Emojis
ForTestingPurposeNan Shuangxue secretly marveled at the inside of the pavilion; a sea of splendid sunset light spread out, and several celestial spirits floated out from various books.
EmojisForTestingPurposeShe and the elder walked through the staircase, with bookshelves on both sides, all piled with books.
EmojisForTestingPurposeHan Yu walked slowly, casually saying:
EmojisForTestingPurpose“Foundation building also has varying qualities.
EmojisForTestingPurposeGenerally, foundation quality is classified as: Ordinary, Spirit, Immortal, and even Saint level.”
EmojisForTestingPurposeNan Shuangxue curiously asked, “Is there anything higher than the Saint level?”
EmojisForTestingPurpose“There is, of course!”
EmojisForTestingPurposeHan Yu paused and then said, “The rarest and most difficult to find is Extreme Dao Foundation Building!”
EmojisForTestingPurpose“Extreme Dao Foundation Building?”
EmojisForTestingPurpose“Yes,” Han Yu paused again and said, “In the last three thousand years, only two people have achieved Extreme Dao Foundation Building.”
EmojisForTestingPurpose“Who are they?”
EmojisForTestingPurposeHan Yu proudly said, as if talking about himself: “I don’t know about the others, but I know that one of them is your master, Bai Muchun!”
EmojisForTestingPurposeNan Shuangxue was once again in awe of her master.
EmojisForTestingPurposeShe had always thought that her master was strong in swordsmanship, but now she realized that not only was his swordsmanship exceptional, but his cultivation in the Dao was equally terrifying.
EmojisForTestingPurposeUsually, due to her disciple status, she didn’t dare to ask too many questions, so she didn’t know much about him.
EmojisForTestingPurpose“Little girl, it’s indeed worth boasting about your Celestial Sword, but don’t get too proud.
EmojisForTestingPurposeYou should know, in the Middle Earth Immortal State, the last thing they lack is talent!”
EmojisForTestingPurpose“I understand, senior.”
EmojisForTestingPurpose“Hehe, that’s good.”
EmojisForTestingPurposeHan Yu stroked his beard and squinted his eyes, looking at the sea of text.
EmojisForTestingPurpose“This is your place of enlightenment. Remember, no matter what happens here, don’t be surprised.”
EmojisForTestingPurposeNan Shuangxue nodded and walked past the elder into the sea of books.
EmojisForTestingPurposeA ripple stirred.
EmojisForTestingPurposeWater splashed, and the accumulated water scattered.
EmojisForTestingPurposeNan Shuangxue entered a world where there was no sun or moon, no buildings or people.
EmojisForTestingPurposeThe entire world was empty, silent and still.
EmojisForTestingPurposeIt felt as if this place was chaos itself, a primordial era.
EmojisForTestingPurposeAt that moment, the elder transmitted a voice to her.
EmojisForTestingPurpose“Little girl, don’t be surprised.
EmojisForTestingPurposeThis is the ‘Out of Law Realm.’
EmojisForTestingPurposeAs the name suggests, there are no Dao laws, no spiritual energy, and no external distractions here.
EmojisForTestingPurposeThis will help you ask yourself and reach your true heart.”
EmojisForTestingPurpose“Thank you, senior, for clearing my doubts,” Nan Shuangxue said, bowing to the void.
EmojisForTestingPurpose“Alright, to keep it short, you may begin your enlightenment.
EmojisForTestingPurposeI have other matters, so I’ll leave first.”
EmojisForTestingPurposeAfter saying goodbye briefly, Nan Shuangxue immediately sat down.
EmojisForTestingPurposeAt first, she wanted to circulate her spiritual energy to achieve enlightenment, but then she thought that since this was the Out of Law Realm, the removal of spiritual energy interference seemed to prove that spiritual energy could have a big disadvantage when it comes to enlightenment.
EmojisForTestingPurposeSo, she decided to abandon circulating the spiritual energy in her limbs and instead entered a state similar to meditation, but purer.
EmojisForTestingPurposeHer mind was completely clear, like a monk meditating, focusing on the Dao.
EmojisForTestingPurposeShe wasn’t sure how long she had been meditating when suddenly
EmojisForTestingPurposeWhile deep in meditation, Nan Shuangxue suddenly felt as if she were falling through the clouds.
EmojisForTestingPurposeHer senses became extremely sharp.
EmojisForTestingPurposeWhen she opened her eyes again, she saw golden steps before her.
EmojisForTestingPurposeLooking ahead, it was as if there was a golden road stretching out before her.
EmojisForTestingPurposeIn front of her, there was not only one golden road, but also a long bridge of gray and white on her right.
EmojisForTestingPurposeNan Shuangxue stood at a crossroads in her life for the first time.
EmojisForTestingPurposeShe stood at the crossroads of her destiny.
EmojisForTestingPurposeIt was up to her whether to grasp her fate or to become a puppet of fate.
EmojisForTestingPurposeIt was all in her hands.
EmojisForTestingPurposeOn the boundless cloud sea, two figures sat facing each other.
EmojisForTestingPurpose“Little Bai, drink! Drink!” Han Yu called out.
EmojisForTestingPurposeBai Muchun shook his head and said, “I don’t touch alcohol.”
EmojisForTestingPurposeHan Yu, upon hearing this, became interested and smiled at him, “Is it because of your disciple?”
EmojisForTestingPurpose“Mm.”
EmojisForTestingPurposeHan Yu, hearing this, drank a large cup and sighed, “A lot has changed.”
EmojisForTestingPurposeThe elder actually had many things he wanted to say to the “Sword Master” in front of him, but when the words reached his lips, he couldn’t speak them.
EmojisForTestingPurposeHan Yu took another sip of his wine.
EmojisForTestingPurposeThe potency of the wine made his vision blur, and he muttered:
EmojisForTestingPurpose“Strange, why does it feel like I can’t handle such a small amount today?”
EmojisForTestingPurposeBai Muchun calmly said, “Too many worries, naturally.”
EmojisForTestingPurposeHan Yu sighed, then laughed and cursed:
EmojisForTestingPurpose“Damn it, you and your senior brother are the same, with such keen observation…”
EmojisForTestingPurpose“I won’t say much more.
EmojisForTestingPurposeLittle Bai, do you know the scene when you built your foundation?”
EmojisForTestingPurpose“Of course.”
EmojisForTestingPurposeA rare hint of nostalgia appeared in Bai Muchun’s eyes.
EmojisForTestingPurpose“If it weren’t for you, sir, I would have probably died early.”
EmojisForTestingPurpose“I’ll say one thing.
EmojisForTestingPurposeIf your disciple’s foundation is the Extreme Dao Foundation, then you might attract a lot of trouble.”
EmojisForTestingPurposeHan Yu’s eyes showed deep respect.
EmojisForTestingPurpose“Not to mention the celestial phenomena, but just the rules of the Central Immortal Continent… when you built your foundation, your master had dealings with that old man…”
EmojisForTestingPurpose“No need to say more,” Bai Muchun replied calmly.
EmojisForTestingPurpose“If he dares to come, I will cut off his arm!”
EmojisForTestingPurposeHan Yu extended his thumb, praising, “So domineering! As expected from the one who is unrivaled in the sword path!”
EmojisForTestingPurposeHan Yu took a wine jar and continued to pour.
EmojisForTestingPurpose“I’m guessing your disciple will soon make a choice.
EmojisForTestingPurposeI’m looking forward to when you draw your sword.”
EmojisForTestingPurposeBai Muchun looked to the east, coldly saying, “You better not come.”
EmojisForTestingPurposeThese were undoubtedly two heavenly paths.
EmojisForTestingPurposeNan Shuangxue was certain in her heart that whichever path she chose, it would be far superior to what an ordinary cultivator could achieve.
EmojisForTestingPurposeBut the most important thing now was which path she should choose, or more specifically, which path was suitable for her.
EmojisForTestingPurposeNan Shuangxue took a step forward.
EmojisForTestingPurposeAs her foot touched the steps, eight large characters appeared before her.
EmojisForTestingPurpose“Follow nature, the end of the heavens.”
EmojisForTestingPurposeNan Shuangxue looked to the right and saw the other gray-white path with eight large characters floating.
EmojisForTestingPurpose“Follow your true nature, the beginning of humanity.”
EmojisForTestingPurposeNan Shuangxue frowned slightly, feeling that she understood these words, yet at the same time, she didn’t.
EmojisForTestingPurposeAt that moment, her heart lake suddenly rippled.
EmojisForTestingPurposeAn energy, unclear and flowing, formed into something resembling a dialogue box.
EmojisForTestingPurposeAbandon humanity, forge the Dao; or, abandon the Dao, forge humanity.
EmojisForTestingPurposeWhat is your choice?
EmojisForTestingPurposeNan Shuangxue hesitated for a moment, then quickly made her decision.
EmojisForTestingPurposeShe stepped forward, trying to walk toward the golden path.
EmojisForTestingPurposeJust as she took a half step, as if about to place her foot down
EmojisForTestingPurposeShe suddenly heard a whisper like the spring breeze in her ear.
EmojisForTestingPurpose“From now on, you are Bai Muchun’s disciple!”
EmojisForTestingPurposeShe withdrew her foot and turned to walk toward the gray-white path.
EmojisForTestingPurposeBut as soon as her right hand touched it, a line of text appeared in front of her.
EmojisForTestingPurposeAre you truly willing to abandon your sword path?
EmojisForTestingPurposeNan Shuangxue bit her lip, her eyes filled with turmoil.
EmojisForTestingPurposeIn her heart, she waged a battle between the two choices.
EmojisForTestingPurposeShe started to hesitate, considering whether she should truly abandon the sword path she had always been so firm in.
EmojisForTestingPurposeShe wanted her master, and she also wanted the sword path.
EmojisForTestingPurposeIf she had to choose between the two, it was extremely difficult.
EmojisForTestingPurposeBecause no matter what she chose, she didn’t want to, and it would hurt her heart.
EmojisForTestingPurposeNan Shuangxue began to second-guess her choice.
EmojisForTestingPurposeShe stared blankly, thinking, if only she hadn’t built her foundation, then she wouldn’t have to face these two painful choices.
EmojisForTestingPurposeThis thought had barely crossed her mind when
EmojisForTestingPurposeThe entire world seemed to tremble.
EmojisForTestingPurposeNan Shuangxue slowly lowered her head, as if resigned to fate.
EmojisForTestingPurpose“Are you giving up just like that?”
EmojisForTestingPurposeIn her mind, the words Bai Muchun had said echoed once again.
EmojisForTestingPurposeHis seemingly teasing but actually cautionary words.
EmojisForTestingPurpose“I…”
EmojisForTestingPurpose“Little girl, your killing intent is too heavy.
EmojisForTestingPurposeIt’s hard to wield a sword.”
EmojisForTestingPurposeWords echoed in her heart, as if a bright lamp had lit up in the dim wall of the mountain.
EmojisForTestingPurposeNan Shuangxue lowered her head and murmured:
EmojisForTestingPurpose“My master is so good, what reason do I have to abandon the sword path for him?
EmojisForTestingPurposeI also need the sword path, what reason do I have not to choose the sword path?”
EmojisForTestingPurpose“I have no reason.”
EmojisForTestingPurposeIt was as if she understood.
EmojisForTestingPurposeShe slowly raised her head and looked at the two heavenly paths.
EmojisForTestingPurpose“I don’t want to walk either.”
EmojisForTestingPurposeHer black eyes gleamed like a sharp sword, filled with a murderous aura.
EmojisForTestingPurpose“I won’t abandon the sword path…”
EmojisForTestingPurpose“Moreover, my master… has never been a choice!”
EmojisForTestingPurpose“But my disciple’s… must be the only choice!”
EmojisForTestingPurposeNan Shuangxue took a step back, staring intently at the two paths, an incredibly wild thought surging in her heart.
EmojisForTestingPurpose“If the heavens are unfair, then I will walk my own path.”
EmojisForTestingPurposeSword energy, like a rainbow, gathered in her hand.
EmojisForTestingPurposeShe coldly glanced at the two paths and said calmly:
EmojisForTestingPurpose“I have one sword, to sweep away all injustice!”
