Chapter 224 Settlement
The mind-mimicking monster can only spy on mortals or low-level cultivators. If it can even track powerful individuals, then the effect will be too strong.
But Su Yun is an exception.
He possesses great fortune, even capable of suppressing fate, thus unearthing seemingly impossible fragments in the long river of time.
In other words, if Xiao Qingchen were to obtain the Mind-Imitating Monster, he could achieve the same effect.
but!
The Mind-Imitating Monster isn't as strong as one might imagine. Aside from the top experts of the Heavenly Origin Realm, it requires a further advancement in one's Dao Heart to be effective.
If they encounter other powerful beings, they can easily detect the mind-mimicking monster's spying and sever the connection.
Some mortals and low-level cultivators, as chosen ones, have no need to delve into their past.
In other words, apart from the group of people in front of the Heart-Seeking Path, very few people need the Heart-Imitation Monster's help.
Su Yun presented the mind-simulating monster, which quickly reproduced Fairy Chenyu's greatest inner demon.
"This..." Ancestor Cangmu's tone also carried pity, "How should we resolve this inner demon in the fairy's heart?"
Fairy Chenyu looked at the dissipating phantom and shook her head with a smile: "It's just some past events, all gone now."
"It would be a blessing to see each other again."
Her greatest pain was seeing her own flesh and blood die in front of her.
As people of the Northern Region, we should regard life as worthless, live only for war, and be unafraid of death.
But after witnessing her son's death, Fairy Chenyu suddenly realized her mistake and lost her interest in conquest.
After a thousand years of cultivation, she accidentally discovered the Path of Inquiry into the Heart, and thus settled here again, attempting to take the final step.
Unlike the domineering nature of King Taibai, Fairy Chenyu is still full of love.
A thousand years of cultivation had softened her heart, making her seem unlike the type to harm illusions of her family.
You should know that the illusions in the Path of Inquiry are no different from reality and cannot be distinguished at all.
Ancestor Cangmu showed rare concern: "Are you really sure you can do it?"
"You've probably already seen this illusion of yours on the path of self-examination, haven't you?"
Fairy Chenyu nodded gently: "That's right, I do see them every time I embark on the Path of Inquiry."
"Even after 1,453 years, their faces are still clear."
Ancestor Cangmu remained silent for a long time: "Now that you have already seen it, how can you avoid it if you set foot on it again?"
Fairy Chenyu chuckled: "Why avoid it?"
Ancestor Cangmu frowned slightly: "Not avoid it? How can we annihilate the inner demons if we don't avoid them..."
Fairy Chenyu let out a soft breath: "The inner demon is also a part of me..."
hum!
A gentle spring breeze suddenly blew.
The trees, springs, stones, and soil that had been prostrate in submission because of King Tai Bai's domineering ways suddenly straightened up.
Whether living or dead, everything suddenly came to life in this gentle yet astonishing aura.
"Squeak squeak squeak—" Thousands upon thousands of forest spirits rushed out from the crevices, jumping and leaping joyfully.
hum!
The powerful figures present were swept over by this force, and their expressions involuntarily brightened.
Ancestor Cangmu scanned the area with his divine sense and exclaimed in astonishment, "He's fully recovered?!"
His method of traversing the path of self-examination was to ignite his own soul.
At least one's own judgment is greater than the illusions created by the mind, and thus one can distinguish between reality and illusion.
However, this would cause enormous consumption and damage to the body, which even the Great Sage could hardly withstand.
Ancestor Cangmu thought he would need to recuperate for a few years before challenging the Path of Inquiry again, after the others.
Unexpectedly, as the gentle spring breeze blew by, his injuries began to heal rapidly.
As granulation tissue grew from the wound, the spirit was filled, and even the weariness of the soul was rapidly restored.
The other powerful individuals were also taken aback: "Such powerful medical magic!"
They gathered here, all bearing injuries to varying degrees.
The fact that a saint is immortal does not mean he is immune to injury.
Those damages that can cause trouble for the Holy Realm are often difficult to eliminate.
But after this gentle spring breeze, the injuries on these powerful individuals were almost completely healed.
"Chen Yu, you... have become a quasi-emperor!" King Taibai was shocked.
hiss!
All the powerful figures stared wide-eyed at Fairy Chenyu in disbelief.
Fairy Chenyu flicked a finger, and a gentle spring breeze swirled around it, exuding a comforting aura.
She smiled slightly: "It seems so."
"Incredible skill!" Master Hongjue couldn't help but praise, "The fairy is truly gifted, able to reach this level without relying on the path of the heart."
Fairy Chenyu wasn't overly excited: "It's not that I have a special talent, but rather that this mind-mimicking monster made me officially decide to face my inner demons."
Master Hongjue lamented: "Everyone knows they have inner demons, but few can face and reconcile with them."
Fairy Chenyu was more resolute than King Taibai, and she also knew where her weakness lay.
The reason why he has not been able to resolve his inner demons is simply because he has not had an external trigger and has no clear concept of how to advance to the Great Emperor.
After Su Yun provided definitive information, Fairy Chenyu immediately decided to make peace with the past.
She was able to sever ties with the Northern Region and choose a path different from that of her people.
Now you can sever ties with your past self and begin a new journey.
After making her decision, Fairy Chenyu, relying on her past accumulation, was enough to become a quasi-emperor even without stepping onto the Path of Inquiry.
Sometimes, all it takes is a word of advice for someone to suddenly realize something.
Looking at the three Great Saints, two of whom had already become Quasi-Emperors, Ancestor Cangmu couldn't help but feel a pang of envy: "You two are not far from achieving the Emperor's throne."
Fairy Chenyu sighed: "Cangmu, you know our situation."
"I'm afraid... that's not possible."
Snapped!
Seeing that everyone's spirits were about to plummet again, King Taibai clapped his hands domineeringly: "Whether I become the Great Emperor or not, I don't know. I only know that my current quasi-emperor is an invincible existence here!"
"This child's help really worked!"
Swish swish!
Everyone immediately turned their heads, their eyes once again gleaming with a hungry light.
Su Yun revealed the mind-manipulating monster: "Your inner demon is..."
Swish!
Yan Jun embarked on the Path of Self-Examination and married 108 beautiful celestial beings in an illusion.
Then he took her to his senior classmate who had seduced him during their school days and humiliated her severely.
hum!
When he stepped out, he was refreshed and invigorated: "I have fulfilled my mission, Great Sage!"
Everyone was amazed. He hadn't become an emperor, but he had overcome his inner demons, his Dao heart was more steadfast, and his cultivation had improved considerably.
Su Yun, holding the mind-manipulating monster, asked, "What are you most afraid of...?"
Master Jinghui took only one step on the path of self-examination, yet it took him the equivalent of three incense sticks' worth of time.
He suddenly opened his eyes: "As a cult, I hesitated and didn't dare to carry out a massacre."
"This time, I really enjoyed the killing!"
boom!
Master Jinghui's Soul-Suppressing Heavenly Flame Technique has reached the Saint-grade level, making him one of the few in the entire Heavenly Origin Realm to achieve this.
"With this divine skill, whether I follow the Path of the Heart or not, I can reach the Emperor Realm!" He was overjoyed.
hum!
Ancestor Cangmu embarked on the Path of Inquiry and reached the thirty-sixth step in the blink of an eye.
He opened his eyes and said regretfully, "I never imagined that my strong will was lacking in cultivation."
Of the three Great Sages, only he failed to become a Quasi-Emperor.
Ancestor Cangmu is impeccable in other aspects, but because of his strong innate talent, he can always suppress those of the same level.
Therefore, his cultivation level was slightly lower than that of the other two Great Saints.
The Great Emperor, however, needs to be flawless and have a sufficient temperament, which ironically makes him stuck at the level of cultivation.
