Chapter 86: Chapter 86 Stubbornness

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“What’s hypochondria?”

In order to find out the reason for his repeated failures, the pathetic owner could only suppress his anger, even if he was about to explode.

“The pathological manifestation of hypochondria is eccentricity and stubbornness,” Chen Yu replied.

“You will be overly concerned about yourself and overly sensitive. You will always be extremely self-centered.”

“Stubbornness and excessive self-concern are the main reasons for your illness.”

“You’ve spent nearly 30 years cultivating an extraordinary cultivation technique.”

“You gradually turned self-centered, thinking you had already surpassed the ordinary people.”

“You refused to turn into dust like anyone else after a hundred years.”

“At the same time, because of your oversensitivity, you assumed the reason for your repeated failures was because the order of your methods was wrong, not that there was a problem with the guide itself.”

“Other people would have turned around after hitting a wall, but not you. You repeatedly slammed your head against the wall until it bled, but you never once assumed the wall wouldn’t be broken.”

Chen Yu’s tone carried a hint of mockery.

“How can there be any shortcut to becoming an immortal? If this method really works, how could the owner be in their tomb?”

The pathetic owner was stunned.

“Could it be that this method really won’t work?”

“It will work.”

The pathetic owner almost staggered and fell.

“Chen Yu, are you fucking crazy?!”

The pathetic owner was really furious this time.

Was there any meaning in playing around with him?

It almost made him think all his efforts had been in vain over the years.

“I’m not crazy. You’re the one who’s crazy.”

“While it is feasible,” Chen Yu said with a faint smile. “I’m not saying that this method can really make someone become an immortal. I’m referring to the true meaning that this method represents.”

“What do you mean?”

The pathetic owner perked up again.

“First of all, this method didn’t originate from the mystic arts but from ancient witchcraft.”

“Secondly, killing a sinful person doesn’t earn you any merit.”

“The purpose of sacrificing others to the five hells is to let the sinful take away all your sins.”

“Only by having no sin on one’s body can one avoid the cycle of karma, so one could possess another person’s body to continue cultivating.”

“What? Possess another person?!”

The pathetic owner was shocked.

Chen Yu nodded and continued, “Human has its limits, and the will of heaven is difficult to overcome.”

“Through constant sacrifice and repossession, one can achieve a certain level of immortality.”

“The longer you live, the deeper your comprehension of cultivation.”

“Perhaps one day, you can truly ascend to another realm.”

“Oh, right.”

“You also missed a step,” Chen Yu said after pausing momentarily. “Whether it’s the murals or the cultivation guide, they both missed a step.”

“Which step?”

“The seventh person.”

“If you want to complete the ritual, you’ll need five sins and you, the spellcaster,”

“And the seventh person.”

“A person who bears the Sun and Moon, who will be your liberator.”

Looking at the shocked expression on the pathetic owner’s face, Chen Yu explained, “The Sun and Moon refer to someone who has two Life Providences, the Sun Providence and the Moon Providence.”

“Yin and Yang. Only then can the final step of the ritual be completed.”

The pathetic owner was enlightened.

No wonder he had tried so many times and failed each time.

It turned out that the most crucial step was missing.

Quickly, another question appeared in his mind.

According to Chen Yu, this step, or rather, this person, was extremely important.

It was directly tied to whether the entire ritual could be completed.

Since that was the case, why didn’t the person who wrote the cultivation guide and the owner of the mural record this step?

“That’s because they don’t want you to succeed at all.”

Chen Yu saw through the pathetic owner’s thoughts with a glance.

“They don’t want me to succeed?”

The pathetic owner found it hard to believe.

“This ritual is heaven-defying and evil in nature. Any cultivator with a normal heart will not believe it.”

“No normal person would try to kill others to further their cultivation.”

“Only a person with an extreme personality like you and who is self-centered enough would do such a thing that goes against the laws of nature.”

“In order to achieve your goal, you ignored the value of human lives. So, how can your ‘seniors’ be someone decent?”

Chen Yu sneered.

“You treat them as a beacon to your path, but little did you know that even if a cunning person dies, they will continue to harm others.”

“It’s a pity you didn’t know you were being played like a fool.”

The pathetic owner was an evil person. It would not be an exaggeration to say that killing him on the spot would benefit society.

But then again…

He was a pitiful worm, crawling on the ground.

With the idea of recycling waste, Chen Yu intended to use him as an experiment.

He tried stimulating the guilt in his heart so that the pathetic owner would take the initiative to surrender to the police.

Chen Yu wanted to know whether or not he could obtain merit and luck if he could get someone to realize their mistakes and repent at the end of their lives.

After learning that two dead people had scammed him, the pathetic owner’s expression was as gloomy as it could be.

“If I find someone who bears the Sun and Moon, will 1 be able to take over another person’s body?”

The pathetic owner suddenly asked.

Chen Yu nodded.

It seemed that his experiment had failed.

“Thank you so much!”

The next second, the pathetic owner’s left hand formed a sword finger again.

With the momentum of a thunderbolt, he pointed at Chen Yu.

“Hmm?”

The pathetic owner was dumbfounded as nothing happened.

Chen Yu was looking at him as if he were looking at an idiot.

“How could this be?”

Unwilling to give up, the pathetic owner pointed at Chen Yu again.

“I advise you to check your spiritual energy first.”

Hearing this, the pathetic owner immediately checked the spiritual energy in his body.

The pathetic owner fell to the ground after doing so.

A mysterious force had restrained the spiritual energy in his body!

“Senior, please spare my life!”

The pathetic owner immediately knelt and begged for mercy.

There were only Chen Yu and himself here.

So, it must have been Chen Yu who sealed his spiritual energy.

To unknowingly seal the spiritual energy in his body, Chen Yu’s cultivation must be far above his.

“Get up,” Chen Yu shook his head and said.

“Yes.”

The pathetic owner did not dare disobey and stood up carefully.

“Where did you get that Ghost King Copper Mirror?”

Chen Yu asked.

“I bought it from a fellow Daoist.”

He would be haunted by evil spirits each time he failed.

Although these spirits wouldn’t pose a threat to him, it was still extremely annoying.

After some planning, he found a fellow Daoist who was good at making artifacts.

Whenever his ritual failed, he used an artifact to suppress the evil spirits.

Also, the Imperial Palace Club was a place with excellent Feng Shui, suitable for suppressing those evil spirits.

“The former owner of the clubhouse and that thug are your men, right?”

Chen Yu asked again.

“They are all my disciples.”

“As expected, a bastard wouldn’t choose any decent disciple.”

Chen Yu extended a finger.

Spiritual energy swirled around his fingertips.

In an instant, a beam of spiritual energy shot out and entered the pathetic owner’s glabella.

Clang.

The pathetic owner’s body leaned back.

“Next, it’s time for the laws of the world to punish you.”

Chen Yu clapped his hands and turned around to leave, leaving no trace behind..
