Seeking the Flying Sword Path-Chapter 626 - Severing Emotions

The two stories and Fuxishi’s words gave Qin Yun many ideas.

In fact, his heart had stirred when he saw the Torch Flame Kindling. He vaguely saw the direction he needed to pursuit for the breakthrough of the Great Dao of Man. Being able to see a direction meant that he had already accumulated enough insight. Every moment spent, every action and word of Qin Yun, was implementing the Dao in his heart. The Dao he had in his heart was already very close to the Human Spirit. This was the reason for his stir, allowing him to feel that the breakthrough was at hand.

“Seniors, it seems your insights into the Human Spirit are somewhat different?” asked Qin Yun.

“Everyone’s understanding of the world is different,” said Fuxishi. “There will naturally be differences in the understanding of the Human Spirit.”

Qin Yun nodded slightly and smiled. “Thank you for your advice, Seniors.”

“We were only giving you a little guidance,” said Suirenshi with a smile. “The actual cultivation will depend on you.”

“The Itinerant Immortal tribulations are not easy to transcend. If there’s any help you need from us, feel free to mention it,” said Shennongshi. “All of us are looking forward to the birth of another perfected Great Dao human.”

“I naturally look forward to gaining eternal life after transcending the tribulations.” Qin Yun laughed. “Who would wish to die if they could live? Seniors, I have another matter that needs Meng Fu’s attention.”

“Oh?” Fuxishi looked at Qin Yun.

“It’s a junior of mine that has karmic involvement with Meng Fu. I wish to bring her here to see Meng Fu,” said Qin Yun.

Meng Fu was being punished for his faults.

He had to cultivate for ten thousand years to hone his mind! If Qin Yun wanted to bring his granddaughter to see him, he needed to seek the Three Sovereigns’ permission.

“That’s nothing.” Fuxishi nodded. “Karma needs severing. It will only lead to problems in cultivation if karmic implications continue.”

…

Heavenly realm, Mt. Lightning Roar, Qin Manor.

“Grandfather.” Qin Yuluo looked at Qin Yun’s avatar in front of her.

“My true body is in Fire Cloud Palace. Come over now,” instructed Qin Yun.

“I’m to go to Fire Cloud Palace?” Qin Yuluo was astonished and hesitant. She was worried because Brother Meng was a mighty figure of Fire Cloud Palace.

“Come quick,” ordered Qin Yun.

“Yes.” Qin Yuluo did not dare violate her grandfather’s order.

…

Fire Cloud Palace.

Qin Yuluo cast Major Void Transference and arrived to see Qin Yun standing there to receive her.

“Grandfather.” Qin Yuluo immediately flew over.

“Follow me.” Qin Yun instructed. The cultivators responsible for guarding Fire Cloud Palace did not stop them as Qin Yuluo followed Qin Yun the entire way.

While walking through the massive Fire Cloud Palace, Qin Yuluo felt more perplexed. She asked with a whisper, “Grandfather, why did you want me here in Fire Cloud Palace?”

“To meet someone,” said Qin Yun.

“Meet someone?” Qin Yuluo’s heart quivered as she could not help but guess.

Could it be Brother Meng?

Soon.

Qin Yun brought his granddaughter to spot outside a sealed hall. The doors were tightly shut, but Qin Yun still knocked on one.

“Whoosh.” A Guardian General materialized outside the door. Upon seeing Qin Yun and his granddaughter, he said, “Master has said that he has committed a grave sin and will be reflecting over his deeds. He is to meet no one in the next ten thousand years.”

“Just tell him that Qin Yun wants to meet him,” instructed Qin Yun. “I have already mentioned it to the Three Sovereigns and they have permitted it.”

“You have informed the Three Sovereigns?” The Guardian General was astonished.

He knew that it was the Three Sovereigns who had punished his master.

“I’ll pass the word.” The Guardian General’s ethereal figure shrank inside the hall.

Qin Yuluo asked nervously, “Grandfather, who are we meeting?”

Qin Yun was in no hurry to answer.

“Creak.”

The door finally opened. When Meng Fu heard the name “Qin Yun” and that his entry was permitted by the Three Sovereigns, he did not dare make Qin Yun wait. Sword Immortal Qin was a force to be reckoned in the Three Realms. With the Qingping Sword in hand, he was an existence with the strength of a perfected Great Dao existence. He was able to push the ancient Sagedemon, Nine Phoenix, to the brink of death with just six strikes. Therefore, why would he dare keep the door closed?

“Brother Meng.” Qin Yuluo was alarmed.

“Yuluo.” Meng Fu also looked in astonishment at Qin Yuluo.

“Senior Qin, please enter.” Meng Fu immediately invited them in politely.

Qin Yun walked straight into the hall.

The three took their seats.

Qin Yun looked at Meng Fu as his eyes tore through the heavenly secrets. After figuring out the Seven Stars Great Dao, his ability to see through the heavenly secrets had improved greatly. He could clearly a romantic red line tied tightly to a remnant soul he protected in his Essence Soul. The romantic red line was bound tightly and went deep into his Essence Soul.

“He’s truly a romantic. Furthermore, his mortal wife’s reincarnation is only a remnant soul now? It seems a little chaotic?” Qin Yun shook his head in secret.

He did not have the capacity to pity him.

His trip here was to end the obstruction to his granddaughter’s cultivation.

“Senior Qin, why are you here?” asked Meng Fu with a smile.

“Yuluo.” Qin Yuluo looked at his granddaughter. “You have to know that Meng Fu is a romantic. He still pines for his wife from his mortal days.”

“Wife from his mortal days?” Qin Yuluo was taken aback.

Meng Fu did not make public such saddening matters, so this was the first time Qin Yuluo learned of it.

Qin Yun continued, “It is a love that entwines him deeply into his Essence Soul. It’s unlikely he can forget even if millions of years pass. He will not have his heart stirred by another woman the rest of his life. Meng Fu, am I right?”

Meng Fu smiled ruefully. “Senior Qin, you are truly sharp and wise. It has not only reached deep into my Essence Soul, it has already become an obsession in me. It even allowed Fiend King Boxun control me easily. But… My wife was pulled into his schemes, resulting in her soul becoming chaotic and incomplete. It was my fault. If I had been able to forgot her completely, she would not have suffered this fate.”

Qin Yuluo listened in a daze.

“There are certain things you need to make clear, or it will waste the time of others,” Qin Yun said coldly. He was certain that Meng Fu could tell that Qin Yuluo had feelings for him.

“Yuluo and I met by chance. I did notice her feelings, but was afraid I would hurt her if I spoke directly. I felt that she would slowly understand with time,” said Meng Fu.

“Hmph!”

Qin Yun snorted. “Don’t you know cultivation? Matters of the heart will only cause trouble if not sorted out! As a sword cultivator, if her heart cannot be akin to a sword, there’s no way she can attain the Great Dao!”

People who cultivated in the Sword Dao were decisive.

Matters of the heart impacted cultivation greatly. Qin Yun’s trip here was to sever his granddaughter’s feelings for Meng Fu. The man was obsessed with his wife, so any delay would only make things worse for his granddaughter. It was best to end any emotions she had for him.

The pain would only be temporary.

Severing this unrequited love would only bring benefits to his granddaughter’s cultivation.

Meng Fu was alarmed as he immediately looked at Qin Yuluo and said, “Yuluo, it’s my fault. I only thought that you would slowly understand with time, but I forgot that it would negatively impact your cultivation. It’s my fault.”

“It’s not your fault, Brother Meng.” Qin Yuluo finally spoke. Her smile remained brilliant. “It was only wishful thinking on my part. By the way, what kind of person is she to the point that you have not forgotten her after tens of thousands of years of cultivation?”

“Ah Yan?” Meng Fu’s face suffused a smile as he said softly, “I got to know her in my youth. She was only fifteen back then. She was a gentle woman, looking ordinary in the eyes of others, but the most perfect woman in my eyes. Even after cultivating for tens of thousands of years, everything about her still seems to play before my eyes. It was as though all of that happened yesterday. She has already turned into my life. I know I will never forget her no matter how long I live. I’m willing to live with it even if it has turned into an obsession.”

Qin Yun looked at Meng Fu and sighed secretly.

What infatuation…

Back when his wife was taken away, he had searched the entire world for her. He too could understand Meng Fu’s feelings.

“That’s nice.” Qin Yuluo nodded with a smile. Following that, she looked at Qin Yun. “Grandfather, let’s return.”

“Alright. Let’s go.” Qin Yun got up immediately. He knew he could not do much, but what happened was necessary. It did not benefit anyone if this continued.
