Thump …

Thump …

Thump …

Xia Ji could clearly feel the throbbing of every nerve in his head and the transmission of every message. At the stime, his goal was clearly reflected in his mind.

Ding!

[Blacktide Mission 1-Investigate the Sect’s Abnormality] has been completed.

You can bring Miao Miao out to play for three months and have three meal tickets for Miao Miao.

Ding!

[Blacktide Mission 2-Waiting for Arrival] activated.

[Mission summary: You have made a great wish for the undead to rest in peace, so you chose to place your non the True Book.] At the stime, a secret connection between you and the higher-ups of the Blacktide has been established.

When this existence descends, will your consciousness be assimilated by him, or will you still be able to fulfill your wish as an independent individual? There is no tlimit. It can happen at any time. Please remain vigilant at all times.

[Mission Reward: It’s hard to reward yourself…]

[Mission penalty: This series of missions is closed.]

It had been more than a month since Xia Ji returned to the Church of Death.

He had also figured it out. As long as there were no resentful masters or transmigrators interfering, the battle between cultivators and vengeful spirits was still within the scope of the normal tribulation. It was just that this tribulation had intensified.

Cultivators could independently kill cultivators who had fused with vengeful spirits, and cultivation was to advance in layers of difficulties, which meant that there was a slim chance of survival.

He would maintain a reasonable, relatively fair, and hopeful environment, but if the difficulty of the environment increased, he would not ask too much.

A resentful master with self-awareness and a transmigrator with an invasion mission. These two were no longer fair and there was no hope. If they appeared, he would stop them.

It could be considered as protecting the human world.

In fact, it was not the human world yet. At the moment, it was only Yanzhou.

Just as Xia Ji was thinking about this, a whimper cfrom the small charcoal stove in the corner of the courtyard. The kettle was already steaming. He got up to get sfreshly boiled water and poured it into the cup that had been sprinkled with green tea. Then, he sat in the pavilion where snow had fallen and covered the cup with both hands.

” Be it the Ancient Lord or the Desolate Lord, if they want to assimilate me, they will have to use a mixture of mental power and karma to attack me. In other words, I need to strengthen my cultivation of these two powers from now on in order to fight against the unknown existence in the Blacktide in the future. ”

He took a sip of tea and muttered to himself, ” If there is no power, then wishes are a joke. Although mental strength will play a big role in this process, it still needs to becactual power.

The so-called realm is only a measure of the cultivation level of ordinary cultivators. However, in this mysterious world where no one has stepped foot, I no longer have any reference.

“I really wish that I could cultivate scultivation technique so that I can advance by leaps and bounds and solve all my problems. However, this is a real world. There has never been such a cultivation technique.

The future is boundless…”

He sighed. ” Loneliness…”

“Karma, I can accumulate it by enlightening living beings and bearing the karma of living beings. What about mental power? How could one step into such a dark area?

In the past, I had cultivated many techniques, such as the Three Lifetimes Dhyana. However, looking at it now, it didn’t live up to its name. It was limited to the ten realms and couldn’t improve at all. Clearly, it wasn’t a true inheritance of a mighty figure. There were still many doubts here, so I wouldn’t think about it for now.

Then …

In the end, mental power was actually a kind of attitude towards life. It was a power that was accumulated over time.

A country’s ruler might be as timid as a mouse, but a dog butcher could draw his sword and die. When faced with difficulties and obstacles, swould choose to retreat, swould choose to continue advancing, swould retreat halfway, swould retreat when they saw others retreat, swould advance forward but die, swould reach the end and think that they had won, and swould return to the starting point after reaching the end and relaxing.

Psychic energy isn’t actual power, but rather, power that is born from heartforce as a seed.”

Xia Ji suddenly remembered a line from the Tao Te Ching in his previous life and muttered, ”

“The highest good is like water. It can irrigate all things without fighting. It is in the place that everyone hates, so it is almost in the way.”

He closed his eyes and made a decision.

At this moment, a figure crept out from the shadows and stood behind Xia Ji. Then, she suddenly stretched out her hands.

Xia Ji felt as if his eyes were blocked by ten little fingers, and it was icy cold.

Immediately after, a bird chirped behind him. ” Uncle always goes out alone and never brings others along. ”

Xia Ji didn’t know why Miaomiao had changed the way she addressed him, but she just called him whatever she wanted.

Xia Ji grabbed her hands and said, ” If I were to hide my identity and walk the human world, my days wouldn’t be so comfortable. Are you willing to cwith me? ”

Miao Miao continued to use her bird voice and said, “”I’ll go wherever you go. I used to live like this. I can even take you to see my secret garden.”

Xia Ji’s heart warmed. He grabbed the pair of cold hands that were covering his eyes and pulled Miao Miao into his arms. However, the moment Miao Miao sat down, she jumped up with a red face and ran away.

Xia Ji didn’t give chase. Instead, he looked into the distance and pondered.

This time, he only brought Miao Miao. He did not bring anyone else, not even Nian Ying.

That was because he did not know if he would be assimilated by an existence at the level of the Ancient Lord or the Desolate Lord…

If he were to assimilate with her, his temperament would probably change drastically. Miao Miao was his karma, and she was destined to be with him. Even if he changed, he would still be bound by the karma. However, others would not have to suffer the terrible ending after his temperament changed drastically.

That was because he could not guarantee that if Nian Ying and Little Su were by his side at that time, he would not have killed them.

If the one who descended was an Ancient Lord, he felt that it should be fine.

But if it was the Desolate Lord, he had no chance of winning.

If it was a master of great calamity with an extremely low chance of success, he would have already lost.

If the one who won the lottery was a virtual master, he would have suffered a crushing defeat.

This was a desperate battle.

However, if he wanted to improve further, how could it be foolproof?

Twaits for no one. How could it wait for you to continue hiding?

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a turtledove landing in a corner of the ice and snow. It was trembling as if it was about to die…

He smiled and waved his hand, and the almost frozen Turtledove fell into his palm. With a layer of dense Karma fluctuations, the Turtledove began to change.

Its body began to regain its vitality, its feathers began to shine, and its eyes began to glow. Then, it began to turn around, and gradually, a look of confusion appeared on its face, followed by curiosity as it stared at Xia Ji.

Xia Ji pointed at Turtledove’s glabella and sent sinformation into its mind through enlightenment. He then said gently, “”Don’t do evil. Go.”

The turtledove’s eyes seemed to be filled with wisdom, but there was also a mischievous look in them. It was a little reluctant to part with him, but after looking at this new world, it eventually flapped its wings and flew toward the snowy sky. Halfway there, it landed on the black tile wall of the courtyard and bowed in the direction of Xia Ji, looking at him eagerly.

” The world is huge, ” Xia Ji said. ” Let’s go and take a look. ”

Turtledove understood his words and flew away reluctantly.
