Chapter 700: 564~565: Heavenly Human 3rd Realm, so what about the sky? I must contend for it! (Guaranteed request for monthly ticket)_2
He could only manage the other mountain village forces in Yunzhou, Yang Province, and the Overseas Wuxiang Sect while waiting to return and resolve the restrictions from the Song State Government on Black Wind Village through Yue Fei. Only then could a new development be achieved.
Jiang Dali pondered thoughtfully, his thoughts very clear.
The development of Black Wind Village had indeed reached a bottleneck.
Changes had to be made quickly; otherwise, they would slowly decline and be taken over by the ambitious forces of the Martial World in the North and Unrivaled City, among others.
To break through the bottleneck, one had only to dominate, to start a war, to snatch other forces' cake and territory, which would inevitably lead to making more enemies.
But there was no alternative.
Once he embarked on the path of hegemony, there would be no turning back, unless he chose to be content with the status quo.
But being content with the status quo was tantamount to sitting and waiting for death, waiting for other ambitious people to devour him.
Jiang Dali would never allow such a thing to happen.
"You've been spacing out for nearly a quarter of an hour, what are you thinking?"
At that moment, Wang Yuyan emerged from the bedding and waved her hand in front of Jiang Dali, asking.
She had been observing him the whole time and, seeing that he had fallen into another of his frequent dazes, began to idly count the time to pass the boredom.
Sometimes, she was very curious, not understanding why someone like the village chief would often space out—that seemed to be a habit only those with nothing to do should have.
Yet, after watching for a long time, she increasingly liked the quietness of the village chief when he spaced out.
It was only then that she seemed to see another side of the quiet village chief, seemingly closer to the burning heart of this man of iron and stone, catching glimpses of some vague hidden secrets.
Jiang Dali was startled by Wang Yuyan's words and glanced at her wrapped in the bedding, saying, "I'm preparing to try to break through soon, so be careful not to be shaken off from the sky later."
"Ah? Break... breaking through? So soon? You're going to break into the Heavenly Human 3rd Realm, but haven't you said that after the Heavenly Human 3rd Realm, you would face the Three Tribulations of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and now it's spring, with rolling thunder, it's the least suitable time to break through."
Wang Yuyan exclaimed.
"I have been preparing for this day for a long time."
Jiang Dali's eyes were cold yet composed as he looked towards the heavenly vault.
The blue sky was cloudless, bathed in brilliant sunlight.
He said, "The Heavenly Human Realm emphasizes conformation to Heavenly Destiny, and also to the natural laws of heaven and earth, to naturally breakthrough with the help of the Heaven and Earth Power and reach a higher realm. Ultimately, attain the Unity of Heaven and Man and naturally be invincible.
But I was born not to be so compliant.
The path I have taken, the Great Strength, has always been about breaking the situation with my own power, no road, then split one open.
So I am very doubtful, if I follow the Heavenly Human Realm to the end, what kind of path it will be! And whether that is my path!"
Wang Yuyan was taken aback, stammering, "You... Are you going to defy the heavens?"
"No!"
Jiang Dali laughed heartily, a rare slyness flashing in his eyes, "I've never fully understood what the Heavenly Human Realm means, I wouldn't be reckless enough to defy the heavens.
Even if this might eventually be my path, I never walk a path without certainty... and right now, I truly don't have that certainty."
Jiang Dali's expression grew solemn as he shook his head, "Because as far as I know, it seems that no one has ever tried this path. It might be a dead end."
Wang Yuyan was shaken, her eyes widening in disbelief as she stared at Jiang Dali as if seeing this man before her anew.
Always choosing the unconventional, always calm mixed with madness and unruliness, never willing to be constrained, even by heaven!?
"Ordinary people fear the Heavenly Person Three Tribulations, shunning them, but what do I, Jiang Dali, have to fear?! Why cower in fear! Why avoid it!? Now, I'll take this first step!"
Jiang Dali laughed heartily and, without hesitation, spent one hundred and eleven thousand one hundred Cultivation Points to advance to Heavenly Human 3rd Realm.
What joy is there in life, what fear in death?
Yet, for him, Jiang Dali, in this Mixed Martial Arts World, it was exceedingly difficult to die.
If so, why not boldly try, what is there to fear or avoid?
Why does the Heavenly Human Realm have Three Tribulations?
Why must one follow the heavens to overcome the Three Tribulations?
Could it be that by not following the heavens, one truly cannot surpass the Three Tribulations?
Could it be that not following... would inevitably lead to obliteration?
He was not of this world after all, would he still inevitably end up eradicated?
Would he ultimately walk the path of rebellion?
It seemed, he had always been on that path.
Always struggling to break free, not merely for survival.
If it were just for survival, he could now easily be a content Great Village Chief, taking a hundred wives and having numerous children.
Even if he ultimately died by the sword of time or fell in the bloody storms of the Martial World, wouldn't that also be a life?
But he would not!
Not just for survival, but to completely tear open the truth of rebirth, to fully unveil the truth of this world.
Break free, break out.
IsUnicode Characters...
Is truth really that important?
To someone like Jiang Dali, who does not tolerate even the slightest confusion in his heart, it truly is important.
Because the perpetual lack of understanding made him always feel controlled.
Whether by fate or something else.
He was always trying to break free, to breakthrough, until he completely parsed everything, never willing to follow the flow.
In an instant, the figures on the panel changed.
"Realm: Heavenly Human Realm (33333/100000) (Yin God III: Index [300], approximately able to fully mobilize ten times the power of a Heavenly Person three times, each time increasing strength by sixty percent)."
Almost simultaneously.
A massive amount of Cultivation Points converted into a mysterious force, infused into the mud ball between Jiang Dali's eyebrows, merging into his Yin God.
