"I observe, sir, that you possess an essence akin to my own. Are you perhaps of the Great Sun Lineage from the Outer Realm?"
The Sword Light did not reply, speaking to itself:
"You, as an Innate Divine Being, are born sacred. To seek enlightenment, you must continue accumulating Merit, from little to much, accumulating for tens or hundreds of epochs, and perhaps you may have the slightest hope of enlightenment."
"Now that you have chosen to sever your Innate Foundation, it means you are taking the second path. Yet you have not severed completely, and residual Merit remains. This Merit is both your reliance and a shackle for further progress. You indeed need to 'completely' die once in the Outer Realm."
Chi Yinghuo pondered silently.
Accumulating merit is not easy.
But dispersing it is quite simple.
The simplest method is to kill.
But this path goes against Chi Yinghuo's true heart.
