Chapter 463: King Yanfu 2

“Yes.”

“Ridding yourself of the curse by simply killing your other selves is all but impossible.”

“A full million years have passed since the Yin-Yang Macrocosm’s complete era gave way to the current Chaotic Era.”

“Yet in all that million years, not a single living being has ever managed to kill every one of their other selves.”

“Gathering every scrap of information. Completing the self.”

Jian Wuming answered in a low voice. “So we gathered together, searching for a way to wipe out all the other selves at once.”

Lin Qi perked up, immediately assuming the posture of one all ears.

But Jian Wuming did not continue. Instead, he suddenly raised his head and glanced upward.

Lin Qi followed his gaze.

There, coiled above them at some point, was the illusory shadow of a primordial spirit — the yao beast called Diting.

“Make a wish.”

“You still haven’t made your wish.”

Diting’s primordial spirit phantom spoke, its gaze falling upon the faint glimmer swirling around Lin Qi’s fingertip.

Lin Qi’s heart stirred. He said to Jian Wuming, “So the Blood Oath isn’t finished yet?”

“Sorry. Old Lin, it’s not that I don’t trust you.”

“It’s mainly just to guard against any mishaps.”

Jian Wuming explained, “You use that other-self opportunity to make a wish. Once you do, Diting can fully confirm your identity.”

Lin Qi rubbed the faint glimmer at his fingertip, with no mind to play the contrarian.

He went along with it and crushed the glimmer.

In the next instant, a strand of information surged into Lin Qi’s mind.

It let him know that he could use this so-called other-self opportunity to make a single wish.

A wish, it was called.

But really, it was more like obtaining a single chance at sudden enlightenment.

He could gain the blessing of a Comprehension Aura on certain matters, including but not limited to cultivation, solving riddles, and seeking out certain hidden secrets.

On the surface, it seemed a bit worthless.

But suppose a person could keep obtaining these other-self opportunities.

Then it was equivalent to continuous enlightenment-style cultivation.

Even an ordinary person.

Under such sustained enlightenment, they would likely grow swiftly from a mere mortal into a Yin Spirit, the force representing the greatest power in the Yin-Yang Macrocosm.

And so Lin Qi suddenly understood how that self-detonating Cyclops had, in just a short hundred years, overtaken those ahead of him.

How, in cultivation realm, he had instead surpassed Lin Qi, the true body, by a margin.

But it likewise meant this.

If Lin Qi did not concern himself with those other selves.

Then as time passed, and the other selves slaughtered one another.

Thousands upon thousands of Cyclopes would appear throughout the Yin-Yang Macrocosm.

Thinking of this, Lin Qi could not help but shudder.

It’s still a cultivation opportunity, in the end. Don’t waste it.
