The Lord of the Laws of Heaven

Chapter 165 Battle with Bai Suzhen
"Love is truly a terrifying thing. It has toyed with me for over sixty years. Now, when I recall it, it feels like I've just woken up from a nightmare." Bai Suzhen said quietly, "In this world, hypocrites are more detestable than villains!"

Xiao Jun stood aside and continued to calculate Bai Suzhen's vitality. Her martial arts was about 10% stronger than Wuming's. If Bai Suzhen wanted Xiao Jun to arm wrestle, Xiao Jun would naturally be happy to accompany her.

"You are called a demon? But your obsession is definitely not that. One person's love is nothing compared to the upside-down world! Tell me, what is your obsession as a demon!"

Bai Suzhen began to pace back and forth, then said to Xiao Jun in front of her, "What I pursue will definitely surprise you, and will definitely surprise everyone in the world! It is a completely different world, a world created by demons!"

"What?" Xiao Jun raised his eyebrows and asked back.

"I am a demon! I want to create a world." Xiao Jun captured the energy around Bai Suzhen and calculated that Bai Suzhen had an "eager" will.

"What I pursue is... equality for all, fairness and democracy!" Bai Suzhen said in a sonorous and powerful tone!

Turning to look at Xiao Jun, he saw that Xiao Jun's expression did not change at all. First, he had long understood Bai Suzhen's pursuit. Second, he had entered multiple worlds and had a wide range of knowledge, so he naturally knew that this was not something shocking.

"Why?" Bai Suzhen saw that Xiao Jun's expression hadn't changed at all, so she said to him, "You weren't the least bit surprised or surprised when you heard about my pursuit?"

Xiao Jun suddenly laughed. "I admire and delight in your pursuit! It's a shame you possess such extraordinary martial arts and wisdom, but I've never witnessed your efforts. I've never heard of your pursuits in the world! Yet you... huddled up in this Shaolin, amidst these ruins."

"That's because to accomplish such a grand plan, we need to turn the world upside down! And within Shaolin, there's a weapon capable of turning the world upside down! I... want that weapon to shape a new world!" Bai Suzhen's expression was serious. "Dharma once used his clairvoyance to see that weapon and said it would inevitably overturn the existing laws of the world."

"Ha..." Xiao Jun suddenly laughed. "Demon... I thought you were incredibly skilled in martial arts and intelligent, but I never expected you to be just a mortal with immense power! Do you know where the greatest weapon in the world, the one that can most powerfully shake the world, is?"

"Are you... mocking me?" Bai Suzhen felt an icy chill emanating from her body, causing the temperature to plummet. "What's your theory?"

"You say you want equality for all, but do you know how those common people are being oppressed?" Xiao Jun began to attack, trying to dispel Bai Suzhen's hostility, even trying to draw on her wisdom. "Ordinary people are being oppressed by officials, clans, and religious authorities."

"Women are even worse off. Besides suffering oppression from officials, clans, and theocracy, they also face the added oppression of husbands!"

"A world of oppression like this can't be solved with any weapons! You're actually seeking equality in Shaolin, a place so secluded from worldly affairs. Instead of addressing this oppression, you're hiding here. How ridiculous!"

"I've never dodged before!" Bai Suzhen frowned, but the chill around her began to dissipate, and the temperature around her began to warm up. "You... seem to agree with my philosophy of equality for all."

Xiao Jun understood that the probability of Bai Suzhen attacking him was greatly reduced, so he stopped pursuing her verbally and replied calmly:

"In my opinion, everyone is made up of primordial energy. This is physical equality. Everyone has a vivid soul, a heart that pursues happiness. This is mental equality. Everyone is equal... To me, this is not a new concept!"

"I'm pursuing the wonderful wisdom between heaven and earth. Every person's thoughts are a carrier of wisdom. I've imagined that if everyone's hearts were freed from oppression, freely releasing the splendor of their own wisdom, what a wonderful world that would be!"

"By then, I will have infinite wisdom!"

"What a pity... In this world, free souls are rare after all, and unbridled wisdom is also a treasure!" Xiao Jun sighed.

Even in the world of The Matrix, in the virtual world, it is difficult to completely release a free, shining and strong soul.

Many of those freedom guardians have fallen into spiritual death because their own desires have destroyed their free souls.

Just like the Mechanical Emperor in The Matrix, he once created an illusory world of heaven, but due to the evolution of human thought data, soul and desire, a large number of human thoughts fell into extinction.

Xiao Jun also conducted several small-scale simulations. He concluded that humans, in addition to being biological, are also social beings, requiring a complex dynamic balance to truly be alive. Ordinary people cannot endure heaven.

Therefore, the Matrix can only replicate the real world history of the past, simulate real human society, and absorb data for evolution.

Xiao Jun is also deducing the development of society and keeping it in a dynamic balance, so as to mobilize the vast amount of human wisdom data as resources.

But he will also select some people to break through the restrictions of the Matrix and become Watchers, allowing them to enjoy almost absolute freedom in the illusion to conduct experiments.

These people are people whose thinking and will have reached a certain standard. In fact, Xiao Jun relies on powerful computing power to advance technology, and technology has also begun to feed back and shape powerful computing power, making the matrix reach an extremely real state. It is almost impossible to break through the matrix by relying solely on personal will, and it can only rely on screening criteria.

The watchers often fall into depravity again and become addicted to illusions, and only a very few can hold on.

Those who persevere are Xiao Jun's best research subjects. However, among billions of humans, only a few are qualified to control their own souls and enjoy the freedom that belongs to them.

So Xiao Jun's exclamations were truly genuine; they were all based on experience gained from real sociological experiments. Because Xiao Jun mastered a fictitious matrix world, sociological experiments were much easier!
Even if sociological experiments eliminate a large number of people, after these large-scale experiments, their souls will be dissected and split using quantum technology, and will become nourishment very efficiently.

Seeing that Xiao Jun's emotion seemed to be sincere, Bai Suzhen completely withdrew the snow-cold energy around her.

"Strange... a master like you... normal mortals are like ants compared to you, yet you actually believe that everyone is equal?" "In my eyes, of course, everyone is extremely equal!" Xiao Jun said, calculating the movement of matter and thought data in his mind: "From the perspective of Yuan Qi, objectively observing people, they are naturally equal to the extreme. The only difference between me and ordinary people is the structure of Yuan Qi movement!"

"...extraordinary wisdom...transcends mundane desires." Bai Suzhen had heard Xiao Jun's unpretentious explanation before: "Then how can fairness be achieved?"

"I don't know..." Xiao Jun replied, "But I do know that within Shaolin, there absolutely is no weapon capable of fulfilling your dream! You must find the truth common to ordinary people and overthrow the false doctrines preached by emperors and sages."

"Only by finding that truth and using it as a weapon can you overthrow the world constructed by the current emperors and saints out of false principles!"

"Instead of pursuing this ridiculous weapon, if we can't remove the mountain in people's hearts, even if that weapon turns the world upside down, it will only be another form of oppression and exploitation!"

After hearing Xiao Jun's words, Bai Suzhen stopped talking and continued, "You actually think the words of the saints are false?"

"Truth and false truth are relative. The so-called saints are nothing more than incomplete truths. This incompleteness is naturally false! They have constructed this incomplete world!" Xiao Jun replied, "You... should leave Shaolin and seek the truth that belongs to the people. Rely on this truth to unite the people."

"Only by uniting the strength of all people can we overthrow this broken world and build a new one with the support of all people. Relying on a single external object or weapon will not allow you to achieve your dream."

"..."

"Eh..." After a long silence, Bai Suzhen sighed leisurely, her face seeming to reveal a hint of frustration. "You suddenly pointed it out to me. It seems I've been on the wrong path for a long time. But I've been in Shaolin for hundreds of years... I've already had a firm belief in my heart. Naturally, I won't give up, nor will I leave!"

"Why did you come to Shaolin?" Bai Suzhen asked Xiao Jun, "What do you want to do?"

"Rumor has it that there's a legend in Buddhism about an invisible and formless power... Mahamudra!" Xiao Jun said, "I came to Shaolin precisely to seek and explore the power of Mahamudra! It allows me to delve into the mysteries of heaven and earth!"

"Good...very good!" Bai Suzhen said to Xiao Jun, "That power...is within Shaolin's Wooden Man Alley...and I have also comprehended such a great power. Come with me!"

With that, Bai Suzhen's figure transformed into a black mist and vanished, seemingly dispersing into the void. Xiao Jun locked onto his Qi and began to circulate his Light Kung Fu. Within a few breaths, he arrived at a small alley. At the end of the alley, a white figure stood in a doorway with two words on it.

"Demon Residence..." Xiao Jun looked at the two words on the portal.

After Bai Suzhen walked in, she invited Xiao Jun to come in.

"This is where I live!" Bai Suzhen said, and casually summoned a thread-bound book. Several powerful dark auras, which seemed to have the power to extinguish all life, suddenly destroyed the entire hut, smashing the beams and roof into pieces, destroying the devil's residence.

Xiao Jun released his inner energy to block it, and Bai Suzhen directly threw the book to Xiao Jun.

The moment Xiao Jun took the book, a powerful force that could destroy everything suddenly flowed through the book and his arm and went straight to his chest.

Xiao Jun activated the Yin-Yang Hub and controlled the thunder method. The magnetic field rotated rapidly, and the human body's electromagnetic power system was strengthened by Xiao Jun's precise Yin-Yang electromagnetics. The emerging heavenly thunder force instantly collided with this all-destroying energy!

Suddenly, Bai Suzhen turned and rushed over, extending her palm and emitting unparalleled palm power! A violent wind and snowstorm swept around her, and from her palm was a cold and icy force that rushed straight towards Xiao Jun.

With his other hand, Xiao Jun relied on his powerfully reconstructed body to coordinate with the magnetic field generated by his own intelligent calculations, increasing his power by a hundred times! He directly counterattacked and slapped Bai Suzhen's palm.

"boom……"

A violent bombardment erupted, and Xiao Jun's muscles began to wriggle, dissipating the powerful impact. The stone slab beneath his feet shattered instantly. Even though Xiao Jun tried his best to dissipate the icy force, a violent impact still erupted from the impact of his palms. The compressed air then rippled!

A shock wave seemed to appear in the air, exploding between Xiao Jun and Bai Suzhen. The shock wave contained ice and snow and bursts of lightning.

They started competing in internal strength directly. Suddenly, a fire energy that could melt gold and iron appeared within Bai Suzhen's ice energy. The interaction of ice and fire gave birth to an incomparable destructive force.

This destructive force rushed towards Xiao Jun. The five energies in Xiao Jun's chest circulated and condensed into a destructive force from heaven...the power of heavenly thunder!
The violent force of heavenly thunder and the force of ice and fire collided, and two destructive forces fought against each other.

There was another loud bang! A powerful flash of lightning exploded where their palms met!
Xiao Jun activated the magnetic field deduced by himself, but he also took a half step back, while Bai Suzhen floated back directly to relieve Xiao Jun's powerful force.

"Good... that's powerful enough!" Bai Suzhen gathered her inner strength and roared, "If I had you... maybe I could really get through Wooden Man Alley."

However, Xiao Jun was able to keenly calculate that Bai Suzhen wanted to vent the frustration in her heart. Sure enough, Bai Suzhen was a little emotional after all, and she was just an ordinary person after all!
