916 You... Return my Innocence! (1/2)
In an instant, everyone suddenly woke up from their memories, discovering that many of their faces had already been stained with tears!
The people in this room all had extremely profound cultivations, and their ages were incredibly great. These people had long ago forgotten the feeling of crying; but as they felt the tears running down their cheeks, they realized that actually, they had never truly forgotten how to cry!
The eyes of the crowd was complicated and the way they looked at Jun Mo Xie was somewhat strange.
”Everyone, the path of the Martial Dao has always been a difficult and long one, and it's undoubtedly a battle with oneself. It's a battle with one's innate laziness, a battle with one's own personality, and most importantly… it's a battle with one's own feelings!”
Jun Mo Xie smiled charmingly and continued. ”Sentiments are hard to break, and it has historically been one of the greatest heart's demons of cultivation and the most powerful shackles! Countless heroes have all fallen to this barrier of emotions since times past.
”It's not to say that because a person had experienced the love between a man and a woman, that they would have seen through the barrier of emotions, severing the thread of carnal love with the sword of wisdom. As long as love existed before, it will never be seen through or be severed! Every single one of you has lived for thousands of years, and you think yourselves to have seen through the weight of your emotions… However, there would inevitably be moments when you could not help but to recall! The longer you suppress your emotions, the more unbearable it will be when you think of it! And because of that, the more difficult it would be to get through the heart's demon in your cultivation! This is especially so for your breakthroughs… Perhaps the lightning tribulation alone would be sufficient to claim your lives!”
Even as tears stained their faces, everyone began to ponder over his words seriously.
”Of your cultivation right now… a portion of that is the heart's demon that you've cultivated! The greater your strength, the stronger it grows! At this rate, it will sooner or later be impossible to ever free yourself of the heart's demon's grasp. One day, the backlash from the heart's demon will claim your souls, utterly destroying you!” Jun Mo Xie explained slowly.
”Then… how do we break the shackles of the heart's demon?” The first person on the right asked. His eyes were filled with tears as he raised his head. ”This barrier of emotions… how do we transcend it?”
This person's relationship with his wife had been the deepest among all of them. When his beloved wife had died that year, he'd nearly given up on living… After so many years, everytime he thought of it, he would still brood endlessly in sorrow. Looking at Jun Mo Xie, he said with a sad voice, ”If passing the barrier of emotions means to wipe her away from my heart… this old man… would rather have my soul destroyed!”
”Everyone has different methods to transcend the barrier of emotion. What is suitable for me might not be suitable for you.” Jun Mo Xie smiled lightly and said. ”However, this barrier of emotion is definitely not passed by suppressing or forgetting your emotions! Thus.. everyone should let nature take its course!”
”Let nature take its course…” A look of confusion appeared on everyone's face.
”There are some… who used tears to transcend the barrier of emotion…” Jun Mo Xie said in a solemn voice. ”According to legends… his face was still flowing with tears of love for his wife even after he'd crossed through the lightning tribulation… The depth of this person's emotion… can be easily imagined!”
”Using tears to transcend the barrier of emotion?” This statement sounded somewhat ridiculous in the ears of the crowd. But when thought about it carefully, they feel that it was not completely illogical. But as for where the logic lay, no one could tell…
”Everyone, this junior shall gift a sentence to you today, as compensation for the favor you've shown me this time.” Jun Mo Xie smiled lightly and said. ”In a moment, I will still need to take something away from her; may Seniors not hold it against me.”
”Don't worry, as long as it's something you like, apart from us only being able to give you one stalk of the Exquisite Lotus, you can take whatever else you want, as much as you need!”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Everyone practically promised at the same time as they thought to himself. What can this kid take away from here? We've already promised you the Exquisite Lotus. There's also nothing good here left for you to take away. As for those heavenly treasures, all of them are growing from the ground; even if you wanted to bring them away, you won't be able to… In that case, we might as well act in a more generous way…
”In that case, this junior thanks the many Seniors here.” Jun Mo Xie laughed in a strange manner as he nodded. ”The sentence I will gift Seniors is this: The barrier of emotions has always been treated as a fearsome tiger to overcome; but if you look at it from another angle… The heart's demon, might not necessarily be unable to instead become a form of help…”
This last sentence had been purposefully dragged out by Jun Mo Xie to convey its meaning. After he was done, everyone fell into deep thoughts.
”The heart's demon… might not necessarily be unable to instead become a form of help…” Everyone sucked in a breath of air and furrowed their brows, seemingly having comprehended something and seemingly not. In that moment, their hearts were unable to be at rest…
”Everyone's trial of the emotions is already right before you; this junior trusts that after Seniors pass through this trial, you will have your own comprehensions on the matter. This junior had been presumptuous earlier, using a secret hypnotive technique in my voice to stir up Seniors' emotions. If there was any impoliteness on this junior behalf, I seek Seniors' understanding.” Jun Mo Xie smiled and said.
Jun Mo Xie's face was somewhat pale after hypnotizing so many peak level experts at once. Although the mental power he'd been using was supported by the Hongjun Pagoda, he himself had also been exhausted.
”There's no need to be so polite! Young friend Jun, your words have helped us unravel the mist in our minds, pointing out a path for us. For this, we're already so grateful to you; how would we still blame you? Besides, we'd also allowed ourselves to be led by your magic. Otherwise… hur hur… Today, our warm memories of thousands of years had been stirred up, bringing with it a myriad of emotions… From the looks of it, we'll need to go into secluded cultivation immediately for a period of time…”
The first person on the right answered. From his voice, he was very grateful towards Jun Mo Xie.
The others also expressed their agreement, and their eyes grew much warmer…
”Many thanks.” Jun Mo Xie smiled and cupped his fists. ”Since Seniors are going into secluded cultivation, this junior will be going ahead to claim the Exquisite Lotus first. After that, I may be staying for a few more days before going on my way.”
”No worries, as long as you like it, you can stay even longer.” Gu Han's voice had a faint hint of a smile as he continued. ”Young friend Jun… there's another matter which I'd like to address.”
”Senior please speak.”
”Young friend Jun, the three Holy Lands and you are now sworn enemies. To this result, it was indeed something that they'd sought themselves, and nobody can be blamed. If you want to seek revenge, we will not shelter or stand on their side as well… We only ask that Young Master Jun can take into account that they've guarded the continent for 10,000 years… to show some mercy, and reconsider a little…” Gu Han's face turned heavy as he sighed.
”The grudge between the Holy Lands and I… keke, I was never a good person, and the debt of blood from before is definitely something that I still need to claim.” Jun Mo Xie smiled and continued. ”It doesn't matter who asks me; as long as it's someone that deserves to die, I've never been gone lightly against them. To this point, I hope that Senior can be understanding.”
One of the strongest expert in this world was asking for mercy on someone else's behalf, but Jun Mo Xie actually would not relent a single step still!
Gu Han sighed deeply, and didn't bring up the matter anymore. He simply looked deeply at Jun Mo Xie and said, ”Qiao Ying, bring young friend Jun Mo Xie to pluck a stalk of Exquisite Lotus. The few of us will not be accompanying you. Send my orders; as long as young friend Jun needs something on this mountain, he can take it away as he wishes. No one is allowed to stop him.” After that, he nodded at Jun Mo Xie. ”Young friend Jun, you can leave by yourself after you've obtained whatever you need. Us old men are anxious to go into secluded cultivation and will not be able to send you off.”
”Senior need not be polite.” Jun Mo Xie hurriedly said as he thought in his heart. Just hurry up and go into seclusion. As long as you undying old farts go into seclusion, I can take whatever I want from this place without any obstruction. Otherwise, this Young Master could have simply give you a word of enlightenment directly; why would I spend so much effort to hypnotize your emotions out?
Undoubtedly, this was the true motive behind Jun Mo Xie's great efforts!
Everything was for the precious heavenly treasures of this Mount Heaven Saint! Only this place had those precious spirit herbs that no other places had! One had to know, that some of the spirit herbs here were essentials for pill refining that Jun Mo Xie would need once he reached the Sixth or Seventh layer, yet having never come across them yet! From the looks of it, they were stuff that even the Nine Nether First Young Master hadn't managed to collect. This also proved one thing: even if one's personal strength was great enough to be unrivalled under the heavens, it was still not as useful as having the deep foundations of a powerful faction…
The green light shining in Jun Mo Xie's eyes nearly capped the entire mountain in green…
If such a large amount of good stuff with such good quality was free for you to pick, wouldn't you be anxious as well?!
Jun Mo Xie held back his impatience, bidding farewell to the old seniors warmly and respectfully. After a round of acting reluctant to part, and agreeing to some of their requests… he was finally… done.
Jun Mo Xie spat out a long breath of air and wiped away his sweat. Thereafter, he swayed his butt and swaggered off exaggeratedly, cursing to himself: ”F*ck, those old fellows are truly exhausting, this Young Master nearly suffered an internal injury from exasperation ah…”
Behind him, Qiao Ying looked in shock as the previously elegant and graceful Young Master suddenly transformed into a foul mouthed hoodlum…
My goodness, to think this fellow actually had the face to call us two-faced and shameless. This brat is the true two faced hypocrite! The angel is him, and the devil is him as well!
”Where's your Exquisite Lotus?” Jun Mo Xie asked with some impatience.
”Follow me and you'll see it.” Qiao Ying snorted unkindly as she turned around, not willing to look at this quick face changing bastard. Gritting her teeth and forcefully refraining herself from slapping him across the face, she stomped off.
Jun Mo Xie cackled sinisterly, quickly following behind her. He had to admit, that this exquisite beauty walking in front of him was truly a little too eye-catching. Her fragrant scent travelled down with the wind, floating directly into his nose, causing him to feel somewhat intoxicated…
In order to fully appreciate this scene, Young Master Jun quietly dropped back a few steps and looked forward with a smile. The more he looked, the more he felt that this beauty's backview was impeccable…
He could not help but sigh a few times in admiration. Such an exquisite and country toppling beauty was actually single year after year…
What a waste of heaven's treasure ah! Jun Mo Xie sighed to the sky. Is that All Seeing Eye… really so important? This silly lass had actually sacrificed like that stupidly for over a thousand years… Why couldn't she have thought for herself for just a moment? Before her, there weren't any people with the All Seeing Eye. Yet, didn't they still win the War for Seizing the Heavens?
