“Junior Yin Qingcheng greets the Ultimate Emotion Great Emperor.”
Yin Qingcheng respectfully bowed to the Ultimate Emotion Great Emperor.
The Ultimate Emotion Great Emperor looked at Yin Qingcheng and nodded calmly.
“What’s the matter?”
“I’m a bit confused and would like to seek your guidance, Great Emperor. Is it possible for you to clarify this matter for me?” Yin Qingcheng said.
“Of course!”
Yin Qingcheng pondered her words carefully.
“Great Emperor, you were once a person of the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace and are familiar with its techniques. I have already transitioned from the Forgetful Emotion Dao to the Ultimate Emotion Dao. The heavens can attest to this; it’s the truth. Yet, my husband refuses to believe it. Is there any way to prove this?” Yin Qingcheng asked.
Upon hearing this, the Ultimate Emotion Great Emperor couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
Transitioning from the Forgetful Emotion Dao to the Ultimate Emotion Dao is indeed possible.
However, one cannot return to their youth; a broken mirror cannot be mended.
Even if Lu Ye has lived again, he is no longer the youthful boy filled with emotions but a soul battered and weary, scars from past wounds etched across him.
“Do you know what constitutes Ultimate Emotion?” the Ultimate Emotion Great Emperor asked.
Yin Qingcheng certainly knew.
For her, it was not difficult at all.
“Ultimate Emotion is where the heart points, filled with sincere feelings, where love runs deep, without regrets or grudges, completely entrusting one’s emotions to the beloved person for this life and beyond—never to part!”
The Ultimate Emotion Great Emperor nodded.
“Your understanding is quite profound, but this is meant for others. For you, Ultimate Emotion boils down to just one thing.”
“What is it?”
The Ultimate Emotion Great Emperor uttered two words that made Yin Qingcheng go pale.
“Loyalty!”
Yin Qingcheng couldn’t help but take a step back.
“But I already know I was wrong!” Yin Qingcheng’s emotions surged as she spoke.
“Calm down, calm down…” the Ultimate Emotion Great Emperor hurriedly said.
“I not only understand my mistake, but I am also trying to atone for it. I just want my husband’s forgiveness; is there anything wrong with that?”
“Lu Ye has already forgiven you!” the Ultimate Emotion Great Emperor replied.
“No, he doesn’t see me as a Dao Companion at all right now! What kind of forgiveness is that?”
“If he didn’t forgive you, you would already be dead, right?”
“But that’s not the kind of forgiveness I want! I want to be together with Lu Ye again. I’m still his Dao Companion, not like this—strangers to each other!”
The Ultimate Emotion Great Emperor…
“You didn’t come here to ask for advice, did you? You came here to argue?” the Ultimate Emotion Great Emperor asked.
Yin Qingcheng took a deep breath.
She definitely didn’t come to argue.
“Great Emperor, I want to see what true Ultimate Emotion Dao is.”
Yin Qingcheng was utterly confused.
She didn’t know what she should do or what she wanted now.
All she knew was that she felt lost and was in immense pain.
Hey, you should have said that earlier!
The Ultimate Emotion Great Emperor, thinking she had come for something, replied.
“Fine, then let me show you what true Ultimate Emotion Dao is!”
The Ultimate Emotion Great Emperor lightly formed a seal, and a portal to another space opened.
The earlier battle was fraught with uncertainty, and of course, the Ultimate Emotion Great Emperor wouldn’t allow Wanwan to appear here—her strength was simply too weak.
Now, it was clear Lu Ye was fishing, and he was in complete control.
Ding Wanwan?
“What’s wrong?”
“This junior wanted to see what Ultimate Emotion Dao is, so I had to bring you out,” the Ultimate Emotion Great Emperor said with a smile.
Ding Wanwan couldn’t help but shoot a reproachful glance at the Ultimate Emotion Great Emperor.
She looked at Yin Qingcheng and thought, what a beautiful person, but why does she look so haggard?
Yin Qingcheng stared blankly at this scene.
“What do you mean?”
Ding Wanwan asked, “What’s wrong, Fellow Daoist? Are you in a disagreement with your Dao Companion?”
Yin Qingcheng didn’t want to revisit her past grievances with Lu Ye.
“I just want to see what Ultimate Emotion Dao truly means,” Yin Qingcheng emphasized.
Ding Wanwan looked a bit confused.
“I am his Dao!”
Yin Qingcheng???
In that moment, she understood why Ding Wanwan had looked reproachful after hearing the Ultimate Emotion Great Emperor’s words.
Because it was as if she was blaming him for showing off their affection again.
“Miss, Ultimate Emotion Dao has never been about your cultivation path, but it is about your beloved!”
Step step step…
Yin Qingcheng stumbled back three steps.
Her pupils constricted violently.
At this moment, the Ultimate Emotion Dao she thought was rock solid started to crack in countless places.
She couldn’t believe it.
She couldn’t comprehend.
The Dao was always about cultivating oneself; how could it be about cultivating for others?
Yet, this kind of Ultimate Emotion Dao that focused on others had actually become a Great Emperor.
Ding Wanwan’s few words completely overturned Yin Qingcheng’s understanding.
In a most awkward manner, she hurriedly fled the scene.
The Ultimate Emotion Great Emperor stood next to Ding Wanwan.
“She…”
Ding Wanwan didn’t know what had just happened. Watching Yin Qingcheng flee in disarray, she was at a loss for words.
“I’ll tell you all about their history. It’s quite a tale,” the Ultimate Emotion Great Emperor said cheerfully.
So, the Ultimate Emotion Great Emperor recounted all the grievances between her and Lu Ye.
“So that’s how it is; she doesn’t love Lu Ye!” Ding Wanwan stated with certainty.
“Indeed, she doesn’t love Lu Ye.”
The Ultimate Emotion Great Emperor sighed deeply.
Ultimate Emotion Dao is about shared moments, mutual understanding, and with every day of love, the Dao grows stronger.
If Yin Qingcheng truly loved Lu Ye, she wouldn’t need to ask or search for answers; the Ultimate Emotion Dao would automatically guide her on what true love means.
But right now, Yin Qingcheng still didn’t understand and didn’t know what exactly she thought she loved about Lu Ye.
“When I practiced the Forgetful Emotion Dao, I reached the Celestial Lord Realm in one go, but upon hearing someone was reborn and turned back the clock, my Ultimate Emotion Dao was already telling me deep within the Forgetful Emotion Dao that I would go to any lengths to find you again.”
“Without any hesitation, without any entanglements, because both my heart and my Dao were telling me this is how it should be, it ought to be.”
Ding Wanwan, hearing the Ultimate Emotion Great Emperor’s words, couldn’t help but gently hug her husband’s arm.
“If it were me, I wouldn’t do any worse than you.”
“Impossible, I’m better than you!”
“I’m better than you!”
“I’m better than you!”
“Alright, alright; you’re better than me. That’s settled…”
“You know I chased you back then, right?”
“Yeah, that’s why I say you’re better than me; your taste is better than mine, hahahaha…”
Yin Qingcheng, returning at that moment, saw this scene.
She finally couldn’t hold herself together any longer, and tears streamed down her face.
Because this scene, she and Lu Ye had experienced once, and now it would never come back.
Yin Qingcheng’s feelings of grievance and regret erupted like a flood; she was wrong—she was truly wrong!
She had completely realized her mistake.
Could she ever be forgiven?
