Ninth-level fairy

Chapter 318: Long Yuan's Past

The woman's eyes slowly closed, as if lost in thought. For a long moment, she finally spoke, "No wonder, over a thousand years ago, when I was completing the final step of her immortality, refining her soul, I discovered her consciousness was completely empty. So she pulled such a sly trick! The three of us, immortals, were actually tricked by a little girl!"

Bai Zhi snorted coldly, "My Qing Emperor is the wisest of all the lands. How can you three monsters compare to him? Li Xueying is my Qing Emperor's beloved, and I have never betrayed her in my life. Even if only a wisp of my soul remains, I will risk my life to tell her..."

"No wonder, no wonder, when this Li Xueying appeared, you were suspicious!"

Bai Zhi shook her head: "From the moment I entered this space, I knew the secrets beneath the sea of ​​​​realm, and I also knew the way your spirit ghost clan transformed in this space!"

The woman was stunned and asked, "So, when Du Fang began to enter the illusion of the holy temple, you deliberately played dumb in front of that old woman Youhuang to avoid suspicion and sneaked into her lamp cave?"

Bai Zhi chuckled, "You want to erase his memory and turn him into an idiot, ready to do whatever you want. But you forgot that our Qing Emperor was conscious when he cut out this space!"

"Then...why, over a thousand years ago, did she obey His Majesty's whispers and go to Jingshen Peak and ascend the Immortal Terrace in search of a path to heaven?"

"Because the Green Emperor also wants to live forever, and he also wants to be the first person in Jiuzhou to ascend to heaven ten thousand years later!" Bai Zhi's face was filled with immense pride.

"This is the ultimate dream of every powerful cultivator, isn't it?"

"Yes!" The woman lowered her head. This kind of temptation was the ultimate temptation at the end of cultivation for any sword cultivator. Even though Bai Qingyu had the power of the evil god and an immortal body, he could not resist it.

Bai Zhi pointed at Du Fang's body, which was still rolling on the green liquid on the stage.

"You may not know this yet, but this man named Du Fang didn't lose his memory during your illusionary trial, and his consciousness is intact!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

For the first time, a panicked expression appeared on the woman's face. Suddenly, she stared at Bai Zhi's expression and asked, "Could it be that he also has this magical object that can hold spiritual consciousness?"

Bai Zhi shook her head and snorted again: "No!"

"Why then?"

The woman's expression was almost broken, and her body was shaking violently with excitement.

"Because of the Faeries!"

Bai Zhi's face was expressionless. "More than ten years ago, the spirit of destiny helped you find the perfect host, that boy Du Fang, and influenced his mind to become a disciple of Lingxiao. Because you know, only Lingxiao has the Sword Gate. It is the place where the Human Emperor fell, and it contains the divine sword Chengying that opened the sky. Only it can receive the power of the God Slaughter here, break through the three immortal artifacts, go to Buzhou Mountain, Jingshen Peak, and rebuild the road to heaven."

"Is there anything wrong with that?"

Bai Zhi chuckled again, "The Human Emperor is such a great man, how could he let you control him? After he failed to split the sky and was killed by the immortal bone body of the Heavenly Emperor's immortal weapon, his consciousness recovered and he escaped with a wisp of soul. In order to avoid being hunted by the Heavenly Emperor and the Soul Breaker, he sealed himself in the Sword Gate."

"You think that within the Sword Gate, the only divine sword he left behind is his, right?"

The woman remained silent, clearly acknowledging the truth. However, she still spoke unwillingly, "Isn't he still dead? It's been ten thousand years. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't escape the passage of time!"

Unexpectedly, Bai Zhi suddenly said, "He is indeed dead. He is not a saint and cannot escape the erosion of time. But he relied on his Taoist partner Qingyao and left behind the immortal spirit refining technique before his death!"

"What is the art of refining immortal spirits?"

"The Immortal Spirit is originally a killing body, wandering the world for nearly ten thousand years. The Emperor of Heaven refined it and handed it to the Soul Breaker to control it to balance the spiritual energy of the world. But the Human Emperor was a great man after all. When his soul was extinguished, he engraved this refining technique inside the red coffin. A thousand years ago, the founder of Lingxiao discovered Jianmen and brought this refining technique out!"

Bai Zhi said leisurely: "Do you know what happens when the immortal body and the spirit of luck converge into one person?"

"what happens?"

Bai Zhi's face was firm as she spoke word by word, "It will be exactly the same as the Holy Son of the direct descendant of the Southern Pole Changsheng Emperor, who ascended before the Great Desolation was shattered, beneath Mount Buzhou!"

The woman suddenly gasped, her face turning pale. "You...you even know the biggest secret in the world!"

"Hehe, you thought that if the Emperor ordered the Soul Breakers to wipe the history of this prehistoric world off the map, no one would know about it, right? You're no different from those lackeys of the Emperor, the Soul Breakers. You old antiques of the prehistoric world are lingering here, hoping that another Ascendant will appear and take you away from here, return to the fairyland, and achieve eternal immortality!"

"But you are wrong. As the pioneer of the Spirit Ghost Clan's astrology, you follow the will of the Ghost Emperor Ye Liushuang and want to find a successor within ten thousand years, return to the Immortal Realm, emulate her glorious achievements, and kill the Immortal Realm Emperor!"

The woman gritted her teeth and said, "This is the will of my clan. As long as one of my spirit ghost clan members is alive, they will inherit your majesty's will!"

Bai Zhi sneered, "You have great ambitions. You're the pioneer of astrology for the Spirit Ghost Clan. You already know there's no immortal God in this world, so what's the point of the path to immortality? Even if you go to heaven with all the effort, won't you still die?"

"Don't worry about that. You're arguing with me here, are you planning to kill me and ruin this triple ritual?"

Bai Zhi chuckled a few times and took out the Mo Hen sword again. She admired the traces of flowing blood shadows on the sword's spine.

She said softly, "This sword was refined by the Green Emperor in the Immortal Realm. When she was imprisoned by the Heavenly Emperor, she was thrown out of the Immortal Realm and landed on the Sword Tomb of my Longyuan Divine Mountain!"

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Bai Zhi ignored her interruption and continued, "Ever since Long Yuan was born, I have had two bodies and one soul. Do you know what this concept of two bodies and one soul means?"

"I don't know!" The woman answered honestly. She really didn't know what two bodies and one soul meant. She had been trapped in this space for too long, and the world outside was too unfamiliar to her.

Bai Zhi's face was very calm, as if she was talking about an irrelevant past event:

"Two bodies, one soul" means taking twins born from the womb, extracting one of their souls from the body and destroying her, and then dividing the other soul between two bodies!"

The woman seemed to understand a little: "Two bodies, sharing one soul?"

“That’s right, and that’s not right!”
