Chapter 34: Seven Colors of the Seven Emotions, Immortal Venerable Becomes the County Lord
He sat cross-legged and meditated, his mind sinking into his body.
A firm, indestructible, and perfect Golden Core appeared in Cui Heng’s perception.
Although he had not been out of the Beginner’s Space for long, he could clearly feel that the Golden Core had already nurtured a subtle spirituality.
It seemed to be gradually turning from an inanimate object to a living being.
This was thanks to the experiences of the seven emotions he had collected in the past two days.
Cui Heng wanted to summarize the method and direction of experiencing the seven emotions better so that his future cultivation path would be smoother.
Joy. Anger. Grief. Fear. Love. Evil. Desire.
What was the nature of every emotion, what could be done to collect it, and to what extent would it be considered complete?
Cui Heng was lost in thought.
At the same time, his perception enveloped the Golden Core and carefully comprehended the subtle spirituality nurtured on it. Then, he sensed a small ball of seven-colored light.
Red, purple, gray, green, white, black, and yellow.
These lights represented the seven emotions. Red represented joy, purple represented anger, gray represented sorrow, green represented fear, white represented love, black represented evil, and yellow represented desire.
They were of different depths and were not neat.
When Cui Heng sensed the seven colors of the seven emotions, he understood something.
As long as he collected the seven emotions of all living beings, he could increase the depth of the seven lights.
When the seven colored lights grew to seven feet, he would reach the Perfected Golden Core Realm. At that time, he only needed to sit in seclusion for another 49 days before he could give birth to a Nascent Soul and become an extraordinary sage.
The place where the Golden Core was located was like the Grotto-Heaven in the body, a miniature version of the Thousand-Mile Court. The scale was different from the outside world, and it would not be unable to release seven feet of light.
Among the seven-colored lights, the green light that represented fear was the longest. It was already close to 30% of seven feet.
It mainly stemmed from others’ fear of his strength.
Next was the gray that represented grief, which was a little more than a foot long. It was the desperation and plaintive emotions he had gathered in the dungeon.
The red color that represented joy was also present, but it was very short, not even reaching even one feet. It could only be counted as a few centimeters. It was a harvest he’d gained from the Li family’s wedding banquet.
There was also a little of the purple that represented anger and a little of the black that represented evil, but they were less than the red light. It was probably because the anger and disgust people felt for him always quickly turned to fear.
What was more ridiculous was the yellow color of desire. There was actually a little bit as well!
Could it be that he was too handsome and had an outstanding temperament that aroused the desires of some little girls?
There was also the white color that represented love. Although it was called white, it was more like a pure white jade light. It was gentle and elegant, giving off the best feeling.
There was no light of this color at all. Cui Heng had yet to collect the emotions of love.
He could only sense this light through his mind.
“Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, evil, and desire. There was a general method for collecting these six emotions. But regarding love, I don’t have a clue at all,” Cui Heng thought. “Perhaps I can get some ideas when I handle cases as a county magistrate.”
Then, he took out the “Flying Dawn Sword’s Secret Manual” that he had obtained from Monk Hui Shi. After flipping through it slightly, he confirmed that this was the simplified version of the “Immortal Dawn Sword Art”.
However, the original “Immortal Dawn Sword Art” was not divided into martial cultivation realms.
On the other hand, there was a detailed division of the martial cultivation realm in the Flying Dawn Sword’s Secret Manual. It was exactly the same as the martial cultivation realms described by Pei Qingshu and Li Mingqiong.
Form Refining, Internal Nurturing, Qi Sensing, Qi Accumulation, Tendons Transformation, Marrows Purification, Qi Condensation, Qi Transformation, Profound Gate, Xiantian, Inner World.
Qi Transformation experts could be called a Grandmaster, Profound Gate realm experts could be called a Supreme Grandmaster, and experts at the Xiantian Realm could be called a Xiantian Grandmaster. Inner World realm experts were the pinnacle of the martial world and could be said to be invincible.
“There was no Deity Realm, Human Immortals, or Earth Immortals…” Cui Heng’s eyes flickered. He felt that there was something strange about this, but because there was too little information, he could not come to any conclusions.
There was something else that surprised him.
From the description of this secret manual, the stage of “Inner World” seemed to be only equivalent to the Sixth level of Qi Refinement.
It was far from his previous estimation of the Eighth level of Qi Refinement.
“Could it be that Divine Treasure is a relatively broad realm that includes the Seventh to Ninth levels of Qi Refinement?” Cui Heng frowned slightly and thought to himself, “Or…”
…
While Cui Heng was sorting out his gains, Lu Zhengming also took action.
Although his martial cultivation had long been crippled, under the treatment of Cui Heng’s Dharmic powers, his cultivation had already recovered to its peak state, which was the Qi Condensation Realm.
This made Lu Zhengming feel grateful to Cui Heng. After changing into a decent robe, he went to look for a “sponsor” that night.
The county magistrate wanted to hold a welcome ceremony to let everyone in the county know that the county magistrate had changed. This was bound to cause a huge commotion in the city.
Such a ceremony definitely costs money. A lot of money.
However, Lu Zhengming did not have any money himself, so he could only look for a former cellmate.
Zhao Guang had been in a good mood recently because all the people who had robbed tombs with him were dead. No one in the world knew that he was a grave robber.
From now on, he could live happily as a rich man.
That night, Zhao Guang dragged a wine pot in his hand and lay on a rocking chair, leisurely drinking wine and enjoying the night sky. It was very comfortable.
Suddenly, a black shadow flew in from outside and landed beside him. The shadow snatched the wine pot from his hand and smiled. “Zhao San’er, do you still recognize me?”
Bang!
Zhao Guang lost his balance and fell to the ground.
He instantly sobered up and looked at the person in a daze. He immediately said in shock, “Grandpa Lu, you, how did you get out of the death-row prison?”
Three years ago, when he first wandered to Juhe County, he stole two buns to eat because he was too hungry.
Unexpectedly, the bun shop was opened by Master Huang’s second uncle. That day, he was arrested and locked in the cell next to Lu Zhengming’s.
It was only after Lu Zhengming taught him some tricks that he successfully avoided death and was even released.
“This Lord, I, received help from a benefactor. From now on, I’ll be the county deputy of Juhe County.” Lu Zhengming chuckled, seemingly quite proud.
Of course, he was not proud of being a small county deputy. Instead, he was proud of working under Cui Heng.
“My congratulations, Grandpa Lu! If you need anything in the future, feel free to look for me. I don’t have much other than money, hehe!” Zhao Guang hurriedly nodded.
He was a person who valued kindness. He would repay Lu Zhengming for the life-saving grace.
As for how a wanted criminal like Lu Zhengming had become a county deputy, although he was curious, he would not take the initiative to ask.
“That’s right. I didn’t help you for nothing back then!” Lu Zhengming laughed loudly. He patted Zhao Guang’s shoulder and said with a smile, “This time, there’s indeed something for you to use your money on.”
“In a few days, the new county magistrate will be in office. We need to hold a grand welcoming ceremony. It’s best if everyone in the county knows. From tomorrow onwards, we’ll go out together to look for help. We’ll directly use money to smash people!”
“Huh?” Zhao Guang was stunned when he heard this. He did not expect this to happen, but he did not doubt it. He nodded and said, “Okay! Don’t worry, I have a lot of money. I promise to do it beautifully and satisfy you!”
“Wrong.” Lu Zhengming shook his head and smiled. “It’s to satisfy the County Lord.”
…
Three days later.
Cui Heng put on a fancy official uniform and rode on a white horse to Juhe County City.
This was also arranged by Lu Zhengming.
Since there was a welcoming ceremony, the new county magistrate had to come in from outside the city to appear formal.
At this moment, the entrance of Juhe County City was already filled with the sounds of gongs, drums, and firecrackers. Red flags were waving in the air and the streets were crowded with people.
Under Lu Zhengming and Zhao Guang’s money attack, they actually managed to trick and gather a welcoming team of three to four thousand people.
He was standing at the front of the welcoming team with the financial provider, Zhao Guang, beside him.
The two of them waved their flags enthusiastically and prepared to welcome Cui Heng into office.
Lu Zhengming’s eyesight was extremely strong. He saw Cui Heng riding on a white horse from afar and immediately shouted, “Quick, shout with me! Welcome, County Lord! With County Lord’s arrival, Juhe will be peaceful! With County Lord’s arrival, there will be blue skies!”
“Welcome, County Lord! With you here, Juhe will be at peace! With you here, the sky will be clear!”
“Welcome, County Lord! With you here, Juhe will be at peace! With you here, the sky will be clear!”
Thousands of citizens cheered in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.
Zhao Guang was originally cheering as well. He wanted to leave a good impression on the new County Lord so that he could build a good relationship with him in the future.
However, when he saw the figure on the horse, he trembled on the spot. His voice suddenly froze and he knelt down with a thud.
“Immortal… Immortal Venerable!!!”
