Chapter 160: Chapter 136 Talent, Am I Passerby A? (5000-word Mega Chapter)_3

[You still did not restrain your own desires and arrogance, and you felt the impact of all these emotions.]

[You saw the people who once supported you start to criticize you, and you witnessed your close friends gradually distancing themselves from you.]

[It seemed as though there was some enlightenment in your heart, as you came to understand what these emotions had made you lose.]

[In the tenth year, you began to reflect on your actions over the years, contemplating the good and bad that money and power had brought you.]

[Perhaps, this state could be called Enlightenment, but unlike the cultivators’ understanding of the Great Dao of nature, what you comprehended was the Dao of humanity, the path of the seven emotions and six desires.]

[You vanished from the public eye for a while, during which you forced yourself to stay in the Spirit Field Blessed Land, accompanying plants and trees every day, eating Spirit Rice, drinking from the Spiritual Spring, and living a simple life of plain tea and food.]

[At first, you were not used to it; you missed the fine wines and wealth of the outside world, and the respectful, adoring gazes of people.]

[But you knew you had to overcome this hurdle, or else you would truly get lost in these emotions and desires.]

[So you forced yourself to stay in the Spirit Field Blessed Land, where, aside from your arduous cultivation, you studied elixirs and Spirit Plants, and kept the company of mountains and rivers every day.]

[In the twelfth year, gradually, your heart settled down; you were no longer crazily obsessed with former power and desires.]

[Apart from the necessary Flesh Essence of the Demon Emperor each month, you rarely met with outsiders, becoming accustomed to solitude and endurance.]

[In the same year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level broke through to the third layer of the Divine Strength Realm!]

[In the thirteenth year, you were now able to control your emotions well, and you believed you had passed more than half of the trial of heart cultivation. But you, being naturally cautious, decided to secure your footing and did not rush to challenge the three trials.]

[Two years slipped by slowly, and your mindset became even more peaceful, gaining a deeper understanding of emotions like greed and arrogance.]

[In the fifteenth year, you reemerged into the real world, active once again in the public eye.]

[But this time, you donated all the wealth you had previously amassed: treasures and equipment were all given away without desire, as you devoted yourself solely to the Dao.]

[Your actions earned the praise of countless people, but you simply smiled at this, knowing that while their approval could please you, it could no longer shake your true nature.]

[In the sixteenth year, you felt you were fully prepared, and you began to get ready to break through the three trials!]

[On a fine, sunny morning, you returned to the Spirit Field Blessed Land and, ensuring no outsiders would disturb you, you initiated the third trial of the Divinity Transformation, the Greed Trial!]

[Your consciousness slowly sank into the Nascent Soul, and when you awoke again, you had become the most powerful and wealthy person in the world.]

[In this world, one-hundred percent of the wealth was controlled by one percent of the people, and your family was that one percent.]

[You had become the ultimate owner of the world!]

[All the wealth created by everyone belonged to you; looking around, every factory, building, and piece of land bore your name.]

[Your siblings indulged in all of this, believing they were born nobler than others.]

[You went along with the tide, immersing yourself in money and power every day.]

[But you always felt that you were different from those siblings, that the wealth they were obsessed with always seemed to lack something to you, leaving you somewhat uninterested.]

[Yet you could never quite grasp why you were different from them.]

[Until one day, when you saw a little girl rummaging for food in a garbage pile – those pure, beautiful blue eyes awakened your memory!]

[You realized you were within the illusion of the third trial of greed in the Divinity Transformation’s five trials!]

[When you realized this, the surrounding illusion slowly dissipated!]

[Congratulations on successfully overcoming the trial of greed in the Divinity Transformation’s five trials!]

Looking at the lengthy text before him, Su Xing let out a long sigh of relief and said with some surprise:

“I never expected that my simulated self would have such courage… To go through the trials, I actually began to cultivate my mindset in advance!”

At the same time, Su Xing also understood more about the rules for passing the Divinity Transformation’s five trials.

“So that’s how it is; the cultivator’s mindset in the real world can give some boost to oneself in the illusions!”

“Even though the memories are lost, the mindset remains… If the cultivator themselves is someone indifferent to fame and wealth, devoted to the Dao, the probability of passing the Divinity Transformation’s five trials is much greater!”

Su Xing had a realization; everything he did in the simulation indeed helped him better overcome the trial of greed.

“Then next, it should turn to the remaining trials of arrogance and anger, right? What kind of illusions will I face?”

Su Xing was curious, his gaze shifting to the simulation panel.

[After overcoming the trial of greed, you came out of the illusion and successfully returned to the real world.]

[As you stepped through the trials one by one, you felt a subtle change within yourself; your perception of nature’s spiritual energy became much stronger, and with a mere thought, you could manipulate it as though it was an extension of your limbs.]

[At the same time, you felt as if you had comprehended something indescribable, and after pondering, you believed that only by fully overcoming the five trials could you grasp this profound feeling.]

[So, after only three days of rest, you once again entered the fourth trial, the trial of arrogance!]

[Your consciousness slowly drifted away, and when you opened your eyes again, you had become the king of an empire!]

[The empire you ruled was the most powerful nation in the world, and every little country trembled at the slightest of your actions.]

[The fates of nations hung on your every mood!]

[You relished this sensation, the feeling of others grovelling at your feet.]

[But unexpectedly, one day, a vassal state under your rule dared to defy your command!]
