Chapter 130 Mental Block

Bright Moon Ancient City.

Zhang Yuanru was feeling very melancholy.

He left the ancient city, looking at the sun that had yet to rise, and felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.

The pressure Lu Changsheng gave him was simply too great.

Originally, Zhang Yuanru thought that even if Lu Changsheng was strong, he wouldn't be *that* strong.

But what he didn't expect was that Lu Changsheng was too terrifying, driving him to despair. What Lu Changsheng had done today had formed an insurmountable mountain in his heart.

It wasn't even a question of crossing it; Zhang Yuanru even felt he didn't have the courage to climb the mountain at all.

It was like taking an exam. If you scored ninety-nine points and someone else scored one hundred, you might think there was only a one-point difference.

But when you realized that the other person scored one hundred because the test was only worth one hundred points, and you scored ninety-nine because that was the best you could do, you would fall into deep despair.

"Ah!"

Zhang Yuanru sighed.

Unknowingly, he had arrived at the top of a mountain.

Soon, however, Zhang Yuanru was astonished.

Because he discovered that there were many people on the mountain, densely packed as far as the eye could see.

They were all geniuses who had participated in the grand gathering.

"Why is everyone here?"

Zhang Yuanru couldn't help but be stunned.

Especially since he saw Wang Xuanji, Li Rulong, the Holy Son of the Shu Sect, the Purple-Green Holy Son, the Taiyi Holy Son, the Yin-Yang Holy Son, and others.

"Brother Zhang is here too?"

The Yin-Yang Holy Son spoke, offering a greeting.

"Greetings, everyone!"

Perhaps because he had been hit so hard, Zhang Yuanru felt very uncomfortable. His previous arrogance and conceit had completely disappeared.

It was like being from a village and being the son of the richest man in the village. You would always feel like you were amazing, so you would naturally develop arrogance and contempt.

After all, you would always be talking about your assets worth tens of thousands. But one day, you met someone who spent hundreds of thousands or even millions on a single meal. Your confidence, your pride, would instantly become a joke.

People shouldn't compare themselves; once they did, it would create obsessions and inner demons.

Therefore, Zhang Yuanru no longer had his former confidence. Instead, there was an unconcealable loss in his eyes.

"What are you all doing here?"

Zhang Yuanru was a little curious, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Alas! We have all developed some knots in our hearts, so we have all come here by unspoken agreement to find some peace and quiet."

Wang Xuanji said.

And the others nodded in agreement.

"So everyone has some knots in their hearts."

Zhang Yuanru was a little surprised, not expecting everyone to be like him.

"Senior Brother Changsheng is so extraordinary that we can only sigh in admiration. How can that not make people feel bad? I originally thought that I, Li Rulong, could be considered a genius in the Eastern Lands. Looking at the world, even if I'm not number one, I should at least be in the top ten, right?"

"But compared to Senior Brother Changsheng, I instantly couldn't help but feel like I was a piece of trash."

Li Rulong said with some emotion, unable to help saying this.

"Senior Brother Li, if you say that, wouldn't we be worse than trash?"

"Yes, yes, Senior Brother Li, what you said is too hurtful."

"I feel like I don't even count as filler in this world."

"A sage once said that everything has its value. I have been pondering what the value of trash is. Now I understand. The only value of trash is to set off the genius!"

Someone said despairingly, even saying such words.

"Ah!"

At that moment, countless young cultivators couldn't help but sigh.

Perhaps this was life.

For a time, thousands of cultivators stood on the mountain peak, looking at the rising sun, their expressions extremely heavy.

No one spoke, because there was nothing to say.

Soon, more and more cultivators gathered here.

They were all top geniuses from various places.

On this day, there were simply too many geniuses who had been struck by Lu Changsheng.

Soon, the news that countless geniuses had gathered on the desolate mountain spread at once.

This led to more and more cultivators going over. Although many cultivators didn't know what had happened, they still went to see the excitement.

However, after two hours,

Suddenly, a voice slowly rang out.

"No! Everyone! No!"

The voice rang out, attracting everyone's curiosity.

The person speaking was also a genius, well-known and famous.

"What's wrong?"

"What's your opinion?"

"What do you mean?"

Everyone was curious, not knowing what he wanted to say.

"Everyone, we're wrong, completely wrong!" the man shouted loudly, then continued, "Everyone, we've entered a misunderstanding. Today, Senior Brother Lu used the sacred words of heaven and earth to make a great vow, and he received the blessing of the Xuanhuang Dragon." (Mysterious Yellow Dragon)

"That's why we feel despair and think that there is an insurmountable mountain on the path of cultivation."

"But have you ever thought that we were wrong from the beginning?"

"Senior Brother Lu is indeed powerful and extraordinary, but the question is, why should we compare ourselves to Senior Brother Lu?"

"What kind of person is Senior Brother Lu? I got definite information, said by a supreme elder who didn't want to reveal his name, that Senior Brother Lu is the reincarnation of a peerless existence from the Immortal World."

"In other words, what kind of person is Senior Brother Lu? He is an immortal! Can we compare ourselves to someone who is becoming an immortal?"

"So, why should we compare ourselves to Senior Brother Lu? For example, in the mortal world, some martial arts practitioners want to enter the Dao through martial arts. They practice martial arts and insist on comparing themselves to Senior Brother Wang. Does that make sense?"

"Even if Senior Brother Wang were to abandon his cultivation and practice martial arts, he would still progress rapidly, far surpassing others."

"But can that be said that those martial arts cultivators are weak? No, because Senior Brother Wang is a cultivator of the Immortal Dao, completely not on the same level."

"Although Senior Brother Lu is indeed extremely extraordinary, he belongs to the Immortal World, and we belong to the Cultivation World. There is a difference of hundreds of thousands of miles between the two. So it is inevitable that we are not as good as Senior Brother Lu. On the contrary, if anyone can surpass Senior Brother Lu, that would be impossible."

"Moreover, whoever can surpass Senior Brother Lu must also be someone from the Immortal World. So, everyone, think about it carefully. We have subconsciously regarded Senior Brother Lu as the mountain in our hearts, but have you ever thought that if we don't regard Senior Brother Lu as that mountain, wouldn't it be much smoother to think about it that way?"

The man said loudly, every word sonorous and forceful.

For a time, countless geniuses were stunned.

Yes!

Lu Changsheng was not a person from the Cultivation World; he was a person from the Immortal World!

I am a cultivator from the Cultivation World, comparing myself to a cultivator from the Immortal World?

Am I sick?

Did I eat poison?

Hiss!

Hiss!

Hiss!

In an instant, countless geniuses couldn't help but gasp.

Although it always felt like there was a problem, it sounded so reasonable.

"Hiss! A sudden realization, a sudden realization! I understand! I understand! We are ultimately treating Senior Brother Lu as one of our own, but Senior Brother Lu is a cultivator from the Immortal World. It is natural that we can't compare to him."

"Yes, yes, I understand too. I understand. Hahahaha, I've figured it out, figured it out!"

"I've also figured it out. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"

In an instant, many geniuses laughed endlessly, the loss in their eyes completely disappearing, replaced by excitement.

Excitement from the bottom of their hearts.

"It's just deceiving yourself!"

Zhang Yuanru said in his heart.

However, soon, the few people around him also suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha, I've figured it out, I understand. Yes, yes, that's the logic. Ah, I feel much better."

The first to laugh loudly was Li Rulong. After thinking about it, his face was full of excitement.

"Yes, yes, that's so right. That's the logic, that's the logic."

Wang Xuanji also laughed loudly.

"Thinking about it that way, it seems to be true. Why are we so bored comparing ourselves to Senior Brother Lu? Are we just looking for trouble?"

The Holy Son of the Shu Sect also had a feeling of sudden realization.

"I've realized it! I've really realized it this time!"

Hiss!

Seeing that everyone had actually realized it,

Zhang Yuanru was stunned.

"Brother Zhang, have you realized it?"

Someone asked, inquiring whether Zhang Yuanru had realized it or not.

Looking at the excited crowd, Zhang Yuanru took a deep breath, then said with a serious face.

"I've realized it! Hahahaha, realized it, hahahaha, I'm so happy, hahahaha, cough cough cough!"

Zhang Yuanru laughed loudly, forcing himself.

Although he hadn't realized anything at all, he was very clear that at this time, he could only say that he had realized it.

What else could he do?

However, whether he had truly realized it or falsely realized it, at least the knot in his heart had eased a lot.

However, at noon on the same day,

The Tianyuan Holy Land changed.
