I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 195 Go? Stay!
"I know that many of you want me dead, but I won't give you that chance!"

Xiao Wuji sat high on the suspended throne, his eyes sweeping over the women with whom he had shared intimate moments. He felt a slight reluctance, but his expression grew increasingly disdainful.

"Your ability to break free from my supernatural powers is your good fortune, and I will not try to convert you again!"

"Because I don't want to be stabbed in the back by my own people again..."

"So, I'm giving you two choices."

"First, leave me. From now on, you will no longer need to listen to me. I will sever your cultivation, erase your memories, take away everything you obtained from me, send you to the lower realm, arrange a job for you, and let you live out your lives there!"

"Secondly, you will remain here. I will no longer convert you, but you must not disobey my will..."

"If you remain patient enough, you might have another chance to kill me in the future..."

"Now, it's time for you to make a choice: leave or stay? Those who choose to leave, come to the front..."

What was left for Xiao Wuji was silence. No one wants to be controlled by others forever, but similarly, after experiencing the view from the top, how many people are willing to return to their initial destitution?

Bibi Dong was willing to find a place to spend the rest of her days, but Qian Renxue wanted to stand at a higher vantage point and see more of the world. So Bibi Dong stayed, feeling only guilt towards Qian Renxue and wanting to protect her forever. Therefore, Hu Liena stayed, because Bibi Dong was now her only remaining family.

Zhu Zhuqing stayed because her past experiences made it impossible for her to pursue strength...

Zhu Zhuyun stayed. It didn't matter much to her who she depended on, as it had always been the case...

The Snow Empress stayed, because the immortality she had been pursuing for hundreds of thousands of years was now within reach. She had previously worshipped the Ice God, but now she worshipped her "master"...

So, Hyotei stayed...

Ning Rongrong stayed because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School still existed in Xiao Wuji's world, and relying on a strong person was something a support-type Soul Master should learn...

Ah Yin stayed behind. Her son had been possessed, and her husband was indifferent. Compared to the dark and damp cave, she preferred living in the sunlight. Besides, it was time for her to shoulder the responsibilities of a queen...

Many others, yearning for freedom, fell silent when they realized that leaving Xiao Wuji wouldn't improve their lives, but rather worsen them. It was as if they hadn't just been plotting with Bibi Dong to assassinate Xiao Wuji.

Finally, someone stepped forward, timidly walked to the front of the line, lowered his head, and dared not look at the figure in the sky.

Xiao Wuji glanced at her, then directly rejected the idea: "Of everyone present, you are the only one who cannot leave!"

"Why, why?"

Hearing that weak voice, Xiao Wuji almost laughed out of anger.

"Why? Because you and I have a grudge!"

"The others were all stolen by me to satisfy my inner desires, but you were only converted by me for revenge. Your third brother has been constantly causing me trouble!"

"I...I have nothing to do with Tang San..."

"Whether it's true or not isn't up to you to decide; it's Tang San's pain that matters! Besides, you're not even human anymore, just a puppet..."

Hearing Xiao Wuji say this, Xiao Wu also retreated sadly. She did not shed any tears; she had already cried all her tears!

Seeing this, Tang Yuehua and the other puppets stopped in their tracks and silently retreated to the back of the group. Like Xiao Wu, they were merely human puppets, inseparable from Tianxing. The other half of them would likely soon be transformed into human puppets.

Xiao Wuji seemed to offer two choices, but there was only one way to survive, and in the end, only one person was willing to die.

"Liu Erlong? That's right, Yu Xiaogang is always driven crazy by the two of us!"

Seeing Liu Erlong come out, even Xiao Wuji felt that she should come out. After all, "he" had acted somewhat outrageously back then, committing a crime in front of his wife, and "he" had even used his life force to keep Yu Xiaogang alive.

"Let me see, the other one is on the hundredth floor!"

Xiao Wuji reached out and grabbed another Liu Erlong from the hundredth level of the abyss. Back then, to reward her for making Yu Xiaogang so angry that he died, "he" had been very generous in making her the Abyss Emperor of the hundredth level.

"If you don't mind, let me have some fun before I leave?" Xiao Wuji asked, holding both Liu Erlongs in his arms at the same time, without any sincerity.

The two Liu Erlongs looked at the hands that were being extended to their chests and under their skirts, respectively, and said in unison, "Can I refuse?"

"Of course not! Before you leave, you are all my female slaves, and female slaves have no right to negotiate!" *Sizzle*

"Hmm, I even made these robes myself, so I can't let you wear them!"

……

One month later!
"Please, please, spare me! I won't leave, I really won't leave! I promise I'll behave from now on, I'll be your dog, woof woof..."

"Too late. You've already built this brothel for yourselves. My followers are still waiting for you to serve them..."

"Really, I really won't leave..." Looking at the endless crowd outside the door, both Liu Erlongs were terrified and desperately begged Xiao Wuji for mercy.

But Xiao Wuji simply wiped away their tears and comforted them, "Don't be afraid, you've already eaten the Heavenly Star Powder, you won't die!"

"You lied to me! You said you would send me to the mortal realm to make a proper living..." Liu Erlong roared hysterically. She had been trying to escape her suffering, but instead, she had fallen into an abyss.

Xiao Wuji grabbed the two men by the hair and slammed them to the ground, freeing himself from their struggle. Then, he said sternly, "Where did I lie to you? I told you on the first level of the Abyss that I was going to send you to the lower realm. Isn't the 108th level of the Abyss the lower realm?"

"Besides, when did I ever say it was a legitimate business? I only said I was finding you a way to make a living!"

"Sweethearts, it pains me to make you do this, but it's your own choice."

He used the 108th level of this abyss as a place of exile, leaving all those who had defied him in the spatial birdcage to fend for themselves. Now he has also left Liu Erlong here, opening a free brothel. Her fate is predictable.

As Xiao Wuji left, a shrill scream immediately followed behind him...

"Hmm, I have a feeling I've been cheated on!"

Hearing the screams behind him, Xiao Wuji unconsciously narrowed his senses; out of sight, out of mind.

Hearing Xiao Wuji's mutterings, Dugu Yan, as the emperor of the 108th floor, also felt a chill. Fortunately, she hadn't taken that step back then.

"Remember to cultivate diligently; I don't keep useless people around me!"

"Yes!"

……

After leaving the 108th floor, Xiao Wuji returned to the first floor. While enjoying the company of women on both sides, he also began to review his gains.

"The Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd inherently possesses spatial properties, and it's further enhanced by a perfected level Great Severing Technique. Even my Immortal Execution Sword might not be able to withstand it. It's just that the materials are a bit inferior, so close combat is probably out of the question unless some top-tier materials are incorporated..."

Of the several magical treasures he crafted, the one he valued most was the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd, because it was the only one that was the purest treasure for killing.

"The Book of Limitless Stars, formed from pure stellar power, can only be decomposed so that my second primordial spirit can cultivate the Great Star Technique..."

"The Azure Emperor Divine Tree, forged by incorporating the Tree of Life into the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Technique..."

"The Fire God Banner, forged by incorporating the Crimson Emperor's Fire Emperor Qi, emmm... Earth God Hammer, Water God Sword, Golden God Spear, the names are really quite random!"

"However, the resources for cultivating the Great Five Elements Technique in my second primordial spirit are now available..."

"Huh, a Black Hole Divine Bottle? Black holes can be used to cultivate the Great Devouring Technique? This seems to be a scientific field, doesn't it?"

"It seems that only the Great Origin Technique left nothing behind, since he couldn't possibly separate his nine seas of consciousness."

"The Six Desires Evil Dragon Miasma, the White Bone Relic, and the Five Elements Demonic Demons refined by the Five Elements Demonic Technique..."

"Well, I'll keep the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd. The names of the other items are simply not worthy of me!"

Xiao Wuji felt that "he" was terrible at naming things, and he felt ashamed to use such a magic weapon to fight with others.

"But this is what it feels like to have a cheat code! It saves me hundreds of thousands of years of arduous cultivation, unlike before when I was suffering so much..."
