Chapter 37: The Concept of Quantum Life! A Mind Lost in Imagination
Li Cheng instinctively responded:
“The Human Eye Thieves number around a hundred people. Their leader has lived for over twenty years and has attacked thousands. I estimate they might have Morning Star-level strength… very dangerous…”
Before he could finish, Li Cheng clamped his mouth shut, wishing he could slap himself.
The person in front of him was likely at the Radiant Moon level. Compared to him, a Morning Star-level being could be crushed with one hand.
Telling someone like that about the dangers of a Morning Star was practically insulting!
Clearly, the man wasn’t asking about the number of Human Eye Thieves but rather how many Awakeners had learned about the treasure, especially if any were at his level.
Li Cheng quickly composed himself and earnestly said:
“What I mentioned earlier was unnecessary. The news did spread, but only to a few nearby provinces. Besides, it came from a dubious source, so most people are skeptical. Awakeners like me who came personally are rare, and beings of your level would hardly bother coming at all!”
What does ‘beings of my level’ mean? Aren’t we all Morning Stars? Li Cheng thought. I only just learned about the Radiant Moon level today.
Lu Yu couldn’t help but inwardly grumble. His expression under the mask turned awkward. The guy clearly mistook him for a Radiant Moon powerhouse.
In reality, he hadn’t even reached the Morning Star level. According to the standard cultivation system, he was just an ordinary person with exceptionally high energy reserves.
But he couldn’t reveal the truth, as it involved the Monster Editor System—his biggest secret.

Even if someone hadn’t cultivated, gaining such immense power and encountering such a significant opportunity might spark greed. Despite Li Cheng’s current respect, it was based solely on his mistaken belief that Lu Yu was a Radiant Moon powerhouse.
If he discovered the truth, he’d likely turn hostile immediately.
And at such close range, even Fear Balloon couldn’t intervene in time. As for the other Morning Star-level Void Shadow Spider—it was still an egg, utterly useless.
An enraged man can kill within five steps! And this wasn’t just any man—Li Cheng was a bona fide Morning Star with unknown special abilities.
Without prior combat experience, Lu Yu couldn’t guarantee that Fear Balloon would win.
I still know too little about the world of Awakeners, he sighed.
For his safety, he decided to keep up the facade and replied softly:
“I understand.”
Seeing the mysterious powerhouse accept his show of respect, Li Cheng felt relieved but sighed again:
“Sigh, my spiritual essence is severely damaged. I originally intended to trade this Sub-Dragon Egg for spiritually potent treasures to aid my breakthrough.
“But now the treasure is out of reach. My shackles remain unbroken, and I lack even a sense of direction. I’m already two hundred years old… Who knows if I’ll ever find a new path…”
The treasure had been his chance, but Lu Yu’s arrival shattered that hope.
Though Li Cheng spoke softly, his deep emotions resonated, causing Xu Xiaoqing and Ma Yang to sigh.
The masked man behind Ghost Bear spoke up:
“My lord will surely find a breakthrough! Even if not, Ghost Bear will search tirelessly for life-extending treasures!”
But Li Cheng only shook his head bitterly:
“Forget it… It’s too difficult. Low-grade life-extending treasures are useless to me, while high-grade ones are guarded by monsters. Obtaining them is nearly impossible. Right now, I have no hope…”
His words deepened the somber atmosphere. Even Lu Yu felt a profound sadness—a yearning for life and a future.
No wonder ancient cultivators pursued enlightenment even at the cost of death. Such determination is truly awe-inspiring.
Still, Lu Yu frowned. This defeatist attitude irked him. No matter how dire the situation, one should never give up!
Even if the monster guarding the treasure is unbeatable, so what? Build weapons! Drop hundreds of tons of nukes and see if it survives!
If personal strength isn’t enough, harness technological power. This world’s tech level isn’t low—why not pursue mechanical immortality or quantum life?!
Success could forge a new path—a quantum lifeform! An entity capable of quantum strikes beyond infinite space, with computing power rivaling supercomputers, performing trillions of calculations in an instant.
Isn’t the technological route appealing? Isn’t becoming a quantum lifeform powerful?
Obstacles aren’t the issue—what matters is having the determination to overcome them. With resolve and effort, even failure counts as having tried.
Resolving to encourage Li Cheng, Lu Yu glanced at him and solemnly stated:
“Being and non-being give rise to each other; difficulty and ease complement one another.”
This quote from Tao Te Ching, Chapter 2, means that opposites are interdependent. “Being” and “non-being” are interconnected, as are “difficulty” and “ease.” In essence, everything has a solution if viewed from another angle.
It suited this disheartened… elderly man perfectly.
Since Li Cheng had shared valuable information, Lu Yu felt compelled to offer guidance in return.
Hearing these words, Li Cheng seemed thunderstruck, frozen in place. He kept murmuring:
“Being and non-being… difficulty and ease… Being… non-being… difficulty… ease…”
His voice grew louder and faster, his murmuring verging on madness. Immense energy surged from him like tidal waves, forming fierce winds that swept in all directions!
Behind him, Ghost Bear assumed his master was under a sinister spell. His eyes turned blood-red as he glared at Lu Yu and roared:
“What did you do to my master?!”
Lu Yu was dumbfounded under his mask. I didn’t do anything! I was just offering some advice!
Still, he had to maintain his mysterious persona. With an indifferent glance, he silenced Ghost Bear mid-sentence.
“Difficulty… ease… being… non-being… Yin… Yang… cycle… I understand… I finally understand… I’ve achieved enlightenment!” Li Cheng shouted.
Lu Yu was utterly bewildered.
???
What did you just realize? How did you achieve enlightenment?!
