Chapter 574: Chapter 515: Take My Extreme Emotion Sword Dao
Accompanied by the emergence of a rainbow glow, a blurred figure slowly appeared within Zhang Yu’s eyes.
A female voice then entered Zhang Yu’s ears.
"Zhang Yu, we meet again."
Looking at the blurred figure, Zhang Yu said in surprise, "You are... the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch?"
Silently in his heart, he thought to himself, "Seems like Wen Wuya’s actions have been discovered. It will probably be even more difficult to contact Azhen in the future."
"The Seven Emotions Divine Monarch came today, probably not to settle scores with me, right?"
"But after all, this is the University City of Wanfa..."
Zhang Yu changed his mind and recalled the scene of the Qiongjiang Divine Monarch crossing the Spirit Realm to descend and engage in a fierce battle with the Ten Thousand Transformations Divine Monarch.
"Even if the Divinity Transformation Divine Monarch doesn’t bring their true body, the aftermath of their fight could bankrupt me."
"Should I quickly call for the Magnetic Pole True Monarch? Seek help from the three Divine Monarchs in the school?"
"But this would completely sour my relationship with the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch, wouldn’t it? Or perhaps I should first listen to what the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch has come for?"
Just as Zhang Yu’s thoughts were chaotically swirling, he heard the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch calmly say, "Zhang Yu, I often hear Bai Zhenzhen mention you."
"Since high school, you’ve aspired to join Hehuan University, haven’t you?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu was momentarily unsure how to respond and eventually could only chuckle awkwardly, "Back in high school, who knew what major was good? Now I just want to work hard in the Artifact Refining Department and deeply delve into the Artifact Refining Path."
The Seven Emotions Divine Monarch didn’t comment on Zhang Yu’s response, only calmly saying, "The Artifact Refining Department is indeed more reliable than the Civil Engineering Department. If you hadn’t transferred to the Artifact Refining Department, I wouldn’t have bothered to come find you today."
Just when Zhang Yu was quietly proud of his identity in the Artifact Refining Department, he heard the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch continue, "Looking at your status in the Artifact Refining Department, the conditions I’m offering you today will be slightly better."
"1000 spirit coins."
"I’ll give you 1000 spirit coins..."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu was initially surprised and then sank, "Could it be that they’re offering me 1000 spirit coins to leave Bai Zhenzhen? Hmph, you’re underestimating me. Even if it’s 1000 spirit coins, I can’t agree..."
The Seven Emotions Divine Monarch’s voice continued, "Within three days, you must arrive at Sky Sword University, live with Bai Zhenzhen, and practice swordsmanship together daily. No matter what she does to you, you cannot resist, and just like that, persist for three months."
As soon as those words were spoken, the number 1000 spirit coins appeared within Zhang Yu’s eyes, as if with just a nod from him, the money would directly be transferred into his account.
Zhang Yu’s heart sank, feeling his mind rapidly shaken.
"1000 spirit coins, and being with Azhen for three months... Isn’t this just giving money away?"
Agree with her! Agree with her! Agree with her!
Zhang Yu felt voices continuously urging him to agree with the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch, which he barely suppressed with reason.
"No, this is too strange."
"Not to mention my sudden departure for 3 months, whether Wanfa University would easily approve, whether the teachers would agree... Who knows what the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch will do once I reach the Heavenly Sword? I can’t entrust my fate to them."
Especially as memories of the Magnetic Pole True Monarch once telling him old stories about the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao, as well as some reports Director Gao sent him about the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch’s successors, surfaced in his mind. Zhang Yu gradually calmed down, suppressing his impulses with rational thought.
Seemingly seeing through Zhang Yu’s state of calm after internal struggle, the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch calmly said, "Looks like you’re reluctant to leave behind your achievements in Wanfa."
"Alright then, I can offer a different condition."
In the midst of speaking, the light and shadows within Zhang Yu’s eyes changed once more, and a manual suddenly appeared.
On the cover of the manual were the four big words: Extreme Emotion Sword Dao.
The Seven Emotions Divine Monarch spoke, "As long as you’re willing to practice the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao and advance to Level 10 within three years, even if you want to establish a Dual Cultivation Department at Wanfa University, invite the Qiongjiang Divine Monarch for dual cultivation, and bring Bai Zhenzhen for triple cultivation, I won’t interfere."
Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback, staring at the four big words "Extreme Emotion Sword Dao" on the cover of the manual, while his mind was incessantly filled with information from reports of killing wives, husbands, fathers, mothers, entire families.
He thought to himself, "Practicing this manual, won’t it turn me into a murderous maniac? Wouldn’t I be waiting for bankruptcy?"
"No, this doesn’t just lead to bankruptcy; it’s about killing one’s own people."
Zhang Yu pondered, "With my skills, if I start killing indiscriminately... How many people I know could fend me off?"
The Seven Emotions Divine Monarch asked, "What? Are you unwilling?"
Zhang Yu slowly said, "I don’t have a certificate."
"I currently only have a certificate in military civil engineering, which can’t register for the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao, right?"
The Seven Emotions Divine Monarch calmly said, "You can secretly practice my Extreme Emotion Sword Dao. As long as no one reports you, what does it matter if you don’t have a certificate? If you can cultivate to Level 10, I will find a way to arrange a supplementary exam for you to get a certificate."
In his heart, Zhang Yu became even more unwilling, as the crime of practicing without a certificate was too great, and he couldn’t bear it. Moreover, this Extreme Emotion Sword Dao seemed to have a risk of losing control, with a considerable chance of exposure during the process.
At this moment, the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch snorted coldly, "You don’t want this, nor do you agree to that, always making excuses... It’s not up to you."
"Catch the sword!"
Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback, and in the next instant, he saw the pages of the secret manual floating from the skull suddenly flip open. The cultivation methods of the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao flashed rapidly before him, deeply imprinting themselves into the depths of Zhang Yu’s mind within moments.
The Seven Emotions Divine Monarch laughed, "I’ve already taught you the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao. With your martial arts aptitude, you’ll quickly learn the swordsmanship within, and even if you want to escape, you won’t be able to. You’re destined to walk this path."
"Just like human emotions, it will naturally take root and sprout in your heart, impossible to kill or extinguish completely."
"The Extreme Emotion Sword Dao is like these emotions, gradually growing and spreading in your heart, beyond your control."
Zhang Yu looked at his Yu Shu, carefully examining the pages recording the cultivation technique, but could not find any record of the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao no matter how he searched.
Inwardly, he wondered, "If, as the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch said, that just now was the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao’s secret manual, then I’ve completely read it, so why hasn’t it appeared in the records of the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao? Could it be..."
Meanwhile, the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch continued to laugh, "Zhang Yu, people say my Extreme Emotion Sword Dao is an evil swordsmanship against worldly ethics, unacceptable to the world."
"But only I know that my Extreme Emotion Sword Dao is the true righteous swordsmanship, except that this Kunxu is bewitched."
In his heart, Zhang Yu thought, "Let’s not even discuss whether your Extreme Emotion Sword Dao is righteous or evil... Judging from the situation with Yu Shu, this Extreme Emotion Sword Dao isn’t complete, is it?"
Zhang Yu wasn’t unfamiliar with the situation where a cultivation technique wasn’t recorded in Yu Shu after viewing it.
From his years of using Yu Shu, he found that the biggest reason for this circumstance was often that the content he saw was incomplete.
"Could the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch’s Extreme Emotion Sword Dao be incomplete?"
"Or did she deliberately pass on an incomplete Extreme Emotion Sword Dao to me?"
Zhang Yu dared not voice his doubts, as he lacked evidence to support his viewpoint. Moreover, if the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch deliberately withheld the complete swordsmanship, pointing it out would only bring him unnecessary trouble.
Then he heard the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch continue, "Since you have learned the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao, I will no longer sever the connection between Bai Zhenzhen and you."
"No, not only that, but from now on you must also speak with Bai Zhenzhen for no less than thirty minutes every day, understand?"
Zhang Yu: "Huh?"
The Seven Emotions Divine Monarch said, "If you fail to do so for a day, you’ll get a warning. If you fail for three days in a month, I’ll expose your cultivation of the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao."
"Believe me, having ’cultivated the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao’ on your resume is not a good thing for many people, especially in the Artifact Refining World."
"You wouldn’t want your teacher, the Magnetic Pole True Monarch, to find out... that you’re secretly cultivating the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao, would you?"
Inwardly, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but silently curse, "Damn... you’re using this as leverage to threaten me, and you still have the audacity to say Extreme Emotion Sword Dao is righteous?"
The next moment, there was a flash of light, and a vision of Bai Zhenzhen appeared.
However, this time it was no longer a recording but a real-time image across the Spirit Realm.
Bai Zhenzhen, looking at Zhang Yu on the other side of the vision, anxiously asked, "Yu Zi, have you cultivated the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao?"
The light laughter of the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch rang out, "He has already learned it. I have already transmitted the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao to him."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhenzhen was filled with anxiety, drenched in sweat, looking at Zhang Yu with deep concern, "Yu Zi, is it true? Have you really learned it?"
The Seven Emotions Divine Monarch laughed, "I’ve reviewed Zhang Yu’s information. With his martial arts talent, I’m afraid he has already mastered Level 1 of the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao at this moment."
"Zhang Yu, how do you feel now? How do you feel now?"
"Isn’t there something erupting in your heart? Don’t you have an impulse to rush to Sky Sword University? Isn’t there some sword qi stirring restlessly within you?"
Feeling Bai Zhenzhen’s concerned gaze and listening to the enticing words of the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch, Zhang Yu felt a bit embarrassed to admit that he hadn’t mastered the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao.
Although all kinds of sword moves and postures had flashed before his eyes intermittently from the beginning, Zhang Yu hadn’t been able to comprehend anything from them.
After all, Zhang Yu had his three no-cultivations rule: incomplete techniques aren’t cultivated, techniques not readable by the Yu Shu aren’t cultivated, and techniques that can’t switch Yu Shu specialization aren’t cultivated.
A cultivation technique like the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao was one he disdained to practice.
Bai Zhenzhen bit her cherry lips, unwilling to admit, "Yu Zi, it was my fault for harming you, for leading you down this Extreme Emotion Evil Path."
All around her, streaks of crimson sword qi erupted, and sword light flowed in her eyes, "Don’t worry, I’ll accelerate my cultivation of the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao. When the time comes, I’ll personally help eradicate the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao cultivation from you."
Remembering how Zhang Yu had risked danger to exchange Spirit Root with her, Bai Zhenzhen clenched her teeth, "From now on, let’s stop contacting each other temporarily. I’m afraid the more you see me, the faster your Extreme Emotion Sword Dao cultivation will grow..."
"No." The Seven Emotions Divine Monarch said coldly, "You not only cannot stop contacting each other, but you must also meet in the Spirit Realm every day."
The sinister laughter of the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch continued to reach the two of them.
"Yes, not only must you meet, but I will also create a private space for you in the Spirit Realm, so you can be together every day! Let you whisper sweet nothings! Let you be inseparable! Let you be passionately entangled! Hahaha..."
