"How should I describe the Grand Desolate Land? It is a bit chaotic, but if it wasn't, it wouldn't be called the Grand Desolate Land."
Gu Qingfeng continued: "In the other side of the Grand Desolate Land, some people became Buddha with a single thought, some fell from Buddha to Devil with a single thought, and some became Immortal Saints. In the eyes of some, the Grand Desolate Land might be hell, but in the eyes of others, it might be heaven. In my opinion, the Grand Desolate Land is definitely a place worth visiting. If you go, you might regret it, but if you don't go, you will definitely regret it."
He raised his cup and continued: "Becoming an immortal takes millions of years. If you haven't even been to the Grand Desolate Land, then what is the point of seeking immortality? Do you still want to ask? Not to mention millions of years, even if you were given millions of years, you still wouldn't know what a single word is. "
Gu Qingfeng's words were powerful and resonant. To Luo Xuan Mingyue, it was as if she had been enlightened, causing her to be greatly moved. She stood there in a daze as if she understood, but at the same time, she became even more confused.
Ancestor Luo Xuan could see that Gu Qingfeng had the intention to teach Luo Xuan Mingyue. However, he was quite worried and whispered: "Little Guy Gu, our Luo Xuan Clan only has one granddaughter with a bright future. Can you not trick her into going to the Grand Desolate Land? My granddaughter is still so young, she doesn't even understand the matters of this world. If you tell her to go to the Grand Desolate Land, isn't that the same as pushing her into a pit of fire?"
"Grandpa, the Grand Desolate Land is not as scary as you think."
"Nonsense! You think I haven't been to the Grand Desolate Land? "
"Oh, I didn't see it."
"Little Guy Gu, don't look down on me. When I was in the Grand Desolate Land, you were still playing with pee in some corner."
"Is that so?"
Gu Qingfeng narrowed his eyes and smiled. He had never looked down on Ancestor Luo Xuan. Not only that, but he was also full of respect for the old man. Moreover, he didn't find it strange at all when the old man said that he had been in the Grand Desolate Land before.
This old man was truly a crippled immortal in name.
The so-called Crippled Immortals were those who had lost their Immortal Spirit and were only left with an immortal body.
As for how Old Ancestor Luo Xuan's Immortal Spirit disappeared, the old man had never mentioned it. However, the fact that the old man was able to live for tens of thousands of years with an empty Immortal Body was enough to show that the old man was extraordinary. Moreover, Gu Qingfeng could see that although the old man only had an Immortal Body, his spirit was unfathomable.
Old Ancestor Luo Xuan seemed to be worried that Gu Qingfeng would trick Luo Xuan Mingyue into going to the Grand Desolate Heavenly Domain. He hurriedly asked Old Eight Luo to bring Luo Xuan Mingyue away.
"Do you really need to do this?"
Gu Qingfeng shook his head and said helplessly, "Do you really plan to let her stay in this world for the rest of her life? She will waste her great future here."
"I know my granddaughter very well." Luo Xuan glared at Gu Qingfeng and said, "You don't need to worry about her."
"Sigh, what a pity, what a pity."
"Alright, you don't have to play tricks with this old man. This old man has seen more tricks than you." Luo Xuan said, "Now that she's gone, it's just the two of us. Just say what you want to say."
"Say? What say? "
"Still playing dumb with this old man?"
"Old Soup Head, what do you want to say?"
"Alright, don't beat around the bush. I know the real reason why you're here today. Perhaps you really want to see me, but … hehe, I'm afraid you want to know more about the True Sense from me, right?"
"Why else would people say that the older the ginger, the spicier it is?"
In fact, Luo Xuan's guess was correct. Gu Qingfeng didn't come just to visit him. He also wanted to ask about his master's True Sense.
"We've talked for so long. You asked about many old friends, but you didn't mention anything about True Sense. I knew you were still thinking about the past." Luo Xuan sighed and said, "But then again, it's been so many years. You still haven't untied the knot in your heart."
Gu Qingfeng raised his cup and drank without saying anything.
"You two are really something. I've lived for so many years, but to be honest, I've never seen a master and disciple like you two. You feel that you've let down Zhen Jue's expectations, and you feel sorry for him. And that old man feels guilty for not educating you well."
Nine years.
It wasn't that long.
But it wasn't that short either.
To Gu Qingfeng, it was the nine years he didn't want to remember the most.
It wasn't because of the humiliation he suffered in the Shang Qing Sect.
It was because Gu Qingfeng had done too many things in those nine years that made him unworthy of his master.
Back then.
He was surrounded by Sengoku and the other leaders of the world. It was because Elder Zhen Sense resisted everyone's pressure and used his reputation to save Gu Qingfeng's life.
Back then.
All the elders and ancestors of the Shang Qing Sect agreed that he must be locked up. It was also because Elder Zhen Sense used his noble status in exchange for Gu Qingfeng's freedom.
Gu Qingfeng knew very well that if it wasn't for his master, he wouldn't be alive today.
In the nine years he spent in the Shang Qing Sect, Zhen Sense never taught him cultivation. He didn't even teach him a single technique or a single skill. The only thing he taught Gu Qingfeng was the principles of being a human.
It was also because of the principles taught to him by his teacher, Zhen Jue, that he did not lose himself in the craziness again and again.
It was also because of these principles that he had brushed shoulders with the Fiendish Demons time and time again.
It was also because of these principles that he was able to be reborn in desperate situations again and again.
At the same time, it was also because of these principles that he was able to maintain his humanity in the cycle of life and death again and again.
Gu Qingfeng benefited immensely from the principles that Zhen Sense taught him. It was only later that he realized that the principles that Zhen Sense taught him were the foundation of humanity.
Unfortunately.
He realized it too late.
It was even more unfortunate that he was too young back then. He was too arrogant and couldn't understand his master's intentions.
As a result, he failed to live up to his master's expectations. Not only did he cause his master to fall from being a world-renowned Immortal Master, to becoming a sinner who aided the evildoers.
He could never forget the disappointment in his master's eyes when he left the Shang Qing Sect.
He also couldn't forget that when he massacred all the major sects, his master crippled his own cultivation as an apology to the world.
He also couldn't forget that when he started a massacre in this world and blood flowed like a river, his master committed suicide as an apology to the world.
What Gu Qingfeng couldn't forget the most was that when he overthrew Sengoku and pointed his sword at the nine heavens, his master knelt down before him.
There were too many things that Gu Qingfeng couldn't forget and couldn't bear to think about. Even now, when he thinks about it, his heart is still filled with complex emotions.
He really wanted to see his master, but he didn't know how to face him.
To put it more accurately, he didn't have the face to see his master.
