Troubled Longing

Having had the revelation that the Ring was behind his desire, Lin Mu felt conflicted.

On one hand, it had certainly allowed him to get stronger and on the other hand it had made him suffer. Having to live with that desire was not good at all for Lin Mu. Had it not been for his mentality that had grown strong over the year, it might have ended differently for him.

After all, Lin Mu knew that such an intense desire could turn into an obsession, which could further lead to many problems for a cultivator. 

Falling into a Qi deviation would be the least of his worries, as there was a high chance that an obsession like that might just end up giving birth to a Heart Demon. 

That was something that Lin Mu certainly did not wish for. Living with a Heart Demon was not an easy task, and he knew this very well, having read the memoirs of the lost immortal.
