Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 99, Section 98: The Incarnation of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires
Unbeknownst to them, the three world's top experts were already in another world without realizing it.

The world was bleak and desolate. As soon as they entered, they felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, and an inexplicable emotion lingered around them, as if there was no hope for the future and only despair remained.

"What's happening here?"

Haotian asked in confusion, "He is the ruler of the Heavenly Court and is protected by the Heavenly Dao. How could he be pulled into another world? Is the Heavenly Dao just a useless person?"
But now he has been pulled into another world and can no longer sense the aura of the primordial world.

Zhulong and Yinglong also looked puzzled. The higher the realm, the heavier the "quality". The three of them were among the top group below the saint. Even if they were saints, it would be impossible to pull them into other worlds silently, not to mention there was also a Heavenly Emperor who was bound to the Heavenly Dao.

"This is an illusion!"

The three of them said in unison.

Only an illusion can accomplish this.

"Not bad, not bad, as expected of a top power in the primordial world, truly outstanding."

A drab, ashen figure appeared, accompanied by a sinister laugh.

"Shennong?!"

Haotian glanced at Shennong in the tower, then at the figure in front of him, and exclaimed in surprise.

Shennong, looking at them with a slight smile, loosely clenched his fist.

The three of them were immediately immobilized, and a feeling of worry surged into their minds.

I worry about the heavens, the earth, my race, and myself...

An overwhelming sense of sorrow permeated the air, and the three people's Dao hearts were subjected to a frenzied shock.

They immediately understood what this other Shennong was trying to do: he wanted to corrupt their Daoist beliefs.

All three were beings who had cultivated for countless years, so how could their Dao hearts be easily corrupted? At the same time, they also discovered that the gray-shadowed Shennong in front of them seemed unable to attack them, but could only influence them through the power of his emotions.

"Hahaha, I thought it was some kind of expert who could trap us in an illusion, but I didn't expect it to be a fool. Did he think our Dao hearts were cultivated in vain? That they could be so easily destroyed by you?"

Yinglong was known for his fiery temper, and after most of the poison was neutralized, he immediately started cursing.

Shennong, looking pale and defeated, shook his head and said to everyone:
"I was just giving it a try. If you have anything to say, go talk to Shennong's fist!"

Upon hearing this, Haotian looked at the Haotian Tower, where Shennong, who had been suppressed, had disappeared.

Suddenly a gentle breeze swept by, and when I turned my head again, Shennong's fist was already above my head.

"It's over!"

If caught off guard and struck by Shennong, one would surely be severely injured.

"Quiet your mind and understand yourself!"

Just as Haotian was marveling at the extraordinary power of Shennong's fist, a soft laugh rang out.

Shennong instantly regained consciousness, and the world became clear again.

A gigantic eyeball appeared above their heads, encompassing the entire world. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be two fingers, as thick as pillars of heaven, gripping the world.

"Ji Yuan!"

The three exclaimed in surprise, sensing that the eyeball in the air contained Ji Yuan's aura.

Ji Yuan blinked and chuckled softly:

"With me here, there's nothing to worry about."

His gaze then fell upon the ashen Shennong:

“If you kill Shennong, you will be the real Shennong.”

Upon hearing Ji Yuan's words, Shennong's already ashen face suddenly darkened. He knew Ji Yuan couldn't do it, yet he still made him do it; it was utterly disgusting.

Knowing he couldn't escape, the defeated Shennong glared at Ji Yuan and said fiercely:

"Ji Yuan, what difference does it make if you kill me? We brothers and sisters are of one mind. You can kill me this time, but you won't be able to kill my other brothers and sisters next time!"

Ji Yuan ignored him and looked at Shennong, saying, "Kill him."

Shennong had long since lost his temper. This damned thing had made him lose his mind; it deserved to be killed!

With a single punch, Shennong, whose aura was at the Quasi-Saint Three Corpses level, was instantly blasted apart. It turned out he was all bark and no bite.

After the ashes of Shennong disappeared, Shennong immediately achieved perfection, and his realm directly reached the level of Quasi-Saint Three Corpses.

Then Ji Yuan pinched his fingers, the world collapsed, and the four of them returned to reality.

They then realized that they had always been in the Milky Way and had never left.

The four of them couldn't help but cast questioning glances at Ji Yuan.

"This is not the place to talk. Let's go to the Haotian Lingxiao Palace."

Upon arriving at the Lingxiao Palace, Ji Yuan slowly explained to everyone.

"I see!"

Shennong looked as if he had just realized something.

It turned out that everything she had seen was fake; her child was not dead at all, and it was all a fabrication by Ji Yuan to wait for her to make a move.

"What is that ancestor of humanity, and that phantom that looks just like me?"

Shennong asked the question.

Ji Yuan rarely showed a serious expression, and slowly began to speak:
"That is the embodiment of sorrow among the seven emotions and six desires. Its spirituality was originally born above Shennong, and later it absorbed the sorrow of all spirits to strengthen itself. Therefore, Shennong was able to truly achieve perfection and enter the realm of the three corpses of quasi-saints only after killing it."

"The world is truly full of wonders. Even the seven emotions and six desires can take form. All living beings have the seven emotions and six desires. Their origin is passion and desire. Does that mean they are immortal and indestructible, and will never perish?"

Zhulong asked in confusion.

In their time, such things didn't exist; it was all about straightforward fighting. These things, ingrained in one's heart, are impossible to guard against.

"Of course not."

Ji Yuan replied.

"Their appearance is a loophole in the Heavenly Dao. They should have been a kind of tribulation sent down by the Heavenly Dao to the Great Luo, called the Tribulation of the Seven Emotions Questioning the Heart and the Tribulation of the Six Desires Seeking the Dao. I don't know why they have developed spirituality and want to cause chaos in the world."

Ji Yuan only gave them a general overview and did not go into detail. These seven emotions and six desires are closely related to Nuwa and the Dao Ancestor. The details are extremely complex, and even Ji Yuan could not fully understand them.

"Is there any way to get rid of them?"

Haotian asked, "This existence seriously affects the stability of the Three Realms."

"There's no need to worry about that. I am their nemesis. I can kill them as soon as they show their faces. They will only truly appear when they are in accordance with their destiny. The reason why I was able to influence Nüwa and Yaoji this time is because they already had a tribulation of death within them. This gave them an opportunity to secretly influence you and drag you into the illusion."

Ji Yuan began to explain in detail.

"Moreover, after they die, they will be taken back by the Heavenly Dao and transformed back into calamities. There is no need to worry about having a chance to start over. Just focus on which places are prone to calamities."

Ji Yuan gave Haotian another boost of confidence.

Haotian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. All living beings possess the seven emotions and six desires, but they are the root of chaos. Every great calamity in the prehistoric world has been related to the seven emotions and six desires. Now that they have also developed sentience, it is truly impossible to guard against them. Fortunately, Ji Yuan is here.

Haotian glanced at Ji Yuan and felt that he was his lucky star.

Ji Yuan then taught them the meditation mudra:

"This hand seal can reduce distracting thoughts and maintain one's true nature. You can go back and teach it to your disciples and clansmen, which will naturally prevent the intrusion of the manifestations of the seven emotions and six desires."

After doing all this, Ji Yuan returned to the foot of the Jianmu tree and placed the silk thread representing his sorrow back onto the red embroidered ball.

Feng Xishi in Huoyun Cave and Nuwa's true spirit wandering in the mortal world suddenly had another emotion.

"These embodiments of the seven emotions and six desires are truly hard to catch!"
