Legends are a retelling of past events that are passed down, and are also uncertain events. In many cases, facts are distorted, exaggerated, or belittled in the process of dissemination.
The ancient Taoist sect was just a legend to Qiong Yu. She didn’t know how far back in time it was, but it was definitely more than tens of thousands of years ago, or even farther.
"My brothers and sisters don't know about the ancient Dao Sect either. In the ancient times, the world was like a muddy flood, or it can be said that it has never changed from ancient times to the present. In the cultivation world, records and civilization are not normal. A catastrophe can wash away everything, and only a few of the strongest can survive."
"But I can show you my 10,000-year memory."
Qiong Yu tapped her head lightly, and saw wisps of memories emanating from her soul, displayed to Li Yi without reservation.
In the cultivation world, this is a deeper kind of submission than being a "slave". Soul and memory are the most private things of a living being. No one wants to expose themselves nakedly in front of others. This not only involves self-esteem, but also endangers their own safety.
Even if they were slaves, they might have had bad thoughts and resentments in their hearts. If their masters saw them, they would not end well.
But Qiong Yu has always been very clear about the position of his "Bottle-Holding Boy". Their only role is to help the great supernatural powers to act as a front. It would be best if they can be used, but if they can't be used, at least they have to be obedient.
She has little self-esteem and her thoughts are extremely pure.
She really started to think about things after reincarnation. For Tiandi Qingling, this state of thinking is abnormal. However, it also brought some benefits to Qiong Yu. She began to have a certain degree of subjective initiative and knew how to make judgments on her own initiative.
For example, her first decision was to practice and separate from Bai Shi as soon as possible to avoid being affected by the two souls in one body.
Now comes the second judgment, Li Yi is worthy of her submission and trying her best to please him.
Memories turn into light ink, and an extremely vast painting slowly unfolds.
In the picture, Qiong Yu does not have a clear entity, but is just a ball of invisible and colorless gas, standing quietly in a mountain somewhere, without changing for thousands of years.
The memory flashed by quickly, and a thousand years passed in just one breath.
Qiong Yu met her first "sister". A golden bird landed on the top of the mountain, looked at Qiong Yu, and released a breath of fresh air.
It is also a pure spirit of heaven and earth, but it is more agile than Qiong Yu and more like a living being.
"What's your name, little one?"
"No name."
"Then I will give you the name Qiong Yu, and you can call me sister from now on."
"Um."
It was a very brief exchange, and they established a relationship in just a few seconds. But in the eyes of ordinary creatures, the communication between the pure spirits of heaven and earth would not be hidden.
Many things can be communicated through the interaction of Qi. Countless interactions are contained behind a few short sentences.
The golden bird flew away from the mountains, and Qiong Yu continued to look into the distance.
For a long time afterwards, Qiong Yu stayed where she was as usual. The only difference was that she joined a "family". Some action-oriented spirits would visit her and tell her about their experiences, and then they would embark on their journey again.
It goes on and on, and every one of us is just a passerby.
Later, Qiong Yu realized that she was one of the more powerful pure spirits of heaven and earth. Most of her kind could not reach her level. She was far superior to most creatures in the world from the moment she was born.
It was also the first time that Li Yi observed a pure spirit of heaven and earth up close. The more he looked, the more familiar it felt.
In a sense, it fits the meaning of the Supreme Being's forgetfulness of emotions, or at least fits the superficial understanding of forgetfulness by most cultivators.
With a completely detached mentality, ignore everything and abandon all emotions.
Li Yi suspected that the Qingxiu sect was most likely based on these pure spirits of heaven and earth, and after a long period of evolution, it eventually formed a cultivation school. Many of the human race's magic skills also came from this, everything originated from learning and imitating heaven and earth.
"Were you always like this before? Indifferent to everything, with a heart as calm as still water and as solid as a stone." Li Yi asked.
Qiong Yu nodded and answered truthfully: "Or maybe this current state is abnormal for me. I think about more things in a day now than I did in a hundred years in my previous life."
If I compare my reaction to the outside world to an object, then in my previous life, I was a mountain, which could hardly cause any waves even if it was hit by wind and rain. But now, I am a piece of driftwood, which can be tossed up and down by just a wave.
She would feel happy to play Candy Crush, be attracted by the meaningless content on human phones, feel happy, sad, and angry...
"It's also an opportunity." Li Yi gave a little hint, "The Supreme Forgetfulness is not emotionlessness, but being indifferent and emotionless. How can you forget emotions when you are born emotionless? Do you see any Saint Kings who are emotionless and desireless?"
"Having never experienced the three thousand strands of worry and the ten thousand feet of worldly troubles, the so-called supreme forgetfulness is just sour grapes."
Qiong Yu was stunned, as if this was the truth.
"Then, Senior Immortal, am I okay now?"
"Good and bad are relative. Whether it is good or bad depends on you. If you can realize the truth, it is good. If you can live a leisurely and happy life like this, it is not bad either."
Li Yi did not give a clear answer, because cultivation is not an exam, there are no standard answers or templates.
The best he can do is to give others appropriate advice based on his own preferences and experiences, such as forgetting love does not mean being heartless.
The fact that the pure spirits of heaven and earth are born without emotions is a defect. Their so-called supreme forgetfulness of emotions is as childish as the awakening of children on the Internet who "see through the worldly affairs".
