Chapter 389: Chapter 90: A Little Primordial Spirit Shock (Seeking Monthly Pass)_3

"A beauty passes through the intestines; the Buddha sits atop the heart." You don’t feel ashamed but take pride in it, if the Buddha knew of someone like you, he’d probably never want to preach his dharma in the place you dwell in your entire life.]

[Wuxin didn’t know of your squalor, otherwise you would have been minced into tofu dregs.]

[You hit the road again, following some gradually fading traces, hoping to save those few unfortunate humans from the Pioneering Team. After all, you feel that both the Gu Family and the Song Family are being somewhat pretentious. Hey, you’re actually a pretty decent person.]

[After a tough journey, you’ve made it halfway to your destination. There by the roadside ditch, you find the first survivor, an unconscious woman in a battle-damaged white gauze outfit, blood oozing from multiple wounds, her body passively encased in a green, eggshell-like protective dome.]

["F*ck," you exclaim, your eyes widening.]

["Recognize her?" Wuxin notices your reaction.]

[Of course you recognize her, you realize the woman is actually an acquaintance of yours, but you’re not sure if she’s your aunt Gu Yueming or her twin sister Gu Yuexi. After all, you know the two are identical twins.]

[But regardless of who it is, you have to save her this time, because one is your dear aunt, and the other is the chief doctor who saved your foster father’s life.]

[Oh, so you remember your foster father, you unfilial descendant. The Tai Chu Scroll thought you’d become immersed in the beauty of the Wasteland and had long forgotten your hometown.]

[You find that Gu Yueming (Xi), despite her severe injuries, still has breath in her; with what you know about the profession of a Witch, you’re aware that as long as they haven’t been directly killed, they’re unlikely to die. Considering that there are all kinds of Nie Qiba roaming around, you have no choice but to take Gu Yueming (Xi) along.]

[Ordinary people can’t enjoy such good luck, but fortunately, you are a Warrior, and carrying an extra person is no trouble at all.]

[You carry one in your arms, another on your back, two beauties, one disabled and one severely wounded, as you travel with beautiful companions – what joy.]

[You also feel that the future holds many obstacles. You originally thought that even though this illusion is full of crises, it would only be of First Rank in strength, which you felt was manageable.]

[However, the severely injured Gu Yueming (Xi) has made you realize something is off. A healer is unlikely to roam the Wasteland alone; a Second Rank healer would, of course, be matched with a Second Rank team. So, this danger is definitely beyond your expectations.]

[But you don’t think too much about it; all you want now is to get your question answered.]

["We’ve come more than halfway; it’s time to keep your promise and tell me the answer, Master Wuxin," you urge her.]

[Wuxin doesn’t beat around the bush; she promptly tells you a secret about the Extraordinary World.]

[It turns out that the existence of the "Three Deceit Families", which is human Transcendents that follow the paths of the Evil Spirit, the exotic, and the Demon, is actually five paths, strictly speaking, because the three houses of the Evil Spirit are independent of each other. Between these five paths, there is a commonality: they can freely devour each other’s Curse Crystals to level up and advance without any risk and can perfectly acquire the power after advancement.]

[Similar phenomena can evolve, which is why you often see several monsters of different paths devouring each other; the principle among monsters is the same.]

[This is a confirmed phenomenon, but the specific reason is still unknown; in any case, it definitely exists.]

[Because of this, if a monster of a Transcendent profession were to become a high-order being, their power would be extremely terrifying, and their abilities very comprehensive. But that’s clearly a pipe dream.]

[Having finished her explanation, Wuxin says to you, "So, what you wanted to know is this. Monsters worship the higher beings, so it’s only natural for Primordial Spirit Ksitigarbha to have exotic and demon believers. In fact, although few people know this knowledge, it’s essentially useless. After all, nobody would want to become exotic, an Evil Spirit, or a Demon, as that would completely and utterly erase their self."]

[Before she finished talking, she saw a smirk spreading across your face as you chuckled.]

["Eh, why do you laugh, sir?" Wuxin asks, puzzled.]

[You reply with a smile, "It’s nothing, I just wanted to say, Master Wuxin, you should change your name to Fortune Master. I like you so much, hahaha!"]

[Wuxin remains impassive: "A monk does not speak lies, does not involve in passions or desires, does not indulge in love affairs, take your feelings seriously, sir."]

[She rejects your advances, but you’re not offended in the least.]

——

"These three paths, no, actually five legs; the three paths of the Evil Spirit are counted separately."

"They can swap directly, directly advance?"

"I’ve been worrying about how to advance to the Second Rank since I lack the exotic pathway’s Curse Seal, and I couldn’t find an exotic Mark Altar, but who knew the answer was here all along!"

"It’s like finding a needle in a haystack without any effort! The gains this time are really too great! Hahaha!"

Relishing the "hidden knowledge" he had obtained, Xu Shu looked at the formed "Yang God Seal" in his Tai Chu Scroll’s inventory, as well as the Yin God Altar yet to be sacrificed, his face radiating with pride.

With this, he could now confidently level up and become a Second Rank "Iron Armor" Warrior – it was just a matter of time.

"Who would have thought, this Wuxin truly is an unexpected delight."

Xu Shu couldn’t help but smile broadly; today had truly been a day of continuous good fortune and surprises.

He continued on his journey:

[At this moment, your destination is in sight, a short distance ahead, you can see a large expanse of ruins and the half-emerged base of an ancient temple.]

[Suddenly, as you turn a corner, you find several corpses of Nie Qiba, along with many other monstrosities with octopus-like faces.]

[At the same time, you hear a familiar female voice:]

["Hold on a little longer, there’s still hope!"]
