Chapter 387 The Life of Humans
As soon as Daniel was left alone, he sloalked towards the old man Golden Cauldron, and his son, the Silver Alchest them who knew Daniel the most, but from the way he had acted, he wasn't sure whether Daniel was actually back to his fored when he was able to recognize Daniel's smile the moment he approached them
”Where the hell have you been?” the Silver Alchemist suddenly blurted out
”I will tell you everything Just not here Let's try to get through this event without anybody else trying to kill us” Said Daniel after reaching the two, and standing next to thein with
Back in the inner island, Nilo and the others had proceeded through a second path which had opened after the death of the Deadly Hysteria Sione on in complete silence, but to its unco The type of feeling people would experience when going in the ring with a person they were sure to lose to
Their nuain, and this time, it was not due to elimination, but due to a definitive and irreparable death
”If you are going to keep those long faces through the entire coht as well forfeit at the next chance you get” Said Cynna, who had spent the past few roup of cultivators, and had decided to break the uncoht not care about it, but soers to us Try to have a bit of respect” Said Dehlila when reroup, and had perished when facing the oceanic warriors
This response was enough to stop Cynna in her path, and with an expression of disbelief, she responded by saying, ”Do you even understand where we are?”
”What do you mean?” Responded Dehlila Her words had been clear, and yet they seemed to have shocked Cynna beyond belief, and she could not understand why
”Cynna Stop” Said Finn, who knew exactly what Cynna was talking about, but did not wish to be pitiless on a group of grieving cultivators
”Let her speak They need to hear this” said the usually quiet Zack
”You live the lives of humans You allow money and reputation to open doors for you, but when that 'skill' ceases to be useful, you find yourself unable to react This is a cultivation world Death coht Wake up Use your cultivation to keep death out of the door Find a way to deal with loss when your survival is not at stake, because as soon as the finances of your coo south, you won't have the time to cry for your own death”
Cynna's words were harsh, but necessary to correct a mentality which, for a cultivator who at some point would have to rely on his oer to survive, was deadly
Emotions were not different for cultivators, but the way they differed from humans, was in as at stake Short and peaceful lives had been exchanged for power, and a longer lifespan The price that they had paid, was peace As cultivators they would constantly have to coht, and even kill Any action that moved a cultivator a step closer to the death that they had so desperately tried to delay, was poisonous, and they knew it
The layer of safety that resources and protection had created for these young cultivators had becoain
The following minutes went by similarly to the previous one, as after Cynna's speech, the reone back to coone to waste Had someone with a mental cultivation been there, they would have been able to see the changes that these cultivators were starting, or at the very least trying to roup found itself in front of a crossroad
In front of them were three paths The first one was a stone path that led to a sate to their left, behind which the path continued hidden by the thick trees The second one was a ly unstable steps that lead up the rock wall that was to their right, and finally, the third path consisted in a cave that lead into the depts aforementioned rocky wall
In the n, on which ritten the words ”One talks, one flies, one crawls”
The n was clear Each path contained a different kind of being, and the participants had to choose which one to face
”If we have to pick one, the best choice would be to pick the one who talks We ht breaks out, on't be in an odd environ their three choices
”What if they are in great numbers? I would rather face the predictable attacks of ten insects, than to face just as many warriors whose abilities I am not fa to her response, Lorwing shook his head in disagreement, then said, ”There are overn ar us Or at least not twice in a row We aren't even sure our test will be a physical one, we o to the left path”
As the two discussed their nexttheir own conversation
”Alright We will split this way then” Said Finn after finally agreeing to Nilo's plan, which consisted of splitting into two different groups that would take the two least traveled paths
