Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Chapter 320 Before it lies an endless realm

The moment Zhu Wuyao entered the Purple Qi Mystic Realm, Shen Xun was forcibly logged out.

He saw too many scenes, and key moments in his life's choices flashed by.

It seems that no one was ever given a chance to look back.

Therefore, after opening his eyes, Shen Xun remained unusually silent.

He didn't even think about how to explain it to Senior Brother Shen, nor did he consider the consequences of his blatant act of stealing someone else's opportunity.

But instead of him seeking out people, someone else approached him.

Zhang Zhihan.

I've never had any dealings with this Senior Brother Zhang before, so I'm a little cold towards him.

Now they've come looking for us...

“I misjudged you.” Zhang Zhihan walked up to him and continued:

"Before, I thought you were a hypocrite, seemingly flawless but actually having no reason to do evil."

"Good deeds are merely a means for you to display your nobility; fame is just a beautiful garment that makes you think you are superior, so people despise you."

"But I never expected that you would be such a magnanimous person who doesn't hold grudges. Even with the benefit in sight, you still chose to risk your life and replace Junior Sister Zhu."

"So, I'm here to apologize to you. I shouldn't have been prejudiced against you before."

After saying that, he smiled gently and nodded to Shen Xun.

Turn around and leave.

This was the first time Zhang Zhihan had spoken so much to Shen Xun and had been so gentle in his attitude.

But Shen Xun was not moved at all.

This is hardly a compliment; it's blatant mockery...

Shen Xun had long known that Senior Brother Zhang's way of looking at problems was different from ordinary people, but those words just now were like a resounding slap in the face.

He slowly exhaled and calmed down again.

if not?

When an opportunity arises, shouldn't we first show each other humility? If morality is useful, what's the point of cultivating one's character?

Song Kezi was in a particularly bad mood.

He happened to be passing by and, seeing Shen Xun's calm expression, was particularly displeased and directly mocked him:

"Who do we have here? It's Junior Brother Shen, who acted like a villain in public and didn't get any opportunities at all!"

Shen Xun's hard-won "corrected" Dao heart cracked once again.

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Although Zhu Wuyao knew that "Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun" could not be used continuously, he did not linger too long after entering the Purple Qi Mystic Realm.

She found Zhu Wuyao, who was pawning items after entering the world of cultivation, merged her consciousness with his, and made the same choice.

Subsequently, the scenarios that allowed for other choices crumbled one by one.

All that remains is this definite decision.

Then they headed north, accepted the wooden plaque, were led to Nanli City, had their fortune told and stayed, and entered the Star-Picking Tower...

All past events are settled.

As she made her choice, aligning the deduced path with reality, all the other superfluous elements dissipated, leaving only an unalterable and unambiguous trajectory.

until--

Zhu Wuyao, from the scenario depicted, stands here with her.

They are facing a choice about what lies ahead.

There is no turning back afterward, and endless possibilities ahead.

She needs to make another choice, and once she takes that step, the opportunity will come her way.

After eliminating the superfluous, Ziqi finally had enough computing power to deduce what kind of future different choices would lead to.

The deduction of purple aura can only show key scenes, and the time span is limited.

She foresaw the ending where "Zhu Wuyao becomes a personal disciple," and in fact, this was the most likely outcome.

However, Zhu Wuyao looked towards the path where she hadn't become a direct disciple, and slightly held her breath—

A small statue appeared on that road.

It wasn't the appearance of Guihua Xian, but rather the appearance of Ji Yuezhang sleeping with her eyes closed.

It seems that...only someone who has personally seen the face of a sleeping person can carve this wooden sculpture.

It's just a fragment.

It quickly flashed past my eyes.

Then she left the Star-Picking Tower alone, her destination unknown, thus missing out on the position of a personal disciple.

They must have received the news, so they were willing to miss the selection of the Star-Picking Tower's personal disciples in order to set off immediately.

At the crucial junctures surrounding the "Auspicious Purple Aura," different choices will lead to different outcomes. Her primary choices are—

The majority of people chose to seize the opportunity directly and avoid causing trouble.

After seizing the opportunity, he used Shen Xun's actions to cause trouble and ruin his reputation.

Go out and show off, to upset Shen Xun;

Keep a low profile and pretend you don't understand, so as not to attract attention or be targeted by petty people like Song Kezi.

……

However, there is only one route that leads to Ji Yuezhang's clues.

This means that the chances of her making a corresponding decision regarding the Purple Qi opportunity are very small. It's only slightly greater than the probability of her directly giving up the Purple Qi.

To embark on this path, you need to be a little crazy—

"Because I felt guilty, I shared the opportunity of the Purple Qi with Shen Xun in order to clear my conscience."

Some degree of mental confusion is required.

Anyone with a modicum of sense wouldn't have made such a choice.

It seems that Shen Xun's comprehension of the purple energy indirectly led him to obtain the information. No wonder... there was only one path that led to Ji Yuezhang's trail.

She went to great lengths to contain the crisis within the Star-Picking Tower, precisely to prevent the ambush from taking place outside the tower.

To avoid implicating Ji Yuezhang or others in the search for the missing person due to personal grudges.

Of all these people, the one she was most wary of was Shen Xun.

It was only with great difficulty that we managed to suppress his "power," and even his attempt to steal the opportunity of the purple aura failed.

Now they're telling her that if she wants to get information about Ji Yuezhang, she has to share the purple energy with him and turn enemies into friends?

No wonder the odds are so low, no wonder there's only one path leading to this outcome.

This not only requires her to be mentally unstable, but also to suddenly lose her train of thought.

Zhu Wuyao took several deep breaths.

She looked at the scene that appeared on the road—

Alone, I embark on my journey.

If Ji Yuezhang's news is truly related to Shen Xun, it's likely that he either used this to blackmail him or offered his position as a personal disciple in exchange for the information.

Therefore, after returning to the Star-Picking Tower, he was unable to obtain the position of a personal disciple and left alone.

Such speculation... is quite logical.

Purple Qi is merely a "deduction," which involves analyzing known information, substituting different key variables, and speculating on different results.

Unlike the laws of nature, which are predetermined and beyond human control, they do not possess the ability to detect and correct errors.

For example, the scene of someone carrying a sword and walking alone looks somewhat lonely.

But if you've come this far, and suddenly feel like staying at the Star-Picking Tower for a few more days, or want to bring other friends along, that's perfectly fine.

Ultimately, Ziqi's deductions are all based on judgments made according to her behavioral patterns.

Perhaps... if she had known these things in advance, she could have changed the future; or perhaps it was all predetermined, and they would have come to this point anyway.

Having missed this opportunity, how much longer will she have to search?
