Chapter 151: How Could I Have Thoughts About Her?!

【Li Junling gazed obsessively at the line of text on the stone wall, falling into a state from which it was difficult to recover for a long time.】

【"Wonderful... wonderful—"】

【"No matter how refined a move is, it ultimately has a framework. As long as one uses sword moves according to this framework, there must be a way to break them."】

【"Because in this world, there is no such thing as a sword move without any flaws."】

【"When learning moves, one must learn them flexibly; when using moves, one must use them flexibly. But when encountering someone whose moves counter yours, no matter how flexible or clever your moves are, you will still be constrained by them. If you meet a true master, you will eventually be broken completely."】

【"Learning moves and practicing moves—knowing how to use these moves is actually only the first step on the path of the sword."】

【"But if there are no moves, who in the world can break them?"】

【"Breaking a move is like chopping firewood; there is always a cut where the axe can enter, and a move must have a place where it can be broken. But if you have no moves, the opponent must also find a flaw and a breakable point before they can break you."】

【"When you have no framework and no moves, and you have refined just one sword strike to its essence, and honed just one sword strike to its peak, how can the opponent break this sword technique of yours that has no moves to speak of?"】

【"In this way, the art of the sword is naturally impossible to guard against."】

【"To control others, yet never be controlled by others; to follow one's heart and not be constrained by moves—what kind of extraordinary person could have left behind such incisive insights?"】

【Li Junling was filled with deep emotion.】

【"Senior, although you and I do not have the title of master and disciple, we already have the reality of it. Today, having received such profound teachings from you, I should offer a bow."】

【"My mentor Gu Jiangming is above; please accept this bow from your disciple."】

On Gu Jiangming's information interface, a master-disciple relationship chart had already appeared, and beneath his name, an interpersonal relationship labeled "Disciple" had extended out.

In the very beginning, Gu Jiangming had wanted to leave a legacy for his future self within the past history.

But Gu Jiangming ultimately discovered that leaving things for himself was difficult to retrieve on one hand, and on the other, some insights were familiar to him, but knowing them and being able to realize them were two different things.

Just like this "No-Move Wins Over Move," Gu Jiangming had the concept, yet still found it difficult to penetrate its mysteries, so he simply tossed out a seed to see if it would ever blossom and bear fruit.

It was just that Gu Jiangming did not expect that the legacy he left behind would produce the intended effect in such a short time.

In fact, this was also fate; an ordinary person would clearly not be able to see the clues in such a passage, or at least would not understand the true value of these words.

But once one has a sudden enlightenment, it becomes unstoppable.

【Over these two years, you felt a bead within the Underworld River that was constantly devouring the water of the Underworld River. You surmised that besides the Five Elements Map, there must be other treasures hidden in the Underworld River.】

【According to what Long Xi said, the Underworld River had long been a place that demon creatures and spirits avoided, because in the water of the Underworld River, there was a kind of filthy blood water that made the Demon Race feel uncomfortable; if they stayed here for a long time, their cultivation realm would drop.】

【However, for a Dragon Race bloodline like hers, at most she only felt a slight sense of disgust.】

【You headed toward the constantly swirling central waters of the Underworld River and reached out to grab at the vortex within.】

【You finally saw the treasure that kept the Underworld River flowing forever.】

【And this treasure was one you were very familiar with; it was none other than the Taiyi Stone.】

【As you took the Taiyi Stone away, the Underworld River was no longer as turbulent as before, falling into a deathly silence.】

【You watched the Taiyi Stone constantly inhaling and exhaling the blood energy of the Underworld River, realizing that this object was a magical treasure for suppressing the resentment of the Underworld River.】

【Wang Qinghe's gaze revealed a trace of surprise; she felt that she had been attracted by the Taiyi Stone, but she also did not know why she would have a connection with it.】

【In her heart, she wanted to obtain the Taiyi Stone, but was ashamed to ask, and ultimately gave up on requesting the Taiyi Stone from you.】

【You believed that the Taiyi Stone had great use for you and was an extremely important part of the layout in the "Four Thousand Bureau".】

【Precisely because of this, you could not give the Taiyi Stone to Wang Qinghe.】

【You are a person with subjective self-awareness, knowing what should be given and what cannot be given; knowing how to refuse is what makes a person with a complete personality.】

【You immediately gifted the magical treasure, the Five Elements Map, to Wang Qinghe.】

【Wang Qinghe also did not bring up the idea of wanting to get the Taiyi Stone, only smiling and saying to you: "In the Underworld River, what attracted me was precisely this magical treasure called the Five Elements Map. It is truly great that you could give this treasure to me."】

Wang Qinghe took the Five Elements Map and revealed a joyful smile; although the Taiyi Stone was the thing that mainly attracted her, she could empathize with Gu Jiangming.

Since Gu Jiangming did not offer to give it to her, it proved that the Taiyi Stone had great use for him.

Moreover, Wang Qinghe and Gu Jiangming also had a lifetime of fate, and Wang Qinghe had a deep understanding of Gu Jiangming's character.

As long as it was not something particularly important, Gu Jiangming was willing to give it to her, so Wang Qinghe would not be stubbornly insistent on getting the Taiyi Stone.

Furthermore, Gu Jiangming had still given her the Five Elements Map.

Just for this point, Wang Qinghe was quite content; at least Gu Jiangming still thought of her in his heart.

【You obtained the Taiyi Stone, and the "Four Thousand Bureau" now possessed the conditions for preliminary cultivation.】

【For you, your cultivation realm was equally important, because only by possessing strength could you protect the son Liu Moran bore for you, keep Gu Nianmo safe, and also use force to break through ten thousand techniques to solve the existing problems.】

【And the outstanding talent and cultivation of Liu Moran and Jiu Jiu placed you under unprecedented pressure; without an unparalleled divine ability like the "Four Thousand Bureau", you could not even think of a way to open up the situation.】

【After obtaining the Taiyi Stone, you swallowed it into your body. As a result, the Taiyi Stone, having devoured the blood water of the Underworld River, expelled a large amount of blood energy and resentment.】

【Such blood energy and resentment greatly aided the cultivation of your "Immortal Aspect Demon Heart Path". Your Demonic Heart merged with these blood energies and resentments, granting you a brand-new form—the Demon Form.】

【After you absorbed a large amount of resentment and blood energy, the Spirit Qi in your body would automatically convert into Demonic Qi, and you would immediately cross a major cultivation realm.】

【And you automatically unlocked some instinctive divine abilities in the Demon Form.】

【Because your Demonic Heart cultivation had significantly surpassed your Immortal Aspect cultivation, your Inner Demon became increasingly powerful, and you possessed some of the Demonic Heart's ways of thinking even in your normal state.】

【Wang Qinghe noticed your abnormality immediately. As someone whose essence was a primordial spirit herb, she constantly absorbed the blood energy and resentment overflowing from you, dissolving the oppressive emotions of the Demonic Heart state.】

【It was precisely because of Wang Qinghe's existence that the evil thoughts constantly sprouting in your heart were slowly suppressed.】

【However, if things continued this way, it was by no means a good thing; your cultivation of the Immortal Aspect had to be put on the agenda.】

【Among this, what made you feel most panicked was that in the thoughts under the indulgence of the Demonic Heart, you actually developed inappropriate evil thoughts toward someone as pure as Long Xi.】

【So no matter what, you could not continue like this; you had to find a way to break the excessive Demonic Heart, otherwise, you feared it would lead to even greater trouble.】

【Three more days passed, and the blood energy and resentment overflowing from the Taiyi Stone once again affected your emotions.】

【You and Wang Qinghe triggered a new plot.】
