Chapter 1172 Lin Tanya Mountain 7 Love Lotus Dao Heart Clarity
Chapter 1172 Lin Tanya Mountain 7 Love Lotus Dao Heart Clarity
Lintanya Mountain.
Birds are singing, flowers are blooming, and the place is full of vitality.
Unlike the other four mountains, this mountain is full of human warmth and life. There are pavilions and towers, streams and bridges, men farming and women weaving, and laughter and joy.
Joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, love, hate, infatuation, and all the seven emotions and six desires converge here.
The three stepped out of the teleportation array, and in an instant, an intense and overwhelming aura of the seven emotions surged forth like a tide, enveloping them completely.
A look of bewilderment flashed across the depths of Wu Zhen's (Su Xiaoya's) eyes.
That dreamy gaze seemed to travel through time and space, gazing upon the faces of loved ones from a distant past.
She seemed to see her loving parents and kind elders of the witch clan; she also seemed to glimpse that innocent, carefree little figure running on the lush green hillside...
However, at the same time, Wu Xie's (Su Mingyi) eyes also underwent a subtle change.
For the first time ever, a faint, almost imperceptible glint of greed appeared in his normally clear, water-like pupils.
The light was like a will-o'-the-wisp in the dark night, flickering with an eerie and alluring glow.
At this moment, the scene unfolding before him was no longer a warm and beautiful memory, but a mouthwatering painting:
Countless rare treasures were piled up like mountains, radiating dazzling brilliance; and he, clad in golden armor, stood majestically atop the mountain, receiving the worship of thousands of people who fawned over him like stars around the moon!
In contrast, Wu Xian (Yu Shuheng) appeared remarkably calm and composed.
Even so, when that powerful aura of the seven emotions rushed towards him, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
With the keen perception he had accumulated through years of cultivation, he clearly sensed that this mysterious and unpredictable power was silently eroding their Dao hearts, attempting to shake their rock-solid beliefs and will.
"No! This is an illusion!" Wu Xian (Yu Shuheng) shouted, circulating his witch power to protect his mind.
He shouted to Wu Zhen (Su Xiaoya) and Wu Xie (Su Mingyi), "Wu Zhen! Wu Xie! Hold fast to your true selves! Don't be trapped by the illusion!" Upon hearing this, Wu Zhen (Su Xiaoya) and Wu Xie (Su Mingyi) both trembled. They quickly circulated their magical power to resist the erosion of the illusion.
The illusion shattered instantly.
The three looked around and saw that the pavilions, towers, bridges and streams in the mountains had all disappeared.
Instead, a sea of blood-red flowers appeared.
Amidst a sea of flowers, a unique lotus quietly stands tall.
This lotus plant has two flowers on one stem, one red and one white, growing side by side.
The red lotus is as beautiful as a flame, with its petals layered upon each other, like burning clouds, exuding an aura of ultimate love and desire;
The white lotus is as white as ice and snow, with delicate and soft petals, just like flawless jade, exuding a sandalwood fragrance that soothes the mind and relieves desires.
The red lotus's stamens are golden and dazzling, like a bright pearl, adorning the petals and radiating a fiery light.
The white lotus's stamens are pale green, as translucent as jade, and exude a refreshing fragrance.
The lotus stem is thick and strong, supporting the growth of the two flowers. Its surface is covered with fine lines, as if telling a story of its antiquity and mystery.
The lotus flowers grew amidst a sea of crimson blossoms, surrounded by a thick, pungent stench of blood. The crimson petals, as vibrant as fresh blood, contrasted sharply with the red lotus, creating a bizarre yet beautiful scene.
In this sea of crimson flowers, the red and white lotuses stand out, as if they were the masters of this world.
The three of them, Wu Xian and his companions, couldn't help but gasp as they looked at the sea of blood-red flowers before them.
"What an amazing illusion." Wu Xie (Su Mingyi) wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear.
Wu Xian (Yu Shuheng) said in a deep voice: "The Seven Emotions Lotus is born in a place where the seven emotions converge. Its red lotus can arouse desire; its white lotus can sever the threads of emotion. Using both lotuses together can allow one to experience the profound enlightenment after extreme emotion and temper one's Dao heart. To cultivate it, one must adhere to one's original heart and not be trapped by the seven emotions."
The three of them walked cautiously toward the Seven Emotions Lotus.
The closer you get to the lotus, the stronger the aura of the seven emotions becomes.
The illusion became increasingly real.
Wu Zhen (Su Xiaoya)'s consciousness gradually blurred, as if she were being dragged into a phantom world by an invisible force. In this wondrous space, time and reality lost their meaning, and everything became like a dream.
She blinked, and familiar yet unfamiliar scenes appeared before her eyes.
Those were the times she spent with Wu Xian (Yu Shuheng) and Wu Xie (Su Mingyi)—they embarked on a mysterious path of cultivation together, overcoming countless hardships and dangers; they explored unknown territories together, experiencing the myriad aspects of the world; they supported each other, facing the various challenges of life together…
Every image was so vividly presented in her mind, as if it were happening yesterday.
These wonderful memories captivated her, and she couldn't help but smile, letting out bursts of joyful laughter.
However, at that moment, a strange sadness welled up in her heart, and she suddenly realized that this was just an illusion, but deep in her heart there was still a trace of attachment that she could not let go of.
At the same time, Wu Xie (Su Mingyi) also entered his own illusion.
There, he transformed into the supreme Great Wizard of the Witch Clan, leading ten powerful wizards, traversing the Three Realms, invincible in every way.
He was dressed in magnificent robes and held a staff, exuding an awe-inspiring presence that inspired reverence in all who beheld him.
At this moment, Wu Xie (Su Mingyi) was filled with boundless pride and ambition.
He longed for such power and status to conquer more people and realize his ambitions.
This desire was like a burning flame, growing ever stronger, almost threatening to consume him completely.
Seeing the two trapped in the illusion, Wu Xian (Yu Shuheng) was extremely anxious.
He knew that if they were not awakened in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Without hesitation, he mobilized all his magical power, gathering it at his throat, and then shouted with all his might, "Witch Zhen! Witch Xie! Wake up quickly! What you are seeing is all an illusion!"
The roar was like a bolt from the blue, exploding in the air.
The shockwave formed by the witch's power spread outwards from Wu Xian (Yu Shuheng) as the center, and slammed hard into Wu Zhen (Su Xiaoya) and Wu Xie (Su Mingyi).
"Thank you, Wu Xian," Wu Zhen (Su Xiaoya) and Wu Xie (Su Mingyi) said in unison.
Wu Xian (Yu Shuheng) shook his head: "Next, we will cultivate this Seven Emotions Lotus together. Remember, no matter what you see, you must stick to your original intention."
The two nodded.
The three walked to the Seven Emotions Lotus, and Wu Xian (Yu Shuheng) took out the seeds and planted them in the soil.
Wu Zhen (Su Xiaoya) used her witch power to stimulate the seed to grow.
Wu Xie (Su Mingyi) set up a mind-clearing array to resist the erosion of the seven emotions.
The growth of the Seven Emotions Lotus is the most difficult.
It needs the power of the seven emotions of the cultivator to nourish it, but the cultivator should not be trapped by the seven emotions.
The three of them waited day and night amidst the sea of flowers.
They constantly faced the trials of the illusion, and their resolve to follow the Dao grew stronger with each test.
Wu Zhen (Su Xiaoya)'s Dao heart became increasingly pure.
She understood that the responsibility of the Holy Maiden of the Witch Clan was not to enjoy protection, but to protect the Witch Clan.
Wu Xie (Su Mingyi)'s Dao heart became increasingly calm and composed.
He realized that becoming strong is not about showing off, but about protecting the people you care about.
Wu Xian (Yu Shuheng)'s Daoist mind became increasingly clear.
He understood that the highest level of pharmacology is not to refine the strongest elixir, but to save lives and protect all living beings.
A century has passed quietly.
On this day, amidst a sea of flowers, the Seven Emotions Lotus quietly bloomed.
The red lotus is like fire, and the white lotus is like snow, exuding two completely different auras.
The Seven Emotions Lotus, Success Complete!
The three of them looked at the lotus flower in front of them with joy in their eyes.
Their resolve has become as firm as a rock through the trials of the past century.
Wu Xian (Yu Shuheng) stepped forward and carefully plucked the two lotuses. He handed them to Wu Zhen (Su Xiaoya) and Wu Xie (Su Mingyi): "Eat them. They will allow you to experience profound enlightenment after extreme passion and temper your Dao heart."
Wu Zhen (Su Xiaoya) and Wu Xie (Su Mingyi) nodded and each took a lotus flower.
Instantly, a strange feeling spread throughout my body.
They seemed to have experienced all the joys and sorrows, love and hate, anger and delusion of human life. In the end, they returned to peace.
Their understanding of the Dao became more profound.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in the sea of flowers, like a fairy descending to earth.
She was a woman dressed in a white witch's robe, with an exquisite appearance and an ethereal temperament, just like a blooming white lotus, fresh and refined.
She exuded a sacred aura, like the warm spring sun, gentle and comforting.
"Wuzhen!" A hint of excitement flashed in Wuzhen's (Su Xiaoya's) eyes. She had finally seen her predecessor who shared the same lineage. "Are you the ancient Wuzhen?"
The woman nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Wuzhen (Su Xiaoya), her gaze gentle and loving: "Indeed. I am the ancient Wuzhen, guarding Lintanya Mountain. The bloodline in your veins is the same as mine. Seeing that you can cultivate the Seven Emotions Harmony Lotus, I am very pleased."
Wu Zhen (Su Xiaoya) bowed respectfully, like a flower swaying in the wind, light and elegant: "Junior greets senior."
The woman smiled gently, like a spring flower in bloom, and then took out a lotus mark from her bosom, as if holding a rare treasure, and handed it to Wu Zhen (Su Xiaoya): "This mark is the inheritance mark of the Holy Maiden of the Witch Clan. It can enhance your witch power like spring rain nourishing the earth, allowing you to better fulfill the responsibilities of the Holy Maiden of the Witch Clan."
Wu Zhen (Su Xiaoya) received the mark and felt a holy power, like a gentle stream, flow into her body.
Her magical power surged like a rocket, increasing several times over in an instant.
"Thank you, senior!" Wu Zhen (Su Xiaoya) bowed again, like a grateful blade of grass offering its sincerest respect to the earth.
The woman nodded, then pointed at the void.
A teleportation array appeared in front of the three of them.
"This formation leads to the summit of Mount Wu," the woman said slowly. "The Heavenly Emperor's Divine Medicine is there. The Yellow Bird and the Black Serpent are also there. The three of you have already cultivated five kinds of immortal herbs, your Dao hearts are clear, and your physical bodies are strong. It is time to go and seize the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Medicine."
The three exchanged glances, and each saw determination in the other's eyes.
They bowed to the woman and then stepped onto the teleportation array.
With a flash of light, the three figures disappeared into Lin Tanya Mountain.
