I am a full-level celestial master, you let me enter the strange talk of rules?

When Zhang Yangqing asked this question, the eerie consciousness remained silent for a long time, unsure how to answer.

Its consciousness fluctuations were unusually tinged with a hint of confusion: "Great God, I have done a lot of things, killing the remnants of the Qing Tong family. Actually, I enjoy killing, but killing these low-level ones doesn't give me much of a feeling."

“I also rescued injured miners and cleared out the eerie nest. They were indeed very grateful to me, and the way they looked at me was different from how I remembered them. However, I don’t think it’s worth it for me to protect them.”

“I saved them because it was convenient. I killed the monsters because this is our territory and they shouldn’t exist. I dealt with the remnants of the Qing Tong family because they were a threat and should be eliminated.”

After much thought, the eerie consciousness concluded: "During that time, I didn't experience the emotions you described. Does that mean I'll never understand humans?"

Zhang Yangqing did not answer immediately.
Within his sea of ​​consciousness, Zhang Yangqing's consciousness fluctuated slightly, as if he were deep in thought.

After a long silence, he spoke.

Instead of a direct answer, it was a seemingly unrelated statement: "Those who cultivate the Tao will encounter a threshold when they reach a certain level. Many people choose to leave the world in order to break through this threshold."

"The so-called 'entering the world' means returning to the human world, experiencing birth, aging, sickness, and death, feeling love, hate, and passion, and living with ordinary people who are far weaker, more foolish, and more short-sighted than oneself."

"You may be misunderstood by them, hurt by them, or taken advantage of by them, but you may also help them, be tolerant of them, and understand them."

At this point, Zhang Yangqing paused, letting the strange consciousness think for itself.

The eerie consciousness remained silent for a long time before speaking: "Great God, are you telling me that only by entering the world can I realize that those emotions I once thought were boring, foolish, and incomprehensible are not meaningless? Only by forming bonds with humans, and through those bonds, can I gain the power to protect? Is this love and justice?"

The eerie words left countless viewers outside the big screen deep in thought.

What was originally thought to be just a casual instruction from Zhang Tianshi to his younger brother turned out to be a profound philosophical question about cultivation.

The live chat exploded instantly:

So that's how it is! This is what cultivators call "entering the world"! Cultivating in the deep mountains and forests makes one's emotions grow weaker and weaker. No matter how high one's cultivation level is, one is still just a lonely person. Only by returning to the human world, forming bonds with people, and having someone one wants to protect, can one unleash power beyond the limit at crucial moments!
I've discovered that this strange consciousness has a surprisingly high level of comprehension! It's only been around for a short time, yet it can understand such profound principles and even summarize them into terms like "love and justice." Amazing!

Is it possible that Zhang Tianshi was a skilled teacher? After all, only this chosen one could so easily fool the supernatural into doing his bidding?

The person upstairs is right. It's not that Wei Yi has high comprehension, but that Zhang Tianshi explained things thoroughly. If it were any other chosen one, Wei Yi would have already turned on the host. How could they have sat down to discuss philosophy?

LOL, even the supernatural is starting to contemplate life. This world of ghost stories might have to be renamed "Zhang Tianshi and His Weird Followers"!
However, just as the comments were immersed in the touching atmosphere of "love and justice," the style of the ghost story world suddenly changed.

Zhang Yangqing was visibly taken aback after hearing the strange consciousness's reply.

A hint of confusion crept into his mind: "What love and justice? What nonsense are you spouting?"

The eerie consciousness was also stunned: "Huh? Isn't that right? In the memories I inherited, some weaklings, before they died, shouted something like 'Don't underestimate the bond between us,' and then rushed over and killed the eerie entity that inherited my memories from!"

It paused, seemingly pleased with its analysis: "Isn't this the power of bonds? Isn't this love and justice?"

Zhang Yangqing remained silent for two seconds.

Then, in a tone that seemed to say, "Are you kidding me?", it slowly said, "No, what I want to say is that once you enter the world, you will discover two things." The eerie consciousness pricked up its ears and listened intently.

"First, if you still have rivals in the secular world, and there are strong people who can threaten your existence, then you will naturally have the motivation to become stronger. In order to survive and not be defeated, you will desperately cultivate."

"Second, if you are already invincible and have no attachment to anything in this world, and feel that there is nothing in this world worth your attention, then you will start to consider where to go next."

"That is, the so-called 'ascension' to a higher level of plane. So, the reason for us at this level to enter the mortal world is very simple: we need a goal and we need motivation."

"It's not for love or justice, it's to know where I should go."

The eerie consciousness fell silent.

It was frantically processing Zhang Yangqing's words.

After a long silence, it cautiously asked, "Then, great master, how can I determine if I am already 'invincible'?"

It asked very seriously because it was now at the Celestial Realm level, which allowed it to roam freely in this underground world, but it wasn't sure if that counted as invincible.

Zhang Yangqing's answer was light and airy, yet it struck the sea of ​​consciousness of the strange mind like a heavy hammer: "Like me, pointing fingers at others."

eerie consciousness: "."

It took him about three seconds to realize the deeper meaning of the sentence.

What the hell!

666!
The master is saying: The reason I can give you pointers, teach you the principles of engaging with and transcending the world, and guide you on how to cultivate yourself and how to think is because...

I am invincible.

I am qualified to give you guidance.

You don't.

Just one sentence, understated yet brimming with sophistication.

The eerie consciousness screamed inwardly: I'm impressed! I'm truly impressed! This master's ability to show off is simply unparalleled and masterful!
This is the gap!

The barrage of comments exploded once again:
My fellow family members, I'm laughing so hard I can't live! We're still having a heartfelt discussion about what love and justice are, and Master Zhang is telling you straight up: strength is the only true measure of success!
These two sentences may seem pretentious, but upon closer inspection, they make perfect sense! When you don't know your own limitations, you enter the world to find opponents, get a good beating, and then you'll understand; when you've defeated everyone, it's time to consider looking at a higher dimension.

I used to think I had pretty good talent, but there was always a gap between me and top geniuses. After listening to Master Zhang's words today, I finally understand that it's not a matter of talent, but a matter of mindset! Top geniuses think about "how to find opponents," while I think about "how not to get crushed." The difference in perspective is like night and day!
I've learned a lot! Today's trade was worthwhile; I've learned a lot!

Just as Zhang Yangqing was chatting idly with the strange consciousness, there was a gentle knock on the stone door of the rest room.

The eagle-eyed miner pushed open the door, carrying a stack of files written on rough paper. (End of Chapter)
