CHAPTER 545: CHAPTER 243 "JIN’AN, WHEN YOU GET OUT, MARRY AUNT RUO~

When time freezes, all things come to a standstill.

The Forget Love Path is not the Way of Time, yet at this moment, inside and outside Xiao Yinruo’s Forget Love Dao Domain, everything seems to halt.

Whether it is Lu Jin’an being protected behind her or Fan Zhouxing sitting on the Lotus Platform, all share the stillness.

Emotion, a single word, traverses through time.

Regarding the Forget Love Path, Xiao Yinruo could be said to be the person of this era who has contemplated it the most. From the moment she joined Qingmiao Palace, she endlessly pondered Supreme Forget Love.

Out of curiosity, out of fondness, out of resonance.

She used Supreme Forget Love as a foundation and Qingmiao Domain as the Great Dao to forge the path of becoming Immortal, achieving Divine Presence.

She had perused the works of Qingmiao Palace’s predecessors and traversed numerous domains, hoping to promote Qingmiao Palace’s influence and advance the borders.

She strived to do her best until now, where once again she finds herself in a tug-of-war with the Northern Spirit Clan.

Xiao Yinruo has always wanted to transcend that heavenly barrier and achieve the Divine Concealment Realm, hidden between heaven and earth, beyond the Life Wheel and Five Elements.

And the form of the Wandao Sect was the ideal realm she yearned for, but she realized she was too persistent.

Just like Lu Jin’an said, the difference between a sect and a domain is significant.

You cannot demand the state of an entire Great Domain to conform to a single sect’s form, because the ’feelings’ between people are different.

To transform the entire Qingmiao Domain into a ’Wandao Sect’ is, in a way, no different from the Heartless Path.

Unbound by the Self’s emotions, unmoved by thoughts, putting down one thought, everything becomes Free, thus achieving Supreme Forget Love.

Heavenly Dao is heartless because it has witnessed all sentient beings.

Supreme Forget Love should align with Heavenly Dao and fulfill worldly responsibilities.

What does it mean to align with Heavenly Dao and fulfill worldly responsibilities?

To see heaven and earth, to see all sentient beings, to see oneself!

What is heaven and earth?

Heaven and earth are rules, yin and yang, cycles of life and death; they are also ever-changing, a renewal with each day, having seen heaven and earth, thus humble.

What are sentient beings?

Sentient beings are demons and spirits, fame and fortune, having seen the appearances of sentient beings, thus tolerant.

What is the self?

The self is a cluster of desires, seven emotions, and six temptations, having seen oneself, felt the Self and the True Self, thus understanding.

Xiao Yinruo has seen heaven and earth, thus achieving Divine Presence; seen sentient beings, yet idealized them; seen herself, yet not the True Self.

By gradually confronting the instincts and desires of the True Self, her strength could thus improve.

Because she no longer idealizes sentient beings, she sees the path to Divine Concealment.

Because of Supreme Forget Love’s not being trapped by emotions, not disturbed in mind, not bound by thoughts, hence Forget Love leads to justice, taking on worldly responsibility, akin to Divine Presence.

And now, seeing heaven and earth, seeing all sentient beings, seeing oneself, hence within this lies true meaning, wanting to distinguish has forgotten words.

A single thought put down, transcending the world.

Xiao Yinruo smiles gently, the still Forget Love Dao Domain before her seems like a painting.

She closes her eyes, recalling a phrase from the Qingmiao Palace’s texts: The saint forgets emotions, the lowest cannot even reach emotions.

Saints cleanse the heart outside of the world, untouched by emotions; the lowest are disturbed by the world.

The world is heaven and earth, are sentient beings.

She was too attached to the ideal in her mind.

She had seen these words, heard others say them, but she never took them to heart.

Wanyu had also said, "If emotion can be self-controlled, what is the use of the heart," but she too did not take it to heart.

Why is she willing to listen to Jin’an?

Because of the True Self, and because of where emotions were placed.

Xiao Yinruo opens her eyes, her peach blossom eyes are so pure, bright, like a mirror reflecting the entire heaven and earth, infinitely rich.

Between opening and closing her eyes, Xiao Yinruo stepped over that heavenly barrier, entering this scene.

The entire Forget Love Dao Domain starts to circulate again, like a babbling brook, nourishing all things, seeing the mountains, rivers, and majestic city fortresses.

Time no longer stands still, as if the entire world of Qingmiao Domain suddenly came to life.

Finally, achieving the Dao, her ’worldly responsibility’ of the Forget Love Path.

This is her world, a world hidden between heaven and earth, beyond the Life Wheel and Five Elements.

In this world, she is the Heavenly Dao.

Divine Concealment.

The sky also seemed to change color, it was just now rolling with gray mist, now clear skies stretch endlessly.

Gray mist is the Five Desires and Six Dusts, clear skies are Forget Love.

Crystal clear raindrops softly drizzled down, Lu Jin’an saw a streak of rainbow at the horizon and also heard Fan Zhouxing’s sudden sharp roar.

Lu Jin’an looked at Xiao Yinruo, dumbfounded and lost in thought.

This is... Divine Concealment?

"How could you break through? How could you suddenly break through? How could you..."

Fan Zhouxing’s voice now became extremely sharp, no longer having the previous calmness, pride, and madness, just like his current mood.

He roared, clearly having laid out plans for so many years, clearly having also killed Kong Wu to obtain the Eternal Life Technique, clearly needing just the last step of possession...

He suddenly recalled a saying: Be cautious to the end as at the beginning, and no affairs shall fail.

If only he had acted right away, or directly captured Lu Jin’an, or perhaps...

Fan Zhouxing’s expression grew increasingly ferocious, with trembling eyes, he raised his right hand.

No, it hasn’t failed yet, there is still room for recovery!

Xiao Yinruo has only just entered Divine Concealment, she cannot possibly master this power so quickly!

As Fan Zhouxing rapidly retreated, his hands quickly formed seals, the Dharma Golden Body behind him directly merged into his body, causing his cultivation to soar instantaneously.

Behind him appeared a Lotus Platform: the Lotus Platform of Emperor Kongwu.

From all around, twelve vines resembling Green Lotus erupted from the ground, each vine bearing an ominous Dharma Golden Body.

Fan Zhouxing stood high above the Sky Dome, his hands forming seals, his body surrounded by Buddha Light as majestic as mountains.
