I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 724

Chapter 724: Chapter 273: The Cultivation of Master and Disciple! Picking Up a Wild Daoist Venerable!

Zhu Huai’s wrinkled face twitched slightly, and he whispered, "Venerable, you personally set the rules. Even if you don’t care about rumors, if they reach the disciples’ ears, it might cause a negative impact."

"All disciples of Tianshu Pavilion, should prioritize the Grand Dao, maintain a tranquil heart, and avoid emotional entanglements."

After Ji Hongxiu ascended to the position of Sect Leader, she incorporated this phrase into the sect’s general principles.

Although there were no explicit penalties, and it wasn’t a strict prohibition, over the years, it has been revered by the disciples as a guiding principle and a red line not to be crossed in Tianshu Pavilion.

Yet now, with Ling Ningzhi, the Chief Disciple, taking the lead in breaking this rule, if this spreads, wouldn’t the guideline adhered to for decades become meaningless?

At that time, the entire sect’s atmosphere might be skewed!

"So what?" Ji Hongxiu said calmly, "What do you think should be done?"

Zhu Huai replied solemnly, "In my opinion, Qingxuan should be immediately summoned back to the sect for a thorough investigation! If it’s just a rumor, so be it. But if it is true, she should be confined to Siguoya to reflect and be released only after she has completely severed her thoughts."

"This is also for the sake of Qingxuan’s cultivation!"

"If she remains incorrigibly misguided, she should be stripped of her position as Chief Disciple to maintain the integrity of the sect!"

Ling Ningzhi, with her Innate Taoist Body, advances rapidly in her cultivation, being Tianshu Pavilion’s most outstanding disciple of her generation, but even so, she cannot compare to the heritage of the entire sect!

After all, geniuses are the least lacking in this world!

"Have you ever been in love?" Ji Hongxiu asked suddenly.

?

Zhu Huai was momentarily stunned, "In love?"

This word Ji Hongxiu had heard from Chen Mo, initially she thought nothing of it, but now it seemed quite apt.

’Love’ is the threads of emotions intertwining the heart, ’愛’ signifies actions and accord.

Perhaps, the essence of love is attachment?

"At your age, have you ever truly liked someone?" Ji Hongxiu squinted slightly, "Or rather, is there anyone in this world who loves you and is willing to die for you?"

"Of course not."

Zhu Huai shook his head, saying, "I devoted my heart to the Dao; how could I be swayed by personal emotions?"

Ji Hongxiu questioned, "If you haven’t experienced it, how can you say Qingxuan is wrong?"

Zhu Huai frowned deeply and said, "This is an indisputable fact. What is there to debate? Emotions and desires are like floating clouds obscuring the eyes, the mundane world seemingly a tribulation fire burning the body... This is what you said before. Without severing the emotional threads, how can one achieve the ultimate Dao result?"

"Is what I said necessarily right?"

Ji Hongxiu, with hands behind her back, gazed at the ethereal sea of clouds and said softly, "If severing emotions and extinguishing nature could witness the Grand Dao, then wouldn’t stones have long ascended to immortality?"

Zhu Huai was momentarily stunned.

For a while, not knowing how to counter.

"Not peeking out a window, observing the Heavenly Dao; the further out it goes, the less it knows."

"The closer I get to the origin of the Grand Dao, the more I realize how shallow my understanding of the ’Dao’ is."
