Chapter 78
78 Ego Eternal Path of Power
Cain was shocked to hear those words. The Sacred Organs were the most incredible gift humankind possessed and were what made them rise above beasts and other lower life forms. The Essence Evolution Core and the Astral Rebirth Heart allowed a simple mortal to rise to a level where they could unleash the same power as a weapon of mass destruction.
Access to a third Sacred Organ could only be considered a divine lucky chance, especially if it could achieve synergy with the other two.
Cain focused and made sure to engrave every word of Zarak in his mind.
“Before I tell you about the third Sacred Organ, I would like to know your understanding of willpower and its importance in cultivation.” Zarak’s voice was calm, but there was solemnity in it, making it clear just how important that question was.
Cain did not answer immediately and took a moment to review all the information he had gained up to this point. Only after five minutes did he speak.
“Willpower is related to our mental fortitude and born of the hardship and tribulations a man experiences through his life. It can improve our ability to endure spiritual and mental attacks. And from a certain point of view, it is necessary to endure the long and solitary journey through cultivation.”
Cain’s words made sense and were what most cultivators believe regarding willpower. A practical force for defense against mental attacks and which would make the cultivation path easier.
“WRONG!” Zarak shouted with so much strength that it almost burst Cain’s eardrums.
Cain felt his surroundings tremble, and Zarak’s power again shocked him. There was no Wave fluctuation, yet those sound waves almost made him pass out.
.....
“Your answer is extremely flawed. If willpower only helped us defend against mental attacks and persevere through our cultivation journey, why would we waste so many resources to create the Pillar of Mind?” Zarak took a deep breath as he raised his right hand, and the next second, a massive sphere of Astral Wave emerged on top of it.
