575: Chapter 106 Breakthrougher_2 575: Chapter 106 Breakthrougher_2 In the first life, this Sword Heart could not stand the injustices of the world.
Thus, he cultivated the “Rule of Destruction.”
In the second life, this Sword Heart tended towards perfection, becoming more benevolent.
Therefore, there came into existence this thread of “Principle of Life.”
But fundamentally, both threads of Life and Death Tao Rules were held in Xie Xuanyi’s hands.
Even with creation and opportunities, they were enlightenment personally attained by Xie Xuanyi—
He could not possibly accept Lu Yuzhen’s condescending “Karma Giving.”
“Who says that without condensing Tao Rules, one cannot achieve Realm Breakthrough?”
Looking at the black and white Light Ball in his palm, Xie Xuanyi muttered to himself with Divine Thought: “If I can condense the Condensing Destruction Realm in a single thought, then I can also condense the Condensing Life Realm in a single thought.”
Enlightenment, Enlightenment.
Once the great Dao is thoroughly comprehended, breaking through the realm is as easy as drinking water.
For Xie Xuanyi, condensing the realm of destruction was but a small effort.
And the reason why the realm of life was stagnant
Was because he had not fully comprehended this Dao.
But now…
it’s different.
Lu Yuzhen schemed Zheng Fengsheng’s death, allowing him to harvest the last thread of perfect understanding in the “Life Dao.”
This thread of understanding was rejected by Xie Xuanyi.
Today, he will condense his realm in his own way.
He closed his eyes.
His Divine Thought sank deep.
In an instant, Xie Xuanyi arrived at his own Purple Mansion, where he saw old acquaintances hidden in decades of hardships, and paths he once walked.
Life Dao and Path of Destruction intertwined, turning into a black and white entwined sun, suspended at the Heavenly Peak, illuminating the Purple Mansion brilliantly one moment and plunging it into pitch darkness the next.
Xie Xuanyi walked on.
He saw the patients who were saved in Taoyuan these past few days.
These people were saved by the “Life Dao” amidst the famine in Yuan Province, and the suffering of the common folk.
In saving these people, Xie Xuanyi never thought of advancing.
Moving forward.
Xie Xuanyi saw the delegation of monks from Fan Yin Temple.
When the delegation crossed the river, he saved these monks…
just like the people of Yuan Province.
The moment he reached out.
Xie Xuanyi never thought to use this to condense the Tao Realm.
In his eyes, this was not cultivation.
Then…
he saw the suffering of the Li charm in the Great Yue Kingdom who endured the sacrifices, an ordeal that allowed him to condense the Life Dao.
After that.
Mostly memories from the first life.
At Southern Border Yin Mountain, he wielded his sword, entering and exiting seven times, slaying the Yin God Realm junior brother who grew up with White Ghost.
All Evil Cultivators were executed!
Mountains of corpses, rivers of blood!
The border of Chu Country, Northern Border Snow Mountain.
In his last life, Xie Xuanyi wielded his sword to kill demons, exterminate Evil Spirits, slaying countless Demon Spirits, numerous evil demons!
In the last life, Xie Xuanyi only considered these people as nourishment for the “Path of Destruction.”
But at this moment.
Words Deng Baiyi inadvertently spoke a few days ago echoed in his Heart Lake.
“To kill is also to protect life.”
Killing demons and cutting down Evil Spirits lets the commoners of Great Chu live in peace!
Killing them, is it not redemption for those in suffering?
Xie Xuanyi walked alone on the long path of cultivation spanning two lives, the Light Ball symbolizing “Life Dao” becoming increasingly clear.
“I have no heart of compassion, no hand to relieve suffering.”
“In this life, I am bound not to be a kind healer, unable to mend the world.”
True Master Jun Shan said, to comprehend the Life Dao, one needs to be like a Zen Master, extensively gather good karma, save many people—
Xie Xuanyi once thought to give it a try.
But now, he has dismissed the idea.
“These hands of mine…
are probably only good at gripping a long sword.”
He slowly stood still, looking at the reflections in the Purple Mansion.
“There are countless Daos in this world.”
“All Living Beings have myriad ways of living.”
“Who said, Life Dao can only be cultivated in one way?”
“This, is my way of Life Dao.”
Enlighten the mind.
Condense the realm.
Attain Dao.
With each step he took, the dim Life Dao became one portion brighter.
Memories of two lives surged back.
The moment the Dao Heart became clear, the Purple Mansion also became clear, radiance abounded, bright as day!
Xie Xuanyi saw the scene before him clearly.
At the end of the Heart Lake.
Stood a figure pure white as snow and like paper.
It is said that those with an unstable Dao Heart will inevitably see their “Heart Demon” when breaking through the realm.
In his previous life, Xie Xuanyi swept through his enemies.
He never saw any Heart Demon.
His ascension along this path had been incredibly smooth so far.
But in the second life, a disaster struck.
Previously, in the Southern Border, as Xie Xuanyi was advancing to the Cave Heaven Realm, the Heart Demon he saw was “himself”.
The self from his previous life!
He strangled “himself” under the ice of the Heart Lake.
And now…
Advancing to the Yin God Realm, he saw the second incarnation of the “Heart Demon”.
This time, the demon of the breakthrough wasn’t “himself”.
“Lu Yuzhen.”
Xie Xuanyi stared intently at that figure, coldly saying, “It is indeed you.”
“Xie Xuanyi, you are more formidable than I imagined,”
The Lu Yuzhen in the Purple Mansion slowly turned around.
He crossed his hands behind his back, smiling as he said, “To not accept this ‘karma’, so quickly can you Condense Realm…
But is it worth it?
You forsake the great Dao to be clever, is this your Dao?
Do you know how many people have been killed because of this stubbornness?”
“Waste of words.”
Xie Xuanyi knew that this Heart Demon appeared for only one purpose.
To shake the foundation of his Condensing Dao Heart.
He summoned his Flying Sword and went straight for the kill towards Lu Yuzhen!
The Lu Yuzhen before his eyes, after all, was just a Heart Demon, didn’t retreat backward, unlike before when it dispersed like white paper.
Instead of retreating, he fought back, clashing with Xie Xuanyi!
The Flying Sword splattered blood; the white paper pierced bone.
Xie Xuanyi used the Life and Death Dao to constantly annihilate Lu Yuzhen, while the latter kept repairing himself with the “Paperman Sect” techniques.
This fierce battle lasted very long.
Inside the Purple Mansion Divine Sea, there was no time.
The whole heaven and earth were about to be torn apart by the two of them.
In the end.
Xie Xuanyi severed Lu Yuzhen’s head.
He used the “Path of Destruction” to grind the Heart Demon into dust and ashes, and then with the “Life Dao,” he slowly healed his own wounds.
Tens of miles of Divine Sea, under the impact, struggled to calm down for a long time.
“Whooshing…”
Xie Xuanyi, holding Lu Yuzhen’s head, looked coldly at the white paper swirling in the sky.
This battle was tougher than he had imagined.
Compared to the “himself” at Cave Heaven Realm, the “Lu Yuzhen” of the Yin God Realm was clearly stronger.
This Heart Demon had been in the making for too long; it was Xie Xuanyi’s greatest inner demon in his second life!
However,
This battle was also simpler than he had imagined.
Last night, he could have condensed the Principle of Life and been complete, but Xie Xuanyi chose to interrupt deliberately—
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to advance.
But he could not advance.
He vaguely felt that breaking through the Yin God Realm would bring disaster.
There was a very high chance that a Heart Demon would emerge.
With his nature, if he reluctantly accepted this Benefit Fruit, the Heart Demon “Lu Yuzhen” that would appear might have been even more troublesome than it was now!
“Sigh, it’s finally over.”
Xie Xuanyi threw away Lu Yuzhen’s head, feeling a rare clarity in his Heart Lake.
After slaying the Heart Demon—
The last imperfection in the Principle of Life was remedied!
At this moment, the two Principles were fully ascended to Perfection!
Previously, Xie Xuanyi had condensed both “Life and Death” Principles into a single light ball, compressed into the size of an embryo.
Now, this highly compressed “Light Ball” transformed into a tiny humanoid embryo.
It was a miniature version of “Xie Xuanyi”.
Above the Purple Mansion Divine Sea, suddenly there was such a Divine Embryo—
Heaven and earth were turned upside down!
The long-gathering Cave Heaven Realm shattered at this moment.
A single Principle condensing into a Realm could perfect the Cave Heaven, transforming it into a small world!
Now,
Both Principles have fully condensed into Realms, and the Divine Embryo has successfully taken form!
Before Xie Xuanyi, the raging waves of the Divine Sea swept across, and suddenly a vast world unfolded, with the formed “Divine Embryo” becoming the sole deity that rules and suppresses this chaotic world.
Xie Xuanyi looked up at the Divine Embryo.
The Divine Embryo slowly opened its eyes and gazed back at Xie Xuanyi.
“Suppress.”
Xie Xuanyi softly voiced a word, he stretched out a hand, palm turning over slowly towards the ground.
“Suppress.”
The Divine Embryo also uttered the word.
The newly-formed Life and Death Divine Embryo, making the same gesture as Xie Xuanyi, also reached out its palm, facing downwards.
In charge of this Divine Sea.
As the word “suppress” was spoken, thunder rolled!
Across an unknown expanse of the vast Purple Mansion, the surface of the sea smoothed in an instant, the chaotic skies suddenly clear.
