Chapter 316
"There is absolutely no absolute yin and yang in the world. Although all things in heaven and earth are complicated, if you analyze the essence, it is nothing more than the harmony of yin and yang."
"Yin and yang are the Dao of heaven and earth, the discipline of all things, the parents of change, the origin of life and death, and the mansion of the gods."
"The so-called Heavenly Dao is just yin and yang. Yang governs life, and yin governs death. There is no reason for yang without yin, or life without death."
"Therefore, under yin and yang, spring birth, summer growth, autumn harvest, winter storage, the four seasons are in order, going round and round, circulating endlessly, and it has been like this since ancient times."
"Anyone who wants to escape life and death and transcend reincarnation must first follow yin and yang, respond to the timing of heaven, and need to harmonize the body with the mechanism of heaven and earth before they can ascend."
The faint Dao text was chanted, and Jiang Yan stepped like a mirror flower and water moon, condensing in front of Furina.
His eyes contained a faint smile, and he said meaningfully:
"How can there be extreme yin and yang in the world?"
"Isolated yin does not grow, and solitary yang does not last. It has always been like this. Yin and yang are opposite and unified, repelling and merging."
"Therefore, this is the Dao of heaven and earth."
As the voice fell, two simple yet gorgeous swimming fish suddenly appeared above Jiang Yan's head.
One was white, with black pupils, and full of life.
One was black, with white pupils, and full of death.
The two fish swam around Jiang Yan's head, chasing each other's tails, and Jiang Yan's aura harmonized with heaven and earth at this moment.
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Jiang Yan looked at Furina, and the latter looked up at him.
Above her head, there was only a pure white swimming fish, with only a little ink black in her eyes.
It wandered alone, out of place with this world.
"Sect Master, I..."
Furina pursed her lips, seemingly having some unspeakable hidden feelings.
"Your innate spiritual character is incomplete. Cultivating the immortal Dao, although there is no harm, will eventually stop before the immortal path."
"This does not match your peerless talent."
Jiang Yan shook his head and looked at Furina with some regret.
"Destined... to not be able to become an immortal?"
Furina's face turned pale, and she smiled bleakly.
She gritted her teeth and whispered:
"Sect Master, I know that every inner sect disciple of Shushan seeks to become an immortal. I am destined to be unable to become an immortal, and I am not worthy of being a Shushan disciple."
"But I really need to cultivate immortality..."
"Please show mercy, Sect Master. After I cultivate to the late stage of Refining Qi into Spirit, I will leave Shushan."
"I will never tarnish Shushan's reputation."
These words made Jiang Yan somewhat speechless.
"Do you think I came to persuade you to quit?"
"Ah? Isn't it?"
Furina looked at Jiang Yan with a naive expression.
The latter shook his head and laughed.
"If I didn't want to accept you, I would have let you leave before the Heart-Questioning Array. Why would I pass on immortal techniques to you and accept you into the sect?"
"Do you think you can hide your physical condition from me? Don't underestimate a cultivator of Refining Spirit into Void."
Jiang Yan smiled and tapped Furina's forehead, saying softly:
"Your talent is one of the best in Shushan today, so I naturally have high hopes for you."
"As for the problem of incomplete spiritual character, you should have the answer in your heart, so I don't need to mention it again."
"But you must know..."
Jiang Yan gazed at Furina with deep eyes and said faintly:
"You are unique, you are an independent person, and you are no worse than anyone else."
"I have many ways to help you make up for the problem of incomplete spiritual character. For Shushan, this is a small matter that can be done easily."
"Incomplete spiritual character is not something you should worry about. I asked you to stay just to tell you."
Jiang Yan paused, and his gentle gaze penetrated Furina's pupils and went straight into her heart.
The heart that had not had a single day of peace and tranquility for five hundred years suddenly settled at this moment.
"You have many things to worry about, many things you care about, but after joining Shushan, you don't need to worry about these. The only thing you should consider is how to cultivate."

"All Shushan disciples are people of Shushan. Since they are people of Shushan, Shushan has the right to solve all troubles for its disciples."
"Of course, Shushan has always supported disciples in cultivating on their own and resolving their obsessions. This is also a very good reason to encourage disciples to cultivate."
"But I understand, I know everything you are worried about."
"You don't need to worry about running out of time. If you can't hold on, you still have me behind you, and the entire Shushan."
"Once you enter Shushan, you are no longer alone. Disciples shed blood for Shushan's growth, and Shushan must protect its disciples."
"So..."
"Furina, from this moment on, start caring for yourself, and put more thought into yourself."
"Your talent should not be dragged down by worldly affairs. You could have gone to a higher and further place."
Listening to Jiang Yan's words, Furina stood there in a daze.
For five hundred years, everyone, including "the me in the mirror," had been conveying the same thought to her at all times.
You are the Hydro Archon, put others first.
You are the Hydro Archon, you must love others more than yourself.
Over time, Furina also believed this.
But everyone forgot, Focalors might remember, but she could only do this.
Furina is essentially a human, with human joys, sorrows, pride, indulgence, laziness, fear...
Everyone tried their best to cut off Furina's seven emotions and six desires, letting her be a qualified Hydro Archon.
It's just that, today...
This is the first time in five hundred years that someone has persuaded her to love herself.
Compared to the advice of helping the world, this kind of persuasion seems a bit selfish.
But this is what Furina craves the most.
In the quiet sect hall, the sound of water droplets splashing suddenly echoed.
Furina gently raised her hand to touch her cheek.
It was a bit wet.
She, the dignified Hydro Archon, actually cried?
How can the Hydro Archon cry?
Clearly, the crisis of the prophecy has not yet arrived, and she has also found a way to solve the prophecy crisis.
Jiang Yan even encouraged her. This is clearly a gathering of many, many happy things. Why would she cry?
It must be that crying dragon Neuvillette who influenced her!
She just said so!
Fontaine rains every few days, and that guy Neuvillette looks mature and steady.
In fact, he is crying and rolling around with a water dragon pillow behind his back every day.
It's all Neuvillette's fault for crying every day, being a crybaby, and infecting the wise and martial Hydro Archon who never sheds tears.
Furina pouted and wiped away her tears, but the more she wiped, the more there were.
Soon, her clothes were soaked with tears.
Furina felt a bit embarrassed, sobbing, and looked at Jiang Yan with a wronged expression.
"Sect Master, I didn't... I didn't cry on purpose..."
"I actually don't usually..."
Before she finished speaking, Jiang Yan gave a light laugh and raised his hand to gently wipe away Furina's tears.
This move was much more effective than her wiping it herself just now.
Soon, Furina sniffed and stopped crying.
With teary eyes, she looked at Jiang Yan, and the golden light of the Dao character in the sect hall spread out behind him.
