Chapter 5: Relevant Settings

  The division of Xiu Zhen levels:

  First layer: Entering the Acquired (the most basic of Xiūzhēn, helping people develop their potential and bringing ordinary people into Xiūzhēn!)

  Second layer: Soul Condensation (Why is there a huge difference in abilities between ordinary people and cultivators? The main reason is the difference in the degree of soul condensation! The soul is where the greatest energy of a person lies, the soul of an ordinary person is scattered and weak; while the soul of a cultivator is condensed and robust!)

  Third layer: Purification (When the energy is condensed and cultivated to a certain extent, it can no longer continue. At this time, purification is needed! That is, remove impurities and retain the most refined ones for further cultivation. The degree of internal purification also determines the key to future achievements. The higher the purity, the greater the potential for development!)

  Fourth layer: Enlightenment (after the first three layers of cultivation, ones own potential has been fully tapped, that is to say, no matter how much further cultivation is done, at most it can only make you a top secular master; and in the great road of desire, each sects cultivation method is the same for the first three layers, the real key lies in the fourth layer [enlightenment], actually only when you cultivate to this step do you truly glimpse the essence of cultivation, because no matter how talented you are, you are still just a person, and in the vast universe, you are not even as good as a grain of sand; only by connecting yourself with the universe and controlling it with your own body can you live as long as heaven and earth! Since each sects enlightenment method is different, this also leads to differences in later development. Of course, there are also those who go against this, that is, instead of communicating with heaven and earth, they say: "I am heaven, I am earth!" We call this: cultivating demonic powers!)

  Fifth layer: Yuan Ying (only when you reach this level can you be considered a true cultivator, and it is also a necessary condition for flying ascension in the future! For cultivators, the physical body is just a stinky skin bag later on. If the physical body is destroyed, it can be recreated, but if the Yuan Ying is destroyed, its irreparable! Because to fly up, you must have infinite energy, and the more energy you have, the greater the heavenly power you can control. Its like a stone, the bigger it is, the bigger the splash of water it can create; but the physical body cannot withstand so much energy, so wrap your soul in energy and use energy to create a body. Later on, the physical body is just a container, and the more condensed the energy is, the smaller the volume is. Therefore, the smaller the Yuan Ying is, the higher the cultivation! As for those who cultivate demons, its about infinitely expanding their physical bodies to achieve the goal of "heaven and earth, only I am supreme". This will not be discussed further here!

  The sixth layer: No self (people are always entangled in endless emotions, which is contrary to the Tao. When you have infinite energy, if you are entangled by emotions, the final result is [going crazy]! In short, if the previous layers were about cultivating energy, this layer is about cultivating the soul!)

  Seventh level: Mahayana (a cultivator who possesses infinite energy, communicates with heaven and earth, and is free from worldly thoughts and troubles has reached the realm of Mahayana. They are waiting for the moment of Nirvana rebirth!)

  Eighth layer: Nirvana (this layer is the gate of life and death, if successful, reborn from the ashes, if failed, forever annihilated! Many people choose to practice [Bian Jie] and cultivate [Jin Xian] at this time!)

  Ninth floor: Ascension (Congratulations, congratulations, nothing else to say, scatter cards!)

  Note: Each layer requires a tribulation to ascend, and the later ones are even more powerful. The power of the tribulations grows geometrically; its essential to note that the [Nirvana] layer is just an entrance exam - those who pass directly ascend to [Flying Ascension], while those who fail are eliminated. The power of the [Nirvana] heavenly tribulation is directly proportional to the cultivators cultivation level, meaning the higher the cultivation level, the more terrifying the tribulation will be. However, if the cultivation level is insufficient, its even more hopeless - a paradox! As for cultivating [Golden Immortal], there are four levels: Golden Immortal, Great Golden Immortal, Great Luo Golden Immortal, and Perfect Immortal. A tribulation occurs every thousand years, with each one becoming increasingly terrifying. If one becomes a Perfect Immortal, they will be on the same level as heaven and earth. However, so far, theres only been one person who has allegedly achieved this... [Sighs, even Zhu Bajie fabricated his own cultivation levels]

  Please go ahead and provide the text youd like me to translate. Ill return the translation in English.

  Sheng Niexies classmate jumped off a cliff, no kidding, he really did - what is this thing called love in the world? Tsk tsk tsk, isnt this more infatuated than Yang Guo? Without saying another word, he just jumped.

  Thats right, you guessed it, he didnt die, come on, how could anyone die from jumping off a cliff in this day and age?

  The undead student of the Reverse Evil naturally discovered that there was a cave entrance at the bottom of the cliff, leading directly underground.

  So he went in like countless others.

  。。。。。。

  This is a locked room, an absolute locked room!

  There is a book on the table, or perhaps it should be called: a stack of paper.

  A dimly lit corridor, the grey walls had only a few sparse and dying oil lamps that seemed to be whispering faintly (who is Kongkong? Why dont you go practice "Kui Hua"?).

  "Thud! Thud! Thud!" The low and distant footsteps slid in.

  Very quiet, so quiet that the echo of footsteps is lingering in this passage without any impurities.

  "Bang!"

  "Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"

  "Ah!? Where is it? ......Oh! ~Its on my hand!" (Sweat...)

  "Ka ka! Kua kua~~~" Xiang Ni E walked in slowly but excitedly (his whole body was trembling, wasnt he excited? What? He ******?......ORZ), and stopped in front of the table. A dazzling silver light flashed through Xiang Ni Es eyes, and the aura emanating from him made people feel hopeless.

  (Some careful children want to ask: Isnt that a secret room? Or what kind of dog P absolute sense of a secret room. How can it be so easily invaded by the evil?)

  The author replied: Because of the inverted evil [key]!

  "My goodness! Whos throwing bricks?"

  A faint, hazy yellow light emanated from the stack of papers, softly yet firmly enveloping the entire desk.

  "Ah~~~~~~" Sheng Ni Xie withdrew his hand, which had been severely burned, and the air was filled with the savory aroma of roasted meat. "Heh!" Sheng Ni Xie chuckled to himself as he gazed at his hand, the entire palm of which had been cooked through and was now peeling off. A gentle stream of energy enveloped his hand, and after three breaths, it had fully recovered!

  What? Left hand or right hand? Do you like left hand or right hand? I personally am more used to right hand......

  "Hmph! It seems that not using magic is really the only way, damn it. Which idiot came up with such a despicable spell?" Inverse Evil muttered to himself.

  "Ah~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ah~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~en en hum~~~~~~~OMG~~~~~~~*ME!" The ascended evil had already turned purple with rage as he crazily cursed the generations of women of that unknown person in his heart.

  Just as Sheng Ni Xie was engaging in an unhealthy mental exercise, a golden light suddenly burst forth out of thin air and enveloped him entirely. Before he could even react, an irresistible force akin to an unstoppable arrow shot through his body, extracting all the energy from within. Sheng Ni Xie was horrified to discover that even his soul seemed on the verge of escaping.

  However, Sheng Ni Xie could only endure the feeling of being torn apart like a little girl who was raped by a strong man, silently bearing the pain. Suddenly, Sheng Ni Xie had a strange and absurd idea: "Actually, being raped is also a very pleasurable thing, isnt it? You can let go and enjoy it, you can shout out loud. But now, not only is there no pleasure, but you cant even shout! What kind of thing is this?"

  "Ahh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Im not willing to give up ah~~~~~~~~~~~~ Im still a pure virgin ah~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Heavenly Father, if you give me another chance, Ill conquer all the women!" As he shouted this, the silver light in his evil eyes suddenly shot out several feet.

  But everything is still going on...

  At the moment when Sheng Ni Xie was thoroughly desperate and his soul was about to be extracted, it stopped, the ruthless oppression stopped, just as if nothing had happened. A warm and gentle stream of heat flowed through Sheng Ni Xies entire body, which had already fallen into a deep coma - in the face of this incredibly powerful force, the unknown golden and silver lights within Sheng Ni Xies body could only be quietly extinguished!

  "Ahhhhh~~~~~~~" A wail like a mournful sigh floated out of Yang Xiangs mouth.

  A "燕子翻身", Sheng Ni Xie quickly flipped over from the ground and was ready to leave this haunted place quickly; Sheng Ni Xie now only thought about how to run out, and didnt notice that his body not only wasnt destroyed, but instead strengthened a lot, especially his soul.

  At the moment when Sheng Ni Xie was about to muster his strength and make a breakthrough, an inexplicable force pinned him firmly in place. Sheng Ni Xie was terrified to discover that he couldnt mobilize even a thread of power - wasnt he supposed to be ready to die? Why was he afraid of death again? Ah, theres a reason for this, please keep reading!

  "Who? Whos messing with me? Come out if youve got the guts! Harming people in secret, what kind of crappy skill is that? If youre carrying a blade, lets have a 1,000-round showdown!"

  “......”

  "Scared? If youre scared, then let me go! I can be magnanimous and wont hold it against you!"

  “......”

  “……—%—……*（—……—￥……%￥……%—……%*—%*—（*（*……*—%……*”

  “......”

  No matter how vicious the language was used to curse, there was no echo at all. The silver light in Sheng Nies eyes grew stronger and stronger, and the more he scolded, the more energetic he became.

  Three days have passed.

  The evil spirit was pinned down for three days, and it also scolded for three days. Due to extreme emptiness and panic, he did not find that his power and soul were growing at a terrifying speed during these three days.

  By the fifth day, Sheng Ni Xie had also stopped scolding him. He finally discovered the changes within his body. Sheng Ni Xie vaguely grasped a thread of understanding and was now wholeheartedly focused on quiet meditation, sensing the inexplicable turmoil within his body. The silver light in his eyes grew stronger, and the lower part of his body was raised high, with an even more dazzling radiance.

  The Seventh Day!

  Just as the evil was thoroughly enjoying the unparalleled thrill brought by the increase in power, a faint voice cut through the entire secret room like thunder.

  "Little punk! Why dont you keep scolding?" A voice that seemed to have just shot 10 times and was extremely exhausted.

  A sudden convulsion shook his entire body, as if his soul had been greatly strengthened. The turbulent waves in his mind quickly subsided, and he asked in a low voice: "Are you finally willing to come out?"

  "Heh heh!" The voice cackled with a strange laugh.

  "Whats so funny?" Sheng Ni Xie asked with a mixture of annoyance and guilt.

  "Are you afraid of me?"

  "What did you say? Im afraid of you? Dont be ridiculous!"

  "Oh? Is it?"

  A powerful and overbearing aura surged forward, if he could move, Yang Chen would have run away long ago, but now he had no choice but to resist desperately.

  "What do you want to do? Are you here to torment me? Oh! No! Youre not, if so, why would you help me? Maybe its because youve been holding back for too long and wanted someone to talk to? Hmm?" The evil and embarrassed yet rational voice asked.

  "Oh!?" The tone of voice seemed very interested, "Why did you say I helped you? En!?"

  "Its pressing down on the treasure!" Sheng Ni Xie thought to himself, thinking that this inexplicable thing didnt have any malicious intent towards him and might even be helping him. As he spoke, his words became much calmer and more composed.

  "Firstly, within these six or seven days, my strength and soul have been mysteriously growing at an incredible speed."

  “......”

  "Secondly, apart from me, you are the only thing that has appeared here!"

  "I am human, not a thing!" The voice sounded somewhat irritated.

  Sheng Ni Xie wanted to laugh at the strangers excuse, but he didnt want to provoke him, so Sheng Ni Xie continued: "Based on the above two points, I have come to the conclusion that someone is secretly helping me, and that person is you! Although I dont know what your motive is, I can be sure that you wont harm me!"

  “......”

  Silence, silence.

  "Haha! Not bad, youre a clever person, but theres one thing you said thats not entirely right!"

  "What point?"

  "I will hurt you, I originally intended to!"

  "So... why?"

  "Because of one sentence you said, I changed my original intention."

  "What sentence?"

  "It was you who shouted that sentence Ah~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Im not willing to give up~~~~~~~~~~~~Im still a pure virgin~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Heavenly Father, if I had another chance, I would sleep with all the women!"

  Sheng Ni Xie had a kind of dizziness and wanted to faint, with great difficulty, he moved his lips: "....."

  "Dont ask me, I can tell you the reason! First, let me ask you, why did you come here? Is it for something in that stack of papers?"

  "Of course!" Sheng Ni Xie spoke bluntly and without reserve.

  "Why?"

  "For Rain, Ill make her reborn!" The face of Sheng Ni Xie was distorted and twisted.

  "Alright, very powerful, if doing so would require an unimaginable price, would you still be willing?"

  "Of course, why not?"

  "Heh heh!" The voice laughed very loudly.

  "Whats so funny? Is it really that amusing?" Gradually, the evil spirit began to not be afraid of this stranger.

  "No! Then I can help you make your wish come true."

  "Thats enough, those sheets of paper will do."

  "Im afraid to tell you that its just a stack of white paper, its purpose is only to trap me, it cant bring back the rain for you." The stranger looked somewhat pleased.

  Shōjaaku froze, his entire body plopped down onto the ground. Actually, from the moment the strangers voice rang out, Shōjaaku could have moved already, he just hadnt noticed yet.

  "Heh heh! Dont lose hope, I said I can make your wish come true..." The stranger had already started to gloat a bit.

  "I agree, whatever the conditions are!" Before the stranger could finish speaking, Sheng Ni Xie stood up firmly, with a shocking and thrilling light flashing in his eyes.

  "Good!" Perhaps feeling the powerful aura of Sheng Ni Xie, the stranger also became serious.

  "First of all, I want to tell you that: Ive already helped you become a top-notch master in the Wú Wǒ Hòu Qī stage. If it werent for your insufficient mental cultivation, you would have been a top-tier master in the Dà Chéng Qī stage by now. Dont look at me with such skeptical eyes, this is real. I used all my spiritual energy to help you reach this point and also helped you withstand the Wú Wǒ Liàng Jié. Otherwise, do you think I would be as weak as I am now?"

  The so-called "Wú Wǒ Liǎo Jié" refers to the name of the kalpas that Yuányīng needs to cross to reach Wú Wǒ.

  The evil spirit rose up, stiff and wooden like a chicken, only its mouth remaining there, moving unconsciously and making some unclear sounds.

  "Dont look at me with such a moved expression, Im not a woman, how disgusting! Originally, I was going to devour your soul and take over everything of yours, just when I was about to complete it, your words made me change my mind. Ive lived in this world for countless years, and the people who were contemporaries with me probably havent left anyone behind?" The stranger looked very desolate as he said this.

  "In my heyday, I was a figure revered by all, who wouldnt tremble with fear at the sight of me? The number of women Ive had is no less than 3 million, or maybe even 2 million. But... originally, I wanted to make a comeback on the mainland and stir up another storm, but after hearing your words, I changed my mind. Going back myself would be meaningless now; I need to cultivate a successor, I want my school of thought to continue. And so, Ive chosen you!"

  "You... me... that..." The evil spirit had no idea what to say anymore.

  "Farewell, I have little time left, the journey ahead has consumed almost all of my souls energy. You said you were willing to pay any price?" The stranger asked aloud.

  Sheng Ni Xie also recovered his composure and replied respectfully: "Yes, Master!"

  "......Great! Great! Great! Haha! I knew you were the right person, good disciple, listen carefully, here is your masters cultivation method: To cultivate divine power, first break through the physical body; absorbing yin to supplement yang is secondary; occupying yang to strengthen yang is primary; all things in heaven and earth are my slaves; when reaching the ultimate realm, do not be arrogant. Remember...remember......" Suddenly, the entire table along with the stack of paper was completely pulverized, the whole secret chamber was violently shaking, on the verge of collapse!

  "Im CAO~~~~~~~~~~ Thats not what it says on the wall of your cave~~~~~~~~ Youre cheating me~~~~~~~~" Jiang Yuyans body was shaking violently, a tear silently rolled down from the corner of his eye, shattered - he was crying in anger.

  "Hmm, dont write like that or youll foolishly come in, listen to me? Farewell, good disciple..."

  Completely disappeared.

  "CAO" rose up in reverse, with tears welling up and two middle fingers standing upright, and rushed out of the secret room...

  Finally, everyone must be very curious about what was written on the wall of the cave entrance. Well, it was written like this: "I am a member of the immortal tribe, unfortunately suffered from the dark tribes sneak attack, knowing that there is no hope to ascend to heaven, specially left behind three chapters of cultivation, waiting for someone with fate, he will cultivate to greatness tomorrow, roam freely in the nine heavens, move stars and change destiny, control life and death, how free and easy it is?!"

  The pure rise of evil for revival rain was deceived.

  【PS: Once a person has hope, they will not be willing to die. The same goes for the villain. No more nonsense, everyone enthusiastically vote for "Evil Dragon Way" and enthusiastically comment——The previous chapters were heavier and darker, this chapter is lighter and more humorous. 】
