but this risk will definitely not cause a person who has achieved the Dao to be completely ruined.

It is even more impossible for this person who is in harmony with the Tao to completely merge with this world...

Or is there some other hidden cause?
Chu Mu pondered secretly, still silently observing this down-and-out young man.

Until midnight, when the world resets.

He originally thought that this man, or rather, that strange aura, would change his identity again as the world was reset.

But what is strange is that after the world is reset and reincarnation starts again, that strange aura is still on this man and his identity has not changed.

Perhaps the only change is that as the world resets, the abnormal signs on this man's body have become extremely faint, even difficult to detect.

It seems that, with each reincarnation, the connection between this child and this world has become closer and closer...

And when the world was about to reset again, the abnormality in this man gradually became more intense.

This cycle repeats itself again and again, with changes happening again and again.

This man seemed to be trapped in a cage. No matter how much time was reset and how many reincarnations he went through, he could not break free from the cage.

Thus, they are slowly assimilated by the world and become a part of it...

Chu Mu approached the man tentatively, but the two of them seemed to exist in two different dimensions.

So close, yet so far away.

He could not touch this man, nor could he sense his presence.

Another day begins, the sun rises, the man wakes up from his sleep, and repeats his day as usual.

Fishing, selling fish, lakeside, pier, boats...

Every word, every action, every move was repeated again and again, and was all within Chu Mu's perception.
