Zixia Fairy was heartbroken, torn between her master who raised her and taught her all her skills, who was like a mother to her.
On one hand, there's the person she fell in love with at first sight and who was destined for her; she can't bear to part with either of them.
She could only choose her master, because he had raised her and loved and cared for her from childhood to adulthood.
"Goodbye, Great Sage!"
Zixia Fairy arrived at the gate of the Great Sage's dojo and looked through the crack in the door, tears streaming down her face.
"Sigh~" Seeing his beloved disciple so sad, Mo Wenxian felt bad too.
She is the most loyal follower of the Supreme Way of Forgetting Emotions. She did not cultivate this way because she was hurt by love, but rather she discovered that this way is the path of enlightenment after she came into contact with it.
Mo Wenxian had only one regret in her life: she could not become an immortal. She placed all her hopes on Fairy Zixia, hoping that she could shine brightly in the Dao of Supreme Oblivion, achieve immortality, and make up for her regret.
"I have been selfless my whole life, but today I will be selfish just this once!"
...
Inside the Great Sage's dojo, Qiongqi and the Yellow Emperor embraced the Great Sage and shared with him matters of love between men and women, including how to express one's feelings and how to get along.
To the surprise of Qiongqi and the Yellow Emperor, the Great Sage listened very attentively.
The Great Sage is not the ugly figure with a hairy face and thunderous mouth, standing four feet tall, as rumored. In human form, he is a handsome and tall man. Many of his images are folk tales.
"Brother, in my opinion, Fairy Zixia is your destiny!" Qiongqi said solemnly. How could the karmic connection between the Great Sage and Fairy Zixia escape Qiongqi's discerning eye?
The Yellow Emperor, standing to the side, said solemnly:
"Brother, if you're too embarrassed to speak up, I'll speak for you. If all else fails, let Brother Ling do it; he's better at talking than any of us!"
After a fierce internal struggle, the Great Sage nodded. He was a man of strong emotions, and he wanted to understand the origin of the causal chain.
"Who!" Qiongqi suddenly looked towards the door, reached out and grabbed Zixia Fairy, instantly pulling her into the room.
Upon seeing that it was Fairy Zixia, Qiongqi quickly released her and laughed:
"Zixia, you've come at the right time! The Great Sage..."
Before she could finish speaking, the tearful Fairy Zixia looked deeply at the Great Sage and said in a trembling voice:
"Great Sage, I'm sorry, please forget me! I'm trying my best to forget you too!"
After saying that, she immediately rushed out of the dojo, afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would change her mind.
Seeing this, Qiongqi and Huangdi looked at each other, completely baffled.
The moment Fairy Zixia turned around, the Great Sage felt as if his heart was being torn apart, and his emotions became increasingly volatile.
Qiongqi quickly placed his hand on his shoulder to comfort him:
"Brother, don't get agitated, there must be some misunderstanding!"
However, the Great Sage's emotions became increasingly uncontrollable. He was both a Celestial King and a Demon King, and he could see the reluctance and grievance in Fairy Zixia's eyes at a glance.
"Someone must have forced her!"
As he spoke, the Great Sage swung his staff, ready to smash the Mo Wenxian Dojo. He had once dared to venture alone into the Divine Realm for the sake of justice and to confront the powerful Buddhist sect. Now, for the sake of love, he dared to slaughter all those who stood in his way.
At this moment, Ling Yun suddenly appeared and said:
"Leave it to me!"
In an instant, the Great Sage's agitated emotions calmed down, and only Ling Yun could earn his complete trust.
Ling Yun laughed and said, "Your fate with Fairy Zixia is predestined!"
After saying that, he flashed to Mo Wenxian's dojo.
Upon seeing Ling Yun, Mo Wenxian quickly performed a Taoist kowtow, understanding Ling Yun's purpose: "Senior Ling, my mind is made up on this matter, there is no need for you to persuade me further!"
Facing the powerful Immortal King, Mo Wenxian remained fearless, not because she possessed great strength or a powerful backer, but because her personality was too stubborn and inflexible; once she made up her mind, not even ten thousand ancient oxen could sway her.
Ling Yun remained calm and spoke indifferently:
"Sect Leader Mo, please finish reading it before you speak!"
After speaking, Ling Yun waved his hand, and the River of Time appeared. He selected three images and showed them to Mo Wenxian.
The first image depicts a woman who tragically falls into the sea and perishes. Her lingering soul transforms into a red phoenix, seeking to fill the sea and avenge herself. The seashore is devoid of pebbles, consisting only of continuous, bare, and hard rocks.
The red phoenix had no choice but to use its beak to break the rocks and carry the pebbles to fill the sea. Each time it got tired, it would rest on a rock.
Day after day, year after year, the stone, with its spirit, witnessed Hongluan's perseverance and persistence. Seeing that Hongluan's beak was rotten and could not be healed, yet she still persisted, the stone felt heartbroken and unknowingly fell in love with the strong and unyielding Hongluan. He gave up his chance to become a demon and shattered his own stone body so that Hongluan could easily carry the rubble to fill the sea.
The second scene also features a stone used to mend the sky. A little rabbit has found this place because there's a hole underneath the stone that would be perfect for it to live in. The little rabbit stares at the stone intently, murmuring:
Is that you?
The rabbit is the reincarnation of Hongluan, and she can never forget the stone that shattered for her sake; she senses the same aura.
The stone is still the same stone, and this place was originally that sea. Through the vicissitudes of time, they met again in the same spot. The stone said:
"It's me! I will protect you well in this life. I can become a demon in five hundred years!"
The rabbit was very happy and made its cave beautiful. It talked to the stone every day.
A hundred years later, an extreme cold descended upon the world. The rabbit, whose cultivation was not high enough to withstand the severe cold, began to lose her life force. She gazed at the stone and murmured:
"Brother, don't be sad. I'm content with having you by my side in this life. You've protected me for two lifetimes. If we meet again in the next life, I will protect you!"
The third painting depicts the Great Sage being suppressed in Tian Sheng City on the Golden Cloud Continent fifty years ago. A calico cat, about to become a demon, sees the Great Sage's head being smashed open and his brains about to be devoured. She immediately recognizes it as Brother Stone.
The calico cat gave up its chance to become a demon and used all its cultivation to climb to the top of the mountain, wanting to break the seal, but was mercilessly killed by Buddhist restrictions.
On her deathbed, she gazed down the mountain and murmured, "Brother, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you in this life. Please wait for me in another life."
The calico cat perished, and the Great Sage shed tears for the first time since becoming a demon.
After seeing the three images, Mo Wenxian was already in tears. How could she not see that this was her beloved disciple's past life?
Ling Yun said:
"Through three lifetimes, you protected me for two lifetimes, and I will protect you in the next life." This is the obsession of Hongluan, the rabbit, and the calico cat, and also the obsession of Fairy Zixia.
Their destiny began at the beginning of time and has continued to this day. Sect Master Mo, by stopping Fairy Zixia, you are going against the will of Heaven!
You want Fairy Zixia to achieve the Supreme Path of Forgetfulness, which is not wrong! The mistake lies in the fact that without emotion, how can one achieve the Supreme Path of Forgetfulness!
Is the Supreme Being's detachment from emotions truly devoid of feeling?
You've not only prevented a destiny that has lasted for millions of years and a woman's promise to her beloved, but also the true path of transcending emotions.
The reason you failed to become an immortal is because your path of love is flawed!
Ling Yun's words struck Mo Wenxian like a thunderbolt, leaving him ashamed and bewildered, and he suddenly understood.
