The long dream seemed endless, and memories of Su Xinghe were resurfacing.
Memories from over ten thousand years ago are flooding in, disrupting the memories of Su Xi and her alter ego.
Moreover, the emotions that had been severed were now infecting Su Xi as she merged with Su Xinghe's memories.
Su Xi felt that her emotions were becoming weaker.
If this continues, Su Xi will no longer have any emotions other than lust and desire.
Upon realizing this, Su Xi was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.
"We need to think of ways to avoid this situation."
Su Xi didn't want to become a wooden person without emotions. Besides, if she had no emotions, would she still cherish Su Yu?
No way.
Therefore, she wouldn't allow it.
Fortunately, Su Xinghe had severed too many of her emotions and desires, so the impact of the resurrected memories on her was very mild.
Furthermore, after Su Xinghe lost his seven emotions and six desires, he didn't even have the desire to compete for control of memories. The revived memories only affected Su Xi calmly and slowly.
So now, as long as we figure out how to deal with this huge pile of memories, we can avoid being infected and losing our emotions and desires.
Su Xi thought for a long time.
I finally remembered a cultivation technique that my master had taught me. This memory was triggered when I touched an old object while I was bored later. The technique was called the Ice Heart Art.
However, I had already used up all my magic power, so I didn't end up learning it.
Besides restoring magical power, this technique can also calm the mind and prevent external interference.
Now, it's the perfect time to reject the interference of these resurrected memories and maintain one's own sense of self.
Su Xi quickly searched through her resurrected memories and found the scene of her master teaching her the martial arts, then instantly transferred it into Su Xinghe's body.
The master stopped chanting incantations abruptly, then smiled kindly at Su Xi and said, "You've come."
"Yes, I'm here."
Su Xi had grown accustomed to her master's ability to discover her anytime, anywhere.
Lin Xier, who was listening attentively to the lecture, looked at her master and asked in confusion, "Who's here?"
Bai Qianqian calmly said, "Brother Su said he's here."
Lin Xier was dumbfounded. "Huh?"
Then she looked at Su Xinghe with a puzzled expression. Wasn't Brother Su always here?
Su Xi smiled.
This Lin Xier, is quite cute; I couldn't resist ruffling her head.
Lin Xier's face instantly turned red.
Bai Qianqian watched calmly.
"Alright," the master interrupted the three's interaction. "Now that everyone's here, listen carefully. Today's technique is called the Ice Heart Art. As the name suggests, this technique can make your hearts as calm and hard as ice, greatly reducing the chances of Inner Demon invading..."
The master's slow and kind voice lingered in Su Xi's ears.
Not long after.
Su Xi felt that she had learned it.
As she began to circulate the incantation, in an instant, Su Xi felt her emotions no longer fluctuate, and those resurrected memories could no longer affect Su Xi.
All of Su Xinghe's experiences are gradually being revived and accepted by Su Xi.
Soon, Su Xi saw through Su Xinghe's true thoughts from these memories.
It's true that he resurrected his master. When he saw the old teacher die, Su Xinghe felt extremely powerless. His master's death brought back that powerless memory.
That's why the idea of reviving my master came to mind.
During this process, Su Xinghe thought a lot.
I tried many methods to revive my master, but none of them worked.
Until one day, he saw the way to Combine with Dao: to sever the seven emotions and six desires, to transform himself into a personality without individuality, and then to engrave the things he wanted to accomplish in his heart, to merge with the Dao of Heaven, and to change the Dao of Heaven.
Moreover, the method was quite extreme, involving self-sacrifice.
These ideas, besides wanting to resurrect their master, also included the desire to completely separate the Immortal and Mortal, preventing immortals from descending to the mortal realm at will and bringing disaster to them.
Seeing this, Su Xi understood that the old teacher's words had a profound impact on Su Xinghe.
A White Clad Sword Immortal suddenly appeared.
He said, "For your own selfish reasons, you failed to achieve Combine with Dao, your master's resurrection is hopeless, and the possibility of separating Immortal and Mortal will also completely fail. From now on, all mortals will continue to live in a world of suffering. Do you regret it?"
Su Xi sighed, pondered, and shook her head.
"You are the Xinghe, the Xinghe that illuminates the world, while I am just a stream, a stream that can only look up at you. The stream has no lofty ideals or ambitions, it only wants to protect its own little plot of land and live a good life."
The White Clad Sword Immortal sighed, "Yes, you are no longer the true Xinghe."
Even a small stream will one day flow into the sea.
"Su Xinghe's ideas will influence you one day. I hope that when that time comes, you won't regret it, otherwise I will reappear."
Su Xi: "... Who are you?"
"I am also you." The White Clad Sword Immortal transformed into Su Xi's appearance and spoke calmly.
Su Xi frowned. "Inner Demon?"
This isn't the first time I've seen the image of the White Clad Sword Immortal. The first time I saw him was inside Space-Time Vortex, but the White Clad Sword Immortal I saw here felt very different from the first time.
Since it's not the 'ego', it could be the 'superego'.
The 'superego' represents moral values.
It is also the primary source of Inner Demon.
"That's right, I am your Inner Demon."
Su Xi laughed and said, "This is Inner Demon left behind by the 'self'. Because of your choices in the mortal world, no matter what the final result is, you will have to face me unless you can succeed in asking your own conscience."
"I have a clear conscience," Su Xi said.
Solving such a major issue as the Immortal and Mortal relationship is never something that Su Xinghe can handle alone. Furthermore, since his master is suspected to be alive, resurrection is out of the question.
Su Xi was very calm about this.
"Yes, I know. That's why I said you're not the real Su Xinghe, otherwise he would definitely regret it. But don't be too happy. You've succeeded in asking your heart this time. But what about the future? The influence Su Xinghe left behind won't disappear so easily. I look forward to the day when the stream flows into the sea."
'Su Xi' revealed a strange smile, then gradually disappeared.
Su Xi remained silent.
If I am selfish enough, I will not be able to develop the idea that with great power comes great responsibility, and thus Su Xinghe's influence will be impossible.
Of course, when she learned that her choice had led to the failure of the separation between Immortal and Mortal, and that similar disasters to those in the small fishing village would occur frequently in various places, Su Xi did feel a little bit of regret.
It was probably this little bit of regret that brought out the 'superego'.
But more than saving the world, Su Xi wanted to go back to Yinxuan and enjoy family life.
The throne of the immortals?
What's it to me!
If tall people aren't worried, why should I be?
