Chapter 617 – Netherworld Lotus

Four Seasons City, Dao Arena.

Looking at the white-haired Qin Yu who had a weak aura around him and seemed to be in a despondent daze, Solitary Westgate didn’t feel any contempt or confusion at all. Rather, he was filled with understanding and sympathy.

This was because he was also a person who deeply valued emotions and sentiment. Because his wife and child died in the past, it formed a knot in his heart, leaving his mind unable to reach perfection and take that one final step.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, someone with his level of cultivation should be able to stand above the world and not be trapped by his own feelings. But, there were always some ‘stupid’ people in the world. Even if he knew it was wrong, it wasn’t something he could reason through.

However, whether it was because he appreciated and approved of Qin Yu or whether it was because he needed Qin Yu to revive his wife and child, Solitary Westgate couldn’t watch on helplessly as this depression continued.

After a brief hesitation, Solitary Westgate looked at Qin Yu and said, “Are you disappointed after confronting the Buddhist Nation Sovereign and Nether Domain Master today? Do you think that the so-called supremes of the world are merely mediocre?”

Before there was a response he continued to say, “Qin Yu, the truth is that what you saw was just a representation. The reason I was able to bring you out of that trap so easily is that the Buddhist Nation Sovereign and Nether Domain Master you saw, and me too, aren’t our true bodies.

“Supremes of this world are said to have surpassed the great terror of life and death and are able to live at the same heights as the sun, moon, and stars. We all wish to take another step, rise beyond the Calamity Immoral level, and understand the essence of the Great Dao. Thus, all supremes of the world, except for the past emperors of Great Chu, have merged their bodies with the world to try and understand the source of the Great Dao.

“It is extremely difficult to cultivate an avatar. Once injured, it will even impact one’s main body, causing their cultivation to pause or even fall backwards…this is one of the reasons that the Buddhist Nation Sovereign and Nether Domain Master gave up so easily.”

Lying on the bed, Qin Yu had turned his eyes. Even in his current condition he still had some interest in hearing these highest level secrets of the world.

Solitary Westgate lifted a hand. “But, there is also another reason, and it is also the most important one. It is that the Nineheaven Mirrormoon Palace Master, Shen Yuanyin, didn’t want to kill you.”

Qin Yu turned his head, waiting for the ensuing explanation.

“Reincarnating through samsara does exist, but I have never heard of any inheritance of Nineheaven Mirrormoon Palace that involves this. Moreover, I cultivate a supernatural art that can sense one’s soul aura. When the Nineheaven Mirrormoon Palace Master injured you, she wasn’t unaffected as her appearance would suggest.

Qin Yu’s eyes lit up. “You are saying that…”

Solitary Westgate shook his head. “I cannot determine or guarantee anything. But, I have some information that may help you.

“The highest inheritance art of Nineheaven Mirrormoon Palace is called the Sublime Lost Emotion Code. It is a cultivation method with extremely high requirements for one’s talent. But after successfully cultivating it, it is terrifyingly powerful. Still, there are enormous drawbacks. Those that cultivate the Sublime Lost Emotion Code will gradually lose their connection to the seven emotions and six desires, becoming cold and indifferent. Moreover,
