Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

Su Xing asked the question that had puzzled him for a long time and waited quietly in place for the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master to provide an answer.

However, under Su Xing's hopeful anticipation, the shadow of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master shook his head and said:

"I'm sorry... I cannot give you this answer!"

"Qing Yunzi was once at the peak of the Great Luo... but in his vain attempt to become a Saint by Slashing the Three Corpses, he failed to see that the path to sainthood was already cut off... Furthermore, his own Dao Heart developed issues, even I can't help him recover..."

"After all, now he is already at the Semi-Saint realm..."

"So... you should choose another question!"

Upon hearing the words of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master, Su Xing's expression changed slightly.

"How could it be... even the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master cannot solve this problem... is Qing Yunzi really beyond saving?"

Su Xing's face was somewhat ashen.

Although in the simulation Qing Yunzi had killed him many times, that was after he succumbed to his inner demon, but in the strictest sense, Qing Yunzi can be considered a righteous cultivator.

If Qing Yunzi's support was available, Su Xing would definitely be able to simulate for a bit longer...

"There's really no way?"

"No, wait!"

Su Xing suddenly came to a realization.

The current timeline is the ninth hundred year of the simulation.

Which means nine hundred years later... at this time, Qing Yunzi indeed failed in Slaying the Three Corpses, was devoured by the Evil Corpse... and completely fell into madness.

But... what about nine hundred years earlier?

Su Xing remembered that Qing Yunzi was completely devoured by the Evil Corpse around the five-hundredth year of the simulation!

And in the subsequent simulations, Su Xing was entirely capable of thinking of a solution before Qing Yunzi was completely devoured!

With this thought in mind, Su Xing looked at the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master before him and asked:

"Senior... is there a way to prevent Qing Yunzi from going mad before he is completely lost?"

Upon hearing Su Xing's question, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master pondered for a moment and then asked:

"Are you sure this is the answer you seek?"

"For something that has already happened... even if you know, you cannot change anything..."

Su Xing nodded firmly and said: "I am sure I want to know!"

Seeing this, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master didn't inquire further, remaining silent for a long time, seemingly in deep thought.

After a moment, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master replied:

"The path to sainthood that Qing Yunzi walked... was Slaying the Three Corpses to Become a Saint, which in ancient times, was the most common method to become a saint!"

"The advantage is that the path to sainthood is relatively steady... even if one ultimately fails to become a saint, they can still achieve the realm of Semi-Saint, far surpassing the Golden Immortal!"

"But the drawback is that the required time... is just too lengthy!"

"Slaying the Three Corpses to Become a Saint typically takes millions of years to sever a single corpse... if caught in a bottleneck, it might not advance an inch for hundreds of eons..."

After pausing for a moment, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master continued:

"Thus, Qing Yunzi chose... to reverse the Three Corpses!"

"Though more risky... as long as one's Dao Heart is firm, countless time can be saved!"

"In merely millions of years, Qing Yunzi severed two corpses..."

"However, the Divine Skill he cultivated, Three Purities from One Qi... had flaws... which sowed the seeds in the past."

"By the time he was Slaying the Three Corpses, it surfaced, but when Qing Yunzi discovered it, it was too late, and ultimately he could only be trapped by the Heart Demon... losing himself!"

Listening to the words of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master, Su Xing nodded slightly.

What the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master said was mostly in line with what he had known before, just more detailed, and Su Xing understood the cause and effect.

But the problem is, how can Qing Yunzi be saved before he completely succumbs to madness?

The Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master quickly answered:

"If before Qing Yunzi completely succumbs to madness... and you want to help him break free from the Heart Demon's entrapment, there are three methods..."

"The first is to Disperse Power and Cultivate Again... one only needs to disperse the Three Purities from One Qi cultivation technique, letting the Evil Corpse dissipate by itself... but since Qing Yunzi has practiced the Three Purities from One Qi technique for ages, for millions of years, it has long been inseparable."

"If forcibly dispersing it, Qing Yunzi's entire cultivation level would likely be forfeited... ultimately possibly needing to start again from the Qi Refinement stage."

"Even if Qing Yunzi is at the Great Luo, to disperse power and cultivate again to the peak of Great Luo, it might take millions of eons..."

Upon hearing the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master's first answer, Su Xing nodded slightly.

Disperse Power and Cultivate Again does indeed seem unrealistic.

Not to mention Qing Yunzi would surely be unwilling for his Taoism law to scatter... even if he was willing to restart, millions of years, the Foreign Race would probably have destroyed the world by then.

Therefore, this method won't work.

"Then what are the other two methods you mentioned, Senior?" Su Xing asked.

The Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master replied:

"The second method... Three Purities from One Qi is an ancient era secret Divine Skill, along with it, there is also a Divine Soul cultivation method, the Wishful Visualization Technique Diagram."

"Cultivating both of these techniques together can strengthen the Divine Soul, preventing unexpected issues in Slaying the Three Corpses..."

"Although Qing Yunzi has now reached the end of Three Purities from One Qi... if one can find and cultivate the Diagram of Wishful Visualization, it can also delay the explosion of the Heart Demon."

Upon hearing this, Su Xing nodded slightly, this method was exactly what Su Xing used previously to help Qing Yunzi delay the Heart Demon's explosion!

But, this obviously couldn't solve the problem at its root!

Thus, Su Xing asked:

"Then, Senior, what is the third method you mentioned?"

The Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master said:

"As for the third method... it's a kind of elixir recorded in ancient times, named Sun Forging Soul Pill!"

"This pill can allow the cultivator to experience the tribulation of the Heart Demon once again... in the Heart Demon, realize oneself, ultimately overcoming the Heart Demon!"

"If this pill can be found and given to Qing Yunzi from hundreds of years ago, it might help Qing Yunzi undergo the tribulation of the Heart Demon anew, completely sever the Evil Corpse... thus finding a slim chance of survival."

Upon hearing the third method, Su Xing's eyes lit up.

If one can undergo the tribulation of the Heart Demon and completely sever the Heart Demon!

Then it would be much more manageable indeed!

Thus, Su Xing said:

"Senior... if experiencing the tribulation of the Heart Demon is enough to sever the Evil Corpse, there are surely many methods... why must it be this Sun Forging Soul Pill?"
