Chapter 120 Divine Ruins (1/2)

To the masses, divine ruins signified something that they could not comprehend and understand. However, the divine ruins that the lady boss mentioned, was an actual location.

No one knew much about where the place came from. Within it, there were a lot of rare items, and there were even occult techniques, supernatural powers, and things unfathomable to one’s imagination.

”Divine ruins” drifted between the heaven and the earth, and it never stops at one place purposefully. If one wanted to go in, one must have a token to the divine ruins.

The tokens to the divine ruins were actually things that came from the divine ruins, and because of the aura they carried, they would not be repelled during the entry to the divine ruins.

However, not a lot of people knew about it. Those who had been there before would not breathe a word about it when they came out. One could only discern traces of hints from Daoist scriptures, or through the calculation of an almighty.

There was an impressive individual from the Nine Lotus Secret Order who got into the divine ruins. The Sutra of Total Annihilation of the Dharma was a Dao formula brought out from the divine ruins.

If not for the fact of their previous relationship, lady boss Zhou Ling would not have taken such a risky move.

Because the both of them were from the same sect, they knew the root of certain things. The lady boss had tried to get the token back from Zhao Xiaoyu, but to no avail.

This was why Zhou Ling did not expect Zhao Xiaoyu to approach her.

Zhao Xiaoyu waved her sleeve, and there was an oval-shaped leaf between her porcelain-white fingers. The leave was green and thick. It emanated hints of warm light, and the tip was slightly curved downwards.

A hint of abstruse aura seeped through, and the room was brightened immediately.

Zhao Xiaoyu shook her fingertip, and the leaf floated towards the lady boss, eventually falling into her hands. The black air on her seemed to be frightened and retreated within seconds.

”You’re giving it back to me just like that?” The lady boss asked as she glanced at Zhao Xiaoyu.

”Senior Apprentice-Sister, did you think that I’m purposely going against you? Not to say that you might not have the established practices to find that place, even if you managed to find the place and cultivated supernatural power, you have no hope of challenging that person,” Zhao Xiaoyu sighed.

The lady boss remained silent and did not retort.

”With his level of cultivation, by the time you have successfully cultivated your supernatural power, she will definitely sense it. From thereon, she can work out the cause and effect. She has always been one to remove the weeds by digging up its roots, I’m afraid that the day you attained Dao would be the day you meet your end,” said Zhao Xiaoyu. Actually, the lady boss was fully aware of this without Zhao Xiaoyu’s mention.

She said it simply because she wanted to.

She wondered what made her Senior Apprentice-Sister decided to do it despite knowing that there was no chance of success. Given her character, there was no way that she could understand her Senior Apprentice-Sister even if she were to put herself in her Senior Apprentice-Sister’s shoes. To her, it all seemed too unreasonable, just like how Shen Lian refused to be emotionless.

The mortals were caught up in all of these because they were unaware of the Law of Detachment, and they did not have the prerequisite wisdom to understand it.

As for people like her who seek to be detached and posited themselves above the masses, there was truly no reason, and completely meaningless to be caught up in the hatred in the mortal world.

If it was not for the conflict in her Dao path and that of the Empress, she would be fine with putting the past behind her even if she was battling the Empress to death just moments before.

”Do you know the reason why I decided to break apart our relationship? Because when Master died, you were not sad at all, not even the least bit,” said the lady boss.

”But what is the point of being sad? If I were to die during my battle against her this time, would you be sad too?” Zhao Xiaoyu queried casually.

”Of course,” the lady boss replied.

”But I wouldn’t be sad even if you were to die,” Zhao Xiaoyu replied softly. When she was dwelling in the human realm, she could be gentle, and she could also be elegant and refined.

But that was merely a way to deal with matters when she was in the mortal realm; her heart of Dao remained the same through and through.
