Chen Yan grapples with a profound sense of unreality after easily deciding the fate of a powerful magnate, a stark contrast to his past struggles as a low-level cultivator. This division between his immense power in the real world and his past helplessness in the Domain Realm sparks the first "Heart Demon" of his cultivation journey.

Is it the mindset of a strong person, or the mindset of a weak person?

Strong person? Or weak person?

If one is strong, they should forge ahead with no hesitation!

If one is weak, they should cautiously seek survival!

The divide in the mental realm, the huge disparity.

This is Chen Yan’s heart demon.

·

Chen Yan walked on the streets for over an hour, passing unfamiliar avenues, not even knowing where he was.

He meticulously interrogated himself within, carefully, repeatedly pondering.

The heart of the path is crucial.

The heart of a strong person and the heart of a weak person essentially have no issues, it’s a difference in approach.

A strong person needs to have the courage to forge ahead; a weak person should understand facing reality and cautiously seek survival.

Both are correct.

They can coexist but cannot be compatible, a primary and secondary must exist!

A strong person can charge forward ten thousand times but choose caution in certain dilemmas.

A weak person can be cautious ten thousand times but dare to take risks and forge ahead in crucial moments.

However, one person can’t be too divided. In terms of temperament, only one can be chosen as the core.

There has to be a distinction between primary and secondary, between ten thousand times and once.

One can’t be strong in five thousand instances and weak in the other five thousand, this will leave a cultivator’s heart and path directionless!

But Chen Yan also found a problem.

He can’t choose between primary and secondary!

In this world, he is strong, but this strength is too illusory; as soon as he goes to the Domain Realm, he becomes weak.

So...

"Which world do I truly belong to?"

Alright, it seems this question is fundamental.

·

The so-called heart demon is often a cultivator encountering a question or contradiction they can’t resolve during their cultivation process.

Who am I?

Where do I come from?

What is my purpose?

Chen Yan now realizes he can’t answer a single one of these questions.

Am I a bottom-tier Third Realm loose cultivator in the Domain Realm, or a prominent figure in the real world?

A loose cultivator has the path of a loose cultivator, a prominent figure has the path of a prominent figure.

Chen Yan suddenly understands that when the old lady kicked him out of the Domain Realm, perhaps it was truly for his own good.

If he continued to shuttle between two worlds, perhaps the division within his mind, his heart demon, would grow larger.

One moment playing a rain-calling prominent figure, the next moment playing a cautious little cultivator.

The old lady might have helped him make the choice directly—eliminating one of the options.

The Domain Realm is something he can’t go to.

At this moment, he suddenly understands the meaning the old lady has been expressing to him all along.

The old lady had said to him: You shouldn’t come to the Domain Realm!

Indeed, he truly shouldn’t go there.

Chen Yan sighed.

·

In many cultivation novels, the protagonist also breaks through one world after another.

In one map, cultivating fully, then rising to a new map, fighting their way up from the bottom.

That actually poses no issues, the mental realm won’t have problems.

Because it’s advancing layer by layer, completing one layer before moving to a new one.

Chen Yan’s biggest problem is that he shouldn’t undertake two worlds at the same time.

·

With this inexplicable irritation, after walking for more than an hour, Chen Yan finally stood in the street.

He turned and walked into a nearby store, coming out holding an ice cream cone.

With his mouth accustomed to the cool and sweet ice cream, Chen Yan stood by the roadside, carefully savoring the sweet taste in his mouth, his restless heart gradually calming down.

He forced himself to set aside all thoughts and concentrate all his attention on the food in his hand, using all his focus to relish the sweetness of the ice cream.

After finishing the cone on the street, he gestured with his hand, and the car following him slowly approached and parked by the roadside.

Chen Yan got into the car, resting his body against the seatback, and the driver respectfully asked, "Mr. Chen, where to?"

Chen Yan thought for a moment: "Take me... to the Yang Family place."

·

The old residence of the Yang Family is actually located at Tai Ping Mountain, a gathering place for the wealthy circle of Port City.

However, Chen Yan has actually been to this place—when the car drove up the mountain road, Chen Yan saw two familiar intersections and suddenly smiled.

This place, he had indeed visited.

When he first came to Port City, he dealt with that "Elder Zhong," the top "master" of Port City who stole Lu Sisi’s Life Chart, and infiltrated Elder Zhong’s residence.

The old man’s house was around here.

Chen Yan watched the car pass another familiar intersection and suddenly said, "Stop the car."

The driver didn’t hesitate, immediately braking, letting the car slowly park on the side.

Chen Yan opened the car door, stepped out quickly.

He crossed an intersection, walked several hundred meters along the road, reaching a familiar place.

This was a hillside luxury villa.

This was previously Elder Zhong’s residence.

Though the hillside is full of luxury villas for Port City tycoons, actually, there are distinctions between rich people and luxury residences.

Elder Zhong’s mansion could only be considered on the lower side of the hillside, the terrain not great, the mansion size not very large.

It can only barely be considered within this circle.

Standing outside the gate of this mansion, the iron gate is closed, and the iron fence has an official Port City notice posted, briefly glancing over, the message is that this property is temporarily seized by the bank.

Probably after Elder Zhong’s disappearance (death), the assets were ownerless and went through some lawsuits and turmoil, now this house remains in disputes, thus bank-seized.
