Chapter 115: Brother Lu, I did it!

“Breaking through defenses? Negative emotions can also yield Demonic Path points?”

Lu Ze’s lips curled into a grin, secretly delighted.

“Good heavens, this System is intentionally forcing me to torment people...”

Even though he said that,

Lu Ze didn’t plan to focus on making games like Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy.

Not only could there be real life danger,

the Demonic Path points income itself wasn’t outstanding.

Lu Ze’s philosophy was to create large-scale, sustainable games; that was the ultimate purpose of the System.

Of course, with the ability to break through defenses, the speed of accumulating Demonic Path points was a good improvement.

It was like having a double experience card.

Adding the Cyber Ten Thousand Souls Banner, it was a triple experience card.

“With two Sect servers, the next game should be something that can be played online...”

Lu Ze stroked his chin, beginning to consider his future plans.

...

...

That night, the Tianxuan Sect was in a state of unease.

“Have you heard? Senior Brother Shen was ensnared in the Illusion Realm yesterday!”

“Who doesn’t know that? Even his Heart Demon came out!”

“What is Lu Ze’s background... an Illusion Realm that can force Senior Brother Shen’s Heart Demon out?”

“What Lu Ze? Show some respect, call him Old Devil Lu!”

“Yesterday I saw Elder Chi personally go and detain Old Devil Lu and his Master... This matter probably won’t end well!”

“What do you think Elder Chi will do to punish Old Devil Lu?”

“If you ask me, he should be made to enter that Illusion Realm himself, and not allowed out until he clears it!”

“Seconded.”

“Seconded!”

...

...

The next day.

Lu Ze found that outside the pavilion where he was temporarily staying, many Tianxuan Sect Disciples had suddenly appeared.

From their gloating gazes, they mostly thought he had caused a huge disaster and had come to watch the show.

Someone shouted, “How did Senior Brother Shen get here?”

Lu Ze looked up and indeed saw Shen Yan flying towards him at an extremely fast speed, stepping on a Flying Hammer.

Wait a minute...

Flying Hammer?

Lu Ze rubbed his eyes.

He confirmed that he hadn’t seen wrong.

Shen Yan, who always thought hammers looked bad and was ashamed to show them in front of others, was actually flying on a hammer?

One should know that when this guy took him on a tour of the Tianxuan Sect yesterday, he had specifically cast a spell to change the hammer’s appearance into a cyan Flying Sword.

Such a big change overnight!?

Discussions broke out.

“I’m not mistaken, am I? Senior Brother Shen is actually stepping on a... Flying Hammer?”

“It’s a bit... deviated from the Saint’s image.”

“Is he here to cause trouble for Lu Ze?”

“Definitely! Old Devil Lu is the culprit who made him produce a Heart Demon!”

“This is the first time I’ve seen Senior Brother Shen use a hammer.”

“It is said that the hammer is Senior Brother Shen’s strongest method, so it seems he is serious this time.”

“Hahaha! Old Devil Lu is finished!”

...

Looking at the aggressive Shen Yan, Lu Ze couldn’t help but feel a little suspicious:

Was Shen Yan really here to settle scores with him?

He began to ponder ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ countermeasures in his mind.

In terms of Realm, Shen Yan was slightly higher than Zhong Yi and Zhou Yue, and even with his cheat, he was not his opponent.

Although his Master was resting in the pavilion,

given Nangong Yuan’s nature, he would most likely feel that Lu Ze deserved a slight punishment.

There might not be a life-threatening danger, but a good beating would certainly be unavoidable.

‘Should I use the Jade Pendant the old man gave me?’

Lu Ze subconsciously pulled out the Jade Pendant from his storage ring and rubbed it in his hand.

Then he suddenly remembered.

The text in the Jade Pendant was still 【Haha】, and hadn’t been changed back to 【Brave man, spare my life】.

This wouldn’t do.

Once it was released, his alternate identity would be exposed.

With the things his alt account said in the live stream yesterday, Shen Yan might try to kill him then...

Just as he was thinking rapidly.

Shen Yan in the air waved at him and greeted, “Brother Lu!”

His tone was very joyful.

The crowd of Tianxuan Sect Disciples outside the pavilion all looked at Lu Ze with extreme surprise.

No one understood why Shen Yan, after being tormented by Lu Ze to the point of producing a Heart Demon, not only didn’t hate him but seemed very happy?

Actually, Lu Ze was also bewildered.

He also didn’t know what was wrong with Shen Yan’s mind.

Could it be that he had been possessed by a Heart Demon?

“Brother Lu! I succeeded!!! Hahaha!!!”

Shen Yan laughed loudly.

With his keen senses, how could he not know what his fellow Disciples below were discussing, so he deliberately said loudly:

“Thank you, Brother Lu, for the Illusion Realm... it helped me get rid of my Heart Demon!”

Lu Ze looked utterly bewildered: “Huh?”

Shen Yan also froze: “Huh? This Illusion Realm... wasn’t it intentionally used by you to help me get rid of my Heart Demon?”

“Oh... you mean that.”

Lu Ze instantly adopted the demeanor of a Master, putting his hands behind his back with a calm expression:

“That is natural, it was merely a small effort.”

“Thanks to Brother Lu, I have now reached the Realm of Human-Hammer Unity...”

Shen Yan landed on the ground, smiling as he played with the hammer in his hand.

He had wrestled with his Heart Demon for an entire night.

Finally, he convinced his true self to accept the ‘Hammer’ as his Lifebound Treasure, and ultimately succeeded in defeating his Heart Demon.

At this moment, although he hadn’t displayed any Human-Hammer Unity techniques, no one would question the significance of his words.

Or rather,

from the moment he openly displayed the hammer to the world, Lu Ze believed that he had already reached such a Realm.

Hearing this, the surrounding Tianxuan Sect Disciples immediately turned pale with shock.

No one could have imagined that,

the seemingly pure tormenting Illusion Realm actually contained hidden profound mysteries!

Shen Yan had not only achieved the Realm of Human-Hammer Unity from it, but also dispelled his Heart Demon!

This was a treasure!

No one knew who started it, but everyone rushed to Lu Ze’s pavilion.

“Brother Lu, can you sell the Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy Illusion Realm crystals?”

“I want a copy too, don’t fight me for it!”

“Ten times the price, give me a copy!!”

“I knew Brother Lu looked handsome and upright, his Illusion Realm must have great efficacy!”

...

Facing the enthusiasm of the Tianxuan Sect Disciples, Lu Ze was delighted.

These were all Demonic Path points just waiting to be harvested!

He actually had some Illusion Realm crystals.

The reason was that Zhong Yi had sent him a message last night, asking for a few crystals, saying they were for Zhou Yue and Mu Yawen.

These things weren’t expensive to make and were simple to produce, so Lu Ze just made some extra.

“Everyone, don’t argue, there’s enough for everyone who came...”

“What ten times the price? Am I, Lu Ze, that kind of person! I make Illusion Realms all to help Fellow Daoists achieve Immortal Ascension early!”

“Come, come, come, 10 Spirit Stones each, take them, take them... You must clear it!”

...

...

Watching these Disciples leave with the Illusion Realm crystals, full of fighting spirit, Lu Ze felt very comforted.

He just had to wait to harvest the results.

“Brother Lu is indeed intelligent, seeing my problem at a glance...”

Shen Yan said with emotion.

He himself had been too concerned with the evaluations of outsiders, so it was difficult for him to follow his true Dao Heart.

It was only after the Heart Demon tribulation last night that he truly woke up.

Now, recalling yesterday’s experience, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Lu Ze had intentionally guided him.

Especially the matter of him starting a live stream.

If countless fellow Disciples hadn’t been watching him, Shen Yan wouldn’t have been so easily broken.

But precisely because of this, he turned misfortune into a blessing, not only severing his Heart Demon but also comprehending Human-Hammer Unity, and even his Dao Heart became more stable than before.

“Actually, I didn’t do that much...”

Facing Shen Yan’s praise, Lu Ze’s old face flushed, feeling a little embarrassed.

Shen Yan might not believe it if he said it, but he made Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy simply to break him...

“And that guy named 【Conquer the Illusion Realm with Senior Brother Shen】. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have given up so easily... By the way, Brother Lu, do you have a way to find out his identity? Which peak of Tianxuan Sect is he a Disciple of?”

Shen Yan suddenly remembered those hurtful bullet comments from yesterday and asked.

“Brother Shen, I am a person of the Righteous Path! How can I casually expose others’ information?”

Lu Ze righteously refused.

“That’s true...”

Shen Yan nodded with a slight hint of regret.

“By the way, Brother Lu, you mentioned before that after I achieve Human-Hammer Unity, you would specially create an Illusion Realm for me to hone my Sword Dao?”

“It seems there was such a thing... Wait, I’ll go make one for you right now.”

“There’s no need to be so hasty...”

“Here, I’ve made it.”

“That fast!? May I ask what kind of trial is inside?”

“You’re sealed in a jar by the Demonic Path again, and you’re holding a sword in your hand.”

“...Never mind, specializing in hammer cultivation is also quite good.”

...

...

The two chatted for a while, then Shen Yan’s communication Jade Slip at his waist suddenly received a message from Chi Shengtian.

“Brother Lu, my Master has something he’d like to ask you to come for.”
