Almost the instant he realized that the Sword Saint had no intention of making a move, Gu Xiu in black robes wanted to give up and abandon the test.

But just as he was about to act, he found that the Buddhist divine fire in front of him was like a piece of chewing gum stuck to him. He tried several times but could not shake off the seven emotions detection on it. He wanted to simply take the Buddhist divine fire with him and escape, but he found that Zen Master Wugou and Supreme Huang Chao had already appeared behind him in a flash.

"Mr. Gu, you should just focus on getting tested. It's best not to go anywhere until the results are in."

"Gu Xiu, now that you've already taken the test, just wait for the results. Moving around now might actually hurt you. If you get injured, don't blame us."

The two men stood on either side of each other, their gazes sharp.

obviously.

They couldn't allow Gu Xiu in black robes to find a chance to escape at this time. If Gu Xiu made any rash move, the two of them would not hesitate to take him down.

While the other three Supreme Beings did not surround him, their eyes remained fixed on the Old Sword Saint, clearly guarding against the possibility that the Old Sword Saint might suddenly intervene to rescue Gu Xiu. The five Supreme Beings came to ensure that nothing went wrong.

"One of them is lit!"

Just as tensions were rising, someone shouted, and everyone turned to look. Sure enough, a yellow flame lit up in Gu Xiu's Buddhist divine fire. The flame wasn't particularly dazzling, but it seemed to carry some kind of power that could influence people's emotions.

Just looking at it fills one with joy and happiness.

"This is the joy of the seven emotions. The divine fire of Buddhism is indeed extraordinary. Although it can only be used once, it can directly detect a person's seven emotions. This thing is truly miraculous."

"Buddhism emphasizes great love, but it does not mean being heartless or devoid of humanity. Rather, it requires one to have the seven emotions in one's heart. Some high-ranking Buddhist monks who hold important positions need to pass the test of the Buddhist divine fire. This thing directly reflects one's heart, and no matter how powerful a person is, they cannot fake it."

"I just don't know if Gu Xiu is really devoid of the seven emotions."

"..."

Everyone spoke up, their eyes all turning to the Buddhist divine fire. Under their watchful gaze, the second red flame, representing the seven emotions of anger, also lit up.

Next are the blue flames representing the sorrow of the seven emotions, and the black flames representing the fear of the seven emotions.

The four flames drew everyone's attention, causing them to hold their breath and stare intently at the upcoming changes.

According to the Buddhist sect of the Western Desert.

Gu Xiu lacks love and affection, which means that his fifth divine fire cannot be lit.

As long as this ball of light doesn't light up, it proves that the Buddhist accusations are true, that Gu Xiu really is the young master of the immortal sect, that he really lacks the seven emotions and love, and that he really might be the immortal who destroys the world!

And under the watchful eyes of everyone.

The fifth divine fire finally lit up; it was a green divine fire, and the moment it lit up, it immediately drew cheers from many people.

"He succeeded! Gu Xiu succeeded!"

"Hahaha, it seems that these bald monks from the Buddhist sect have indeed brought a treasure from afar. These bastards are really too wicked, actually trying to smear Gu Xiu."

"I knew it. How could Old Gu be some kind of world-destroying immortal? How could he be devoid of emotions? I want to see what these Buddhists have to say."

"Immortal Venerable Gu has been slandered!"

"..."

Although Gu Xiu in black robes looked down on many of the people present, they were all outstanding young talents and heroes. In fact, many of them already knew Gu Xiu, and even if they had no personal relationship with him, they had connections with him in their sects or clans.

Not everyone wants to see Gu Xiu suffer; in fact, most people actually hope that Gu Xiu will be alright.

Lu Dongshan was the most excited. He immediately looked at Jingde and Jingyan with a sinister smile, already planning how to humiliate these bald monks and make them pay the price.

only……

While Lü Dongshan was pondering how to retaliate, the Zen Master Wugou had already put his hands together and said:

"Amitabha."

"It seems that Benefactor Gu is indeed lacking in love and affection."

"Old monk, are you sure you're not mistaken? Didn't you see that the fifth divine fire has also lit up?" Lu Dongshan cursed. If he hadn't thought about the strength of this Immaculate Zen Master, he would have rushed up and given him two big slaps.

Are you blind?

Didn't you see that green flame lit up?

“Esteemed benefactors, what my uncle said is correct.” It was Monk Jingyan who spoke up at this moment:

“The sacred fire of Buddhism can detect the seven emotions of a person, and the seven emotions are both form and emptiness. Since they are form, they naturally have something to represent.”

What do you mean?

The crowd was puzzled, but then they heard the monk Jingde beside them say:

"The seven emotions are represented by color. The different colors of the flames lit by the sacred fire of Buddhism represent the different seven emotions: yellow represents joy, red represents anger, blue represents sorrow, black represents fear, and as for green..."

"This represents the evil of the seven emotions."

"Gu Xiu did not light up the pink flame that represents the seven emotions of love, but skipped this divine fire directly, which means that Gu Xiu is indeed lacking in the seven emotions."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.

As if to confirm Jingyan Jingde's words, just as everyone was exclaiming in surprise, another ball of purple fire lit up in the Buddhist divine fire.

No explanation was needed; everyone already understood.

This flame represents the last of Gu Xiu's seven emotions: desire!

"He skipped over the seven emotions of love. Could Gu Xiu really be the young master of a cultivation sect?"

"The seven emotions are human nature. It is impossible for a human being to lack all seven emotions. I have never heard of or seen a situation where one of the seven emotions is missing!"

"Is he really an immortal who will destroy the universe? If so, what should we do?"

"Gu Xiu... isn't from Haoyu?"

"The young master of the immortal sect, or even the reincarnation of an immortal venerable, could it really be as said before, that the Sword Saint senior saw through this, and that's why he called Gu Xiu a sword immortal five hundred years ago, because he had already seen that Gu Xiu was not human?"

A burst of discussion erupted at this moment. Although the monk Jingyan had said before that Gu Xiu was the young master of the immortal sect and the immortal who would destroy the world, it was still hard to tell whether it was true or not. Even if they had some doubts, they still felt that it was too far-fetched.

But now that the truth is laid bare, it's finally impossible for everyone to remain silent any longer.

They were shocked to learn that Gu Xiu was actually an immortal.

same……

Many people are also wondering what to do if Gu Xiuruo is really the legendary world-destroying immortal.

"If he really is a world-destroying immortal, then... should we take action and kill him?"

"Nonsense! Gu Xiu once did our clan a great favor. Are we to turn against him and repay kindness with enmity just because of such a vague legend? I would never do such a thing!"

"But the Buddhist prophecy is probably true. I've heard of the legends of the young master of the immortal sect or the reincarnation of an immortal venerable before. No matter what he was like in the past, or what his personality and character were like, as long as he leaves this world, he will take action and kill everyone in this world who has a karmic connection with him."

"He may not have done anything wrong now, but when he becomes powerful enough, he will be a true world-destroying immortal, and everyone who has dealt with him will be doomed. The best way is probably to kill him before he grows up."

"..."

Thanks to Gu Xiu's character and reputation, there was no one-sided opinion. However, even though some people were willing to believe in Gu Xiu and not to attack him, they were still a minority.

If Gu Xiuru is truly an immortal capable of destroying the world, then being an enemy of the entire world seems to be an unchangeable fact.

“Sword Saint Senior, Gu Xiu is indeed an Immortal of Annihilation. In that case, such a person shouldn't be qualified to ascend the Sword Enlightenment Platform; otherwise, he would be aiding the enemy.” Someone spoke first, as if a switch had been flipped, and one after another, others stepped forward.

"Yes, senior, this is a world-destroying immortal. If his cultivation improves in the future, he will surely become the chief villain of the vast universe, and I'm afraid no one will be able to stop him. I beg you, senior, to take action, capture Gu Xiu, and kill him on the spot!"

"Please, senior, take action and slay the demon!"

"For Haoyu's sake, Gu Xiu must die, otherwise he will bring disaster to Haoyu in the future!"

“Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. Gu Xiu may have been good in the past, but he is destined to stand on the opposite side of us in the future. Killing him now is the best choice.”

"..."

One after another, people stepped forward, hoping that the Sword Saint would take action and capture Gu Xiu.

Faced with this scene, even the three disciples of the Sword Saint looked extremely grim, while the old Sword Saint himself frowned and remained silent.

“I had heard before that you, senior, thought highly of this benefactor Gu. It’s normal that you are reluctant to stifle such a genius. But now that the evidence is conclusive, I hope that you can make the right decision for Haoyu!” Monk Jingyan immediately spoke up.

Zen Master Wugou also came out, his face showing no joy, but rather full of sorrow, as if this outcome was not what he had hoped for either.

"Actually, to be honest, Benefactor Gu has great potential and is also a person with great fortune. It would be a pity to kill him like this. I suppose the Sword Saint Senior is unwilling to take action because of his love for talent."

"If that's the case, then this humble monk shall play the villain."

"Our Western Desert Buddhist sect excels at education and moral guidance. Perhaps you, senior, could take action, capture him, and bring him back to the Western Desert for a chance to save him? What do you think, senior?"

As soon as he spoke, the other supreme beings beside him nodded in agreement.

Everyone says this is a good idea.

The crowd chattered animatedly, creating quite a scene. However, listening to their theatrical performance, the old swordsman's furrowed brows relaxed. He then glanced at them and suddenly said:

“Your Buddhist sect is indeed quite capable. This Buddhist divine fire is more powerful than some of the methods I have ever seen.”

"Senior, are you perhaps questioning whether I tampered with the Buddhist divine fire? Is there a problem?" Zen Master Wugou raised an eyebrow.

"Question? Of course not." The old swordsman shook his head and smiled.

"Not only did I not question it, but I also praised it. In front of your Buddhist divine fire, the seven emotions are indeed nowhere to hide. Even if someone deliberately tampered with it, it can be seen through directly."

"Even I have to admit that this is true."

Ok?

The old swordsman's words stunned everyone present, who were somewhat confused about what he meant.

But at that moment, Lü Dongshan suddenly pointed at Gu Xiu and exclaimed:

"Look!"

"The seventh divine fire has also been ignited!"
