The Great Seminary

Chapter 195 Great Kindness
Having lived two lives, Zhang Gui often incorporates elements of his previous life's technological and cultural advancements into his speech, making it sound cryptic but revealing profound truths upon closer examination.

Tao Yaoyao couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"You've thought things through quite clearly. No wonder you're a true seed of wisdom, so insightful indeed."

Then one can naturally understand the principle that "those who walk different paths cannot make plans together".

If you encounter someone particularly stubborn and obstinate, they might kill you over a single disagreement.

Zhang Gui was startled and asked in disbelief:

"Isn't this kind of obsession just insane? How can someone achieve anything with that?"

"This is what they mean by 'no madness, no life.'"

Actually, look at my senior brother Yin, look at me, and then look at yourself.

In the eyes of ordinary people, aren't his actions considered fanatical and insane?

Everyone's just obsessed for different reasons.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Gui thought of Mr. Yin and Tao Yaoyao guarding Fresh Velvet Island, where they had secretly killed millions of living people in order to obtain fresh souls.

Although he wasn't an accomplice, after the other party took the soul, he happily accepted the remaining corpse.

To ordinary people, they are probably far more terrifying than Mr. Yin and his fellow disciples Tao Yaoyao, who are hiding behind the scenes.

For a moment, they were speechless.

Tao Yaoyao continued, "I originally wanted to bring you into the sect, but now I have to give up this true seed because of reality."

To compromise with a stupid, mortal creature like a pig or a dog.

Now I can only teach you to be good, so you don't go astray.

Remember, whether it's discovering divine clusters or cultivating techniques.

It's basically just the ubiquitous "body, mind, and spirit" trinity.

The body is composed of Qi and blood, which originate from the liver.
The heart is the vital energy, which originates from the lungs;
The spirit is the primordial spirit, which originates from the brain.

Whether the mind is primary and the spirit is secondary, or vice versa, both can be combined.
The same applies to the body and mind; as well as the spirit and soul.

In particular, the combination of the two treasures, 'God' and 'Spirit', because they implicitly contain the words 'God' and 'Spirit', sometimes receives some blessings from the Heavenly Dao and achieves a mysterious harmony.

Furthermore, and most importantly, if you want to achieve greater success in the future, or in other words, if you want a future, never be greedy and try to earn all three at once.

Otherwise, a terrible calamity will surely befall you.

Of course, if it's not a foundational technique, then a divine cultivation method would be better.

However, striking the right balance is extremely difficult, and a wise person would make a decision early on.

Zhang Gui was startled.

The divine script within him that connects all the divine entities is the four characters 'Three Perfections'.

The eight main divine clusters also cover the three treasures of 'body, mind, and spirit' and the three major domains of qi and blood, qi energy, and primordial spirit.

I've always been able to handle it with ease, and I haven't felt anything unusual.

But if you say Tao Yaoyao lied to him, she's such a 'superior' expert compared to Zhang Guigao, she wouldn't bother to lie to a little ant.

If there's a real grudge, just kill them.

"Therefore, Master Tao's warning must have been well-intentioned."

She felt like a 'Zhu-ism' from a past life, or a 'real-life chauvinist' in this world.

I am essentially a cub of the same 'Zhu' as her, so naturally I have a certain level of affinity with her.

That's why she inexplicably came to me to try and build some kind of good relationship.

Having made the most realistic deduction in his mind, Zhang Gui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I asked one last question.
"Master Tao, what kind of strange calamity would I attract if I accidentally 'earn all three treasures'?"

The ancient book, *Journey to the West*, states...

"To earn the three treasures together is an extraordinary way, seizing the creation of heaven and earth, and immersing oneself in the mysteries of the sun and moon, which even ghosts and gods cannot tolerate."

First, a lightning strike will descend from the sky to kill you, but you will not die;
Even if a fire falls from the sky and burns you, you will not die;

If a sudden windstorm blows you away and you still don't die, then you will be tormented by inner demons every day for sixty years.

Then a lightning strike will come down and kill you… but you still won’t die… your inner demons will invade you every day… the cycle repeats endlessly. Isn’t that terrifying?”

"Is it really that ruthless to exterminate them all?!" Zhang Gui couldn't help but shudder upon hearing this.

In short, you'd better take care of yourself.

No matter how powerful Tao Yaoyao was, she couldn't read Zhang Gui's mind, so naturally she didn't know that he had almost reached the 'Three Treasures Perfection' stage at the very beginning of his Divine Refinement.

Thinking Zhang Gui was arrogant and didn't take his warning seriously, he said sternly, "You should know that there are countless geniuses in the world..."

Even among the thirty-three conditions for becoming a 'True Person,' only one or two exceptional talents who meet all of them will emerge every hundred to thirty or fifty years.

However, those who survived by "earning all three treasures" are said to have died out after the end of the Middle Ages.

Because 'Heaven's will' forbids it!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Gui immediately felt that his 'preciousness' had increased by thousands or even tens of thousands of levels.

The phrase "the tallest tree in the forest" is no longer sufficient to describe him; he is only one in a thousand, one in ten thousand, in terms of excellence.

At the same time, the possibility of 'the wind will surely push it' has increased by thousands or tens of thousands of times!
"I see."

Trying to suppress his excitement, Zhang Gui nodded vigorously and said earnestly:

"Then I will definitely be extra careful and attentive."

Tao Yaoyao vaguely sensed Zhang Gui's unusual behavior and casually asked:
"Kid, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly so panicked?"

"This young man comes from the mortal world, and is not even considered a big fish among frogs in a well."

I only learned today from a true person that I have met four of the thirty-three conditions for becoming a 'true person'.

Just as he was feeling pleased with himself, the master suddenly said that there was actually a peerless talent in the world who had everything he needed to achieve.

It's hard not to feel a bit like I've inexplicably 'stumbled'.

"Haha, in a short while I realized that I was indeed as I thought, a genius."

But he also realized that his "strange" abilities weren't actually that great.

Feeling a mix of joy and sorrow in one's heart, you probably don't know whether it's happiness or sadness.

This is actually quite natural.

I was the same way back then.

Therefore, I will tell you some more life lessons.

People with extraordinary talents like you and me are one in ten thousand, and many others have wasted their lives or died young.

In the face of fierce competition, it is already extremely fortunate to stand out; to harbor any resentment is simply a sign of dissatisfaction.

Therefore, the best approach is to keep moving forward steadily, without being overjoyed or sad.

There may very well be a time in the future when my greatest wish will be fulfilled!

After saying that, Tao Yaoyao breathed a long sigh of relief, as if she had finally fulfilled a wish.

"I share these words with you for mutual encouragement."

I remember that I am a true disciple of the ancient sect 'Dai Luo' and the 'Walking in the Human World' of the Eastern Ghost Gate.

His Buddhist name was 'Shen Tu Zi'.

The Dharma names of powerful figures from ancient sects in Dongsheng Continent are like the 'real names' of legendary figures in Xihe Continent; speaking of them evokes a sense of connection.

It's much more formal than the name given to you by your parents at birth.

Although Zhang Gui did not understand such extraordinary knowledge, he could sense the solemnity in his voice.

He quickly and sincerely returned the gesture with his hands clasped in greeting:

"I am Zhang Gui, a descendant of the ancient Kuafu, and a descendant of the Stone Corpse Barbarian God, from the Great Stone Venus of the Central Plains. I thank the True Man Shen Tu Zi for his mercy."

There will be retribution someday.

"This is a great thing to say."

Tao Yaoyao smiled slightly, her figure becoming ethereal as she disappeared into the night.
