Yin-Yang Hehuan Wine? Why does this name sound so strange? The Underworld God looked at Long Chen but did not drink the wine.
Long Chen smiled slightly and said, "The name of this wine sounds a bit odd, like something like that, but it's actually not what you imagine." The
name of this wine was indeed Yin-Yang Hehuan Wine. It sounded somewhat improper, but in fact, it was brewed by a master from the Wine God Palace.
This person held a very high status in the Wine God Palace, second only to the High Priest. However, he rarely appeared in public. Long Chen had visited the Wine God Palace many times but had only met him twice.
Obviously, when the Nether God heard this name, he thought it was some kind of spring wine, especially when Long Chen mentioned it, his eyes clearly showing a hint of lechery, which made him even more suspicious.
But then again, it was just something from the mortal realm. Even if she suppressed her divine power, a bowl of wine wouldn't do anything to her.
Long Chen felt awkward under the Underworld God's gaze. This thing couldn't be explained; explanation was just a cover-up, and once it was covered, it became the truth. Long Chen merely gestured, signaling that once she drank it, she would understand.
The Underworld God picked up the wine bowl and took a light sip. Two different forces surged on his tongue, endlessly entangling, creating an indescribable feeling.
"This Yin-Yang Hehuan Wine is truly magical. You can try it—drink three sips in a row, each sip bigger than the last." Long Chen looked at the Nether God and said.
Following Long Chen's method, the Underworld God tried it. The alcohol could stack, creating a wave-like impact in his mouth. Under the balance of yin and yang, it intoxicated the soul.
"Yin-Yang Hehuan Wine is brewed by a master from the wine nation. There are fifty recipes in total, but in reality, you can only taste forty-nine. One of them disappeared during the brewing process." Long Chen said.
"Why is that?" The Underworld God asked in confusion.
Long Chen smiled. It seemed the cultivation path of gods was completely different from that of humans. Using human theories to fool them seemed feasible.
Long Chen said seriously, "The number of Dayan is fifty, and forty-nine of them are used, so heaven and earth are incomplete, and universe is not full."
Because of its incompleteness and dissatisfaction, it can evolve myriad paths, like a bottle filled with beans; the beans inside cannot move or run, and will eventually become lifeless.
But if you pour out some beans and leave the bottle full, the beans can keep changing positions. When they start running, the world inside the bottle comes alive.
On a larger scale, a jar contains hundreds of bottles. By the same principle, bottles need their own space to move the jar.
Above the wine jar is the cellar, above the cellar is the distillery, and as you magnify it in sequence, it can magnify to the stars, to the universe. Its principle will never change.
If we push forward, we see the big through the small, the trees to see the mountains, the stars to peer into the universe, and the finite years to push the eternal river.
If we reverse the logic, we see the small by the big, the operation of the universe and the alternating of eternal space-time—what kind of force does it need to drive it forward?
It is precisely because of the missing part that we can continuously break through barriers. In this world, there is no absolute perfection; once perfect, it disappears completely. Upon
hearing Long Chen's words, the Nether God unknowingly stood up, a strange light flashing in his eyes. Long Chen's words were as thought-provoking as the evening drum and morning bell.
The knot that had weighed down her heart was gradually unraveling, and everything she couldn't see became clearer and clearer.
Seeing the Underworld God's expression, Long Chen felt secretly pleased. His theory was all intuition transmitted from the Nine Star Overlord Body Technique.
The Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique was like a ruler—he could only grasp a tiny bit, and using such a ruler to measure the infinite world would be extremely difficult.
But as the saying goes, no matter how things change, the same principle remains. As Long Chen progresses, his ruler will only grow longer. If he masters one foot now, tomorrow he can master a zhang, the day after he can master a li. One day, he will be able to measure the entire cultivation world.
So even in front of a deity, he still dared to bluff. Seeing the joy and gratitude on the Underworld God's pretty face, Long Chen was overjoyed.
"Come, sit down and make another one."
Whatever the Underworld God drank, Long Chen drank accordingly. This was also to better experience the effects and synchronize with the Underworld God. Long Chen's wine boosted the hero's courage and reached out to pull the Underworld God to sit down.
As a result, the Underworld God, pulled by Long Chen, actually sat down obediently, picked up the wine Long Chen handed him, clinked it with Long Chen, and drank it in one gulp.
"Thank you. Your theories are truly brilliant. They have opened my eyes and taught me a lot." The Underworld God couldn't help but sigh.
She never imagined that someone from the mortal realm could speak such profound theories, far more thought-provoking than those divine scriptures and immortal scriptures.
Long Chen's theory is simple and easy to understand, making it easy to grasp at a glance, but upon actual reflection, it is profound and truly impressive.
Long Chen switched to another type of wine, raised his bowl, clinked it with the Underworld God, and said, "Let's finish this bowl first, then return to the topic you mentioned earlier." "
Did I bring up the topic?" The Underworld God was slightly stunned, but still drank the wine in her bowl. Unconsciously, a faint flush had begun to appear on her jade-like face, though she herself was still unaware of it.
"Did you forget? Just now while drinking, you said that such fine wine exists in the mortal world, so why do people dream every day of becoming immortal or god? Long Chen said.
"Yes, I did say it. If you hadn't said it, I almost forgot." The Underworld God smiled.
As she spoke, she took the initiative to lift the wine jar and pour Long Chen wine, her face full of anticipation. She really enjoyed drinking and chatting with Long Chen now.
Long Chen was overjoyed. Damn, the god personally poured me wine—this is awesome, I could brag about it for a lifetime.
"This time I toast you with a bowl—this bowl for your brilliant theories and profound knowledge." The Underworld God raised his wine bowl and said.
"Gan,"
Long Chen laughed heartily and finished the fine wine in his bowl in one gulp.
Long Chen felt the intoxication rise and secretly glanced at the Underworld God, only to see her face flushed slightly, showing no unusual reaction.
Damn it, if this keeps up, before she even gets down, I'm going to be overturned. This isn't good.
The Nether God had clearly suppressed the power of the gods, so how could he still drink so much? You have to know, Long Chen's tolerance for alcohol is quite terrifying.
Long Chen had come prepared this time. Although these fine wines appeared to be taken out casually, in reality, they were all carefully prepared.
At first, these liquors didn't feel very strong, but when mixed together, they became intense. Long Chen himself wouldn't dare drink like this normally.
Especially some of the wines, which have a lingering aftereffect. After being stimulated by some of them, even Long Chen found it hard to handle.
Long Chen had once secretly drunk ginseng wine to Gu Yang and the others, but after one bowl, he knocked everyone down and couldn't wake up for three days.
But now, after drinking more than ten jars with the Underworld God, the Underworld God was fine, while Long Chen was starting to struggle.
"No, if this keeps up, she'll overturn us." Seeing the Underworld God raise another bowl of wine, it seemed like he was about to drink three bowls in a row.
After Long Chen drank the wine, the chaotic space trembled slightly, and the fine wine he drank was sent into the chaotic space, but his appearance was flawless—truly unnoticed.
"I've already toasted you three bowls in a row, which is my apology for my earlier recklessness. Now we can continue with what we just discussed." The Underworld God smiled.
Clearly, she was apologizing for previously using divine wine to trick Long Chen. Long Chen took out another jar of wine and poured as he said,
"I said before, your question was well asked—not flattery, but truly skillful. It hit the nail on the head and hit the nail on the head, revealing the essence of all living things."
"What fundamental?" The Underworld God asked.
"Desire,"
Long Chen put down the wine jar and stopped drinking. Even though he could send the wine in his stomach into the chaotic space, the moment it entered the mouth, he would absorb a significant amount of the wine's strength. He needed to slow down, or he wouldn't be able to hold on.
Long Chen continued, "Desire isn't a positive or negative word, but many people see it as a negative one.
Desire is the driving force that drives us forward; it is our longing to explore the true meaning of life, pointing the way for our efforts.
But once desire is no longer bound by reason, it expands infinitely and eventually causes one to lose their true nature.
The most basic desire of mortals is to eat and wear warmth. After a meal, they want to live comfortably. Once they have no worries, they want to rise to noble rank and become prime minister. After becoming marquis or prime minister, they think about ascending the throne and becoming emperor. After becoming emperor, they fear death but also wish for immortality. If only they could live forever... Long
Chen said this. Deliberately pausing for a sip of wine, the Nether God listened intently and hurriedly asked, "What about after immortality?" Long
Chen laughed and said, "After becoming immortal, you'll start thinking about finding ways to get yourself killed." The
Underworld God laughed: "Are you trying to curse me in a roundabout way?" "
The Nether Goddess's current status is already seen by mortals as an immortal being, but in order to break through, she actually split herself—isn't that just courting disaster?"
Long Chen also laughed, waving his hand and saying, "I don't have the guts. What I mean is, human desires are infinite."
After satisfying a desire and reaching a certain time, new desires arise, constantly setting goals for oneself. Therefore, whether human or deity, to live, one must have a goal.
However, many people are driven by desire, becoming addicted, focusing only on their goals and neglecting many other important things. "
Important things?" The Nether God looked at Long Chen and said.
Long Chen switched to another kind of wine, drank a bowl with the Nether God, looked into her eyes, and said, "Yes, that kind of thing is called happiness. Cang Yue, let me ask you, are you happy?" "
Happy?"
The Underworld God was stunned, his eyes instantly turning red, as if recalling some painful past. At the same time, a strong murderous intent began to brew in his eyes.
Long Chen was startled. If the Nether God's killing intent arises, the divine power returns, and the alcohol disappears, all his previous efforts will be wasted.
"Come on, I'll take you to do some happy things." Without giving Long Chen a chance to respond, he grabbed the Nether God's hand and was about to run outside.
