Hidden Moth-Chapter 576 - 329: The Always Exacting Heart’s Anxiety (Part 2)

I can’t really tell you how to transcend, I can only offer you a suggestion. Even if you soon achieve perfection in the Fifth Realm and can glimpse the Breaking Gate path, don’t take that step lightly, or you might waste a lot of time.

Take Jiang Daozhen for example; it took him twenty-three years to break through to Tier Seven, initially forcing through the Vacuum. My advice is to avoid breaking through from the Illusion Realm and instead break the illusion before breaking the gate.

Don’t worry if you don’t understand now, you’ll comprehend it in time... That’s all I can say. Do you have anything else you’d like to ask?"

He Kao: "May I ask, what is your current state, and is this also part of your cultivation?"

Liu Jingze: "As I mentioned before, with my cultivation, transforming into Liu Jingze is not difficult; the real challenge is owning his state of mind, which is my true self.

So I haven’t deceived you; I am indeed Liu Jingze now. It’s neither a legendary transmigration nor a soul possession, nor is it simply an experience. It is truly possessing this identity and living this life.

Both you and I are cultivators, but cultivators are not merely cultivators, nor are they always cultivators.

Jiang Daozhen has been just an old man from the countryside for many years. No one can claim this old man from the countryside is false because that is him, only a real life experience.

I heard there’s a new talented junior, Mei Guyu, who went to work at your company?"

Liu Jingze invited He Kao for a meal at an ordinary roadside restaurant. People came and went, but no one could clearly hear what they were discussing.

Liu Jingze is the highest cultivator He Kao has ever met and likely one of the highest in the world. His words today can be seen as a summary of his insights into cultivation.

The reason he is guiding He Kao is naturally due to Karma. The higher the realm of the cultivator, the more they adhere to these principles.

Even Zhao Sanjin’s legitimate great-grandson, Zhao Ci, tried to scheme against He Kao, bringing him close to a deadly danger in the Ba Mountain Medicine Garden. Later, Zheng Yisi attempted to contact him, but after appearing, he didn’t meet his disciple-grandson Zheng Yisi directly; instead, he sent a message through He Kao.

Having He Kao deliver the message was actually to return a favor because when He Kao took his message to Zheng Yisi, it symbolized representing the Huailin Lineage’s founder. If there were any requests, as long as the Huailin Lineage could fulfill them, they surely wouldn’t refuse.

In the end, He Kao simply delivered the message earnestly in front of the Ancestral Hall without causing any trouble.

Liu Jingze had likely anticipated this, so when he saw He Kao, he left a Spiritual Guide. In certain situations, He Kao would remember him and perhaps seek him out.

Unexpectedly, He Kao came so quickly, so he decided to find something for He Kao to help with, then expressed his gratitude, which led to today’s meal.

It seemed casual, eating and chatting, but Liu Jingze’s every word was attentively listened to by He Kao. At this moment, he couldn’t help but interrupt: "Didn’t you stop inquiring about Magic Sect matters? How do you know so much?"

Liu Jingze’s tone was calm: "Your situation disturbed me. Zheng Yisi contacted me, so I had to appear at Flower Shocking Grotto Heaven, and I also passed through Phoenix Tail Town, thus learning about some circumstances.

Whether Jiang Daozhen chooses to be an unremarkable old man in the countryside or Mei Guyu chooses to be a regular employee in a big factory, none of these situations are the same as mine.

They remain Jiang Daozhen and Mei Guyu, while I have become Liu Jingze.

Actually, during our last meeting, my identity was still lacking a bit of fire. It wasn’t until today, thanks to your help, that I barely achieved a genuine state of mind.

So, as I said earlier, sometimes it simply cannot be achieved. It’s not just you; even I am no exception. After reborn and breaking through Tier Eight cultivation, how to verify the Way is what I must comprehend.

Back in the Ancestral Hall, I was fortunate to read the scriptures left by the ancestor, including Tan Ancestor’s handwriting. But in my then-realm, some things were simply not visible until after the transformation, when I sensed a sliver of the Spiritual Guide.

The Spiritual Guide technique I performed on you is realized from Tan Ancestor’s handwriting.

After Tier Eight, to cross the sea of suffering and break through Tier Nine in the future, one must transform into all living beings in the world and experience calamity firsthand. Its mystery is profound and indescribable.

Before truly entering the sea of suffering, try to understand a slice of its true essence; genuinely experiencing Liu Jingze’s life is my cultivation now. This is my wish, even if ultimately the cultivation is not successful, it is to repay the life-saving Karma from back then.

As for whether such cultivation allows me to remain Liu Jingze or aids in crossing the sea of suffering, or even if I can enter the sea of suffering at all, I dare not say, but there was a founder who succeeded before.

I wish no longer to have entanglements with the Magic Sect, nor do I wish to see Zheng Yisi anymore, which has its reasons.

Decades passed without incident, yet just a few days after becoming Liu Jingze, I was stirred by the matter of Zhao Ci, forced to visit the Flower Shocking Grotto Heaven, and then recognized as Ancestor Zhao. This is another unforeseen tribulation of humanity.

Since our last meeting, you’ve called me Liu Jingze or Classmate Liu, which is actually aiding me, showing you also have some insight..."

He Kao hurriedly replied modestly, "Not at all, Classmate Liu is overpraising me. I should be the one to thank you!"

Liu Jingze waved his hand: "No need to thank me. What I said today is merely my personal insights and may not be applicable to your cultivation. How one measures and balances among them is something only you can determine.

My suggestion for you to break the illusion before the gate is just a suggestion. If it’s not possible, don’t force it.

There has never been a definitive method to break through Tier Six throughout history. I don’t have anything specific to teach you, but there might be someone who can help, perhaps take some time to try... My mom should be off work soon, and I need to go home and do my homework."
