Mortal: The Heavenly Spiritual Root that Begins from the Demonic Path

Xin Ruyin nodded.

"I know what you said."

"If I had any romantic feelings for him, we would have been together a long time ago. His love for him was so obvious, how could I not know it?"

Yi Jue smiled and said,

"Yes, how could a formation master be such a foolish person? It's just that you are trapped by your own heart."

"Let's put that aside. Why do you want to die?"

"Do you just want to go down and see Qi Yunxiao as soon as possible?"

Xin Ruyin was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she slowly said,
"I'm not seeking death, but I feel that death is the best outcome for me."

"I was born to suffer. My family was destroyed by others. Everyone I met was a scum who wanted to covet my inheritance. Even my uncle who I met by chance and had a lucky escape wanted to kill me for the inheritance in my hands."

"And I am hindered by my physical condition. Even if I want to practice hard and avenge my family, I can't do it. What's the point of living like this?"

"I just feel that if I seek death, I would be sorry for my father who sacrificed his life to buy me a chance to escape, and for Qi Yunxiao who put himself in danger and kept dancing on the edge of a knife just to let me live a little longer."

"I often wonder, if Qi Yunxiao hadn't saved me when we first met, and this inheritance fell into the hands of my second uncle who wanted to kill me, would everything be better?"

Yi Jue felt the sadness of the woman in his arms. He didn't say anything for a long time, but just kept stroking her back. Finally, at a certain moment, the woman in his arms sobbed and cried. It was just a low sob at first, and then slowly turned into a loud cry.

Yi Jue had originally been dismissive of Xin Ruyin in front of him, thinking that it was nothing special about the formation studied by just one person, and that Han Li was simply short-sighted.

Later, after seeing his experience in formation, I was shocked by his imaginative thinking and ingenious ideas. After seeing it, I was always amazed at his clear mind and wisdom.

But it was not until this moment, after using the Heart Control Technique to slowly guide her to vent her emotions, that Yi Jue felt that this girl who was born at the wrong time was a little fragile, a little pitiful, and a little worthy of sympathy.

Immortal cultivators are just human beings, just a group of ordinary people who possess special powers.

And immortality is not a gift to ordinary people, on the contrary, it is just a curse. If one does not have the corresponding mentality, these monks who live long will be nothing but lunatics driven crazy by immortality.

Yi Jue has lived for more than a hundred years, and including his previous life, it has been almost two hundred years. During this time, Yi Jue has been constantly looking for an anchor for himself, whether it is working for the prosperity of his family, or constantly studying various spells and experiencing the vastness of the world of immortal cultivation.

After so many years of cultivating immortals, and such a long time, Yi Jue would certainly have the doubts of the girl in his arms, and of course he would have the same thoughts as the girl. He had not done many things very well in the past hundred years, and sometimes he even wondered if it was really right for him to lead the Yellow Spring Valley out.

Will the Yi family, a family that has been passed down for nearly ten thousand years, disappear into thin air?

After thinking for a long time, Yi Jue slowly spoke,

"Ruyin, now you are able to practice, and even practice very quickly."

"I have helped you to avenge half of Qi Yunxiao's revenge. As for the remaining half, I believe you can avenge it yourself within a hundred years."

"I believe that your family's hatred will be nothing to worry about after you achieve Dan formation."

"You have been carrying too many things in your heart and have suffered too much. You have forgotten why you sought the truth and cultivated immortality in the first place."

Yi Jue was talking to Xin Ruyin, but he was also talking about his own confusion along the way. "The heart of seeking the Tao is to seek a ray of divine inspiration, to cross the sea of ​​suffering, and to seek immortality."

"I know that there are immortals and immortality in this world. Ruyin, don't you want to know what immortals look like and what kind of realm immortality is in?"

Xin Ruyin recalled that when she was six years old, accompanied by her parents, she was diagnosed with spiritual roots. Her parents said,

"You have spiritual roots, Ruyin, you have spiritual roots, you can practice immortality!"

Xin Ruyin's vision began to blur. Although only a few decades had passed, her parents' expectations seemed like yesterday. However, everything changed drastically when she was seven years old.

After learning that she could practice and achieve immortality, she devoted herself to studying the way to immortality and trying to get a glimpse of the immortal realm.

However, after reaching the fourth level of Qi training, every time he practiced, he felt tingling all over his body, and his body began to deteriorate day by day. His parents begged countless people and met countless people, but all they got was a sigh. In the end, she stopped practicing.

Her dream of immortality was shattered.

At this moment, recalling the joy and satisfaction she had just felt when she was practicing, she fell into confusion for a moment.

"Death, if you are not so afraid of death, do you really want to live forever?"

"Do I really want to live forever so much?"

Yi Jue recalled his experiences along the way, including joy, fatigue, despair, injuries, and pain, but feeling the vigorous fire of life in himself, he nodded in the end.

"Yes, you do, and so do I."

"The end of the fire of life, the eternal wheel of life, isn't it the scenery at the end that we are pursuing?"

“No matter how much we lose or how much sorrow we have along the way, as long as we keep moving towards the end, I think we will never regret it.”

Xin Ruyin felt the firmness in Yi Jue's words and said in a daze,

“Life is like a game of chess. When you make your move, don’t regret it.”

Feeling the fire of life burning in Xin Ruyin's body at this moment, her aura rising, the spiritual power around her constantly gathering. Yi Jue took out the Eye of Spirit Spring that he carried with him, and spiritual energy instantly spread out.

Xin Ruyin's cultivation level at this moment, with the infusion of this spiritual energy, continued to rise. In just a moment, she broke through to the eighth level of Qi training. After that, she still did not stop. The spiritual energy was constantly refined, and the aura around her continued to condense.

Finally, his cultivation reached the late eighth level of Qi training before he slowly stopped.

Xin Ruyin finished her meditation, the dead silence in her eyes slowly disappeared, and finally she looked at Yi Jue steadily, and said in a hoarse voice,

"The heart of seeking the truth, the heart of longevity, is this the motivation for us cultivators to keep persevering?"

Yi Jue did not answer, but said,

“The path to immortality is high and mysterious, who knows for sure, but the life span of a Jindan cultivator is 500 years, and that of a Yuanying cultivator is 1,000 years. As long as we continue to cultivate, perhaps one day we will see cultivators with infinite life spans. Perhaps, those cultivators can be called immortals.” (End of this chapter)
