I cultivate the Purple Mansion Golden Elixir Dao on Earth

Displacement is a relative concept.

There is no external change, so the change must come from within!

The various causes and changes in Daoist theory were reflected in Lin Yu's mind.

At the same time, his spiritual consciousness had already been reflected in that spiritual place, the "back chamber," which was both in the world and yet not in the world.

"Continue... let me see the changes in this [Ganmu]."

While observing silently.

A stream of green energy flowed in his eyes.

Another piece of hidden knowledge also surfaced from the deepest part of Lin Yu's heart.

……

The text of the cultivation method from the "Immortal Elixir Seed Scripture" was clearly reflected in my sea of ​​consciousness.

Xu Xiuneng could feel that the space that belonged to him, the space manifested by his lifespan and life force, was shrinking little by little.

Although she had no obvious form in this space, a feeling of increasing confinement arose spontaneously.

Xu Xiu remained silent.

"Still don't want to fight for it? If this continues, everything that belongs to you... will be taken away by me."

Shang Yin's cold voice came continuously.

However, Xu Xiu still did not follow the direction indicated by that cultivation method, using the other party as the seed and the other side as the medicinal guide, to cultivate his own "immortal medicinal soil".

Although there were a few moments when she was slightly tempted to cultivate, circulate, and kill each other according to the "Undying Medicine Seed Scripture".

But... for some reason, while she was feeling attracted, she could also faintly smell a delicate fragrance.

That faint fragrance was like the aroma distilled from past events and memories. Upon smelling it, Xu Xiu felt a pang of sadness, and only fragments of the past surfaced in her mind.

So... she ultimately did not take any action.

Xu Xiu could only keep pondering the "Immortal Elixir Seed Scripture," repeatedly reading and comprehending its principles, trying to find any way to break the deadlock.

"You've actually managed to endure this for so long, Xu Xiu..."

"Tsk tsk, but if you do that, won't I look like the villain?"

Shang Yin coldly mocked, but did not relax her efforts to draw life force from Xu Xiu.

"...But even if he's a villain, at least the concept of a 'villainous protagonist' exists in the world, but there's no such thing as a 'supporting protagonist'."

"So even villains can become the sun, become stars, and achieve my goals."

Shangyin's thoughts grew increasingly sharp and ruthless.

But Xu Xiu's consciousness finally stirred.

"...Is that all?"

She spoke softly.

"Shangyin, your path... the path you have chosen requires sacrificing others, offering sacrifices to others, in order to achieve something."

"...But if I remember correctly, the person you admired and envied was me, right?"

"So what?"

A chilling thought came from there and was applied here.

Shang Yin remained unmoved.

"While I don't think your statements about the protagonist and the stars are correct... don't you think Shangyin has misunderstood?"

Xu Xiu gently retorted:

"...A star radiates light and heat...it burns itself to illuminate others. But the path you've chosen merely involves extracting light from others, sacrificing them to achieve your own...doesn't this contradict your own vision?"

"...What kind of sun is this?"

Shangyin remained silent for a moment.

Xu Xiu, perhaps, was stimulated by the faint, lingering fragrance that permeated the space.

Her thoughts became brighter and clearer.

"And what you said before, the arrogant expression on your face every time I saw you and Jiang Wanren joking around at school..."

"...But actually, I have never been high and mighty."

"I've always just considered you all as friends."

"I've reflected on myself and recalled the scene... I did feel relaxed and enjoyed that time when I watched you guys fooling around."

"But my enjoyment doesn't come from using you as a foil to my own; it's simply because... I'm happy when I'm with you."

That's all.

"So, what I'm trying to say is... if what you yearn for is the dazzling light of the sun..."

"So, I never did anything to be dazzling in the first place."

"I only became dazzling in your eyes because... I wanted to do something, right?"

At this point, Xu Xiu had completely given up on practicing the "Undying Elixir Seed Scripture".

She released this vibrant space, feeling everything that belonged to her peeling away piece by piece, filling the void left for Shangyin.

Xu Xiu's own lifespan is being transformed into nourishment for Shang Yin.

As she grew weaker, Xu Xiu's mind became purer.

However, Shangyin's thoughts became complicated.

It seemed to be mixed with sobs, or perhaps it was a sound of clenching teeth.

A powerful hatred surged within her, yet it was also tinged with intense self-loathing:

"That's it... Seo Soo!"

"What terrifies me most about people like you is this!"

"This is precisely the reason for my greatest pain!"

"So...you really are a saint!"

"It really makes me feel how despicable and base my own character is every time I try to figure you out..."

"That's what I fear most!"

"If my hatred, my loathing, my fantasies... are merely projections of myself, and your true nature is completely different from what I imagine, utterly not base... then what should I do? What can I possibly do?!"

"...Don't put it down, Xu Xiu! I want you to fight for it for me!"

Shang Yin's inner screams were agonizing, and for some reason, they turned into a struggling howl. At the same time, she even unleashed the cultivation techniques of the "Undying Elixir Seed Scripture".

But at this point, this step could no longer be stopped.

Xu Xiu's vitality continued to flow into her body.

However, in that extreme weakness, Xu Xiu was even unable to send out his thoughts.

But at this moment, her mind was pure and innocent, and she even faintly felt a warmth and brightness.

"If this... if it can change Shangyin even slightly, then I..."

Weak, in pain, devoured, divided, and swallowed up, everything has been reduced to nothing.

Xu Xiu seemed to have given up all his lifespan and life force, and there was nothing left to give.

But right there, at that point where it can't be cut any further...

There's nothing left to offer...

In the midst of emptiness, the original text of the "Undying Elixir Seed Scripture" underwent a complete transformation in her mind!

The general outline and principles of the entire technique remained the same as before, but in an instant, it transformed into another technique that also pointed to the [Essence of Immortality] supernatural power, yet was completely different!

That cultivation technique shone brightly in her heart, even nourishing Xu Xiu's entire soul and restoring her consciousness.

The flow of words transformed into a profound emotion that filled Xu Xiu's heart, allowing her to grasp the true name of the cultivation technique amidst astonishment and joy...

It is called—

"Upholding the Mystery and Serving Life, I Knock on the True Scripture!"
