Chapter 1426: Truths Of The Godslaying Dao (1/2)

Her soul fluttered as Li Qiye entered her mind, but she had an indiscernible yet wonderful feeling. She felt naked as Li Qiye opened her seal; it felt as if he could see through her completely.

Not to mention an a.s.sa.s.sin, even an ordinary cultivator knew just how taboo it was to let someone else read your memories. She wanted to resist, but Li Qiye’s charisma possessed her like a moth running to a flame. This sense of willingness couldn’t be described with words.

She did feel slightly embarra.s.sed due to this intrusion because everything about her was lying bare before him.

Finally, he let go of her. Her wits returned as well as an incredible sense of astonishment. She took several steps back in fear and stared at him as if he was a ghost.

“You, you know some demonic arts!” In her mind, this was simply inconceivable. Because of her steady mind and dao heart along with her powerful cultivation, she wouldn’t be awed so easily. However, she was captivated by his charisma and was seemingly possessed to the point where she was unable to resist him. He was actually able to open her sealed domain! This was simply impossible, her sea of memories should have exploded into nothingness!

Alas, he opened it so easily that it made it seem as if her domain didn’t resist him. What made her feel even more scared was that deep inside, she might be enjoying this feeling. Him opening the sealed domain was the same to opening her G.o.dslaying Dao’s palace entrance. It was as if he could go there and hand her the keys to its secrets.

In this instant, she felt as if she was willingly letting go of all resistance towards him so that he could grant her everything. He was the light on her path towards the grand dao, illuminating her life. While basking in this warm and splendid radiance, she could see her future.

Li Qiye plainly said: “Welcome back. This is the real G.o.dslaying Dao. Your previous perception of a.s.sa.s.sins was misguided. They are not just killing machines without emotions or feelings. It looks like the person who taught you the dao had a slanted understanding of it. Your comprehension of this dao was stopped at a relatively shallow level.”

She looked at him in fear. After hearing his statement, she suddenly realized something. A light flashed in her eyes and gave her a warm feeling. Countless feelings raged in her heart as if she had returned to the past. Her sealed heart had it layers unwrapped one by one.

Sima Yujian and Bai Jianzhen were different. Jianzhen started on the ultimate heartless sword dao at a young age. Because of this, her coldness was a murderous sword dao formed in a natural manner.

As for Sima Yujian, she didn’t use to be so emotionless back then. Arrogance and pride were present, but she wasn’t this cold and heartless.

However, after losing to the Swiftdao G.o.d in the compet.i.tion for the sect master’s position, her fate changed as she embarked on the path of the G.o.dslaying Dao. This changed her from a pampered daughter to an a.s.sa.s.sin. During her training, she was as cold as ice like the sword in her hand. She became a weapon destined to kill!

However, she felt a return to the olden days. Her heart was jumping as if she was no longer an a.s.sa.s.sin!

Li Qiye noticed her expression. He was too familiar with this process and gently shook his head: “This is something everyone needs to experience. In the beginning, many will think that the G.o.dslaying Dao is an art of subterfuge, a ruthless weapon for killing. However, even a tool for killing doesn’t need to be cold and emotionless. An a.s.sa.s.sin is primarily himself and then a weapon. If you aren’t even a person, how can you achieve a grand dao?”

She wanted to speak, but silence was the better answer.

“I know what you want to say.” He read her like an open book: “That’s right, an a.s.sa.s.sin has no need for a wavering heart, especially during the hunt; they need to be emotionless! However, this created some erroneous interpretations for many people.”

“Do you know where the problem lies?” He continued in a serious tone: “It is not about removing emotional fluctuations completely. Think of it as cultivation. Is your dao heart so easily shaken? With a strong dao heart, your will will be as firm as a rock. However, this doesn’t mean that you are an emotionless weapon.”

She listened attentively to his preaching.

Li Qiye noticed this and slowly continued: “The G.o.dslaying Dao and the night corps. As an a.s.sa.s.sin, you can consider yourself a monarch drifting through the night. However, just because you lurk in the shadows doesn’t mean you are darkness. You are searching for your own light in the darkness, or perhaps even the light of this world.”
