Chapter 1014: Zhuge Gui's Path

Walking in the void, the True Realm is not enough.

Zhuge Gui still clearly understands this: Tianwai differs from this place; Tianwai's strong ones in the void can unleash their full power, unlike those who descend here, whose power is suppressed upon entering this world.

The stronger one is, the greater the pressure they face; for example, Condensing Pellet cultivators are not suppressed much, whereas True Realm cultivators face terrifying pressure; True Person Realm cultivators are suppressed about three tenths of their power, and True Destiny Realm cultivators an additional one tenth, i. e., four tenths suppressed.

Going higher, the suppression gradually increases; of course, there are also exceptions, such as certain spiritual artifacts and secret arts that can avoid part of the sensation, thereby deceiving heaven and earth, allowing one's power to be exerted more fully.

Of course, once one takes action and is exposed, heaven and earth will naturally suppress them.

This is merely this world's peculiarity, leading some to think that Tianwai's strong ones are not very strong; but once they leave, they naturally realize how powerful and terrifying Tianwai's strong ones are.

The Myriad Poison Demon King is the most obvious example: he did nothing, was swallowed, and could not even resist.

Zhuge Gui cannot be as heaven-defying as Chen Chuyang; if it were Chen Chuyang, there would be no problem—those people could neither suppress nor kill him, and Chen Chuyang does not go out directly but instead hides in this world.

It is obvious that Chen Chuyang has his own plan.

"In the void, Tianwai's strong ones can act without restraint; the enemies they face are not one but many."

"Even if I were given another hundred years to cultivate, I might not be able to pass through the void and enter the Tianwai world."

"I intend to take that passage; I have prepared in advance, and I will leave next month."

The time is set, he is also ready, and with one month left, his strength can increase a bit.

By then, he will naturally have confidence facing Tianwai's enemies; ideally, he can go to a good place to hide and cultivate for a few years.

"Your idea is good, I fully support you." Chen Chuyang laughed: "Your cultivation is still not strong enough; even if you reach Tianwai, you can only protect yourself; the best way is to hide and cultivate, wait until you adapt to Tianwai, then slowly go out and familiarize yourself with Tianwai."

"Remember, do not repeat what the Yin Gui Sect used to do; it's better to be cautious, avoid acting if possible, and try not to act."

"Tianwai is vast and also dangerous."

Zhuge Gui nodded: "I know."

He has always known Tianwai's greatness and danger; the Yin Gui Sect's interior has some introductions; within the Heavenly Ghost Origin he has fused, there are also some fragments, those belonging to the Heavenly Ghost, and after his soul condenses, he can see some fragments.

Regarding Tianwai, he still has some understanding.

"Chen Chuyang, brother-in-law, I entrust my younger sister to you."

Zhuge Gui grasped Chen Chuyang's hand and nodded firmly.

"No problem, Ruolan is my wife; I will naturally take good care of her—you need not worry."

"Good, with those words I am relieved."

Zhuge Gui has been waiting for these words; what he cannot let go of is his younger sister, Zhuge Ruolan.

Following Chen Chuyang, his younger sister will indeed not encounter danger.

What he worries about is merely those women around Chen Chuyang bullying his younger sister; it seems he overthought it.

From now on, he can be completely at ease, no longer needing to worry about his younger sister, with no further concerns.

"This way I can also set off in peace, without worrying about my younger sister."

Zhuge Ruolan said: "Elder brother, you need not worry about me; I am very safe staying in the Yin Gui Sect."

"Go do your business; when my strength is sufficient, I will come to trace your whereabouts."

Zhuge Gui nodded: "Good, I will wait for you in Tianwai."

That will be a long time from now; Zhuge Gui does not want his younger sister to go to Tianwai too early.

He pulled Chen Chuyang aside; there are some words unsuitable for his younger sister to hear.

After distancing his younger sister, Zhuge Gui began to say: "Brother-in-law, Ruolan had better stay by your side; in the future, even if you go to Tianwai, she should go with you—do not let her go to Tianwai alone, nor let her come find me."

"Why?" Chen Chuyang asked, feigning ignorance.

Zhuge Gui explained: "You know my situation; I fear that after reaching Tianwai I will lose control of myself and completely turn into a fierce ghost, at which point I may not even recognize Ruolan."

"I fear I will harm her, so I hope you can agree to my request."

His physical condition is dire; Chen Chuyang cannot intervene.

He must control it himself; the Heavenly Ghost Origin is not easy to master.

If he cannot control it, he will instead be controlled by the Heavenly Ghost Origin.

This is his battle against the Heavenly Ghost Origin, and also his own struggle; when he overcomes himself, he can fully command himself and the Heavenly Ghost Origin, at which point he becomes a true Heavenly Ghost, and also a true Ghost of Heaven and Earth.

This step he must take; otherwise he cannot break through the Ghost King level and advance further.

This is a risky approach, and it is also his only choice.

"No problem." Chen Chuyang said lightly: "Do you need help? I can strip away your Heavenly Ghost Origin, returning you to your original state."

Zhuge Gui laughed: "No need; since it has merged into my body, it is mine—what is in my hand, how could I spit it out?"

"I, Zhuge Gui, must fight to the end until the day I control everything, after which I will naturally come to find you."

He will not let them discover him; Zhuge Gui knows how dangerous this path is, and naturally does not want his younger sister to come looking for him.

This time he is making a request, and also an entreaty.

His condition is dire; Chen Chuyang nodded: "As long as you have an idea, the path of cultivation only moves forward, never backward."

"I hope you can soon gain full control and return to your true self."

"Hahaha."

Zhuge Gui laughed loudly to the heavens; he naturally hopes for this.

Everything depends on fate.

"I hope so; I believe I can succeed, will not fail, brother-in-law—I will definitely return."

Zhuge Gui said resolutely, full of confidence in himself.

Along this path he has died many times, yet remains unchanged.

Since heaven lets him keep living, he will continue to resist.

This is his path of cultivation, and also his way of cultivation.

"Good, I will wait for your return."

Chen Chuyang laughed and said, "I hope that when the time comes, you'll be able to make me look at you with new eyes."

"Definitely." Zhuge Gui said firmly, "Ruolan is entrusted to you."

"I will take good care of her; you don't need to worry, just focus on your own affairs." Chen Chuyang promised.

Zhuge Gui smiled, having received Chen Chuyang's promise, he could relax.

Others might have doubts, but only Chen Chuyang is completely trusted.

This person's promise will surely be fulfilled.
