The Supreme Being Forgets Emotion and Heart-to-Heart Connection: A Dialectic of Emotional Daoist Arts

Within Shiji Dao Field, innate Spiritual Energy was thick as syrup, already transformed into tangible violet-gold clouds and mist that coiled around the floating immortal islands. However, as Shiji Dao Field's name shook All Heavens, certain "Supreme Ancient Immortals" who had awakened from ancient Epochs began to visit frequently. They were not enemies, but rather the remnants of this universe—an extremely paranoid school of cultivation.

Before the Heart-Questioning Platform at the center of the dao field, several old men whose bodies gave off cold dao rhythms stared icily at Chu Qing. They did not cultivate the Red Dust, did not stain themselves with karma, regarded all things as straw dogs, and pursued a kind of absolutely rational "supreme forgetfulness of emotion."

"Dao Venerable, though the Shiji Dao Field you founded gathers the Spiritual Energy of ten thousand daos, there are too many emotional bonds twined around you." The leading old man's voice was dry and rough, like a grinding stone. "These desires of the Red Dust are death knots on the path of seeking the dao. If you wish to prove longevity, you must first sever the seven emotions and six desires. If you remain stubbornly unenlightened and cultivate together with these beloved confidantes, you will ultimately be trapped by karmic backlash, unable to ascend to the one true peak of the dao."

Chu Qing sat cross-legged on a prayer mat, his robes snapping in the wind. He listened to the old man's admonition, yet his expression remained calm as a deep pool.

"Supreme forgetfulness of emotion—if forgetting emotion is enough to attain the dao, then how are all things in this world any different from ignorant, stubborn stones?" Chu Qing smiled faintly, and that composure born from the depths of his soul made even the surrounding void ripple slightly.
