Chapter 837

The main reason why humans are in the weak position among all races is actually not the targeting by other races.

The biggest reason is that the Human race itself has a fatal weakness.

Greed.

Greed causes the Human race to constantly fight internally and split into countless countries, unable to unite or stand together against external enemies.

So the Human race's awakening advantage of infinite possibility has never been realized, and they have always been suppressed by other races.

Moreover, the human realm generally hits its limit at the Eighth-Turn.

The Ninth-Turn has basically never been reached by anyone.

In human history, there has only been one publicly known Level 90, a half-step Ninth-Turn great power, the Prophecy Mage Emperor!

He had a legendary skill, 【Deduce the Future】!

For this reason, countries scrambled to snatch him, but he always remained in his motherland, the Dragon Nation, and never left.

Before he died, he once prophesied that the Human race would face a catastrophic extinction within a hundred years.

Unless a genius with "Innate Spiritual Clarity" was born, they could lead and turn the tide.

Otherwise, the Human race would be completely wiped out.

That half-step Ninth-Turn Prophecy Mage Emperor also once said that the human level was sealed by some kind of power.

Humans cannot break through to the Ninth-Turn.

Unless, a person is unmoved by the temptation of power.

No longer showing off, no longer angry, and no longer having obsessions.

Not happy with material things, not sad for oneself, having cast off the shackles of "greed," and possessing a character like "Innate Spiritual Clarity," only then can a person possibly break into the Ninth-Turn.

But, if one is unmoved by power and has no motivation to move forward, how could one possibly rise and break through to the Ninth-Turn?

So for the Human race, this is simply impossible; it is a despair like a "curse."

Only a few high-realm individuals, when stuck in a bottleneck, would go back to read that person's books and messages.

So only a few Venerables and Su Ming present have heard the four words "Innate Spiritual Clarity."

Its true meaning is to be as pure as a child, completely unpursuing of benefits, and driven by one's original heart in one's actions.

Su Ming knows deeply that his character is still far from "Innate Spiritual Clarity."

In his heart, there are still joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and there is still hatred.

Moreover, he still pursues benefits.

So Gan Xiushou, this Venerable, is likely just bluffed by his sudden refusal.

If there is anyone Su Ming knows who is truly closest to "Innate Spiritual Clarity."

Then Su Ming can probably only name one person.

Shen Yixi.

Just after awakening, he was willing to put himself in danger in a dungeon to help those weak people.

He protected low-talent newcomers, killed young masters of big families, and was subsequently hunted by major forces; even now, there are still people hunting Shen Yixi.

Moreover, after Shen Yixi was assassinated by the Xuanjing Guild, he never took the initiative to seek revenge.

He is unwilling to let go of any bit of time to level up.

The only purpose of his leveling and cultivation is to reach the strongest realm and then help all the poor people, non-class-holders, and laborers in the world.

In short, this person gains power not for himself, but for the poor people of the world.

A person with such character, even the Su Ming of his past life had never seen.

In terms of broad knowledge, Su Ming's memory beats Gan Xiushou by dozens of streets.

So Su Ming's judgment is more correct.

Among those present, Shen Yixi is the one truly close to "Innate Spiritual Clarity."

However, even Shen Yixi is only close, not truly there.

After all, he still harbors a desire for power.

According to what Su Ming knows, the only creature truly fitting "Innate Spiritual Clarity" is probably that monkey recorded in the ancient books of the Dragon Nation, Sun Wukong.

Before the Sun Monkey drifted across the sea from the East Victory Divine Continent and took Bodhi as his master, he once said:

"Along the way, if others scold me, it passes by my ears; if others hit me, I am neither angry nor annoyed."

This is true Innate Spiritual Clarity.

But when the Great Sage Sun learned the 72 transformations, he began to show off his skills to his fellow disciples, and finally ran to the Dragon Palace to snatch the Sea-Stabilizing Needle; at this moment, he lost the character of Innate Spiritual Clarity.

Even a pure Innate Spiritual Monkey could not maintain Innate Spiritual Clarity amidst the various temptations of human society, so how could a mortal?

However, this story doesn't prove anything.

Because a thousand years ago, before the Awakening Day arrived, Su Ming also treated these old-fashioned mythological stories as fiction.

It can only provide Su Ming with a certain amount of inspiration.

It can even be said that in this restless era, except for Su Ming, very few people have read this ancient book.

Gan Xiushou looks at Su Ming, his eyes flashing with boundless killing intent, colder than before.

"If you truly have such character, your future achievements will be immeasurable; let alone the Seventh-Turn, even the Eighth-Turn is possible!"

"In that case, he must be killed even more!" Guo Xin mutters, cheering from the side.

"This child... must not be left alive."

Zhuo Mo also has a cold expression and no longer advises him.

"Your talent is unparalleled, yet you are so stubborn and stupid!"

"If you refuse to kneel and take me as your master, you will surely be a great threat once you grow up!"

"So, there is only a dead end; this is the path you chose yourself." Zhuo Mo shakes his head and sighs.

"If I were you, I would pretend to take a master, endure until after the Seventh-Turn, and then slaughter everyone to avenge your current friends and relatives." Zhuo Mo says coldly.

Su Ming sneers.

"Heh, if I take you as my master, I will surely be shackled by your contract; how could I possibly carry that out."

"Fine, then die!" Zhuo Mo shouts angrily.

Having said that, the three of them strike simultaneously.

In an instant, infinite brilliance blooms, and the three killing moves are all driven to strike.

Light and shadow intertwine, condensing with Saint-attribute arrow feathers to form a curtain of light, within which pitch-black evil-law sword qi crisscrosses, forming an insurmountable, monstrous surge that shifts over.

Wherever it passes, the earth, trees, and air are all shattered.

Even space shows cracks.

If it cannot be blocked, the entire Heisha army will be completely buried here!

Behind Su Ming, several Heisha Third-Turns are actually ground to nothing by the pressure from afar, their heads exploding instantly, dying on the spot.

Su Ming's gaze is solemn.

The Moon Flower Sword Array consumes a huge amount of mental energy, and during its activation, it is also eroded by black magic; now he cannot activate it continuously, otherwise he will be completely annihilated by black magic.

This time, how to resist the killing moves of the three Venerables?

Jiang Tianchi, standing beside Su Ming, has a solemn expression.

"Su Ming... you have such a sincere heart; how can I watch you die for me."

"This time, I will block it!"

Having said that, blood spills from the corner of Jiang Tianchi's mouth.
