Cultivation Level Breakdown:
First Level: Entering Aperture (The most basic level of cultivation, helping people unlock their potential and bring ordinary people into the path of cultivation!)
Second Level: Condensing Soul (Why is there such a huge difference in ability between ordinary people and cultivators? The main reason is the difference in the degree of soul condensation! The soul is the greatest source of energy within a person. Ordinary people's souls are scattered and weak, while cultivators' souls are condensed and robust!)
Third Level: Purity (When one's own energy is condensed and cultivated to a certain extent, it becomes impossible to proceed further. At this point, Purity is needed! This means clearing out impurities and leaving only the most refined essence to continue cultivation. The degree of internal Purity is also a key factor in determining future achievements. The higher the purity, the greater the potential for development!)
Fourth Level: Opening Aperture (After cultivating through the first three levels, one's potential has been fully excavated. This means no matter how much more you cultivate, you'll at most become an unparalleled worldly expert. Furthermore, in all cultivation methods of the various sects on the path of desire, the first three levels are the same. The true key lies in the fourth level, Opening Aperture. In fact, only upon reaching this stage can you be considered to have truly glimpsed the path of cultivation. Because no matter how gifted you are, you are still just a human. In the face of the vast and boundless universe, you are less than a grain of sand. Only by connecting yourself with the universe and controlling this boundless universe with your own being can you achieve immortality alongside heaven and earth! Since each sect's method for Opening Aperture is different, it leads to different future developments. Of course, there are also those who go the opposite way, communicating with different heavens and earths, instead declaring: "I am heaven, I am earth!" We call this path: cultivating demonic arts!)
Fifth Level: Nascent Soul (Only upon reaching this level can you be considered a true cultivator, and it is a prerequisite for future Ascension to Immortality! For cultivators, the physical body becomes merely a stinking skin bag in the later stages. The physical body can be rebuilt if destroyed, but if the Nascent Soul is destroyed, it means eternal damnation! To ascend, one must possess infinite energy. The greater the energy you possess, the greater the power of heaven and earth you can control, much like a larger stone can create bigger splashes. The physical body cannot withstand such immense energy, so the soul is wrapped in energy, and energy is used to form the body. In the later stages, the physical body is merely a vessel. The more condensed the energy, the smaller its volume, so a smaller Nascent Soul indicates higher cultivation! As for those who cultivate demonic arts, they endlessly strengthen their physical bodies to achieve the goal of "In heaven and earth, I alone am honored." We will not elaborate on this here!)
Sixth Level: Selflessness (Humans are always entangled by endless emotions, which goes against the Heavenly Dao. If you possess infinite energy and are still bound by emotions, the ultimate result will be "qi deviation"! To put it plainly, if the previous stages were about cultivating energy, this stage is about cultivating the soul!)
Seventh Level: Great Vehicle (A cultivator who possesses infinite energy, can communicate with heaven and earth, and is free from distracting thoughts and worries has reached the Great Vehicle realm. They are awaiting the moment of Nirvana rebirth!)
Eighth Level: Nirvana (This level is a gateway of life and death. If successful, one is reborn from the ashes; if they fail, they are eternally extinguished! Many people choose Soldier's Demise at this point to cultivate as a Golden Immortal!)
Ninth Level: Ascension (Congratulations, congratulations! There's nothing else to say, let's disperse!)
Annotation: To advance from one level to the next requires passing tribulations, and the tribulations become greater as one progresses. The power of these tribulations increases geometrically. It must be specifically noted here: the Nirvana level is merely a gate, a test, like a college entrance exam. Those who pass directly reach Ascension, and those who don't, bid farewell. The power of the Nirvana heavenly tribulation is directly proportional to the cultivator's cultivation. That is, the higher the cultivator's cultivation, the more terrifying the heavenly tribulation encountered during Nirvana! However, if one's cultivation is insufficient, it's a dead end, so this presents a contradiction! As for cultivating as a Golden Immortal, it can be divided into: Golden Immortal, Great Golden Immortal, Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and Perfected Immortal! Each faces a tribulation once every thousand years, and the later ones become more terrifying. If one becomes a Perfected Immortal, they are one with heaven and earth, but, as of now, it is only rumored that one person has achieved this! [Tsk tsk, Bajie also made up his own cultivation rank, cackle])
Main Text:
Sheng Nixie jumped off a cliff. That's right, he jumped off a cliff—What is love in this world? Tsk tsk tsk, he's more devoted than Yang Guo, jumping without a second thought.
That's right, you guessed it, he didn't die. Come on, how could anyone die from jumping off a cliff these days?
Sheng Nixie, who didn't die, naturally discovered an opening at the bottom of the cliff that led straight underground.
So, like countless novels, he went in.
This was a secret chamber, an absolutely secret chamber!
On the table lay a book, or perhaps it should be called: a stack of paper.
In the dim passage, the pale walls had only a few sparse, flickering oil lamps that groaned feebly like empty beings (Don't know who Kong Kong is? Why don't you go practice the Sunflower Manual?).
"Drip! Drip! Drip!" Low and distant footsteps slithered in.
It was very quiet, so quiet that the echoes of footsteps reverberated through the passage without any impurity.
"Pat!"
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
"Huh!? Where is it?... Oh!~ It's in my hand!" (Sweat la... --)
"Creak! Crunch~~~" Sheng Nixie walked in slowly and excitedly (His whole body was trembling, wasn't he excited? What? Is he going to ejaculate?... ORZ). In front of the table, Sheng Nixie stopped. A piercing silver light flashed across Sheng Nixie's eyes, and an aura of despair emanated from him.
(Will attentive young masters ask: Wasn't it said that it was a secret chamber? And what kind of absolute secret chamber is this? How was it so easily entered by Sheng Nixie?)
(Author replies: Because Sheng Nixie has the [Key]!)
(What the heck! Who's throwing bricks?)
A faint, hazy yellow light emanated from the stack of paper, gently and firmly enveloping the entire table.
"Ah~~~~~~" Sheng Nixie withdrew his hand in a sorry state, the air filled with the pungent aroma of roasted meat. "Heh!" Sheng Nixie looked at his hand with a self-deprecating chuckle. The flesh of his entire palm was cooked and peeling off. A stream of qi, like flowing spring water, quickly enveloped his palm. After three breaths, his hand was restored to its original appearance!
(What? Left hand or right hand? Do you prefer your left or right hand? I personally am more accustomed to my right hand... YMPK)
"Heh! It seems I can't do it without using the incantation. Damn it, who the hell came up with such a disgusting incantation?" Sheng Nixie muttered to himself.
"Ah~~~~~~~~~ Ah~~~~~~~~~ En en heng~~~~~~~ OMG~~~~~~~ *ME!" After reciting the incantation, Sheng Nixie's face was already purple and green. In his heart, he was furiously cursing the ancestors of some unknown person's female relatives!
Just as Sheng Nixie was engaging in unhealthy mental activities, a golden light suddenly appeared out of nowhere, engulfing Sheng Nixie entirely. Before Sheng Nixie could even react, an irresistible force, like an unavoidable ejaculation, drew out all the energy within Sheng Nixie. Sheng Nixie, in utter terror, discovered that even his soul seemed to be flying out.
However, Sheng Nixie could only endure the feeling of his soul being torn apart, like a little girl being violated by a strong man; Sheng Nixie suddenly had a bizarre and extraordinary thought: "Actually, being raped by someone can also be a very enjoyable experience, can't it? You can let go and enjoy it, you can shout loudly. But now, not only is there no pleasure, I can't even shout! What kind of situation is this?"
"Ah~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am not reconciled~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am still a pure virgin~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If the heavens give me another chance, I will sleep with all the women!" As he said this, the silver light in Sheng Nixie's eyes shot out about a foot.
But everything continued...
Just as Sheng Nixie was completely despairing and his soul was about to be extracted, it stopped. The merciless squeezing ceased, as if it had never happened. A warm, soft current gently flowed through Sheng Nixie's entire body, which was already in a deep coma—In the face of this immensely powerful force, the unknown golden and silver lights within Sheng Nixie could only be silently violated!
"Ah~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~" A moan, like a climax, escaped Sheng Nixie's lips.
With a "swallow's flip," Sheng Nixie quickly got up from the ground, preparing to quickly leave this cursed place. Sheng Nixie's only thought now was how to escape, so he didn't notice that his body had not only not been damaged but had actually been greatly strengthened, especially his soul.
Just as Sheng Nixie was about to gather his energy and charge out, an inexplicable force held him firmly in place. Sheng Nixie, terrified, discovered that he couldn't mobilize even a trace of power—Didn't Sheng Nixie prepare to die? Why was he afraid of death now? En en, there's a reason for this, please continue reading!
"Who? Who's playing tricks on this great master? If you have the guts, come out! Attacking from the shadows, what kind of pathetic skill is that? If you have a pair, come and fight me for 1000 rounds!"
"..."
"Scared? If you're scared, then let me go. I can be magnanimous and not hold it against you!"
"..."
"...—%—……(—……—¥……%¥……%—……%—%—((……—%……*"
"..."
No matter how viciously Sheng Nixie cursed, there was no response. The silver light in Sheng Nixie's eyes blazed, and he became more animated the more he cursed...
Three days passed.
Sheng Nixie had been immobilized for three days, and he had also cursed for three days. Due to extreme emptiness and panic, he hadn't noticed that his power and soul were growing at a terrifying rate during these three days.
By the fifth day, Sheng Nixie stopped cursing. He finally noticed the changes within his body. Sheng Nixie vaguely grasped a clue. He was now wholeheartedly cultivating, feeling the inexplicable boiling within him. The silver light in his eyes grew stronger, and his lower body was immodestly erect, with the silver light there shining brilliantly.
The seventh day!
Just as Sheng Nixie was fully enjoying the unparalleled pleasure brought by the increase in power, a faint voice, like a thunderclap, pierced through the entire secret chamber.
"Little brat! Why did you stop cursing?" The voice sounded extremely weak, as if after shooting ten times.
Sheng Nixie's body trembled uncontrollably. Perhaps it was due to the significant strengthening of his soul, but Sheng Nixie quickly calmed his turbulent emotions and asked in a deep voice, "Are you finally willing to come out?"
"Heh heh!" The voice let out a strange laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Sheng Nixie asked, a little annoyed and a little guilty.
"Are you afraid of me?"
"What are you talking about? I'm afraid of you? Don't make me laugh!"
"Oh!? Is that so?"
A powerful and domineering pressure surged towards Sheng Nixie. If he hadn't been unable to move, Sheng Nixie would have already run away. However, now he could only endure it.
"What do you want to do? Are you here to torture me? Oh! No! You're not. If you were, why would you help me? Perhaps you've been bored for too long and want someone to entertain you? Hmm?" Sheng Nixie asked, both ashamed and rational.
"Oh!?" The voice sounded very interested. "Why do you say I helped you? Hmm!?"
"I bet on the right thing!" Sheng Nixie thought to himself. Thinking that this mysterious entity had no ill will towards him and might even be helping him, Sheng Nixie's speech became much calmer and steadier.
"Firstly, during these six or seven days, my power and soul have been inexplicably growing at a rapid pace."
"..."
"Secondly, besides me, you are the only other thing that has appeared here!"
"I am a person, not a thing!" The voice sounded a little annoyed.
Sheng Nixie really wanted to laugh at this stranger's defense, but he didn't want to anger him, so he continued, "Based on these two points, the conclusion I've reached is that someone is secretly helping me, and that person is you! Although I don't know your motive, I'm certain you won't harm me!"
"..."
Silence, silence.
"Hahaha! Not bad, not bad. You're a smart person, but there's one point you haven't fully explained correctly!"
"Which point?"
"I will harm you. That was my original intention!"
"Then... why?"
"Because of something you said, I changed my initial plan."
"What sentence?"
"It was that sentence you shouted: 'Ahhhhhhhhhhh! I'm not reconciled~~~~~~~~~~ I'm still a pure virgin~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If heaven gives me another chance, I want to sleep with all the women!'"
Sheng Nixie felt an urge to faint. He moved his lips with difficulty: "..."
"Don't ask me, I can tell you the reason! First, let me ask you, why are you here? Is it for the things in that stack of paper?"
"Of course!" Sheng Nixie said frankly.
"Why?"
"For Yu, I want her to be reborn!" Sheng Nixie's face twisted and contorted.
"Very good, very powerful. Even if doing so requires paying an immense price, you are still willing?"
"Of course, why wouldn't I?"
"Heh heh!" The voice chuckled lewdly.
"What are you laughing at? Is it that funny?" Gradually, Sheng Nixie began to fear this stranger less.
"No! Then I can help you achieve your wish."
"No need, that stack of paper is enough."
"I regret to inform you that it's just a stack of blank paper. Their only purpose is to trap me. They cannot revive your so-called Yu at all." The stranger sounded a little smug.
Sheng Nixie was stunned. He slumped to the ground. In fact, Sheng Nixie could move from the moment the stranger's voice sounded, but he hadn't noticed it.
"Heh heh! Don't despair, I told you I can grant your wish..." The stranger was starting to sound a bit gloating.
"I agree, I'll agree to any condition!" Before the stranger could finish, Sheng Nixie stood up resolutely, his eyes flashing with astonishing light.
"Good!" Perhaps sensing Sheng Nixie's powerful aura, the stranger also became serious.
"First, I want to tell you: I have already helped you become a top-tier expert in the [Late-stage Selflessness] stage. If it weren't for your insufficient state of mind cultivation, you would already be a peak expert in the [Great Vehicle] stage. Don't look at me with such doubtful eyes; this is true. I used all my soul energy to help you reach this point, and I also helped you resist the [Selflessness Tribulation]. Otherwise, why do you think I am so weak right now?"
(The so-called [Selflessness Tribulation] is: the name of the tribulation required to advance from [Nascent Soul] to [Selflessness]!)
Sheng Nixie was dumbfounded, only his mouth moving unconsciously, emitting some unintelligible syllables.
"Don't look at me with such a moved expression, old man. I'm not a woman, isn't that disgusting? I originally planned to devour your soul with my own soul and take over everything you have. Just as I was about to complete it, your sentence made me change my mind. I have lived in this world for countless years, and perhaps none of the people from my era are still alive?" Speaking of this, the stranger sounded very lonely.
"Back in my day, I was a figure of supreme authority, both in heaven and on earth. Everyone trembled before me. The women I've been with... there are countless numbers. But... I originally intended to reappear on the continent and stir up trouble again. However, after hearing your words, I've changed my mind. Going there myself holds no appeal anymore. I want to cultivate a successor, to pass on my lineage. I've chosen you!"
"You... I... uh..." Sheng Nixie didn't know what to say.
"Stop with the 'you, me.' I don't have much time left. I used almost all my soul energy earlier. You said you were willing to pay any price?" the stranger asked, his voice resonating.
Sheng Nixie regained his composure and replied respectfully, "Yes, Master!"
"...Good! Good! Good! Good! Hahaha! I truly didn't misjudge you, my good disciple. Listen carefully, this is your master's cultivation method: To cultivate the Desire Refining Divine Art, first break your mortal shell; absorb yin to supplement yang, that is secondary; occupy yang to strengthen yang, that is primary; all things in heaven and earth shall be my slaves; reach the ultimate state, and you shall be invincible. Remember... remember..." Suddenly, the entire table, along with the stack of papers, completely shattered. The entire secret chamber trembled violently, about to collapse!
"F***~~~~~~~~~~ That's not what was written on the wall at the cave entrance~~~~~~~~ Damn it, you tricked me~~~~~~~~" Sheng Nixie trembled violently, a tear silently sliding from the corner of his eye and shattering. He was so angry he cried.
"Uh, if it wasn't written like that, would you have foolishly come in and listened to me? Farewell, my good disciple..."
He vanished completely.
"F***," Sheng Nixie, with tears in his eyes, raised two middle fingers and roared as he rushed out of the secret chamber...
Finally, everyone must be very curious about what was written on the wall at the cave entrance. Well, it was written like this: "I am from the Immortal Clan, and I was ambushed by the Dark Clan. Knowing my situation is hopeless, I leave behind three chapters on cultivation, waiting for a destined person. May they achieve great success in cultivation, roam freely in the nine heavens, move stars and change constellations, control life and death, and live with ultimate freedom?!" The pure Sheng Nixie was tricked into this in order to revive Yu.
[PS: Once people have hope, they won't want to die. Sheng Nixie is no different. Enough said, everyone, please vote enthusiastically for "Evil Dragon Path" and actively comment! The earlier chapters were a bit heavy and dark, but this chapter is more lighthearted and humorous.] (To be continued)
