Ziyao sat down quietly and said softly, "I'm a god of the Heavenly Realm. Restricted by the laws of the Divine Realm, the gods of the Heavenly Realm are not allowed to enter the Ghost's Domain. This is an order set hundreds of thousands of years ago, so I can't break this order. This time, I can only send you into the Ghost's Domain. As for how to find Xiao Yin, it's up to you."
"Don't worry." Lin Muyu nodded, her eyes full of determination.
"You're a god of the Lower Realm, so you're not restricted by the order of the Divine Realm. However … if you meet the three Ghost Emperors in the Ghost's Domain, it's best to avoid them. They're very strong, so you must be careful."
"En."
Beside her, Tang Xiaoxi looked at her and asked, "Sister Ziyao, can I go with Mu?"
"Oh, why do you want to go?" Ziyao looked at her with a smile. It was probably because Tang Xiaoxi killed Qin Yin, which caused great harm to Lin Muyu and Qin Yin, so Ziyao didn't have a good impression of Tang Xiaoxi. She said, "You killed Qin Yin. I don't need to remind you, do I?"
"I'll bear the consequences of my own actions." Tang Xiaoxi said softly.
"No need."
Ziyao said, "If you want to make up for your guilt towards Qin Yin, you'll have plenty of opportunities in the future. But this time, only Yu can go alone, because I can only send one person into the Ghost's Domain at a time. Otherwise, the loss of divine power will be too great. It's not something that can be replenished by refining the Spiritual Qi of the Divine Realm."
Lin Muyu said, "Xiao Xi, stay in this plane and wait for me to come back. If you really feel guilty, wait for Xiao Yin to come back and tell her personally. Let me finish this matter alone."
Tang Xiaoxi stood there silently. Her heart was in a mess. She wanted to make up for the mistake she had made, but no one gave her the chance.
Chu Yao gently hugged Tang Xiaoxi's shoulder and said, "Xiao Xi, listen to Yu. We'll just wait here quietly for his return. Moreover, after Yu leaves, there will be no one to manage the situation in Lingdong and Tongtian Provinces. You are the Princess of Fu Guo. You should stay and manage the situation. This is what you should do."
"Yes." Tang Xiaoxi nodded. "I know, I will. Mu, you must bring Xiao Yin back. As long as she is willing to forgive me, I will do anything."
"No, it won't be that easy for Xiao Yin to come back."
Ziyao broke Tang Xiaoxi's dream and said, "This trip to Ghost's Domain is only for Yu and Xiao Yin to meet, but it won't change the process of Xiao Yin's reincarnation. I think Yu must want to see Xiao Yin, and Xiao Yin also wants to see Yu. If we forcibly bring Xiao Yin out of Ghost's Domain, she will just be a soul without a body. Sooner or later, her soul will turn into ashes. Only after crossing the Six Realms and attaining enlightenment will she be able to reconstruct her divine personality and body."
Tang Xiaoxi was stunned and didn't know what to say.
Lin Muyu took a deep look at her, held her shoulder, and said, "Xiao Xi, if you want to make it up to Xiao Yin, then help her guard the mountains and rivers that belong to her, okay? After you were abducted to the Devil Clan, the Demon Clan in the Forest of Infinity has been out of the control of the Empire. They have repeatedly harassed the Empire's garrison in the Demon Suppressing Pass. You still need to go to the peace of the Western Region. Only when you go, Linghu Yan and others in the Forest of Infinity will yield to the control of the Qin Empire. "
Tang Xiaoxi nodded gently. "I will, Mu. You must be careful when you go to Ghost's Domain. Come back alive to see me and sister Chu Yao."
"I know."
"Then, let's get ready to go."
Ziyao smiled faintly and said, "The gate of Ghost's Domain will open at midnight, but before that, we have to find a place of extreme Yin, so that we can cut through the bitwall and send you to Ghost's Domain."
"A place of extreme Yin?" Lin Muyu was stunned.
Chu Yao and Tang Xiaoxi were also at a loss. A place of extreme Yin was rarely heard of.
At this moment, Situ Sen's voice came from outside the door. "Your Highness, there is a mass grave ten miles southeast of Tongtian City. It is said that ghosts often appear at night. That place should be regarded as a place of extreme Yin!"
"Have you been eavesdropping?" Lin Muyu asked.
"Oh, I'm just passing by. I'll take my leave now."
Ziyao chuckled and said, "Then let's go. We'll find that mass grave and wait until midnight to cross the bitwall."
"Okay!"
…
Lin Muyu once again asked Chu Yao and Tang Xiaoxi to stay behind to take charge of the situation, and then left Tongtian City with Ziyao. Lin Muyu went first. After breaking the void, she was already ten miles away from the city, while Ziyao quickly broke the space wall and followed Lin Muyu's aura.
Under the setting sun, the two flew side by side over the jungle, looking for the mass grave that Situ Sen had mentioned.
After nearly an hour, they finally found it. It was a densely packed grave, about two or three miles away from the nearest village. Most of the poor people in Tongtian City, as well as those who died in the war, were buried here.
"Whoosh!"
Lin Muyu floated to the ground. She shook her palm gently and spat out a soft force, shattering the bodies of two wild dogs that were tearing apart a rotten corpse not far away.
"A dignified god actually spends her energy on this kind of place."
Zi Yao smiled faintly. With a flip of her palm, raging flames burned the rotting corpse into ashes. She raised her palm, and a gust of wind blew, instantly turning the corpse into ashes. Although Zi Yao was the ruler of the Life Law, she was also well-versed in the power of the other laws. Most God Emperor-level experts had this ability.
Lin Muyu sat down on a rock under a vigorous old pine tree, pulled out the Stars Sword, and carefully wiped it.
Ziyao sat at the side with interest and said with a smile, "Yu, there should be a story behind this Stars Sword, right?"
"Yes."
Lin Muyu nodded, "Back when I was in Lanyan City, I followed an elder to learn the Imperial Sword Technique. This Stars Sword was his favorite collection. Later on, the Yihe Country was in turmoil and they snatched this sword away. They also killed my teacher and cast his soul into the sword to become the sword soul. This is the origin of this sword."
"Oh …"
Ziyao nodded and said, "Although the God Realm has established the order of the Three Realms, the Human Realm is still in constant war. Many living beings are suffering from the chaos of war. It seems that we gods can only enjoy the incense offered by the living beings, but we can't do anything for the Human Realm."
Lin Muyu smiled and asked, "Ziyao, how long have you ascended?"
"Counting carefully, it has been three thousand years."
Ziyao smiled and said, "Why are you suddenly asking me about this?"
"Big sister of three thousand years …" Lin Muyu held back her laughter and said, "Tell me what the God Realm is like?"
"Yes."
Ziyao said, "The God Realm is just a saying. In other words, it is just a spatial plane with abundant spiritual energy. The God Realm is also known as the Myriad Realms and Stars. The Gods travel through it happily. The Myriad Realms and Stars are divided into the East, South, West, and North Star Regions, which are ruled by four Supreme God Emperors. The East Heaven is currently controlled by the Demon Emperor. There are nearly a thousand God Emperors, more than ten thousand God Kings, and countless Supreme Gods. The East Heaven has more than four thousand planes under its jurisdiction. The Shattered Cauldron Realm where you are and the Earth where you were originally from are two of the planes. The gods of the Heaven Realm rely on the power of faith in the planes to absorb divine power and control the Three Realms, but they can't do anything about it."
"There are more than four thousand planes like the Shattered Cauldron Realm …"
"Yes, this is still considered a small number. There are at least thirty thousand such planes in the Four Great Celestial Realms. Outside the Four Great Celestial Realms, there is the even more vast Heaven beyond Heaven. It is said that there are many prehistoric ancient gods there, but we still don't know about it. The gods who went to the Heaven beyond Heaven have never returned." As she spoke, Ziyao flipped her hair and her eyes were full of yearning. She said, "It must be a paradise, right?"
"Paradise?"
Lin Muyu smiled meaningfully. "It is probably a world where the strong prey on the weak?"
"Yu, what do you yearn for?" Ziyao asked with a smile.
"I want to find Xiao Yin and live my current life. Or I want to live in seclusion in the mountains and plant peach blossoms and pear blossoms. I want to stand aloof from worldly affairs and cultivate in peace."
Zi Yao actually felt slightly yearning for it as well, and the corners of her mouth curled into a happy smile as she said, "Hearing you say that, even I feel so envious. It's just that … there doesn't seem to be anyone that's willing to give me such a life. Truthfully speaking, I'm slightly envious of little girls like Little Yin and Little Xi."
"Why are you jealous?" Lin Muyu said in a self-deprecating manner. "I can't even protect the woman I love. Sometimes, I feel that I am really useless."
"What do you mean by useless?" Zi Yao's beautiful eyes narrowed as she said, "How old are you? You stepped into the God Realm at the mere age of thirty-four and cultivated the twentieth layer of Heavenly Abode. Even in the entire Divine World, there aren't many who can do that. Hmph, you're still not satisfied. When I was your age, I was only a Saint realm!
"Is that so?"
Lin Muyu looked at Ziyao's appearance and said, "Sister Ziyao, when you stepped into the Saint realm, you were twenty-five at most. Looking at your appearance now, you should have entered the Immortal State long ago."
"Who said so? I only stepped into the Saint realm at the age of twenty-nine." Ziyao pursed her lips and said, "If it wasn't for my natural beauty, hmph … I am afraid I would be an old woman by now."
Lin Muyu couldn't help but laugh.
"Brat, what are you laughing at?!" Ziyao was really acting like a big sister.
Lin Muyu smiled and said, "Tell me your story. Sister Ziyao, what were you like in the past?"
"In the past?"
Ziyao recalled and said, "I was born on a deserted planet. That plane was very polluted and monsters ran amok. When I was seven, my parents were killed by monsters. Later, I cultivated with my uncle and he taught me martial arts. Then, when I was twenty, my uncle was killed by a monster during a hunting mission. After that … after that, things became clear. I stepped into the Saint realm at the age of twenty-nine, stepped into the Immortal State at the age of sixty-two, and became an Emperor God a thousand years later. I defeated all the monsters in that plane with my own strength and was worshipped as a goddess. After that, my family and friends grew old and died one by one. I got bored and ascended to the Immortal State."
Lin Muyu: "…"
"Why aren't you talking?" Ziyao murmured.
Lin Muyu smiled and said, "You look gentle and weak, but in the past, you were a queen and a tough woman. I was just in a daze to show my respect."
Ziyao smiled and said, "You are quite interesting. No wonder you are so popular with girls!"
"Is that so?"
"Yes."
Ziyao looked around and said, "Start a fire and roast some food. You may not be able to have a good meal after you go to Ghost's Domain. Before that, you should rest up."
"Yes!"
