Cultivating in Honkai! Chapter 410: Speculated Answers

The Dao Integration Realm ant becoming the embodint of one’s Dao. One must comprehend it to its utmost limits. They must rge all sorts of understanding towards it, even the ones derived from other Daos. It is an entire major realm dedicated to imrsing oneself into the path they had chosen.

Above that is the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. It presents three tribulations, each capable of threatening their existence. Their possible deaths were not limited to the termination of one’s life. It could go as far as to have one’s existence erased throughout the myriad worlds!

The risks naturally ca with great rewards. The tribulations faced in this realm serves to temper one’s Dao—to undergo checks and balances and see whether they are capable of holding “infinity” in their grasp. So long as one fails in their tribulation, they would die. However, that pain could not compare to the experience of dying upon forcing infinity to oneself.

There are several forbidden techniques that grant such an effect. At their highest level, one could briefly attain the infinity held by True Immortals. Its drawbacks, however, were sothing only those prepared to lose everything could handle.

Shi Tian is not such a person.

He was soone who had a winning start. He has opportunities not even Pangu did not have. Only the final tribulation remained; granted he could step into the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. Naturally, everyone around him was dragged along by his struggles.

“Nobody hasn’t forgotten him. This is enough.”

‘This place is…’

Seele woke up to a rather familiar place. The familiar starry backdrop and the dicinal cauldron enshrined at its center was none other than her alchemy room. This ti, however, she stood far from the furnace. She looked around and saw soone who resembled herself.

“Samsara holds life and death; the essence of destruction and reconstruction. Alchemy is an act that seizes heaven’s fortune, turning its most beloved creations into heretical pills… sothing that goes against the nature of all worlds.”

She imdiately caught onto the nigh-chanical tone coming off of the girl’s mouth. Seele was pretty much the sa whenever she partakes in alchemy. The eerie resemblance with herself made her think of a possibility—future projections.

“Becoming a heretic in exchange for salvation… is a step I must take.”

She did not mind whether Seele was baffled or not. She continued preaching with a flat tone.

‘The feeling is stronger this ti…’ She thought. ‘This is the pressure of a Dao Integration Realm expert… no.’

Seele once held power equal to the Dao Integration Realm. The simulation of Primum Mobile they pulled off at Amphoreus resulted in the complete obliteration of Nihility. To do that, they all consud their lifespans to call forth the power of an eighth-level Tao Heart. Add to that her mastery over cultivation techniques, she can form judgents of whether soone is at a certain realm or not.

Her future projection now is unlike anything she had ever seen before. The heavy atmosphere pressed down on her shoulders. The essence of Dao drifting along the fluctuations sent out by her furnace surpassed her creations up to date. This “Seele” was farther to the future compared to the others Seele had t in the past few centuries.

Most importantly…

“...Where is Veliona?”

The future projection Seele fell dead silent. She turned her head and t Seele’s gaze. Her ocean-blue eyes are dotted with stars. Seele “saw” an unfathomably large world within. A long, murky river flowed within the crevices of a dried-up land. The sky was completely gray, with an extrely noticeable upside-down mountain rooted on it. Palaces upon palaces were built across the dreary lands, housing judges and officers belonging to the underworld.

The future projection Seele has an entire world inside of her!

Her silence gave Seele an unshakeable sense of unease, for oftentis, it is an answer by itself.

‘No…’

Unfortunately, she hasn’t said anything else towards her. By the ti she snapped back to reality, she found herself in front of her alchemy furnace. A sense of “correctness” flooded her mind, confirming she was no longer in that place where she never belonged.

After calming herself down, only one thought remained inside her:

‘...That future should never co to pass.’

“...Ah.”

Theresa’s eyes shot wide open. The recovery speed of a Void Refinent Realm cultivator was put into play. Her drunkenness dissipated over her few days’ worth of sleep. She could feel the spiritual qi within her has turned more saturated. She made more progress towards the early stage, drawing closer to the middle stage.

That wasn’t so important to Theresa right now. The mories of the night she was dead drunk returned to her mind. She was no longer suppressed by the peak seventh-grade wine’s effects. She reviewed everything that has happened with full clarity.

‘I-I-I…’

Although she had pictured it inside her mind several tis, Theresa was still shocked at her boldness!

She placed her fingertips on her pink lips. It fed back a springy sensation mixed with a faint scent of flowers. The slippery and sloppy sensation from that night’s kiss replayed over and over inside her mind. Her face was tinged with red, akin to her appearance back when she was drunk.

‘...I did it.’

Just as she blankly sat upright on the sofa, she froze. Her eyes remained glued at the two figures sleeping together on the floor. Hiko’s long, red hair sprawled all over her back. Her legs were parted wide open as she moved slightly to snug closer to her humanoid body pillow. Shi Tian looked exactly like soone who was accustod to it. Despite sleeping, he never made any big moves. It was a scene straight out of a married couple’s life.

‘She’s cheating!!!’

Theresa instantly jolted. She fought back the urge to wake the two of them up right at this instant.

‘I… I only kissed him. She actually..!’

Thinking of the interruptions from last night, an obscene image ford inside her mind. Though she quickly killed it off after seeing Hiko being fully-clothed. This did not calm down her heartbeats, however.

‘I… we… we almost…’
