Please pay 1288 yuan to continue viewing…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re a fucking scammer!!” Zhang Fan slammed his mouse and shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last refund of 888 yuan hasn’t even been processed yet—this thousand-year-old demon has no other tricks, just one scam he keeps reusing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan calmed himself, scrolled the post all the way to the bottom, where only one line remained…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great cultivators never flaunt their spiritual powers before mortals…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thousand-year-old demon shifted tone and wrote in the post: “A cultivator who clings to the mystery of techniques and spiritual powers falls into demonic paths; the conscious spirit stirs restlessly, and the great darkness of non-illumination looms before you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remember! Remember! Remember!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great darkness of non-illumination… great darkness of non-illumination…” Zhang Fan pondered deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clinging to the mystery of techniques, pursuing great power—this is itself an attachment…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as there is attachment, the conscious spirit will never extinguish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as cultivators seek immortality and crave pure yang—so long as such thoughts persist, the conscious spirit can never return to stillness, and that state can never be reached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if one has no such thoughts, what is there to cultivate, what Dao to refine?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This seems a contradiction, a paradox, an eternal, irreconcilable demonic obstacle!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thousand-year-old demon… how much money did he scam from you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a mocking laugh came from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan spun around sharply and saw Bai Buran standing behind him, staring at the computer screen—how long he had been watching, no one knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, I… do you know this guy too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Back in the day, when he was most active online, I followed him…” Bai Buran’s eyes flickered with displeasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You got scammed by him too?” Zhang Fan couldn’t help asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Joking? I just watched others get scammed…” Bai Buran changed tone, speaking coolly: “But what he said isn’t all nonsense…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The conscious spirit stirs restlessly, the great darkness of non-illumination—this is the cultivator’s tribulation, an ever-present tribulation…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, Bai Buran no longer appeared his usual lazy self; his deep eyes now held solemn gravity. Even those who had attained the position of Daoist Master risked restless conscious spirits—if the seven emotions ran wild and the six desires became demons, even supreme cultivation could be lost in a single moment, and the great darkness of non-illumination loomed before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even Daoist Masters suffer tribulations?” Zhang Fan blurted out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the nine ranks, Daoist Master is the highest; beyond it lies the path of pure yang without limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such beings are rare as phoenix feathers across all Daoist sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even such cultivation can regress, can encounter the great darkness of non-illumination!? “I have seen it…” Bai Buran said gravely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Daoist Master!?” Zhang Fan said instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Daoist Master… actually, from the very beginning of his cultivation, he had planted a hidden flaw—a seed, imperceptible, until someone exploited it…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That was probably his only attachment, and yet…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And then what happened?” Zhang Fan pressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great darkness of non-illumination—body perished, Dao extinguished!” Bai Buran’s gaze darkened, uttering eight words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dead!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So… don’t think that seeing your Yuan Shen and entering cultivation means you’re safe forever…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Buran fixed Zhang Fan with a solemn warning: “The cultivator’s tribulation is always present, unless one day you attain the path of pure yang without limit…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise, tribulation may haunt you your entire life…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Especially those with extraordinary talent, rapid cultivation, smooth progress—they advance too fast; as their Dao deepens, when their conscious spirit stirs, their tribulation becomes stronger than ordinary cultivators’…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At that point, the great darkness of non-illumination looms before you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Bai Buran pointed at the computer screen and said gravely: “Remember! Remember!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I remember.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan nodded; he felt Bai Buran was a decent boss—easy work, and he learned plenty about Daoist cultivation knowledge and experience here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Working under such a boss was truly ancestral fortune shining bright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wen He, deduct two hundred yuan from him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Bai Buran’s voice pulled Zhang Fan back to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“W-why?” Zhang Fan froze, then exclaimed urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Slacking off at work, browsing posts… isn’t that worth a deduction?” Bai Buran pointed at Zhang Fan’s computer screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Bai Buran picked up his insulated cup and walked toward his office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Evil capitalist,” Zhang Fan spat, watching Bai Buran’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re back…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a long-awaited voice came from the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Welcome home!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen He’s warm voice responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan turned instinctively—he had heard Wen He say two colleagues who went out shopping would return today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment he turned, the first thing he saw was a girl with shoulder-length hair, fair skin, and an ethereal aura…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fan Fan, come here, let me introduce you—this is…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Lai!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan stood up, staring dumbfounded at this long-lost friend!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1217,"2026-06-19T21:05:40.312Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","77d88d73b4a4ba634420e10a0afcd59cb04b63f6cdf7f6e867347e074003f81b","pure-yang-chapter-35","pure-yang-chapter-33",520,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpure-yang-cover.jpg"]
