Chapter 561: Chapter 561: What is Supreme Forgetting Emotions?

An old injury?

Cheng Yuan quickly stepped forward and asked with a hint of nervousness, "Master, when were you injured? May I take your pulse?"

The Old Dragon King gently waved his hand. "I suffer from a wound of the heart, not an injury in the traditional sense. No matter how skilled you are in medicine, you cannot heal this wound of mine."

A wound of the heart?

Cheng Yuan was stunned. This was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing.

"Master, what exactly is this ’wound of the heart’?"

The Old Dragon King shook his head with a bitter smile.

At his side, Yang Qianhuan explained in a low voice, "When our teacher was young, he and the Yang Family’s matriarch, Yu Fanghua, were a match made in heaven. To break through to a higher Martial Dao Realm, our teacher chose to practice the Supreme Forget Love Dao and resolutely cut ties with the matriarch! After that, his Cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds! However, after becoming a Martial Saint, he hit a bottleneck! The Yang Family matriarch became a Heart Demon he could not banish. When he tried to break through to Half-Step Martial God, this Heart Demon erupted..."

Half-Step Martial God?

According to the records in the Celestial Witch Inheritance, Martial God is the highest level for a Martial Artist!

Beyond Martial God lies the realm of Cultivators!

’Has Master already touched the pinnacle for Martial Artists?’

Suddenly, some information from the Celestial Witch Inheritance surfaced in Cheng Yuan’s mind.

Within this information were some records regarding the Supreme Forget Love Dao.

Cheng Yuan spoke in a gentle voice, "Master, I have a small insight into the concept of ’forgetting emotions.’ I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to share."

"Let’s hear it."

"Emotion doesn’t necessarily refer only to romantic love between a man and a woman. It can also be the bond between brothers, the love between father and son, the connection between master and disciple, and even love for one’s country. Forgetting emotions isn’t about being heartless or cruel; it’s about acceptance. Accepting all emotions, without being attached to any single one."

For the Old Dragon King to have reached his current achievements, his intelligence and emotional quotient were undoubtedly extremely high. Cheng Yuan’s words instantly enlightened him.

The Old Dragon King’s eyes gradually brightened!

"The bond between brothers? The love between father and son? The connection between master and disciple? Love for one’s country? Acceptance? What a brilliant concept of ’acceptance’! HAHAHAHA! Xiaoyuan, your words have truly woken me from a dream! That’s right! I mustn’t be attached to a single emotion! I have been deluded!"

Having understood the crux of the problem, the Old Dragon King’s thoughts became incredibly clear, and he once again felt the threshold of the Half-Step Martial God realm!

Li Baizhan said respectfully, "Congratulations, Teacher, on shattering your Heart Demon. Teacher, please take the Five Patterns Essence Enhancement Pill quickly, before its Medicinal Power dissipates."

The Old Dragon King smiled faintly, raised his hand, and popped the Five Patterns Essence Enhancement Pill into his mouth.

BZZZT!!

A startling torrent of heat rose in the Old Dragon King’s abdomen, instantly healing the old injury caused by the Heart Demon’s eruption. The Old Dragon King’s complexion immediately became rosy!

With the Heart Demon no longer obstructing him, his Cultivation, which had been stagnant for over a decade, began to loosen once more.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Seven types of elemental energy surged from within the Old Dragon King’s body!

These seven types of elemental energy instantly triggered seven Celestial Dao Laws!

These seven Celestial Dao Laws intertwined and merged with one another, forming a sliver of brand-new power!

Although there was only a sliver of this new energy, less than half the width of a strand of hair, Cheng Yuan could feel a world-destroying power within it!

Cheng Yuan was absolutely certain that even if he were to use the Celestial Witch Nine Extremes, he would be unable to contend with this energy!

Cheng Yuan quickly activated his Double Pupil to observe, but unfortunately, even when opened to its maximum, he couldn’t analyze the fundamental nature of this new energy!

However, Cheng Yuan learned the name of this energy from the Celestial Witch Inheritance—the True Meaning of the Great Dao.

This was a power that transcended the Celestial Dao Laws of the Mortal World!

If one could completely master the True Meaning of the Great Dao, they would ascend to the heavens in broad daylight and become an Immortal.

Originally, the weather in Jinling had been terrible, with dark clouds looming and the sky heavy and black.

But a ray of golden light shot straight into the sky, instantly tearing apart the dark clouds. The sun revealed its brilliant, smiling face, scattering down shimmering golden sunlight!

The Old Dragon King slowly withdrew his power. The sharp gleam in his eyes vanished, and he seemed to become an ordinary old man. Not a single trace of his aura could be felt from him anymore.

But the three of them dared not underestimate the Old Dragon King!

Because the Old Dragon King had already reached the state of Returning to the Essence, able to perfectly control the aura of his own body.

Li Baizhan and Yang Qianhuan cupped their fists in unison.

"Congratulations, Teacher, on vanquishing your Heart Demon, healing your old injury, and taking your Cultivation to the next level!"

The Old Dragon King smiled faintly. "Baizhan, Qianhuan, you have suppressed your Cultivation for over ten years, and your foundations are now exceptionally solid! Take the Essence Enhancing Pills and have your Realm Breakthrough!"

"Yes, Teacher!"

The two of them consumed the Four Patterns Essence Enhancement Pills, sat down cross-legged, and began Cultivating with all their might to break through their bottlenecks!

Their foundations were so profound that even without the Four Patterns Essence Enhancement Pills, they could have smoothly reached the Half-Step Martial Saint realm.

With the help of the Medicinal Power, the bottleneck was torn to shreds like a piece of paper!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The auras of the two men skyrocketed!

However, with the Old Dragon King shielding their auras, not a single trace escaped.

Ten minutes later, the two of them slowly withdrew their power.

"Xiaoyuan, thank you for your Four Patterns Essence Enhancement Pills! Your big brother here broke through to the Half-Step Martial Saint Middle Stage in one go!"

"Hahaha, Qianhuan, you’re not that impressive! I reached the Half-Step Martial Saint Late Stage!"

Yang Qianhuan shot Li Baizhan an annoyed look. "Senior Brother, you haven’t condensed your True Essence yet. I’m still one step ahead!"

"Pah! How do you know I haven’t condensed my True Essence?"

The two of them started bickering like a pair of children, giving the Old Dragon King and Cheng Yuan a massive headache.

As the two were arguing heatedly, the Old Dragon King’s ears twitched slightly. From a very distant place, he faintly heard the sound of a familiar zither.

The Old Dragon King subconsciously reached for his chest, but his hand found only empty air.

Only then did the Old Dragon King come to his senses and remember that he had already smashed his xiao flute to pieces.

The Old Dragon King stared intently in the direction the zither music was coming from. ’Fanghua is inviting me to meet her. Should I go?’

After hesitating for less than 0.1 seconds, the Old Dragon King slowly stood up.

’Xiaoyuan said it just now. Supreme Forgetting Emotions isn’t about being heartless or cruel; it’s about accepting all emotions, not being attached to any single one.’

’Besides, I’ve already broken through my Heart Demon. What’s the harm in seeing Fanghua now?’

"Xiaoyuan, your master is going to see an old friend. Baizhan and Qianhuan will accompany you to the Yang Family. If the second master of the Yang Family breaks the rules and personally makes a move on a junior, your master will not stand idly by."

Cheng Yuan quickly bowed. "Thank you, Master."

The Old Dragon King helped Cheng Yuan up, then his figure flickered and vanished from before the three of them!

Even with his Double Pupil activated, Cheng Yuan could only barely catch a glimpse of the Old Dragon King’s shadow.

Cheng Yuan couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath.

’Is a Half-Step Martial God really this powerful?’

’I can’t imagine how strong a true Martial God must be.’

’I wonder if there are any true Martial Gods in this world?’

Cheng Yuan reined in his thoughts. The Martial God realm was too distant for him; he needed to focus on breaking through to Martial Emperor first!

Cheng Yuan turned his head to look at Li Baizhan and Yang Qianhuan. "Senior Brothers, it’s getting late. Shall we head out now?"

Li Baizhan glanced at the time and shook his head gently. "The Yang Family’s disciple acceptance ceremony officially starts at 10:10 AM. It’s not even nine o’clock yet. Don’t be in a rush, Xiaoyuan. A few good friends are coming over."
