Chapter 1000: Chapter 1000: On Sitting and Forgetting

Su Chengyu’s sudden awakening caught Yuxuan Zhenren by surprise. Although he had already performed some healing on Su Chengyu, he had anticipated that it would be a while yet before he awoke.

Noticing the wary look in the young man’s eyes, Yuxuan Zhenren gave a faint smile and said, "Young friend, don’t you recognize me?"

"Are you the senior Yuxuan?"

Su Chengyu asked with doubt and vigilance.

When he acquired the Frost Feather Ring and learned the Extreme Cold Ice Seal, Su Chengyu had met Yuxuan Zhenren once, hearing only his voice, but the aura was indeed consistent with the elder in front of him.

Even so, Su Chengyu didn’t let his guard down in the slightest, well aware that he was still within the Ascending Heaven Tower.

"On the path of cultivation, being cautious is beneficial, but pushing oneself too hard is not a wise decision."

Yuxuan Zhenren spoke gently and then sat at one end of the chessboard, whereupon the densely scattered chess pieces instantly vanished.

"I know you have many questions, but before my good friend returns, how about a careful game of chess with me?"

The game was a pretense, intended to calm Su Chengyu’s mind.

Although Su Chengyu had forcibly awakened, the spiritual energy within his body was in complete turmoil.

The backlash from forcefully wielding the Wasteland Sky Halberd had reached deep into his dantian, threatening to harm his origin if prolonged.

Though still curious, Su Chengyu was treated courteously by the other party, who had indeed previously granted him an opportunity. After some thought, he sat down at the other end of the chessboard.

"You go first."

Su Chengyu didn’t bother with niceties, took up a white piece, and after a moment’s consideration,

placed it in the center of the board.

Seeing Su Chengyu’s bold move, Yuxuan Zhenren did not judge it as good or bad, but a trace of appreciation showed on his face.

While Su Chengyu lacked experience in formal games, he had studied Go in his early years and, coupled with a cultivator’s computational power, he was undoubtedly a top-notch player anywhere.

However, facing Yuxuan Zhenren, Su Chengyu could clearly feel that his skill was far inferior.

It wasn’t just because he was unfamiliar with the eighty-one Daoist variants of Go, but the opponent’s layout and calculations far surpassed Su Chengyu’s own.

"What realm are the senior and Kunwu Immortal exactly?"

"I am merely an ordinary Profound Immortal, as for Kunwu... It’s better for you to ask him yourself."

Su Chengyu’s brows knitted just as he was about to speak, but Yu Xuan preempted him,

"There’s no need to ask me. Kunwu has grand schemes, and I am completely unaware of his intentions."

Su Chengyu, who’d been cut off, wasn’t discouraged and continued, "Are neither of you in your true form?"

Yuxuan Zhenren couldn’t help but smile wryly, "Of course not. With the divide between immortals and mortals, how could we possibly exist for long in the Lower Realm after crossing the Fairy Bridge?"

Although he had his suspicions, the actual confirmation of this answer still startled Su Cheng within.

Mere projection of Divine Sense was enough to preside over the entire Kunwu Realm. This was no simple matter of power disparity — the gulf between immortals and mortals was truly not to be underestimated.

"To tell the truth, the reason behind Kunwu’s creation of the Kunwu Realm has also been a longstanding puzzle for me."

"How so, senior?"

While Su Chengyu still harbored resentment towards Kunwu Immortal, he held no ill will towards Yuxuan Zhenren.

"In the beginning, I thought that Kunwu created the Kunwu Realm only so that we, Cultivators of the Human Clan, could have a chance to rise since only the Human Clan was the weakest at ascending to immortality."

"The Human Clan is the weakest?"

Su Chengyu couldn’t believe what he was hearing and spoke out.

"Yes, although Kunwu and I are both born as Cultivators of the Human Clan, in the Immortal World, Immortals born from the Human Clan are the fewest and their power the most frail. So, I always believed the Kunwu Realm was a long staircase to the heavens left by Kunwu for the Cultivators of the Human Clan..."

"But the reality is probably not so, right?"

Su Chengyu’s tone suddenly turned cold.

As a Trialist who had experienced nearly half a year in the Kunwu Realm, the journey to the Ascending Heaven Tower had completely changed Su Chengyu’s understanding of the Kunwu Realm.

This place couldn’t be called a long staircase to the heavens, rather it seemed more like a deathtrap—a place for a deadly trial.

Not to mention the ubiquitous dangers and challenges, even the Ascending Heaven Tower, personally left by an Immortal of Kunwu, showed no concern for the life and death of those undergoing the trials.

Indeed, the path of cultivation is fraught with the danger of death, and perishing during a trial conforms to the laws of heaven and earth, but when the Immortal of Kunwu actively intervened in Su Chengyu’s trial, and even went so far as to create a replica of Su Chengyu, intending to replace him, then the existence of the Kunwu Realm was definitely not just a pure land of trials benefiting future generations.

"Young friend, you seem to harbor resentment."

Su Chengyu took a deep breath and looked at Yuxuan Zhenren: "Senior, although I do not wish to suspect the two Immortals with the most malicious intentions, what I have personally experienced forces me to be cautious. I believe that you are unaware of the ins and outs of the Kunwu Realm, so I want to ask about my friend..."

"Rest assured, aside from you, Kunwu has not interfered in the trials of others."

Su Chengyu appeared somewhat skeptical and wasn’t entirely convinced.

Yuxuan Zhenren continued helplessly: "That girl Lin An has already ascended to the tenth floor; Kunwu has gone to see her, and should be leaving the Ascending Heaven Tower soon if all goes well."

"And if things don’t go well?"

"As long as you are here, I think Kunwu would not let anything happen to her."

Yuxuan Zhenren smiled, making Su Chengyu even more puzzled.

Just as Su Chengyu was full of doubts, Yuxuan Zhenren suddenly pointed his finger and a black chess piece appeared before Su Chengyu.

"We too are predestined, so I will gift you this cultivation technique to aid in your cultivation."

Before Su Chengyu could react, the black chess piece transformed into a streak of light that shot into his forehead. Numerous ancient texts appeared in his mind. Su Chengyu couldn’t see a single character, yet he understood the meaning of the Daoism Method clearly.

"This Daoism Method is called ’Sitting and Forgetting Scripture,’ and it has three layers: Selfless, No-self, and True Self. With it, you can enter the Realm of Selflessness at will."

To Su Chengyu’s surprise, he looked at Yuxuan Zhenren; he now knew that the Realm of Selflessness was a technique of Immortals. Although he had fortuitously entered it once, finding his way back into that profound state was beyond him.

The ’Sitting and Forgetting Scripture,’ despite being an auxiliary Cultivation Technique, could not be underestimated in value.

"Is this an Immortal Law?"

"Yes, but you need not worry. Since you’ve already entered the Realm of Selflessness once, there is no risk in cultivating the Sitting and Forgetting Scripture."

Su Chengyu blinked, "Senior, do you want me to let go of my prejudices against the Immortal of Kunwu?"

Yuxuan shook his head, just about to speak, when that familiar voice rang out once again.

"Young friend, there’s no need to be so cautious. Yuxuan doesn’t know what I intend to do; gifting you this technique is simply due to the predestined relationship you have with it."

Out of thin air, Kunwu Zhenren finally appeared before Su Chengyu. Su Chengyu stood up from the chessboard, ready for battle, and looked at this scheming so-called Immortal with vigilance.
