Waste Paper Bridge
Chapter 197 Severing the Road Ahead, For Now
Carrying Jin Buyi, who was trapped in endless internal strife, Ye Chuxiao went directly into the secret chamber.
In a corner of the secret chamber was a pre-arranged formation.
Once activated, the souls of those who died within would remain relatively intact for a period of time.
And after killing Jin Buyi, Ye Chuxiao would use his innate divine power to control his soul.
At this time, Ying Shu, who wanted to interfere, had already been stopped by He Gang, whom Ye Chuxiao had arranged in advance, and was blocked outside the secret chamber.
He directly stabbed Jin Buyi in the heart with a knife.
Jin Buyi's life began to ebb away rapidly.
Throughout the entire process, Jin Buyi offered no resistance.
After the negative effects of the Heart Pill fully erupted, he had already turned into a living dead man.
The Heart Pill's loss of control and rampage would make the 'cauldron' irritable, angry, and filled with murderous intent.
But when all the spirit of a person acting as a cauldron was gone, even the Heart Pill's loss of control could not have much impact on their actual state.
A person who has lost all desire to live has no emotions such as anger or fear.
Fresh blood flowed, dripping all over the Soul Gathering Formation.
When Jin Buyi's last bit of vitality was exhausted, his confused soul floated semi-ethereally above the formation. Controlled by Ye Chuxiao, it naturally drifted towards Ye Chuxiao and was taken into his sleeve.
At the same time, the reverse flow from the Heart Pill was also occurring.
After Jin Buyi's 'filtration', almost 99% of the negative emotions and effects in the Heart Pill had been smoothed out and eliminated.
The remaining bit was not a major concern.
And this sweet fruit that should have belonged to Ying Shu was intercepted by Ye Chuxiao halfway.
Ying Shu's voice trembled madly on the Heart Pill network.
"Is it ready yet? When can I get my share? Considering that I also put in a lot of effort, can the share be increased a bit?" This was a message sent three minutes ago.
At that time, Jin Buyi had not completely died, and the Heart Pill had not yet begun to flow back.
"I feel it! A huge! Torrential impact!"
"Give it to me quickly, give me my share immediately." This was Ying Shu's telepathic message the moment the Heart Pill flowed back after Jin Buyi's death.
Of course, at the same time, she also used some means, attempting to use the original owner's privilege to forcibly grab all the Heart Pill shares.
However, the mental barrier set up by Ye Chuxiao was too thick.
With full power and the blessing of the Yuanyang Treasure Mirror, Ying Shu failed to snatch it from him.
As 'cauldrons', Ye Chuxiao and Jin Buyi were both Ying Shu's special 'firewalls'.
This was originally a disadvantage for the two of them.
However, precisely because of this, according to the normal backflow, Ye Chuxiao, as the second 'firewall', was in front of Ying Shu.
In other words, if Ying Shu could not actively intervene, then Ye Chuxiao would inevitably come into contact with the Heart Pill flowing back from Jin Buyi earlier than Ying Shu.
And when this part of the Heart Pill fell on Ye Chuxiao's body.
Don't even think that any part of it would still flow to Ying Shu.
From the very beginning, Ye Chuxiao never thought of giving Ying Shu even a shred.
The so-called share that was disputed and settled during the previous negotiations was just a trap to paralyze Ying Shu.
Including those so-called negotiation terms, also had some similar effect.
Of course, the purpose of the negotiations at that time was definitely not just for the purpose at hand.
Otherwise, Ye Chuxiao, who had long since eaten Jin Buyi, would not have needed to deliberately release Ying Shu.
At this moment, Ye Chuxiao was deliberately messing with Ying Shu's mentality.
After conquering Jin Buyi, the next step was to fully focus on Ying Shu.
Of course, perhaps relying solely on Jin Buyi's feedback would be enough for Ye Chuxiao to tear through the barrier and break into the Wuding realm.
That was still unknown.
"You promised to give me 30%, do you want to go back on your word?" Ying Shu's telepathic message was gradually becoming a little agitated.
She was obviously angered.
Jin Buyi was the one she chose, the Heart Pill was the one she planted, and she had spent a lot of effort and invested heavily in the game and entanglement with Jin Buyi.
Now that it was time to divide the cake, there was no share for her?
What kind of capitalist was this?
Was there no sense of reason?
"Ye Chuxiao! Are you a man? Don't make me look down on you!"
"Ye Chuxiao! You dog man! Speak up! Answer me!" Ying Shu began to scold, like a shrew.
This was the first time Ying Shu had truly broken her composure.
In the past, no matter how much her inner self fluctuated, she always maintained a posture.
That posture was not necessarily arrogant, but it must be putting herself in a relatively stable premise.
Instead of being like now, like sitting on a powder keg, a little spark could explode and take off in a spiral.
"Ye Chuxiao, I know my attitude just now was a little bad, but you have to understand, this is very important to both of us." Scolding didn't work, Ying Shu began to try to please Ye Chuxiao again. She spoke softly, her voice charming with a bit of cuteness, and she wanted to use some gender advantages.
Even if this trick had been repeatedly frustrated with Ye Chuxiao, she still had to choose to try again.
However, the voice she sent out was still like a stone sinking into the sea.
Ye Chuxiao was like a silent abyss.
No matter how many words Ying Shu shouted at him, they would only be ruthlessly swallowed.
There was not the slightest echo.
"Ah! Ye Chuxiao... you ungrateful villain, wait to die! I will let you know the consequences of provoking me."
"I will extinguish all your conceit, and make you spit out everything you ate."
"This round, you haven't won yet." After Ying Shu finished her harsh words, she already planned to escape.
She was very worried that after Ye Chuxiao digested all of Jin Buyi's Heart Pill feedback, his power would greatly increase, and then he would do it once and for all, ignoring the backlash of the Heart Pill, and choose to kill her here as well.
This was not impossible.
At least... Ying Shu herself had imagined it that way.
She originally planned to find a time and place that was more beneficial to herself, extinguish Jin Buyi's last resistance, and then swallow all the Heart Pill feedback in one fell swoop, and then take the opportunity to get rid of Ye Chuxiao.
It was very similar to what Ye Chuxiao was doing now...
She couldn't help but worry.
Often what people think themselves, they also worry that others will use the same means to deal with themselves.
And at this moment, Ye Chuxiao actually had no mood or emotion to care about what Ying Shu was clamoring about.
He had completely 'sunk' into it.
In a very unique mental perspective, he seemed to have transformed into Jin Buyi.
He could feel every emotional fluctuation, every thought, every effort and struggle, every breath and heartbeat in Jin Buyi's past.
But he was also detached.
He did not really become Jin Buyi, he knew who he was.
This feeling was very different from digesting and absorbing other people's cultivation experience through Dao rhythms.
Dao rhythm absorption was more like turning people into unique experience books, and Ye Chuxiao was just quickly 'reading'.
There was actually a deviation in the specific understanding between the reader and the creator.
Even if there was inheritance in the transmission of certain information, there was still natural consumption and derivation.
And at this moment, everything in Jin Buyi's perception, feeling, thought, and consideration was fully understood and received by Ye Chuxiao.
It didn't even transform.
But formed a unique parallel with Ye Chuxiao's own existing cultivation concepts.
In this parallel, Ye Chuxiao felt as if he had touched a void door.
It was so ethereal, yet so real.
It did not exist in reality, but existed in the mind, it was the thinking of the existence of living beings themselves, a lock on themselves.
When thinking stubbornly and completely independently, it would lock even tighter.
As long as this door was pushed open, a deeper layer of scenery would be displayed before his eyes.
At this time, the Yunmeng Cauldron, which was placed in Ye Chuxiao's Bashe Bag, actually moved naturally.
The artifact spirit who called himself 'Xiao Baoer' began to show a strange expression.
He was splitting.
At the same time, the multiple seals that Ye Chuxiao had added to the Yunmeng Cauldron, aimed at Xiao Baoer, were all 'melting'.
They were not dismantled, but integrated into the Yunmeng Cauldron and became a part of it.
Since it was already a part of the cauldron, it naturally could no longer restrict it.
At the same time, the part that Xiao Baoer originally absorbed belonging to Ye Chuxiao, one and a half of the Heart Pill, was torn off from his soul body, and then along a mysterious trajectory, left the Yunmeng Cauldron and jumped directly into Ye Chuxiao's mind, quietly merging into it.
"Wuding Realm!" (Formless Realm)
"I am about to break through to the Wuding Realm!"
"The mysterious veil of the Wuding Realm is about to unfold before my eyes." Ye Chuxiao sincerely radiated joy from the bottom of his heart.
In this joy, he did not realize at all that some information that he should not have obtained at this moment was slowly unfolding before his eyes.
"So, this is the Wuding Realm?"
"What is said in the records is indeed correct, it is a choice!"
"The Yujing (Ignorant Realm) is the boundless solid foundation of the body, the Kujing (Bitter Realm) is the endless tempering of skills, the Nengjing (Capable Realm) is the control of infinite energy, the Miaojing (Subtle Realm) is the rotation of infinite life and death, the Huajing (Transformative Realm) is the balance of all things, the Huijing (Wise Realm) is the condensation of wisdom, and the Yijing (Intent Realm) is the ultimate stretching of the self."
"From the Yujing to the Yijing, these seven realms have no end in themselves, it is the sentient beings who are blinded, that they think that the ascent of the realm is endlessly upward."
Ye Chuxiao's thoughts continued to extend downward following the unfolding of the information.
But at the same time, that door that had seemed to be opening to Ye Chuxiao in a trance was becoming more and more blurred, gradually fading and virtualizing.
Integrating into Ye Chuxiao's body, and running parallel with his mind, that accumulation belonging to Jin Buyi was also actively participating, melting, and intertwining into Ye Chuxiao's own abilities and system.
Ye Chuxiao's accumulation became thicker, his cultivation became more powerful, and his strength in all aspects made significant progress and growth.
But these were all 'appearances', superficial.
It was not much different from those cultivation experiences that Ye Chuxiao had integrated before.
"The first choice of the Wuding Realm is to choose a realm and walk it again."
"Non-overlapping, non-accumulating, and even unrelated, walk it again."
"And after this choice, the style and attributes of entering the Wuding Realm will only begin here."
"It is the essence of a life, a transformation and change from the inside out. We choose which path, then we welcome which kind of future."
"All choices are not wrong, but when cultivating to the Wuding Realm, they are all parting ways."
"There is no longer a very fixed and complete experience of the predecessors, which can be given to later generations to follow."
"At most, it is to form coordinates as a reference."
"Choosing the Yujing will have unparalleled physical abilities, becoming an existence that can punch and explode meteorites. Choosing the Kujing is the unparalleled person in skills and techniques, possessing numerous trump cards and means. Choosing the Nengjing can control multiple attributes of energy, and is the well-deserved turret existence in the Wuding Realm. Choosing the Miaojing gains the ability to enter and exit life and death and understand the underworld, mysterious and unpredictable. Choosing the Huajing can know the infinite secrets of the world, and can obtain precise balance between all things. Choosing the Huijing, gains the blessing of immeasurable wisdom, and will no longer be solidified by confusion. Choosing the Yijing amplifies the self, interferes with the larger reality with 'me', and even reverses the rules of the world."
"The choice of the Wuding Realm cannot be overlapped, cannot be multi-selected, cannot be turned back, once you choose a path, you must persevere and walk down, this is the real beginning of division."
"Because, the essence of life, from this choice, becomes different."
"If you have to use a more precise analogy, that is, from a person, it becomes an immortal, becomes a god, becomes a demon, becomes a devil, becomes various transcendent beings defined and divided into different natures."
"Like Tang Su Tong, who can sacrifice his life to the Dao, must have chosen the direction of the Yijing. Wuding cultivators in other directions, even if they want to sacrifice their lives to the Dao, they will never be able to do it, because what they are good at is not the same."
In his mind, Ye Chuxiao had an infinite sense of pleasure in finally knowing the secret.
The secret of the Wuding Realm was unfolded in his eyes without any obstruction.
But at the same time, he also quickly fell from that mysterious and mysterious realm, thus returning to reality.
In reality, his true qi, will, domain, and physical fitness all had a qualitative leap.
However, these improvements were all improvements on the original basis, rather than a combination of dual-track parallelism, unintentional.
Ye Chuxiao finally woke up completely from the torrent of information.
Then anger and regret filled his entire chest.
He knew the secret of the Wuding Realm.
Then... he seemed to be unable to touch the Wuding Realm anymore.
Because no matter what choice he wanted to make again, he could not abandon the existing framework and foundation in his mind, and completely start from scratch.
This was a mental shackle.
Knowing it, he couldn't do it!
Even if Ye Chuxiao chose to shield some of his memories, when the memory was restored during the breakthrough, it would still be quickly knocked down like this time.
It was just doing basic accumulation.
Like a building, it was just constantly strengthening the lower layer.
And the higher layer could never be stacked.
"Xiao Chi!" Ye Chuxiao's voice was squeezed out of his throat.
There was no showing off, no big movement or action.
Xiao Chi just arranged a pre-reserved backhand, separated by time and space, and put Ye Chuxiao in such an awkward predicament.
"Fortunately... there is Ying Shu!"
"She may be my hope for a comeback!" Ye Chuxiao gritted his back teeth. Although he was depressed and annoyed, he still stubbornly suppressed it and began to think about a way out.
The unique connection between him and Ying Shu was set early on.
If he could guard against the connection of the Heart Pill and prevent Ying Shu from obtaining information related to the Wuding, there might still be a possibility of breaking through by borrowing her power.
