Chapter 78: Cultivation and Enlightenment

“This is your fate. From now on, you should follow Sisi and assist her.”

Huh, why should I assist a trash who was inferior to me.

“Your luck is really good. If you can enter the main residence, you’ll be different from us in the future.”

What was the difference? Weren’t they all slaves to the people in the main residence?

“People like us are born to be slaves. We can’t even live to enjoy the life!”

Why? Why? Why should I be born to be a slave?

These words haunted He Zhao like a nightmare. From the time he could remember, the people around him kept telling him that this was his life: to be a slave and assist his master.

He Zhao was unwilling to accept this. He did not want to forever be under others and beg for mercy. He wanted to be the master!

Ever since He Zhao rebelled against the Yu family, no one had ever said such things to him. In just a few months, he seemed to have been reborn. He had completely forgotten the days when he had been reprimanded by the higher-ups, “Not to be overstepped”.

He thought that with his talent and ability, he would definitely be able to stand out in the He family. He was not willing to be just an elder and higher up in the future. He wanted to be the head of the He family and the master who truly controlled the lives of others!

However, he soon discovered that the He family was other Yu family. He still couldn’t shake off his previous fate, but he was really, really, really unwilling to accept it!

He Zhao lowered his head deeply and began to cry. He might be about to die in such a dark place.

It was another beautiful spring day on Mount God of Heaven. The birds sang and the flowers were fragrant.

Jiang Yun sat cross-legged on the edge of the barrier. He supported his chin with one hand and looked at the sunrise in the sky.

A red sun slowly rose from the sky, dyeing everything around him red. It was so red that it was vivid and dazzling.

Jiang Yun stared at it for a while. His eyes were sore. He lowered his head and rubbed his eyes. He stopped looking at the sun and turned to look at the scenery of the snow mountain outside the barrier.

Everything was revived under the sunlight. Only the scenery of the snow mountain remained unchanged since ancient times. “The altitude is too high,” Jiang Yun thought to himself.

He heard that there was a small town at the foot of the mountain. There were many delicious and interesting things in the town. He really wanted to go down and take a look. Jiang Yun felt envy his disciples.

It was really hard not to yearn for the outside world, especially when he was always annoyed by the little peacock with a big mouth that didn’t spit out any good words. Jiang Yun silently calculated how far it was from the Mount God of Heaven to the small town at the foot of the mountain, how many disciples he had to take in, and how many people he had to kill before he could go and take a look.

“You actually woke up so early today?” Kong Li’s voice came from behind him. When he was interrupted in the middle of calculating the experience points, Jiang Yun simply stopped and resumed his lazy sitting posture.

“Watch the sunrise.”

“Watch the sunrise? What’s so good about watching the sunrise? The sun is the same every day. I’ve watched it for hundreds of years and I’m tired of it. Haven’t you lived for tens of thousands of years? You’ve watched the sunrise for tens of thousands of years. Aren’t you tired of it?”

The chattering little peacock opened his mouth again and asked a series of strange questions. At the same time, he muttered in his heart, “Could it be that Jiang Yun has lived for too long and is not in his right mind?”?

“I’m fine. I can watch it if I want to.” Hearing that Kong Li thought that he was mentally ill in his heart, Jiang Yun only smiled and replied indifferently. This bird secretly criticized him every day. He was already used to it.

“Why are you sitting on the ground like this? You really don’t care.” Kong Li saw that Jiang Yun was sitting on the ground. The corners of his clothes were stained with grass. He was very disgusted.

“Mind your own business.” Jiang Yun didn’t want to pay attention to him. His heart was depressed. He wasn’t in a particularly good mood today, yet this little peacock still wanted to tease him.

“How can you be like this? I…” Before Kong Li could finish his words, Jiang Yun, who suddenly appeared in front of him, grabbed his bird’s beak impatiently. Then, he was given a good beating.

After that, Jiang Yun smoothed out his long hair and walked away in high spirits. Sure enough, there was no problem that could not be solved by a good beating. If there was, he would beat him up again.

Kong Li, who had been beaten up for no reason, lay on the ground covered in grass scraps. He was shocked and confused. Why was he suddenly beaten up?

After Jiang Yun finished beating Kong Li, he felt much better. He took out a bowl of fish food and stood by the lotus pond to feed the koi carp. He also made a wish, “Koi carps, please bless my disciples to level up smoothly so that they can farm monsters and give me experience points.”

Koi carps swarmed over to snatch the food. Jiang Yun’s fish food was the their favorite and they gave him a warm welcome.

Jiang Yun watched them snatch the food with a face full of affection. At the same time, he thought, why not raise something else? I can’t eat this koi carps either.

Koi carps, “Aren’t we your little babies?”

Jiang Yun fed them for a while, then flew to his master’s grave and watered the flowers on his grave so that they would bloom more beautifully.

After he watered them, Jiang Yun didn’t know what to do. Yu Sisi and Xiong Ji were scared by Kong Li’s pecking and would only come up at noon. When they were finished, it would be evening. In the evening, Yu Sisi would meditate and cultivate in the barrier while Xiong Ji went to the foot of the mountain to visit the villagers.

Ever since Jiang Yun told them about his plan to expand the sect, Xiong Ji had been very active. He thought that the small town at the foot of the mountain was also their territory, so he had to visit it often.

Therefore, he went there every day. He was so diligent that Jiang Yun wondered if he had received protection money from the villagers or if he had a lover down there.

For this reason, he even went out of his way to have a chat with Xiong Ji. In the end, Xiong Ji said very awkwardly, “No, master. I go down the mountain every day just to see if there’s anything that everyone needs help with. I’m afraid that the He family won’t give up and come over to harass them.”.

“Really?” Jiang Yun expressed his doubt.

“Really, master. How could I possibly take money from the villagers?! And I definitely won’t have any good relationships with them. I’ve been wholeheartedly cultivating with you, master. I won’t be easily moved.”

“Then you’re paying too much attention to the villagers in this small town.” Jiang Yun responded.

“Master, at first, I didn’t care about the lives of the humans at the foot of the mountain. But the last time I went down the mountain with senior sister to wait for the He family’s people, we just killed a bunch of wild boars while we were at it. They’ve been very good to us. I just want to return the favor.”

At this moment, Jiang Yun suddenly realized that although this outer sect disciple of his was originally a beast, he had already begun to look like a human.

“Do you know why there are so many cultivators in the human race? Even if magical beasts are inherently stronger than humans of the same level, but the human cultivators still the rulers of the Divine Ao Mainland?” Xiong Ji was stunned. He did not expect Jiang Yun to suddenly ask him such a question. He lowered his head and pondered for a long time. Finally, he raised his head and said, “I don’t know.”

“Then you can think about it slowly. After you know the answers to these questions, perhaps you will be able to comprehend and enlighten.”

After saying that, Jiang Yun waved his hand and left.

Xiong Ji bowed deeply behind him. “I will remember your teachings, Master.”

Jiang Yun thought of Xiong Ji and sighed again. He hoped that he would understand it as soon as possible. He could not reveal the answer, Xiong Ji had to think it through himself, or else he would be misguided.

“Good morning, master.” Yu Sisi bowed respectfully to Jiang Yun. When she left the house today, she saw her master sighing beside the lotus pond alone. She did not know what had happened.

“Forget it,” Jiang Yun thought. “I still have a disciple. She definitely could be enlightened.”
