Chapter 464: Wingman Lu Linghe! Resolving the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique!

White Tiger Mountain.

Lu Qingsong watched his older brother and little He leave, and gossip burned in his heart.

If he didn’t need to stay at White Tiger Mountain, he would’ve gone back to Bihu Mountain to see what was going on.

“Tch, who would’ve thought, facing love, Big Brother acts like this.”

Lu Qingsong shook his head in amazement, finding it hard to believe that his usually stalwart and majestic brother had this side to him.

At this moment, he also thought of his elder brother, Lu Qingshan.

What would he look like if he had someone he loved?

However, that elder brother of his was proud and arrogant, looking down on everyone; probably not many women could catch his eye.

Lu Ping’an looked at the familiar Bihu Mountain ahead, and for a moment, felt a bit timid.

He remembered a girl in black, pursing her lips and introducing herself expressionlessly: ‘My father’s surname is Qin, my mother’s surname is Yi, so I’m called Qin Yi.’

She often told him about her ambitions; that in the future, she wanted to become a great Sword Immortal.

For this, she traveled alone, seeking to join the largest sword cultivation sect in the Jiang Kingdom — the Heavenly Sword Sect!

“Big Brother, Big Brother, we’re here.”

As always, Lu Linghe lacked awareness. Seeing her elder brother standing still, she urged him to move, eager to meet this sister.

Lu Ping’an took a deep breath, grabbed his sister, and took one step into Bihu Mountain. He arrived at Biyun Peak and asked Lu Yun where Qin Yi was.

“Miss Qin is at the Water Pavilion in Bihu Mountain Manor.”

Lu Yun mentioned, addressing his older brother.

Then he looked at the excited and happy Little He beside him, paused, and said, ‘Little He, Brother Yun has something he needs your help with. Come with me for a moment.’

Yesterday, he spoke to his mother about Qin Yi.

Mother said that Father had mentioned in his early years that Ping’an had a childhood sweetheart of sorts. The details were unclear to Lu Miaoyun.

So Lu Yun became more curious.

Upon seeing his older brother return immediately, with an expression not as carefree as before, he vaguely guessed something.

In this situation, he naturally didn’t want his sister to disturb his brother meeting his sweetheart.

“But I want to meet Sister Qin!”

Lu Linghe said with some difficulty.

“We just made some new sweets at home, and we need someone to taste them. So, we wanted to ask for your help, Little He.”

“Your Sister Qin isn’t leaving right away. We can go see her after we eat. It won’t take long.”

Lu Yun said this, pleading, “Please, Little He.”

Lu Linghe hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Okay then.”

Big Brother, you can go ahead.”

Lu Yun quickly addressed his older brother, then pulled Little He towards the dining hall.

‘.’

Lu Ping’an forced a smile and nodded, took a deep breath, and walked heavily towards Bihu Mountain Manor.

At this very moment.

Qin Yi sat in the pavilion tower, staring blankly into the distance at Bishui Lake.

After learning about Lu Ping’an’s situation, she set out, taking the Azure Cloud Spirit Ship to Bihu Mountain.

But now that she was there, she felt a bit lost, not knowing why she came.

Maybe just for an answer, maybe she hoped for something, or maybe she didn’t expect anything. Who can say for sure?

At that moment, she snapped back to reality, noticing a tall, muscular young man standing in front of her.

He had a rugged face, not exactly handsome, just proper.

His tall, strong build radiated a heroic aura.

But at this moment, he seemed somewhat uneasy.

“Lu Ping’an, why are all the letters sent to the Heavenly Sword Sect written by Lu Mingyue and not by you? What’s going on?”

Qin Yi asked directly when she saw the young man.

“Huh?”

Lu Ping’an was stunned by these words.

He didn’t understand what she meant.

Letters sent to the Heavenly Sword Sect? Lu Mingyue?

But, indeed, he hadn’t written to Miss Qin.

At that time, his sister Lu Wangshu had asked him about it, but he had ultimately chosen to avoid it.

Looking at the black-clad girl in front of him with delicate features and a high ponytail, he awkwardly said, “Miss Qin, long time no see.”

“Long time no see? If I hadn’t randomly heard about your great name, Lu Ping’an, who knows when we would meet.”

The girl in black was annoyed, seeing that he was still the same old straightforward guy.

Lu Ping’an wanted to say something but hesitated, instinctively raising his hand to scratch his head to ease the awkwardness, but then he lowered it again.

It had been so long.

Yet for some reason, it felt as if they were meeting for the first time.

“Pfft!”

Qin Yi couldn’t help but laugh when she saw that the young man, who now had a reputation for suppressing the False Core Patriarch, was nervous and at a loss for words.

She stepped forward and said with a smile, “Lu Ping’an, you haven’t changed a bit.”

“Uh… Miss Qin, you’ve grown taller.”

Lu Ping’an thought for a moment and said to the girl in black in front of him.

Back then, Qin Yi barely reached his chest, but now she was almost up to his shoulders.

“???”

Qin Yi raised her eyebrows, lifted her chin slightly, and looked at Lu Ping’an, who was a head taller, “And what’s so special about being tall?”

“Uh.”

Lu Ping’an was startled and quickly said he didn’t mean anything by it.

“Then what did you mean? Trying to say that the person in the Purple Secrets Realm wasn’t you, and you didn’t know I’d grown taller?”

The girl in black continued to question him.

Lu Ping’an felt more nervous now than he did when he faced the Sima Patriarch. He was even sweating.

Faced with her questions, he really didn’t know how to answer.

“Big Brother, Big Brother!”

Just then, a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old appeared, dressed in a red battle dress with Wind-Fire Wheels on her feet, her cute face puffed up in anger. “Brother Yun tricked me! He said there was something tasty, but there wasn’t.”

Her words were full of grievance.

Not far behind, Lu Yun was almost sweating bullets.

“Whew!”

Lu Ping’an heard the voice and felt like a savior had arrived, letting out a sigh of relief. He patted her head and then introduced her to Qin Yi: “Miss Qin, this is my sister.”

However, before he could finish speaking, Lu Linghe stared at the black-clad girl with wide, bright eyes and said, “Are you Sister Qin Yi, the person Big Brother likes?”

“???”

Lu Ping’an’s face went stiff as he quickly covered his sister’s mouth, feeling sweat break out on his forehead.

“Mmm, mmm—”

Little He couldn’t speak, looking incredibly wronged.

Today, not only did Brother Yun lie to her, even Big Brother was bullying her.

“Lu Ping’an, is what she said true?”

Qin Yi’s expression remained calm, her rosy lips curving as she raised her chin slightly, asking.

“Uh…”

Lu Ping’an was flustered, completely unable to respond.

Not far away, Lu Yun’s expression was one of shock.

He never expected this side of his older brother.

It seemed this Miss Qin… no, Miss Qin was indeed the person his older brother had feelings for.

But seeing his brother like this, it was clear he hadn’t forgotten her. Why didn’t he see her sooner?

“You’re not saying anything and even covering your sister’s mouth to keep her from talking?”

Seeing Lu Ping’an remain silent, Qin Yi frowned, glancing at the red-dressed Lu Linghe, thinking, ‘Is this really Lu Mingyue?’

She didn’t seem as self-absorbed and mischievous as they said.

“Mmm, Big Brother is bullying me too!”

Lu Linghe cried out when her mouth was released, looking pitiful.

But her sadness quickly vanished. She flew up to the black-clad girl and said, ‘Sister Qin Yi, I’m Lu Linghe, you can call me Little He.’

“Hello, Little He. Do you know who I am?”

A hint of a smile appeared on Qin Yi’s face, and she asked.

“I heard from Brother Qingsong that an elder sister came to see Big Brother, and Big Brother stared blankly at you, Sister Qin Yi. According to what Sister said, only those who like someone would act like that.”

Little He said, her voice crisp and lively.

She got along well with everyone and quickly became friendly, asking again, “Sister Qin Yi, how did you and Big Brother meet?”

“A long time ago.”

Qin Yi’s eyes showed a hint of nostalgia.

She still clearly remembered how Lu Ping’an appeared when a tiger demon was chasing her. Relying on martial arts and talismans, he killed the tiger demon.

He had looked like a silly rich kid from a landlord’s family back then. She still remembered it vividly.

But considering that he was the eldest son of the Bihu Mountain Lu Family, calling him a silly rich kid wasn’t too far off.

Qin Yi chatted with Lu Linghe, while Lu Ping’an remained stiffly on the side, not knowing what to say.

“Sister Qin Yi, do you like Big Brother?”

Lu Linghe asked.

Qin Yi’s smiling face froze slightly.

She then turned to the motionless Lu Ping’an and asked again, “Lu Ping’an, you still haven’t answered my question. Why were all the letters sent to the Heavenly Sword Sect written by Lu Mingyue and not you?”

“I don’t know either.”

Lu Ping’an replied, not stupid but honest.

He guessed that Lu Mingyue might actually be his sister, Lu Wangshu.

After all, his sister had come to know about Qin Yi’s situation and had asked him all sorts of questions.

Unable to resist her pleading, he had told her some things from back then.

“Heavenly Sword Sect? This Miss Qin is from the Heavenly Sword Sect?”

Lu Yun was a bit shocked.

He knew the Heavenly Sword Sect’s distance to Bihu Mountain was exceptionally long, at least half a year’s journey.

And this Miss Qin had come all this way just to ask about letters?

Yet Lu Ping’an didn’t even know Lu Mingyue was writing to this Miss Qin?

Lu Yun was utterly confused, wondering what was going on.

“You didn’t know? Are you saying none of Lu Mingyue’s letters were written by you?”

Qin Yi raised an eyebrow upon hearing that, speaking directly.

Although many contents in the letters left her speechless,

the letters clearly knew about her and Lu Ping’an. She thought some of it was authorized by Lu Ping’an.

But it turned out this person hadn’t written a single letter to her!

“Uh, well, this…”

Lu Ping’an felt awkward and had no idea how to respond.

“Lu Ping’an, are you an idiot or something?”

Qin Yi said irritably.

“Miss Qin, I’m sorry.”

Lu Ping’an thought for a moment, then apologized.

“There’s nothing to be sorry about. How you act is your choice.”

Qin Yi said expressionlessly.

After that, she sighed softly and said in a low voice, “Besides, even if there were letters from you, I wouldn’t have seen them.”

“Alright, I won’t trouble you anymore. Since there’s nothing, I should be leaving.”

She glanced at Lu Ping’an and said.

Though he was still the same as before,

since he didn’t want to get involved with her, she wouldn’t push, nor would she stubbornly ask.

“What, Sister Qin Yi, are you leaving already?”

Lu Linghe asked.

“Big Brother, Miss Qin came all this way; you and Little He should host her, show her around our place, let her stay a few days, okay?”

Not far away, Lu Yun quickly spoke, and sent a voice transmission to Little He, instructing her to keep Miss Qin.

Though he didn’t know why his older brother was acting so timid.

But he could see that both clearly had feelings for each other, so he hoped they would get along well.

Was it because of the family?

Lu Yun pondered.

He felt his older brother, Lu Ping’an, was remarkable.

High cultivation with no arrogance, always looking out for the younger siblings.

He treated the people of Bihu Mountain and those from Ruyi County Lu Family equally.

Over the decades, whenever the Lu Family sent children with Spirit Roots from the mortal world to Bihu Mountain, Lu Ping’an would take care of them.

From this, it was clear how responsible his older brother was.

For so many years, apart from his annual visits to Ruyi County or dealing with family affairs, Lu Ping’an had mostly remained at White Tiger Mountain, rarely traveling far.

Although letters could be written, the distance between Bihu Mountain and the Heavenly Sword Sect was immense. In this situation, it made sense that he didn’t want to waste her time.

Lu Yun watched Lu Linghe drag Qin Yi off to play, not thinking much more about it, and flew towards Biyun Peak, deciding that he needed to inform his mother about this and have her tell their father.

Although their father never cared about family matters, surely he should be concerned about his eldest son’s lifelong happiness?

Besides, since his sister Lu Wangshu knew about Lu Ping’an and Miss Qin, he strongly suspected it was from their father.

Sumeru Cave Heaven, Hall of Everlasting Life.

Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue were practicing the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra. Above their heads, the radiant sun and moon continuously rotated, radiating a dazzling sacred light.

At the moment, both had entered a marvelous state, their souls and Divine Sense gradually melding.

After a while, their spirits, thoughts, and souls seemed to merge, both feeling every thought in the other’s mind.

“Boom!”

At that moment, a surge of powerful Spiritual Energy erupted from Xiao Xiyue’s Qi Sea Dantian, breaking through from Foundation Establishment Stage 7 to Stage 8.

The two slowly opened their eyes, seeing the radiant sun and moon shining from each other’s foreheads.

“Congratulations, my Xiyue, on your breakthrough.”

Lu Changsheng gently touched the jade face of the fairy before him, speaking tenderly.

Xiao Xiyue not only broke through to Foundation Establishment Stage 8, but also finally achieved minor success in the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra.

Now, they could merge their souls through the radiant sun and moon!

“It’s all thanks to you, Changsheng.”

Xiao Xiyue’s jade face blushed, her eyes still carrying a faint sense of spiritual desire, looking charming and beautiful.

“Xiyue, let’s try now, to see if we can resolve the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique.”

Lu Changsheng suggested.

Previously, through soul communion, he had seen a cold and emotionless female immortal deep in Xiao Xiyue’s sea of consciousness.

But since Xiao Xiyue’s Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra hadn’t reached minor success, he hadn’t dared to touch her deeply as they couldn’t merge.

Now that she had achieved minor success in the technique, he could attempt to proceed further.

“Mm.”

Xiao Xiyue’s eyes filled with anticipation.

Immediately, they both began to operate the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra, with the radiant sun and moon emerging once again in their foreheads, shining brilliantly on each other.

“Buzz—”

This power flowed between them, constantly vibrating with mysterious resonance.

With Xiao Xiyue’s initiative, the process went very smoothly.

However, as Xiao Xiyue activated the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique, an unavoidable coldness emerged from her soul.

After a moment, Lu Changsheng saw deep in Xiao Xiyue’s soul the faint and distant figure of a female immortal, exuding a sense of indifference and impartiality, and he began to try further soul fusion by operating the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra attempting to connect with this female immortal.

The figure was faint and distant as before, exuding a glow that rejected him.

However, at this moment, an aura of boundless affection emerged, weakening the female immortal’s resistance, allowing a slow fusion between them.

As the fusion deepened, Lu Changsheng noticed a painful expression on Xiao Xiyue’s beautiful face.

He knew it was caused by the mental conflict from the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique.

Currently, Xiao Xiyue’s soul and consciousness were dominated by this female immortal.

If any problems arise, it could lead to a disrupted soul and shattered consciousness.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng signaled Xiao Xiyue to stop further fusion, slowly operating the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra, and surrounded the female immortal, comprehending the Supreme Forgetting Emotions’ concept.

After a long time, Lu Changsheng understood that the female immortal before him was Xiao Xiyue.

One could even say that she was Xiao Xiyue’s second personality.

Most of the time, Xiao Xiyue was in this personality.

Only when facing him, Lu Wangshu, Yun Wanshang, and a few others would her current personality gradually awaken.

And if she wished to reach the Golden Core Formation stage, she would have to completely perform Supreme Forgetting Emotions, forgetting Lu Changsheng, Lu Wangshu, Yun Wanshang, and even herself.

“The Heavenly Dao is impartial, the Great Dao has no bias, Supreme Emotionlessness…”

Lu Changsheng felt deeply troubled because if he interfered with this female immortal, it would harm Xiao Xiyue.

He attempted to soothe the female immortal with the all-encompassing power of the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra.

Under the profound and mysterious power of Yin-Yang, Xiao Xiyue’s mental world gradually stabilized, and the pain disappeared from her face.

“Indeed, the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique allows an influence since a cultivator can never truly reach the state of universal impartiality.”

Lu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He realized that Xiao Xiyue’s situation wasn’t beyond saving yet, and he pondered how to solve this problem.

He had previously thought about creating a different path based on the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique.

But now, since Xiao Xiyue had already walked down this path, trying to create a new one would be as difficult as climbing the sky.

“This female immortal is Xiao Xiyue after practicing the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique, but she’s not in control. Furthermore, once the technique activates, this personality becomes dominant…”

“But even if she masters it, it’s useless. To advance further, she has to let this personality completely take over.”

“Having and not having emotions is Yin-Yang. Can a balance be formed? Perhaps in times of need, having emotions, and when not, then being emotionless…”

Lu Changsheng pondered deeply, basing his thoughts on the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra.

After a long time, an idea emerged in his mind.

Since he couldn’t interfere with this personality, what if Xiao Xiyue did it herself?

Luckily, the two concepts represented emotions and emotionlessness. Could a Yin-Yang balance be achieved, creating a different path?

“Xiyue.”

Lu Changsheng then revealed his idea.

He suggested that they base the soul’s dominance on Xiao Xiyue, letting her take the initiative to fuse with the female immortal while he assisted from behind.

Sure enough, when Xiao Xiyue’s concept touched and fused with the female immortal, the latter didn’t resist as it had with him.

But the two were far from achieving balance.

Lu Changsheng immediately operated the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra, encompassing all things, helping Xiao Xiyue achieve balance.

At the same time, Lu Changsheng’s Taiyi Soul radiated faint golden light, which he used to share the concept of the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra and communicate its principles, as if the Dao was resonating in Xiao Xiyue’s heart. These formed mystical and profound talismans, guiding her to form the Yin-Yang balance herself.

“Buzz——”

As the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra gradually merged into the spiritual realm, the female immortal deep in Xiao Xiyue’s sea of consciousness no longer appeared as cold and indifferent as before.

Like this, time passed little by little.

The eyes of the faint and distant female immortal, who embodied the Supreme Emotionlessness and universal impartiality, seemed to swirl with yin and yang.

Her left eye resembled the bright moon in the Ninth Heaven, embodying Supreme Forgetting Emotions.

Her right eye was like the rising sun, with emotions as the Dao Seed.

The sun and moon rotated, and Yin-Yang flowed, causing subtle changes in Xiao Xiyue’s sea of consciousness.

It’s feasible!

Lu Changsheng saw Xiao Xiyue’s soul and mental world move towards an emotional and emotionless Yin-Yang balance.

However, he wasn’t sure how it would unfold; it all depended on Xiao Xiyue herself.

Time passed little by little.

They didn’t know how much time had passed.

“Buzz!”

In Xiao Xiyue’s sea of consciousness, a Yin-Yang ring gradually formed behind the female immortal.

This Yin-Yang ring radiated brilliant spiritual light, holding up her soul and spiritual world.

The Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth embrace all things.

Having emotions and being emotionless is Yin-Yang.

Supreme Forgetting Emotions; being emotionless also means having emotions!

Cultivating immortality is the Great Dao!

Thus, this moment resolved Xiao Xiyue’s conflict and the Supreme Forgetting Emotions technique!

The two opened their eyes, exiting the soul fusion state.

“Changsheng.”

Xiao Xiyue’s eyes were moist, full of tender affection, and joy.

“Xiyue, how are you feeling?”

Lu Changsheng looked a bit tired, concerned.

The process had heavily taxed him.

If it weren’t for his much higher cultivation and his Taiyi Soul, he wouldn’t have been able to maintain her soul’s balance.

Recently, it had even been more exhausting than when he saved Chu Qingyi.

But seeing her situation temporarily resolved, he was delighted, feeling the effort was worth it.

“I’m feeling great now.”

Xiao Xiyue softly said, indicating that not only had her situation been resolved, but she had also greatly benefited, allowing her to perfectly control her soul state.

The only problem was that the original Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique was now unsuitable for her.

She must now continue from this idea to create her own path.

Otherwise, if she continued with the same cultivation technique, she would gradually return to her previous state.

“Don’t worry, I’m here.”

Lu Changsheng held her and softly spoke.

Creating a new technique was indeed challenging.

But with so many techniques at hand, and with Hong Lian as a Nascent Soul True Lord and the Profound Mirror of the Dao for reference, he believed they could find a new path!

Moreover, creating a technique didn’t need to be done all at once.

For now, they just needed to work on a cultivation path for Xiao Xiyue to break through to the Golden Core Formation stage. They could perfect the technique later.
