Chapter 446: This Is My Answer

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Hao lowered his head.

In his view, the concept of good and evil was elusive. Once you get caught in them, you would enter a whirlpool and lose yourself.

Jiang Hao’s answer to both choices presented by Master Hao Yue was to ignore it entirely. It didn’t impact him in any way.

However, Chu Jie was different. The Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment couldn’t be a self-centered endeavor. The Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment was the blessings from heaven and earth. If she could maintain a calm and rational state of mind, she would reach the peak of this path. She didn’t have the luxury to detach herself from this dilemma.

“Do you have an answer?” Hong Yuye asked.

Jiang Hoa shook his head. “ No, because I never think about these things.”

Hong Yuye was silent.

Jiang Hao looked at Chu Jie. He didn’t know if she had the answer yet.

The question troubled Chu Jie for a long time. She looked melancholic, and she seemed unable to find joy in anything. It wasn’t until she grew up into a young woman that she went to see Master Hao Yue.

“Do you have an answer now?” Master Hao Yue asked.

“Master, I want to pursue the Foundation Establishment, ” Chu Jie said solemnly.

“A regular Foundation Establishment Realm?” Master Hao Yue asked. “The Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.” Master Hao Yue frowned. “That’s not the answer I was hoping for.”

“But it’s the answer the sect wants,” Chu Jie said. “The sect?” Master Hao Yue chuckled. “Who am I?”

“The Sect Master?” Chu Jie said.

“Yes, I am the Head of the Bright Moon Sect, and the sect follows my will. So, you don’t have to be influenced by others,” Master Hao Yue said firmly.

“But I still want to pursue the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment,” Chu Jie said.

“Do you know what your decision will bring?” Master Hao Yue asked.

“Some of my seniors in the sect will die on the day I pursue this path. The eastern, western, southern, and northern regions, and even farther places, will suffer hardships because of my decision,” Chu Jie said.

Master Hao Yue was shocked. “Who told you that?”

Chu Jie shook her head. “I thought of it myself. If someone supports the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, there will definitely be others who oppose it. If someone benefits from it, there will be someone who suffers because of it. It’s what you taught me. When one receives goodwill, someone else receives cruelty. If the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is considered good, then evil will occur somewhere.”

Master Hao Yue looked at his disciple. He felt that her aptitude was much higher than he had initially thought.

“Do you still want to pursue the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment?”

“I do.”

“Do you understand what is good and what is evil?” Chu Jie lowered her head and said softly, “I don’t.”

After a moment of silence, she looked up at her master.

“Good and evil are definitions created by others. How can someone like me understand it?”

“Then, what is your answer?” Master Hao Yue asked.

At this moment, Chu Jie began to integrate with everything in the world. Her lips moved as though she was saying something. “There is no good, and there is no evil. There are only consequences that one bears for making decisions.” Everything shook, and Chu Jie’s aura was everywhere.

Jiang Hao also started to withdraw from that place, but Chu Jie’s voice still echoed in his ears.

“If they consider me good, I will continue to stay in the sect and become a good person. If they consider me evil, I’ll go to a demonic sect and become an evil person. They can define me by their assumption, but my path will never change. The path I choose, and my will remains unchanged. This is my answer.”

At this moment, a light shone and became one with Chu Jie.

As Jiang Hao withdrew, he saw mountains, rivers, starry skies, and the vast sea.

Withstanding such power was far from what he had imagined.

Moreover, he felt as if a dark force was enveloping everything around him, and countless voices were ringing in his ear, like the whispers of darkness.

“Why? Why do I have to suffer?”

“Why must you harm me?!”

“You’ll be fine, but what about me? What about me?”

“Your “goodness” is built on our corpses.”

Jiang Hao withdrew and looked at the darkness. He lowered his head in silence.

The ones who had inflicted suffering were The Ed of All Things, but the one bearing the burden of responsibility for all the pain inflicted was the one pursuing the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.

At this moment, he felt something surging within him.

“It’s starting to draw upon your luck. As long as your luck doesn’t encounter any issues, you can guide the power into your spirit and help establish the Foundation Establishment Realm,” said Hing Yuye.

Jiang Hao stared ahead. He knew the moment had come.

Success or failure hinged on this one action.

At this point, the surging power was moving toward Chu Jie’s body. She was already beginning to establish the Foundation Establishment Realm, and the Heavenly Dao was her spirit.

Everyone present could feel that they were helping her build the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment. Once they faltered, it would affect the progress of it.

Jiang Hao didn’t dare to leave from here. His luck seemed to be good and had a significant effect.

As he paid attention to his surroundings, she saw the sky changing. The clouds began to surge.

A faint laughter echoed somewhere.

“Hahaha, this Foundation Building is truly unprecedented! It’s a pity to give it to a little girl. Give it to me instead.”

From the sky, a pale hand shrouded in clouds reached out toward Chu Jie.

Such a strength made Jiang Hao’s heart race.

This kind of formidable expert was not someone he could contend with.

He glanced at Hong Yuye and realized that she had no intention of intervening.

“You want this? What a joke! Who do you think you are?” A figure from beneath the Bright Moon Sect soared into the sky.

A powerful force clashed with the hand in the sky.

With a loud bang, the hand retreated, and the person who had acted revealed themselves.

It was a young man who appeared to be around twenty-six years old.

What shocked Jiang Hao wasn’t the appearance, but rather the feeling he got from that person.

“A brat like you thinks he can stop me?” A voice echoed from high above.

“You little scum.” The young man sneered.

“Me? Hahaha… you really dare to say such things to me.”

“Courage? You flatter me. I just don’t have the time. What are you worth anyway?”

“Young and arrogant. Let’s see if you can survive to say such things again.”

At this moment, mist covered the area, and a tremendous power surged in the sky as if the two were engaged in a fierce battle.

Jiang Hao looked at the sea of mist and felt it to be somewhat familiar. However, he was more concerned about how long the young man could hold out.

It was apparent that the young man was at a disadvantage.

With the appearance of the hand, several powerful forces began to converge around the Bright Moon Sect.

However, strong individuals from the Bright Moon Sect confronted each of them.

Jiang Hao was powerless in the face of all this.

If Chu Jie could successfully achieve her Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, the strong individuals helping her would be free to fight.

Then, everything would be resolved easily.

Chu Jie frowned. The darkness in the surging power was affecting her progress.

“It seems that the influence of The End of All Things is significant. I need to help her.” Hong Yuye turned to look at Jiang Hao.

“I’m not sure my strength is enough,” Jiang Hao said.

“Activate your cultivation technique,” Hong Yuye instructed.

Jiang Hao didn’t hesitate. He activated the Hundred Revolutions of Heavenly Note.

Hong Yuye still stared at him without doing anything.

Jiang Hao didn’t say anything. He circulated the Hong Meng Heart Sutra. In an instant, purple energy enveloped him.

Only then did Hong Yuye reach out and grab his hand..
