Chapter 223 Severing the Seven Emotions and Six Desires
Because this power, which inherited the supreme position, was imprisoned by Zhou Xianzong within the power of the Xuanhuang World.
And in the world today, Lin Xiu is the closest to the supreme position.
No one can match him.
Once he successfully obtains this power, Lin Xiu will be able to become a supreme being in an instant.
How could Emperor Zhou Xianzong possibly allow that?
Did you ask me?
With a punch that pierced the air, Zhou Xianzong's strike contained unprecedented power.
He had to give it his all when facing Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu also made a move.
This sword strike encapsulated all his insights into swordsmanship throughout his life.
Lin Xiu was well aware that if he could not defeat Zhou Xianzong, he would have no chance of obtaining the supreme position.
Zhou Xianzong's actions at this moment were aimed at resisting Lin Xiu.
His goal was not just to stop them, but to defeat them.
At this moment, Shi Kui had already begun refining this supreme position.
Shi Kui is fully qualified to successfully refine this supreme position, both in terms of strength and realm.
Of course, this would have been without Zhou Xianzong's help.
Given his own strength and level of expertise, it would be very difficult for him to successfully take over all of this.
It's practically impossible.
However, the supreme position is now within reach.
Once he successfully refines it, he will become the supreme being.
This is what Shi Kui meant by "fortune and wealth are found in danger."
As for the others in Youquan, none of them were jealous, after all, the price Shi Kui paid in this battle was far too terrible.
As for the battle between Zhou Xianzong and Lin Xiu, it had already broken out long ago.
Hundreds of miles of space were shattered into fragments. In the endless dark void, Zhou Xianzong repeatedly blocked Lin Xiu's deadly attacks.
Given the power and might of their battle, it's clear that they had both held back in their last major battle.
Zhou Xianzong is now at a disadvantage, being completely overwhelmed by Lin Xiu.
Not only that, under these circumstances, Lin Xiu has completely revealed his trump card.
It wasn't just the long sword in his hand.
Haotian Mirror, Xuanhuang Bell, ...
The Dao artifacts of those chosen ones of destiny who died in his sect are all in this man's hands.
Lin Xiu's own strength and power were so formidable that they were beyond comprehension.
Zhou Xianzong was completely at a disadvantage.
Zhou Xianzong was not surprised by the current situation.
After all, he is not using the power of the world right now.
It's not that we don't use it, but rather that we can't use it.
Once Zhou Xianzong opens that formation and successfully returns the power of the Xuanhuang World to his own hands, Shi Kui's supreme position may be lost in the next moment.
"Haven't you made a move yet?"
Zhou Xianzong frowned slightly, calculating the time; it should be about time!
However, there was still no abnormal reaction.
"We can't delay any longer."
Zhou Xianzong knew that he had to rely on himself for everything.
As for everything else, it was just a catalyst.
"Lin Xiu, when are you going to finally use your trump card?"
Zhou Xianzong snorted coldly; it was rare for him to be so angry.
In this situation, Lin Xiu should be the one in a hurry, since Shi Kui is already refining the supreme position.
If he succeeds, Lin Xiu's trip will have become meaningless.
However, he was not in a hurry at all.
Lin Xiu knew very well that there was no point in being anxious in front of this person.
He and Zhou Xianzong had dealt with each other more than once.
Therefore, Lin Xiu was very clear that he should not be anxious, especially at times like these.
He was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for a chance to strike.
Once he catches him, Zhou Xianzong won't be able to stop him.
At the same time, a beam of seven-colored light shone directly down from the sky onto the earth.
It descended upon Shi Kui.
Auspicious omens abound, and the supreme being descends.
"This is the moment!"
Lin Xiu made his move instantly.
He knew perfectly well that this was his only chance now.
Once this opportunity is missed, it will be impossible to deal with Zhou Xianzong again.
This was a moment he had been waiting for.
How could we possibly miss it?
"Supreme Lord, forget emotions!"
A sword pierces the sky.
There was no awe-inspiring momentum, nor any earth-shattering power.
It was just a flash of light that disappeared between heaven and earth.
Lin Xiu was waiting for this opportunity, and Zhou Xianzong was also waiting for Lin Xiu to make his move.
Zhou Xianzong was very clear about such opponents, and he even killed one of them.
Zhou Qiwu, the eldest prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The highest path is to transcend emotions.
He forged himself into a sword.
However, Zhou Qiwu took the wrong path.
But Lin Xiu walked the true path of the Great Way.
Or perhaps, this is a road he forged himself.
The Supreme Forgetfulness and the Supreme Demonic Arts—these two lineages spanned almost the entire era of the Two Emperors and Three Sovereigns.
However, as time went by, the tradition was lost.
Furthermore, the rise of the Six Paths of Life and Death under Emperor Zhou completely eclipsed all other traditions.
However, this does not mean that the two traditions no longer exist.
This Lin Xiu clearly inherited the legacy of the Supreme Forgetfulness lineage.
Not only that, he also completely elevated this lineage to a higher level.
It can be said that it shocked countless people.
He is a completely different person from the Zhou Qiwu of the past.
After all, Zhou Qiwu had already gone down the wrong path by then.
Zhou Xianzong was able to detect the anomaly because he had also been exposed to the cultivation practices of the Supreme One lineage.
"As expected, you are no ordinary person!"
A beam of sword light flowed into Lin Xiu's body.
The light shimmered and sparkled.
It displays seven colors.
"Sever all emotions—joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure!"
Within the area enveloped by the sword light, everyone instantly felt as if they had vaguely lost something.
"Slay hatred and resentment once more!"
At this moment, Shi Kui was only one step away from the supreme position, but at this moment, he was in a daze and vaguely did not know what he should do.
This is Lin Xiu's trump card.
The Law of Seven Emotions and Six Desires!
The sword's energy severs the seven emotions and six desires.
It severed Shi Kui's desires and cut off his thoughts.
Lin Xiu's idea was extremely radical, but it also paved the way for his own path.
In his view, the seven emotions and six desires are the foundation of a person.
If one loses all emotions and desires, a person is nothing more than a mass of blood and energy or spiritual power.
It must be said that this idea is utterly absurd.
However, he successfully grasped it.
Not only that, but he also successfully grasped the great principles within it and gained the recognition of the laws of Heaven.
Cut off the seven emotions and extinguish the six desires.
Completely sever all obsessions and thoughts in people's hearts.
Only by experiencing all of this firsthand can one truly achieve this step.
This was what Lin Xiu had always sought, and outsiders had no idea what he had sacrificed for it.
Even if he wanted to describe it in words, no one would be able to understand.
Because that kind of personal experience is something no one can truly understand.
They were so close to success.
Moreover, this step can be easily skipped.
However, under these circumstances, Shi Kui did not make any move.
It was as if the person had completely lost everything, becoming nothing more than a mass of energy.
Not just him, everyone else was like that at that moment.
They stood there, bewildered.
I lost all your emotions and desires.
