Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 663 - 98: The Trial of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires (5 Updates)

"Alas, what a pity! If you were a man, you would truly be an excellent candidate!" That voice lamented.

Mu Qingge’s gaze deepened, and her brows lightly furrowed. She couldn’t help but say, "What of being a man, and what of being a woman? People in the world always belittle women, yet they don’t know that women can also reach the peak of the clouds. For all the countless years you’ve existed, it’s a shame you could say such retrograde words."

Mu Qingge decided to go all out, since the other party had been giving her a hard time, not even willing to give her a chance to try. What was there to hesitate? Everything she wanted to say, everything she wanted to scold, she voiced all at once.

"Is the little one angry?" Yet, even though she was extremely furious, the voice wasn’t angered by her disrespectful words.

"Angry?" Mu Qingge sneered, sarcastically saying, "Perhaps it would be better if you described me as furious."

"You are indeed unique. If it were other women, as cunning as you, they would employ their feminine skills, plead with me bitterly, cajole me into happiness, allowing them to achieve their desire. But you, you disdainfully scold me instead." The voice teased.

Mu Qingge sneered, "If you like such pretentious people, I can only say I’m sorry."

"Little one, you need not be furious. Let me ask you, do you really know what you will face as the master of the Mu Clan? I lament that you are a woman, not because I look down on women, but because the burden of the Mu Clan is truly too heavy; it will be very difficult for a woman to shoulder alone. Furthermore, once this weight is upon you, even if you want to lay it down halfway, it will be impossible. If you have thought it through, I can let you try." The old voice spoke slowly.

Mu Qingge took a deep breath and said calmly, "To be honest, the Mu Clan is still a vague concept to me right now. I don’t know what I will face as I continue, but what I am certain of is, since I have chosen this path, no matter how difficult, I will not give up. Even if Gods and Demons block my path, I will slay them!"

"Good! Such courage, indeed far exceeds ordinary men. Very well, I will let you try, whether you can take away the Divine Strategy Middle Volume depends on yourself." The voice finally compromised.

This brought joy to Mu Qingge’s eyes.

"Little one, do you see the flame on your body? This is called Heart Fire, it tests people’s hearts. The Divine Strategy Middle Volume is primarily for cultivating the Divine Sense, so to obtain the Divine Strategy Middle Volume, you must pass the test of the Heart Fire burning. Let me remind you, this Heart Fire is no ordinary flame, it burns not the body, but the heart. If you cannot withstand it, the final result will be going mad, and the Divine Soul will dissipate! Consider carefully if you want to try." The voice said.

Mu Qingge lowered her eyes, her gaze swept over the flames enveloping her, and she raised a determined smile at the corner of her mouth. "No need to consider, bring it on."

"Good, since this is your choice, I will fulfill it for you."

After the voice finished, Mu Qingge immediately felt the environment around her change, as if she had entered a new space. Surrounding her, those deep blue Heart Flames were still burning, their pale gold tongues of fire constantly flickering.

Mu Qingge stood in place, looking around.

At this moment, that voice descended from the sky, saying to her, "From now on, you’ll face your Heart Demon, a trial of emotions. If you can overcome each one, you will obtain the Divine Strategy Middle Volume."

The voice gradually faded in the emptiness.

Yet before Mu Qingge, several versions of herself suddenly appeared, each wearing a different expression, surrounding her...

Sobs, laughter, terror, anger, worry, longing, sorrow—various emotions emanated from them, constantly infecting her Spiritual Sense, causing her own emotions to sway amid these feelings like a small boat in a storm.

At this moment, Mu Qingge’s heart was repeatedly tormented indescribably by these emotions, tossed back and forth. At times she felt ecstatic, other times inexplicable sorrow, sometimes an anger so intense she wanted to destroy the world, yet at times the longing in her heart poured down like a waterfall, impossible to restrain.

In the Ice Cave, Mu Qingge’s features became twisted and grotesque, the Heart Fire surrounding her burning even hotter.

Not far in front of her, a wisp of smoke coiled down, transforming into a semi-transparent human figure.

This figure appeared valiant and upright, a look of iron-blood between the brows.

"This Heart Fire is not easy to bear. How can physical pain compare to inner torment?" The figure said slowly as it looked at Mu Qingge’s twisted and pained expression, revealing itself as the owner of that old voice.

However, that old voice seemed slightly inconsistent with his current appearance.

His presence, Mu Qingge could not sense.

At this moment, she was already sitting cross-legged on the ground, immersing herself in concentration. The emotions surrounded her, constantly disrupting her, trying to break through her defenses and plunge her completely into the emotional chaos.

’Peace of mind is undisturbed by emotions.’ Mu Qingge silently recited this phrase in her heart, striving to calm her emotions.

Under the burning of Heart Fire, the emotions were unavoidable, they could only be penetrated. Only by penetrating through emotions without being moved by them could one succeed.

Mu Qingge’s complexion gradually calmed down, the voices of the emotions like a breeze passing by her ears, leaving no trace. Joy, anger, worry, longing, sadness, fear, surprise—such emotions trouble everyone, for as long as one is human, there will be times when one is dominated by emotions.

Mu Qingge had very strong self-control; in her previous life as a soldier, what was required was the control of personal emotions, never allowing personal emotions to interfere with work.

In this life, each trial she underwent not only improved her cultivation strength but was also a trial of her spiritual journey.

Gradually, Mu Qingge, enveloped in flames, had her expression return to peace, and there was even a hint of serenity between her brows.

The semi-transparent figure, puzzled, said, "You actually passed through the emotional trial so quickly? Little one, you indeed surprise me! I hope you won’t disappoint me with the coming trial of desires."

Unperturbed by emotions, unfettered by emotions, when Mu Qingge opened her eyes again, the seven versions of ’herself’ surrounding her had vanished.

However, this was not the end.

The emotions receded, replaced by the desires.

"The six desires of man: sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, thought. Speaking of human vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and desire. Such a vague thing, what kind of trial will it be?" Mu Qingge murmured softly.

"Ge’er..."

"Little Ge’er..."

"Qingge..."

"Little Lord..."

"Young Master..."

"Boss..."

"Come over quickly..."

One familiar voice after another appeared in Mu Qingge’s ears. She raised her gaze and saw a scene of paradise, an idyllic place beyond the ordinary world.

In that realm, there seemed to be an ability that relaxed her, causing infinite nostalgia to rise in her heart.

Moreover, standing there were those she held dearly, people who meant the most to her.

"Grandfather, aunt, Ah Mo, Jiang Li, Yuanyuan,..." and there were her five hundred Dragon Tooth Guards, everyone she cared about appeared there.

The place was beautiful, indescribably so, making one only want to walk in and never wish to leave.

Also, there was a faint fragrance, making people feel blissfully relaxed.

"Is this real or fake?" Mu Qingge softly asked herself.

Suddenly, she found herself standing up unknowingly, appearing in that world, holding a jug of fine wine in her hand.

The aroma of the wine, with just a gentle sniff, could make one three parts drunk.

"Excellent wine!" Mu Qingge couldn’t help but exclaim.

She looked around, a scene of tranquility and peace, making her feel comfortable.

"Little Ge’er, come here."

Suddenly, Si Mo’s voice reached her, causing her spine to freeze. She turned to look at him. Within reach, stood the love of her life, his exceptionally handsome face with a gentle smile, warm and endearing.

"Ah Mo?" Mu Qingge called out incredulously.

Si Mo extended his hand to her, "Come."

This voice, as if imbued with magic power, prompted her to walk over involuntarily, placing her hand in his outstretched palm.

Warm!

The real sensation confused Mu Qingge even further.

She seemed to forget what she was doing, a voice constantly telling her that everything before her was real. Whenever she tried to remember why she had come here, it felt like she indeed belonged here.

"Little Ge’er, did you miss me?" Si Mo’s slender fingers brushed her cheek, lightly lifting her chin, raising her face slightly.

She gazed at him, his features so clear, so undeniably genuine.

"Yes." Loyal to her heart, she gave the answer.

Si Mo showed a captivating smile and embraced her. In an incredibly gentle tone, he said to her, "I missed you too, so much. Let us never be apart again, shall we?"

"Alright." Mu Qingge nodded.

Being with Si Mo forever, wasn’t that one of her driving forces to keep moving forward?

At this moment, she seemed to have fulfilled her wish, that feeling of things falling into place naturally, she couldn’t reject.

"Little Ge’er..." Within Si Mo’s amber eyes, reflected a captivating sparkle. He slowly lowered his head and kissed Mu Qingge’s enticing red lips.

In the Ice Cave, the translucent figure watched Mu Qingge’s serene and comfortable expression, yet couldn’t help but frown slightly. He murmured softly, "Little one, won’t you be trapped in the Six Desires unable to escape? You must know, these Six Desires refer to your own desires. The more you want something in your heart, the more these things will trap you. If you can’t see through them, you might be lost in it for a lifetime."

After speaking, he sighed lightly.

His eyes showed faint sorrow, as if recalling some past event. He muttered, "Easier said than done, are the Seven Emotions and Six Desires particularly easy to overcome? Mu Xun, Mu Xun, were you not once deeply entangled in them yourself too? Had you awakened earlier, you wouldn’t have missed the chance to live and die with your clan, and be left alone for ten thousand years, guarding here."

In his eyes flashed a hint of unabated pain.

No one knew that he guarded here with a heart seeking redemption, only waiting for a glimmer of hope for the Mu Clan.
