A fatal blow is the most murderous and heartbreaking!
Huo Shen's face suddenly looked a little ugly, but he just took a sip of wine and said nothing more.
Recently, the incident of Shen Qingyi has caused quite a stir in the sect. Even though Bei Chenyuan didn't want to know too much about that disciple when he asked Xu Feng, he couldn't stand the fact that too many people participated, and his own senior brother was among them.
Bei Chenyuan was in a really bad mood.
There was not much emotional fluctuation towards Shen Qingyi. After all, they had no intersection in the past.
He couldn't understand the method given by Patriarch Jiang Yuan.
He couldn't figure it out, and he didn't intend to guess it on his own.
When Jiang Yuan opened the formation in his yard, he saw Bei Chenyuan with a cold face.
"Grandmaster, I came here to ask you something."
Bei Chenyuan is a famous cold and handsome man in the sect and even in the world of immortal cultivation. Even though he has a stern face all year round, it does not affect his appearance at all.
On the contrary, because of his cool and refreshing temperament, he is more popular with some female cultivators.
"Are you going to ask me about Shen Qingyi?"
"yes."
Jiang Yuan smiled gently and let Bei Chenyuan into his yard. The two of them added a pot of good tea. Smelling the fragrance, Jiang Yuan spoke slowly.
"She has some connection with Huo Shen."
Bei Chenyuan frowned slightly.
"Master once said that Senior Brother is alone in this life and has no one to inherit his legacy."
You may even end up on a path of no return because you are too independent.
So over the years, he has been doing things in the sect that his senior brothers don't like, even though he doesn't like managing some miscellaneous matters.
"Did your master ever tell you why he accepted Huo Shen as his disciple?"
Bei Chenyuan's frown deepened.
"fate."
This is what the master told them at the time.
Jiang Yuan looked into the distance and sighed slightly.
Their master was also a genius, but unfortunately, like their uncle, he ultimately failed to survive the disaster in his life.
What a pity...
"Your master accepted him as his disciple partly because of fate, but more because he felt something."
Bei Chenyuan looked up and couldn't help but think in his heart.
"After your uncle's passing, he secluded himself for many years and eventually passed away in the sect. In fact, when your uncle was still alive, the two of them had a sense of each other. The direction they ultimately took was inevitable."
"Disciple doesn't understand."
"This matter has some origins. You can start from the founding ancestor Wuchen and the founding ancestors of your Wuqing Jue, Tanyue and Qifeng, or... even earlier. Beichen, you can put aside your prejudice, not only for Huo Shen and Wenxu Peak, but also for your own sake. You also know the three founding ancestors of Wenxu Peak."
Beichen nodded, although he didn't know why it had gone so far, nor did he understand what was involved...
"You asked about Xufeng's cultivation method. Generally speaking, it can be classified as the Wuqing Dao, but if you break it down in detail, it's divided into three branches. One is the Tanyue Wuqing Jue you practiced, one is the Wangqing Jue that Huo Shen practiced, and the other is the seven-part Wuyu Sword Dao. Later, the Wuqing Jue and Wuyu Sword Dao merged to become the Supreme Wuqing Dao, but the Supreme Wangqing has been unable to merge with it. Why do you think this is? They are all Wuqing Daos recognized by the Heavenly Dao."
Beichen had also thought about this question before, and he didn't understand why there was such an outlier in Wenxufeng's ruthless way.
But after he couldn't figure it out, he thought that there are three thousand great ways, and the way of ruthlessness is naturally not a single one, and he will understand it one day.
Now that Jiang Yuan mentioned it again, he looked at Jiang Yuan.
"Please enlighten me, ancestor."
"At that time, your master and uncle also asked me, and they also asked you, the ancestor of Xufeng. But I didn't understand it at the time, and the ancestor of Xufeng didn't understand it either because he hadn't ascended to heaven. Later, I seemed to understand. Have you ever heard the Buddhist saying, 'If you don't enter the world, how can you understand the world?' You have never felt what love is, so how can you know what true love is like, what true ruthlessness is like?"
"People are always confused by the situation, while those who are on the sidelines can see clearly. They are immersed in it, yet they are still complacent. The world of immortal cultivation today is no longer the world of immortal cultivation in the past. This era is progressing, and some things are bound to lag behind. Sometimes I even wonder, since this world is progressing, then the principles of this world are also improving and changing. Therefore, in the era of the new and the old, those former gods and demons, ancient races, the Holy King Palace, etc. will decline."
After all, they were all the strongest of an era.
He stood up stiffly, holding the teacup in his hand, and shook it gently, but not a drop of tea spilled.
"The Tianfeng Continent has changed, and naturally the Tianxu Sect has changed as well. Over the years, how many changes have we made to keep pace with the times? Even the cultivation techniques have been altered significantly. And is the Wuru Dao of Wenxu Peak still the same Wuru Dao it once was? Or, in changing with it, have we lost something?"
Wen Xufeng's martial arts had naturally changed as well. Just the combination of the Desireless Sword Art and the Heartless Art was something that had never existed in that era.
The Supreme Merciless Art that they combined naturally caused a stir in the world of immortal cultivation. At that time, how many disciples of Wenxu Peak ascended to heaven?
How could the Tianxu Sect not have any records of the glory of that time?
But why has no one ascended to heaven from Wenxu Peak in all these years?
In other words, it's not just Wen Xufeng. Looking at the world of immortal cultivation, how many forces and sects have declined because they have no breakthroughs from high-level cultivators?
The Great Dao may really be perfecting itself, and their number of three thousand Great Daos is just an adjective. As for the true Great Dao, only some powerful beings in the immortal world can comprehend it.
"Before leaving, your master once said that perhaps because of their glory and prejudices, they have been walking on the wrong path, afraid to try and afraid of failure. After all, the people in the world of immortal cultivation all say that the way of ruthlessness should be without emotion or desire."
Facing Jiang Yuan's wise eyes, Bei Chenyuan felt his mind was a little confused.
Jiang Yuan's words were almost contrary to the education he had received in the past and the inheritance of the ruthless way.
Are practitioners of the Heartless Art supposed to be pure and free from desire? Or is it just as the ancestor said?
Jiang Yuan patted Bei Chen's shoulder.
"Your path may not be wrong, but your blind pursuit of so-called 'ruthlessness' may be the fault that has led to the demise of Wenxu Peak. Your master and your uncle, perhaps even your great-grandmaster, must have had doubts."
It’s just that the once glorious Wuqing Dao made the doubts it raised seem timid in the face of glory and the world’s praise.
After all, if one fails to do it well, it means being a heretic and betraying one's teachers and ancestors.
