Chapter 586: All Dead Ends

Emotions between people cannot be shared, even if you have the ability to read minds.

After returning to Wuyou Fairy Island, Chen Zhixing discovered that he had gained this little magical power at some point. This made him suddenly realize that he had already advanced to the twelfth order.

Is mind reading considered a supernatural power?

Perhaps, but Chen Zhixing felt that this little magical power was of no significance to him. Not only could he not understand the thoughts of those he read, but it also brought him a lot of unnecessary troubles.

For example, he saw a Xinggong disciple sitting on one side of the lotus pond, looking at the blooming lotus flowers in the pond with a sad face.

Out of curiosity, Chen Zhixing used his magical powers to investigate, but the answer he got made his heart freeze for a moment.

[The price of a Star-Colored Lotus outside is three high-grade spirit stones. There are tens of thousands of lotus pedestals in this lotus pond. If I steal one a day, I think no one will find out, right?]

This is what the disciple wanted to say.

Will it be discovered? No.

This pond of lotus flowers blooms all year round. There are not tens of thousands of flowers as the disciple thought, but a full 21,300 flowers. Even if you don't pick them and let them grow freely, their flowering period is only three months.

In other words, even if the disciple picked more than ten lotus flowers every day for three months, there would not be any damage to the appearance of the lotus pond.

After all, flowers bloom and fall, who would count them every day?

But then again, according to the rules, this pool of lotus belongs to the private property of Chen Zhixing, the Lord of the Star Palace. It is not the sect's property, nor is it public property. In other words, what this disciple wants to do now is to steal Chen Zhixing's things.

Let him steal?

A bit frustrating.

But what if you don’t let me?

After three months, the lotus in this pond will fall into the water and turn into spiritual energy and nutrients. Although this kind of free-range growth can indeed warm the spirituality of the lotus pond, it is undoubtedly far less than the proceeds from picking and selling the lotus.

Some of it was wasted.

And to Chen Zhixing himself, the lotus in this pond is just a landscape. He has never thought of picking and selling these lotuses. The reason he raised them in the first place was just to see the beautiful sight of the lotuses in full bloom.

The most important thing is that it is obvious that this disciple has just entered the Star Palace and is in need of spirit stones to lay a good foundation. Logically speaking, Chen Zhixing should allow him to take a few lotus flowers.

But, if there are more people like this, then after ten days, how many lotus flowers will be left in this pool after everyone picks them? This is the case with the lotus and the Star Palace. When these people get used to it, will they set their sights on Chen Zhixing?

Even though Chen Zhixing knew that this was basically impossible, he still couldn't help but think about it.

But this is destined to be a dead end.

In the final analysis, the system of the sect is different from that of the noble family. Compared with the common profit and common output of the noble family, and distribution according to needs, for the majority of disciples of the sect, the individual property and the property of the sect are completely separated, and they will never sacrifice their personal interests to make up for the sect. 'So, which one is better, the system of the noble family or the system of the sect holy land? '

Chen Zhixing whispered something in his heart, and then he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

What do these messy thoughts have to do with him now?

It's just a trivial matter.

If it weren't for the sudden emergence of this mind-reading or telepathic ability, even if the people of the Star Palace picked all the lotuses in this pond, what would it matter? At most, he would question Chen Wanhong, the current manager of the Star Palace, and then Chen Wanhong would question them and finally punish and deal with a group of people. In any case, he, a Star Lord who was practicing in seclusion, should not worry about it.

'So, the more magical powers one has, the better. Especially for a minor magical power like telepathy, which is considered miraculous to low-level cultivators but has no effect on immortal cultivators, it might be better to have none.'

After figuring this out, Chen Zhixing no longer paid any attention to the Xinggong disciple who had already made up his mind to steal. His figure flashed and he disappeared beside the lotus pond.

Just as Chen Zhixing had just thought.

He didn't need to think about these things, or even make any suggestions. He just needed to see how Chen Wanhong did it. If Chen Wanhong didn't do well, then Chen Zhixing would just give this ancestor of his own a certain punishment. In any case, it was not the turn of such a new disciple to waste his energy.

Spring ploughing and autumn harvest.

In the blink of an eye, several months had passed. During this time, Chen Zhixing didn't even feel how much time had passed.

To him, it was just that a batch of lotus flowers in the lotus pond withered, and then a new batch bloomed. Just by looking with the naked eye, it seemed that he could not tell how much difference there was from a few months ago.

What made Chen Zhixing feel uncomfortable was that the disciple who stole the lotus flowers from the lotus pond was not caught.

During three months, this disciple took away a total of 112 pure lotus flowers from the lotus pond. He gained a lot of benefits and made great progress in his cultivation. He actually broke through to the spiritual realm. Among the disciples who entered the sect at the same time, he was ranked sixth, and was highly appreciated by several elders at the top level.

Logically speaking, even if things had come to this point, Chen Zhixing should not have paid attention to it a second time.

But this time he did not take the initiative to watch, but an elder of the top level named Chen from the Xingdao Chen family came forward to report, hoping to accept the sixth flower thief as the direct descendant of the Xinggong, and even hoped to choose a woman from the side branch of the Xingdao Chen family to be betrothed to him, so that this flower thief can marry into the family, change his character, and become a member of the Xingdao Chen family. This should not be a big deal for Chen Zhixing.

If you don't have telepathy, then it's right if it's right, and it's wrong if it's wrong. It's more or less just a matter of his words.

But when Chen Zhixing saw the man for the second time, the other person's thoughts given by his telepathy made Chen Zhixing's scalp tingle suddenly. He wanted to abolish this little magical power on the spot, and even erase the memory of what he saw before! ! ! [The sect is really good to me, especially Elder Chen. Not only did he want to accept me into the sect, he even took the trouble to arrange a marriage for me. But what if Elder Chen finds out that my spiritual roots are not as good as he thought after arranging all these for me? ]

[The reason why I have improved my cultivation in the past few months is mostly because I stole lotus flowers from the lotus pond in exchange for high-quality spirit stones to help me cultivate. So, I can't keep stealing like this in the future, right? ]

[If I don’t steal, what else can I do? 】

[If I steal and Mr. Chen finds out, what will Mr. Chen do to me? ]

[.I only regret that I was so careless at that time. Why did I touch the lotus in the pond? If it weren’t for the benefits of the lotus, how could I face such a choice now? I might even lose my life because of it.]

[No, this matter must not be known to anyone. Either I can find another way to make money in a short period of time, or I must find a way to rebel against the Star Palace. Otherwise, for me, staying in this Star Palace is definitely a dead end! ]

[Yes, it is a way to make money.]

This section of telepathic narration seems to simply tell the story of how a not-so-good person transformed into a not-so-bad person.

It sounds a bit unremarkable.

But for Chen Zhixing, he has already seen two future timelines for this person, and even his final outcome after the two timelines.

First, on the eleventh day after his marriage, this man took the excuse of returning home to visit relatives as a newlywed and returned home with the girl from the Chen family. He then defected on the way and was chased by the girl from the Chen family. He was captured in anger and sent back to the sect for interrogation. He was then executed by the man he called Old Chen.

Secondly, this man confessed to his new wife on his wedding night, and the Chen family later provided him with the resources he needed for his practice. From then on, he worked diligently with Xinggong for twenty-one years. Later, when he was about to achieve Nirvana, he was devoured by his inner demons and died.

"Is this cause and effect?"

As soon as he said this, the picture in Chen Zhixing's eyes gradually became blurred, and then he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, as if something in the extremely distant universe and starry sky was looking at him from afar.

No malicious intent.

There is no emotion at all.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

That indifferent gaze reacted naturally after being touched, almost mechanically. When it saw that it was just a youngster who had just started to understand the law of cause and effect, it looked away and no longer paid attention to him.

But just that single moment almost froze Chen Zhixing's consciousness completely!!! He didn't know how long he stayed there to relax. It wasn't until the party was over that Chen Zhixing finally relaxed from the cold gaze that froze his mind and let out a long breath.

'The source of that look just now must be a powerful person who has walked the path of cause and effect. It is very likely that he noticed me because I had touched this path. I don't know why he passed by me later. It was because I had just touched it. And that look just now was a warning to me? Warning me that someone has occupied the path of cause and effect. If I continue to step on this path, will I be separated from him in life and death?'

As this thought came to his mind, Chen Zhixing sighed helplessly.

no way.

It seems that in the universe and the sea of ​​stars, those big guys who want to occupy the top avenues such as 'Cause and Effect' are all so domineering. If they are not so domineering, they will not be able to protect these top avenues that everyone wants.

If you don't have the ability to get something that everyone wants, how can you keep it?

So here comes the question.

If Chen Zhixing doesn't follow the path of cause and effect that he just touched, then after he turns into a chaotic life in the future, which path should he follow to prove himself as a chaotic god and devil? "Giving way once is basically equivalent to giving way every time. The path that I touched first must be the most suitable for me. But if I don't give way, what can I do? Competing with the one who can kill me with just a glance? I'm afraid I will die in the next moment!"

After whispering this, Chen Zhixing stopped thinking about it.

I even hope I can forget these thoughts.

It was because Willow God had reminded him that those who wanted to become Chaos Gods and Demons in the Hengyu Realm were all Golden Immortals who had already achieved enlightenment! Chen Zhixing didn't want to be noticed by these real big guys at all! He didn't want to compete with these beings for something before he had the same level of strength! That would be courting death!

Without mentioning anything else, if he dared to make such a move before he had achieved Daluo, then the next second after he did such a thing, a Daluo Jinxian would appear in front of him along the timeline and wipe him out! You can think about it, but you must not take any substantial action, otherwise you will definitely not survive.

It’s best not to even think about it!

This is the answer Chen Zhixing came to after being stared at by that gaze.

In today's era, the Golden Immortals are like a huge net covering the entire universe. As long as you find something that can touch them, these terrifying beings will instantly arrive in front of you along the timeline!

"So, it's the same old saying. The higher you go, the narrower the road becomes. If you want to achieve enlightenment, your only chance is to find a gap in these continuous networks that can go unnoticed, and then achieve enlightenment without anyone else knowing?"

Although he said this, Chen Zhixing already knew in his heart that this was probably the truth.

On the Chaos God and Demon side, the topmost road is most likely blocked.

No, it cannot be said to be blocked.

There are many roads, but if you are unlucky and step on a road occupied by others, you will die in the next second! So, how should Chen Zhixing test which road is open?

If you don't dare to test it, what's the difference between this and a dead end? "Haha, if you don't reach my current level, you will never imagine how desperate the situation is for someone of my level."

Chen Zhixing, realizing that his future was bleak, could not help but murmur.

But in the next second.

In this empty Ziwei Heng Palace, someone actually answered his questions!

"Don't even think about it. The Chaos God and Demon Road is blocked. If it were, why would a barbarian like you who lives on the edge have the chance to cultivate it? The only way forward for all living beings in the universe is to transform into an immortal, become a celestial immortal, and then attempt to attain the Dao Fruit of Daluo. Although this is also a half-dead road where only one in ten thousand people can succeed, it still has some hope. It's better than the three thousand Chaos God and Demon Roads that have already been occupied!"

The voice spoke to Chen Zhixing in a cold voice.

Chen Zhixing frowned slightly when he heard this.

He turned his head and looked at the nothingness to the side.

"According to what you said, the Golden Immortals in the Hengyu Realm have already occupied all three thousand avenues? But if it is according to what you said, where do so many Golden Immortals come from in the Hengyu Realm?"

"Oh, there aren't so many Golden Immortals, but they also have disciples, juniors, relatives and friends, right? There are only so many roads. If these Golden Immortals don't take care of them and warn us latecomers, then one day these roads will really be occupied by outsiders like you and me. Then, won't their disciples have no way to go?"

Chen Zhixing: “!!!”

At this moment, he suddenly felt that what the voice said made sense, and it really made sense!!! (End of this chapter)
