Hearing these words and the mysterious voice’s prediction, An Jing felt his breathing become somewhat rapid, his vision blurry, and his once steady steps falter, his lips bitten so hard they bled.
Then, he laughed.
“Ha, haha…
Is this what the Vice Envoy of Medicine wanted me to see?”
An Jing murmured to himself as he raised his head, surveying the dozens of ‘medicinal vats’.
The numbers don’t match.
Perhaps not all the eliminated become ‘medicine’, with a considerable number becoming riders and servants, but…
is there any essential difference?
“Manor Master, oh Manor Master…”
An Jing instead calmed down, “What do you think my reaction would be?”
“Indifference?
Anger?
Hatred?
Or…
fear?”
He
—So, is it that no matter where one is, they can be eaten?
—To not be eaten, does one have to consume others?
This world, this land under the heavens…
I…
Will not be as you wish!
When he opened his eyes again, the brightness had returned to An Jing’s eyes.
Within those eyes, tiny flames ignited: “I once told my mother, if evil demons purchase my life, I would seek an opportunity to escape, never to associate with them in corruption.”
“But now, I need to do more, I want it all.”
“I want to escape with my companions.”
“I don’t want to eat people, nor do I want to be eaten!
Whenever I see it, I will surely resist!”
He almost ground his teeth: “Even if it’s impossible, I will try, even if it means death.”
—Like a rabbit whose life has already been purchased, like a crab trapped in a cage, I too would kick them, pinch them!
“Very good,”
That voice, crisp and sonorous, laughing like the sound of a sword, with the taste of iron warriors: “I indeed did not misjudge you.”
“These minions of the Demon Sect think they have you in their grasp, that you cannot escape their palm, so they let you do as you will—they are mistaken, because I am here, because they have not seen through your true nature.”
“An Jing, your thinking is indeed not wrong, to want both, it’s either the most foolish of fools or a monster surpassing all logic, and although you are a true genius, you are not a monster that can surpass it all.”
“But I will give you a chance to become a monster that surpasses all logic.
However, whether you can succeed in the end, it’s all up to you.”
“Now, first suppress the demonic thoughts in your heart, I will impart to you a Thought Preservation Technique, which is the foundation of all Dharma Gates…”
Before the voice even ceased, a Verse of Instruction and the Thought Preservation Technique entered An Jing’s mind.
“The spirit is born from the way, and the way is tranquil, hence the spirit is of innate tranquility…”
“The spirit is like a mirror, if it’s dull, polish it with thought and it shall shine.
The spirit is like water, if it’s disturbed and murky, settle it with the mind and it shall become clear.
The spirit is like a sword, if it rusts, sharpen it with conviction and it will become sharp, this is what it means to be pure and lucid…”
