Chapter 105 - Arc 8: Wuling Immortal Sect | Chapter 105: Love, Leads The Seven Emotions

Translator: Lynn

Upon hearing this, Xu Ziqing was taken aback.

Ever since he met Yun Shixiong, he had no idea that the technique he was practicing was called the “Ruthless Killing Sword.” Just the name alone evoked a strong sense of killing intent that shook one’s spirit.

Recalling the first time they met when his soul accidentally entered the storage ring and he was desperate and lost, he finally encountered Yun Shixiong. At that time, Yun Shixiong’s presence was indeed as restless as Shifu had described, emanating an aura of killing and sword intent that kept people at a distance.

However, it appeared that the power of the Heavenly Soul’s body was not as potent as that of the main body’s. Maybe it was because of the desperation he felt at the time, but despite Yun Shixiong’s warning about strangers, Xu Ziqing still mustered the courage to approach and speak with him.

But now...

Xu Ziqing frowned slightly, saying, “Shifu, this disciple believes that Yun Shixiong may seem cold and aloof, but he is not a heartless person, even though he practices the way of the sword.” Although Xu Ziqing spoke, he couldn’t help but feel a contradiction due to his recent worship of Master Qiu He. Something did not seem quite right.

However, Qiu He seemed to be gratified and said, “Ziqing, your strong defense of Yun’er is the reason he considers you a friend.”

Xu Ziqing was taken aback and felt a bit embarrassed.

But Qiu He continued, “The notion that practicing the ‘Ruthless Killing Swordsmanship’ leads to heartlessness is both true and a misconception.” He then explained.

The “Sword Technique of Ruthless Killing” had long been stored in the Wuling Immortal Sect’s Library. This technique was only suitable for those who had established a foundation through the Gengjin1Heavenly Metal/Gold.

Do you want me to translate this word for easier reading? method. It focused on killing and was based on the intent to kill, ultimately leading to the realization of the ruthless killing sword.

However, practicing this technique resulted in freezing one’s emotions, making the cultivator’s Dao heart stable and unshakable. The longer one indulged in killing, the stronger the desire to kill became, and the weaker one’s emotions, until they became as unyielding as ice.

They would lose all emotion, aiming to reach enlightenment through killing, and eventually rejecting all relationships, killing indiscriminately. This could lead to being enchanted by one’s Dao heart and losing one’s sanity. Consequently, the practitioner might transform into a ruthless demon, committing atrocities and being shunned by the world.

Though initially, the sect did not restrict sword cultivators who practiced the Ruthless Killing Sword Technique, if there were any signs of demonic tendencies, the hidden peerless experts within the sect would take action and eliminate the threat.

Yun Lie had reached such a critical point in his cultivation, and Qiu He was deeply anxious, with his heart ablaze with concern.

Xu Ziqing couldn’t help but ask, “Is what Shifu says the truth? Then what about the rumors?”

At this moment, Qiu He chuckled and said, “Later on, Yun’er handled the matter on his own.”

In fact, Yun Lie had a well-thought-out plan. He acquired a low-grade spirit weapon storage ring, extracted his own heavenly soul, and sealed it inside. Then he tossed the ring into the Dragon Gate, allowing it to fall into the small world.

Qiu He initially thought it was just child’s play, but he remarked, “You reap what you sow, and it’s all up to fate.”

After that, there were no developments for many years, until a few years ago when Qiu He saw Yun Lie again. He noticed a change in him and already had an inkling of what had happened, feeling genuinely happy about it.

A few months ago, Yun Lie informed Qiu He that the heavenly soul was about to return to its body, finally putting Qiu He’s mind at ease.

Thus, even though Xu Ziqing wasn’t doing well, Qiu He was willing to treat him as a named disciple due to Yun Lie. However, on top of that, Xu Ziqing was excellent in every way, prompting Qiu He to accept him as a personal disciple, granting him more resources. In the future, when Qiu He’s lifespan comes to an end, Yun Lie and Xu Ziqing can support each other in the immortal realm, preventing him from being alone and lonely.

Xu Ziqing finally understood the intricacies of the situation and couldn’t help but sigh. The meeting between him and Yun Shixiong was a result of many coincidences and mistakes, but unexpectedly, it changed both of their destinies. In the past, he believed that he had benefited from Yun Shixiong, but now he realizes that it was actually the other way around, and he feels deeply comforted.

At this moment, Qiu He asked, “I’m curious, how did you and Yun’er become friends?”

Xu Ziqing smiled warmly, not hiding anything, and recounted their past experiences.

Upon hearing the story, Qiu He became quite emotional. “So that’s how it happened. Back then, when Ziqing encountered Yun’er, Yun’er didn’t kill him immediately because he sensed that Ziqing was just a soul, behaving politely. Both of them cultivated Gengjin, and Ziqing, being a soul of Ethereal Wood, had the ability to contain Gengjin, which is why he got trapped later, and Yun’er helped him. If that’s the case, the matter is clear. However, Ziqing’s pure and kind heart made him approach Yun’er many times out of gratitude, and Yun’er eventually opened up to him. It was all a matter of various opportunities. If Yun Lie’s real body had met Xu Ziqing without any assistance, Xu Ziqing might not have been inclined to forge such a friendship. It was only because he was the heavenly soul of Yun Lie and had a connection to Xu Ziqing that they ultimately became friends and developed a strong bond.”

Reflecting on this, Xu Ziqing’s expression softened, and he smiled tenderly. “Looking back, it all feels like a dream. But I consider myself incredibly fortunate to be able to cultivate in the same sect as Yun Shixiong in the future.” After sharing so much, the newly recognized master and apprentice have also grown close to each other because of Yun Lie.

Suddenly, Qiu He smacked his forehead playfully and said with a grin, “I almost forgot! I brought you here to introduce you to my junior sisters. I talked too much, but now I’ll call them in, so you can meet your second senior brother.”

I forgot to add footnotes in the last chapter

Shixiong = Senior Brother

Shidi = Junior Brother

Basically, Xu Ziqing is changing the way he addresses Yun Lie from Yun-ge(Brother Yun) to Yun Shixiong(Senior Brother Yun)
