Chapter 232 - 206 Being Good to You (Added 3-in-1)
Leaving the Ghost Path behind, the group of four arrived at the Human Path.
Within the Human Path, the journey was eerily empty, as though the Buddha towers and the miniature worlds intermingled. At times, the towers would suddenly appear, only to vanish shortly after.
Chen Yi thought the whole phenomenon resembled "model clipping."
The Buddha towers they passed became increasingly bare—murals were few, even the decorative patterns grew sparse, replaced by stretches of blankness.
This seemed to embody the principles of Buddhism: the higher one ascends in understanding, the fewer disturbances they have. The fewer disturbances, the fewer new troubles arise. With fewer new troubles, disturbances diminish, until finally, they cease entirely.
After shattering the deceptive hearts of demons, Chen Yi spent the journey quietly contemplating the Killing Sword.
He had never before grasped the essence of the Killing Sword. Yet now, as he followed its path, he realized it suited him far better than the Killing Blade.
The Killing Sword: in the Mahayana, it targets the heart; in the Hinayana, it ends lives.
And Chen Yi had always excelled at piercing the heart—be it breaking Zhou Yitang’s sword in his past life, shattering Yin Weiyin’s Path to Eternity, or tormenting Yin Tingxue, coercing her, bullying her, and scattering her proud blossoms in mere moments...
It was no wonder Zhou Yitang believed he was born for the Killing Sword.
And the sword strike that cut down the Buddha statue—this gave Chen Yi insight into a new Cultivation Technique.
Just as Min Ning had once attained Wind-Shattering Rain-Cutting, Chen Yi now comprehended this unique swordsmanship.
