Chapter 410 - 223: The Female Master is Utterly Defeated!_2
Commoners procreate, Cultivators abstain; this is the path that belongs to her.
Therefore, she chose the famous Li Guanshi.
By convincing the woman whom the whole world knows desires Dual Cultivation to give it up, she could prove whether her "Abstinence Doctrine" had true value.
Li Guanshi picked up the wine pot, took a sip, and remained silent.
In fact, the other party had not spoken wrongly.
Though she suppressed the desires of the two previous Sect Leaders within her, she had her own desires as well.
After all, she was a human, with emotions and desires. As a young girl bathing, she watched her attractive body and had fantasies, felt bashful... and had secretly looked at those erotic tales.
As she grew older, her emotions and desires gradually faded, and she regarded everything as insignificant, but the imprint of desire always remained.
Dugu Luoxue said, "The pinnacle of Cultivation lies in returning to simplicity and merging with the Dao. Complete abstinence allows one to stay away from worldliness, gradually enter a state of ethereality, merge one’s soul with the universe, and ultimately, reach a state of selflessness and formlessness."
Taoist Li feared that desire would become a wildfire, but that wildfire can’t be extinguished by the affairs of men and women; rather, it gets fiercer, leading to degeneration.
