Chapter 1426: Truths Of The Godslaying Dao
Her soul fluttered with him entering her mind with an indiscernible yet wonderful feeling. She felt naked as her seal has been opened by him as if he could see through her completely.
Not to mention an assassin, 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 for the flame. This sense of willingness couldn’t be described with words.
She did feel slightly embarrassed with 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 astonishment. She took several steps back in fear and stared at him as if he was a ghost.
“You, you know some demonic arts!” This was simply inconceivable in her mind. Because of her steady mind and dao heart along with cultivation, she wouldn’t be awed so easily. However, she was captivated by his charisma and became seemingly possessed, unable to resist him. He was actually able to open her sealed domain! This was simply impossible and her sea of memories should have exploded into nothingness!
Alas, he opened it so easily as if her domain didn’t guard against him. What made she feel even more scared was that deep inside, she might be enjoying this feeling from this feeling. Him opening the sealed domain was the same to opening her Godslaying Dao’s palace entrance, as if he could go there and hand the keys towards its secrets to her.
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 said plainly: “Welcome back. This is the real Godslaying Dao. Your previous perception of assassins was misguided. They are not just killing machines without emotions and 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 before her eyes and gave her a warm feeling. Countless feelings raged in her heart as if she has 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 used to be so emotionless back then. Arrogance and pride were present but not so cold and heartless.
However, after failing in the competition for the sect master’s position against the Swiftdao God, her fate changed as she embarked on the path of the Godslaying Dao. This changed her from a pampered daughter to an assassin. During her training, she was as cold as ice like the sword inher hand. She became a weapon in order to kill!
However, she felt a return to the olden days and felt her heart jumping as if she was no longer an assassin!
Li Qiye saw her expression. He was too familiar with this process and gently shook his head: “This is something everyone need to experience. In the beginning, many think the the Godslaying Dao is an art of subterfuge, a ruthless weapon for kill. However, even a tool for killing doesn’t need to be cold and emotionless. An assassin is himself first before being 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 assassin 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 seriously: “It is not about removing emotional fluctuation completely. Think of it as cultivation. Is your dao heart so easily shaken? With a strong one, 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.
