Chapter 789: Chapter 228: County Life, Fourth Grade of Human Soul, Brand New Power

Fujiang Path, in the canyon near the Ghost Prison.

The Tree Grannies were still surrounding the old man.

"Dad, do you want to learn the Celestial Soul Array?"

"That old man said this Dharma Gate is a formation only found in myths. After it was created, it was used only once, by a set of triplets who became Celestial Souls simultaneously."

"The old man said this Celestial Soul Array exists for me, and no one else. After waiting countless years, it finally found its master, which is me."

"That’s so funny, hahahaha."

Without needing Li Yuan to say a word, the Tree Grannies were already amused.

In simple terms, the old man’s words were tempting, but she still didn’t believe it. She was very satisfied with her current life, and becoming stronger... was completely unnecessary.

Li Yuan looked at Little Cotton Pajamas and couldn’t help but laugh too. Then he thought for a moment and said, "Let’s string him along for now, tell him... not learning."

"Alrighty."

Xiaozhao happily replied.

Then after a while, she said again, "The old man is trying to persuade me again, saying this is an extremely rare opportunity in ages past. He said I would regret it if I didn’t practice."

I just replied with one word.

Dad, guess what word?

Li Yuan said, "Oh."

Xiaozhao giggled uncontrollably.

Li Yuan laughed too and said, "Have I taught you wrong?"

Xiaozhao composed herself and said seriously, "No, Dad is a good friend on my path to growth. Dad taught me many principles and how to deal with bad people.

If that old man was genuinely good to me, I wouldn’t treat him like this. But, every word he says contains the words ’use’ and ’deceit’. How can I believe him?"

Li Yuan nodded, saying, "Always keep a kind heart, but never put down the terrible weapon in your hand.

Kindness is the most beautiful quality of a person.

But if you lose your weapon, kindness becomes stupidity."

The Tree Grannies nodded thoughtfully and took notes.

Li Yuan came here also to see the situation of the Princess of Chu. Now knowing it was just a power struggle within the Chu family, he had no desire to understand further.

He stood up.

The branches dusted his clothes for him.

"Leaving, Dad?"

"Yes."

"I quite like the Sixth Lady. When she comes alone, she secretly prays for Dad.

And when she sees me, she becomes particularly devout, repeatedly saying ’Divine Crow bless my husband, bless my husband to take up the sword again soon, and find his path’."

As the Tree Grannies spoke, they all laughed uncontrollably, giggling endlessly.

On Li Yuan’s shoulder, Xiaozhao, who had turned back into a crow, was also laughing.

Li Yuan also laughed along: "Always bullying your Sixth Lady, she doesn’t know our relationship, and I... have no plans to tell her."

"Why not?" Xiaozhao asked.

Li Yuan said, "Because she’s different from your other mothers."

"Ah?"

"Besides your First and Second Mothers, the relationships between me and the others, even your Aunt Yao, all began with interests. So, I can be honest with them about many things, and they can accept it.

But your Sixth Lady is different, she..."

Li Yuan suddenly choked on his words, unsure of how to continue.

His smile faded because he suddenly realized... this wasn’t funny at all.

Xie Yu liked him not because of what he had, but simply... because of who he was.

Is this love?

It’s really maddening.

The more Li Yuan was with Xie Yu, the more he realized this, so once he awakened to it, he didn’t know what to do.

Xiaozhao didn’t press further, just said, "I understand, Dad, I won’t tell the Sixth Lady."

Li Yuan nodded, then stood up and said, "When the time is right, if that old man still insists on teaching you the Celestial Soul Array, then learn it. Learn it first and see."

With that, he turned to leave.

As he left, he began to contemplate his own power.

The new Source Blood is within the human body, there’s no doubt about it.

All the blood became heavy, and like a heart, it could throb violently at any time. All this power intertwined, forming a ’Domain’.

"Domain Power."

Li Yuan slightly raised his hands, and the dust and snow along the way floated and stilled according to his will.

Then with a casual wave, they went away.

Li Yuan pondered.

"So, the system of Human Soul Cultivation is not really about the Source Blood, but the Talisman Seed.

In essence, it’s not about power, but belief.

As long as you have a strong enough belief and implement it, then with the abundant Power of Yin Yang, you can change yourself and enter a stronger domain.

But everyone on this continent has been cultivating others’ Dharma Gates and comprehending others’ beliefs from the beginning, further losing their original hearts.

The path of belief seems to have many similar thoughts, but actually... the slightest difference can lead to a huge discrepancy, and there’s no exact same belief.

So, they sink deeper, making change difficult.

But I am the opposite. I provide the Dharma Gate, harvesting others’ beliefs, and ultimately, through practice and implementation, unify those beliefs within me.

Then these beliefs reshape my body, making the Source Blood within operate according to rules again."

"Source Blood can go, faith remains; this is the Path of the Human Soul."

"Belief is the most precious thing for a human strongman."

"Perseverance and self-improvement, man can conquer nature... these words in this Otherworld, surprisingly, are the true essence of the Human Soul Cultivation."
