Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 495 The Way of the Seven Emotions, Universal Love

"With everything settled, Brother Rong, would you mind if I were to send a wisp of my divine sense into the divine realm?"

"The divine realm does not allow true gods to enter the divine realm in this way. Only the true body can enter. A trace of divine thought is too weak to be concealed from those gods of the first level or above."

Rong Nianbing rejected Xu Tianxi's suggestion to secretly ascend to the upper realm and monitor Tang San, and asked with a smile:

"I've heard that you'll soon be ascending the throne, my brother. I wonder if you'd like me and a few of your friends to come and congratulate you then?"

"Does the God Realm allow you to come like this?" Xu Tianxi asked with a smile.

"I've come to see the successor, as have the gods of water and fire. The other elemental gods are just here to watch the show; they just happened to stumble upon your coronation day."

Rong Nianbing spoke in a very serious tone.

"Then thank you all for coming."

Xu Tianxi clasped his hands in a salute, looking pleased.

"Haha, we are all looking forward to the day when you truly enter the realm of gods. The troubles in the realm of gods won't last long."

Rong Nianbing smacked her lips, got up and left.

"There's no need to see me off; we'll meet again someday."

"Goodbye." Xu Tianxi stood up and watched Rong Nianbing's figure disappear into the world in a few flashes.

"So, what exactly did you two talk about? Tell us."

Meng Hongchen, who was standing to the side, had already finished her meal. Her slender hands were folded on the table, supporting her chin, and she looked languid and quiet.

"It's nothing, just some schemes from the divine realm. We'll handle those matters."

Xu Tianxi shook his head, not intending to involve others in the fight against Tang San, at least not now.

Even when Tang San is weak, he is still the Asura God King. Apart from top-tier first-level gods like Rong Nianbing, the gap between him and other first-level gods is enormous, making it difficult for them to fight him.

Meng Hongchen pouted her cute red lips and protested, "Don't underestimate me. I'm not laughing at that good-for-nothing guy. I am a true god now, and my cultivation will not slow down for decades to come."

"There's nothing we can do. The cultivation levels of those God-Kings above correspond to levels 150 and above. Even after our Douluo Plane evolved, we still couldn't produce such powerful beings."

Xu Tianxi shook his head. The Abyss arrived 10,000 years earlier than the original timeline. The Douluo Continent was harmed by the Tang family for 10,000 years less, so the speed of ascension was very rapid. The final limit would not be only level 120, but level 125, or even level 130.

Even so, he still couldn't contend with the divine realm. After his cultivation level exceeded 125, he felt the plane subtly suppressing him, so he stopped making things difficult for it and from then on only cultivated in space.

"You want to deal with the God King? Is it Tang San, the Sea God who ascended from Shrek Academy ten thousand years ago?" Meng Hongchen's eyes darted around, locking onto his target.

"It's him. This bastard is a scoundrel who has been absorbing ocean energy for a full ten thousand years. If it weren't for his ability to wreak havoc on the plane, the Douluo plane's upgrade limit would have been even higher."

Xu Tianxi's gaze was somber. Now that he had reached his level, he had a much deeper understanding of the extent of Tang San's harm.

The fact that the Douluo Continent was able to produce both the Angel God and the Sea God, two extremely powerful beings among first-level gods, demonstrates its immense potential and makes it a top-tier existence among the higher planes governed by the God Realm.

Ten thousand years ago, the Douluo plane could easily accommodate the power of the Four Gods' War and the Asura God's position, demonstrating the extraordinary strength of its spatial structure.

However, he now needs to restrain some of his cultivation when traveling in the Douluo plane. The root cause is that the Douluo plane has been ravaged by Tang San. The ocean has been under his control for 10,000 years, and too much energy has been absorbed, which has affected the entire plane.

Otherwise, the Trident of Poseidon could not have been upgraded to a super artifact.

In this era, humanity's exploitation of resources is minimal, so the blame for damaging the dimensional environment cannot be placed on humanity in any way.

Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen immediately felt indignant: "That despicable fellow! I'll definitely let him know how powerful my poison is! Tianxi, do you think we can catch up with that old man after a hundred years of cultivation in the lower realm?"

"I can try to catch up with him, but it will be difficult for you unless the Douluo plane swallows up another plane stronger than the Abyss plane."

Xu Tianxi gazed at the boundless starry sky in the distance. The future was still long, and his journey would not end here.

"What a pity, how come the Crimson Mother has no courage at all? Even with her eldest son dead, she doesn't dare to come and fight us. I even made arrangements with people up there, but you disappeared without a trace with the plane."

Xu Tianxi was quite disappointed, inwardly cursing Crimson Mother for being cowardly.

After he achieved mastery of his cultivation, he repeatedly searched for traces of the Crimson Mother through the residual aura of the Abyss Saint King, but he never found the coordinates of the Crimson Plane.

Unfortunately, at this time, he was the only top-tier fighter on Douluo Star. The Golden and Silver Dragon Kings' strength had not yet reached its peak. He dared not venture alone into the universe to search for his target. The universe was vast, and even a God King could lose his way. If he were trapped in some dangerous place, there would be no one in heaven or on earth to help him.

The Crimson Mother possesses the attribute of destruction and wields two super artifacts. If she can be defeated, not only will the Douluo Continent experience a complete ascension celebration, but her strength will also reach a new level.

"Let's wait a few more decades, until this group of people have fully grown up, until I have the time to deal with you, then I'll go after you."

Having decided to allow the Crimson Dimension to live a little longer, Xu Tianxi turned to inquire about Meng Hongchen's cultivation progress.

"Brother Rong said that you have mastered the power of the seven emotions, but you don't have the same extreme emotions as him?" Xu Tianxi asked. Meng Hongchen nodded, "That's right. It's not difficult to comprehend normal emotions and desires, but the power of the emotional divine position can only unleash its greatest power when emotions are extremely intense."

"My teacher said that only when I comprehend this power will I be able to truly inherit the divine position of emotions."

"Isn't that the Way of Extreme Emotion? That thing is easy to lose control of..."

Meng Hongchen had already explained the principles of the Seven Emotions to Xu Tianxi, and Xu Tianxi had also taught her his own insights into cultivating spiritual power; they were essentially passing on their knowledge to each other.

After a quick calculation, Xu Tianxi frowned slightly. The power of the Extreme Emotion Path was immense. Its essence lay in unleashing the full potential of one's spiritual and soul power through emotional outbursts, leaving no way out for oneself, and even implying a willingness to live towards death.

Huo Qubing's three unique skills involve using the emotion of "love" to drive his spiritual power to erupt recklessly, achieving remarkable results in killing enemies, but he also suffers terrible side effects.

In his calculations, the ultimate form of the Path of Extreme Emotion is a life-or-death combat technique. If a first-level god like Rong Nianbing were to use it, he could definitely drag Tang San down with him. However, Rong Nianbing himself did not seem to have grasped that level.

"By the way, the Path of Extreme Emotion only requires one emotion to control, unlike the Path of the Seven Emotions which is more complicated. Which emotion did you choose to take this path?" Xu Tianxi asked, wanting to offer some guidance.

“The emotion of love,” Meng Hongchen said.

Xu Tianxi's eye twitched: "More specifics?"

"Love for the Hongchen family, love for many people on this continent—perhaps it should be called a desire to protect?"

"Well, it's not a good place to talk here. It's getting dark outside, how about we go somewhere else?"

After Meng Hongchen finished speaking, her delicate body transformed into a rainbow of light invisible to soul masters, soaring into the sky and landing on the eaves of the Star Emperor Hotel.

"You've got a good eye for this place, revisiting it tonight."

Xu Tianxi flashed and appeared around Meng Hongchen, sitting on the edge of the roof with his shoulders level. His gaze was endless and far-reaching, able to take in the Xingluo Square not far away, and even half of Xingluo City.

As night fell, Xingluo City remained bustling with activity. The city was brightly lit, giving it a modern feel, with crowds thronging the streets and the night market as vast as the clouds.

The moonlight, like water, fell upon their faces. Meng Hongchen tilted her head, her slender white fingers supporting her chin, her eyes flashing with light.
"The love for the family is the simplest. Xiao and I have relied on our grandfather since we were little. Grandpa is the best grandfather. It's just that Xiao who often makes Grandpa angry."

"Over the past year, while concealing my cultivation and traveling across the continent to comprehend the seven emotions, I have assumed many identities, including an ordinary staff member of the Heavenly Court, a commoner soul master, and even just a commoner healer who can detoxify."

"I have met many people. Although some of them are not very kind-hearted, most of them are good people. Once they have the energy and desire to move forward, they all radiate a kind of vitality and are happy to help others."

"I've seen an old man who received the opportunity to awaken his martial spirit because of the Heavenly Court, and he stands there like a god all day long. I've met officials who give subsidies and help to newly promoted commoner martial spirit masters. And there are some of the most simple country folk who are amazed that I can detoxify, and they want to give me the medicinal herbs they have treasured for years..."

Meng Hongchen's voice was light and cheerful, with a gentle smile on her lips: "Actually, I don't know how to detoxify. I only know how to control poison and fight poison with poison. But in their eyes, I am a good person, and they are willing to give me their best to thank me."

"Back then, I was walking in the hills of the Douling Empire, and there were some old women who liked to set people up for marriage. Although it was a bit annoying, they still meant well."

"Like those people below, I really like and am very fascinated by it."

"So, I want to protect this existence and don't want their living environment to be destroyed. Perhaps this is what you mean by wanting to integrate with the general public?"

"Pa", "Pa", "Pa"...

Xu Tianxi clapped repeatedly, his brows and face filled with a gentle smile. "Not bad, not bad. Universal love throughout life, that is true love. Perhaps you can make a wish and see the Douluo Continent evolve in a better direction."

Meng Hongchen gently shifted her head and gave Xu Tianxi a deep look. "Is this related to my cultivation?"

"Humans are born with seven emotions and six desires. Why should we force our true feelings? Letting things take their natural course is the best approach. We have plenty of time," Xu Tianxi said, offering his understanding and telling Meng Hongchen not to rush things.

Anyway, Brother Rong Nianbing has been up there for so many years, so what's another eighty or ninety days?

"Well, then let me think about it by myself, okay? Tell me, Xiao, that you will ascend the throne in Mingdu soon, and then I will go back." Meng Hongchen smiled sweetly.

Xu Tianxi glanced at her with some surprise and nodded slightly: "If you need anything, senior, please let me know."

"Ah."

With a soft farewell, Xu Tianxi soared away like a gentle breeze, flying like a dragon towards Tiandou City.

Meng Hongchen's eyes were like two clear lakes, gradually becoming deep and calm; no matter how far Xu Tianxi went, his figure was always reflected in them.

“We’ve all grown up, and we’re all very different from before…” she murmured softly.

The image of the first time I met Xu Tianxi flashed through my mind. Compared to now, Xu Tianxi has become a vigorous young man with a calm demeanor, yet his eyes reveal a composure that remains unchanged even if the sky were to fall or the earth were to collapse.

She, too, was no longer an innocent girl; she had reached an age where she was fully aware of things. Her impression of Xu Tianxi back then was quite different from her impression of him now.

"Perhaps you know, perhaps you don't, but the one I love most deeply is you; the hope of countless ordinary people on the mainland originates from you, and my lifelong path of universal love also originates from you..."

“I will always stick to this path. This is our shared ideal, junior Tianxi.”
