Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 989 Chapter 989 Anchors

Zhuo Bufan said, "When facing outsiders, I can be ruthless and disregard everything. But when facing them, I will always be my most vulnerable self!"

"Leaving this place with them to avenge our ancestors is a seed planted in my heart! I fight for this, I gain power for this, and my martial arts cultivation and future advancement all require finding a balance between these two goals. If I care too much, it will become a shackle, making it difficult to break through!" Zhuo Bufan said, "On the other hand, if I don't care enough, I will lose my original intention, and the corrupting power within me will expand!"

“You need to find a balance in your mindset!” Zhuo Bufan said. “It seems that you haven’t found your balance right now.”

Upon hearing Zhuo Bufan's words, Ye Qing's entire body trembled slightly.

Equilibrium point?

"Of course, external forces are also very important!" Zhuo Bufan said, flipping his right hand to take out an exquisite box!

He handed the box to Ye Qing and said, "This is something my ancestor asked me to give you. It's a Bodhi fruit."

"Bodhi fruit?" Ye Qing's expression shifted.

"Hmm!" Zhuo Bufan said, "Bodhi fruits are extremely rare even in the universe. Bodhi trees are rare to begin with, and there aren't many of them in the entire universe. They can only survive under specific conditions. As for Bodhi fruits, they mature once every three thousand years. Each Bodhi fruit contains an enormous amount of energy and can even allow people to enter a state of sudden enlightenment!"

"With this energy, breaking through to immortality shouldn't be too much of a problem for you!" Zhuo Bufan said. "But you still need to understand what I just said. Only then can your future martial arts path be smooth. Right now, you can keep improving with your pure talent, but if you can't find the right balance, it will become increasingly difficult for you to improve in the future. Martial arts is, after all, a process of cultivating the mind!"

Ye Qing's eyes held a hint of confusion; Zhuo Bufan's words gave him a strange feeling.

"Alright, that's all I have to say!" Zhuo Bufan said, "By the way, Ye Qing, regarding the power of cause and effect, you have about four more days before you have to leave, and this place will once again enter a sealed state."

"Okay!" Ye Qing nodded.

"Then I'll be leaving now. Think it over carefully!" Zhuo Bufan said.

Wait until Zhuo Bufan leaves!

Ye Qing's eyes became somewhat blank again.

"The balance between martial arts and mental state?" Ye Qing murmured.

What sustains his cultivation? It is the pursuit of freedom, and also the pursuit of freedom for the Earth.

Looking back now, Ye Qing realized that his mindset had indeed undergone many changes since the crisis in the Goddess Galaxy was resolved.

The Earth is no longer in crisis and is now gradually developing.

Although his progress after becoming a Star Lord wasn't slow, it could even be described as extremely fast.

However, just as Zhuo Bufan said, his mindset underwent some changes at this time.

Before the crisis in the Goddess Galaxy is resolved, Ye Qing's heart is with the entire Earth.

However, after the events in the Goddess Galaxy concluded, Ye Qing's mindset did indeed undergo some changes.

After Earth stabilized, Ye Qing no longer felt the urgency for Earth's safety. The biggest reason for his improvement was the pressure from the Heavenly Court.

Of course, he wasn't that concerned. Even this time, he had come to the Genius Battle because Big Yellow Dog had tricked him into coming and promised him a way out. So, although he was a little worried, he wasn't that worried.

The Heavenly Court might hunt him down later.

But the universe is so vast, how could it be discovered so easily!

Ye Qing felt that his biggest problem was a lack of awareness of crisis.

Although he was worried that he might not be able to beat Chen Sixue and her group if they encountered them later.

But he has a badge, so he can just leave early!

Everything was his way out.

Furthermore, having broken through to the peak of the extraordinary realm, he has improved significantly, which has greatly enhanced his ability to protect himself.

But upon closer reflection, it seems that whether it was his breakthrough to the extraordinary realm or his subsequent advancement, he relied on external forces. His breakthrough to the extraordinary realm was due to the powerful force provided by the solar essence flame.

Later, he relied on the energy provided by the Marrow Cleansing Pool and the small black tower.

Even this time, his advancement was due to a large amount of Transcendent Pills and the terrifying energy of heaven and earth in this place.

His own maturity and composure are lacking!

This kind of accumulation is not only the accumulation after the improvement of martial arts, but also the accumulation of understanding of martial arts, state of mind... in all aspects!

Looking at the Bodhi tree ahead, Ye Qing remained silent for a moment before saying, "Indeed, relying too much on external forces to break through is not a good thing. My current situation is because my foundation is too weak, including my previous swordsmanship and other skills!"

"What I've learned is quite diverse, including swordsmanship, saber techniques, and even special skills, which now number five or six. It takes a lot of time to accumulate and refine them. Now, constantly relying on external forces has caused many changes in my state of mind!" Ye Qing murmured.

At this point, Ye Qing slowly closed his eyes and said, "In fact, from the moment I was unable to draw my sword in that sword energy corridor, I should have understood many things. Only with a solid foundation can a towering building rise from the ground!"

"What I seek has never been personal freedom. I also bear the burden of Earth's crisis. As I improve, I am very close to immortality, and Qianyu has also broken through to the immortal realm!" Ye Qing said, "I think that it would be difficult for civilizations below the fifth level, or even the sixth level, to launch an attack on Earth. My sense of crisis is decreasing!"

"My anchor is the endless family and friends on Earth. What I seek is not just my own freedom!" Ye Qing murmured. "I don't want to interfere with how other civilizations develop, nor do I want to redefine the rules of the entire universe in the future, but!"

Ye Qing said, "I hope that no one can bully Earth, no one can bully my relatives and friends, and that everyone who enters Earth will treat ordinary people with respect!"

"And I, in dealing with others, am the same! I... am ultimately a human born of Earth, and no matter what, I should still be a kind person!" Ye Qing murmured to himself, "For this goal, whoever stands in my way will be swept away, and the Heavenly Court is no exception!"

Thinking of this, Ye Qing slowly exhaled, his eyes gradually becoming clearer. Then he closed his eyes, and from the center of the world, countless energies were surging towards him.
