Chapter 803: Seven Affections and Six Desires
“Do you remember who killed them?” Ling Chuxi was reluctant to ask, but she felt unnerved at Duan Xiaomo’s reaction. If she couldn’t find the culprit quickly and figure out a way to eliminate the gloomy poison’s power, Duan Xiaomo wouldn’t be able to return to normal.
“Who killed them... Who killed them?” Duan Xiaomo frowned and thought hard.
“Ah, my head hurts... It hurts!” Duan Xiaomo suddenly grabbed his head and yelled.
“Xiaomo, Xiaomo!” Ling Chuxi grabbed Duan Xiaomo’s wrist to check his pulse, but his eyes rolled back into his head and he lost consciousness.
Ling Chuxi was stunned, and quickly checked Duan Xiaomo’s mind using her divine consciousness.
“He’s fine.” Cang Yuan’s voice rang out in her mind. “His mind ocean was sealed for too long, so it wasn’t used to the sudden opening. Just let him sleep and he’ll be fine.”
“But why do I feel like he’s still not quite normal?” Ling Chuxi murmured sadly, thinking of Duan Xiaomo’s calmness when talking about his parents’ death.
“The gloomy poison’s power is still in the depths of his mind, so his emotions are incomplete, and he does not have the seven affections and six desires of normal people,” Cang Yuan explained.
“Ah, that’s the reason.” Ling Chuxi felt relieved. If she thought about it from a different angle, it was not all bad to be emotionally incomplete... at least he did not have to bear the pain of losing both of his parents so early.
“Let him rest for a while first. I just branded the Celestial Heart Cultivation Method in his mind. With this Celestial Core, he can cultivate even in his sleep,” Cang Yuan continued casually.
“Cultivate in his sleep?” Ling Chuxi exclaimed in surprise.
“A naturally born Celestial Core is a rare ability that is hard to come across even in ten thousand years. The master of the Cang Yuan Sword cultivated for many years before he could comprehend the Celestial Core, and yet his cultivation was the best in the world. The future achievements of Duan Xiaomo will rival those of the master of the Cang Yuan Sword,” Cang Yuan said emotionally.
After hearing that, Ling Chuxi envied Duan Xiaomo a little. Although her Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians was also amazing, at the moment it seemed more dangerous than beneficial. It was practically a ticking time bomb. How could it be compared to the Celestial Core that allowed the person to cultivate while sleeping? Of course, Ling Chuxi was still very happy for Duan Xiaomo though.
“Well, I’m tired too. I need to rest,” Cang Yuan said brightly.
“You’re not going to sleep again, are you?” Ling Chuxi asked quickly. If this sleeping deity slept for another couple of decades, she wasn’t sure she would be able to get another thousand pieces of Ink Jade Crystals.
“Don’t worry, I’ve condensed an actual body, so I can quickly absorb the qi of heaven and earth, just like you all do while cultivating,” Cang Yuan said reassuringly, then added thoughtfully, “Also, I just felt the aura of a Cang Yuan shard.”
“Really?” Ling Chuxi asked excitedly. That Cang Yuan shard should be the Zhen Zong Sword that Su Yizhi had been searching for.
“My instincts can’t be wrong, but the quality of this sword of yours is a little poor. Accommodating a sword spirit, sword soul, and sword essence is already its limit. Let me refine and temper this sword for you first, then we’ll go collect the shard,” Cang Yuan offered.
“Alright! How long will it take?” Ling Chuxi knew that Cang Yuan was right. The Luo Chen sword had been bought in an ordinary weapon shop, so the quality was only average. Even after experiencing the tempering of the heavenly lightning, it could not compare to a true divine weapon, so it would be hard to accommodate more Cang Yuan shards without re-tempering the sword.
