[This cycle has ended, settlement in progress, please wait.]

[This reincarnation's evaluation: Like a peak, like a madman.]

[Reward: 1000 points]

【The available entries are as follows】

[Short Path, Selfless Forgetfulness (Blue): You are wholeheartedly close to the Great Dao, selflessly pursuing the truth. Comprehension +30, Reason -20]

[Dao Xin Ming (false): You have a Dao heart, but unfortunately it is not innate. Your comprehension ability is greatly enhanced, but you are also very prone to misunderstandings.]

[Settlement completed, memory fuzzy processing in progress, processing completed]

Li Ming was in a trance and finally came out of the indescribable madness. He didn't expect that this time of obsession would last for so long. After being awakened, Li Ming fell into a semi-crazy state, sometimes in a state of madness, sometimes forgetting himself, but at the same time, his skills became stronger day by day, and he almost reached a kind of inhuman state. He even opened up a total of 108 acupoints by instinct alone. He could stir up the wind and clouds with just a gesture of his hands. There was also a broken mark formed in his dantian.

However, when Li Ming was sober, he realized that if he wanted to complete the construction of the tower, he would have to go completely crazy. Moreover, it contained tremendous power. If he had an attack when he was crazy, it would be very harmful.

In order to avoid causing too much harm, Li Ming would try his best to stay away from people when he was awake and stop practicing, but he still caused a lot of disasters.

"The Return to Zhen Sutra is really poisonous. Tsk tsk, it seems that I can't practice it randomly. Once the foundation is wrong, it will be extremely difficult to correct the mistakes later." Although he had expected it, Li Ming still shuddered and felt a sense of fear when he thought of the cold and ruthless state in this reincarnation.

Although I want to cultivate Taoism and become an immortal, if I abandon all emotions and become a cold-blooded robot immortal or go completely crazy, that is not what I want.

Afterwards, looking at this entry, Li Ming was a little speechless.

Why is it linked to rationality? The system is mocking me every time I go crazy, right?

After exchanging the two entries [Medical Master (Blue)] and [Poisonous Heart Master (Green)], Li Ming looked at [Near Path to Selflessness (Blue)] and [Clarity of Dao Heart (Fake)] and fell into deep thought. No matter how he looked at it, they were negative effects. Forget it, let's put them aside for now.

[Evaluation: A slightly prestigious monk with a mysterious origin and extraordinary strength]

Points: 801

Although I didn't get any substantial attribute growth this time, I did get two entries, one blue and one green, related to medical skills and poison skills, which can be considered a gain.

Of course, the greatest reward wasn't these, but the exploration of the path beyond Xiantian. Besides the 108 acupoints he'd opened after going half-crazy, and the accumulated martial arts knowledge of the entire world over the past three hundred years, Li Ming had already learned the ins and outs of over 180 acupoints. This surpassed the foundation of a Xiantian-level powerhouse, and could even cultivate a powerful being at the level of a supernatural being. So, am I crazy?
Recalling what he had done in this reincarnation, Li Ming fell into deep thought.

"Crazy, but not completely crazy."

"It's like I've lost myself, or maybe I've become too self-centered, treating the world as my plaything, as a tool to realize my dreams, and losing my original intention!"

Reading this, Li Ming's heart moved. He knew that the ruthless path he had deduced was successful, but he could not accept the result. Instead, it seemed that the pure path of true self was more suitable for him.

"When did it start? My mindset in the cycle of reincarnation has changed. Is it because I've gone astray and see all living beings as playthings, or is it because I don't believe from the bottom of my heart that the people in the cycle of reincarnation are not lives but just a game, that's why I've gone astray?"

"To me, after leaving the cycle of reincarnation, this is just a virtual game world. But when I immerse myself in it, they are clearly real, living people with flesh and blood. Today I can treat them like ants in the cycle of reincarnation, and tomorrow I can treat their lives like grass. This kind of mentality is absolutely unacceptable!!!"

Thinking of this, Li Ming sounded the alarm for himself again, and recited a passage of the Heart Sutra to calm himself down, as if using the wisdom of the Buddha to illuminate his heart.

"The Buddha is the enlightened being, transcending all living things. Compassion is part of human nature. Everyone has compassion, sympathy for the weak, and when it is magnified to the state of compassion for all, it becomes the Buddha nature. If one can maintain compassion and put it into action, they are the living Buddhas. However, greed and killing desire, when magnified to a certain degree, become the so-called demonic nature. Like me, I have almost fallen into the demonic path. Essentially, my desires are not controlled by my heart, and I am addicted to them and cannot extricate myself."

"Good and evil, right and wrong, are all within a single thought, existing within the heart. If one can look beyond the surface and understand the inner essence, then one will find the true essence. This is the true meaning."

In a flash of thought, Li Ming gained enlightenment and opened his eyes in the dilapidated temple. He had already achieved the third level of "Return to the Truth Sutra"!
As for the fourth level, it is not advisable to forget about emotions. The path to the true self is right in front of you, but Li Ming dare not make a hasty conclusion on whether it is perfect. He has just calmed his mind and has not acted hastily.

Just as Li Ming was smiling, a voice came from his ears.

"There seems to be a place to shelter from the rain ahead."

"Go quickly, go quickly."

Li Ming raised his eyebrows, shook his head and said "Amitabha."

Sure enough, a group of people soon pushed open the door of the mountain temple.

The leader was a tall and thin middle-aged man. When he saw Li Ming sitting cross-legged by the fire, he stepped forward and greeted him.

"Young Master, we encountered heavy rain while traveling here, and we would like to borrow a place from you to rest. Please be kind."

Li Ming saw that they all carried swords and knives, and were dressed in tight clothes, looking like people from the martial arts world. He didn't care. He had just made a gain and was very happy. He didn't want to make things difficult for others. He just nodded and said, "I just came a moment earlier than you. Please feel free to do as you please."

The man bowed slightly and said thank you, then asked the others to set up. Among the large group of men were two women, one simple and elegant, the other lively. Judging from their clothes, they seemed to be master and servant, but their attitude was very close, even better than sisters.

Just when Li Ming thought that the night would pass like this, something unexpected happened.

ps: Actually, the inner thoughts of the protagonist in this chapter want to express a sense of growth. The protagonist Li Ming must grow and cannot remain unchanged. This is also a process of my own thinking. It is about the protagonist's behavior patterns and ways of dealing with things. They will change as the plot progresses and the events experienced. Although I can also directly say what the protagonist's personality is like after experiencing reincarnation.

But I still want to write about this transformation bit by bit, and I don’t want to directly create a very flat character and label him. I want to write a more complex character. It may be thankless, but this is what I want to write.
