Chapter 244: It’s All Your Fault!

Yin Qingcheng watched in disbelief as Lu Ye held her lifeless body.

She was dead?

No, that couldn’t be right. She was alive, perfectly fine!

But then again… that body was clearly hers. She had indeed died.

But if she was dead, then who was this living being?

“Lu Ye, I implore the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord, please grant me the means to save her!”

Lu Ye’s booming voice echoed throughout the Forgetful Emotion Immortal Sect.

Kneeling on the cold ground, he held Yin Qingcheng tightly, agony etched on his face.

The roaring sound rang violently in Yin Qingcheng’s ears; the Three-Life River Lord had found her location and was furiously attacking her defensive formation.

Yet, Yin Qingcheng paid her no mind.

Her gaze was fixated, unwavering, on Lu Ye holding her own corpse.

No one responded to Lu Ye.

He remained there, kneeling, as snow fell heavily around him, the world growing desolate.

It seemed as if there were only him and Yin Qingcheng in this vast expanse.

Yin Qingcheng watched this scene with an almost dazed affection, willing this moment to last forever, even as she was merely a corpse.

“Please, Celestial Lord, grant me the means to save her!”

“Please, Celestial Lord, grant me the means to save her!”

“O Celestial Lord, if you don’t speak now, I might just go in myself!”

Radiance flickered to life.

After pleading for so long with no response, a threat got a result.

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord, clad in white, regarded the scene before her with little change in expression.

“Nine Lives, she is indeed a disciple of the Forgetful Emotion Sect, but her cultivation does not share my origins. She is of Ultimate Emotion, I am of Forgetting Emotion. In such a fractured state, only her True Spirit remains; even I cannot help.” The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord sighed.

“Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord, please grant me the law!”

Lu Ye’s expression grew stubborn.

He knew the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord had a way.

“To go against the heavens will incur their wrath. Are you truly set on this?”

Lu Ye nodded.

“As long as I can save her, I will bear the consequences myself!”

Yin Qingcheng listened in horror to their exchange.

No!

What did that mean?

What did it mean that she cultivated Ultimate Emotion?

Hadn’t she always practiced Forgetting Emotion?

Why Ultimate Emotion?

Why was she alive again when she was supposed to be dead?

Why had it turned into the Dao of Forgetting Emotion?

The Three-Life Stone slowly began to fracture, and the Three-Life River Lord roared in madness, relentlessly hammering against the formation, which was on the verge of collapse.

Hold on!

Just hold on a little longer!

Yin Qingcheng’s eyes widened.

“To save her, the first step you must take is to die,” the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord said.

Lu Ye had no hesitation.

“Then I will die!”

In that moment, Lu Ye only wanted to save Yin Qingcheng.

“And then you will endure suffering worse than death.”

“How much worse?”

“If she truly loves you, from Ultimate Emotion to Forgetting Emotion, the Dao can be forged, but that will mean severing ties.”

“But what if she doesn’t love you…”

“What if she doesn’t love me?”

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord remained silent.

What if she didn’t love him? Then they would see how Yin Qingcheng would choose.

His silence sometimes represented a dire situation.

Lu Ye lowered his head and looked tenderly at Yin Qingcheng.

He gently brushed the snow off her hair.

He believed that Yin Qingcheng loved him!

It was a gamble.

If he won, he saved Yin Qingcheng.

If he lost…

Yin Qingcheng wouldn’t let him lose!

“Please, Celestial Lord, teach me!”

…

“Why is this happening?”

Yin Qingcheng was beside herself.

At that moment, her memories seemed to fragment into a thousand pieces.

“Qingcheng, do you remember the Ultimate Emotion Dao?”

“What Ultimate Emotion Dao? Haven’t I always practiced the Dao of Forgetting Emotion?”

“Your memories became chaotic during the process of True Spirit returning to a Soul. Once I become a Saint, I can help you smooth out this chaos.”

“Do you truly feel Ultimate Emotion for me?” Yin Qingcheng inquired.

Lu Ye nodded earnestly.

“Ultimate Emotion!”

“Then can you tell me everything about us?”

“Of course!”

Little by little, he recounted their shared memories.

“Qingcheng, you must remember, my feelings for you are of Ultimate Emotion. Even if you wish to pursue the Dao directly through Forgetting Emotion, it will not hinder your path.”

Yin Qingcheng nodded thoughtfully.

Ultimate Emotion?

Why didn’t she really believe it?

But it didn’t matter; she would ensure Lu Ye felt that way for her.

…

“Boom!”

The formation shattered!

The Three-Life River Lord charged in, eyes bloodshot as she stared at Yin Qingcheng, spotting the ever-fragile Three-Life Stone.

“Wait for me, just wait for me a moment longer…”

Yin Qingcheng, still caught in the Three-Lifetimes Tribulation, fixed her gaze on Lu Ye.

She saw him, holding her and accompanying the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord into reincarnation.

“I’m waiting for you, grandma!”

In the sky above, a vast river descended from the heavens.

The Three-Life River rushed in with an aura capable of erasing everything, bearing down upon Yin Qingcheng.

Yin Qingcheng’s eyes turned crimson as she witnessed Lu Ye self-destruct, his soul shattering.

She saw Lu Ye’s True Spirit joining hands with hers, stepping into the cycle of reincarnation.

Two True Spirits.

In this reincarnation, they had to endure endless cycles before they could become Souls again.

The Three-Life River crashed violently into Yin Qingcheng.

She coughed up a mouthful of blood, and in that instant, the Three-Life Stone completely shattered.

No…

No…

No!!!

Yin Qingcheng’s blood-red eyes turned upward.

The Three-Life River Lord spat out a mouthful of blood, her energy rapidly dwindling. The shattering of the Three-Life Stone had dealt her a grievous blow.

In that moment, Yin Qingcheng was engulfed in unbearable pain.

She realized that she had thought she never gained true love, that it was elsewhere, with other women sharing Lu Ye’s affection.

But now, amidst the Three-Lifetimes Tribulation, she was stunned to find she had received more than enough love.

This love could enable her to cultivate the **Supreme Emotion Immortal Sutra** to perfection.

And yet…

Now, she was still practicing the **Forgetful Emotion Sutra**, though her Master had initially been astounded by her choice of cultivation.

It wasn’t just that she’d originally practiced the **Supreme Emotion Immortal Sutra**.

“It’s all your fault!”

Yin Qingcheng glared hatefully at the Three-Life River Lord.

Three-Life River Lord???

Wait, you stole my Three-Life Stone, destroyed it, and now you’re blaming me???

“Kill!”

Yin Qingcheng lunged at the Three-Life River Lord in a frenzy.

An epic battle ignited.

In the Three-Lifetimes Tribulation, Lu Ye’s True Spirit, which had been on the verge of reincarnation, reappeared, completely unharmed.

“Thank you, fellow Daoists!”

Lu Ye bowed to the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord and the Reincarnation Celestial Lord.

Both were…

To be honest, at that moment, both the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord and the Reincarnation Celestial Lord were left somewhat dumbfounded.

“Fellow Daoist, what is your true identity?” the Reincarnation Celestial Lord asked in disbelief.

It was evident that the current Reincarnation Celestial Lord was not the one from the Three-Lifetimes Tribulation, but the genuine Reincarnation Celestial Lord.

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord had never encountered something so absurd in his life.

Whose Three-Life Realm was crossed like this?

Directly landing in front of a Celestial Lord?

“My identity is merely a fleeting cloud from the past, unworthy of mention. This tribulation has passed. I will visit again in the future. Farewell!”

This tribulation point.

Lu Ye had made no changes whatsoever.

In his previous life, he had self-destructed for Yin Qingcheng, entering reincarnation alongside her.

He should have completely perished, but with the guidance of the Dao of Forgetting Emotion, they kept meeting, falling in love, reincarnating, and ultimately reviving.

Yet at this moment, Yin Qingcheng’s **Supreme Emotion Immortal Sutra** had transformed into the **Forgetful Emotion Sutra**. Sometimes Lu Ye wondered if it was really worth it?

For the sake of saving someone, he was betting on Yin Qingcheng’s love.

He was the protector, he was the giver; whether this was worth it was a fleeting thought that barely crossed his mind before vanishing.

Yin Qingcheng loved him and trusted him, and that was enough.

If only Yin Qingcheng loved him just a little less…

What would it matter if he forgot love?

Perfected Forgetting Emotion could make him a Celestial Lord.

After becoming a Saint himself…

He thought that everything would turn out alright once he became a Saint.

Unfortunately, human power is finite.

When it came to Yin Qingcheng, Lu Ye didn’t need to do much; merely reproducing their initial scene would be the greatest harm to her.

Still crossing the Three Lifetimes Tribulation?

There was still Chu Ling, and An Li.

Lu Ye reached out, calculating with his fingers.

An Li was nowhere to be found, as if she had never existed in this world.

As for Chu Ling…

She was just someone who had developed a taste for backstabbing, and he had failed to clean up after her.
