31: Chapter 31 Immortal Lord Wen Daoyi of Great Love
After putting the bowl down, Su Yi looked at Wen Daoyi, who was dressed in green robes and had a cold, aloof appearance.
Under the dim yellow candlelight, she looked just like a first love that only existed in a young man's dreams.
Su Yi's peach-blossom eyes looked earnestly at Wen Daoyi as he asked: "Why do you have such a question?"
Why did she have this question?
Naturally, it was for that childhood sweetheart of a lover!
Su Yi, who was intimately familiar with the storyline of the long-legged mature beauty before him, understood perfectly well why she was asking him this question.
In the storyline of immortal path, the Wen Daoyi before him had a childhood sweetheart who lacked the Aptitude for Cultivation.
Yet, this childhood sweetheart had gradually drifted away from Wen Daoyi because he could not Cultivate.
But suddenly one day, this childhood sweetheart of Wen Daoyi appeared outside the mountain gate of the Luoxia Immortal Sect!
And the childhood sweetheart who originally could not Cultivate was now able to!
Although his Aptitude was still mediocre, he had indeed reached the 8th Level of Qi Refining!
He had come to the Luoxia Immortal Sect on this trip specifically to rekindle his past relationship with Wen Daoyi!
Seeing such a change in her childhood sweetheart, Wen Daoyi was naturally overjoyed.
Wen Daoyi, who was already an Inner Sect Disciple, begged the Sect Elders to allow her childhood sweetheart to stay and Cultivate in the Outer Sect.
As the owner of a mutated Ice Spiritual Root, it was a request from a Prodigy carrying the future of the Luoxia Immortal Sect.
Although it went against the Sect rules, after consulting with the Sect Master, the Elders specially approved for Wen Daoyi's childhood sweetheart to temporarily reside in the Outer Sect.
And Wen Daoyi was indeed good to her childhood sweetheart.
Wen Daoyi gave all of her own Cultivation resources to this childhood sweetheart.
But this childhood sweetheart always kept asking Wen Daoyi about matters inside the Luoxia Immortal Sect.
Wen Daoyi originally thought he yearned for the inner scenery of the Immortal Sect, so she told him everything she knew without reservation.
Eventually, one day, this childhood sweetheart led the Evil Path Shura Horde to incite a hundred ghosts to march at night, breaking into the Luoxia Immortal Sect in an attempt to forcibly occupy the Luoxia Grotto-Heaven.
If not for the Sect Master resisting with their life, I'm afraid the Luoxia Immortal Sect would have been destroyed without even needing Gu Wanquan to intervene!
During this Sect crisis, Wen Daoyi was backstabbed by her childhood sweetheart, who poisoned her and dragged her back to the Evil Path Shura Ghost Gate.
And this childhood sweetheart completely exposed his true purpose: he was after Wen Daoyi's one-in-a-ten-thousand mutated Ice Spiritual Root!
Because he could not Cultivate, this childhood sweetheart had fallen into the Evil Path, digging out others' Spiritual Roots to Cultivate!
Mediocre Spiritual Roots could not satisfy his desires, so he set his sights on Wen Daoyi.
Knowing all this, Wen Daoyi's heart turned to ash. Knowing she had committed a grave sin against the Sect, Wen Daoyi chose to self-detonate so that her Ice Spiritual Root would not fall into another's hands!
But Wen Daoyi's self-detonation led her to find life in death.
That Ice Spiritual Root, which countless Cultivators dreamed of, was merely a fake Spiritual Root suppressing her true one!
And her true Spiritual Root was the Yin Spiritual Root, one of the two great Spiritual Roots that only existed in the records of immortal path—the Yin and Yang Spiritual Roots!
And when Wen Daoyi appeared again, she was the villain BOSS, the Great Love Immortal Lord, holding the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and seeking to refine all living things in heaven and earth, establishing another Luoxia Immortal Sect within the Ghost Path!
In the end, she perished together with Shi Buran, the Buddha of the Zen Sect.
And Wen Daoyi's life story was jokingly referred to by players as "Great Love Immortal Lord!"
If you say she's crazy, she was also a victim, but if you say she's not crazy, she wanted to refine all living things in heaven and earth to recreate the Luoxia Immortal Sect that had been destroyed for ten years.
It's not scary if a Genius is a love-brain, but it's terrifying if a Genius is a love-brain.
Su Yi briefly reviewed the life story of this famous "Great Love Immortal Lord" of later generations in his mind.
Being able to ask this question now, Wen Daoyi must be worrying about the Cultivation path of her childhood sweetheart.
But what Su Yi didn't understand was why she would ask him. Could it be that his talent was so great that she sought his advice?
Thinking of this, Su Yi felt a bit smug. It seemed he was being regarded as a Prodigy by these Prodigies!
But Wen Daoyi spoke bluntly: "Because Senior Brother Su's Aptitude is mediocre, yet I don't understand why Senior Brother Su can accomplish things that even I cannot!"
"Pfft... Are you f*cking kidding me? You ask for help while stabbing people in the heart?"
Su Yi looked at the bewildered Wen Daoyi before him, his heart skipped a beat, and he asked: "You can see my Aptitude?"
Wen Daoyi nodded, then shook her head, and said in confusion: "I can only vaguely perceive that your Spiritual Root is inferior to anyone else's in this courtyard."
"Damn? Prodigies all have their own tricks? You can even perceive this?" Su Yi tilted his head curiously as he looked at Wen Daoyi.
Thinking of the person before him who possessed the Yin Spiritual Root, the most powerful one recorded in immortal path, it was only normal for her to have some special abilities.
Facing Wen Daoyi's query, Su Yi pondered for a moment and asked: "Since there are no Spiritual Roots, why be so obsessed with Cultivating?"
"Naturally, it is to seek the immortal path and the Dao, to step into the ranks of Cultivators!"
"What is an Immortal? What is the Dao? In this world, even for True Monarchs at the Body Integration or Undergoing Tribulation stages, their lifespan is no more than 200 years. Can they really be considered Immortals?" Su Yi asked, looking calmly at Wen Daoyi.
The game immortal path had no immortality. Even those great Cultivators who could move mountains and fill seas could only live to a maximum of 200 years!
Seeking the immortal path and the Dao but unable to achieve immortality—then what difference was there between a Cultivator and an ordinary person?
That was why the developers of immortal path claimed that everyone could find their second life in the game.
Even if you couldn't Cultivate, you could do business, become an official, or be a farmer.
Everyone had their own things to do; there was no need to be obsessed with a path that didn't belong to them in the first place!
"What is Senior Brother Su trying to say?" Wen Daoyi asked, puzzled.
Su Yi looked at Wen Daoyi and said: "Everyone has their own Dao. If he cannot Cultivate, it just means his Dao is not in Cultivation!"
A clap of thunder rang in Wen Daoyi's ears, but thinking of the pain, sorrow, and self-abandonment of her childhood sweetheart when he learned he could not Cultivate, a trace of reluctance still flashed across Wen Daoyi's cold face.
Wen Daoyi stared blankly at Su Yi, continuing to ask persistently: "Then, Senior Brother Su, can people without Spiritual Roots in this world really not Cultivate?"
Su Yi looked at the still-stubborn Wen Daoyi, sighed, and said: "There is a way. Since there are no Spiritual Roots, then just take someone else's!"
Wen Daoyi's heart skipped a beat, and she frowned, saying: "The method Senior Brother Su speaks of, isn't that the Demonic Path of evil Cultivators?"
Su Yi nodded: "What else could it be?"
"Is there no way for the Righteous Path that doesn't harm the harmony of heaven?" Wen Daoyi asked, unwilling to give up.
Damn it, why is this woman such a love-brain? She won't listen to advice, and she won't actually do anything! She's hopeless. Let her die if she wants to; let her wait to self-detonate in the future! Idiot!
Su Yi felt some anger rising; he ignored Wen Daoyi and turned to leave.
Wen Daoyi's stubborn temper also flared up, and she reached out to grab Su Yi's sleeve.
How could Su Yi, who was already at the 8th Level of Qi Refining, be restrained by Wen Daoyi, who was at the 3rd Level of Qi Refining?
Su Yi backhanded and grabbed Wen Daoyi's wrist, directly lifting her with one hand above her head and pressing her against the door panel.
The cold moonlight shone on them, like a spotlight cast in the dead of night, illuminating them and lengthening their silhouettes.
Wen Daoyi's originally cold face became flustered and embarrassed. She was about to speak but met Su Yi's peach-blossom eyes, which were as calm as a deep pool at that moment.
Those peach-blossom eyes seemed to have some kind of magic, making Wen Daoyi suddenly feel her heart beat faster.
Su Yi looked calmly at Wen Daoyi and said: "If you pursue a result that you yourself don't believe in, when that result truly appears before you, will you believe it?"
