855 Probing The Secrets Of The Seven Star Lake (1/2)

This person died with a puzzled look on his face.

What crime have I committed?

After I die, why would I even care about everything else? Isn't that a man's most basic drive?

”Kill and you dirty your own hands — there are no words that ring truer than this,” Yun Yang stretched out his hands in disgust. The air condensed, producing a torrent of water that poured downwards.

Yun Yang washed his hands, still unable to simmer down. ”Why are there even people like this in this world? How in the world could such people exist?”

Whatever that happens after you die has nothing to do with you. Since your death is the only point, you might as well go ahead and die now!

Yun Yang paused for a moment as if he was stunned. He turned to Ji Lingxi, somewhat shocked. ”Lingxi, can you recall the condition of the abilities displayed by those people earlier?”

Ji Lingxi was momentarily dumbfounded by Yun Yang's sudden question. ”I only noticed that they've already attained Dao realm in terms of their cultivation. I didn't really notice their individual conditions. Their abilities are generally extremely high, but that's perfectly logical. If they're not innately gifted in the first place, how could they even reach the level of Dao realm?”

Yun Yang shook his head and replied in a soft tone. ”Why, of course! Both our strengths have already surpassed the level of Dao realm, but as we've not really worked on the path towards the next, higher level, our strength is still classified as the level of Dao realm. That man earlier… my attack had succeeded all too easily. However, at the moment of contact, I could tell that his power was barely at the tip of heaven realm — his strength was clearly still not the level of the Dao realm!

Ji Lingxi expressed surprise. ”Are you saying that his cultivation base is only at the tip of heaven realm? His aura is clearly the level of Dao realm!”

Yun Yang pondered in silence for a while. ”In my opinion, this bunch of people is too obsessed in improving themselves, and in the midst of it all, they've completely lost sight of everything else, be it their nation and family, or their mental state and experience. They've even lost sight of the true strength they wield!”

Ji Lingxi somewhat at a loss for words. Yun Yang had to be exaggerating — how could this be possible?

”The most important aspect in a practitioner's journey of practice is the state of his physical being. However, if his mental state, strength, and experience are unable to keep up, his overall power will decline sharply. With their extraordinary talent, the benefits of this extraordinary location, and the large improvement in their cultivation base, this bunch of people completely neglected the actual condition of their bodies… to say that Dao realm practitioners like them have the nerves to do so is truly too much to ask for!” Yun Yang stated calmly.

It was about midnight now. The sky was sprinkled with stars, seemingly making the sky stretch even deeper into the night. That aside, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

At this very moment, the vicinity of the Seven Star Lake had already regained its original peacefulness. Although the scenery was not like before, the surroundings were buzzing with the chirping and humming of insects, portraying promising signs of life and vitality. The desolate sight during the day was no longer visible.

Ruffled by a gentle breeze, Ji Lingxi's long and smooth hair brushed against Yun Yang's face. It was ticklish, yet soothing.

”How long is your hair?” Yun Yang was about to say.

Instead, he suddenly had the feeling that the stars in the sky had seemingly started to blink. Churning his thoughts in his mind, he yelped suddenly, taken aback, and directed his gaze upwards.

Countless stars in the sky were really blinking, throbbing and pulsing in the night. It was not only the sky that suddenly seemed full of stars —even the moonlight seemed to glow even brighter.

This went on for a short while. Soon, the lustrous moonlight gradually came into focus. Like a glow stick made of moonlight, a ray of light descended from the skies.
