13: The holy land is shaking!

Chapter 13: The Holy Land Trembles!

At this moment, the various Peak Masters and Elders finally understood: Gu Liangyuan was doing all of this intentionally!

But with things said to this extent, what else could they do?

Helpless, they all opened their purses, and the dozen or so people present each gifted a Magic Treasure or a spiritual item.

Among these Magical Artifacts, Profound Rank Magical Artifacts were the most common, with occasional Earth Rank Magical Artifacts.

These Magical Artifacts, let alone for a junior, were a considerable fortune even for an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

Gu Liangyuan said, “How can I accept this?” but his hands didn't stop, accepting everything without refusal.

After collecting all the Magical Artifacts, Gu Liangyuan waved his hand, dismissing them:

“Alright, you can go back.”

“I'll tell the Rites Hall later that the Disciple acceptance ceremony will be held on Forget-Love Peak the day after tomorrow. You don't need to be so extravagant then; just bestow some Magical Artifacts.”

“Huh?”

As soon as Gu Liangyuan spoke, all the Elders' gazes turned towards him.

What did he mean?

Did he want to fleece them again the day after tomorrow?

Gu Liangyuan met the Elders' gazes calmly:

“Why are you all looking at me like that?”

“Junior Martial Uncles, you wouldn't want to be called stingy by the Disciples of the Holy Land at the Disciple acceptance ceremony the day after tomorrow, would you?”

Gu Liangyuan knew that these old guys, every single one of them, were rolling in wealth. These few things were nothing to them. He didn't want to easily miss this opportunity to fleece them.

Everyone also understood the meaning in Gu Liangyuan's words. Today, they had bestowed treasures, and only Gu Liangyuan had seen it.

But if Gu Liangyuan said there was no such thing at the Disciple acceptance ceremony the day after tomorrow, they could only stare blankly.

Although these things were nothing to them, being repeatedly outmaneuvered by Gu Liangyuan made them all feel a bit displeased.

With dark expressions, they bid farewell and departed.

After watching them leave, Gu Liangyuan returned to Forget-Love Hall and found Qianqiu still kneeling there, holding the Forget Love Sutra and reading it.

Gu Liangyuan waved his hand, and a gentle Spiritual Qi lifted her up:

“Silly girl, I didn't tell you to keep kneeling.”

“You didn't even think to stand up and move around when I was gone for so long.”

Qianqiu didn't speak, but hearing the words “silly girl” made her heart stir again. She lowered her head, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Gu Liangyuan communicated with the System in his mind:

“Hehehe, little System, if I bestow the Supreme Forgetfulness Scripture to Qianqiu again, can I still get a refund?”

The System emitted a cold, mechanical voice: “Ding, items refunded by the System will not trigger a critical hit when given to a Disciple again.”

“Little Host, you're trying to exploit my bug again, aren't you!”

Gu Liangyuan clicked his tongue. What a pity.

Looking at Qianqiu, who was lowering her head and exuding an aura of cautiousness.

Gu Liangyuan felt it was necessary to correct Qianqiu's inferiority complex.

You are someone who will become an Empress in the future, you know!

Thinking of the Disciple acceptance ceremony the day after tomorrow, he made up his mind…

Just then, Qianqiu below spoke softly, asking:

“Master… Master, the Forget Love Sutra says, ‘To Cultivate this scripture, one must first Forget Love.’ What does that mean?”

Gu Liangyuan replied casually: “It means to forget your beloved.”

Hearing Gu Liangyuan's words, Qianqiu suddenly looked up at Gu Liangyuan, a look of despair in her eyes:

“Can I not forget?”

“Yes, you can.”

“Huh?”

Qianqiu's sorrowful emotions hadn't even had time to fully express themselves before Gu Liangyuan's “Yes, you can” stifled them back.

Gu Liangyuan waved his hand indifferently:

“The Cultivation of the Forget Love Sutra is different from other Cultivation Techniques. General Cultivation Techniques only enhance cultivation, while the Forget Love Sutra is effective for both cultivation and Divine Sense Cultivation.”

“Moreover, as you deepen your understanding of the words ‘Forgetting Love,’ the speed at which the Forget Love Sutra operates will also increase.”

“There are three methods to Cultivate the Forget Love Dao: first, severing emotions to enter the Dao; second, using emotion to attack emotion; and third, stopping emotion through killing.”

Gu Liangyuan then told Qianqiu the pros and cons of these three methods, and continued:

“The Forget Love Dao will go through three stages. The first is controlling emotions, which requires controlling one's feelings. These three methods are merely methods of controlling emotions.”

“The second is questioning emotions, constantly questioning one's inner self, until one's heart is thoroughly understood.”

“The third is entering emotions, returning to one's true nature, no longer suppressing emotions, experiencing joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, laughing and scolding as one pleases, being truly emotional and spontaneous!”

“With each layer of understanding gained, the Cultivation speed of the Forget Love Sutra will also increase. When one reaches the realm of entering emotions, the Cultivation speed of the Forget Love Sutra will be no weaker than any other Cultivation Technique in the world.”

“The Forget Love Dao is the Dao of Emotion!”

“Otherwise, if one forgets all seven emotions and six desires at the end of Cultivation, they will no longer be human.”

“The Forget Love Sutra is just the basic volume. When you enter the Late Stage of Qi Refining, I will transmit the Supreme Forgetfulness Scripture to you.”

These principles were also understood by Gu Liangyuan after he obtained the Supreme Forgetfulness Scripture.

The deeper he understood, the more he admired the founder of this Cultivation Technique.

Qianqiu felt a sense of relief after hearing Gu Liangyuan speak.

She could choose to stop emotion with emotion, and she wouldn't have to forget her Master. That was truly good.

Suddenly, she thought of something and blinked her eyes:

“Master, what realm have you Cultivated to?”

Gu Liangyuan smiled slightly: “I have naturally understood everything.”

Sorry, I'm cheating!

Admiration flashed in Qianqiu's eyes. Master was so amazing.

Gu Liangyuan quite enjoyed Qianqiu's gaze:

“Go back and rest early. Get enough sleep tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, at the Disciple acceptance ceremony, in front of the entire Holy Land, I will help you Awaken your Spiritual Root!”

“Ah?”

Qianqiu immediately panicked: “Master, I can't…”

Qianqiu's words were cut short by Gu Liangyuan raising his hand:

“I've got this. Don't worry. Go on.”

“Yes, thank you, Master.”

Watching Qianqiu's departing back, Gu Liangyuan's eyes flickered.

What he wanted was for Qianqiu to steal the limelight at this Disciple acceptance ceremony.

Only then could he help her completely regain her confidence!

The next day, Gu Liangyuan chose to stay in the Cultivation room to stabilize his newly Breakthrough cultivation.

What he didn't know was that the entire Supreme Sacred Ground, along with half of the Eastern Continent, had already erupted into a frenzy because of him!

“Shocking! The Legacy of the Supreme Forget Love Dao reappears, the current Peak Master comprehends the Dao overnight, instantly reaching Nascent Soul!”

“Extra! It turns out he, who was once a simp, was actually Cultivating!”

“Oh my god! A twenty-five-year-old Nascent Soul, possibly breaking the Eastern Continent's record for the youngest Nascent Soul!”

Within the Supreme Seven Peaks, many Inner and Outer Sect Disciples gathered in groups of three or five, discussing something:

“Jiang Yingyu, have you heard? Our little Senior Grand-Uncle actually reached Nascent Soul overnight last night!”

“I've heard about it, but isn't this rumor too fake?”

“Yeah, a few days ago, I saw Shishu Zu was only at Foundation Establishment. How could he be Nascent Soul now?”

“What's more, he's still a big simp. For that Meng Yao, he hasn't entered the Cultivation room for three years.”

“Alas, you don't know this, do you? The reason Shishu Zu was so infatuated with Meng Yao was actually to comprehend the Dao.”

“Comprehend the Dao?”

“Yes, the Supreme Forget Love Dao!”

“Simping for three years, enduring the ridicule of the world. One day, he severed emotions, entered the Forget Love Dao, and instantly reached Nascent Soul!”

“Did you hear that tribulation lightning last night? That came from the direction of Forget-Love Peak.”

“Even now, there are still trees on Forget-Love Peak struck down by the tribulation lightning that haven't been dealt with.”
