Chapter 729: Chapter 354: I Possessed ’Myself,’ the Dean Redefined Punishment._2

"Whether from the perspective of memory, or in the scenes of dreams, my viewpoint has never changed at all."

"And, when that ghost fell, the aura I saw in its eyes made me feel extremely disgusted.

If that ghost were ’me,’ it would be impossible to give birth to such an emotion; any creature is partial to themselves."

"Even if ’I’ don’t like the former ’me’, when seeing my past self through dreams, the emotion should be pity, pain, not loathing, and certainly not that kind of relentless hatred!"

Understanding all of this, Su Tu only felt as if an invisible shackle in his heart had been lifted, and he couldn’t help but relax a bit.

And at the same time, a prompt from the system popped up.

[You have broken the psychological barrier within, Candle Wisdom Proficiency +2000]

[Candle Wisdom (High Tier): 40000/50000]

This prompt from the system indirectly proved Su Tu’s thoughts were correct.

At the same time, a trace of fear lingered in his heart.

"Psychological barrier..."

The so-called psychological barrier is the highest level of heart and spirit puzzles, where obsession turns into a demon, and thoughts become barriers. If a psychological barrier arises in the heart and spirit, not only will heart and spirit cultivation be greatly affected,

but one will also fall deeper into it, unable to extricate oneself, gradually influenced by the barrier. Actions and deeds will progressively become deranged, beyond saving, life unbearable.

Su Tu’s situation just now was extremely dangerous; if he had truly considered himself as a ’possessor,’ his future actions would inevitably be hugely impacted.

Like cancer cells entering the body, initially with little impact, but gradually changing the entire person over time.

Becoming obsessive, becoming deranged, possibly doing unforgivable things under the influence of the barrier.

But fortunately, Su Tu saw through it all.

"With my current heart and spirit strength, it should be difficult for my heart and spirit to give birth to a psychological barrier..."

Su Tu mused internally.

He possesses a powerful heart and spirit, also blessed with high-tier Candle Wisdom. Generally, he can understand various critical points at the first moment.

Such erroneous guesses would not occur, nor would a psychological barrier that affects oneself arise.

Unless...

Su Tu thought of something; he tried to perceive his own inner world, but then his expression turned somewhat strange.

"Is this the Heart Confusion of the Three Calamities? No wonder I can’t gather the Dao in dreams..."

Only upon actively touching his heart and spirit did he discover his heart and spirit had become extremely frail, with his inner world sealed off and unreachable.

This is the Heart Confusion of the Three Calamities, suppressing all achievements in heart and spirit, transforming them into the mundane, unbeknownst to the Martial Artist, only discernible when the heart and spirit are called upon.

If during a battle, using Divine Techniques against an enemy, and discovering one was trapped in Heart Confusion, in a moment’s bewilderment, unable to deploy Divine Techniques, vulnerabilities could be exploited, risking demise.

This is precisely why, during the phase of passing through the Three Calamities, one minimizes duels with others—it’s too easy to fall.

And it was due to ’Heart Confusion’ that Su Tu didn’t gather the Dao in dreams, but rather dreamed a mere piece of the past.

It was also because of Heart Confusion that he fell into a psychological barrier, but fortunately, it didn’t result in disaster.

Thinking it over carefully, it was a blessing in disguise. Although there was immense risk, Su Tu was able to glimpse a corner of past memories.

If not for Heart Confusion, with his heart and spirit not falling into frailty, who knows how long it would have taken to see that past.

Understanding various critical points, the shadows in Su Tu’s eyes quietly faded away.

Based on everything he had seen, he could piece together part of the story.

At about five or six years old, while waiting for his father, a mysterious shadow whisked him to a vast cavern, with a Starship hovering above the cavern.

The Starship carried countless ’ghosts,’ each ghost corresponding to a child.

Then, these ghosts fell upon the bodies of these children.

What can be certain now is that these ghosts were not meant for possession, and Su Tu felt extremely disgusted by them, even to the point of hatred.

Moreover, these ghosts entered the children’s bodies and seemingly served some purpose, causing certain effects.

But introspecting himself, Su Tu found no trace of changes left by the ghost.

Su Tu couldn’t believe that those ghosts merely crashed down, wandered around, and that was it. There must be more secrets he was unaware of.

Though he accidentally unlocked memories of this scene, the fog over other memories in his mind remained deep.

Even with the Key of the Heart, he couldn’t glimpse it unless his heart and spirit reached a higher tier, and aiming for Tier Four Heart and Spirit is immensely difficult; even now, he hasn’t found a Realm-Breaking Method.

"It wasn’t entirely fruitless..."

Su Tu squinted, recalling scenes from the dream. Though still mostly puzzling, he remembered the appearances of the ’ghosts’ nearest to him.

If his guess was correct, those ghosts’ appearances are what the children would look like when they grow up, meaning there might be a chance to meet them in the Star River.

If encountered, he would definitely recognize them.

"Besides Heart Confusion, what else influenced me to see all this..."

Su Tu pondered carefully.

Memory shrouded by fog, even his heart and spirit couldn’t erase the remaining fog, because without Heart Confusion, it was merely an entry point into that dream.

If there were no catalyst, Su Tu didn’t believe that he, in frailty of heart and spirit, could see this segment of memory.
