CHAPTER 1276: CHAPTER 1276: HONG XI’S DECISION

"Yes, this cultivation technique is called the Killing Scripture, and it’s an extremely powerful technique created by a God Emperor in the Divine Realm. That God Emperor is considered one of the top entities in the Divine Realm," Emperor Ye Tian said.

Xu Nian showed a hint of surprise; so this cultivation technique was created by a God Emperor.

No wonder they couldn’t comprehend it.

Although some techniques were also created by God Emperors, there is a vast difference between one God Emperor and another.

Just like his Green Emperor Master, who could create such a peerless cultivation method as the "Dan Sea Species Green Lotus."

Once a God Emperor level powerhouse infuses their understanding of Heaven and Earth Profound Argumentation into a cultivation technique, with their current insight cultivation, it is indeed difficult to understand.

"So, is it impossible for us to cultivate this Killing Scripture?" Xu Nian asked again.

"You can. Not only can you cultivate it, anyone can, even a mortal. Because this Killing Scripture has reached the level of Returning Truth, as long as you enter its threshold, you can successfully cultivate it. However, this Killing Scripture is extremely heavy in slaughter, and cultivating it requires a great sacrifice," Emperor Ye Tian said.

"What sacrifice?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.

"Cut off the seven emotions and six desires, and never have a trace of emotion again," Emperor Ye Tian looked at Xu Nian and said.

Xu Nian was taken aback, not expecting that this Killing Scripture would require such a sacrifice.

If a person has no seven emotions and six desires, what meaning is there even if they cultivate to the highest realm?

Xu Nian was momentarily curious, wondering if Hong Xi would choose to continue cultivating this Killing Scripture after receiving this news.

"Master, then please tell me the method to cultivate the Killing Scripture," Xu Nian said.

"Alright, actually the method is simple. You just need to drip your blood onto the technique, and you will naturally understand the cultivation method. However, once you start cultivating, you must first kill someone; otherwise, your own nature will be consumed by malice, preventing improvement in cultivation, and possibly leading to your own death," Emperor Ye Tian explained.

Xu Nian was shocked. He didn’t expect the Killing Scripture to be so difficult.

Thinking of this, Xu Nian sighed.

He really couldn’t imagine what Hong Xi would become after cultivating such a technique.

"Alright, I’ve said everything that needs to be said. If you have no other questions, then leave. Also, let me remind you, both your Star Axe and Chaos Divine Palace have been exposed. During this Immortal Tournament, there will inevitably be immortals coveting them. If you’re lucky enough to find a strong master who won’t covet your treasures, that’s ideal. If not, you will struggle to make progress in the Immortal Realm in the future," Emperor Ye Tian advised.

"Thank you, Master!" Xu Nian nodded.

Then his soul withdrew from the Chaos Divine Palace.

As his soul returned, Xu Nian reopened his eyes.

"How is it? Have you understood the secrets of this cultivation technique?" Hong Xi eagerly asked, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"I have, but I don’t recommend you cultivate it," Xu Nian replied solemnly.

"Why?" Hong Xi frowned, clearly skeptical.

"This technique is called Killing Scripture. It was created by a very formidable God Emperor from the Divine Realm. While cultivating it, you do gain immense power, but at a great cost," Xu Nian said.

"What cost?" Hong Xi immediately pursued.

"Cutting off the seven emotions and six desires," Xu Nian answered.

"Just that?" Hong Xi responded.

Xu Nian was stunned by Hong Xi’s words.

Could it be that cutting off the seven emotions and six desires is unimportant to her?

"Tell me the cultivation method. If you had experienced my life, you’d understand that the seven emotions and six desires mean nothing to me," Hong Xi said firmly.

Xu Nian looked at Hong Xi’s solitary figure, realizing she had stories unknown to others.

"Are you sure you want to cultivate it?" Xu Nian confirmed again.

"Yes, I want to cultivate it. I want to become stronger. Only by becoming strong enough can I achieve what I want to do," Hong Xi said with determination.

"Alright!" Seeing Hong Xi’s resolve, Xu Nian stopped persuading and believed she had her reasons for making such a choice.

He did not inquire why Hong Xi chose this path.

After all, everyone’s different experiences lead to different choices.

Subsequently, Xu Nian told Hong Xi the method of cultivating the Killing Scripture.

He also informed her about the precautions needed during cultivation.

Upon hearing this, her face showed a hint of surprise.

Does cultivating this technique mean she has to kill someone right after?

So wouldn’t she be unable to cultivate it now?

"Alright, thank you. I’ll find a chance to verify if what you’ve said is true," Hong Xi said.

Currently, she can’t cultivate, as killing is not something she can easily do in Emperor City.

Xu Nian nodded, unsurprised by Hong Xi’s suspicion.

After all, Hong Xi had no reason to fully trust him.

"Take this Wind-breaking Pearl for now. If I find out you’re deceiving me, I will reclaim it," Hong Xi said.

"No problem, but it’s indeed a pity to cut off the seven emotions and six desires from a beautiful woman like you," Xu Nian chuckled.

Hearing this, Hong Xi surprisingly smiled.

"The seven emotions and six desires are too extravagant for me. Rather than not being able to enjoy them, I’d rather sever them completely. If one can live a happy life forever, who would pursue this dreadful path to immortality?" Hong Xi said with a faint smile.

Hearing this, Xu Nian’s smile widened.

Indeed!

A lifetime of happiness as a mortal can be more joyous and worthy than being a cultivator like them.

The path to immortality seems lofty at first, but the sacrifices required along the way are often unbearable.

"I hope you become a killing god that others in the Immortal Realm, or even the Divine Realm, fear upon hearing your name," Xu Nian teased with a smile.

Hong Xi’s smile broadened.

For some reason, she felt comfortable when she was with Xu Nian.

Being with him made her naturally speak her mind.

Yet she had met Xu Nian less than three times.

Of course, she knew nothing could ever happen between her and Xu Nian.

Their relationship wasn’t romantic but one of mutual appreciation as close confidants.

"Be careful next time. In the final battle, if we face each other, I won’t hold back. I hope you won’t either," Hong Xi suddenly challenged.

"Haha, rest assured, I have many beauties by my side. I won’t go soft just seeing a beauty, and I’ll definitely fight with all I have," Xu Nian laughed.

Hong Xi smiled and walked out of Xu Nian’s courtyard.

Xu Nian watched her departing figure, feeling a sudden calmness.
