Chapter 181: Chapter 46: The Great Path is Worry-Free (Two-in-One Chapter)

At that remark, the Evil Man’s face suddenly changed.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, let me think."

Master Mingyue wasn’t in a hurry to take action, leisurely watching the Evil Man as a moment of silence fell over the dungeon.

Xiao Jie found this interesting. Could it be that this Evil Man was really an avatar? No, that can’t be right, even if he were the original body, he shouldn’t be able to die just like that.

It seemed the Evil Man was pondering the severity of the situation, but after thinking it over, he burst out laughing, "No, I surely can’t be an avatar. If you kill me, you won’t understand any of my meticulous plans. Isn’t the reason you’ve kept me until today to clear up these matters?"

Master Mingyue said indifferently, "If you’re not an avatar, then what was the purpose of all those things you did outside? You should know that at least."

"Naturally, it was to spread the great Dao."

"If you know the Dao so well, why not achieve it yourself instead of teaching others?"

"Right, why don’t I achieve the great Dao myself?" The Evil Man seemed to suddenly grasp the crux of the matter, falling back into deep thought, "Why don’t I achieve the great Dao myself? Why?"

He seemed to be questioning aloud as much as he was questioning himself.

Listening to this, Xiao Jie believed it quite a bit. This guy was probably an avatar. If he were the original body, how could he possibly not know his own plans? This type of memory loss must be due to the avatar; it looks like this Evil Man was just a somewhat more advanced external avatar after all.

However, Master Mingyue spoke calmly, "Because you are just an avatar, your thought process is incomplete. Just as those avatars you split off don’t have true complete consciousness, it can be said you’re not a real person. You’re carrying out a certain task given to you by your creator, so you only know what to do but not why you should do it."

"Don’t you want to become a real, living person? An independent entity, I have a way to make you whole, as long as you cooperate with me."

Master Mingyue’s persuasion was quite enticing indeed; even Xiao Jie thought that if he were in the Evil Man’s position, he would likely be tempted to agree.

The Evil Man snorted coldly, "Hmph, and what can you do?"

"He indeed has a way." A voice suddenly rose from among the Taoists brought by Master Mingyue, a voice that was oddly familiar and sounded very similar to the Evil Man.

The Evil Man asked in surprise, "Who’s talking?"

"How is it, you don’t recognize me, Evil Man? Or perhaps I should address you as—the original?"

One of the Taoists stepped forward, lifting the bamboo hat from his head, revealing a familiar face: a skinny face with an ’eight’-shaped beard, it was unmistakably the Evil Man—or rather, his avatar.

Only this person’s name wasn’t Mad Taoist or Foolish Taoist, but—Feng Yilang (Taoist of Xuanxu Palace), Level 12, Life Value 300.

"You—how did you become like this?"

"I have attained enlightenment. Although I am your avatar, I gradually developed my own consciousness. I’ve thought about it a lot. Why should I act mad every day? Why should I peddle secret books everywhere and let people treat me like a lunatic, mocking and beating me?

There must be more meaningful things I could be doing with my life. Right then, my master found me, taught me many principles of life, and imparted to me many exquisite Daoist Skills.

I gradually broke free from my past constraints, and those crazy thoughts slowly faded away. Now, I am back to normal, no longer your avatar, but a real person, an independent individual!"

"Evil Man, why be so stubbornly deluded? Why not follow the righteous path like I did, just as I have."

Xiao Jie was astonished by his words. Damn, an avatar can actually develop its own consciousness? And recover from madness? That’s a bit too miraculous.

This has got to be some sort of Cloning Technique, right?

Master Mingyue smiled faintly, "See, Evil Man? If you tell me the information I want to know, not only will I spare your life, but I will also transmit to you the true teachings of my Xuanxu Palace’s Daoist Skills, making you a member of Xuanxu Palace. You will have your own name, and no longer be a meaningless ’Evil Man.’ How about it?"

"Let me think, let me think!"

The Evil Man muttered to himself.

The surrounding Foolish Taoists continued to wail, while the Mad Taoists stirred up a commotion.

"Mad Taoist, how can you submit to these silly Taoists? We cultivate the supreme Daoist Skill, transcendent Immortal Techniques. Use your Spell to wipe out these ants, set us free! Together, we’ll dominate the Nine Provinces!"

"That’s right, each of us is unparalleled, talents that shock the world. How can we be anyone’s disciple? It would make more sense for them to take us as masters."

"Exactly, exactly! They would have to see if they even possess the qualifications to learn my great Dao. My Dao is profound and infinite; learning it could lead to becoming an immortal or even a saint. Without 10 silver coins, I wouldn’t even let them have a glimpse."

Feng Yilang looked at the Mad Taoists with an embarrassed face.

Yet, the Evil Man burst into loud laughter.

"Interesting, interesting. My avatars actually have such ambition. They’ve been underestimated. Master Mingyue, I’ve thought it over, and I won’t tell you anything."

Master Mingyue sighed, "Do you still delude yourself into thinking you are the original?"

The Evil Man shook his head, "That’s not it; after what you said, I’m truly not sure anymore. But if I am the real one, then all of this is naturally what I wanted to do. Perhaps I just forgot for a moment."
