Let's push the time back a quarter of an hour.
Outside the Purple Cloud Pavilion!
Bai Zhenhe and the other Laozu Sect disciples from the Sky Firmament Academy had finally returned. Their figures were blurry as they hovered above the Purple Cloud Pavilion, gazing down at the Purple Cloud Pavilion that was shrouded in black fog.
"Fellow Laozu Sect disciples, please kill the God Child and save Liyu Zhen!" Qi Qiu and Sun Yanyang shouted as they kowtowed to Bai Zhenhe and the other Laozu Sect disciples from the Sky Firmament Academy. Their voices were filled with anxiety.
The other Sky Firmament Academy disciples also shouted in unison. Many of them were extremely anxious, and their voices shook the heavens!
Bai Zhenhe and the other Laozu Sect disciples from the Sky Firmament Academy did not say a word. Instead, they raised their hands and several divine weapons shone brightly in the sky. It was as if there were several small suns in their hands, dazzling everyone's eyes.
Then, a terrifying aura, which seemed to shake the sky to the point of collapsing, emanated from their bodies and the divine weapons in their hands. The aura swept through the sky. In the next second, they were about to attack the Purple Cloud Pavilion together to save Liyu Zhen.
However, at this moment, they seemed to have seen something. Their expressions changed and their hands stopped abruptly!
This was because a figure suddenly rushed towards the Purple Cloud Pavilion from the Sky Firmament Academy disciples. This person was within their attack range, forcing them to stop attacking the Purple Cloud Pavilion.
This figure was none other than Wu Kuangren.
After Wu Kuangren rushed out of the Martial Crazy Hall, he had originally headed towards the Nine Dragon Peak to look for Xiao Fan. However, he soon found out that Xiao Fan was heading towards the Purple Cloud Pavilion. Therefore, he immediately turned around and arrived in front of the Purple Cloud Pavilion. Before Bai Zhenhe and the other Laozu Sect disciples from the Sky Firmament Academy could attack, he rushed towards the Purple Cloud Pavilion.
"Wu Kuangren, what are you doing?" Seeing Wu Kuangren rushing towards the Purple Cloud Pavilion, catching everyone off guard, some of the Sky Firmament Academy's higher-ups were shocked and enraged.
"Come back!" More than a dozen Sky Firmament Academy's higher echelons unleashed their Yang auras as they stretched out their hands and shouted as they grabbed at Wu Kuangren. They wanted to capture him and stop him from obstructing Bai Zhenhe and the other Sky Firmament Academy's old ancestors.
However, it was useless!
The Great Wisdom Bell appeared above Wu Kuangren's head once again and easily blocked the hands of the Sky Firmament Academy's higher-ups. Wu Kuangren's figure stood his ground.
Then, Wu Kuangren's figure suddenly stopped in front of the black fog. He knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Fan in the Purple Cloud Pavilion. He was about to call out to Xiao Fan.
It was also at this moment that Xiao Fan and the Final Demonic Blade stopped talking about Liyu Zhen and the others' memories and traces of the Devil Nation in the Eastern Region. They turned to look at Wu Kuangren outside the Purple Cloud Pavilion.
"I …!" Just as Wu Kuangren was about to speak, he was interrupted by Xiao Fan's voice. Moreover, Xiao Fan had used his Divine Sense to speak, so only Xiao Fan and the others could hear him. No one from the Sky Firmament Academy could hear him.
"Have you figured out the answer?" Xiao Fan was also a little surprised by Wu Kuangren's sudden arrival. This was because this question wasn't easy for Wu Kuangren to answer. Xiao Fan had expected Wu Kuangren to be unable to answer this question.
In the end, Xiao Fan made a rare mistake. Wu Kuangren actually understood the problem.
"Yes!" Wu Kuangren lowered his head and replied with his soul consciousness, "The reason you accepted Lin Shan as your disciple and not me is because Lin Shan is a living, normal human being. In a sense, I'm already a fighting machine. I've lost a lot of my emotions and desires!"
"You've answered correctly!" Xiao Fan replied remotely. "There are actually other reasons why I accepted Lin Shan as my disciple. There are too many normal people in this world, and Lin Shan is just one of them. However, compared to you, this is where he's stronger!"
"But I don't understand!" Wu Kuangren shook his head. He couldn't understand. "Why is it like this? Shouldn't cultivation be about abandoning the seven emotions and six desires, like joy, anger, sorrow, and joy? "
"This is the orthodox way of cultivation in the Central imperial realm. Countless people regard it as the truth. Why do you value it so much when it comes to you?"
"If one has to abandon these things in cultivation, then what's the point of cultivation?" Xiao Fan shook his head and said, "When you reach the end of your cultivation, you'll become an emotionless rock. You won't have any friends or family by your side. You'll only be by yourself, looking around all by yourself.
"I …!" Wu Kuangren was stunned by Xiao Fan's words. This was because he had never thought about it before. Although he stood at the peak of cultivation, he would lose all his emotions, friends, and family. He would be alone for the rest of his life. Was that really what he wanted?
"In this world, the most important difference between living beings and non-living beings is that living beings have emotions and desires!" Xiao Fan opened his mouth again and said slowly, "In the end, living beings will become non-living beings in the end?"
"Then, what kind of cultivation is this?"
"Why don't you just seal yourself and cut off all your emotions? Wouldn't you be able to reach this stage faster? Why waste so much time and energy on cultivation? "
Wu Kuangren was speechless. His soul consciousness was shaking violently at this moment. It was as if his belief in cultivation had been greatly shaken.
"Emotions aren't an obstacle on the path of cultivation. They're the driving force!" Xiao Fan said quietly. "Because of emotions, people have unlimited possibilities and unlimited futures!"
"Lin Shan is a very emotional person. Therefore, even if he's still weak now, he'll definitely shine in the future. By accepting him as my disciple, I'm giving him a platform to take off!"
"You're not emotional. In your world of thoughts, there's only yourself. Therefore, I don't want to accept you as my disciple!"
"But now, I've realized my mistake. Please accept me as your disciple!" Wu Kuangren kowtowed and said with a pleading tone.
However, Xiao Fan did not reply. He only stared at Wu Kuangren, who was kneeling outside the Purple Cloud Pavilion, through the black fog that shrouded it. He seemed to be considering whether to accept Wu Kuangren as his disciple.
Lin Shan and Lime looked at each other when they heard the conversation between Xiao Fan and Wu Kuangren. Then, a hint of understanding appeared in their eyes.
When they were accepted as disciples by Xiao Fan, they didn't know why Xiao Fan valued them. Now, everything finally came to light.
Snow Red, Mu Junsu, Kōjirō, and Ning Shuang were also moved after hearing these words. They looked at Xiao Fan with an inexplicable look in their eyes.
There were many people in the world who were willing to give up everything for cultivation. Emotions were useless in the eyes of too many people. It was even an obstacle. In everyone's eyes, there were only benefits. For benefits, so what if they killed their friends, wives, children, and parents?
On the other hand, Xiao Fan was someone who valued relationships and treated them as his cultivation philosophy. This was something that truly touched their hearts.
"Maybe I'm wrong?" The ambitious Mu Junsu, who had never truly submitted to Xiao Fan, finally fell silent at this moment. Then, she began to question herself.
In response to Xiao Fan's words, the Magic Sword looked at Xiao Fan and inexplicably sighed.
Of the Five Emperors in the world, everyone thought that the God Emperor was the most honorable, the Immortal Emperor was the most ruthless, the Nether Emperor was the most mysterious, the Heavenly Emperor was the most carefree, and the Devil Emperor was the most murderous.
In terms of killing, Devil Emperor Xiao Fan was number one.
This was because during the three great battles of "Heaven Crushing", "Devil Sealing", and "Dusk", Devil Emperor Xiao Fan had personally flattened countless sects, sacred grounds, clans, and races. The entire Central imperial realm's population had decreased by one-tenth. Countless people had become part of the pile of bones beneath Devil Emperor Xiao Fan's feet and the sea of corpses behind him.
He lived up to his name as the Devil Emperor!
However, very few people knew that the Devil Emperor, who killed the most, was actually the Great Emperor who pitied all the living beings in the world. Although he treated all the living beings in the world as ants, he didn't treat them as ants.
Seeing and treating were two different things, two different concepts!
The other four Great Emperors, including the Celestial Thearch, actually viewed and treated all the living beings in the world as ants. They didn't have much emotion in them.
Moreover, during the chaos of the Demon Race, Xiao Fan originally wanted to intervene in the early stages of the war. However, he was held back by some special reasons and couldn't take action. The other four Great Emperors weren't affected at all. They could completely wipe out the Demon Race in the early stages.
However, they didn't take action. It wasn't until later on that their interests were damaged that they finally took action together with Xiao Fan to end the Demon Race's chaos.
At the same time, why was the Magic Kingdom able to grow into a behemoth in the short span of a thousand years? Why was it able to compete with countries that had been established for tens of thousands of years?
Xiao Fan's presence was a very important reason, but it was definitely not the only and main reason.
The real main reason was Xiao Fan's own charisma!
Everyone in the Magic Kingdom knew that Xiao Fan was a Great Emperor who truly pitied all living beings and really valued feelings. Therefore, the hundreds of millions of people in the Magic Kingdom worked together, from top to bottom, to erupt with unimaginable terrifying power. With a lifespan that was less than a thousand years old, they created all kinds of incredible miracles and then resisted the pressure of other countries that had been established for countless years.
Even now, the Magic Kingdom had been destroyed for more than three thousand years. The old people and descendants of the Magic Kingdom still hoped that the Magic Kingdom would be rebuilt. They were burning with passion and would not fade away because their ideals and beliefs would be passed down forever and would not be easily destroyed!
In the world, the strongest things were ideals and beliefs!
Previously, Xiao Fan returned to the world of Earth precisely because of the word 'love'. Family ties on Earth must be returned!
However!
It was also because of love that Xiao Fan's Great Emperor realm had always been lower than the other four Great Emperors. Although his combat power wasn't bad, he was still unable to take that step and completely surpass the other four Great Emperors. Because that step required forgetting and abandoning love, Xiao Fan couldn't do it.
