"The story begins when I was young."

"My hometown is a small town near the Xinglun Mountains. The people in this town are tough and brave. They make a living by hunting wild beasts or low-level monsters outside the Xinglun Mountains."

"Because it is located near the Xinglun Mountains, when my master was four years old, a beast tide was launched by a level 16 demon beast in the Xinglun Mountains. The beast tide affected my master's hometown, and most of the residents in the town, including my master's family, died in that beast tide."

"Master was able to survive because of good luck. I met a female nun who came down from Baiyujing to train. She killed the sixth-level monster that caused the beast tide and saved Master."

"The nun saw that my master was young and lonely, and she felt pity for him. She prepared some money and wanted to send my master to live with a farmer she had helped before. But she found that my master had a good talent in Baiyujing Taoism, so she took me back to Baiyujing."

"Is this nun your master, my disciple's master?"

Xie Yun asked.

Pei Xuanxi shook his head and said, "She is my senior sister, your uncle."

"When she brought me back to Baiyujing, your great master was in seclusion, so she accepted me as a disciple on my behalf."

"I was only four years old at that time. From then on, she began to teach me how to read and write, led me to practice, and taught me how to study Taoism."

"She also took care of my daily life until I was twenty years old, when your master came out of seclusion."

This senior sister of Master is more like Master’s mother than a senior sister.

Xie Yun secretly thought in her heart that not only did her uncle lead her master into the path of cultivation, but she also brought up her master since she was four years old.

“She was a very gentle and patient person.”

After a moment of silence, Pei Xuanxi added.

This was the second time that Xie Yun felt that his master, who was so ethereal and untainted by the mundane world, had obvious emotional fluctuations.

When talking about these past events, Pei Xuanxi's tone was very flat, as if she was narrating a diary, but Xie Yun could see nostalgia and a hint of sadness on her clear and indifferent face.

"All disciples of Baiyujing will practice a technique called "The Great Forgetfulness Chapter"."

"Do you remember what I told you about the ways for cultivators to advance to the ninth realm?"

Pei Xuanxi asked.

Xie Yun nodded.

"Of course I remember. There are three roads in total."

"The first is to prove the Dao. A martial artist who has achieved great accomplishments in the Dao of the Sword, the Dao of the Blade, the Dao of the Spear, etc., or a magic practitioner who has achieved great accomplishments in the Dao of the Elements such as Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, and Lightning, can all prove the Dao to the ninth level."

"The second is luck. Like you, Master, you are bound to the dynasty's national destiny. When the dynasty's national destiny is strong enough, you can also reach the ninth realm."

"The third is the skills. Some skills that transcend the mundane and are unrivaled in ancient and modern times, if practiced to the extreme, can also enter the ninth realm."

"Yes."

Pei Xuanxi nodded slightly, with no joy or sadness on her pretty face.

"Among these three methods, the first one is the most difficult, just like ascending to heaven. Anyone who reaches the Ninth Realm through this method is a rare genius who is worthy of being called a saint. However, as long as one succeeds in proving the Dao, there will be no more restrictions between heaven and earth, and one's personal strength will exceed that of those who enter the Ninth Realm through other methods."

"The second method is simpler, but the condition is that you must be tied to a dynasty that is at the peak of its prosperity. The price is to rise and fall with the country. After being promoted to the ninth realm, your strength is closely related to the country's strength."

"The third method often requires paying a certain "price."

"The Great Forgetfulness Chapter is a technique that can directly lead to the Ninth Realm. Anyone from Baiyujing Sect who has enough talent can use this technique to advance to the Ninth Realm."

"And the principle of this technique to help cultivators advance to the ninth realm is to make them 'forget emotions', so that they can align themselves with the Way of Heaven and become like the Way of Heaven, impartial and ruthless."

"As one's cultivation of the Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotion deepens, the practitioner will slowly lose his emotions; when one reaches the third level, the practitioner's seven emotions and six desires will become extremely indifferent; when one reaches the ninth level, the practitioner will completely lose all emotions."

"Bai Yujing regards himself as the defender of the human race and implements the concept of protecting the human race. Therefore, those monks who gradually lose their emotions will gradually base all their actions on these concepts."

"They will no longer be affected by personal emotions, but will do what they believe is more beneficial to the human race."

"Your uncle told me that if a person loses all emotions and becomes like this, then he or she will become a puppet controlled by the heavens, which is no different from being dead.

"She didn't want her master to become like this, so she often secretly took her master down the mountain to experience the worldly fireworks and various aspects of the world."

"Yun'er, if it were you, would you be willing to pay the price of Supreme Forgetfulness and then cultivate to a realm that you will never be able to reach in this lifetime?"

Pei Xuanxi turned slightly, and looked back at his disciple with his glass-like eyes.

The Supreme Forgetfulness...

Xie Yun thought about it seriously, and then shook his head firmly.

She felt that the idea of ​​her uncle-master, whom she had never met, was very correct. If a person lost his seven emotions and six desires, he would be no different from a puppet. What was the point even if his cultivation was very high?

"Yeah, you guys think the same thing."

"So, when I was 20 years old, your master came out of seclusion and she handed me over to your master, and she began to plan to leave Baiyujing."

"But, she is a person favored by heaven."

"In this world, there are people with great blessings. Their natural blessings far exceed those of ordinary people. And those who are favored by heaven are the most favored by heaven among these people with great blessings."

“Therefore, although her talent is not as good as my master’s, her status in Baiyujing is higher than my master’s. She is regarded as the person who is most likely to be promoted to the ninth realm and succeed the next generation of headmaster.”

"Your master and other masters in Baiyujing will never let her leave Baiyujing."

"Finally, after planning and waiting for fifty years, she took the opportunity to go down the mountain to travel and escaped into the secular world. At the same time, she used the art of divination to conceal all her secrets. Even your master was unable to find her whereabouts for a while."

"The next time I heard from her was several years later. By then, she had broken the rules of the Baiyujing sect and fell in love with a man in the secular world. She secretly married him."

"Her entire cultivation was based on the 'Great Forgetfulness Chapter'. After she fell in love with that man, her cultivation began to decline rapidly."

"After the division commanders in Baiyujing learned about this, they decided to send someone to capture him and bring him back to Baiyujing."

"As a teacher, I was worried that she would have conflicts with other teachers, so I volunteered to get this opportunity."

"When I found her, she was with that man. She was holding two babies in her cradle, a boy and a girl. She told me that they were their children."

"I still remember that at that time, she had a smile on her face that I had never seen before."

"But she was trapped in the mortal world, and her body was subjected to the baptism of the seven emotions and six desires for a long time. Especially she fell in love with a man. This action was contrary to the "Great Forgetfulness of Love". As a result, her cultivation level declined drastically, falling from the eighth realm all the way to the middle third realm, and there is even a possibility of further decline."

"But if she could withdraw from the secular world and return to Baiyujing to practice, there would still be a chance to make amends."

"However, she is unwilling to go back with me."

"I will tell her that if she stays in the secular world, your master and the teachers of Baiyujing will let her give up her worldly ties and return to Baiyujing."

"They will do anything that, in their eyes, is beneficial to Baiyujing and the human race, even if it means attacking two babies."

"Originally, she had been persuaded by my master and decided to return to Baiyujing."

“Perhaps after returning to Baiyujing, she will advance to the ninth realm step by step, and then become supremely forgetful. From then on, she will no longer care about the people of the secular world, and become what she calls a puppet of the heavenly way.”

"But at least her two children can grow up safely."

"However, after leaving her, something unexpected happened to the baby girl."

Having said this, Pei Xuanxi paused, his expression remained calm, but his voice became slightly colder.

"That baby girl is envied by the heavens. Because her talent is too great and she has a fire spirit body, she is disliked by the heavens."

"I knew at that time that this baby girl was definitely not her child. She was the descendant of a person favored by heaven, just like her other child. She was also a person with a deep source of blessings and would definitely not be hated by heaven."

"Without her, the one favored by heaven, and without her protection, the baby girl would be hated by heaven and would have no chance of survival."

"That baby girl couldn't leave her."

"But the teachers in Baiyujing need her to take over as the next headmaster and need her to be supreme and forgetful. How can they tolerate her bringing the baby girl back to Baiyujing? At that time, the teachers will definitely throw her out of Baiyujing and let her fend for herself."

"Whichever choice she made, the baby girl would have died."

"So she begged me, the master, to help her resist the pressure from Bai Yujing."

"However, my master was only at the eighth level at that time, so how could he resist the masters of Baiyujing?"

"It just so happened that at this time, His Majesty extended an olive branch, saying that he was willing to use the good fortune of the Great Jin Dynasty to help my master advance to the Ninth Realm."

"So in order to protect your uncle, you agreed."

Xie Yun said.

"Yes, although the Great Jin Dynasty 18 years ago was like now, with wars everywhere, it was also the most powerful dynasty on the continent. Its national fortune was enough to help my master ascend to the ninth realm, but my master misjudged a little."

"Time passes by in cultivation, and reaching the ninth realm is not something that can be achieved overnight."

"When I was promoted to the ninth realm and came out of retreat, it was already more than ten years later."

"Master, she couldn't wait for you to come out?" Xie Yun asked.

Pei Xuanxi's face was calm, neither happy nor sad, and no emotion could be seen.

"After I went into seclusion, your master came in person to put pressure on her."

"She knew that no matter what choice she made, she could not guarantee the survival of the baby girl."

"So in order to save the baby girl, she chose to sacrifice herself and give all her blessings to the baby girl."

"From then on, the body of heaven's favor and the body of heaven's envy were neutralized, and the baby girl was able to survive. However, she also lost her cultivation and blessings, and became a useless person."

"Becoming a useless person and losing all value, Bai Yujing will naturally stop making things difficult for your uncle and her family."

"She was able to continue to stay with her family."

"However, after the sacrifice, her health declined rapidly. Just a few years later, while I was still in seclusion, she passed away."

Xie Yun suddenly had an idea and said in surprise.

"Are the two children of Master's uncle Su An and Su Wan? Is that why you treat them so differently?"

"The man that Master fell in love with was Shenwei Hou Su Yan, and Master was the Shenwei Hou's wife who was announced to have passed away due to illness more than ten years ago?"

Pei Xuanxi closed his eyes and remained silent, agreeing with Xie Yun's guess.

"Do you think her choice was wrong in this matter?"

The next moment, Pei Xuanxi suddenly opened his eyes and asked.

Without waiting for Xie Yun to reply, she asked and answered her own questions.

"She is not wrong. She just doesn't want to become a person without emotions. She just wants to be with the one she loves."

"But are Bai Yujing's teachers wrong?"
