895 Could It Be a Scheme? (1/2)
Hai Wu Ya laughed bitterly. ”Last time in Tian Fa Forest, he was just a third level Venerable. Although it caused us to gasp with surprise, his actual strength hadn't been enough to enter our sights… But now, he already has strength equivalent to us! More shockingly, only two months or so has passed from that time to now! Everyone, do you really not understand what this means?”
He Zhi Qiu shrugged his shoulders expressionlessly. ”Even if he's more talented, he's still an enemy! At this point, although we're unwilling, we can only accept it. The more talented the genius is, the more we should get rid of him before he has equal power to us. That is the only way for the calamity to not deepen! Time, fate, life, and even the will of the heavens wishes to toy with men. We can only follow the mandate of the heavens!”
Hai Wu Ya breathed out a long sigh and turned to face Jun Mo Xie. ”Young Master Jun, with regards to the results we've arrived at today, this old man feels exceptionally regretful. From the looks of it, there's no avoiding a battle today. This old man has some words on my heart that doesn't feel good if I don't say it, so I wish to say it beforehand…”
”Please speak.” Jun Mo Xie uttered lightly. Even though they were enemies, he at least still felt a bit of respect for this old fellow.
”… In this battle, we will be trying at all costs to destroy Young Master. If we left an enemy like you alive in this world, none of us will ever have a peace of mind to eat or sleep! To the three Holy Lands, you are an existence akin to an apocalypse!”
Hai Wu Ya continued bitterly. ”To destroy a peerless genius with my own hands… a matter like burning treasured wood for fuel and cooking the crane for meat truly pains this old man's heart.”
”Likewise, likewise… Old Hai, your words are exactly what I feel as well.” Jun Mo Xie said comfortingly. ”Like Senior Hai, this Young Master will also be going all out, using every method to obtain victory. This is a battle to the death anyway, so there's already no need to mention such things. Life and death will be left to fate, and riches and honour depend upon heaven…”
Chuckling lightly, he continued. ”Old Hai is frank and forthright, filling this Young Master's heart with delight. The Holy Lands are full of despicable and shameless bastards, but there are still the rare few heroes and upright people. Although we are standing on opposing sides, this Young Master's admiration and respect will not be withheld from you. Iron blooded men with pride and passion can still be found in abundance among the Holy Lands…”
”Oh? To be able to obtain Young Master's admiration and respect, even if this old man is doomed to make a trip to the netherworld today, I still feel gratified in my heart. Only, who are the other 'rare few' whom you speak of?” Hai Wu Ya asked with interest.
”Ning Wu Qing is one, and the Wandering Venerable Mo Xiao Yao is also a respectable opponent…”
A look of reminiscence appeared on Jun Mo Xie's face as he continued. ”This Young Master cannot understand; there are countless experts of exceptional ability in the Holy Lands. Why is it that when a person steps into the Holy Lands, most of them will lose their original spirit, turning into another self who for the sake of the Holy Lands would even be willing to invert right and wrong, confusing even themselves?”
Jun Mo Xie's words carried a hint of mockery and some sarcasm. But this same sentence, actually sounded like a clap of thunder in Hai Wu Ya's heart!
Hai Wu Ya's body shook, and his expression changed greatly. He even took several steps backward in shock. This half hearted question of Jun Mo Xie's had caused him to comprehend something. For all these years, the obscure veil that had always clouded his heart was finally shattered!
The Holy Lands gathered all the experts above Spirit Xuan, allowing them to advance continuously; but when these experts arrived at the Holy Lands, they experienced the enormous disparity between themselves and the others. Their bodies, hearts, and mind… all these areas were continuously impacted!
Until all the pride and self confidence they had built up in the outside world was completely worn away, becoming mere memories of the past, or just a joke to laugh about… beginning their life anew with the Holy Land. Such methods were extremely cruel; but it had a nice name to it: nirvana rebirth, broken before success!
Like that, many people ”woke up” after the continuous setbacks, once again plunging madly into cultivation to raise their strengths. In that way, the strength of the Holy Lands rose rapidly.
But there were more people whose hearts turned cold because of the mental impacts, directly unleashing the perverseness of their most deeply hidden inner selves. These experts who were heroes of the mundane world ended up losing their self confidence, their pride, and their arrogance, turning into despicable people on the level of common ruffians and hoodlums…
Every year, regardless of at what level, there would always be such people appearing, subsequently being eliminated and relegated to the outer force of the three Holy Lands. From certain angles, such forces were simply equivalent to the three Holy Lands' cannon fodder!
Nirvana rebirth, broken before success. There was indeed a need, and the results were even very effective. Only from this way could one truly touch the realm of a true expert. One could say that this process was very necessary! And because it was like that, nobody had ever questioned it before of thousands of years…
However, this was not the only method! There were countless other gentler methods, which could also achieve the same effects.
Such a method completely destroyed the nature of a person! It was easy for a poor man to become rich. But for a rich man at the height of his success was suddenly thrown back to the lowest levels of society to climb back to the peak again… there were only a scarce few in the world who could achieve something like that!
Even without doing anything, for those people who'd just joined the Holy Lands, which one of them were not shocking geniuses of their generation? Seeing the deep cultivation of those seniors before them, as long as these people had a heart, would they not know how to work hard themselves?
But the greatest benefits of such a method, was not the so-called ”nirvana rebirth, broken before success”. Rather, it aimed to destroy all the pride, confidence, and individuality in the hearts of these people, leaving only the mark of the three Holy Lands branded in their souls! All these were based on the interests of the Holy Lands!
