Chapter 334: Seven Emotions and Six Desires Flower
While Yu Nianzhen, Jiang Yue, Li Futian, and Yang Xu were talking in the ancient palace formation, a fight broke out.
"I will eliminate evil for the people." Someone shouted and lightning filled the air.
"With just your little ability?" Another sneered and released black smoke from his body.
"It’s the Thunder God Temple and the Ghost Valley." Yang Xu stated and frowned.
However, before he could say more, another shout resounded.
"Ma Dong, I have long felt you are not pleasing to the eye."
"Hmmph, let’s talk with our fists."
"Tan Fang, you injured my senior sister forty years ago. It’s time to accept my revenge."
"Who told Bai Lian to be so cheap? My only regret is that I didn’t take her life."
"You bastard, you stole my fiancée and killed her when you were done using her. I will kill you today."
"Which one are you? I will kill you like the rest of them."
In the blink of an eye, chaos broke out.
Suddenly, everyone seemed to remember all kinds of small and big grudges they held against those near them.
Even if the grudges were originally small, they were suddenly magnified and no one wanted to tolerate anyone else.
"This..." Jiang Yue muttered and looked outside in shock.
When the cultivators from the Thunder God Temple and Ghost Valley started fighting, no one was surprised.
After all, the Thunder God Temple and Ghost Valley were cats and dogs.
They had never dealt well with each other and always fought when they met.
However, no one expected everyone else to suddenly start fighting.
"It’s not natural." Yu Nianzhen said and Yang Xu nodded.
His brows were creased and he looked around vigilantly.
"It’s the seven emotions and six desires flower." Li Futian said and pointed at an inconspicuous flower growing at the edge of the battlefield.
"It wasn’t there before." Jiang Yue said but his tone hid a little excitement.
The seven emotions and six desires flower was a heaven and earth herb.
Its scent affected people’s emotions and its seeds could be used to control others.
"XiaoYue..." Yu Nianzhen called.
"I know." Jiang Yue answered and his eyes hardened.
The seven emotions and six desires flower was especially suitable for an illusion master.
If he refined the flower, his illusions would reach an unprecedented level.
"I don’t know if it grew naturally or was planted by someone." He wondered.
"It should have grown naturally."
"How do you know?"
"It’s growing next to the clear heart fruit tree." Yu Nianzhen said and then continued.
"The clear heart fruit tree has already produced a clear heart flower which is the extreme opposite of the seven emotions and six desires flower."
"XiaoYue, those two can be your third origin treasures."
"Fortunately, the outside has fallen into confusion. Otherwise, those two would have already been taken."
"The clear heart flower hasn’t opened. Let’s take the two flowers before the clear heart flower opens." Jiang Yue said and Yu Nianzhen nodded.
"You have to be careful not to inhale the scent of the seven emotions and six desires flower. Otherwise, you will also be recruited and end up fighting like the rest." Yang Xu warned.
"Don’t worry master. We will be careful." Jiang Yue assured.
After that, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen made plans and stealthily left the ancient palace and surrounding formations.
[Azhen, I will grab the seven emotions and six desires flower. Hurry and grab the clear heart flower.]
[Alright. Be careful not to get affected.]
[Don’t worry. Be careful too.]
[Alright.]
With that, the two moved.
However, making their way to the two flowers was easier said than done.
Before they were halfway there, a red-eyed cultivator approached Jiang Yue.
"Righteous bastards, I will kill you all." The man shouted.
He held a mace in his right hand and he angrily swung it at Jiang Yue.
"Die for me." He shouted and laughed maniacally.
’The seven emotions and six desires flower is no joke.’ Jiang Yue thought but didn’t take the person to heart.
Before the mace fell on him, a small flame appeared on his right palm.
The flame was black and white and its temperature alternated between extreme heat and extreme cold.
’I will send you on your way.’ Jiang Yue thought and threw the flame.
When the flame touched the person’s body, he let out a blood-curdling scream and his mace fell to the ground.
A moment later, his body turned to ice before falling apart and turning into a cloud of steam.
’You are to blame for your fate.’ Jiang Yue sneered and walked away.
If the person didn’t have a thick aura of evil, Jiang Yue wouldn’t have taken his life.
Unfortunately, the person’s aura showed he was a cultivator who liked to take innocent lives.
In that case, Jiang Yue showed no mercy.
[The power of your primordial yin-yang flame origin is incredible.] Yu Nianzhen praised.
[I should have taken his treasures before I burned him.] Jiang Yue said with some regret in his voice.
[Remember it for next time.]
[Okay.]
[Let’s go before we get entangled again.] Yu Nianzhen said and pulled his husband to walk faster.
[Some people have begun to regain their sense.] Jiang Yue observed as they walked.
[It was only a matter of time.]
The main reason why the seven emotions and six desires flower worked so well was because it caught everyone by surprise.
However, some cultivators had a powerful soul and strong willpower.
After a while, it was only natural they would realise something was wrong and regain some semblance of calm.
Fortunately, the two didn’t encounter any further obstructions and they quickly harvested the two flowers.
[Do you want to return to the ancient palace?] Jiang Yue asked.
[Let’s stay out to gather news.]
[You are right.] Jiang Yue said and nodded.
Since they entered the Nine Treasures secret realm, their group hadn’t interacted with others.
Because of that, they didn’t know what was happening in the secret realm.
[Shall we find a news seller or just eavesdrop?]
[Both I think.]
[I also think so.]
After making that decision, the two stood to the side and waited for the fights to quell.
Now that the seven emotions and six desires flower was no longer there, it was only a matter of time before everyone regained their mind and stopped fighting.
While they were walking, a woman walked over and stopped in front of them.
"Fellow Daoists, it’s been a long time." Meng Zihua said as she looked at the two.
"Fellow Daoist Meng has become more beautiful and powerful." Jiang Yue said.
"I am still lacking compared to the two fellow Daoists."
During the Ice Palace martial contest, she saw Yu Nianzhen’s strength and couldn’t help but be impressed.
This time, she saw Jiang Yue’s flame and was even more convinced about them.
"Two fellow Daoists, I wonder if we can have a word?"
"Fellow Daoist Meng seems to have something on her mind?"
"That’s the case."
"In that case, Azhen and I will not refuse.
With that, the two followed Meng Zihua to her portable cave.
Soon after, they sat across each other with a cup of tea in their hands.
"First is to congratulate the fellow Daoists for surviving the incident at the Ice Palace sect." Meng Zihua said and Jiang Yue laughed.
After so many years in the secret realm, the effect of the disguise pills had ended.
When it did, they talked about taking more pills but finally decided against it.
Originally, they used the disguise pills since they couldn’t deal with the higher realm cultivators outside.
However, now that everyone in the secret realm was at the origin tempering realm, there was no need to hide.
If they developed a habit of hiding, they would find it difficult to confront their troubles when the time came.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist Meng." Jiang Yue said and Meng Zihua smiled before her face turned solemn.
"You should know why I asked you to talk?" She asked.
"Is it about the Death Flower Ascension Front?"
"Two fellow Daoists may not know but members of the Front are gathering outside the ancient forest. Before the origin purifying fruits ripen, they will attack."
When Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen heard that, their faces darkened.
"The origin purifying fruits are very important to the Death Flower Ascension Front and they will fight us with all their strength." Meng Zihua continued and her face turned gloomy.
"Why are they important?" Jiang Yue asked.
At the same time, Yu Nianzhen asked, "Is there something wrong with the transplanted origins?"
"Fellow Daoist Yu has it right. Although transplanting origins can give one a better aptitude and foundation, a cultivator’s origin is a gift from heaven. Even if it is stolen and transplanted, it will never be perfect on the recipient."
"Can an origin-purifying fruit make them perfect?" Jiang Yue asked with a horrified expression.
When Meng Zihua heard the question, she sighed and explained.
