Chapter 130


    The moonlight shone on the leaves while rays of light passed through them.


    The vision was not clear.


    However, Polly''s cultivation level was enough for her to travel in the dark effortlessly. Hence, at the


    moment, Polly and Jonathan could see the path clearly.


    Gaining his bnce, the man fell into deep thought.


    A few momentster, he finally made a move.


    To be exact, he did not move physically. Instead, Polly could feel an aura surging through Jonathan.


    At that, a murderous intent radiated from Jonathan''s body. One could feel the spiritual fighter within


    him.


    The vitality was excessively ferocious, unlike anything one had ever felt. It could destroy everything that


    stood in its way. Besides that, it was simr to the rebellious feeling when an individual endured


    hardships and unfairness in life.


    Right now, Polly could feel the vitality in Jonathan.


    She knew that this was the specialty of a Nascent Soul fighter. The vitality unleashed by a Nascent


    Soul expert was the most astounding part of the cultivation level. Moreover, the power it produced was


    unlimited.


    Shortly after, Jonathan moved his palms as he raised his body. It was as if a mighty being had arrived


    as a domineering aura covered the entire ce. On Jonathan''s palm was the almighty Great Sage


    Seal.


    At that moment, all changes were inside the Great Sage Seal. If Jonathan unleashed it, it could crush


    all minds and power.


    The technique was a creation of Jonathan.

    When he did the Great Sage Seal, Polly was stunned as she knew she could not handle the pressure


    no matter how hard she tried. She felt that way because she could feel the force when Jonathan


    released it.


    Jonathanbined everything he had learned as a spiritual fighter and all hisprehension in


    martial arts into the Great Sage Seal.


    Thus, it was not something others could copy from him, as nobody could possibly have the same


    vitality as this Great Sage Seal.


    “Nascent Soul! It''s Nascent Soul!” muttered Polly.


    After summoning the skill, Jonathan jumped, held a branch, and got on a tree.


    “Polly!” shouted Jonathan.


    Upon hearing that, Polly looked at Jonathan in confusion.


    “You haven''t told me how realization struck you. It''s very difficult to exin to you in concrete. All the


    while, I''m unsure of what I want. However, Mabel''s words reminded me I couldn''t take oppression,


    unfairness, and insults. But because I''ve got a stubborn attitude, I always offend others. Hence, if I


    don''t want to get bullied, I have to be stronger. That''s all I''ve ever wanted. How about you? Polly,


    what exactly do you favor most? Or what makes you want to make a breakthrough and reach Nascent


    Soul?” asked Jonathan.


    At his words, Polly pondered for a moment. A brief moment of silenceter, she replied, “In this world, I


    have no desire for anything. I''m not interested in money, power, and man. The only thing I want to


    pursue is the final destination of my body, as I want to reach the mysterious end. That''s all I ever


    wanted.”


    Out of curiosity, Jonathan asked, “Are you always uninterested in money, power, and man? Do you


    know that you''ve reached a state where you''ve forgotten about sentiment? During cultivation, many


    focused on forgetting their feelings and being abstinent to prevent their body from being hurt. Hence, I


    think it''s good for you. But why can''t you break through Nascent Soul?”


    Polly could not help but smile bitterly. “You''re asking me? How would I know? I''m more eager to know


    the answer than you are.”


    With a half smile, Jonathan replied, “I''m not asking you. I''m just trying to think of the key to your


    problem. In fact, I think something''s amiss about you. Previously, I couldn''t tell what it was, but now I''ve


    got a brief idea.”


    “Oh? Tell me, then,” uttered Polly in a hurry.


    “You have no desire. I''m not talking about the ordinary wishes of the human realm. Instead, you don''t


    have the desire to want something. To be powerful, enter Nascent Soul, and reach the other end


    are all desires. However, your desire is not strong enough. If you do, your nervous system will feel


    excited, and it''ll increase your vitality.”


    “But shouldn''t we control our vitality? From what I''ve learned, we can''t possibly let our vitality control


    us. To do that, we''ll need to be calm!” refuted Polly.


    “What you''re saying is correct. However, if you want to boost your vitality, you''ll have to pair it with your


    emotions. Don''t you think youck that?” questioned Jonathan.


    Again, Polly gave it a thought before responding, “Maybe you''re right, but I can''t find the emotion you''re


    talking about.”


    “That''s normal. See, that''s the key to breaking through. The Destino focuses too much on forgetting our


    sentiments, but do you know what that means? If you want to let go of your feelings, you need to have


    that feeling before you can have something to forgo. For example, if an individual wants to see through


    wealth and fame, the person needs to obtain them before giving them up. If the person is always a


    broke man and that person tells you he doesn''t care about money, wouldn''t you think of him as a joke?”


    remarked Jonathan.


    Then, he continued, “There are three stages in life. In the first stage, when we see a mountain, we will


    only think of it as a mountain. Then, we''ll gradually enter the second stage. When we grow up and gain


    experience, we start to have thoughts about the same mountain, such as how severe the ecosystem


    damage is and how we can make money from selling wood gained from the trees. At this point, the


    mountain is more than a mountain to us. Then, when we grow old and see through fame and fortune,


    the mountain is now back to only a mountain to us. We''re back to the basics. To put it simply, you''re


    innocent when you''re young. When you grow old someday and understand more about the world, you''ll


    forgo many things and return to that state.”


    After exining, Jonathan paused for a short while before adding, “Hence, it''s apparent that you have


    not experienced the second stage in life. It''s no wonder you cannot enter the third stage.”


    Immediately, Polly''s eyes sparkled as if realization had struck her.


    Meanwhile, Jonathan stared at Polly intently. Naturally, he would hope that Polly could break through.


    All of a sudden, Polly looked at Jonathan with an awkward and bitter smile.


    It was an expression that seldom appeared on her face.


    As Polly was always confident and had an imposing aura, Jonathan had never expected to see that


    look on her face.


    Sucking in a deep breath, Polly uttered, “All this while, I''ve always had something deep down in my


    heart. I''ve never mentioned it to anyone, and I hope I can forget about it someday.”


    Jonathan remained silent. Right now, he thought it would be most appropriate to be a listener.


    It might be because they were in a hidden ce. Polly finally dared to spill it out. A person like her did


    not fear death, but it would take much courage to say the thing that was bothering her deep down.


    Soon, Polly started to narrate a piece of memory. “I grew up in the northern region. My family has an


    established business there. My grandpa, Tyler McDaniels, was a well-known person in the area.


    Besides that, he had a high cultivation level. He taught me all the martial arts skills I have today. Before


    I turned six, I was a child, just like the other children—innocent and na?ve. However, when I was six


    years old, I went to Grandpa''s summer vi to spend my holidays. I can still clearly remember that it


    was August, and the weather was hot. When I was enjoying my time there, a perverted servant in his


    fifties approached me. I addressed him as Old Mr. Quillen. At first, he treated me kindly. He even


    brought me to the kitchen for some delicious food, but when we were there, that scumbag suddenly


    showed me his private part and demanded that I touch it. As I was unwilling to do it, he yelled at me.


    While he hugged, kissed, and even bit me, I could only re at him. No matter how hard I tried, I


    couldn''t break free of him. If nobody hade to my rescue that day, he would have taken my virginity.


    Hence, from that day onward, I hated men. After the incident, Grandpa killed him. Although I wanted to


    forget about it, I couldn''t. It''s something that haunts me to this day. I''m turning thirty years old this year,


    but I''ve never had a rtionship. I always appear in front of men as if I''m the queen because I want all


    men to bow down to me.”


    After hearing Polly''s story, Jonathan smiled bitterly, as he did not expect a woman like Polly to go


    through such an experience.


    It''s true that a terrifying childhood memory can traumatize a person for life.


    Immediately after spilling everything out, Polly breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, she felt more


    rxed than ever. Jonathan even felt she was not as unapproachable as she used to be.


    “Polly, you have to conquer your fear,” stated the man.


    “Of course, I know that. I''ve been trying to get rid of the nightmare for many years. Sadly, I still can''t do


    it!” replied Polly.


    Rolling his eyes, Jonathan responded, “Maybe I can help you.”


    “How?” questioned Polly. “We must make you hate man less. Why don''t I try to be your boyfriend to let


    you experience being a normal woman?” Jonathan had his motive, as he wanted to try dating her.


    If I can hug a goddess like Polly, I bet it''ll feel wonderful! In addition to that, I think it''s a great way to


    help her, and it looks like the only way.


    As expected, Polly immediately felt tempted as she looked at Jonathan. Unbothered by what was going


    on in Jonathan''s mind, she nodded and replied, “Sure!”


    Upon hearing her answer, Jonathan was overjoyed.


    “I don''t know much about rtionships, though,” Polly uttered shyly. “You''ve got to teach me.”


    Although Jonathan felt likeughing, he answered her seriously, “Usually, we have to take our time to


    get to know each other. However, you only have a night. Hence, we have to speed up the process.”


    At that, Polly asked with a weird expression, “Are you trying to bed me tonight?”


    Upon hearing that, Jonathan puffed, feeling embarrassed. I can''t believe Mabel and Polly speak so


    straightforwardly regarding matters like this. Even I feel shy talking about this topic.


    “Of course not!” replied Jonathan instantly. “Polly, we can''t possibly develop feelings for each other


    now. It''s also impossible for me to sleep with you. However, we can kiss and hug each other as


    ordinary couples do. I''m not trying to take advantage of you. Everything I do is sacrificial.”
