Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2015: Chapter 2010: Zen

This is probably why Old Master Stoss still insists he encountered a mortal back then.

Watching ordinary flesh and blood become equal to himself in under three seconds, Fu Qian immediately thought of a certain Night Watchman.

With the previous narrative in mind, it is evident that his past encounter with the Jade Soul Master was similar to the current experience.

It’s not just a simple disguise; Fu Qian tends to believe that he could have easily crushed the person next to him into dust with just a slap.

It was an embodiment of power, as the opponent could exist in any ranking, and the Second Phase wasn’t even the end.

Because in this clear aura confrontation, the opponent aligned completely with him, making it indistinguishable who was superior.

Not only did they understand his true ranking, but their real ranking was even higher, allowing them to precisely gauge to such an extent.

Compared to coincidence, this is undoubtedly a more reasonable suspicion.

And such a scene is clearly enough to impact any Transcendent’s worldview.

”It seems indeed hard to judge... But what were you like at the beginning?”

This kind of self-questioning battle, deceiving oneself is undoubtedly an irrational act. Without the Jade Soul Master’s probing, Fu Qian directly acknowledged the other’s words but then asked again.

You tell me every seeking’s endpoint is just an illusion built on errors, so I must ask, what was your starting point?

Translated to human speech, it’s like asking before you became like this, what were you initially?

...

”Just like before, an ordinary person.”

The Jade Soul Master did not disappoint, readily satisfying Fu Qian’s curiosity.

”Maybe what’s special is just a penchant for overthinking, pondering questions that seem foolish, like who am I, who is me... I ultimately became ’Zen’.”

Casually plucking out an eye, holding it in hand aimed at himself, the Jade Soul Master’s face showed no pain.

Even with a curious expression, it aligned in harmony with the remaining blood hole like a universal truth.

”Day after day, year after year, I began to reach more places and witnessed more answers, realizing they were incorrect...

”I also witnessed the stupidity of ordinary people, the stupidity of Transcendents, and ultimately proved it was my own stupidity...”

Indeed, it is a cultivation stream, fairness does seem like a lie.

All roads lead to Rome might be true, but the difference in conditions is indeed too vast.

Fu Qian does not doubt the other’s words, but listening to the Jade Soul Master recount his Transcendent life, he thought of those regular Transcendent contenders working to exhaustion.

To capture a characteristic amidst a bloodied storm, searching a ritual to the brink of death, even the most reliable way is to join a large organization as a workhorse.

Yet the ”Zen” cultivation in front, sounded like his entire career was just staying at home, constantly challenging the limits of imagination.

Though practicing too much Taekwondo left a huge pit in his mind eventually, it indeed brought him to an incredible place.

Almost more irrational than the Swordsmanship Department folks, once again sensing the dimensional reduction blow from cultivation.

Perhaps only the vow route could hope to rival it slightly.

Of course, in some sense, this field relies more on talent, or some call it understanding.

Not everyone can preach, explore the ancient, pool resources, reflect a flawless worldview with a strand of divine thought, and pursue it wholeheartedly.

The chaos of this world has already been felt more than once, the ”unstable foundation” saying is honestly a bit polite.

Let alone the cultivation act like in Akons, all returning to one’s delusions.

To digest means first swallowing, and there are visibly many dirty things inside.

A common person walking this path, prone to madness faster than believing in Evil Gods.

”Indeed foolish, I can do this too.”

While praising his opponent is one thing, Fu Qian still maintains a serious debating attitude, shifting focus while pointing at his own face.

Yet the facial features smooth flowed next moment, swiftly morphing to another visage.

During certain instances, the aura subtly aligned with Melia opposite him, embodying beauty of both genders.

Accompanied by the rapid plummet in Transcendent aura.

Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine...

Efficient and determined, at a certain moment, Fu Qian had descended alive into the mundane, his face completely transforming into Nier Glia, the great Dark Moon Cult Leader.

...

In every gesture, embodying the essence of Heart Demon.

Activating Dazzling Visage, bearing that face so exquisite no one could notice the content, Fu Qian looked opposite and smiled without a word.

The distance between gods and humans is but an illusion, Transcendent rankings can be kneaded casually.

Rightly said, I can do it too.

The swindler fears disenchantment the most, let alone disenchantment twice.

Apart from reversing a transformation from god to human, even just competing by looks, Melia’s face originally ranked beyond comparison seemed dimmed.

Certainly, Professor Fu’s kindheartedness didn’t hold this ruthless state for long, quickly canceling the effect and letting Transcendent ranking shift from human back to god, conveniently disenchanting for the third time.

”Interesting, yet another inexplicable error, choosing you was indeed correct.”

Under wave after wave of impact, the Jade Soul Master finally exclaimed in awe.

Even under establishing this connection, the opponent still seemingly couldn’t see through too much, the Pontiff formidable.

At that moment, Fu Qian had nothing but praise in his mind.

Though sounds like there might be impact, it hardly affects the other’s Cultivation Heart.

For the idealist players, exploiting glitches is always a good tactic.

But truly worthy of the Zen Path master title, even facing incomprehensible things, still not easily swayed—though ultimately fluctuating, replenishing inner strength.

Fu Qian notably regained the sense of wind.

From just now till now, the efforts post opponent’s emergence had already gone to waste.

Heart Demons are truly hard to eradicate, sir still needs effort, please employ more tough acts.

”So why didn’t you choose other outsiders?”

Even to prevent the opponent from giving up, Fu Qian took the initiative to suggest.

...

”For instance, that Hunter only appearing at night? Too monotonous, just gaining beastification greed, merely hiding in such places and getting attracted to any decaying flesh for food.”

Surely didn’t disappoint, the Jade Soul Master not only responded to the call but also provided an interesting case.

Night Hunter? Wasn’t Akons’ white-faced one also a predecessor?

”Moreover, he had already lost the support of that Power of Space-Time.

”The reason you’re important is you’re still favored, by my ancient error... aspiring to alter the past to make everything right, while there is never any so-called correctness...”

Imagining meanwhile, the Jade Soul Master continued revealing incredible understanding of the warehouse, even holding up the eyeball.

”Put it on.”
