"Still not enough."

Zhou Ping’an sunk into the Lotus of his mind and looked at the remaining 531 Mind Wish Power Silk Threads.

He couldn’t help but sigh.

He actually wanted to cultivate slowly, drink tea at leisure, enjoy the wine, and observe the ancient human conditions of Another World.

But one thing after another pressed upon him, almost leaving him breathless.

Mr. Lu was right.

"Whenever you want to advance even one step, you’ll find that the whole world is against you."

Zhou Ping’an now felt something similar to this.

It seemed that no matter how many layers of suppression he broke through, and his strength grew stronger, there were always more obstacles and more crises emerging not far ahead.

This life seemed as if it were designed this way.

Whether it was in the modern world or in the ancient world, it was the same.

"Perhaps this is the result of class stratification."

"To stand out, to rise to prominence and to not be hindered, one must have the courage and the strength to break through everything..."

Thinking of this, Zhou Ping’an took a deep breath and cleared all the negative emotions from the depths of his heart.

The elderly used to say, "Battling with the heavens is endless joy."

"Battling with others is endless joy."

If you dare not fight and compete, how can you talk about controlling your own life?

"Third Miss, Fa Ming the old monk, they must spend quite some effort and time to extract secrets from Li Yuan Kang’s mouth. I’ll get ready first," said Zhou Ping’an to himself, yet when facing Lin Huaiyu, he was full of confidence, "We can’t just wait for the old monk to come killing his way here only to find that we have no means to keep him. That would be a never-ending problem."

He had heard countless stories where every kind or honest person, once turned malevolent, became thrice as formidable and much harder to deal with.

Moreover, such characters, once they break through the moral gates in their hearts, become unrestrained and unpredictable, leaving others clueless about what they might do.

To prevent prolonged nightmares,

Zhou Ping’an decided to seize every opportunity to make himself stronger, so as to avoid future troubles.

"If it’s cultivation, then cultivate, but you don’t need to hole up in this secret chamber, do you?"

Lin Huaiyu’s eyes brimmed like autumn water, reflecting all things.

Her tone was slightly anxious.

To others, it would not be apparent that the Third Miss had any emotional change.

But Zhou Ping’an knew that she was worried about him.

"It’s okay, didn’t I say? Although the Five Desires Demon Scripture is demonic, I have my methods to suppress it. Besides, with so much gold, silver, and jewels in this secret chamber, even if the cultivation of ’Greed’ is difficult, I can still pull through."

"I will wait for you outside the door,"

Lin Huaiyu looked at him deeply and stopped persuading him.

In her mind, she thought,

’A breakthrough in the face of battle also follows a heart of greed, desiring greater strength to face formidable enemies...’

’But with his unrivaled talent and tenacity, he should not be easily troubled.’

Trust is trust, and worry is worry.

They are different matters.

With her mind preoccupied, Lin Huaiyu hid in the shadows of the plum trees, held onto her knife hilt, and silently guarded in front of the secret chamber while half of her attention closely watched the direction of the Bamboo Garden.

If her judgment was correct,

The old monk would surely come.

She just didn’t know when he would arrive.

...

"Mine, all mine,"

Only when he truly began to cultivate,

Did Zhou Ping’an understand why Li Yuan Kang had turned into such a ghastly figure.

It was indeed not an accident.

Human desire comes from instinct.

The difference between humans and animals lies in the fact that intelligence and various constraints prevent indulgence.

The moment one unleashes the devil inside and lets the heart’s defenses collapse, one immediately becomes a beast, devoid of any shred of humanity...

And this Five Desires Demon Scripture, its first layer of ’Greed’ cultivation, requires one to release the bond in the heart and discard the moral concepts and rules taught by society after birth.

To find the line of Spiritual Light forgotten since birth.

With neither good nor evil, a heart united with the heavens, Zhou Ping’an felt his heart revert to a blank slate, then blackened by Greed.

Beyond the piles of gold and silver treasures in the secret chamber, he only thought of the day when he would sit atop all creation, controlling the fate of all beings, doing whatever he pleased.

To eat a fried dough stick and toss one aside.

Well, as the pinnacle of all beings, why bother with fried dough sticks at all? Ridiculous.

He gathered all the little hills of gold and silver in front of him and, like a vicious dog, greedily snatched at the jewels shining with colorful light...

Still, it didn’t quite satisfy his heart.

’As much gold and silver as there is in this secret chamber, it pales in comparison to all the riches in Qingyang City. Perhaps, once I leave the County Yamen, I should just wipe out those wealthy families, clean them out, and take their money and grain.’

This thought, once formed, grew wild like a nourished beast, swelling within him.

A dark and deep head appeared above Zhou Ping’an’s head, howling and screaming, urging him to act.

Eventually, Zhou Ping’an ceased resisting, his eyes turned blood-red and his facial muscles twisted, becoming slightly ferocious as he stood up, ready to leave the secret chamber for a killing spree.

As Zhou Ping’an neared the door, he heard Lin Huaiyu’s even and delicate breathing.

She made no effort to conceal it; her breath was her message, telling him that she was always waiting outside.

If he was truly out of control,

To kill, he would have to kill her first.

’Such support, one completely doesn’t know how to respond.’
