"Brother Dongfang, you’re still as clever as you always were...
"It’s just...
"After seeing through my thousand years of experiences, you can still speak to so calmly... Is this your Seven Emotions Sword Heart? Did you always see as just another tool, from beginning to end, rely for dealing with that Great Demon?"
"..." Wang Mu.
Hey, hey, hey, don’t talk nonsense! How can one spout such words carelessly? How can matters of a ga be called a tool?
"But in the previous Illusion Realm..." Mu Lanxin murmured, "you clearly cultivated the Seven Emotions Divine Skill with , and we reached the very end together... Why is it that even my experiences can’t stir your emotions?"
She looked at Wang Mu, her Taoist Heart seeming to undergo various changes, the Divine Heart Fla around her sotis extinguishing, sotis flaring:
"Is my thousand years of waiting truly aningless to you?"
Indeed, although Mo Xilan did throw Wang Mu into the Divine Heart Fla, in reality, its power was under her control. She allowed Wang Mu to witness her thousand years of experiences within the Heart Fla. He saw her painstaking wait and her step-by-step struggle to survive, all so her beloved Brother Dongfang would return to her side.
There was no fault in that.
And there certainly was a sche.
Undoubtedly, after witnessing Mo Xilan’s experiences, Wang Mu was deeply moved, although many doubts still lingered. But her thod was just like the Illusion Realm he had experienced before. Only this ti, the main character had beco her, and he had beco a bystander.
It’s just...
"aningful..." Wang Mu stated.
"aningful how?"
"I feel I’m not worthy of you," Wang Mu said.
"..." Mu Lanxin.
"So, you think you’re worthy of *them*?" Mu Lanxin’s gaze began to shift. Her calm tone carried an indescribable extremism, and the radiance around her body changed from bright to dark—a reflection of the change in her Taoist Heart.
"Why?"
Wang Mu’s heart jolted.
From those thousand years of experiences, he knew that Mo Xilan was at a very critical juncture. Especially when that final shackle had been imposed in her mories, she had reached a certain threshold. As she had said, perhaps she really didn’t have much ti left.
「Outside. Immortal Cloud Peak.」
Instantly, wind surged and clouds gathered. A strand of fla, once rely bright in the void, began to blaze fiercely. Unbridled energy poured forth from it—the supre power of an Ascension Realm expert, a light capable of altering the world itself.
Everyone was inwardly shocked. What on earth had happened? This was supposed to be a productive discussion of the Tao, so why did it suddenly feel like the apocalypse?
The leading elders exchanged glances, detecting each other’s profound dread.
"What exactly are these two discussing?"
The few were puzzled. The terrifying pressure made their Primordial Spirits feel immobile. This was indeed an extraordinary celestial phenonon, but clearly an inauspicious one! What could it possibly an?
"Granny Gu, what’s going on here?" Cheng Tianyong’s heart sank. This pressure was too unusual, sowhat similar to when Elder Yan was Crossing her Tribulation.
Granny Gu frowned and remained silent, unsure of the situation.
"This might be... a change in the Taoist Heart," Master Pujue from the Ancient Zen Temple said in a low voice. "This is not good. The Taoist Heart of an Ascension Realm expert is usually indestructible, beyond the influence of others...
"A change in the Taoist Heart implies the one involved in the Dao discussion is experiencing significant Primordial Spirit fluctuations.
"Strange... Even if that little cultivator is his Taoist couple, it’s impossible for her to cause such a massive fluctuation in the Taoist Heart and Primordial Spirit of an Ascension Realm powerhouse... What kind of Dao discussion are they even having?
"Under such circumstances... it’s either being pushed to the brink of death before an on of rebirth appears, or direct demise, or... so other unfavorable change may occur..."
At this, Master Pujue trailed off, not finishing his sentence.
Hearing this, the others understood and nearly had their souls frightened out of their bodies.
「anwhile. Inside the Pill Furnace.」
Wang Mu sensed it. Mo Xilan was on the verge of succumbing to darkness. He didn’t fully understand the Ascension Realm; he could only guess based on Mo Xilan’s current state. It wasn’t entirely because of him. The vast majority was due to her thousand-year ordeal. Her cultivation talent wasn’t high, certainly not like Mu Hongyuan or Miss You, who possessed extraordinary gifts. Therefore, her Taoist Heart was naturally far less steadfast than theirs. Take Mu Hongyuan, for instance. It was purely due to the limitations of her Cultivation Technique that she couldn’t cultivate; otherwise, she would have achieved Ascension long ago. Miss You was constrained by a powerful curse, but her Taoist Heart was sound. Yan Qingwu’s Taoist Heart, needless to say, was incomparably resilient—it’s a mystery how she even cultivated it. Her only Heart Demon was her inability to achieve Ascension. However, if she hadn’t forcibly attempted Ascension, nothing would have happened to her. Mo Xilan was different. People prone to overthinking and suspicion often find it harder to see things clearly, and their Taoist Hearts are consequently less stable.
"Wait a mont," Wang Mu suddenly said.
Mo Xilan’s aura shifted as she spoke softly, "Brother Dongfang, have you changed your mind?"
Wang Mu shook his head. "No, I’ve thought of a way I can help you."
"What way?" Mo Xilan’s voice carried a hint of bewildernt.
"Could you show the true Divine Heart Fla?" Wang Mu asked.
Though her mind was in great turmoil, Mo Xilan still complied with Wang Mu’s request and revealed the true Divine Heart Fla.
The true Divine Heart Fla was a pure, radiant gold. Its flowing light emanated terrifying energy, seeming capable of incinerating everything in existence while simultaneously reflecting it all.
"You once said that our spirit flas are connected, and our hearts are as one," Wang Mu said slowly. "Any tornt I endure, you can empathize with. Likewise, any pain you suffer, I can also empathize with.
"I cannot truly know the depth of your thousand years of longing.
"Although Dongfang Mu will not return, I can help you bear this pain."
Wang Mu dispelled his Spiritual Artifact and activated the Seven Emotions Pill Technique. This ti, however, he didn’t absorb any other Spiritual dicines.
"My Seven Emotions Pill Technique has reached the Perfect Realm," Wang Mu said slowly. "This is thanks to that Yiqing Ti-Space Orchid. And from observing your thousand years of experiences, I believe this Pill Technique still has room for improvent."
"What?" Mo Xilan asked, bewildered. She had no idea how her Seven Emotions Pill Technique could be further improved.
"The Seven Emotions Pill Technique enhances one’s cultivation by absorbing the dicinal power of refined Spirit Pills."
Wang Mu closed his eyes. "The more types of Elixirs refined, the stronger one’s cultivation becos.
"But, I wonder, what if there’s another cultivation thod?"
"What thod?"
"To use oneself as the Elixir, refining oneself into a Spiritual Pill," Wang Mu stated.
"..." Mo Xilan.
As he finished speaking, a layer of purple flas ignited around Wang Mu.
"This ti, by offering a human as the Elixir, I will win a thread of Tianji for another.
"I am your finest Spiritual Pill."
As his words faded, the world outside resonated with ancient harmonies. Bursts of wondrous, multicolored light descended—it was the breath of the Great Taoist. Magnificent light cascaded from beyond the heavens like a waterfall, exuding an ancient and sacred aura. A brilliant phantom of a Spiritual Pill descended from the sky, accompanied by a Golden Lotus and the ethereal forms of a dragon and phoenix. It fell into that wisp of fla, shaking the entire Nine Provinces.
The countless cultivators of Immortal Cloud Peak were astounded; this spectacular vision instantly tore through the gloomy cage of clouds that had just ford.
「At the sa ti, inside the Pill Furnace,」
Wang Mu, his body engulfed in flas, leaped into the Divine Heart Fla, making contact.
With the Heart Fla as the fire, himself as the dicinal ingredient, and the Seven Emotions as the technique, he would refine himself into a peerless Spiritual Pill to awaken the woman who had struggled through a thousand years of unrequited love...
This was another path, the Seven Emotions Pill Path.
From within the sparse Weaving Fla, only a voice, first trembling then alard, echoed back:
"Don’t..."
