Embers of Sword

Chapter 687 Forgetting Worry
Before the Lord of Forget-Worry Island even spoke, Xie Xuanyi had already guessed the answer.

Yes.

Only a state of mental wandering can explain this situation.

Jiang Miaoyin was in a very calm state. Her face showed no trace of sadness or joy. She was like an ice sculpture, almost lifeless.

If one is caught in a mental tribulation, then one will suffer greatly.

If one breaks free from the tribulations of the heart, the embryonic Dao intent should gradually condense into the Great Dao.

"Actually, daydreaming isn't necessarily a bad thing..."

The Lord of Forget-Worry Island sighed softly and said helplessly, "Only a very few great cultivators and a very few lucky people in this world have the opportunity to touch the mysterious realm of 'Divine Travel'. Even I, after so many years of cultivation, have not had the opportunity to touch the Divine Travel realm."

Cultivators travel through the river of destiny in the form of their spirit and soul.

This is something countless people dream of.

Unfortunately, while this was a great opportunity, it also contained great risks.

Even someone as powerful as Xiaoyaozi could lose his way in his spiritual wandering.

Those who wander in spirit are like fish entering the sea.

While swimming through the long river of destiny, we must eventually return to the "other shore".

The current Jiang Miaoyin is very similar to "Xiaoyaozi"... Her physical body has turned into an ice sculpture, and her soul is gradually becoming empty. If she cannot find an anchor point, she will be completely lost in this spiritual journey.

"Island Master Duan."

Xie Xuanyi was somewhat anxious and asked in a low voice, "In this situation, does Forget-Worry Island still have any way to rescue us?"

"I……"

The Lord of Forget-Worry Island had a complicated expression and said truthfully, "Before my wife left, she only asked me to prepare a dream-entering technique... Logically speaking, this technique can only be used to save someone from a 'heart tribulation'."

This dream-entering technique is called "Forget Worries".

Among the heretical sects, there is a domineering technique that forcibly seizes memories, called "Soul Searching".

This technique of "forgetting worries" is similar to "searching the soul," but it has its own unique and subtle aspects.

Soul searching is the practice where the practitioner forcibly merges their soul into another's divine sea... plundering and stealing memories without regard for the latter's life or death.

Forgetting worries requires much gentleness.

Our souls merged, and we entered the dream together.

In dreams, open your heart and untangle your knots.

Over the years, many "big shots" have paid high prices to have Forget-Worry Island perform this technique to remove "obstacles" and "inner demons" from the young people they have their eye on.

Hundreds of years ago, there was even a Venerable One at the pinnacle of Yin Spirit who, relying on the "Forget Worries" technique, successfully passed the Tribulation of Questioning the Heart, broke through the final threshold, and successfully condensed the Dao to ascend to the mountain peak!

"If I were to use the 'Forget-Worries' technique to enter Jiang Miaoyin's divine sea right now... what would happen?"

Xie Xuanyi took a deep breath and asked seriously.

"I have no idea……"

The Lord of Forget-Worry Island fell silent.

The term "spiritual travel" is too mystical.

Even someone of his level had never touched it.

"Perhaps, your soul will merge with hers... and together you will be immersed in the realm of 'divine journey'."

The Lord of Forget-Worry Island solemnly warned: "Or perhaps, your soul will be immersed in a void, attempting to forcibly merge into someone else's divine sea. Normally, this wouldn't cause any trouble, but in the 'divine journey' state, your soul might be directly erased by the River of Destiny."

The second possibility is by no means an exaggeration.

Some things, once they happen, cannot be undone.

“Young Master Xie, I have been friends with the Sword Palace for many years. I have come here to help you.”

The Lord of Forget-Worry Island took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Jiang Miaoyin is in a trance state. It will be difficult for you to help her with this 'Heart Tribulation'... I cannot use the 'Forget-Worry' technique, as it would harm you."

How many years did the Great Eagle Sword Palace wait before Xie Xuanyi finally arrived?
The Sword Palace of today is no longer at its peak.

Zhao Chunyang was old and nearing his end. After his battle with the Holy Empress, he went into seclusion on Lotus Peak and never saw the world again.

The Master of Laws is getting old; even if he doesn't get involved in karma, how long can he sustain himself?
If something happens to Xie Xuanyi...

Who will shoulder the heavy responsibility of this Sword Palace?

He really doesn't deserve to be called a sinner.

Having said that, the Lord of Forget-Worry Island was about to leave, determined not to get involved in this mess.

But the next moment, Xie Xuanyi grabbed the sleeve of the Lord of Forget-Worry Island.

"Please wait a moment..."

Xie Xuanyi looked at the snow-white cocoon and said solemnly, "Island Master Duan, I want to give it a try."

Before the Lord of Forget-Worry Island could refuse.

Xie Xuanyi immediately said, "I know the importance of this... but if the failure of the 'Forget Worries' technique results in a shock to the soul, then perhaps I can bear it."

His soul is protected by the [Primordial Devouring Holy Realm].

Except for true immortals, no one can harm it in the slightest.

"are you serious???"

The Lord of Forget-Worry Island stared at the young swordsman before him, his face full of astonishment: "You, surnamed Xie... I know you're ruthless, you're reckless when you're in a frenzy! Half a year ago, you risked your life to kill Chongkan in the reed marshes of the North Sea, but some things are not to be joked about! If something were to happen to you, wouldn't Zhao Chunyang beat me to death?!"

"..."

Xie Xuanyi silently gripped the sleeve of the Forget-Worry Island Master, gazing at the large cocoon not far away.

He calmed down for a moment and said seriously, "Island Lord, why don't you use your Divine Soul Technique to test my Divine Sea?"

"You're crazy, but I'm not!"

The Lord of Forget-Worry Island flicked his sleeve and said coldly, "I've entrusted my son to the Sword Palace... If I were to hurt you today, how would Forget-Worry Island survive?"

Say it.

He immediately turned around and was about to leave.

next moment.

The snow in the Ice Soul Cave suddenly became fierce.

……

……

Several miles away, the snow demon, hiding in the shadow of the snow-capped mountain cliffs, suddenly froze, a huge sense of panic rising in its heart for no reason.

Great demons who have cultivated to the Yin Spirit Realm often possess extremely keen awareness within their hearts.

They have a strange connection to a higher level of existence.

Just like today.

Even from a great distance, Snow Demon could sense the "powerful aura" of the Lord of Forget-Worry Island.

Before he even stepped into the Ice Soul Cave.

Then he knew.

A Yang spirit is already nearby.

But at this moment...

It felt as if a heavy drum had been struck in the heart of the snow demon; such a sensation had only occurred once in the past sixty years.

He disregarded his decorum and immediately knelt on the ground, burying his head deep in the snow. Even though he was trembling all over, he dared not lift his head.

It's not just the Ice Soul Cave.

At this moment, the stone tablets left by the sages in each of the thirty-three grotto-heavens tremble slightly.

The powerful demons imprisoned in the forbidden area of ​​Jade Screen Peak all bowed down, banging their heads on the ground to show their fear and respect.

What could cause these great demons to react in this way?

There is only one person.

"..."

The Lord of Forget-Worry Island looked at the tall old man who had appeared in front of him at some point, amidst the wind and snow, with a complicated expression.

In a sense, this was the person he feared most in his life.

none of them.

The lotus robe, a symbol of supreme power, fluttered wildly in the biting snow.

"Xiao Duan."

The old man spoke softly and gently, "Use 'Forget-Me-Not' on him."
