Chapter 888: Chapter 83: Carefree on the Great Dao, the One Condemned by Heaven (Part 3)
“So, do you all understand now?”
Xiao Jie thought, sure I understand, but what’s the use? It just feels like a bunch of seemingly philosophical theories, can learning this really lead to immortality? How can it? It makes no sense at all.
In Xiao Jie’s opinion, teaching immortality should naturally involve techniques for cultivating qi, or at least spells or sothing like that. What’s the point of teaching a bunch of philosophical theories?
Did I really exchange my Heavenly Punishnt Oath for this junk?
Luckily, a system prompt appeared on the screen, bringing so balance to Xiao Jie’s heart.
System prompt: Through Wang Xie’s teaching, you successfully comprehended the Unnad Taoist Scripture—Earth Dao Chapter. Your comprehension is permanently increased by 3 points, and you have acquired an additional talent [Earthly Righteousness Heavenly Scripture].
[Earthly Righteousness Heavenly Scripture (Special): When you kill a player, you don’t gain Sin Value. When you attack an NPC, your reputation value doesn’t decrease. In plot events, no matter your choice, you won’t lose rit Points.
Acquired additional skill: Oh Heaven, I’m not wrong. After use, it removes one Heavenly Punishnt state (cooldown: 365 days).]
Huh? Eh? What the heck!
Xiao Jie looked at the newly acquired talent and was instantly dumbfounded.
Is this really an Ascension Item? It doesn’t feel like it at all.
Even though the talent is indeed strong, it doesn’t ntion achieving immortality at all.
And why is the effect of this talent so outrageous? Killing people without a red na, doing bad things without losing rit, and even——immunity to heavenly punishnt?
His heart suddenly stirred, immunity to heavenly punishnt? How coincidental! I just swore the Heavenly Punishnt Oath and now acquired the ability to be immune to heavenly punishnt…
Wait a minute, could it be that all of this was really planned by the main entity, and this thing was prepared specifically for ?
But this also relieved him.
Since he could be immune to heavenly punishnt, he didn’t have to worry about killing Wang Xie anymore.
But if this was indeed arranged by the main entity—it showed that the main entity was indeed sinister, blatantly encouraging to get rid of Wang Xie. Perhaps in the eyes of the main entity, Wang Xie was just a tool for passing down the Taoist Scripture.
His existence’s aning was to pass the Taoist Scripture on to ——and to Chen Tianwen.
Xiao Jie casually ntioned sothing during a previous exchange with Wang Xie and found it unexpectedly accurate now.
Mysteriously, it seed as if everything was predestined.
Xiao Jie was shocked by this speculation, realizing that although he acted according to his inner thoughts and made free choices, he now felt manipulated and controlled by soone.
It was as if he had beco a puppet, then what did all his past actions an?
What did his revenge, pursuit of immortality, and countless arduous battles amount to?
For a mont, his mind was slightly unstable, and he suddenly understood why Wang Xie wanted to break free from the control of his main entity. This feeling indeed was quite unpleasant.
“So, have you all realized the truth?” Wang Xie asked again.
“I understand,” Chen Tianwen replied with a tone of hesitation, obviously having acquired the corresponding talent but also doubting his judgnt just like Xiao Jie.
Is this Unnad Taoist Scripture really an Ascension Item?
Xiao Jie thought to first deal with this guy and then laughed, “I also understand, this Great Way is just like now, where you say you want to exchange the Earth Dao Chapter for your freedom, and I agree with you.
If I were bound by worldly morals of right and wrong, I would certainly be in a dilemma now, having to release you but potentially harboring great trouble later. The true n, state governors, and heroes across the Nine States would also be furious.
But if I don’t release you, then I’ve violated my oath and tornted myself for being a person who goes back on my word, facing inner condemnation for life.
I was taught from a young age to be trustworthy, forming a fixation, unable to change even if I shouldn’t be like this.
But now that I’ve seen through the truth and let go of my inner troubles, forming my own reason, falsehoods like good and evil no longer exist, only what benefits myself does.
I can completely do this—first pretend to agree with your words, deceive your Great Way, then kill you and tell others you were a bad person trying to seduce with the Demon Scripture. But I was immune to your deceit, not learning your scripture, nor passing on your way.
This way, I gain everyone’s admiration and the true essence of the Great Way? Maybe I’ll even obtain so equipnt from you.
Moreover, I believe I’m killing an evil person and seeking the Great Way, without sha in self-consciousness. I won’t be constrained by false moral constraints, and I suffer no internal loss, isn’t that wonderful?”
“Haha, well-said for soone so young, just like—no, no, my Great Way is not like this! A true man must keep his promise, can’t go back on his word,” Wang Xie hurriedly denied.
Xiao Jie laughed heartily, “Thanks to the true man for teaching the Great Way, the true man need not be afraid. Though you may die, your Great Way will remain unhard. Everyone—get him.”
“Wait…” Wang Xie attempted to struggle.
Swish, swish, swish, everyone slashed down their swords, instantly cutting Wang Xie into a heap of flesh.
As soon as Wang Xie’s body fell, a new blood-red system prompt popped up in front of Xiao Jie.
[System Prompt: Warning! You violated the Heavenly Punishnt Oath and triggered a Heavenly Punishnt. The Heavenly Tribulation will strike within 24 hours, please prepare accordingly.
Note: The type of heavenly tribulation will automatically generate based on your map environnt.]
A cloud of dark energy instantly enveloped Xiao Jie’s head, giving off an extre ominous feeling, even Xiao Jie’s character avatar turned an eerie shade of dark blue.
A DEBUFF appeared above Xiao Jie’s head.
[Person of Heavenly Punishnt: You have been struck by heavenly punishnt, a heavenly tribulation will soon descend.]
What the heck, it really triggered!
Xiao Jie was both shocked and afraid.
He realized he liked scheming too much, thinking he could exploit a loophole in the system to leech a mission reward.
Yet he miscalculated, but how does this system determine its rules? I even left the team.
Fortunately, the Earth Dao Chapter granted him a chance to be immune to heavenly punishnt.
This further solidified Xiao Jie’s internal speculation that everything was indeed planned within that main entity’s sche.
Others also noticed the DEBUFF above Xiao Jie’s head.
They imdiately exclaid.
“Oh my god, Brother Feng, you got hit by heavenly punishnt, what should we do, what should we do?”
“Quickly find a cave to hide, I feel like this heavenly punishnt is coming from the sky, going into a cave might evade it.”
“Into a cave my foot, log off quickly.”
“Find a Demon Exorcism Master to see if it can be dispelled.”
Everyone began suggesting wildly.
Xiao Jie did not hesitate; the heavenly tribulation introduction ntioned it would strike within 24 hours, who knew if it wouldn’t co down the next second, he didn’t want to test his luck.
Quickly, he activated the talent’s additional skill.
His character suddenly let out a long wail to the sky, “Oh Heaven, I really didn’t do anything wrong, why punish ?”
With this shout, a flash of white light erupted from his body, and the black aura instantly dissipated, along with the heavenly punishnt DEBUFF from above.
The heavenly punishnt ca quickly and faded just as swiftly, all within less than a minute.
Everyone was astounded.
“What’s this skill you have, Brother Feng?”
Only Chen Tianwen wasn’t surprised; after all, he had the sa talent skill.
Xiao Jie offered no explanation, “Stop talking nonsense, quickly distribute the equipnt, and then——” Xiao Jie turned his gaze towards the back at the sky curtain, where the five true n, nurous players, and Long Wushang’s battle had not yet reached a conclusion.
It seed it would take so more ti.
If they acted quickly, they might still be able to get involved for a round, at least helping Hao Mie complete the Dragon Slayer profession quest.
