Ex-Wife is a Big Villainess
Chapter 409 - 223: The Female Master is Utterly Defeated!

Dugu Luoxue knelt and sat on the cushion, her spine as erect as a pine tree, hands on her knees, buttocks touching her ankles, naturally exuding a dignified and respectful demeanor that fully displayed her refined elegance.

Compared to the more popular sitting meditation method of Confucianism, Dugu Luoxue still adhered to the old rules and chose to preach while kneeling.

This clearly showcased the traditionalism ingrained within the female master.

However, from the perspective of where Jiang Shouzhong was sitting, this kneeling posture highlighted the flexibility and beautiful curvature of a woman’s waistline, quite charming and alluring.

Especially her perfectly round hips, reminiscent of a full moon on the horizon.

Perhaps only someone as thoroughly experienced as Jiang Yi could compare to her in terms of the tension in those curves.

In plain terms, fitting to kneel behind...

...and push.

Dugu Luoxue parted her red lips and was the first to speak, "I remember the first time I used the ’Abstinence Doctrine’ in an attempt to persuade Taoist Li to give up the Dual Cultivation Skill, but I failed.

Afterward, I realized my mistake; what I needed to persuade was not the desire between men and women, but the heavenly path that Taoist Li pursued. Thus, the second time, I put forth ’Heavenly Abstinence Question,’ but the effect was still poor.

Later, I thoroughly studied the cultivation technique ’Three Lives Longevity Skill’ practiced by Taoist Li and discovered a problem..."

Dugu Luoxue paused deliberately at this point, looked at Li Guanshi with her enchanting eyes, and asked, "May I discuss some issues with your sect’s ’Three Lives Longevity Skill’ here?"

Li Guanshi smiled faintly, "It doesn’t matter."

Dugu Luoxue nodded slightly and continued:

"Since ancient times, mortals who wish to ascend to immortality must step onto the Ascension Bridge to open the Heavenly Gate and attain eternal life. Without the Ascension Bridge, even if you become an expert in the Heavenly Human Realm, you can do nothing.

’Three Lives Longevity Skill,’ being one of the four great mysterious books in the world, is most formidable because at the highest level of cultivation, one does not need to rely on the Ascension Bridge to break through the Heavenly Gate and achieve eternity.

The reason it is called ’Three Lives Longevity Skill’ is not because one needs to practice it through three lifetimes but because it is inherited by three generations of sect leaders.

That is to say, you need to sacrifice two generations of sect leaders to accomplish the practice of this technique by the third generation’s sect leader.

Thus, every three years, the cultivation of your sect leader reaches a tremendous height, making it easiest to ascend. And this inheritance is not just a transmission of power but also of emotions and desires.

Taoist Li has the power of the previous two sect leaders in her body, as well as their emotional and lustful distractions. Due to the special nature of this technique, the emotions and desires accumulated by each generation of sect leaders double and transfer to the next generation, intertwining more deeply like climbing vines, both aiding and hindering cultivation.

This is also why, every time South Sea Holy Sect selects a sect leader, they require the candidate disciples to sever emotional ties and causality in the world, precisely to prevent debasement..."

All these were already known to Jiang Yi.

But Jiang Shouzhong had heard of this only for the first time, which stirred his curiosity. No wonder his master had said that Li Guanshi was the only cultivator who might successfully ascend in his generation.

Dugu Luoxue looked directly at Li Guanshi, her beautiful eyes sparkling, "If I’m not mistaken, with Taoist Li’s talents, her cultivation level might have already reached the Heavenly Human Realm, you just suppress it deliberately."

As soon as these words were said, everyone was astounded.

It was well known that Zhao Wuxiu was called the number one in the world because he was the only master to step into the ’Heavenly Human Realm.’

If Li Guanshi really was at the Heavenly Human Realm, then this contention for the number one in the world would have to be discussed anew.

Thinking back to when he had spoken disrespectfully to this Heavenly Human Realm master several times under the identity of a Sword Demon’s disciple, Jiang Shouzhong instinctively shrank, feeling a cold sweat on his back.

Looking at it now, his own master was not this woman’s match either.

He better keep a good attitude from now on.

Dugu Luoxue then said, "If the third generation sect leader wants a successful ascent, they must unify their three hearts, clear themselves of both feelings and desires; they must not only rely on external forces to purify these emotions and desires through Dual Cultivation but also reach a state of ’emptiness’ in their own mindset. If not properly guided, this could lead to the rampant growth of Heart Demons.

This is also why Taoist Li needs Dual Cultivation."

The reason for the forty-nine days.

And if one exceeds the period prescribed by the cultivation technique without having cleared themselves of these emotions and desires, then all their cultivation will be utterly destroyed.

Actually, if Taoist Li had been willing, she could have already found a partner in the mortal world for Dual Cultivation. Yet Taoist Li has deliberately not chosen her partner and even suppressed her state, which clearly shows that she does not wish to engage in Dual Cultivation."

At this point, Dugu Luoxue revealed a smile and said:

"Since Taoist Li is unwilling in her heart, I do not need to convince her from scratch but simply need to give a push. Whether today’s persuasion succeeds or not, my goal has been achieved."

The woman’s intention was clear.

You have already made up your mind internally but are hesitant due to lingering emotions and desires; let me help you make the decision.

It was evident Dugu Luoxue was confident in this discussion.

Her intention was to erase that trace of emotion and desire from Li Guanshi’s heart.

During the previous discussion at the Cloud Platform Conference, although her ’Abstinence Doctrine’ faced opposition from many, it still influenced quite a few people who gave up worldly relationships and began abstinent cultivation.

Even a cultivator addicted to Dual Cultivation, after hearing Dugu Luoxue’s lecture on abstinence, feared he couldn’t achieve it and castrated himself to ensure permanent compliance.

But these did not bring a sense of achievement to Dugu Luoxue.

She needed a bigger stage and more people to embrace this ideology, to create a world of cultivators without desires.
