n they learned it was true, and that he had awakened while still in the Zhouyuan realm, they were so shocked that they couldn't find words.Fang Chen's name became renowned throughout the Nine Regions...And the scene of the Western Zhou Dynasty was also very familiar, it was the very mountaintop where she had gone to break off her engagement with Fang Chen.
"Are you Fang Chen" Kun Lao asked from the side.
"I am Fang Chen, and I will answer truthfully. "
Upon hearing Fang Chen's reply, Lao Kun stepped aside.
And at this moment, Lin Xueyan's eyes were cold and arrogant, just like before.
At this moment, she only remembered coming here to break off the engagement, forgetting that this was a figment of her imagination.
She came to break off the engagement.
After that, things went as before. She ruthlessly left to break off the engagement.
Then Fang Chen became stronger step by step, and he didn't hold grudges. He helped himself, and he gradually fell in love with the other party.
When Chen expressed his love for Fang, Fang burst into laughter instead.
"Haha! You think I helped you despite past grievances Why did I write a song for you It's all for today!"
"Wasn't you very arrogant that day! Didn't you want to break off the engagement! So Regret it now!"
Fang Chen relentlessly humiliated her, plunging her into utter despair.
"Since you've chosen the path of ruthlessness, yet fallen prey to emotions. Is this all your path amounts to"
A voice echoed in Lin Xueyan's mind, striking her like lightning.
Click!
Outside the illusion, Lin Xueyan's Dao heart suffered another crack, and the surrounding icy aura surged even more violently.
Fang Chen frowned slightly: “Her heart demon is taking control, her Dao heart is unstable again. What is she doing”
He grasped Lin Xueyan's hand, beginning to channel power into her body, preventing her Dao heart from shattering too quickly.
Lin Xueyan didn't know what was happening outside.
The scene of the Western Zhou Dynasty changed once again, to a small blue house. The walls inside were plastered with double happiness couplets.
Lin Xueyan, in her wedding gown, sat on the bed.
This time, she did not break off the engagement and is with Fang Chen. Today is their wedding day.
At this moment, the door opened and Fang Chen walked in, dressed in red.
He came to Lin Xueyan's side and lifted her red veil.
Lin Xueyan was already stunningly beautiful, and with her exquisite attire, she was breathtakingly alluring and captivating.
She was unlike her usual cold self, her face flushed slightly with a blush, and her shy expression added to her allure.
"My lady, it's getting late. It's time for bed," Fang Chen said with a smile.
"Hmm"
Lin Xueyan shyly nodded her head, and one by one, the clothes on their bodies were removed.
"Wait a minute!"
When Lin Xueyan saw Fang Chen's bare upper body, her head ached slightly, feeling a little resistant.
"My lady, what's wrong Is there anything uncomfortable" Fang Chen worriedly asked.
Seeing Fang Chen so worried about her, Lin Xueyan's heart warmed, and she no longer resisted.
"It's fine," she said.
Then, let's continue.
The two cut down the bed curtain, and soon the bed began to shake gently, accompanied by Lin Xueyan's pained moans.
Click!
The voice rang out again: “If you walk the path of ruthlessness, then there should be no desire.”
Lin Xueyan's Dao heart once again appeared a crack.
Then it continued, every time the phantom appeared, it was Fang Chen, and in various ways, he ended up with her.
And this time, being together again will cause a crack in her Daoist writing, which is her inner demon.
Even she herself couldn't say clearly about her feelings for Fang Chen.
Even knowing that defeating her inner demons meant sacrificing all emotions, including Fang Chen, she just couldn't do it.
"If you continue like this, you'll be dead. How Is this how you cultivate the Way of Unfeeling You can't even let go of your emotions, how can you speak of the Way of Unfeeling"
The voice of mockery echoed incessantly, tormenting Lin Xueyan.
Lin Xueyan was like falling into an endless mire, the deeper she went, the harder it was to get out.
"Could it be... that I really can't get past this hurdle"
She gradually fell into despair, seeing no hope at all.
She didn't understand. She was clearly walking the path of ruthlessness, yet she couldn't let go of Qiyuan.
Outside, Fang Chen's brows furrowed even deeper.
After taking the elixir, Lin Xueyan not only failed to defeat her heart demon, but was instead gradually crushed by it.
Could a family catastrophe truly have such a profound impact on her
Fang Chen thought to himself, "I can't let her continue like this, or she'll surely die."
This is Lin Xueyan's own demon, it has nothing to do with me. No matter how I intervene, it won't be of any use.
The only thing that can be done is to remind Lin Xueyan.
"Senior Sister Lin, when it comes to one's Dao heart, there isn't a definitive answer. What lies within your own heart is your Dao heart." He utilized a secret technique to transmit his voice to Lin Xueyan through telepathy.
At the same time, Lin Xueran found herself sinking into despair. Everything around her was dark and hopeless, with not a single ray of light.
"Where the heart goes, there lies the Dao."
Lin Xueyan's delicate body trembled slightly, and the next moment, the scene of Xi Zhou changed. It was no longer a mud pit, but the vastness between universes.
"Where your heart goes, there lies the Dao."
She read out another sentence, and for a moment it seemed like she understood.
"Indeed, who says that the word 'love' encompasses everything It's not just about being ruthless or heartless. Since my heart leans towards the path of detachment, why must I walk this path"
"You won't walk the Path of Ruthlessness! What other path could you possibly take!"
The heart demon appeared once again, taking the form of Fang Chen and sneered.
Lin Xueyan looked at her heart demon.
No, it should be gazing at Fang Chen.
Since I can't let you go from my heart, I shall cultivate the path of solitary love.
"A solitary heart's path"
"I have no compassion for all beings in the world, only for you. This is the way of coldness."
For one person's cultivation, only single-minded devotion to that individual.
This is a solitary feeling.
Bang!
During the collapse of the Zhou Dynasty's universe, a heart demon roared in agony.
"No! You can't do this! To cultivate the Way requires detachment! You should just leave and walk away! Don't be so sentimental! This is a betrayal of your own Dao!" He roared.
Lin Xueyan's expression was calm, and she said softly, "Humans have seven emotions and six desires. This is their nature. If one were truly devoid of emotion and desire, they would no longer be human. While everyone seeks to avoid karmic retribution, they forget that karmic retribution is also a hurdle in the path of cultivation."
"Avoiding something is only temporary, if one avoids a single thing, how can they achieve the great Dao"
Many great beings in the world, after reaching a certain bottleneck, will descend to the mortal realm, experiencing birth, aging, sickness, and death, and feeling the bittersweet pains of life.
After reaching a state of realization, one can directly attain immortality. This is the cause and effect that they avoid through cultivation, thus transcending it.
Boom!
Heart Demon Collapse.
The heart once again gathered, radiating brilliant light.
Lin Xueyan slowly opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Fang Chen's concerned face.
"Senior Sister, how are you" Fang Chen asked.
Lin Xueyan's cheeks flushed slightly, the experience in her heart demon was still vivid in her memory.
Though it had only been the time of a incense stick outside, don't think her heart demon was simply brushed aside. Inside her heart, she and Fang Chen had battled back and forth countless times.
But she quickly recovered her usual coldness, avoiding Fang Chen's clear gaze and nodding. "Thank you, I'm fine."
"That's good."
Fang Chen let out a breath.
"Can you let go of my hand"
Lin Xueyan asked.
Fang Chen was taken aback, then remembered that he was still holding Lin Xueyan's hand. He quickly let go and awkwardly said, "I'm sorry, Senior Sister. When I was stabilizing your mind, I needed to hold your hand."
Lin Xueyan nodded. "I understand."
"It seems that Senior Sister's Dao heart has fully recovered. I was worried before that Senior Sister wouldn't be able to resist, so I reminded her especially. Now it seems I was a bit overdoing it," Fang Chen smiled.
Lin Xueyan was speechless, not knowing what to say.
She wanted to tell Fangchen that it was because of his words that she was saved.
Once said, it would be tantamount to telling Fang Chen that his own demon was related to him.
It's a personal breakthrough, a unique path I've discovered through introspection. I'm not sure how to express it.
I can't just tell Fang Chen from the very beginning, that from now on, my path is only for you.
You have to know that Fang Chen is Meng Yao's Taoist companion, and he was even ruthlessly abandoned by her a few months ago.
Bang!
At that moment! A voice echoed through the void, shattering the awkward silence.
A boy's voice rang out: "Ding dong! Everyone, everyone! The first layer is over! Those who have reached 2,000 points will be the first to be sent to the second layer to exchange for their own opportunities. As for those who haven't reached 2,000 points, they will be eliminated first. Please get ready!"en naturally had no objections.Then, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, they walked toward the courtyard.Lin Xueyan never gave these suitors more than a glance from beginning to end.When they we...
