“Qiong Hua ……” Ning Cheng felt his throat was a little dry, clearly Qiong Hua was in front of him, but he always felt that he had lost something.
Master Qiong Hua sighed and raised his hand to beat the ban, “Brother Ning, sit down.”
Ning Cheng did not sit down and took a deep breath, “Qiong Hua, have you forgotten what happened before? At the beginning, I heard Luo Fei say that if it wasn’t for you, she would have been killed by your sister. Since you still remember me, why do you want to make me feel strange?”
Teacher Qiong Hua gazed at Ning Cheng, and for a while she suddenly took out a jade slip and placed it in Ning Cheng’s hand, “This is the Nine Revolutions Sacred Dao Skill that I cultivated, and this merit jade slip was given to me by my mother after I succeeded in the first step of my Nine Revolutions Sacred Dao Skill.” In the history of the Nine Revolutions Sacred Dao Pond, only the first patriarch had successfully cultivated the Nine Revolutions Sacred Dao Skill. That first Patriarch was my ancestor, and I am considered the second person to have crossed the most difficult step in the cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Sacred Dao Skill.”
The jade slip carried a hint of vicissitudes, clearly coming from the distant past. Ning Cheng did not bother to look at the jade slip in his hand, instead he placed it on the table and calmed down his tone a little, “Qiong Hua, you just need to tell me if your memories are still there?”
Shi Qiong Hua nodded, “My memories are still there, no one has ever touched me with anything. After cultivating nine reincarnations of the Nine Revolutions of the Sacred Dao Technique, after completing the first step of cultivation, all the grudges and emotions from the previous nine lives will be cut off. When I was at the Wuji Holy Land, the first step had not been completely perfected and retained the emotions from my previous lives. Later, when I cast the Soul Concealment Blessing and fell into a coma, my mother helped me seize the Purple Yin Divine Spring Pearl when I was about to fall.
After I recovered, the first step of the Nine Revolutions of the Holy Dao Technique was completely completed, cutting off all emotions from the previous nine lives and retaining some important memories. You and I became husband and wife, and this was an important memory for me to keep.”
“No wonder you joined the Chopped Emotions Daoist Sect, so there are traces of it right here ……” Ning Cheng murmured out under his breath, his heart was sad, what he wanted was not for Qiong Hua to merely retain his memories. What was the difference between retaining memories and chopping off emotions and that Xu Yingdie?
“This is for you ……” Shi Qiong Hua did not know what to say, she took out a mottled copper coin and placed it in Ning Cheng’s hand.
Five Elements Falling Treasure Bronze Coin? Ning Cheng gazed at the Five Elements Falling Treasure Bronze Coin in his hand as his thoughts went back a long way. This magic treasure was perhaps more of a mere memento to the current him.
Shi Qiong Hua looked at Ning Cheng in silence, not interrupting Ning Cheng’s thoughts.
It was not known how long had passed before Ning Cheng placed the copper coin in Shi Qionghua’s hand, “Qionghua, this is something I gave to you, if you still feel like it then keep it with you. If you don’t like it anymore, just throw it away ……”
Ning Cheng suddenly thought of Tian Muwan giving his beaded flower to someone else and throwing it away under false pretenses, and could not say another word.
Shi Qiong Hua grabbed the Five Elements Falling Treasure Bronze Coin and said softly, “I won’t throw it away. Even though I have cut off the emotions of my first nine lives because I have cultivated into the Nine Revolutions of the Holy Dao Technique, we can still start again.”
Ning Cheng looked up at Shi Qionghua in surprise, raised his hand and grabbed Shi Qionghua’s hand and said in a trembling voice, “Qionghua, then are you willing to walk with me ……”
Shi Qionghua did not break away from Ning Cheng’s hand and looked at Ning Cheng and said softly, “I’m sorry, Brother Ning, I can’t go with you. I want to cross over to the third step, and then, then …… maybe I will go to you ……”
At the end of the sentence, Shi Qiong Hua herself did not have the confidence to say any further.
“Is this what your mother told you as well?” Ning Cheng was lost in his heart.
Shi Qiong Hua was silent for a while before nodding, “Yes, my mother said that I can’t go with you yet. If I go with you, my cultivation in my first nine lives will be reduced to nothing. Since the opening of my Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond, I am the only one who has any hope of going in search of the first patriarch, my mother and the ancestors of the clan have placed great hopes on me, this is an important matter for my Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond, I ……”
“So you yourself are willing to go with me?” Ning Cheng looked into Shi Qiong Hua’s eyes and asked word for word.
Shi Qiong Hua looked at Ning Cheng silently for a while before her gaze slowly softened, “I have never had any thoughts about any man and yet I am married to you in the ninth life. I think I must have fallen in love with you with my life, even if I cut off my emotions from my ninth life due to cultivation, I still can’t part with this memory ……”
Ning Cheng’s feelings for Shi Qiong Hua’s those Xu disappeared without a trace, no longer caring that Shi Qiong Hua was the Holy Daughter of the Nine Revolutions Sacred Dao Pond, his hand tightened and he had already pulled Shi Qiong Hua in his arms.
Shi Qionghua’s entire body trembled, and with an umph, she surprisingly no longer refused Ning Cheng’s embrace, instead she quietly wrapped her arms around Ning Cheng, her body instantly became soft, “Husband, you want me now, then take me away ……”
Ning Cheng, however, suddenly pushed Shi Qiong Hua away and raised his hand as dozens of hand seals fell on Shi Qiong Hua’s body. Several Xuanhuang Origin Breaths were forcibly sent into Shi Qiong Hua’s body by Ning Cheng.
Shi Qiong Hua’s rapidly disintegrating Dao rhythm coalesced once again under Ning Cheng’s handprints.
Ning Cheng wiped the blood from the corner of Shi Qiong Hua’s mouth, clenched his fist and asked, “Qiong Hua, what’s going on?”
If it was the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond that was up to no good, he would immediately step back.
Shi Qionghua’s eyes dimmed up, “No one else is to blame, it’s the technique I cultivated. After I succeeded in cultivating the Nine Revolutions Sacred Dao Skill, I couldn’t let go of the bits and pieces of my time with you and secretly sealed them down. Just now my mind was agitated and I, my emotional seal broke open ……”
Ning Cheng raised his hand and grabbed the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Skill jade slip that he had placed to the side just now, and his divine sense swept in. In a short time, he understood what was going on.
The Nine Revolutions Sacred Dao Skill had to cut off all memories and all emotions from the previous eight lives in the ninth life. Master Qiong Hua had one more life, and she had succeeded in cultivating the Nine Revolutions Sacred Dao Technique in her tenth life, and she even dared to retain her emotional memories with herself, which was simply seeking death.
Just now, if he did not possess the Xuanhuang Origin Breath and powerful cultivation, Shi Qiong Hua was afraid that her soul would have been destroyed.
If he retained his emotional memory, there was only one way to solve this hidden danger, and that was to cross over to the third step. However, once the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Technique crossed into the third step, it would cut off all sealed memories and those emotions in the manner of the Great Dao. In other words, the memories that Shi Qiong Hua actively retained would also be chopped away by the Great Dao of the Nine Transitions Sacred Dao Technique.
At that time, he and Shi Qionghua would completely become two strangers.
Ning Cheng hated to crush this rubbish gong method all together, such a difficult gong method to cultivate, and such harsh conditions after successful cultivation.
“Did your mother bring you to the Taiyi Realm because this was the place where you could perfect your Nine Revolutions Sacred Dao Skill?” Ning Cheng calmed down, he knew that anger could not solve any problems.
Shi Qiong Hua nodded, “Mm, the first patriarch of my Nine Revolutions Sacred Dao Pond crossed the third step in the Tai Yi Realm. My mother brought me and my sister here to find out where the place where the First Patriarch crossed into the Third Step was as well, so that I could stay there for closed-door cultivation.”
Ning Cheng took a deep breath, no wonder Shi Shashi didn’t care that he had come to see Shi Qiong Hua, it was because he knew that he couldn’t take Shi Qiong Hua away. With Shi Qiong Hua by his side, that emotional seal would be broken again at any moment. With their emotions, staying together all the time, not to mention that the emotional seal would not be solid, it would be normal even for them to rub shoulders.
As long as Shi Qiong Hua was not by his side, then the memory left by Shi Qiong Hua would have little impact, and as Shi Qiong Hua’s cultivation level continued to deepen, this memory impact would become shallower and shallower, and it would be normal for him to eventually cross over to the third step and be cut off by the Great Dao.
“Perhaps, you sealed the memories your mother and Shi Yiqing of the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond knew about it, and they deliberately did not block it.” Ning Cheng felt powerless for the first time, as Shi Qiong Hua stayed by her mother’s side, her cultivation would grow stronger and the effect of her memories would grow weaker. If he followed him around, what would end up happening, he would not know.
Not every time would something happen to Shi Qiong Hua in his arms, once he left for some time, what would happen then?
Master Qiong Hua she shook her head, “No, I sealed it myself, I ……”
Seeing that Shi Qiong Hua was going to talk about the sadness again, Ning Cheng hurriedly stopped her from talking about it.
“Qiong Hua, just follow your mother and cultivate, eventually one day I will find a way and go for it.” Ning Cheng made up his mind not to take away Shi Qiong Hua for the time being.
Shi Qionghua shook her head and looked at Ning Cheng for a while before saying, “I am afraid that if I really cross over to the third step, then I will never recognize who you are again ……”
Not knowing who Ning Cheng was was a lie, once Shi Qiong Hua crossed into the third step, even if she knew who Ning Cheng was, I was afraid that that emotion would be chopped away by the Great Dao and would have no more effect on her.
Ning Cheng looked at Shi Qiong Hua and said, “Qiong Hua, you seal the memories of our emotions once again. Just like you told me before, since we can love each other once, we can love each other a second time. Suppose you prove the third step before I find a way, then let me chase a third step great power as my wife once more.”
Shi Qiong Hua looked at Ning Cheng in silence, she suddenly believed that even if one day she had attained the Third Step, Ning Cheng would still be able to make her fall in love with him.
“Qiong Hua, remember that there is a kind of love that does not enter the cycle of reincarnation, that does not count in time and space, and that even the strongest dao cannot cut away. If the Great Dao cuts away that love, we will do it again. If the Great Dao prevents us from doing it again, I will cut off that Great Dao. Right now I don’t have the strength, one day, I can do it, you believe in me.” Ning Cheng looked into Shi Qiong Hua’s eyes and said firmly.
“Boom boom boom ……” As Ning Cheng’s words fell, several booms rang out in the air, and in the darkness there seemed to be a great dao that felt Ning Cheng’s words were too arrogant.
All the people in the courtyard ran out, looking at the thundering sky in shock, not knowing what had happened. Luckily, the thunder only roared for a long time and slowly disappeared without falling.
It was as if Shi Qiong Hua had not heard the thundering in the air, and after Ning Cheng had finished speaking, he nodded solemnly, “I believe you.”
