"Desire... I don't know." Long Xiangtian thought about it and really didn't know how to answer, so he could only answer truthfully, but still added: "Senior, what you said is too general."
"Oh? Why is it so vague?" The woman didn't expect that Long Xiangtian would say that. Even if he really didn't know, wouldn't he just make up something to tell her
Hearing Long Xiangtian say that her question was too general, the woman became quite curious. At this moment, she frowned, as if she wanted Long Xiangtian to answer her questions, not like a peerless expert at all.
"Desire is an emotion that people have since birth. This emotion includes many things, such as lust, greed and even the desire to survive. Even you, the senior, are very confused. How can I, a mere Guanli realm master, explain it clearly?" Long Xiangtian also wanted to pass the test, but he did not want to say something against his will to deceive his senior, as this went against Long Xiangtian's original intention.
"You have them all? But I don't understand. I have no desire." Unexpectedly, after hearing Long Xiangtian's words, the woman did not feel angry because Long Xiangtian could not answer her question, but her eyes were filled with deep sadness.
"Impossible, how could senior have no desires?" Long Xiangtian obviously didn't quite believe what the woman said.
After hearing what Long Xiangtian said, the woman's eyes suddenly showed a trace of vicissitudes, and then she said to Long Xiangtian: "Before you, there was another girl who came to see me, but I drove her away when I first saw her. Do you know why?"
Long Xiangtian was stunned for a moment. He only heard what "Yu" said before and knew that a girl had come to see the senior in front of him before, but he didn't know that the senior drove her away as soon as he saw her. Of course, although Long Xiangtian felt that her ultimate trial should have failed, she was still willing to chat with the senior here. After all, Long Xiangtian always felt that the senior in front of him was more like a helpless woman at this time.
Seeing that Long Xiangtian didn't say anything, the woman quietly waited for her explanation, and then said to Long Xiangtian: "It should be because she practiced a special skill - "Empty Purity", just like me."
The woman suddenly stopped talking here, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she continued, "'Empty Purity' is a skill handed down from ancient times. I thought that apart from a woman like me, no one would practice it. I didn't expect that after who knows how many years, I would see that cold little girl again."
Long Xiangtian was also somewhat shocked at this time. It was the first time that she heard of the "Kong Jing" technique. However, according to what her senior said, the senior should have practiced this technique as well. So, this technique must be something extraordinary.
"But those who practice 'Kong Jing' are all miserable people, and perhaps I am one of them." The woman began to talk to herself: "Those who practice 'Kong Jing' have already abandoned all emotions and desires when they have mastered the skills."
"How is this possible?" Long Xiangtian was shocked by the woman's words. He didn't understand how such a strange martial art could exist in the world.
"There are thousands of mysterious techniques in the world, how can you understand them all?"
Long Xiangtian thought about it and felt that what the senior said was right. He could not understand how this magical technique could make a person lose all emotions, just as others could not understand why he could still practice to such a level even though his Dantian was broken.
However, Long Xiangtian was thinking, and suddenly he found something puzzling, and then asked a very profound question: "Then, senior, why did you live in the first place?"
Long Xiangtian also knew that the real predecessor had passed away, and what was talking to him now was just a wisp of obsession, so when he asked, he said "in the beginning".
"Why live?" Long Xiangtian's question seemed very difficult for the woman, and even made her stand there in a daze for a long time. This made Long Xiangtian very helpless, and he didn't understand why the senior was always stunned, but he didn't dare to complain at all, so he had to wait quietly.
What Long Xiangtian didn't know was that this obsession was just a remnant after all. If it wasn't for her deep obsession in her life, this obsession would have long been annihilated in the world. So her memory is very fragmented now, and every time she answers Long Xiangtian's doubts, she has to sort out her thoughts very hard.
"I don't know. I don't know now, and I didn't know before I died. It seems that I exist because I don't know why I live." The woman's words were very difficult to understand, but Long Xiangtian understood them.
What the senior meant was that she had no answer to the question of why she lived when she was alive, and now she has developed an obsession before she dies.
This time, the senior did not stop to calm down, but spoke a lot of words at once: "I have no sexual desire since I was a child because of my practice, so I have never experienced the joy of completing anything, nor the sadness of failure. I am like a fallen leaf, swaying with the wind, slowly falling, without a purpose, and the only thing that can affect me is the passage of time."
"Then why do you still want to practice? Isn't this the desire to become stronger? Why did you fight with others when you were alive? Isn't this the desire for life? Why do you still have that obsession to understand what desire is? Isn't this the desire for knowledge?" For some reason, Long Xiangtian was very dissatisfied after hearing what his predecessor said, and then he questioned his predecessor closely.
Long Xiangtianyue didn't think there were any truly heartless and desireless people in this world. Aren't people living just for these vulgar desires? If there were no desires, what reason would people in this world have to live
Long Xiangtian didn't care that the senior was stunned by his words, and continued to speak to the senior rudely: "I don't know why you would practice this kind of technique that would make people ruthless and desireless, but I think if it were me, I would definitely not make such a choice."
"I have people I love, and people who love me. I have the emotion to protect them, and I also have the desire to have them by my side forever. I like to practice, and I like the feeling of getting stronger, so every time I get stronger I am sincerely happy. This is my desire, and I even enjoy these joys and the sadness mixed in them." As he spoke, Long Xiangtian's tone became more affectionate.
Changing the subject, Long Xiangtian's gaze became like a knife blade, piercing into that trace of obsession: "And you are just deceiving yourself, or this technique is not a technique that can be practiced. You practice it with the intention of becoming stronger, isn't it just a desire?"
