Stronger from Earth-Chapter 73: Doing Bad Things

Wang Xuan pondered, still uncertain whether to enter the Buddhist Sect, weighing the options. However, his heart leaned toward Puji’s suggestion; perhaps within the Buddhist Sect, he could meet many like-minded individuals, beneficial for both his spiritual cultivation and cultivation level.

"Ha, that girl is back." Puji smiled and went to find Su Xiaowei again, still trying to win her favor, hoping to persuade the young girl to join the mountain as his disciple.

Su Xiaowei found the sight of this large bald head a bit strange: "Great Master, how come you are coming out of Uncle Wang’s place? Where is he?"

"Your Uncle Wang has attained enlightenment and is contemplating whether to join the Buddhist Sect for cultivation," Puji said.

Su Xiaowei was astonished: "How is that possible? Uncle Wang, how could he become a monk? He doesn’t even have a girlfriend, he’s the only son in his family, and he’s never had the idea of becoming a monk before.

I have to persuade him.

Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang, you’re still so young, why would you consider becoming a monk? Shaving your head won’t look good." Su Xiaowei shouted.

But Wang Xuan was immersed in thought, undisturbed.

"Forget it, let’s eat first. We can talk while eating; Xiaowei will surely persuade you."

Pulling them both back to her home, Xiaowei asked Su Qiubai to prepare two more dishes while she worked on persuading Wang Xuan.

But after just over ten minutes, her throat was dry and parched, while Wang Xuan simply listened, not speaking.

"I need some water; I’m exhausted," Su Xiaowei poured three cups of water, placing one in front of Wang Xuan.

She noticed that Wang Xuan’s aura was remarkably different; anyone in contact with him would let down their guard and wholly trust him, as if the person before her were truly an enlightened individual.

This change was incredibly miraculous, considering Wang Xuan seemed completely normal yesterday. Though she couldn’t pinpoint anything wrong, her heart felt this wasn’t the Uncle Wang she knew.

Puji smiled faintly; how could someone of Wang Xuan’s state of mind be swayed by mere words? He was already certain Wang Xuan would join the Buddhist Sect.

"Uncle Wang, have some water."

Wang Xuan nodded; he hadn’t consumed anything since last night. But in the instant he drank, it was as if a bolt of thunder struck his mind, shaking the heavens and unlocking the seal on his spirit.

His concealed true self instantly released, the main consciousness replacing the Glazed Realm consciousness to take control of his body.

"Who am I?"

"How did I end up here?"

"What am I doing?"

Wang Xuan, somewhat muddled, felt memories from last night flooding into his mind, everything suddenly clear in his heart.

He jumped up instantly: "Am I crazy?! Trying to save the world and become a monk? Is this still me?"

Wang Xuan couldn’t fathom why his spirit under the Glazed Realm would have such thoughts, feeling as if he wasn’t himself.

Luckily, he had prepared back-up plans, concealing his true self, numerous psychological cues causing a reflexive response upon encountering water, restoring his true self, immediately dominating, returning to himself.

He was incredibly relieved to have returned at this moment, otherwise, in a state of desirelessness, reaching the True Immortal Realm would still be a Pyrrhic victory.

Was I not myself? No matter how favorable the circumstances, they don’t belong to me because the true self is already dead.

At this moment, his aura dramatically changed from a revered monk with a strong spirit to a normal person with loves and hates, fond of wealth and beauty, possessing quite a few desires.

Such a change stunned not just Su Xiaowei but Puji as well - what was going on? Was he sleepwalking before, or had the Bodhisattva possessing him just left?

Su Xiaowei shouted aloud: "Uncle Wang, you’re back; you scared me just now. Xiaowei really thought you were going to become a monk."

Using his Dharma Eye, Puji observed and understood Wang Xuan’s state, realizing Wang Xuan was actually suffering from personality disorders. If this continued as his cultivation level increased, even his soul could split into multiple entities.

"How odd, I wondered why your change was so great." Puji said, although he didn’t know Wang Xuan’s condition was due to cultivating the Heart Spirit Demon Scripture.

If he knew, he would be even more astonished - achieving the Glazed Realm overnight is truly miraculous.

"Scared you, didn’t I? I’ve suffered from personality disorders since childhood; the one appearing before you just now was my truest, kindest, and most beautiful side. Old Master, please don’t persuade him to join the mountain gate, I won’t agree."

Wang Xuan was still fearful; he had nearly entered the Buddhist Sect.

But now he was worried, the will under the Glazed Realm could emerge anytime, controlling his body.

And that will is incredibly strong, the main controlling force of his soul power, now knowing that his main conscious would jump out, it will certainly try to suppress the true self, eliminate this presence full of desires and cluttered thoughts.

If so, he might truly become another person.

"Of course, no pressure; should you wish to become a monk one day, Precious Light Temple’s gate is always open for you." Puji didn’t force, leaving everything to happen naturally.

Wang Xuan felt his head splitting, unable to suppress the other will, his true self showing signs of hiding within minutes.

"What to do?"

Even though encountering water could break his heart’s seal naturally, over time, this method would fail.

"Cultivate the second stage of the Divine Demon Realm, the True Demon Realm, achieving balance between the two selves; then the true self won’t be annihilated, allowing progress to the third stage of the Divine Demon Realm, merging divinity with demon nature, making the heart one."

Wang Xuan’s brain raced, now understanding just how remarkably adept it had become after achieving the Glazed Realm.

In merely a few hours, under the Glazed Realm, he read extensive scriptures, spent five hours comprehending and creating the Demon-Suppressing Fist from Elder He’s notes, and grasped the Buddhist Sect’s Six-Word Mantra in just an hour.

Such performance is, absolutely, the ability of top-tier geniuses with monstrous intuition and special physiques.

Yet, after cultivating the spirit, making it strong, he actually achieved this level! The Heart Spirit Demon Scripture’s power is truly beyond words.

"Except," Wang Xuan bitterly smiled to himself, "cultivating this cultivation technique really does present a lot of problems."

"Better return, personality conversion is truly unbearable, requiring adjustment, see you later." Wang Xuan hurriedly left.

Returning to his bedroom, Wang Xuan’s brain felt flooded with water, ready to explode, with the suppressed Glazed Realm spirit resisting, the main consciousness vastly weaker in comparison.

He instantly summoned the Summoning Accelerator, preparing to cultivate the first level of the Heart Spirit Demon Scripture, the True Demon Realm of the Divine Demon Realm.

"Limit of the Divine Demon Realm’s Glazed Realm (cannot accelerate)."

Upon summoning the accelerator, Wang Xuan saw this line on his interface, his heart growing anxious.

"For the second level of the Divine Demon Realm, I choose to directly improve to the True Demon Realm level!" Wang Xuan couldn’t find the acceleration button.

Suddenly, a personal dashboard prompt appeared: "No entry into True Demon Realm of Divine Demon Realm (cannot accelerate)."

Wang Xuan was desperate, shouting internally, "Impossible, the Glazed Realm and Divine Demon Realm are of the same level; before cultivating the Glazed Realm, I already entered the Divine Demon Realm!"

One activates one’s divinity, the other activates one’s demon nature, both using the same method.

Reflecting on this, Wang Xuan immediately realized that while cultivating the Glazed Realm, the process of activating divinity suppressed and cleared a multitude of negative emotions, and now with the divinity condensed so massively, further hindering the True Demon Realm’s cultivation.

"Demon nature, I need to activate demon nature, enhancing anger, aggression, greed, fury, and murderous emotions, letting my desires surge to achieve the entry conditions."

But just as Wang Xuan entertained this thought, he felt extremely uncomfortable, instinctively resisting; evidently, his own divinity interfered with his true self.

But feeling this state, Wang Xuan increasingly felt he might become another person, and if the true self perishes, he is no longer truly himself but merely a collection of divinity, with only thoughts of truth, goodness, and beauty.

Gluttony, lust, greed, fury, sloth, sorrow, arrogance, pride, jealousy - all these can trigger demon nature.

Suddenly Wang Xuan started ordering take-out, ordering a large quantity of gourmet food, while incessantly drinking water to stimulate alertness.

Eating, binge eating and drinking, Wang Xuan consumed quickly, attempting to stimulate desire. But the True Demon Realm still hadn’t entered, far from feeling desperate hunger; triggering by food wasn’t effective.

He considered how best to stimulate demon nature; the primal desires of survival and reproduction are undoubtedly powerful to him.

He hadn’t reached a point of desperate struggle, his physical health optimal, leaving only the pursuit of lust.

"Heavens, send a woman to tempt me!" Wang Xuan prayed.

But such asking is as difficult as a single dog beseeching heaven for a girlfriend to descend.

"If that’s not feasible, there’s only one way left." Wang Xuan took a deep breath and spoke to his personal terminal: "Number One, I want to watch Xiaohuangshu, really explicit and violent ones!"

Instantly, Number One replied: "Based on the owner’s preferences, Number One has searched the platform and found three million Xiaohuangshu books, with over a billion clicks for one hundred thousand, please choose freely."

Starting one book, Wang Xuan’s eyes widened, watching intently, without a hint of relaxation.
