Chapter 327: Why Not Cheat?
Chapter 327: Why Not Cheat?
"Damn, this is dark!"
In Jiangnan's Hidden Sword Manor, Lv Yang's primary Immortal Spirit gazed through the Golden String Puppet, clearly observing the plight of his soul fragment trapped within the No Heaven Realm.
This was the crux of the second calamity.
'According to collected intelligence, the No Heaven Realm's second trial differs drastically from the first. Cultivators lose all past memories this time.'
'Their histories become veiled, forcing them to embody the Primordial True Man's identity completely. Though memories return after leaving the realm, it feels like waking from a dream. But this process has clear flaws—something's off, no matter how I look at it!'
'Fortunately, I sent only a soul fragment!'
So far, Lv Yang had never risked his primary consciousness entering the No Heaven Realm personally, hesitating due to suspicion of the system.
Mind corruption was a minor concern—what if the Realm could track intrusions?
What if my core self entered the No Heaven Realm first, and the Primordial True Man instantly noticed: 'Wait, another Immortal Spirit here? Let me investigate!'
Though the Primordial True Man hadn't demonstrated the Golden Core Sovereign's might, and the No Heaven Realm seemed weaker than other Fruit Positions, Lv Yang refused to gamble on their capabilities. Better to sacrifice a soul fragment than risk everything.
'Though this method has advantages.'
This explained Lv Yang's confidence in overcoming the second trial—his primary consciousness could support the fragment externally!
Normally impossible.
Holy Sect True Monarchs had tried sending soul fragments, only to find connections severed upon entering the No Heaven Realm, making cheating futile.
But Lv Yang was different.
'The Golden String Puppet's link remains unbroken by the No Heaven Realm!'
Realizing this, Lv Yang grew determined. Monitoring Dangmo True Man's battlefield while focusing his mind, he resolved to clear the second trial swiftly.
'I've already reached Foundation Building Initial Perfection.'
His soul fragment, fully immersed as the Primordial True Man, muttered: 'Life-Bound Divine Ability achieved, Karmic Merit, Fortune cultivation complete.'
'The Celestial Vanguard Terrestrial Sha technique secured.'
Before him floated ethereal water—Ren Water, manifesting as clouds above and marshes below, the purest yang essence.
Memories whispered: consuming this would breakthrough to Foundation Building Mid-Stage, advancing his ideals. Yet despair surged, crushing his expression into darkness.
'But what use is it?!'
He swatted the Ren Water away, snarling: 'My path is severed! Even cultivation won't secure a Fruit Position!'
The first trial's memory surfaced—the Heaven-Earth Confrontation Dragon-Tiger Yin-Yang Grand Formation, 180 Celestial Maidens. That battle had left him shattered, his path blocked.
'I sought Everflowing Water, but four-grade qi foundation has innate flaws. My peak cultivation stagnates at Foundation Building Perfection!'
'Worse yet, Dao cultivation forbids reincarnation.'
'Beasts! How you mock me!'
Where lay salvation?
Lv Yang's soul fragment sank deeper into despair. Outside, his primary consciousness grasped the trial's essence.
'Complete immersion in the Primordial True Man's plight, finding escape through unyielding Dao heart—only then can one breakthrough. Undoubtedly, overcoming this trial through personal resolve strengthens one's Divine Consciousness and spirituality.'
Provided one didn't cheat like Lv Yang.
Still, he felt no envy. Compared to minor spiritual gains, survival mattered most.
Activating the Golden String Puppet, he acted.
To him, this trial was trivial. Even without cheating, entering himself would've been effortless.
After all, this adversity held no terror.
If trapped in such a Dao aberration, he wouldn't despair. His instincts demanded one simple solution:
'Why not cheat?'
Was it reluctance? Lv Yang adjusted the thought slightly, implanting it into his soul fragment.
'Restart! Of course!'
'Die by suicide, reincarnate five times, let karma cleanse the soul, and begin anew!'
'I've grasped it!'
The Primordial True Man incarnation instantly drew its Sword Core, slashing across its neck with effortless flair.
Spattering blood!
Above the No Heaven Realm's cloud seas, the Primordial True Man sat cross-legged, observing countless light streams reflecting Foundation-Building True Men's trials.
'Ah? Another breakthrough in the second trial?'
Their eyes snapped open, joy flickering before focusing on one stream: 'And such speed too?'
Recognizing Lv Yang's soul fragment, surprise deepened: 'Could this be guided by that True Monarch behind him?'
Suddenly intrigued, they mused: 'How did they breakthrough?'
In their memory, facing endless despair once drove them to madness, only overcoming it after countless trials.
They'd categorized three methods:
First, transcending through unshakable Dao heart—persevering despite hopelessness.
Second, pragmatic progression—enduring, breakthrough first.
Third, surrender—accepting mediocrity, devoid of hope or ambition.
Any method defeating despair counted.
Yet the first remained supreme—cultivation demands relentless pursuit. How else could one attain enlightenment?
But watching the stream, their expression twisted. Swallowing the light, they sensed the soul fragment's resolve.
'Suicide for reincarnation? Extremely radical!'
The Primordial True Man perceived no despair—only genuine belief in this method.
'If I attain enlightenment, past and present selves remain one. If not, distinctions matter little.'
A long silence fell.
Suddenly, they erupted into laughter: 'Brilliant! A true "fresh start"! Unyielding Dao heart indeed—few could dare this!'
Who doesn't fear death? Who welcomes reincarnation?
Yet someone embraced rebirth so readily, mirroring their own obsession with self-preservation through endless transformations!
Calculating heavenly mechanisms, scheming for ages, becoming this half-beast, half-man existence—all for another chance.
To discard everything yet decide rebirth alone required unparalleled determination. Even the Primordial True Man felt respect.
'If enlightenment is attained, I shall learn from this!'
