Upon hearing Yi Yun's words, Lin Xintong was alarmed. She never expected Yi Yun to be so sharp that he could sense Bai Yueyin's soul sea. After all, although Bai Yueyin's body had been destroyed and her strength plummeted, she was still at an extraordinary realm despite being a soul body. It was difficult for others to detect her.
After a moment of hesitation, Lin Xintong nodded slowly.
Yi Yun's expression turned cold immediately. "Xintong, tell me. Is Bai Yueyin's goal in taking you in as a disciple so that she can possess you?"
"No." Lin Xintong shook her head and sighed. "It's not possession, but fusion. Master and I have fused as one. This is something that can't be helped. Master also has her own difficulties."
"Fusion?" Yi Yun snorted coldly. "Fusing as one? Isn't there a leader? Xintong, you are too kind and weak. With Bai Yueyin's domineering personality, she will definitely be the leader. You will slowly lose yourself. "
Lin Xintong fell silent for a moment before saying, "Master is not what you think. Besides, I was willing to fuse with her. I had my reasons …"
When Lin Xintong said that, Yi Yun's heart ached. He knew that a large part of Lin Xintong's reason was because of him. The Ancestor God had planted a tracing mark on him. If he did not kill the Ancestor God, it would be difficult for him to survive.
Yi Yun sighed and gently hugged Lin Xintong. "Regardless of what the future is like, I will face it with you. As for your master, she is the empress of the Sinkhole. She has been a Godly Monarch since ancient times and has lived to this day. Do you think you understand her?"
In this world, it was very difficult for a kind person to become a king. From her battle with the Ancestor God hundreds of millions of years ago to this day, Bai Yueyin had been fighting her entire life! Later, Bai Yueyin even opened up new lands and established an everlasting divine empire! How was one to understand such a person?
Lin Xintong remained silent. Yi Yun gathered his soul forces and sent them straight into Lin Xintong's glabella. "Xintong, open up your soul sea and let my consciousness enter. I want to see her. Besides, she should be waiting for me."
Now, Yi Yun had many things he wanted to clarify with Bai Yueyin, including the grudge he had with Azure Yang Lord.
Lin Xintong naturally did not resist Yi Yun's psyche forces. The next moment, Yi Yun entered Lin Xintong's psyche world.
The clear lake water was sparkling. Lin Xintong's soul sea was like a small world. The scenery was picturesque and beautiful.
Amidst the waves, there was a young girl with creamy skin. Her jet-black hair wantonly floated in the water like a blooming black rose. She was completely naked, but the lake was hidden in the water and could not be seen.
Bai Yueyin!
She was a peerless goddess that reigned supreme in the Sinkhole. Even though her body had been destroyed and she was only a soul, Yi Yun did not sense any weakness from her.
Yi Yun had mixed feelings when facing this woman. She had saved him, but she had also harmed the Azure Yang Lord. She had fought for the world, and she had also forced Lin Xintong into a dead end.
Bai Yueyin flew up and at the instant she stood up, the gurgling water adhered to her body, transforming into a blue chiffon dress.
Like a graceful butterfly, she lightly tapped the water with her toes and floated down to the shore.
She turned her head and looked at Yi Yun. The look in her eyes contained extremely mixed emotions. It looked like wistfulness, reminiscence, and also sadness …
This look left Yi Yun taken aback. He had come to denounce Bai Yueyin. Of course, he had also foiled Bai Yueyin's plans. He originally believed that Bai Yueyin would be infuriated or have eyes filled with killing intent, but he never expected Bai Yueyin to have such a reaction when she saw him.
"I never expected you to obtain his heritage. Furthermore … you have already cultivated to this stage."
"Oh?"
Yi Yun pricked up his brows. Bai Yueyin had actually said such a thing.
"When you defeated Divine General Skyjade, I saw your strength. That was Senior Lin's 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence …"
Senior Lin?
Yi Yun was taken aback. The Senior Lin that Bai Yueyin mentioned was likely the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch.
This was the first time Yi Yun was hearing the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch's surname. Years ago, the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch had come to the universe where the Sinkhole resided in search of Empress Sheng Mei. He established the Martial Dao and left behind his heritage. To the warriors of the Sinkhole, even the ancient Godly Monarchs, the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch was a lofty figure. He was like a legendary god. Ordinary people naturally addressed him as the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch, but Bai Yueyin addressed him as Senior Lin.
This made Yi Yun have a feeling that Bai Yueyin had likely met the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch before. Only then would she address him in such a manner. Compared to the other ancient mighty figures, Bai Yueyin's relationship with the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch was even closer …
"This is probably fate. Years ago, Senior Lin used his heritage to establish my Dao foundation. Now, you are using this heritage to sever my Dao … "
"Sever your Dao?" Yi Yun snorted coldly. "Your Dao is to possess your disciple? Your Dao is to disregard the kindness of the past and harm your own husband? "
Azure Yang Lord's death made Yi Yun hold a grudge against Bai Yueyin. He was greatly indebted to Azure Yang Lord, so if possible, he naturally wanted to avenge Azure Yang Lord.
"Kill my husband?" Bai Yueyin pricked up her brows.
Yi Yun waved his hand as a tiny black pagoda appeared out of thin air. It floated in his palm. "Don't tell me you don't recognize this pagoda …"
"God Advent Tower … So you are referring to Jian Qingyang." Bai Yueyin's expression was cold. "I never expected you to know of matters that happened tens of millions of years ago. You must have obtained Jian Qingyang's heritage, right?"
"That's right. I don't understand why you would harm Senior Azure Yang and why you would marry him. You are an ancient Godly Monarch that stands high and mighty. Senior Azure Yang is only a Royal Sealed Divine Lord. If not for you, even if he were to stop at the Divine Lord realm for the rest of his life, he would still enjoy ten million years of glory."
"Ten million years of glory? In the Universe's hundreds of millions of years of history, there are as many warriors as there are grains of sand in the Ganges River. Even living for millions of years is just an instant. Those below the Godly Monarch realm are all ants, and those above the Godly Monarch realm have to endure all sorts of shackles. No one is destined to enjoy glory. Life and death are fated by fate. The Jian Qingyang you speak of was tens of millions of years ago. When my soul was torn apart by my enemies, I used the Grand Reincarnation Technique to reincarnate, splitting my soul into 108,000 pieces. They were sent into unborn fetuses to sleep. When these women grew up, my consciousness would awaken. Jian Qingyang's wife has a wisp of my consciousness in her body. When all my consciousnesses awaken, they will finally fuse together. That will be my sixth life … "
"Splitting your soul into 108,000 pieces? Does this mean that you wiped out the consciousnesses of so many women in one go? "Yi Yun frowned. Although he was not a kind person, he did not like what Bai Yueyin had done.
"I had already planted my consciousness into them when they were fetuses. They are a part of me to begin with, but if you insist on believing that I robbed them of their consciousnesses, there's nothing wrong with that."
Bai Yueyin's voice was cold. She thought nothing of it.
Yi Yun took a deep breath. He knew that the woman standing in front of him had seen countless deaths in the long river of history. She had experienced too many joys and sorrows. The number of people she had killed with her own hands was probably innumerable.
Such a person had long become indifferent to everything.
The Heaven and Earth were heartless, treating all things like straw dogs. Bai Yueyin was a Godly Monarch who had lived for hundreds of millions of years. To ordinary people, she was like a god. In her eyes, all things were equal. Be it straw dogs or humans, they were just different forms of life.
"Yi Yun, I know what you are thinking. You have a tracing mark left behind by the Ancestor God in your body, but you have lofty aspirations. You are thinking of fighting the Ancestor God when you break through to the Godly Monarch realm! But you probably do not have the time. Besides, even if you break through to the Godly Monarch realm, you will not be able to break through the shackles of the Godly Monarch realm. You will ultimately not be the Ancestor God's match. "
"Godly Monarch shackles?" Yi Yun was taken aback. He recalled what Bai Yueyin had said. Those beneath the Godly Monarch realm were all ants, but those above the Godly Monarch realm had to endure the shackles.
Bai Yueyin sighed. "The Heavenly Dao is flawed. Hundreds of millions of years ago, the Ancestor God took away a corner of the Heavenly Dao. In ancient times, Godly Monarchs appeared in large numbers, but ever since then, the number of Godly Monarchs has dwindled. There hasn't been one in hundreds of millions of years because of this. It is also because of this that I find it difficult to make any progress in my cultivation. Back then, the Saint Queen Dowager cultivated the Grand Reincarnation Technique alone, but I had no choice but to borrow Xintong's strength. I have been plotting for so long, but your appearance has destroyed everything … "
Took away a corner of the Heavenly Dao? Upon hearing Bai Yueyin's words, Yi Yun was taken aback for quite a while. The Heavenly Dao was ethereal, yet the Ancestor God was able to take away a portion of it! This level of strength was simply horrifying!
"Therefore … with the Heavenly Dao being flawed, you are destined to be unable to become a perfect Godly Monarch. It's nearly impossible for you to defeat the Ancestor God. Over the hundreds of millions of years since the Heavenly Dao was flawed, there have been many geniuses who have become Godly Monarchs. However, their Godly Monarch realms are flawed. This is a shackle that they are unable to escape.
"After these people become Godly Monarchs, they have long lifespans. However, when they use the powers of a Godly Monarch, their cultivation levels will suffer and their lifespans will be burned. If they are constantly in battle, they will slowly reach the end of their lifespans. Their realms will drop, and they will die of old age. Therefore, most of the Godly Monarchs in the Sinkhole live in seclusion."
Upon hearing Bai Yueyin's words, Yi Yun was enlightened. It was no wonder the various factions in the Sinkhole, such as the First Beginnings Immortal Gate and the Great Cosmic State, did not have any Godly Monarchs presiding over them.
Apart from Bai Yueyin, there were no Godly Monarchs who came forward to establish a divine dynasty. Logically speaking, if the Sinkhole produced a Godly Monarch every hundred million years, with Godly Monarchs having terrifyingly long lifespans, there should be quite a number of Godly Monarchs in the Sinkhole.
It was normal for one or two Godly Monarchs to live in seclusion, but it would be odd if all the Godly Monarchs did so.
"I see …"
Yi Yun understood now. It was no wonder the major factions would choose to consecrate a Godly Monarch. They would provide the Godly Monarch with extremely precious treasures in exchange for a favor from the Godly Monarch, allowing the Godly Monarch to help their sect at critical moments.
Under the situation where the Heavenly Dao was flawed, this was indeed the best choice for the various Godly Monarchs.
"Looks like you don't have the shackles of a God King."
From the looks of it, Bai Yueyin was the only ancient Godly Monarch left!
Of all the mighty figures in the Sinkhole, only Bai Yueyin had broken through to the Godly Monarch realm before the Heavenly Dao was damaged. This was also the reason why she was able to establish the White Lunar Divine Empire.
It was no exaggeration to say that if Bai Yueyin wanted to, she could even unify the Sinkhole!
In a situation where the Heavenly Dao was flawed, which Godly King dared to fight Bai Yueyin?
"Since you don't have the shackles of a Godly Monarch, the Heavenly Dao being taken away by the Ancestor God has the least impact on you. The laws of this world are even beneficial to you. You are truly the strongest person in the world, but among all the Godly Monarchs, you are the only one fighting the Ancestor God, to the point of risking your life. Why? To save the world? Save yourself? … "
Bai Yueyin shook her head and said, "It's precisely because I don't have the shackles of a Heavenly Dao that I'm the only person in the Sinkhole who can threaten the Ancestor God's life. Why would He spare my life? Even if I didn't kill 'Him,' He 'would come to kill me. We are irreconcilable enemies. "
"The pinnacle of the Martial Dao is unreachable. Countless warriors who have climbed to the pinnacle have ultimately been reduced to dust. To escape Samsara, one has to reach his height. What's the point of living an ignoble existence?"
When Bai Yueyin said that, she let out a long sigh. Her beautiful eyes suffused a gloomy look.
Yi Yun knew that the 'he' Bai Yueyin was referring to was the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch!
This cold-blooded and heartless war queen would only reveal the weak emotions of a woman when she mentioned the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch.
Bai Yueyin had once mentioned that the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch had established her Dao foundation years ago. It was likely that the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch held an extraordinary place in her heart. This place was irreplaceable!
"Don't tell me … you plan on finding him?"
This thought suddenly surfaced in Yi Yun's mind. According to Godly Monarch River of Forgetfulness, the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch had left behind his heritage. After finding Empress Sheng Mei, he had already left this universe. He might have returned to the 33 Skies, but it was also possible that he had gone to another universe!
This world was far vaster than Yi Yun imagined. The Sinkhole and the 33 Skies were just two of them. Since there was such a massive world, why not explore it?
Yi Yun was inclined to believe that the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch had gone to explore a new universe with Empress Sheng Mei!
If that was the case, how could Bai Yueyin, who had lofty aspirations, be willing to stay in the Sinkhole?
Furthermore, she seemed to have special feelings for the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch …
This was also reasonable. No matter how cold-blooded and heartless Bai Yueyin was now, she was still a pure girl hundreds of millions of years ago. She could not help but feel admiration for the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch who had imparted her heritage and changed the trajectory of her life …
"You want to kill the Ancestor God to affirm your Dao?" asked Yi Yun suddenly.
Bai Yueyin looked at Yi Yun in surprise. "You sure are sharp. That's right. By killing the Ancestor God, I can obtain a corner of the Heavenly Dao. If I can refine it into my Intrinsic Royal Seal, it will be the only way to reach the peak of the Martial Dao. But that's too far away. Today, my body will be destroyed. You taking Xintong away is equivalent to severing my Dao. "
Upon hearing Bai Yueyin's words, Yi Yun heaved a sigh of relief. He understood that Bai Yueyin's life of war was never to save the world. The White Lunar Divine Empire and all the lives of the world were like fleeting clouds to her.
She only wanted to affirm her Dao.
Back when she met the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch, she was still extremely weak. She was far inferior to the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch and Empress Sheng Mei.
