Soul-Searching: A Taixu Mountain Tradition

"Good riddance!"

Pardo couldn't help but clap and cheer.

A Fu Hua who is rigid yet gentle and will protect her companions in times of danger is far better than the Scarlet Bird Immortal, who is like a machine and only knows how to fight against the Honkai, created by the side effects of Divine Sound.

"It's such a pity. It's because of the side effects of the Divine Sound that Hua Mingming was able to regain his invincible state like the Scarlet Bird Immortal... Sigh."

Sakura sighed.

Half of Fu Hua's tragic fate can be attributed to Divine Sound.

"I wonder if Sister Nia and May, who chose this experiment, considered the consequences?"

Sakura glanced at Mei sitting in the back row.

To be honest, putting aside the fact that she and Mei are best friends in real life, she really dislikes the Mei in the story. She is too rational, even though she knows that rationality is indispensable for the leaders of the Previous Era.

Mei, who was sitting in the back row, was stunned.

"It seems that I do indeed have a responsibility that I cannot escape."

Kevin quickly comforted him.

"How could that be, Mei? Your starting point was also to fight against the Honkai. You couldn't have foreseen the changes tens of thousands of years later. We can only see this moment. Hua's memories will exceed the brain's storage capacity, and we will have to delete the memories."

"That's why you set up the Divine Sound for her, to fight against the Honkai in this lifetime, and to kill anyone who falls into demonic ways."

Kevin rubbed Mei's head.

Mei felt unfamiliar with his mature tone.

In May's eyes, Kevin has always been like a child who hasn't grown up.

But Kevin, standing before her, was rationally analyzing the gains and losses for her and offering her comfort.

Even Mobius was somewhat taken aback when he saw Kevin like this.

It could have been Su or Yaqing who said those words, but it was Kevin who said them.

Yaqing smiled, though she showed no surprise.

"Kevin..."

Mei opened her mouth.

Kevin smiled, as if ice that has stood for millennia melted upon contact with fire.

The camera pans to a gentle white light shining on the lake.

The gentle, ancient accompaniment of Tai Xu Mountain, a tune hailed by the audience as a celestial melody, resounded once more.

This moment perfectly reflects Fu Hua's state of mind, perfectly embodying the tranquil state of Tai Xu Sword Heart.

Logically speaking, her sword heart should have been shattered by the great fire of Tai Xu Mountain, so this lake of the heart should not exist at all.

Is that you?

The answer had already formed in Fu Hua's mind.

"Morning Rain..."

"It's that wicked disciple again."

Little Knowledge felt a surge of bad luck and gritted his teeth in frustration.

Despite being one of the main culprits in the murder of her master, Lin Chaoyu inexplicably appears whenever her old-fashioned past has a storyline related to the Taixu Sword Technique.

"It's like a dog skin plaster."

If it weren't for the fact that it's uncivilized, Little Knowledge would have loved to spit on the ground.

"Perhaps there's some hidden story."

Fu Hua said uncertainly.

Unexpectedly, this sentence directly ignited Little Knowledge, making him react like an angry, bristling kitten.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could those people (* Tai Xu Mountain profanity*) possibly have some hidden story? You raised them, you saved them, and this is how they treat you?!"

Little Knowledge Hongwen has been diagnosed.

Fu Hua could only keep trying to appease him; in this situation, she could only go along with it.

Chapter 480 Questioning the Heart, a tradition of Tai Xu Mountain.

In the frozen moment, the familiar figure from five hundred years ago, Lin Chaoyu, appeared in front of Fu Hua.

Fu Hua instantly understood that Lin Chaoyu, whom Kiana and the others encountered back in Tai Xu Mountain, was not an illusion created out of thin air by the Herrscher of Sentience, but had always existed there.

Lin Chaoyu closed her beautiful eyes; it was all meaningless now. Not only her, but even Fu Hua would probably return to dust.

The Divine Essence created by Fu Hua is irresistible. The only way to survive is to use Divine Essence against Divine Essence, but Fu Hua no longer has time to retrain her sword heart.

Fu Hua shook her head slightly. The so-called Divine Essence is, in essence, the Honkai energy controlled by someone with a sword heart. She still has a way to block that sword, or even dissipate it.

Lin Chaoyu was somewhat incredulous when he heard that Fu Hua was going to use his physical body to withstand the Tai Xu Sword God. The tangible part could be offset, but what about the intangible part?

"You no longer have Feather of the Wind."

"That's why we met."

Fu Hua's tone was extremely solemn, as if she had made some kind of decision; she was dignified and solemn.

"Only by blocking this sword can I find a sliver of hope for victory and stop Otto from doing anything more. For this, I must... say goodbye to you."

Upon hearing that Fu Hua had made a decision, Lin Chaoyu sighed softly, her lowered eyes gazing at the calm lake surface.

"Have you decided... to let go of the past?"

All that was in the past, is now consigned to this moment.

Flames of Phoenix Fu Hua burned within her, forming a halo behind her.

The abrupt end of the Tai Xu Mountain accompaniment and Lin Chaoyu's sigh, coupled with the appearance of Phoenix Fu Hua, indicate that the plot is unfolding in the direction that viewers have been fearing.

"Hua is about to burn his memories again?!"

After her Elysia surprise came sadness.

In Elysia's opinion, what hurt Cheng Lixue the most in the first movie was not death, but that Fu Hua could not remember her as his apprentice after burning his memories.

The line, "All that was in the past is now," in particular, brought back unpleasant memories for them.

"The screenwriter is just targeting Hua, isn't he?!"

Pardo the Kitty was furious.

"Hua has already suffered enough, and now she has to burn her memories? Judging from Lin Chaoyu's words, does she mean that if she wants to successfully resist the Tai Xu Sword God, Hua has to burn all her previous memories?!"

Pardo didn't dare to think any further.

Even if they successfully thwart Otto's plan, how heartbroken would Kiana and the others be when they return to find that their class monitor, who has always taken care of and protected them, has forgotten them?

"It's not necessarily all of my memories."

Sakura's gentle voice brought some comfort to Pardo.

It created a kind of illusion called hope in her heart.

"Sister Ying, you mean..."

"It may just be burning away 500 years of memories."

As Sakura finished speaking lightly, she seemed to hear a crisp cracking sound, and turned to look at Pardo with a smile.

Sakura's exquisitely beautiful face, with its gentle smile, was no different from a demon in Pardo's eyes.

"Huahe and Otto are like standing on opposite ends of a scale, like the positive and negative poles of a magnet, one yin and one yang, clear and distinct."

Su sighed.

"Blind man, speak human language."

Kalpas's tone was very unpleasant; he would never admit that he hadn't understood.

Su smiled but didn't make it clear, fearing that Kalpas would be embarrassed and angry. At least Kalpas wasn't calling someone blind.

You can offend anyone, but never offend the cook.

"Fu Hua would sacrifice the past to protect the present, while Otto would sacrifice the present to return to the past. Isn't that a wonderful contrast?"

Upon hearing Su's explanation, Kalpas remained noncommittal.

Upon seeing Fu Hua seemingly wanting to reignite her memories, the live chat erupted in excitement.

In the second movie, Fu Hua also burned her memories, but at that time the audience did not know about Fu Hua's past, so they were indifferent to it. But now they have seen the emotions between Fu Hua and Kiana and their past.

When the memory of Fu Hua's sacrifice was seen again, the comments section was filled with friendly greetings to the screenwriter.

Just when everyone thought Fu Hua was about to reignite her memories, her calm voice reached everyone's ears, bringing surprise and excitement.

"No, that was indeed something I often did in the past. Through helpless destruction, memories became my power like pure fuel..."

"But now, I won't do that."

"You..."

Lin Chaoyu looked bewildered, and the peaceful and serene accompaniment from Tai Xu Mountain began to play again.

The unexpected developments somewhat eased the audience's anxiety, and the number of friendly greetings to the screenwriter in the comments section decreased significantly.

"Only now do I understand what it means for me to remember every moment of the past."

"Those memories may be gone, but even after they've burned away, they will still leave indelible marks on me."

"Me as Hua, me as Chi Yuan, me as Fu Hua..."

"They are like nodes in life, connected to each other, forming the path I came from."

"That wasn't fate, but the path I chose for myself..."

Fu Hua closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was no longer confused. The hesitation and restraint she once had vanished, and her bright eyes seemed to indicate that her combat power had returned to its peak.

"Life's journey is a series of ups and downs, ultimately ending in failure before achieving success."

Lin Chaoyu then realized that Fu Hua's winning strategy was never about swordsmanship and Divine Essence, but rather about her past experiences and knowledge, with a little bit of luck added on top of that.

Lin Chaoyu never expected that the words "winning by luck" would one day come from the mouth of True Immortal Chi Yuan, but this was not necessarily a bad thing.

"At this moment, you are indeed nothing more than fragments of personality remaining in my mind. But even if it's just a minor detail, I... absolutely do not want to forget it."

"If there is no past... how can there be a future?"

"Hmm... Alright, Master. Until we meet again."

Lin Chaoyu's figure disappeared in the dazzling white light, and as she vanished, she looked at Fu Hua's figure and finally smiled.

Fu Hua's gaze gradually sharpened.

"It's time... Come, Divine Essence, I... can take it!"

Seeing that Fu Hua did not choose to burn her memories, Elysia breathed a sigh of relief.

Then I felt a sense of relief.

Fu Hua is truly changing; it's not so much about growth as being changed by the people around her.

If it were the old her, when faced with true despair and helplessness, she would probably choose to sacrifice herself without hesitation.

That's how it was at Tai Xu Mountain.

But Kiana changed her.

"That scared us to death! We thought Hua was really going to burn his memories."

Pardo patted the apple on her chest.

The setup at the beginning is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat, but the contrast in the later plot makes you feel relieved and gratified at the same time.

This self-examination further enriched Fu Hua's character.

"Remember when Cang Xuan Danzhu was still by Hua's side, she always refused to discard her memories. Now, can we say that she has rediscovered her original intentions?"

Eden suddenly recalled Fu Hua at the very beginning of the current civilization. Faced with Cang Xuan's proposal, she resolutely chose to refuse. However, later, as her old friends passed away one by one and her seven disciples killed their master, Fu Hua's state of mind changed.
