Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension-Chapter 313: Seven Emotions and Six Desires Severing Law

"It's been a while, fellow daoist."

Tian Yongheng spoke calmly, sitting opposite Mo Yuxin in a casual manner.

Mo Yuxin smiled wryly, a bitter feeling spreading across her heart.

"I'm not worthy enough to be called fellow daoist by you. You're a supreme giant looking down upon the Mortal World, and I'm merely a Void Refinement Realm cultivator."

Hearing her words, Tian Yongheng inwardly raised an eyebrow before speaking, "It doesn't matter, we've been friends for quite a long time I believe, you don't need to be so polite in front of me. Don't tell me you also think that I'm the reincarnation of some ancient mighty figure?"

Mo Yuxin's mind stirred, and she blurted out without thinking, "You're not?"

At the same time, a myriad of thoughts swirled in her mind, looking at the man in front of her with a newfound, deeper reverence, as if looking at a unbelievable phenomena, like an anomaly that shouldn't exist.

Is he lying?

No, what would be the point of him lying to me?

Then is he telling the truth?

A seven hundred year old Immortal God?

Are you kidding me?

Mo Yuxin felt like her mind was about to combust, her thousands of years of life experience not helping her at all in such a situation.

She suddenly felt that her Heavenly Spiritual Root was quite useless, only letting her achieve the Golden Core Realm around a thousand years of age and the Void Refinement Realm after two thousand years of cultivation.

Heavenly Spiritual Root, greatest talent in the Mortal World?

Utter bullshit! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Although she didn't know what kind of talent Tian Yongheng possessed, it was definitely far superior to a mere Heavenly Spiritual Root!

"So, was there a specific reason as to why you came here today?"

Tian Yongheng's next words brought Mo Yuxin out of her thoughts, and she couldn't help but furrow her brows.

"Can't I come here just to meet you and spend some time together?"

For some reason, after knowing that Tian Yongheng was not the reincarnation of any powerful entity, she felt more at ease with him knowing that he was more than a thousand years younger than her.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to speak to him in such a tone previously.

Tian Yongheng shook his head, a warm feeling spreading throughout his heart, "But you're not here for that this time, are you?"

In fact, before coming here, he had already deduced using the Heaven Prying Secret Technique about the purpose of Mo Yuxin's visit.

It had to be said, the Heaven Prying Secret Technique was truly a powerful fate deduction divine technique that could calculate the karma of all things while obscuring the user's own karma to prevent them from getting involved in too many karmic entanglements in the process of deducing fate.

On top of that, it could even calculate things related to entities beyond one's realm, as long as the user's Providence could match up to them. However, the greater the realm difference, the weaker the effect of the technique was, and the higher the risk of getting backlash.

This was also how Tian Yongheng was able to calculate karma related to Qing Yunzi, a Half Immortal, despite only being at the Immortal Ascension Realm himself.

Of course, it was also part due to him being far stronger than the most powerful Half Immortals in the world.

Tian Yongheng was quite regretful that he didn't use this technique as often in the past.

At the same time, he also knew about Qing Yunzi. He had already received the notification from the system about Qing Yunzi developing favorability towards him.

It seemed he had really impressed and offended many old monsters spread across the world with such a powerful display of strength that day.

He had to be more careful in the future.

Mo Yuxin took a deep breath before saying, "Your methods are truly as heaven reaching as ever. That's right, I came here this time on the request of my Qingyun Sword Sect's founding ancestor, also known as the Sword God Qing Yunzi in the outside world. He wants to come to the Eternal Peak to receive some pointers and guidance of the Sword Dao from you. The Qingyun Sword Sect and even the entire State of Feng is almost entirely under the control of the Eternal Peak, so the Qingyun Sword Sect can also make this fact official, and the founding ancestor himself is willing to become a Sword-Bearing Apprentice under you for the next ten thousand years."

Unknowingly, Mo Yuxin's throat became slightly dry as she spoke, her mind reeling at her own words.

Her throat wasn't dry, it was impossible for a Void Refinement Realm cultivator to feel dryness in their throat, they didn't even need to breath oxygen to live.

It was just that she was too shocked.

A dignified Half Immortal, revered as the Sword God by the outside world, was actually willing to lower himself to become someone's Sword-Bearing Apprentice.

However, when she secretly looked up at Tian Yongheng's cold, expressionless face, she indeed felt that perhaps only this man was capable of making even Half Immortals lower themselves before him.

On the other hand, Tian Yongheng was still processing Mo Yuxin's words, thinking deeply.

Having a Half Immortal as a Sword-Bearing Apprentice wasn't bad, at least it could save him many troubles.

His main purpose in establishing the Eternal Peak was so that it could help him solve minor problems that he himself could not spare any time for and cultivate in peace.

Even though he now had many emotional bonds in the Eternal Peak, it's original purpose had never changed.

Ten thousand years may not be much for a Half Immortal, but he himself didn't know how powerful he would be after ten thousand years.

It was indeed not a bad idea to let a Half Immortal who had favorability towards him become a Sword-Bearing Apprentice and look after the Eternal Peak in exchange for a few pointers.

Besides, what Eternal Peak lacked the most right now were top tier figures capable of holding the fort except for him.

After pondering for a while, Tian Yongheng gave a faint nod, "Alright, you can tell him to come see me after a decade. Currently, I'm at a critical moment in my cultivation and about to achieve a breakthrough. I only came out of my seclusion because of you."

At these words, Mo Yuxin's ears turned slightly red, but she still nodded seriously.

What does he mean he came out of seclusion because of me?

Tian Yongheng deliberately ignored her peculiar state and asked, "Was there anything else?"

"Actually... I... I also wanted to stay and cultivate here in the Eternal Peak... I feel that opportunities in the outside world are surely not so appealing in front of the Eternal Peak's cultivation environment right now for my present self... maybe I'll go out after breaking through to a higher realm..."

Mo Yuxin's voice grew quiter and quiter as she continued, barely audible by the end as she looked down, perhaps afraid or perhaps embarrassed, maybe both, to see Tian Yongheng's indifferent face at the moment.

A faint ripple spread in Tian Yongheng's serene eyes, he brought the teacup placed before him to his mouth and took a sip, the rich Spirit Qi entering his Sea of Consciousness like a drop in the ocean.

"You can stay here for as long as you want, you're already acquainted with several of my disciples and other higher ups of the Eternal Peak, I believe you won't face any issues."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Yuxin suddenly looked up, staring at him straight, all of her previous hesitation seemingly vanishing, replaced by a unnerving intensity.

Seeing this, Tian Yongheng let out a helpless sigh, "Do you also think that I'm indifferent to all emotions and feelings, purely devoted to the Dao of Cultivation, having no time for distractions in my mind?"

Mo Yuxin's questioning gaze deepened as she asked, "Is that not the case? You always wear a blank expression, as if you're detached from the affairs of the Mortal World, like a true deity."

"That's not the case."

Tian Yongheng firmly rejected, "I do not know how to put it, my expression may always be neutral on the outside, but I'm experiencing everything on the inside, unable to convey my true feelings in the form of emotions or expressions. This is a curse, a curse placed on me by something or someone. I've had it ever since I started cultivating. It doesn't allow me to express myself outwardly, and even now, I'm trying to find a method to break it."

Mo Yuxin's eyes widened for an instant before she gradually calmed down.

Thinking about Tian Yongheng's absurd talent, it seemed highly likely that even the heavens must be wary of him, or perhaps someone from the Upper Realm felt threatened by his talent, and since they couldn't do much, they decided to place such a curse on him.

It may not have any side effects for the time being, but who knew what kind of disasters might await him if this curse was not resolved?

"Do you know what is it called?"

Mo Yuxin couldn't help asking.

"Seven Emotions and Six Desires Severing Law."
