Breaking Discernment, Thought Gives Birth to Yingling

In the Final Thought Annihilation Void Sea, the Tower of No Birth and No Destruction slowly trembled. The countless blue light spots after the collapse of the fourth trial had not yet completely dissipated when a more ancient and vast roar suddenly came from the depths of the tower, as if the laws that had been sleeping for billions of years were gradually awakening.

Xiao Yue floated silently in the void, her long, gradually changing star-blue hair fluttering in the wind, and the crescent-shaped silver ornament on her forehead radiating a soft glow. In her palm, the newly recognized Wheel of Annihilation Return to the Ruins and the Wheel of Karmic End was slowly turning, with nine broken threads of cause and effect floating around the rim, releasing a chilling aura of the end.

Just then, the fifth level of the Tower of No Birth and No Destruction suddenly opened—boom! The world abruptly reversed, the sea vanished, the void disappeared, the wheel vanished, and the tower itself disappeared. The world before Xiao Yue's eyes instantly transformed into an endless, silvery-white space, and at the same time, an aged and hollow voice slowly echoed, "Fifth Level Trial." "Stop Thoughts." "Realm of Non-Discernment." "Open—"

A thunderous roar suddenly erupted, and Xiao Yue's mind was jolted. In an instant, a massive amount of information surged into her consciousness like a raging torrent. This was no ordinary memory; it was the profound mystery of heaven and earth that even billions of living beings could never touch in their entire lives.

She witnessed the creation of the primordial chaos, the birth of the universe, the formation of causal structures, the evolution of fundamental logic, the creation of supreme techniques by countless powerful beings, the construction of billions of Fate Soul, and countless profound mysteries of the Great Dao. Even fragments of the deepest origin of the Source of Epochless began to appear.

Countless answers, countless puzzles, countless deductions, countless choices all surged forth simultaneously, causing her entire sea of consciousness to boil instantly, right before her eyes. The first illusion appeared. An ancient temple slowly rose, with an Origin Crystal Core floating in the center of the temple, and a voice rang out.

"This crystal core will grant you instant control of the Final Silence Sea." "Take it?" Before Xiao Yue could speak, the second illusion descended, revealing a Qin Yu covered in wounds, blood trickling from his lips, his Fate Soul on the verge of collapse. "If you can deduce a way to break it," he can live. "If you cannot break it," he will perish.

The third illusion descended, manifesting countless future Blue Ring. Some of these futures saw the Blue Ring become supreme beings, while others saw them utterly Annihilation. Billions of possible outcomes unfolded simultaneously. The fourth illusion, the fifth illusion, the sixth illusion... In just a few breaths, the entire space was completely filled with countless choices.

Every choice requires thought, every answer requires judgment, and every future requires deduction. If it were an ordinary cultivator, they would have gone mad by now. They would instinctively search for the correct answer, the way to break the deadlock, and the optimal outcome. However, this is precisely the most terrifying aspect of the fifth level.

This test has nothing to do with innate wisdom, but rather with letting go of scheming; nothing to do with deduction, but rather with severing calculations; nothing to do with breaking the deadlock, but rather with maintaining one's original, Space Silence mind even when trapped in delusion. And Xiao Yue finally understands now that this level is more difficult than the fourth level. The fourth level is about life and death, while the fifth level is about thought itself.

Since their birth, living beings have been Timelessness thinking, seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, analyzing advantages and disadvantages, Sever Future. This is an instinct etched deep into their Fate Soul. And at this moment, the Realm of Non-Discernment is attempting to tear apart this instinct.

Boom—another torrent rushed into her sea of consciousness, countless profound mysteries of the Great Dao began to evolve automatically, and countless answers surfaced wildly. Xiao Yue felt a faint stinging sensation throughout her sea of consciousness, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and a slight daze even appeared in her blue eyes, because she discovered that the more she tried to stop thinking, the more she thought. The more she tried to make the thoughts disappear, the more thoughts appeared, and at this very moment...

Suddenly, the entire Realm of Non-Discernment began to change. In the depths of the distant void, an enormous silver-white Dharma image slowly emerged. The Dharma image had no face or features, only a pair of enormous eyes that covered the heavens and the earth. Around those eyes, countless divination runes were rotating, and countless future scenes were constantly appearing.

It silently watched Xiao Yue, as if waiting for her to make a choice, to think, to deduce, and to fall into the true trap of the fifth level. Xiao Yue stood quietly in place, her long, gradually changing star-blue hair swaying gently, Wheel of Karmic End in her palm slowly rotating.

In the fifth level of the Final Thought Annihilation Void Sea, within the Realm of Non-Discernment, the silver-white world suddenly trembled violently. Countless Great Dao mysteries, profound mysteries of cultivation techniques, life and death deductions, and future branches that originally filled the heavens and earth began to collapse simultaneously, as if something even more terrifying was slowly awakening from the end of all thoughts.

Xiao Yue stood silently suspended in the center of the void, her long blue hair dancing in the storm of countless thoughts. She could feel her sea of consciousness undergoing an unprecedented impact, and at that very moment, the end of heaven and earth suddenly cracked open. Boom—an indescribably huge eye slowly opened.

Immediately afterwards, a second, a third, and billions of silver-white giant eyes appeared simultaneously between heaven and earth. Each eye reflected a future: the future of Xiao Yue ruling the Final Silence Sea, the future of Xiao Yue falling into the endless void, and the future of Qin Yu ascending to the peak.

In a future where Qin Yu is completely erased, billions of futures simultaneously fill the heavens and earth, and at the center of all these futures, a magnificent figure slowly manifests. It is a silver-white dharma image that is hundreds of millions of feet tall, with countless galaxies of thought floating above its head, its body composed of billions of deduced runes, and a constantly rotating core of the Thought Sea on its chest.

With each rotation, countless new futures are born. Behind it, countless future worlds unfold slowly like a scroll, with billions of lives, billions of destinies, and billions of possibilities all rising and falling behind it. This is the fifth level of the Ultimate inner demon.

--The Dharma Manifestation of Myriad Thoughts didn't speak, but countless voices simultaneously appeared deep within Xiao Yue's consciousness. "Blue Ring." "Deducing the Future." "Searching for Answers." "Unraveling Everything." "Taking Control of All."

Boom! Billions of futures rushed towards Xiao Yue at the same time, and countless torrents of thoughts flooded into her sea of consciousness. At this moment, she seemed to experience billions of lives, billions of endings, and billions of successes and failures simultaneously. Yet, amidst this almost unbearable impact...

Xiao Yue closed her eyes and concentrated, Severed Observation, thought, deduction, and quest. She suddenly understood that the fifth trial was not about finding answers, but about letting go of the desire to find answers. Buzz—At this moment, the Blue Ring deep within her sea of consciousness suddenly vibrated, and a deep blue radiance that had never appeared before slowly emerged.

It is not subject to cause and effect, nor to the rules of heaven and earth; it is an ancient power from the source of time, the origin of the void, the true origin of the deepest part of the Blue Ring. Countless blue starlight rose from her body, and rings of blue light slowly emerged, causing all future scenes in the world to rapidly dim.

The myriad worlds behind the Dharma Manifestation of Myriad Thoughts gradually collapsed, because Xiao Yue no longer responded to any future, no longer accepted any choices. She simply stood there quietly, like an eternally unmoving blue moon, while deep within the Blue Ring, an even more vast aura began to slowly awaken: Blue Ring - Super Style One: Consciousness Termination - Annihilation of All Things.

The rudimentary form of this supernatural power finally began to emerge. It did not sever the physical body, nor did it destroy the Fate Soul. Instead, it ended "consciousness," "thoughts," and "thinking" at their very source. It ended all phenomena born from consciousness. When this wisp of origin appeared, the Dharma Manifestation of Myriad Thoughts trembled for the first time.

Because it discovered that the very foundation upon which it depended for its existence was being covered by some far more ancient force. Boom—the heavens and earth trembled violently. Billions of futures shattered simultaneously, countless deduction runes exploded, and the colossal body of the Dharma Manifestation of Myriad Thoughts Form began to disintegrate continuously.

A crack appeared in the core of its Thought Sea in its chest, and then the crack rapidly spread, eventually covering its entire body. Boom—accompanied by a deafening roar that shook the heavens and earth, the Dharma Manifestation of Myriad Thoughts completely shattered. The fifth level of the trial was passed. At the same time as it shattered, countless blue light spots gathered from between heaven and earth.

Slowly coalescing into a figure, it was a girl exactly like Xiao Yue, with the same star-blue long hair, the same sapphire eyes, the same crescent-shaped silver ornaments, and the same star-studded long dress, only her body was more ethereal, as if formed from pure light.

When she opened her eyes, she gave Xiao Yue a slight bow. "Yingling." "Greetings, Your Majesty." Xiao Yue was slightly taken aback, blinked, and then smiled happily. "Eh? Could it be that there was such a reward on the fifth floor?" Yingling nodded gently and stood beside her, as if they were born with a mutual understanding.

At that very moment, the sixth level of the Tower of No Birth and No Destruction slowly opened—the world changed once more, everything around began to fade rapidly, the starlight disappeared, the sea disappeared, the tower's shadow disappeared, and even Xiao Yue's own body began to blur. An ancient and aged voice slowly echoed through the heavens and earth.

"Sixth Trial." "Ceasing the Thought of Existence." "Realm of No Self." "Activate--" The next moment, countless blue lights swept in from the ends of the earth. Xiao Yue suddenly realized that her memories of her identity were fading, her understanding of the Blue Ring was becoming blurred, and everything about the past was slowly dissipating.

Even more terrifying, she even began to have a thought, "Who am I...?" "Why do I exist...?" "Why do I cultivate...?" "Why did I come here..." At the same time, Yingling beside her slowly raised her head and stepped into that boundless and Space Silence world with her.
