Chapter 644: Witnessing Forgetfulness

The Crimson Dust Saint was undoubtedly obsessive.

She didn’t hold the heavens and earth in high regard—not all saints respect and cherish them.

Beings like the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens are rare, very rare indeed!

One reason why the Great Sage can be called “Great” while the Crimson Dust Saint is simply a “Saint” is largely due to this.

The more you compare, the more you can see the greatness of the Great Sage.

In this world, achieving sanctity doesn’t require the approval of the heavens and earth.

The Crimson Dust Saint had long been deeply mired in the past and unable to extricate herself.

“Brother, let me show you what the human world is really like!”

The Crimson Dust Saint waved her hand.

At that moment, a scarlet light surged.

“Stop!”

A roar echoed.

Lu Ye’s figure appeared in this moment in time, putting his all into a Celestial Lord Fist!

A massive fist imprint covered the sky.

A terrifying aura swept across the land.

The Crimson Dust Saint frowned.

With a single palm strike, she shattered the Celestial Lord Fist, reducing Lu Ye to dust.

“Celestial Lord Fist!”

Another furious shout!

The Crimson Dust Saint obliterated it once more.

“Celestial Lord Fist!”

Shatter!

Celestial Lord Fist!

Shatter!

And so, relying on his countless lives, Lu Ye reached the Crimson Dust Saint.

The last of his lives.

“Celestial Lord Fist!”

“Boom!”

The Crimson Dust Saint’s clothes fluttered lightly; this time, all of Lu Ye’s lives perished here.

Lu Hongchen watched this scene, unable to hold back his emotions.

He was just an ordinary person; he believed he could never accomplish such a feat.

To stop Qing’er, this man had died again and again.

It was like trying to stop a moving truck with a praying mantis, or a mayfly shaking a tree.

The Crimson Dust Saint looked at Lu Hongchen.

“Brother, do you think he’s great for being willing to die so many times to stop me?”

Lu Hongchen nodded.

“Yes!”

“But brother didn’t see that within him exists a world. If he burned the entire world to attack me, that would be an effective attack. However, even at the moment of death, he never used the world within him, which means that world is more important to him than his own life.”

“His current charge against me is merely for his own selfish reasons, just as everything I do is for my own desires.”

“He has something more important than life itself; I too possess something even more valuable than life. And I can assure you, mine is far more precious.”

“That’s how the world is—everyone bustling about, all for profit, all for gain.”

Upon hearing these words, Lu Hongchen’s expression flickered for a moment.

“Brother, I want you to see this world!”

At that moment, countless images appeared between the heavens and earth.

Lu Hongchen closed his eyes, his mind connected with the Crimson Dust Saint. Whatever the Crimson Dust Saint could see, he too could perceive.

He was watching all the past events of this world.

Entangled relationships and grievances.

At the same time, he could see everything they had experienced together.

Lu Hongchen found Lu Qing during a year of disaster; back then, she was but five or six years old, dirty and unwilling to let anyone near.

Even so, it couldn’t stop the hungry people.

Lu Hongchen had no idea how much pain that little girl went through. An orphan himself, he took her in and started to treat her like a sister.

They relied on each other; he named the little girl Qing.

Pure and clear.

During that turbulent time, they fought to survive.

It was a hard time, truly finding no food at all.

Lu Hongchen even cut his own flesh to feed her. After she regained some strength, she would scavenge.

They truly gave everything to each other.

From childhood to adulthood.

In such a time, these two unrelated souls struggled to live.

Despite the hardships, they were very happy.

Just like the Crimson Dust Saint said, she couldn’t lose her brother. No matter how good the world is now, it couldn’t compare to the time spent together with her brother.

She knew there was good and evil in the world.

Yet, there would never be another duo like them.

And indeed, just as the Crimson Dust Saint thought.

Those long years with so many grievances and entanglements seemed to pale against their experiences.

But Lu Hongchen knew this was wrong.

He didn’t understand many grand truths, but he did understand that to destroy this world for his own sake was not right.

Everyone has their little selfish desires, but more importantly, many others should possess greater righteousness.

He also reflected on how they suffered back then, yet their hearts were so close.

He needed to find a turning point.

One that would make Lu Qing understand that while their bond was precious, it wasn’t the most precious.

Time ticked away.

Lu Hongchen was searching earnestly.

The Crimson Dust Saint looked at her brother’s profile, her eyes dimming.

It seemed she was starting to understand her brother’s thoughts.

Yet she could not believe that there could truly be a kind of emotion in this world that could move her.

The scarlet light continued to expand.

It was at this moment that someone emerged from beyond the scarlet glow.

He was still spitting blood.

The Dao within him moaned continuously.

Seeing the unstoppable scarlet light, the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord formed seals with his hands, releasing brilliance, standing alone to block the scarlet radiance.

Lu Hongchen also witnessed this scene.

“Why is he still spitting blood?” Lu Hongchen asked the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord.

The Crimson Dust Saint lifted her gaze.

As soon as her eyes fell upon the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord, her expression changed slightly.

Forgetful Emotion Dao…

The Forgetful Emotion Dao that had fallen from the Celestial Lord level…

Anyone who practiced knew well how profound the impact of the Dao was on a person.

That impact was all-encompassing.

The stronger you were, the deeper the influence of the Dao, especially this kind of forgetfulness and indifference, as it was essentially the root of everything.

And now, a Forgetful Emotion Dao at the Celestial Lord level couldn’t even conquer one’s inner heart?

For cultivators, that was simply an impossible event.

“Qing’er, can I take a look at that person?”

The Crimson Dust Saint found it impossible to refuse.

She felt that her bond with her brother was the most precious thing in the world.

Yet seeing such a person, she didn’t dare look—it meant she was scared.

“Qing’er?”

“I don’t believe it!”

The Crimson Dust Saint took a deep breath.

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord was instantly engulfed by the scarlet light.

Just before being submerged, he turned back, looking at a moment in time, his eyes filled with helplessness and regret.

And it was at this moment that all the scarlet light quickly surged towards the moment in time the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord was gazing at.
