Shangguan Yi's halo of bad luck was not to be trifled with.
At the very least, no one in the Vermilion Bird Sect dared to deny her halo of bad luck. She was like a bug in the system. Wherever she went, she would be wherever she went. Also, why she was so unlucky was a mystery.
An Lin finally came to a realization. He had always been invincible, so why was he suddenly defeated by a Heavenly God countless times? Could it be …
That it had something to do with Sister Shangguan Yi?
He looked at Shangguan Yi, who was sobbing uncontrollably like a helpless little girl, and he tossed these speculations to the back of his mind. This was most likely just a coincidence.
At the very least, he shouldn't blame Sister Shangguan Yi for this. He should be blaming himself for being too weak.
An Lin patted Shangguan Yi's shoulder with a smile. "You can actually bring more than just bad luck to others. Good luck and misfortune are intertwined."
Shangguan Yi's body shuddered slightly, and she looked up at An Lin with a blank expression on her face. "Good luck and misfortune are intertwined? When have I ever brought good luck to others? "
An Lin spoke with a serious expression, "Think about it, I encountered bad luck when I entered the Vermilion Bird Trial Grounds with you. I encountered a black phoenix at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage …
"But I fought to the death and obtained the Vermilion Bird Essence Blood after killing him. That blood was a priceless treasure that indirectly saved Xiaolan and gave her a new lease on life. Do you think your misfortune is intertwined with good luck? If it weren't for the fact that you summoned the black phoenix, I wouldn't have been able to obtain the Vermilion Bird Essence Blood! "
Shangguan Yi was a little taken aback upon hearing this. "So … I'm the one who summoned the black phoenix?"
An Lin's expression became even more serious. "When I'm with you, all of the bad luck I encounter will be on you!"
Shangguan Yi: "…"
An Lin continued at the sight of her aggrieved expression, "Of course, all of the good luck I encounter will also be on you. Good luck and misfortune are intertwined after all."
Shangguan Yi blinked back the tears in her eyes, and a smile appeared on her face.
"What a smooth talker …"
"I'm arguing with reason!"
An Lin continued, "As for the snow maidens, the Heavenly Time God wanted to destroy your entire tribe, but I only went to save the snow maidens because of you. Didn't the entire snow maiden race escape from extinction because of you? "
Shangguan Yi looked at An Lin with a mixture of shame and gratitude. "That's because you're a good person …"
An Lin was caught off guard, but he wasn't surprised by this. After all, he was a very good person to begin with. "It's just that I'm a little confused. Normally, the representatives of the Heavenly Dao are thinking about destroying the human race, so why did they start with the snow maidens this time?"
"That's because the snow maidens are also humans." Shangguan Yi looked up at An Lin with her bright, black eyes.
"The snow maidens are humans?!" An Lin's eyes widened in shock.
"Why are you so shocked? How are the snow maidens inhuman?" Shangguan Yi pouted with displeasure.
"They don't have a single man, but they can reproduce normally? You're telling me they're humans?" An Lin was incredulous.
Shangguan Yi blushed slightly. "I was a human in my past life, and I felt like men were disgusting, so I hid in the snow mountains to cultivate … In the end, I attained enlightenment and not only did I change the essence of life, I also invented a method to reproduce asexually. That's how the snow maidens came to be …"
An Lin's mouth gaped open. He was even more astonished to hear this than when he heard the snow maidens were humans.
He knew that Shangguan Yi was the Ice Matriarch in her past life, which meant that not only was she the patriarch of an entire tribe, she had also created an entire tribe!
A single person was able to create an entire tribe, and it was a very renowned and powerful tribe on the Tai Chu Continent at that! How terrifying was that?
"By the way, you said you felt like men were disgusting in your past life, so now …" An Lin turned to Shangguan Yi with a curious expression.
"Of course not now!" Shangguan Yi was very nervous in case An Lin misunderstood something, so she added, "The Ice Matriarch is the Ice Matriarch, and I am me. I'm different in this life."
An Lin nodded.
Shangguan Yi was indeed different in this life. In fact, she was much more pitiful than she was in her past life.
A thought suddenly occurred to him. "By the way, we're in such dire straits now. Could there be some unexpected rewards here?"
Shangguan Yi looked around to find nothing but a vast expanse of golden light. It could be said that aside from the terrifying river, there was nothing else to be found. "I don't think so. It's so empty here, what could we possibly find here?"
An Lin stood up and began to search around.
He unleashed his divine sense to find that this space was boundless.
He drew his Evil-Slaying Sword and slashed it toward the soft ground, only to find that the Evil-Slaying Sword, which was a divine tool, was unable to leave even the slightest mark on the ground.
"Wait, this doesn't seem to be material …" An Lin slashed the ground with his sword. Even though his sword was obstructed, it didn't feel like he had struck any material object.
"Hmm …" Shangguan Yi stood up. "Chen Chen said that this is a peculiar world constructed from the residual power of the Heavenly Time God. Due to the Heavenly Time God's death, this place has become an unconscious space. Due to the nature of the Heavenly Time God, this place is immortal. "
An Lin's head throbbed upon hearing this.
For normal spell techniques, they would disappear on their own after a certain amount of time had passed.
However, this spell technique was being unleashed by a freak. It was already dead, but the spell technique was still immortal! This meant that if Chen Chen and the others couldn't find a way to break out of this peculiar space, they would be trapped here forever!
No wonder Shangguan Yi said that they were no different from being dead.
After all, there was a very high chance that they were going to suffocate to death here!
"When Chen Chen and the others come back, I'm going to ask him to teach me how to isolate this river of time. I'm going to search for clues in the river as well," An Lin said with a determined expression.
"Me too. There's strength in numbers." Shangguan Yi nodded.
The two of them looked on from the shore.
Soon, ripples began to appear in the river downstream.
Chen Chen's body gradually rose to the surface with an extremely exhausted expression.
A smile appeared on his face at the sight of An Lin's awakening. "An Lin, you're awake. How are your injuries?"
An Lin smiled. "It's all thanks to the Great Empress' immortal pill, as well as the time I've spent recuperating, that I've mostly recovered from my injuries. What's the situation now? "
Chen Chen made his way over to An Lin with a disconsolate expression. "It's not looking very good. This river is imbued with the worst evil in this world, and the images that appear in the water can be used to descend into the world within the images and be tortured. Seeing as it can lead to a specific world or space, then there should be a clue leading to the Tai Chu Continent within the images, but I haven't been able to find it … "
"Give me the method to enter the river. I'll look for it as well," An Lin said.
Chen Chen nodded, and a white light erupted from his fingertip as he pressed a finger onto An Lin's forehead. "Don't refuse, I'll inject the Void Body Mantra into your body."
A short while later.
When An Lin opened his eyes again, his body had already become a little illusory and indistinct.
"So that's how it is. I can use this method to eliminate my presence to the greatest extent, thereby making the power of time ignore my existence …"
An Lin's eyes lit up, and he made his way over to the river and looked at the hellish scene before him before carefully stepping into the river!
