Chapter 2624
Yan Aohan asked, "How did you reply?"
"Tell them to gather at the Guardian’s place in three months. By then, they will enter the mortal world with their cultivation and memories sealed. I don’t worry they will collapse those planes." The Immortal Emperor answered.
Yan Aohan nodded. "Give me the list. I will have someone handle it."
The Immortal Emperor handed over the list, then asked, "Why do you care about the cultivation world?"
Yan Aohan said calmly, "My wife’s next mental hurdle is the 'love tribulation' of the cultivation world. I have to manage it."
"It’s a love tribulation? And in the cultivation world? You guys are amazing. Not to mention, the cultivation world is famous for being heartless." The Immortal Emperor said lightly.
"Exactly. Because I realized this back then, I stopped caring about cultivators. I erased my public traces in the cultivation world and stopped visiting."
"You call that avoidance," Zhu Yanyi looked at the Immortal Emperor. "It’s not right for an Immortal Emperor to avoid things."
The Immortal Emperor smiled bitterly. "I don’t want to avoid it, but I don’t cultivate the Dao of Emotion. I can’t do much for them."
"But I remember the Empress cultivates the Dao of Many Emotions," Yan Aohan said directly.
"So whenever I come to the cultivation world, my wife stays away. She says she’s tired of seeing the boring faces of these people." The Immortal Emperor looked helpless.
Zhu Yanyi sighed. "Even the Empress gives up. You can see how deep the heartlessness is in this world."
"Are you really okay being stuck in this cultivation world?" The Immortal Emperor looked at Zhu Yanyi with concern.
Zhu Yanyi waved her hand. "It’s fine. I planned for them to enter the mortal world anyway. Now they are doing it as I asked. After experiencing it, at least some will understand the importance of emotion. If some understand, they will influence others. Slowly, emotions will return. However…"
Zhu Yanyi paused. "What I worry about now is not that. I fear some of them might never return."
Human hearts are different. Human nature has good and evil, even among cultivators. Many cultivators appear good on the surface, but no one knows how much darkness lies within. When these cultivators lose their memories and cultivation to re-enter the mortal world, their true nature will slowly reveal itself.
Why is being human important? Because humans must face countless tribulations. Being human allows one to see the good and evil in people. Being human allows one to taste different storms. Therefore, being human is crucial.
Zhu Yanyi worried that the cultivators she sent to the mortal realm might reveal the ugliness hidden beneath their fake kindness. If they cannot break through their mental barriers, they might never become cultivators again. Of course, if they are content with their current state, they can still enter reincarnation and become ordinary people.
The Immortal Emperor chuckled. "So that’s what you worry about. Don’t worry. The cultivation world has existed for countless years. It cannot remain unchanged. Occasional changes are good for it."
"Exactly." Yan Aohan thought of the corpses in the cave. "The cultivation world needs cleaning. Cultivators often destroy villages for their own gain. My disciple’s Ding Family Village was destroyed like that."
"Cultivators destroyed a village?" The Immortal Emperor’s face turned serious. He didn’t know this. The Immortal Emperor hated it when cultivators bullied mortals.
In the cultivation world, those below the Golden Core stage were like ants. But cultivators and mortals were different classes. Mortals existed in the cultivation world. Their existence was the root of the world’s vitality. Only with mortals could more cultivators understand that not everyone could become a cultivator. Even in the cultivation world, there were high and low statuses. This was a warning.
But considering mortal safety, the Immortal Emperor did not allow cultivators to attack mortals. Daily fights between cultivators were ignored by the Immortal Emperor and Heavenly Dao, as long as they weren’t evil. But if a cultivator attacked ordinary people, he would never allow it.
"Did the Heavenly Dao not notice?" The Immortal Emperor asked.
"I investigated," Yan Aohan said. "That cultivator used a secret technique. It trapped the whole village in a specific space. He destroyed the village without the Heavenly Dao noticing. This way, he could continue being a free cultivator."
The Immortal Emperor’s face darkened. "Who is this person?"
Yan Aohan looked at the Immortal Emperor. "Cheng Pei, come here. Tell the Immortal Emperor what this person looks like."
Ding Cheng Pei’s eyes lit up when she heard the Immortal Emperor would handle it. She described the Daoist’s appearance. Zhu Yanyi quickly sketched a portrait based on Ding Cheng Pei’s words.
Zhu Yanyi showed the sketch to Ding Cheng Pei. "Cheng Pei, look. Is it like this?"
Ding Cheng Pei looked and nodded slightly. "Mother-in-law, it’s exactly like this. But there is a black mole on the left side of his face."
Zhu Yanyi drew a black mole on the left side of the face where Ding Cheng Pei pointed.
"Mother-in-law, you drew it so well. It’s definitely this person." Ding Cheng Pei looked admiring.
Zhu Yanyi smiled and patted Ding Cheng Pei’s head. "This is easy. If you are interested, I will teach you later." She handed the portrait to the Immortal Emperor.
The Immortal Emperor looked at the portrait, closed his eyes, and calculated with his fingers. "One thousand kilometers to the west. If we go there, we can catch him."
Yan Aohan looked at the Immortal Emperor. "You know how to order people around." But he still turned the flying vessel in the direction the Immortal Emperor pointed.
The Immortal Emperor looked at Yan Aohan. "Why don’t you go?"
"Keep dreaming," Yan Aohan sneered. "How can you say that? This is your job as Immortal Emperor. You push it to me. Are you catching the Black Emperor’s bad habits?"
The Immortal Emperor shrugged and sighed. "I can only say it. This really needs me to go. But it would be better to have direct evidence."
Yan Aohan looked at the Immortal Emperor. "Let the vessel fly slowly. In two days, the resentful souls purified in my Earth Book will be ready. They will wake up and testify directly."
The Immortal Emperor thought for a moment. "That makes sense." Then she looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Empress Yan, give me some Meng Po's soup. My wife specifically wants that drink."
