Chapter 310: You’ll Only Understand After Experiencing It
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
The moment Mo Wuji stepped foot on the Deathmatch Battlestage, Bei Suting’s gaze turned towards Yan’Er. Here, the only person who could recognise Mo Wuji was Yan’Er. Even though she had heard various things about Mo Wuji from Linglong, she had never personally seen him.
Yan’Er calmly nodded, ”Sister Suting, he is indeed Mo Wuji, and he is, in fact, from the Heaven Seeking Palace.”
…
The scene when they met each other appeared in front of Yan’Er’s eyes.
”That’s right, it’s me. Yan’Er, you don’t remember the past?”
”Brother Mo, even though I may not remember what happened in the past, but my master told me, to always remember your kindness. If you didn’t save me, perhaps I might have long been dead.”
”Brother Mo, this is a token of my appreciation. Even though it does not mean much in front of your kindness… I hope Brother Mo would not throw them away…”
”Yan’Er, if you want to know about your past memories, I can tell them to you.”
”Brother Mo, my senior apprentice sister told me, the reason why my cultivation is so much faster than other people is because my heart is pure; it’s free from distractions and emotions. If I know too many things about my past, I might not be able to cultivate with such speed. But I’m still very grateful to Brother Mo. Thank you.”
”Many thanks Lady Yan’Er for your gift, I will keep it… Actually, there’s nothing much about our past, I’ve also forgotten most of it. How about this, if Lady Yan’Er encounters any sort of difficulties, you can find me - Mo Wuji. In my heart, I will always be your big brother.”
…
An indescribable feeling flowed deep within her heart; it was as though a nail had been stabbed straight to her heart. However, she soon recovered her calm.
”Yan’Er, are you alright?” Bei Suting sensed the peculiarity within Yan’Er at that instant, and urgently asked.
Yan’Er shook her head, ”It’s nothing much, I suddenly had this strange feeling.”
Bei Suting went silent, only after some time, she said, ”Yan’Er, perhaps you’re right. Perhaps your cultivation is faster than others because your heart is free of distractions. However, cultivation isn’t purely to raise your cultivation level…”
Yan’Er suddenly asked, ”Sister Suting, my master told me, after I built my spirits, following the rise of my cultivation, my memories would gradually disappear. Now, I’m already at True Lake Stage Level 6, does that mean that I will completely be unable to recover my memories?”
She wasn’t a fool, she naturally knew what Bei Suting wanted to talk to her about last night. Even though Bei Suting decided against it, Yan’Er knew what was on her mind.
Bei Suting shook her head, ”The universe is broad and vast, there’s many things we don’t know. There’s no need to talk about your True Lake Stage, even if you really ascended to become a Worldly Immortal, or even an Earthly Immortal, as long as you have the determination, you will definitely be able to recover your memories. However, if you do not have that drive, even if you hadn’t built your spirits, you would never be able to recover your memories.”
”Determination…” Yan’Er muttered that single word; she could feel her determination. When she was with her senior apprentice sister Jinwen, Shi Jinwen would always tell her to forget the shackles of her past and focus on her cultivation. Cultivating without distraction, this was the idea that Shi Jinwen had instilled in her. In reality, it was indeed because of this idea which caused her cultivation to swell rapidly.
However, ever since she was together with Sister Suting, she seemed to be affected by Bei Suting’s ideologies. Cultivation wasn’t the only thing, there were many things more important than cultivation.
Were her thoughts gradually changing because of Bei Suting’s influence?
No… Yan’Er was quick to shake her head. Her thoughts did not start changing after interacting with Bei Suting, but when she first met Rogue Cultivator 2705.
That rogue cultivator risked his own life just to protect her from harm. It slowly let her know, besides cultivation, there was still something else important that was hard to describe. That something was feelings.
”Remember to cultivate properly, work hard to live…” His voice was hoarse and dry, like a nomad that had travelled alone in the desert for an eternal period of time. It was alone and lonely.
For no particular reason, Yan’Er’s nose turned sour and two beads of tears appeared at the corner of her eyes. Ever since she started cultivation, this was the first time she ever felt such feelings. She recalled that Rogue Cultivator 2705; she didn’t even know him but he was willing to sacrifice his life for her own. Before he left, he even advised her to cultivate properly and to work hard to live.
In the past, she didn’t really understand his words. But now, after going through some close death experiences of her own, she finally understood that his words were based on the foundation of his blood, sweat and tears. There was no doubt about it, when they met, didn’t he just fight his way out the encirclement of hundred over alien cultivators? When he left, hadn’t he risk his life and blood to save her? How long did she know Rogue Cultivator 2705? In that short period of time, he had already brushed the shoulders of death twice.
Because of the obstruction from her tears, Mo Wuji’s figure on the stage became a little hazy. The unfamiliar Rogue Cultivator 2705 was willing to exchange his life for hers. While she, just to raise her cultivation level, chose to be free of her heart’s distractions, and was unwilling to accept her past memories, and was reluctant to even care what kind of person Mo Wuji was.
Cultivation without distractions, was that so important? Then what about Mo Wuji’s kindness to her?
Compared to that courageous Rogue Cultivator 2705, she was just an ungrateful, unfeeling cultivation machine.
”Yan’Er, are you really alright?” Bei Suting could feel that there’s something not right with Yan’Er.
