I never thought about it, but since a chinese novel pointed it out to be Fear, I decided to google it and found other contenders such as Love, Guilt, Shame etc.

The strongest emotion is the emotion youre currently feeling.

Angry focused techniques works best when angry.

Sad focused techniques works best when sad.

Bored focused technique tend to fail because doing activity always resolve boredom and changing it into exhaustion.

Exhaustion focused technique could be made, but its even harder to activate techique while exhausted, let alone using it effectively.

Inspired from chinese shit cultivation novels i read sometime ago. I have read too much of them and i decides to vomit those paragraph above.

Ambition, it is what drives humanity to move forward, everything we ever had and will have is due to ambition. The will to act on our anger, the pursuit of pleasure, to enact our dreams. Everything stems from that very drive.

Love.

It is prone to be twisted into its perverted form and gave birth to other emotions.

Love for material wealth - greed
Excessive self love - pride
etc etc.

In Gu Zhen Re's Reverend Insanity, Immortal Gu only have 1 fixed effect. Only Love Gu has multiple effect that activate psuedo-randomly. Moreover, it can even be activated through consuming the user's lifespan, sight, or other sacrifices instead of Immortal Essence.

Despair and desperation followed by a fleeting offer of hope that is cruelly taken away and replaced with an abrupt shift into hopelessness and fear as one is given just enough time to envision an imminent and inescapable demise unfolding before their very eyes.

"Hope is a truly devastating emotion. Ripping it away from someone at the most crucial of moments can easily shatter the mind and utterly crush a person's will to believe that hope had ever existed in the first place."

probably calm.

when you're calm you can make the most rational decision and stay focused, while other emotions can make you vulnerable to an extent.

but if you can keep your calm at all times you're probably invincible.

Reading through the making of Inside Out, the animated movie. I believe it is safe to assume that humans could not list all of their emotions.

Although, if anyone would agree, I think curiosity is an emotion. And when provoked, it led us to many wonders that we did not know about, both of the world, and in ourselves, leading to thrill, frustration, despair and many others. It is primordial, and it is the strongest.
