"Moluo Heavenly Slaughter Technique" was reconstructed by Master Wang. Previously, this technique could absorb living souls to enhance his instantaneous power. Now, Wang Jixuan incorporates the Blood Asura Visualization Image into it to comprehend the Slaughter Path.

The Qingping Technique, on the other hand, is the most restricted Path.

Wang Jixuan studied the Qingping Technique for a long time but couldn’t break through its limits. Perhaps it’s because the creator of the Qingping Technique was a Golden Immortal of the top three grades.

Nevertheless, using the Qingping Technique as a reference, and aided by the dense Green Wood Power surrounding his body, Wang Jixuan cultivated the Qingmu Path smoothly.

Cultivation is just like this.

As one’s Dao Realm improves, gradually, complexity gives way to simplicity, approaching the Great Path.

Besides, Wang Jixuan actually has many breakthroughs in Divine Skills, Magic, Formation, and talismans, but he doesn’t bother to record these in the notebook.

This place is merely an outlet for him to vent when he can’t contain the restlessness in his heart.

Gao Huating kept flipping through the pages. The Awakening Era gradually entered its 6,000th year, and during this time, Wang Jixuan’s mindset gradually began to change.

Becoming...

More akin to the Dao, yet more sincere.

In his notebook, he wrote:

[The 6217th year of the Awakening Era. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Today, I suddenly wanted to write something, perhaps because the moment of returning to the Present World is near, causing some anxiety within me.

I must admit two things related to my second life.

In my second life, I was not really a good person... This is complex; maybe it was because my first life was filled with oppressive cultivation, causing me to indulge impulsively, taking pleasure in seduction, and hurting the hearts of many righteous women.

Later, I didn’t want to acknowledge my second life, which became the primary reason for cutting it away and cultivating anew.

Those days were indeed ridiculous.

Upon reincarnation from the second life to the third, I modified some memories, categorizing some Cultivation Techniques created in the second life as those I saw in the Scripture Pavilion during my first life.

In reality, the Scripture Pavilion in Wangxian Valley didn’t have that much Devil Skill; those were all my creations using the Yina Civilization’s supercomputing array for simulation calculations.

Moreover, the original intention of creating the Core Circuit to train Spirit Cultivators was not to ensure the continuation of the Yina Civilization’s strength after my Ascension but to produce a batch of Immortal Servants for myself.

I am not really a Great Pioneer, just a selfish cultivator.

Another matter is regarding Ye Zi.

During the eighty years I spent healing in Cloud City, I actually fully accepted the memories of my second life, being primarily responsible for Ye Zi’s madness and frenzy, as I manipulated and tamed her to escape predicament.

It wasn’t just Ye Zi.

Hei Yao’s process of finding the way to Cloud City, even him finding the first ancient relic by chance, all had the shadow of my second life behind them.

I lured Hei Yao to Cloud City just to free myself from Cloud City and gain the chance to cultivate again in my third life.

Thus, I also bear at least thirty percent of the responsibility for the Blade Beast disaster.

It was me who provided Hei Yao with these techniques in exchange for a large number of living souls.

Although I don’t want to acknowledge these, the second life is truly a part of my past; I must face, acknowledge, and find ways to rectify my wrongs.

I can sever my ties with the second life, but my conscience won’t allow it.

Is my essence Dao or Demon?

The first life was Dao, the second life was Demon, the third life is me.

That is roughly the case.]

Gao Huating chuckled lightly.

Regardless of whether Teacher is Dao or Demon, she will follow in cultivating Dao or Demon, for she is just someone idling through life.

[The 6558th year of the Awakening Era.

Recently, the frequency of breakthroughs has decreased, and the long peace urges movement; I must wander outside.

How long have I been here? Fifteen thousand years, a few hundred more years, and I should be able to leave.

Very much looking forward to the arrival of the Present World.

Wondering if the few of them are doing well, I also need to ponder how to guide Xiao Huating and the Red Snake, especially Xiao Huating; her Innate Divine Ability is immensely powerful, and she’s essentially the last stem of Yina Civilization.

Lately, I’ve been completely devoted to comprehending the Time Dao.

Or more accurately, not comprehending.

Senior Bai Gu spent millions of years completing the planning of the Time Dao, which cannot be grasped by merely hundreds or thousands of years.

Yet, I think that when I return to the Present World, what awaits me won’t be flowers and applause.

I need more fighting skills.]

[The 6829th year of the Awakening Era.

From initiation to abandonment in the Time Dao.

Drawing closer to the Present World, that feeling of being watched intensifies, probably because the Heavenly Dao is watching me.

Mu Dan stated she has created a Heavenly Dao model, performing calculations on the future development path of the Immortal Realm.

Today, after awakening from Enlightenment, I asked Mu Dan once.

Is what we are about to do right?

Mu Dan merely smiled, replying that in the world of adults, right or wrong doesn’t really matter; it’s all about interest which is eternal.

However, I still carry some psychological burden.

If we drag the beings of the Immortal Realm into our war against the Heavenly Dao, it will surely lead to rampant death and destruction.

Am I supposed to care for the lives of other beings?

I suppose I must.

My conscience, Dao Heart, and reluctance to become a Demon are what differentiate me from the Heavenly Dao.

I am a being; thus, I ought to empathize with other beings.

Subsequently, let’s see further, if the Heavenly Dao doesn’t push me to a dead end, I don’t need to initiate a large-scale war.

I need to have a serious talk with Mu Dan about her self-awareness and my complex feelings for her.

Over these years, thankfully, I have had her beside me to chat and converse.

As her Creator, if it doesn’t work out, I might just recognize her as a foster daughter, although she tends to covet my handsome features.

The Present World is just ahead; my perception is clear.]

Gao Huating flipped over to see blank sheets of paper.

The edges of the blank page had traces of two pages being torn out.

She looked up at Hei Yao, who was drinking tea. Hei Yao proactively declared: "It wasn’t me who tore it off. You should have sensed the Daoist charm on it. If the content on it was forcibly destroyed, that Daoist charm would dissipate by itself."

Gao Huating asked: "Why is this thing in your hands?"

"Can I not answer that question?"

Hei Yao chuckled awkwardly:

"It’s not a very pleasant memory.

"About twelve years ago, when I just established my foothold at the Dark Sect Headquarters, the Heavenly Dao sent me here nearby.

"The Heavenly Dao vaguely sensed his hiding place, but the portal to the small world with the Fusang Wood was concealed by the Time Dao.

"The Heavenly Dao sent over a dozen people, yet none could locate the entry or exit, so I was brought in... that’s ability."

Gao Huating: ...

Hei Yao’s smile soon stiffened as he raised a hand to rub his forehead.

"I can confirm he had already emerged. After he returned to the Present World, the barrier binding him should have vanished.

"I think that barrier was critical to prevent him from being counterattacked by the Time Dao.

"Just like how I lured you; he did it again!

"Damn it! I really hate to use that word again! But indeed, once more, he lured me out!

"I don’t even know why he was certain I was in the Immortal Realm! I brought people into that small world, saw the Fusang Wood, and several Heavenly Immortals I brought fell into a meticulously prepared trap and died instantly.

"Then, I lost consciousness.

"All my storage Magical Treasures were taken away; when I woke up, I was found lying naked on the sea’s surface, only wearing a pair of underwear... I must thank him for leaving me with at least some dignity.

"This notebook was pressed against my chest."

Gao Huating pursed her lips and frowned, then directly stored this item into her own Storage Magical Treasure.

Hei Yao wanted to say something but held back.

He wished to keep this item as a keepsake.

Gao Huating asked: "Is that all?"

"This is already quite a lot," Hei Yao said calmly, "He admitted many things in the diary, giving me an explanation. I also need to provide an explanation to the Source of Spiritual Power, besides, him not killing me and letting me bring this thing out should be a threat to the Heavenly Dao."

"Threaten the Heavenly Dao?"

"Yes, he is threatening the Heavenly Dao, meaning if he falls into desperation, Mu Dan will initiate a great battle."

Hei Yao’s eyes slightly flickered:

"I don’t know where his confidence comes from."

Thoughts of Wang Jixuan and Mu Dan’s plan flashed through Gao Huating’s mind.

Five avatars were dispatched 16,000 years ago to the edge of the universe, developing a purely Mechanical Civilization in a Star Domain out of the Heavenly Dao’s influence, forming a powerful fleet...

Gao Huating became vigilant, immediately clearing these thoughts fearing the opponent possessing a mind-reading skill.

Hei Yao looked at Gao Huating:

"Can you trust me now?

"I want to send you inside and, incidentally, bring the conditions offered by the Heavenly Dao.

"And I think ensuring you and other separated sleepers have a chance to live is the second reason he didn’t kill me but gave me this notebook."

Gao Huating bit her lip lightly.
