The sky was high, the clouds were clear, the mountains were green, the trees were green, and the river was flowing.
Yue Ziying stood by the river, her black eyebrows slightly furrowed. Looking at the clear river under her feet, her face revealed a rare look of confusion and disappointment. She looked like a young girl in love who was worried about love.
Day after day, month after month.
This spatial secret realm didn't seem to have any sun and moon, nor did it have four seasons. But as a level nine sword king, Yue Ziying had an extremely sharp sense of time.
Even without the sun and moon to count time, she knew that she had already stayed in this secret realm for 731 days. According to the time in the Personal World, it would be two whole years.
In this quiet and cold spatial secret realm, the spirit qi was almost solid, and it was abnormally quiet. It could be said to be a good place for secluded cultivation.
In the first year, Yue Ziying could still refine her acupoints and comprehend sword intent in peace. But Yue Qingxue and Yue Qingyu had both disappeared.
This change made Yue Ziying somewhat uneasy. She couldn't help but think that she had been abandoned here by Gao Zhengyang.
Yue Ziying knew that Gao Zhengyang had a deep, cold, and emotionless nature. People like him were capable of anything, so it wasn't strange that he had abandoned her here. But Yue Qingxue's personality was simple, and she probably wouldn't agree to leave her here alone.
Yue Ziying kept thinking, and distracting thoughts filled her mind. As time dragged on, her heart became more and more chaotic. The past year had been extremely difficult for her.
She wasn't afraid of being alone, and she didn't mind being lonely. But she couldn't bear to slowly age and decay in a spatial secret realm with no one around. She was a sword king, the master of the Imperial Heaven Six Paths Reincarnation Sword, how could she die silently like this?
But in this spatial secret realm, the connection with the Imperial Heaven Six Paths Reincarnation Sword became intermittent. The powerful spatial power almost completely isolated the Imperial Heaven Six Paths Reincarnation Sword.
Without the power of the Imperial Heaven Six Paths Reincarnation Sword, Yue Ziying couldn't escape this predicament. After realizing this, she became even more restless. She had tempered her will for a hundred years, but she couldn't suppress the restlessness and anger in her heart.
Yue Ziying had been pondering bitterly by the riverside for tens of days, and the hostility in her heart had accumulated to the extreme. She knew very well that if there was no change, she would soon go crazy.
All sentient beings could not escape from the seven emotions and six desires. This was the case for Fiendgods, and it was the same for mortals.
The clear river water suddenly rippled, and the reflection of the purple moon on the surface of the water twisted and swayed. She suddenly realized that her expression was abnormally sinister and terrifying, and she couldn't help but be startled.
"You're going to go berserk!"
Yue Qingxue walked over from behind and said calmly, "To be more accurate, when you placed your hopes on the New Moon Divine Sword, you had already gone berserk."
"Where did you go? Why are you here? "
Yue Ziying hurriedly turned around and sternly questioned Yue Qingxue.
After not seeing her for two years, Yue Qingxue's appearance had not changed in the slightest, but there was a strange sharpness between her brows. Her temperament was originally quiet and cold, ethereal and illusory. This sharpness gave her a sense of calmness, and an awe-inspiring aura.
Under Yue Qingxue's calm and deep gaze, Yue Ziying quickly calmed down. Yue Qingxue made her feel a great threat. Due to the instincts of a swordsman, she naturally suppressed her fluctuating emotions in the face of danger.
"Aunty, these two years haven't been easy, right?" Yue Qingxue's voice was like a cool breeze in the night, soft and cold, empty, without any emotion.
Yue Ziying didn't quite understand what Yue Qingxue meant, and thought for a while before saying, "Gao Zhengyang separated us, so I'm a bit worried about you guys. That's right, where is Qingyu? "
"After I awakened my memories, I often thought about a question. When we were young, why did you choose to take Qingyu away, and leave me in the Eastern Desolate Mountains …"
Yue Qingxue ignored Yue Ziying's question, and muttered to herself.
A hint of impatience flashed across Yue Ziying's face, but now Yue Qingxue's strength was already faintly above hers, and there was also Gao Zhengyang's support, so she couldn't be too strict.
She hesitated for a while before explaining, "Qingyu was born with the Heavenly Sword Ability, and is a peerless genius at refining swords. You're not suited to practicing swords … "
Yue Qingxue stared into Yue Ziying's eyes without saying a word, but her cold eyes were filled with suspicion. This made Yue Ziying a bit angry, "Qingxue, you need to be more mature! The past is the past, don't tell me you want some apology or consolation! "
After a pause, Yue Ziying softened her voice and said, "If you hadn't grown up in Tielin Sect, how would you have met Gao Zhengyang, and how would you have achieved what you have today? Maybe I mistreated you back then, but fate has given you generous compensation. "
Yue Qingxue shook her head, "Little aunt, you're lying."
Yue Ziying's expression changed, and she spoke in a loud voice, "Qingxue, even if you have Gao Zhengyang as your backing, you can't disrespect your elders!"
Yue Qingxue sighed lightly, "Little aunt, let's make things clear today. Back then when you brought Qingyu away, it was indeed because she has the talent of the Heavenly Sword Ability and is suitable to be your sword seed. Isn't that so? "
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yue Ziying's expression changed. Her face was filled with anger, and her long, black brows were almost vertical.
"Little aunt, if you don't understand, why are you so angry?"
Yue Qingxue calmly spoke, "I'm not saying this to test you. The Igniting Soul Sword Seed is a forbidden art of the Yue Clan. Only the emperors could cultivate it. Back then when Yue Changkong taught you the Igniting Soul Sword Seed, he didn't have good intentions. Naturally, little aunt, you aren't a fool either. You tricked my mother to cultivate the Igniting Soul Sword Seed together with you, and in the end, my mother suffered the consequences of cultivation deviation. You even took advantage of the fact that she was in a daze and lured her into the Heavenly Origin Planet to search for the New Moon Divine Sword … "
"Crazy, crazy, crazy!"
Yue Ziying's face was filled with shock as she involuntarily retreated. It seemed that Yue Qingxue's crazy words had already frightened her.
Yue Qingxue's eyes flashed with pity, "Little aunt, why must you do this? I'm not lying to you, I really know everything … "
Yue Ziying didn't care about what Yue Qingxue said. The matters of the past were extremely secretive, even Yue Changkong didn't know everything. Since her elder sister was gone, no one in this world would know about it. How could she admit to anything?
Yue Qingxue also didn't care about Yue Ziying's reaction, she continued, "After awakening my memories, I was thinking, since my mother loved us very much, why would she be so heartless and abandon us? She didn't even make the simplest arrangements. It wasn't until I met Xin Yue here that I understood the secret hidden in the past. "
"Xin Yue is merely an artifact spirit, how can you listen to her?"
Yue Ziying grew even more enraged. Her hand was already holding onto the hilt of her divine sword, as though she couldn't bear it any longer and wanted to teach Yue Qingxue a lesson.
"Little aunt, didn't you feel that Xin Yue resembles my mother?"
Yue Qingxue asked.
"So what? She merely changed her form based on your mother's appearance."
Yue Ziying didn't think much of it. She even laughed in disdain.
"Actually, Xin Yue obtained the sword seed nurtured in my mother's body. That's why she was able to transform into a spirit and reincarnate. She naturally isn't my mother, but she inherited many of my mother's memories. Among them, is your actions … "
As Yue Qingxue spoke, she pointed her finger. Xin Yue, who was wearing a phoenix crown and purple robe, appeared in front of Yue Ziying.
Xin Yue smiled at Yue Ziying with a hidden meaning. "I can sense the sword seed in your body …"
Xin Yue stretched out her slender, jade-like palm. In her palm, there was a perfectly round, dark-red jewel that was beating slightly like a heart.
Yue Ziying's expression changed greatly. The Infernal Soul Sword Seed came from the same source. Although she was the master of the sword seed, her strength was far from Xin Yue's. Under the resonance of the sword seed, the sword seed in her body involuntarily pulsed.
"You, you …"
Yue Ziying pointed at Xin Yue. She was both angry and frightened. For a moment, she couldn't speak.
"That day, you planted the Infernal Soul Sword Seed. Today, the sword seed has bloomed."
Xin Yue said as she waved her hand. An equally dark-red jewel flew out from between Yue Ziying's eyebrows and landed in her other hand.
The two dark-red jewels were exactly the same. They both pulsed and breathed together, emitting a powerful and deep aura.
The Infernal Soul Sword Seed that she had painstakingly cultivated for so many years was taken away. Yue Ziying couldn't bear it anymore. She pulled out the divine sword on her back and pointed it at Yue Qingxue. "Return it to me. Otherwise, either you die or I die."
Yue Qingxue looked at the sharp edge of the sword and asked, "The Infernal Soul Sword Seed has been taken away. Aunty, how much power do you have left?"
Yue Ziying's face turned even paler. Ninety percent of her power was focused on the Infernal Soul Sword Seed. Without the sword seed, she could still rely on her Ninth Stage foundation to fight for a short period of time. But as time went on, her vital qi cultivation would definitely collapse.
"Aunty, you probably don't know. Everything that our sword master does will be recorded by the Royal Heavenly Six Paths of Reincarnation Sword."
Yue Qingxue said, "Whether you admit it or not, you can't hide what you've done!"
This sentence completely crushed Yue Ziying. The divine sword in her hand fell powerlessly. She said with a miserable expression, "I was also deceived by your father. That's why I became like this. This isn't what I wanted! "
"Aunty …"
Yue Qingyu walked out of the void with tears streaming down her face. She had been watching from the side. Yue Ziying admitted that she had caused Yue Ziye's death. This was something that Yue Qingyu couldn't accept.
"Childish."
Towards Yue Qingyu's crying, Yue Qingxue commented coldly and almost emotionlessly. This made Yue Qingyu feel even more heartbroken and pained.
Yue Qingxue shook her head, "Experts can have emotions, but they can't be weak. Half of mother's death was because she was too naive. I hope you can learn from her lesson … "
Xin Yue said indifferently, "She also has a sword seed that has been nurtured for many years. Although it isn't strong, it's filled with spirituality. Once the three sword seeds fuse, you will immediately possess a Ninth Stage pinnacle sword intent. At that time, you will be able to cultivate both martial and spiritual energy. You won't be inferior to Gao Zhengyang. "
Hearing Xin Yue's words, Yue Qingyu no longer had the mood to cry. She looked at her twin sister nervously and fearfully. Yue Qingxue's current emotionless appearance made her very afraid.
"Good idea."
Yue Qingxue lightly praised, causing Yue Qingyu's heart to sink to the bottom. She looked at her sister pitifully, hoping that her sister would change her mind.
Without waiting for Yue Qingxue to speak, Xin Yue waved her hand again. A dark red pearl flew out from Yue Qingyu's forehead and landed in her hand.
Yue Qingyu's strength was far from her aunty's. When the Infernal Soul Sword Seed that was connected to her life was taken away, she couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground.
She looked at her sword seed listlessly. This thing had been in her body for more than ten years, but she only knew of its existence. So, all the strength that she had cultivated bitterly was gathered in this sword seed!
This realization made her feel even more hopeless.
