#777 - The Evil Water Moon Sect
Li Chengfeng's few words struck Cheng Dingxiang like a bolt of divine lightning, instantly causing her unbearable pain.
Everything she had painstakingly pursued, all that she had waited for, ultimately dissolved into nothingness.
It turned out that this man had never truly loved her; he had always been deeply in love with himself. This cruel truth was unacceptable to her.
To obtain Li Chengfeng, she had resorted to various schemes and tricks, even killing Mei Wenxiu and abandoning her former cultivation partner, Qiu Qiang.
However, all her efforts had resulted in such a heartbreaking ending. She felt as if she had been pushed into an abyss, forever unable to advance to a higher realm.
She was only one step away from advancing to the Core Formation stage, but now, everything had become a bubble.
Her hands trembled, her soul roared, and she wanted nothing more than to kill the man before her.
However, Li Chengfeng's eyes were clear as water, completely unmoved.
He simply said to her calmly, "You cultivate the meaning of sorrow and indignation. Aren't you feeling very sad, very grieved, heartbroken right now? Even at this moment, can't you still advance?"
Li Chengfeng didn't try to forcefully change Cheng Dingxiang's fate, but subtly guided her, going with the flow.
He didn't directly point out the crux of the problem, nor did he force Cheng Dingxiang to accept his views, but simply allowed the other party to enter a certain rhythm to test his Minor Destiny Technique.
As expected, with his guidance, Cheng Dingxiang's expression suddenly changed.
Yes, she was indeed very sad, very painful, very distressed.
But she gritted her teeth and said, "But so what? My own sorrow cannot help me advance at all?
Why can you love yourself and allow your own love to help your cultivation go smoothly? That's impossible; it violates the core of the cultivation method."
As she spoke, she was about to attack Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng looked at her intently, and said in an icy tone: "You are hopelessly deluded! Why must all your sorrow be offered to yourself? When I love myself, that love is purer.
So we love each other, I chose love, you chose sorrow.
Your kind of sorrow is not your own true grief, but you only break through when the other party is sad. This is harming others without benefiting yourself, shameless and immoral!"
Li Chengfeng's words were like a flash of lightning, cutting through the fog in Cheng Dingxiang's heart.
She suddenly realized that she had been in a misunderstanding all along.
The grief she pursued was not true grief, but grief built upon the pain of others.
This kind of grief not only couldn't help her advance, but would instead lead her into deeper confusion and pain.
Li Chengfeng stood up, his figure tall and straight, like a pine tree, standing in the wind and rain.
He spoke slowly, his voice low and magnetic: "The Water Moon Sect's Thirteen Techniques each contain their own unique aspects. Each step of cultivation is a tempering of the mind.
Good techniques can lead people to the right path, but at the same time, they can also become a demonic feast, tempting people to destruction.
Those who can survive this test will successfully advance, while those who fail to temper their hearts will surely suffer misfortune.
Your path is already destined to become nourishment for the others in this Water Moon Sect.
The Water Moon Sect's generations of inheritance rely on fresh blood for inspiration. When you die, you will give nourishment to those who come after you, and those who come after you will also turn into nourishment, nourishing the next generation.
Only those Supreme Elders at the top of the pyramid can truly achieve an unparalleled future."
Li Chengfeng's words seemed simple and casual, but each word was like a knife, cutting into Cheng Dingxiang's heart.
She didn't expect Li Chengfeng to say such things, and moreover, each word was precious, making her nod in admiration.
She suddenly felt a mix of grief and indignation, and a Dao rhythm was quietly emerging within her body.
Seeing this, Li Chengfeng smiled faintly and said, "So that's how it is."
Then, he struck out with a palm, which was precisely the Partiality Palm from the Partiality Technique.
This palm was not meant to take her life, but to strike Cheng Dingxiang's soul, making her love for Li Chengfeng even deeper, almost to the point of obsession.
Instantly, Cheng Dingxiang's gaze towards Li Chengfeng became complicated, with a mixture of grief, indignation, love, pain, and a series of other emotions intertwined.
She roared, and the rolling mana in her body actually surged towards Li Chengfeng's body, leaving only her soul to echo in the void: "So that's how it is.
I am ultimately unable to escape my own destiny; I am just a cannon fodder-level character among the thousands of disciples in this Water Moon Sect.
I work hard, comprehend the techniques, but in the end, I'm just making a wedding dress for others. Now, I will fulfill my most beloved person."
After speaking, her figure gradually dissipated, leaving only a faint trace of sorrow and regret lingering in the air.
Li Chengfeng stood there quietly, his gaze deep and complex, as if contemplating something.
Li Chengfeng absorbed all of Cheng Dingxiang's mana, as well as her deep sorrow and indignation.
He immediately felt a special emotion surging in his eyes—heartbreak.
This feeling of heartbreak was as if the person you loved most had died, died in front of you, but you were powerless to save her.
And this emotion is precisely the inducement that easily leads to Qi deviation when cultivating sorrowful techniques.
A person who favors you sacrifices themselves in front of you to fulfill you. This will become a permanent pain in your heart, and it is also where the evil of the technique lies.
However, Li Chengfeng didn't feel any discomfort.
Because the one he loved was always himself.
Although this sounded somewhat selfish, he was single-mindedly devoted to the Dao, only willing to temper himself in the mortal world, but resolutely would not let his heart fall into the mortal world. Thinking of this, his eyes slowly became clear.
At this time, he began to deduce this sorrowful technique. After the woman died, her storage bag and standard magic weapon would be passed on to the next cultivator.
Li Chengfeng absorbed a portion of her mana and insights, while the remaining portion was recovered by the entire Water Moon Sect.
He took Cheng Dingxiang's storage bag and carefully examined the techniques she had cultivated.
In fact, the two of them had been constantly deducing each other's techniques.
The Water Moon Sect was not afraid of you cultivating two or three techniques, but only afraid of you not learning them and instead becoming Qi-deviated.
Because to cultivate the Water Moon Sect's techniques, you must master a special method. Others simply can't do this method; it is only in the hands of the higher-ups.
Therefore, the higher-ups were not afraid of the disciples hindering each other, loving each other, and even encouraged them to have affairs, cheat, die for their loved ones, kill the people they loved, and destroy the people they loved.
In short, this place was full of evil and injustice. They turned a blind eye to the unfairness and infidelity of emotions, and even played with the feelings of those who were single-mindedly devoted to the Dao.
They made them sacrifice themselves for the entire sect, using the seven emotions and six desires as techniques to cultivate, but never truly considered their feelings and future.
