Chapter 1130: Xinran Zhanglao's Promotion
"I often think about this problem, because I will soon step into the True Lord Realm, so I need to think ahead; otherwise, I fear I will fall into confusion and hesitation." Xinran Zhanglao said to himself.
"Is Three Lives United reliable? Is it something those families and sects deliberately spread? So that we would do it? And then they themselves don't do it?"
"I've never heard of it before; maybe it's a problem of our world, we can't access this secret."
"Even if such a secret exists, it should be a secret of the major sects, impossible to leak out; yet the Huang Family also knows it—don't you think there's something fishy about this?"
Xinran Zhanglao greatly suspected this was a trap, a trap to lure people.
Especially these loose cultivators and some small families—they harm them, frame them, then push them onto this path; by the time they are completely sure, it's already too late.
Chen Chuyang frowned: "What you say is not without reason; according to your speculation, if it is a conspiracy, then those spreading the conspiracy or the sect behind it have huge ambitions; if they really succeed, wouldn't that be?"
"But this situation is not an individual case, nor is it problematic; if there were a problem, why do so many people cultivate this way, and yet some still break through to the Dao Realm because of it?"
"Many people from families are not fools; if there were a problem, they should be able to detect it, yet they haven't, and they keep cultivating this way—doesn't that mean they're overthinking?"
Heishanyang shook his head and said: "I don't know either; I'm just saying what I know, and for other things I don't know, naturally I won't speak more."
"Other people, I don't know; Chen Chuyang, you little brat, you don't need to worry about this—you don't need to take this step at all, because you already don't need these."
"Whether it's Three Lives United or other theories, they have nothing to do with you; the path you, little brat, are walking is different from theirs."
"For others, you need to walk it to know."
Heishanyang looked at Qinglong Daoren; he's already walking it, perhaps we can test it a bit.
Qinglong Daoren said speechlessly: "I say, can you guys stop trying to trap me? By my reckoning, I'm not even human—I'm an Azure Dragon Clan member with Azure Dragon bloodline, practicing the Azure Dragon Clan's cultivation method; human Three Lives United seems unrelated to me."
He spread his hands, showing a helpless expression.
Then, everyone's gaze focused on Xinran Zhanglao; here, it seems only she needs to.
Xinran Zhanglao took a deep breath: "That's why I'm worried about this problem; you know my situation, it's very hard for me to do."
"If I don't figure this out, how dare I break through?"
"Chen Chuyang, tell me what I should do; I'll do whatever you say."
Chen Chuyang fell silent; he didn't know, couldn't give concrete advice.
"Let me think."
Chen Chuyang pressed his hands, sat down, and began to deduce.
In his mind, he sorted out all the circumstances regarding Three Lives United, then began to study.
Xinran Zhanglao and the others saw this scene; they didn't move or speak, but tacitly waited aside.
Qinglong Daoren looked at Xinran Zhanglao and proposed: "Actually, you can give it a try; if it really doesn't work, just cut it all off—your Heart Sword Dao can cut everything; Three Lives United is just a minor thing, cut it and it's done."
Heishanyang followed up: "Yeah, Xinran Zhanglao, you can indeed try it; test it for them, see if this path is viable; if it is, you'll be a pioneer, and later cultivators from your world will remember your kindness."
Xinran Zhanglao gave the person and the goat a white-eye look; they really want to trap me to death.
"It's not them who will die; they definitely won't care."
"Why don't you two try it? You could do it too, yet you want me to do it—clearly it's a trap."
Qinglong Daoren shook his head: "Whether it's a trap, you have to go in once to know; neither you nor I can explain it, we can only try it personally; only after practice can we be certain."
"Xinran Zhanglao, this isn't trapping you; it's letting you walk onto a broad, smooth road."
"We're doing this all for your benefit."
Heishanyang smiled: "What the little Azure Dragon said is fine; Xinran little girl, you can indeed go try it."
One person and one goat insist on dragging someone into a pit to die; Xinran Zhanglao doesn't believe their words, and since Chen Chuyang stays silent, she won't do it.
Xinran Zhanglao fell silent, not answering them, nor wanting to continue chatting, for fear of being persuaded by them; if she really did that, wouldn't she be doomed?
One must stay rational, stay calm, not get carried away.
Qinglong Daoren and Heishanyang exchanged a glance, no longer discussing this topic, but choosing to wait.
This wait lasted another ten days.
After ten days, Chen Chuyang opened his eyes, his tightly knotted brows relaxed; Xinran Zhanglao was the most anxious, her cultivation could no longer be suppressed—she was about to break through.
"Chen Chuyang, how is it?"
She walked up to Chen Chuyang's face, seemingly forgetting her previous shyness and blush, also forgetting their kiss.
In Xinran Zhanglao's heart, there was only one thought: can the Three Lives United path be walked?
Chen Chuyang stood up and said: "This path is viable, just as you worried; Three Lives United will increase one's connection to this world; once done, there's no returning to our world."
"Moreover, Three Lives United will earn the favor of heaven and earth, making the future cultivation path much smoother; this heaven and earth will bless and pamper you—but."
"But what?" Xinran Zhanglao anxiously asked.
"If heaven and earth encounter problems, you must act; if heaven and earth are like our world, you will also weaken along with it."
"In short, when heaven and earth grow strong, you grow strong with them; when heaven and earth weaken, you weaken as well."
"There's still the most important issue: heaven and earth may not necessarily favor you; in this world, there are countless cultivators of Three Lives United, too many for heaven and earth to pamper all."
"Those who do not practice Three Lives United will certainly not receive heaven and earth's favor."
"In short, Three Lives United does not guarantee heaven and earth's favor and pampering, but those who do not practice Three Lives United definitely lack it."
"This path can be walked; it's not as safe as going straight on one's own."
"Of course, the speed will increase greatly, and in the future you'll also be able to see it."
"Then what should I do?" Xinran Zhanglao stared straight at Chen Chuyang, she only wanted to know an answer.
"See how you choose?" Chen Chuyang said: "Both paths are possible; one is a bit harder, the other is relatively easier."
"Three Lives United is relatively easier, while the other path's difficulty increases greatly—indeed, many people can't even reach the Dao Realm."
Xinran Zhanglao nodded: "I know how to choose now."
Having said that, she sat down and began to break through.
