Wang Jixuan actually wanted to start from the ’mory source’ related to him in the Strange Stone, observing all the way down.
This would facilitate his understanding and benefit the resonance with his Dao Heart.
But unfortunately, the images presented by this stone were beyond his control and could only ’play backwards.’
The third image, unsurprisingly to Wang Jixuan, was the scene before the Three Realms Wanderer was crossing tribulation.
Many people were gathered in the grand hall.
At this mont, it was completely different from the aftermath of the tribulation failure.
Everyone was confidently bidding farewell to the Great Pioneer;
The Pioneer, who had helped the Yina Civilization out of its trough and infused it with new vitality, defeating nurous strong enemies, was naturally invincible, effortlessly conquering all challenges, surely the trial before ascending to the Advanced Plane was a trivial matter.
At this ti, the opposition within Yina Civilization had yet to erge.
—The direct cause of the uprising of the opposition was also due to the failure of the Three Realms Wanderer.
Indeed, it was one link following another.
Everyone was blessing and praying, among them were so won whose limbs weren’t overly slender, giving an overall appealing impression; quite a few people gazed at the Three Realms Wanderer with a hint of admiration in their eyes.
To describe them as incredibly charming, with a plethora of beauties, might be an exaggeration;
The won here maintained the composure and dignity of an advanced civilization.
However, the number was indeed substantial.
At least a dozen!
And these were just visitors coming to bid farewell during a certain period!
’Am I really this extravagant?’
Master Wang scratched his head.
If this were his nature, then why, now, whenever he had thoughts about won other than Lingtong, did he simultaneously feel a sense of guilt towards his own Tongtong?
Was the first life about arduous cultivation, the second about indulgence, and the third about returning to simplicity?
This conjecture seed quite reasonable.
Wang Jixuan carefully observed the ’protagonist’ in the center of the image.
Soon, Wang Jixuan concluded that the Three Realms Wanderer, at this mont preparing to face the Heavenly Tribulation a second ti, had indeed progressed compared to the diligent cultivator Wang Jixuan.
His Dao nature was harmonious, exuding an innate aura;
Embracing the world, capable of encompassing seas.
Compared to the first attempt at the Heavenly Tribulation, though the Dao Realm was the sa, the ntal state had completely transford, and Wang Jixuan could sense through the feeling transmitted by the stone the mana within the Three Realms Wanderer’s body.
Vast and boundless, truly terrifying.
It should be said, this had already surpassed Wang Jixuan’s current understanding of the Mahayana Realm.
Yet, this still ended in failure?
The shadow in Wang Jixuan’s heart deepened further.
He sighed, refrained from dwelling on it, and continued to focus intensely on resonating with this stone until the third image gradually faded away.
He sat silently for a long ti.
The stone gently rested before Wang Jixuan.
The Daoist previously held a glimr of hope, thinking perhaps that in his second life, he hadn’t perfectly prepared, making mistakes, hence failing the ninth Heavenly Tribulation.
Now, this glimr of hope was shattered.
He didn’t understand;
Wasn’t the Heavenly Tribulation supposed to be a test for a cultivator?
Why did it feel like it was not a test, but a direct attempt to claim the cultivator’s life?
Or was there so other understanding involved?
To successfully pass the Heavenly Tribulation, must one deliberately leave imperfections, allowing regrets? Must the Tao Foundation not be overly solid?
Under such pressure, Wang Jixuan couldn’t withstand it, not even with the previous ripple-free Kongming State of Mind, let alone his current easy-to-anger and irritable Demon Lord Dao Heart.
He pondered this day and night.
Though he grew thinner, he did not regret it, for his sorrow was all for Yina.
Wang Jixuan sighed softly as feelings of defeat swathed him.
Strangely, this mood seed to beco a catalyst, causing this magical stone to tremble slightly, more spiritual power flowed into Wang Jixuan’s body, the fourth and fifth scrolls appeared in succession.
And this ti, Wang Jixuan was no longer observing as an outsider.
He seed to have reclaid his mory, becoming the protagonist in the image.
The Three Realms Wanderer.
...
’Wang Jixuan’ walked through this grand hall, playing with the Strange Stone in his hand.
The long golden drapes slid down from the top of the hall, shrouding the spacious and soft bed.
A woman’s figure lay across the bed, through the shaman’s veil, revealing her slender figure now curvy and alluring, with light golden silky long hair draped over her back, her slender hand gently supporting her cheek.
She was flipping through a thick book.
’Wang Jixuan’ entered the curtain and was srized by the breathtaking body before him, setting the stone casually on the side table, slowly moving forward, placing his large hand on the woman’s waist.
Then he began speaking in the ancient civilization’s language.
"What are you reading?"
"A book about a certain civilization."
The woman spoke softly, leaning into ’Wang Jixuan’s spacious chest, quietly asking:
"How long until you leave?"
"Decades, perhaps."
’Wang Jixuan’ replied with his eyes closed:
"Actually, I am quite uneasy too. I’ve been defeated by the Heavenly Tribulation once, reorganizing and preparing for this ti, pushing everything to my utmost limits, yet I’m feeling increasingly uncertain inside.
"Just like recorded in the Yina Civilization’s classics.
"We can only look up to higher planes, unable to understand, perceive, or define them, like staring into the vast void of the universe, never receiving any response.
"Moreover, I’m worried about one issue."
"Hmm?"
The woman turned in his embrace, her alluring beauty filling Wang Jixuan’s chest.
She asked, "Are you worried that the higher-order plane you’re about to enter isn’t the world you intend to go to?"
"You are indeed the worm in my belly."
