Transcending the Nine Heavens

cheming plots, cruel acts and manipulative moves were qualities which Chu Yang lacked previously but could be necessary to trump the martial world.
Although unethical, they were invaluable in a world which worshipped the powerful.

In times of cruelty, even great men had to be cruel.
Vicious schemes had to be plotted in times of necessity!

The reason was straightforward.
These traits could protect oneself.
If one could not even defend oneself, then one could simply stop dreaming of achieving great feats.
It would be tantamount to fighting fire with one ’s bare hands.

Empires could change; people could transform.
But one thing always remained true.
To leave a lasting legacy was undeniably much harder than leaving a bad reputation.
Therefore, the good had to sacrifice so much more than the malignant.
Few were able to leave a good legacy in history.
In fact, there were not many who had successfully left their name in history.

Furthermore, there were a few trump cards which Chu Yang could not reveal yet.
If others had known about his true strength, he would face a multitude of problems, especially from those scrutinizing the top disciple position.
Once they knew that a genius had suddenly appeared amongst other geniuses, the newcomer would easily become the target of sabotage and attacks.

”If I ever become the target of everyone ’s threats, I will certainly face a tragic end even if I had three heads and six arms! ”

With such potential repercussions hanging overhead, it was fortunate that Shi Qianshan was around to share his burden.
Dumping everything to him had been enjoyable indeed!

Running the show oneself was certainly draining.
It felt great to be able to enjoy the entertainment as a bystander!

Chu Yang also realized something important.
He still lacked many things.
Moreover, the path that he chose should be different from his previous life.
In his previous life, he cultivated Sword Art in the absence of love and emotions.
Technically, It was possible to cultivate in seclusion without attending to other aspects of life.
However, Chu Yang decided that this time should be different.

”Ever since my previous life ended, I had already walked down a different path! ”

”I must have a taste of all the things I have missed and ignored in my previous life! In the past, I knew nothing but to value honour and integrity. ”

”I must no longer hide like before.
I must live life the fullest.
From the earth, I shall rise.
Only then can I attain the pinnacle of Sword Art.
Only then will I understand the Way of the Heavens! ”

”Wu Qianqian… please continue to fool him.
Allow him to shield me until his death.
It is a good plan after all.
With such cover to hide under, I can observe and enjoy myself. ”

”Although, he ’s not really an important person, this is not an issue at all! ”

Of course, Chu Yang had been able to hurt Li Jianyin earlier on because he could accurately predict Li Jianyin ’s next move and implement his trap early.
The retreating, cowering and subsequent sitting on his neck was also intentional.

Although Chu Yang lacked the godly and formidable strength of his previous life, his powerful foresight was preserved.
Overcoming a young kid like Li Jianyin was merely a piece of cake.

…

Gathering Clouds Peak.

In the library, Master Wu Yunliang sat on a wooden chair and smiled lightly.
Three strands of black hair stuck out from his chin.
Beside him was a middle-aged man clad in a green qipao.
His hairless face appeared calm.
His eyes radiated with infinite wisdom.
He was the master of Dream Clouds Peak, Seventh Brother Kong Jing Feng.
He was also a scheming figure in Beyond the Heavens Sect.

Wu Qianqian stood before the two great masters and reported the incidents.
Even while she was describing the events at Purple Bamboo Garden and the injuries sustained by Li Jianyin, she was still unable to fathom the actions of Chu Yang or Shi Qianshan.
Wu Yunliang, who was initially calm, suddenly threw an astonished glance at Kong Jing Feng.

”In your opinion, what do you think about the three disciples of Purple Bamboo Garden? ” Wu Yunliang asked.

Surprisingly, Wu Yunliang was not concerned about Li Jianyin ’s injuries, but about the three disciples of Purple Bamboo Garden.
