Chapter 1352: Detachment
Han Li's brows furrowed slightly at his current predicament, but he immediately closed his eyes to calm himself.
Moments later, his eyes sprang open again as he murmured to himself, "One's body is nothing more than a bunch of individual parts assembled by the threads of fate. It bears no true significance or cause for attachment."
The surrounding scene cumbled once again, returning him to the black space, but before he had a chance to rest, a new illusion appeared.
The illusions came one after another, with every single one presenting a stern trial.
Thanks to his immense willpower and the insights that he had recently gleaned, he was able to sever one attachment after another, and even though his mental fortitude was being bolstered with each trial that he overcame, he had also become exhausted to the extreme, to the point that his vision was beginning to blur around the edges.
After vanquishing one more illusion, Han Li found himself back in the black space, and at this point, he was so exhausted that he was on the verge of falling unconscious.
Right at this moment, the self corpse soul's voice suddenly rang out.
"There are countless attachments that one develops over the course of a lifetime. Your attachments arise from your heart, so as long as your heart is not at peace, there will be no end to the attachments that you must sever. In your current state, there's no way you can overcome this hurdle."
Han Li swayed unsteadily upon hearing this, and a dazed look appeared in his eyes.
"Just give up. Why continue to toil and suffer? Sometimes, giving up is the wise choice. Daoist Hu Yan gave up his path of cultivation to live in seclusion, and he's now able to enjoy life to the fullest, so why don't you do the same?"
The self corpse soul's voice had become very gentle and alluring, and Han Li's eyes began to gradually drift out of focus. His consciousness slowly began to fade away, and he was on the verge of falling into a deep sleep.
