Chapter 419 The Backlash of Love Tribulation
"The seal was broken just as this genius disciple was undergoing his Nascent Soul tribulation. Due to his unstable Dao heart, he failed the tribulation and was severely injured, almost completely destroying his path to immortality. Even Venerable Mingjia was alarmed."

Haoyan shook her head regretfully as she said this.

Yunxi's curiosity grew even stronger after hearing this, and she asked directly:
"Venerable One, what happened to that genius disciple in the end? Just how talented was he? Was that woman he couldn't forget really that good? Even after her death, she could still stir the heart of a cultivator?"

Hao Yan said calmly:
"That genius disciple wanted to find the reincarnation of his beloved, so he eventually switched to the Ghost Path and left the Famous Sword Sect. His talent was comparable to yours. He attempted to break through to the Nascent Soul stage at the age of fifty. If it weren't for this accident, he should have been able to successfully condense his Nascent Soul and become a leading figure of the new generation of the Famous Sword Sect. Unfortunately, fate played a cruel trick on him."

As for what kind of woman his beloved is, I have never met her and cannot make any conclusions, but for someone he can't forget, she must be a very outstanding woman!

Yunxi felt a little sorry after hearing this and sighed:

"Therefore, one should not meet too amazing people when one is young, otherwise all the people one meets in the rest of one's life will be nothing special."

Hao Yan listened to Yun Xi's words, a look of realization flashing in her eyes, along with a hint of curiosity. She smiled and teased:
"Ranxi, I didn't realize you had such profound insights at such a young age."

Yunxi chuckled, taking it as a compliment from Venerable Haoyan.

Before she transmigrated, she was just an ordinary person among mortals, born in an era of information explosion. Even if she had never truly experienced such emotions, she had heard and seen them, so her insights came naturally.

However, Yunxi's almond-shaped eyes shifted, and she said to Venerable Haoyan:
"Your Excellency, don't you find the pattern of how the Famous Sword Sect lost this talented disciple somewhat familiar? It's as if someone deliberately used underhanded tactics to make this talented disciple suffer for love, ultimately leading him to exile himself, thus causing the Famous Sword Sect to lose an elite disciple?"

Hao Yan touched the beads on her wrist and smiled, saying:

“We hadn’t thought of this before, but since you brought up this possibility, the sect has indeed found some interesting things, and I believe the Famous Sword Sect has found the same thing.”

That's why the matter of that disciple became an unspeakable pain for the Famous Sword Sect. It was their neglect of their disciple that ultimately led to the loss of this talented student.

Yunxi nodded in agreement. Veteran Nascent Soul cultivators like Venerable Haoyan must have some skill; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to join forces to cleanse the evil cultivators of the Weiyu Realm a hundred years ago and restore order to the cultivation world.

However, with the support of certain forces, heretical cultivators have shown signs of resurgence, and the task of fighting against them will now fall to this generation of cultivators.

"Your Excellency, now that you know the reason, will the Famous Sword Sect inform that genius disciple?"

Haoyan shook her head and said:
"I don't know, but it will be very difficult. So much time has passed, it's probably impossible to find that disciple again."

Yunxi also felt it was a pity that such a promising talent had fallen like a shooting star; the methods of evil cultivators were truly insidious.

"Venerable One, if that's the case, why does the Famous Sword Sect still require its disciples to undergo 'love tribulations'?"

"Many cultivators in the Famous Sword Sect practice the 'Path of Ruthlessness,' so naturally they all have to go through this trial. However, having learned from the previous experience, they will let the disciples choose whether to seal or retain this memory after they have completed their tribulation of love and returned to the sect."

Even if a disciple fails to overcome the tribulation, their memories will not be forcibly sealed. Instead, they will be taught to let go on their own. If one year isn't enough, try ten; if ten years aren't enough, try a hundred. Time cannot heal emotional wounds completely, but it can allow them to scab over. Only when the mind is at peace can this emotional tribulation be truly overcome.

Some distant images flashed through Hao Yan's mind, and chatting with the little girl today stirred up some of her memories.

Yunxi suddenly sensed a somber atmosphere. Haoyan seemed somewhat saddened. She blinked her almond-shaped eyes, realizing Haoyan also had a story to tell, and then cautiously asked:
"Venerable One, have you also experienced worldly trials?" Hao Yan nodded and said:

"Of course, cultivation is not just about accumulating cultivation level, but also about understanding all things in the world and comprehending the laws of heaven and earth. Once you comprehend them, you can ascend to heaven in broad daylight. Entering the mortal world is just a means. Your master also entered the mortal world to cultivate back then, and after returning, he broke through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage."

At this point, Hao Yan suddenly looked Yun Xi up and down and said:
"With your current cultivation level, you should also enter the world and gain some experience. I heard from Yu Ling that you are already able to construct a 'domain'. I didn't have such strength when I was your age."

"Your Excellency is too kind. Ranxi will mention it to Master after the Five Regions Grand Competition."

"There's no rush. You're a thorn in the side of the evil cultivators right now, so it's best to keep your whereabouts secret."

Yunxi nodded in agreement, but finally couldn't resist her curiosity and asked in a low voice:
"Venerable One, do you know what Master experienced during his trials in the mortal realm?"

Hao Yan's phoenix eyes darted around, and she said with amusement:
"What? Curious? Why don't you ask him yourself? Yu Ling is your master, isn't he?"

Yunxi touched her nose and said:

“Your Excellency, Ranxi cannot imagine what it would be like for Master to undergo the tribulation of love.”

Hao Yan replied with amusement:
"Even I cannot imagine that we disciples of the Haoran Sect enter the mortal world not to overcome the tribulations of love, but simply to experience the joys and sorrows of life, to live a short life in a mortal body, to witness all aspects of life, birth, aging, sickness and death, and to make our Dao heart more stable."

Yunxi understood. It was about going to the grassroots to experience life and then strengthen one's resolve to cultivate immortality. She knew this routine. It was fine to eat delicacies occasionally and then switch to simple porridge and side dishes, but even immortals couldn't stand it if it was like that every day.

She truly understood this. When she was thrown into the mortal realm last time, the surrounding spiritual energy was so thin that there was almost no spiritual energy, which made her feel suffocated. Every cell in her body was screaming to go back. Fortunately, the immortal herb was helpful, otherwise she doubted whether she could have returned to the sect intact.

Yunxi felt relieved once she realized that the worldly experience of the Haoran Sect was different from that of the Mingjian Sect. After all, she wasn't particularly interested in romance and didn't have a romantic mindset. She knew she couldn't bring herself to die for a lover or even give up her lifelong cultivation.

Venerable Haoqing walked slowly into the cabin and, seeing the two chatting happily, casually asked:
"What are you talking about?"

Yunxi immediately stood up and bowed, recounting her previous conversation with True Monarch Shijun. Haoqing burst out laughing:

"Ranxi, you've really hit a nerve with the Famous Swordsmen. Shi Jun didn't draw his sword because your cultivation is higher than his, hahaha!"

Hao Yan rolled her eyes at Hao Qing and said:

"Don't be so gloating. They've also been tricked by evil cultivators."

"They can only blame themselves for insisting on going to the mortal world to find someone to help them overcome their love tribulations. Cultivation is a natural process, but they insisted on interfering, and it backfired on them."

Did they ask those chosen people if they were willing to go through their love tribulations with them? Perhaps their destined partners are already tied to someone else's wrist.

Haoqing genuinely disliked the practices of those cultivators in the Famous Sword Sect who practiced the "Path of Ruthlessness." It wasn't that he had a prejudice against the "Path of Ruthlessness," but simply that he disliked their method of undergoing tribulation.
