Chapter 270 - Chapter 270: 270 Mana Triple Heaven (1/2)
Chapter 270: 270 Mana Triple Heaven
[…A major battle royale took place, and eventually, an unknown Unleaking Realm powerhouse survived till the end and seized the Human Emperor’s sword. He was about to kill you all to eliminate the witnesses when a force awakened within Chu Xiyue, severely injuring him. He used the Human Emperor’s sword to tear open space and flee, disappearing without a trace. ]
[You and Chu Xiyue continue to cultivate arduously within the Cold Moon Immortal Palace.]
[Five years later, Chu Xiyue steps into the Mana Realm.]
[Another ten years later, Chu Xiyue steps into the Unleaking Realm.]
[One day, the space tears open, and the Unleaking Realm powerhouse who wields the Human Emperor’s sword appears. You and Chu Xiyue join forces; eventually, all three of you perish together. You died at the age of thirty-seven. ]
Success!
Gu Yang’s heart brims with joy, having finally found a way out of this gridlock.
He had refrained from unlocking the secret realm of the Human Emperor’s sword, and indeed, at a critical moment, it was able to save his life.
Truth be told, that Unleaking Realm powerhouse from the Xia Dynasty had saved him many times.
However, the final battle among the five Unleaking Realm powerhouses within the Cold Moon Immortal Palace resulted in the deaths of four, illustrating just how fraught the situation was.
He didn’t know who came out as the final victor.
This person returned for a killing spree fifteen years later, most likely mastering some of the powers of the Human Emperor’s sword, managing to die alongside him and Chu Xiyue.
[Simulation over. You can retain one of the following.]
[One, martial arts realm at the age of thirty-seven.]
[Two, martial arts experience at the age of thirty-seven.]
[Three, life wisdom at the age of thirty-seven.]
“I choose the first one.”
Inside the Qi Feng Pavilion, the candlelight is bright.
Su Ningyan is still sitting at the table, looking at the brass mirror, her expression somewhat melancholic.
This mirror is called the Split-light Mirror. It consists of a mother mirror and nine subsidiary mirrors.
No matter how far apart they are, the mother mirror and subsidiary mirrors can relay information in real time.
Previously, when she was at the Duke’s mansion and “older sister” was at the palace, they communicated through this mirror.
Now, the mirror remains, but the person is no longer there.
The relationship between her and “older sister” is not as simple as that between an embodiment and its external form.
When she was young, she accidentally stumbled into an ancient Immortal’s cave dwelling.
There, she obtained a dragon pearl and a method to cultivate an external incarnation.
Being young and naive, she found it intriguing and began practicing.
Ordinarily, one must be in the Mana Realm to successfully practice the externality technique. Yet, her extraordinary talent allowed her to succeed even in a muddled state, truly creating an external incarnation.
However, her original spirit was too weak to control two physical bodies simultaneously. Soon, the external incarnation developed self-awareness, an independent personality, and became her “older sister”.
Later, they met a woman and accepted her as their master.
Their master wanted them to enter the palace to find a certain item.
Bold and unwilling to lead an ordinary life, the “older sister” volunteered to enter the palace, and by a twist of fate, she became the empress.
Their destinies underwent a dramatic change from that point onwards.
As their cultivation levels rose, they understood that they originated from the same entity and that they would inevitably have to face each other one day, whether one of them succumbed to the other or vice versa.
The victor would swallow the whole of the defeated, merging back into one.
This was why they had flawless teamwork, yet faced each other like enemies whenever they met.
In the end, as the main body, Su Ningyan won this victory, inheriting everything from her “older sister” and, with the help of the dragon pearl, directly stepped into the Mana Realm.
She abandoned her identity as Miss Su Er and became the empress, inheriting “older sister’s” aspirations.
Now, the brass mirror remains, yet the person has passed.
“Rest assured, I will retain the Great Zhou’s territories for you. I will also win over the man you desired…”
Su Ningyan murmured, her expression suddenly changing as she turned to look in a certain direction.
“What’s this…”
In that direction resided Gu Yang, whose aura was suddenly skyrocketing.
After a while, his aura soared again.
Once, twice, three times…
Su Ningyan’s expression went from surprise to astonishment and then to dullness.
All that she could think about at that time was: So, this is how he cultivates?
No wonder his progress is so rapid. His progress in a few breaths’ time is equivalent to others’ painstaking efforts over several years. It’s like, he’s quite literally flying.
