The Supreme Emotion-cutting requires severing all distracting thoughts, worldly sentiments, and vulgar desires, yet it cannot truly cut off humanity.
Therefore, it requires an "anchor" to maintain humanity.
At this moment, Mo Hua’s memory loss blurred his "humanity," teetering on the edge of existence, making it perfectly suitable for the Supreme Emotion-cutting Dao, a method to counterbalance "emotionlessness" by using an anchor to trace memories and reshape humanity.
"Senior Sister..."
Mo Hua habitually recalled Senior Sister’s appearance in his mind.
First, from the beginning, when they met in Tongxian City, she looked so beautiful, like Nuwa crafting with the breeze and moon.
Then, under the grand locust tree, they quietly and gracefully read and cultivated together.
After that, there were the moments of traveling together, enduring the elements.
Later, the separation amidst the vast sea of clouds.
And that fleeting glimpse in the misty clouds...
Mo Hua’s cold and indifferent heart gradually gained a touch of "human" warmth.
He began to continue, recalling his past, remembering many people, many events, his parents, his master, Grandpa Gui, Junior Brother, Senior Sister, childhood playmates, Elder Yu of Tongxian City, Instructor Yan, Master Chen, the neighborhood uncles and aunts...
Also, the numerous people he met and parted with during his travels.
In Qian Learning State Boundary, Elder Master Xun, Aunt Wan, Yu Er, Uncle Gu, the Sect Leader, Elders in the sect, Cheng Mo, Situ, Xiaoxiao, Little Wood... and other Junior Brothers.
As well as in the Taoist Court among various aristocratic families, sects, and loose cultivators from different regions, all kinds of people...
Everyone flashed one by one in Mo Hua’s mind.
In an instant, Mo Hua had an epiphany and suddenly realized.
This is also "all living things."
All living things is not an abstract concept.
His parents, his master, his Junior Brother and Senior Sister, friends and relatives of Tongxian City, old acquaintances in Qian Learning State Boundary, the Sect Leader and Elders of Taixu Gate, Junior Brothers...
The people he encountered along the way, all those who cared for him, helped him, and concerned about him, are all "all living things."
How can such "all living things" be killed?
To save all living things and to kill all living things, how can they be the same? How could they possibly be the same?
Upon this thought, Mo Hua’s Life Chart illuminated, his Taoist Heart restored, the Great Dao he sought was once again anchored, and his Divine Thought became completely clear.
He also retraced his innermost heart.
From confusion, indifference, emotionlessness, and cruel killing intent, he found his initial memories and humanity.
Mo Hua returned to being "Mo Hua."
And at the moment suppressing the Evil Qi and guarding his innermost heart, with his Divine Thought clear, Mo Hua finally saw clearly the true nature of "Evil Qi" in his Life Chart.
This Evil Qi is not purely just Evil Qi.
Or it could be said, Evil Qi is merely the vessel.
Hidden within the Evil Qi are truly fierce ghosts, as deep as an abyss, densely and fiercely terrifying.
These fierce ghosts, all inherently evil and monstrous, full of bloody tears, snarling and howling at Mo Hua.
These are all the vengeful spirits of the Demon Cultivators Mo Hua killed in the Blood Sacrifice Array.
Now they have all transformed into "fierce ghost karmic obstacles," concealed by Evil Qi, lurking within Mo Hua’s Life Chart, constantly cursing, insulting, and ridiculing Mo Hua, stirring up the killing intent in Mo Hua’s heart, leading him astray, into eternal damnation.
And this is also the source of disturbance in Mo Hua’s heart.
Mo Hua’s pupils shrank as he finally understood what exactly the Evil Qi in his Life Chart was.
No wonder...
He just thought it was simply Evil Qi, how could it possibly integrate into his Life Chart and, on the level of cause and effect, corrupt his Taoist Heart.
It turns out Evil Qi is just the surface.
The truly ferocious ghosts transformed from dead Demon Cultivators are the true nature.
Previously, the Evil Qi was too thick, concealing everything.
If not for his forceful use of Divine Thought into sword, arduously slaying a Golden Core, provoking the extreme backlash of Evil Qi, and bringing forth the appearance of karmic fierce ghosts, intending to "avenge" by devouring his memories, and blurring his humanity, thoroughly corrupting his innermost heart.
Otherwise, he would never have comprehended this layer of truth.
"Cause and effect... fierce ghosts..."
Yet, soon, Mo Hua sensed something amiss.
After death, one cannot easily transform into a fierce ghost.
Even if someone does transform into a fierce ghost after death, it cannot be massively "converted," let alone merge with Evil Qi to become karmic obstacles within the Life Chart.
And as the saying goes, there is always a head for unjust claims, a master for debts.
A fierce ghost seeking revenge must know who killed them before they can follow the cause and effect to "avenge" against the "culprit."
The problem is, why do these Demon Cultivators know it was he who killed them?
