Fighting For Eternity

Chapter 156: Realize your path Fei, chose the path for your future

"Child, as I said 'your path is you to decide'. I might be able to guide you somewhere but your goal isn't limited within the realm I can reach, so take your time. Realize your way, do what you feel is good, take. You always told yourself, you don't love the swords, you only like them but when you fought against those thunder tribulations, did you still feel that way?"

"No, you didn't. What you felt was something different, something that can come from your heart not from your body, not from your bloodline. Others might think, you are deceiving yourself by changing your weapon on the fluke but you are not. You just didn't follow your heart instead you follow your body. Sword doesn't belong with the body, it only belongs to itself."

"Your vice-captain understands sword in a better way. Up until now what you were seeing and using was a sword but he is not using a sword. He is using Kendo. Kendo is different from a sword; it belongs to the supreme of path sword. Sword is derived from the Kendo, but many have forgotten Kendo. It is a true swordsman's dream to realize their Kendo."

"And your vice-captain is doing the same thing. He isn't chasing the sword, he is chasing Kendo. Although Kendo is derived from the Sword, it is part of the sword itself because the Sword as a king of weapons is derived into many paths. Kendo is particularly separate part because when it is used as single kendo, then it is a different path but if double kendo is used, then it is derived from the Sword."

"It may be hard to understand but single kendo is a path from which Sword Path is derived but double kendo is derived from the sword. At the start of the Kendo path, there was only one kendo. But later, people began to realize different Martial Arts that require double kendo to use. Later, the word 'Kendo' disappeared, and Sword takes over it."

"Now, take your time and think of everything I've said until now. If what you choose is the same as what I want then, I'll guide you completely but If it is different then I'll still guide you but not the end because that wouldn't be the path I took." The God of Mischief answered with a smile, making Fei get up. Then, he murmured, "I hope you'll choose a different path." He said those words in a low voice but Fei still heard him.

This made Fei once again sit down, and concentrate on his body. He began to think about everything he has gone through. He remembered the moment he raised his sword against the thunder tribulation, talking with his black sword with excitement.

Suddenly, he remembered the Sword Spirit he awakened when he broke through the tenth realm of Sword Aura. He remembered giving his sword to his son because he got something uncountable times better.

Then he slowly began to realize, everything he did was not because he wanted but because of greed. Yes, his greed over the divine weapon, he realized spend so much to change his sword because of greed. He then remembered the God of Mischief words, one of his previous reincarnations being a demon with seven sins.

Yes, now he slowly began to realize his mistakes. He remembered the moment when he killed a person just because he said something bad about the stone village. This wasn't because he going to save them. At that moment, his policy was to save common people but this wasn't a reason to kill him. He killed him because his policy was against that person's policy. Normally, these things happen many times in the life of a cultivator, and he knows that. He remembered the rage when others go against his policy.

Yes rage, the rage was the reason for him to kill that person. This was another sign of his previous reincarnation. The reason why he said this was a sin because cultivators are supposed to control their six desires but he was unsuccessful.

His emotion was rage at that moment, he couldn't control that rage because his mind was full of sin. This means his mind was slowly walking towards the path he took in his previous life. This made Fei panic. Then, he began to think even more deeply. Next was another sin he realized, lust. Though he controlled it to some extent, his lust made him lose his virginity at the age of fourteen.

He also realized his arrogance and pride he showed till now. He began to realize if he once again takes this path then he will surely die prematurely even if his background is strong. So now, he began to think of every conclusion from the God of Mischief words. He also came up with some conclusions;

1- It doesn't really matter which path he chose, he can succeed in every path.

2- He needs to remember his body as his main weapon, mostly because of his bloodlines.

3- He is once again walking on the path he shouldn't have.

4- His path of the spear is not wrong but that doesn't make him walk on his true path, so what is his true path?

5- He has to remember his own pros and cons, then chose a path for him. He shouldn't do basically what others told him?

6- He needs to walk on a path that can completely help him severe his own cause and effect; because if other does that for him then it will mean his death.

From this conclusion, various thoughts are processed in his brain. He began to think even more carefully about making any haste decision. He analyzed his future path, his current self, and found a path for himself. But still, he needed more time to think about it again and again.

After all, this may be his last and important turning point; he needs to think a lot instead of letting his emotions decide. The God of Mischief wasn't wrong told him to do what his heart tells him but Fei can't do that. He knows he can't change everything in fluke as if consequences won't be disastrous because, in truth, the consequences of his decision could be disastrous.

It took three hours for him to decide his path, he thought of different actions and consequences and finally came up with a perfect path that will not only suit his desire but also his talent. Finally, he walked near the God of Mischief and said "I have decided my path."

"Oh, what did you realize?" The God of Mischief asked with interest on his face, he knows Fei can't take too many wrong decisions in his life. But that doesn't mean he won't make mistake. This is life, and it is how it works. You make a decision, some turn out right, some wrong, and only if you learn from your mistakes, you can walk continuously. Otherwise, you'll always be at the bottom.

Normally, in the world of cultivation, being at the bottom comes with no decision making ability because he would lose his right to make any decision.

"My goal is eternity, so I need to balance my body, soul, and essence. I can't be affected by my past, nor can l let my wrong actions destroy my future. I want to grow by understanding everything, I won't rush, but I also won't slow down. I choose the path of Body, Kendo, and Spear. But I won't just be locked with these three."

"I choose the path of Body as my main weapon because of my bloodlines, and the same goes for the spear. But I chose Kendo for my soul. I want kendo to help me sever my cause and effect when I get strong. Path of Kendo will allow me to control my emotions. I thought about Buddhism but that path doesn't suit me well because my path is a path of killing."

"I choose Spear because it'll allow me to use my essence perfectly. My body acts with a spear, and I was born for Spear. But at the end of the day, it still can't be my main weapon because my main weapon will be my body. My transformations and magic power can allow my body to get stronger as every second pass."

"My body is a supreme treasure filled with the power of Dragon, Asura, Lightning, Karma, Destiny, and Dream. All of these make my body countless times more powerful than normal ones. But what I want my body is to be stronger than weapons. So, from now on instead of taking a passive way to increase my physical strength, I shall harden my bones, forge my muscles, and train my skin."

"Although my strength has gone up, due to purple energy, my body has now become fragile like a piece of paper. It corroded my physical strength to the extreme, and even If I recovered completely, I'll only gain attack power. My endurance, defense, stamina, have reached their lowest limit. Fortunately, the death aura condensed in my second dantian space is slowly recovering my stamina."

"But this doesn't change I have once again become defenseless. Not to mention, now my body can't support physical strength even if my body is recovered. So, I want to start again, I want you to destroy my physical strength, leaving only my cultivation base safe. It will still take three months to recover, and once I do, I'll start my true body training. Can you please do that?"

His words made the God of Mischief startled, he didn't think Fei would realize so much, at least much more profound than him. But he can't argue because it was Fei's body after all. Finally, he sighed at Fei and said "I can do this for you but promise me; from now on you'll take care of your body. This is still early so I won't disagree with you for destroying your own hard work but I don't want anyone to do this same thing with your body."

"Remember, the path you have taken is truly perfect for you, and even without destroying your physical strength, you can still achieve your previous strength based on the defense. But I know, previously you rushed and you know regret that. So, you want to start over fortunately, it is still not late."

At this time, Fei cut off his words with his own "Only because of you."

"Helping will help me too, don't worry you will slowly realize everything going on around you. Today, your decision inspired me a lot too, so I'll help you guide for the next four months meaning even after you recover, at least for one more month after you recover. Now, let's start" The God of Mischief finished his words, and his body shone in golden, later Fei's also did the same.
