37 Bai Yueyins Dao (1/2)
Chapter 1549: Bai Yueyin's Dao
Upon hearing Yi Yun's question, Lin Xintong was given a shock. She never expected Yi Yun to be so keen to notice Bai Yueyin's soul in her soul sea. After all, although Bai Yueyin's physical body was destroyed which resulted in a drastic drop in strength, her soul still had an extraordinary realm, making it difficult for others to detect her.
After some hesitation, Lin Xintong nodded slowly.
Yi Yun's expression turned cold instantly. ”Xintong, tell me. Was Bai Yueyin's goal of recruiting you as a disciple because she wanted to possess you?”
”No.” Lin Xintong shook her head. She sighed, ”It's not possession but fusion. Master and I will fuse as one. There's actually no choice in the matter. Master has her difficulties as well.”
”Fuse?” Yi Yun snorted. ”Doesn't fusing as one still require a main person in control? Xintong, you are too kind and weak. With Bai Yueyin's strong personality, she would definitely be the main person in control. You will slowly lose yourself.”
Lin Xintong remained silent for a while before saying, ”Master isn't what you think she is. Besides, I agreed to the fusion of my own free will. I also have my reasons as there are no alternatives…”
When Lin Xintong said that, Yi Yun felt his heart wince for her. He knew that Lin Xintong's reason had partially to do with him. He had been planted with a tracing mark by the Ancestor God. If the Ancestor God was not killed, he would hardly survive His pursuit.
Yi Yun sighed as he gently hugged Lin Xintong. ”Regardless of what the future entails, we will face it together. As for your master, she is an empress of the Sinkhole. She was a Godly Monarch since ancient times and has lived all this while. Do you think you understand her?”
In this world, it was very difficult for kindhearted people to stand above the rest. From the battle with the Ancestor God hundreds of millions of years ago to this present day, Bai Yueyin had been engaging in battles her entire life! Later, Bai Yueyin had even established her own dominion, creating a divine empire that appeared to last for all eternity! How could such a person be seen through so easily?
Lin Xintong remained silent. Yi Yun focused his psyche forces as he penetrated straight into Lin Xintong's glabella. ”Xintong, open up your soul sea to allow my psyche entry. I wish to meet her. Besides, she is likely waiting for me as well.”
Yi Yun had many things to say at that moment. He wanted to question Bai Yueyin, which included the grudge regarding Azure Yang Lord.
Lin Xintong naturally did not resist Yi Yun's psyche strength. The next moment, Yi Yun had entered into Lin Xintong's mental world.
Lin Xintong's soul sea was like a pocket world containing a clear lake with crystalline water. It was picturesque and too beautiful to be fully appreciated at once.
Amid the crystalline water was a girl with supple skin. Her raven black hair cascaded down freely into the water like a blooming black rose. She was naked, but it was impossible to make out anything from the water's concealment.
Bai Yueyin!
She was the peerless woman that stood atop the Sinkhole. Despite only having a soul body after having her body destroyed, Yi Yun could not sense anything weak about her.
Against this woman, Yi Yun had highly conflicted emotions. She had saved him, but she had also harmed Azure Yang Lord. In order to fight for the world, she had forced Lin Xintong into a path of oblivion.
Bai Yueyin flew up and at the moment she turned around, the flowing water settled above her body as it transformed into a blue gauze robe.
She was as light as a butterfly. Her toe tapped gently on the water's surface as she gently landed by the bank.
She turned back and looked at Yi Yun. Her eyes were filled with extremely conflicted feelings. They were like wistful thoughts or recollections of the past, as well as sadness…
The look in her eyes startled Yi Yun a little. He had planned on interrogating Bai Yueyin. Of course, he had also destroyed Bai Yueyin's plans. He believed that she would be angry or have eyes filled with killing intent, but Yi Yun never expected to see such a reaction from her.
”I never expected you to inherit his heritage. Furthermore… you have already cultivated to this stage.”
”Oh?”
Yi Yun's brows pricked up. He was surprised that Bai Yueyin would say something like that.
”Back when I saw you defeat Divine General Skyjade, I saw your strength. That's Senior Lin's 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence…”
Senior Lin?
Yi Yun was taken aback. Bai Yueyin was likely referring to the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch.
This was also the first time Yi Yun was hearing the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch's surname. Back when the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch came to seek Empress Sheng Mei, he came into the universe containing the Sinkhole. He kickstarted the Martial Dao and left behind heritages. To the warriors in the Sinkhole, even for those Ancient Godly Monarchs, the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch was a lofty figure. He was like a god or legend. People would usually address him as the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch, but Bai Yueyin had addressed him as Senior Lin.
This gave Yi Yun a feeling that Bai Yueyin had met the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch before. That was the only explanation for the way she addressed him. And compared to other ancient mighty beings, Bai Yueyin's relationship with the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch was likely even deeper…
”This is probably fate. Back then, Senior Lin established my foundation with his heritage. And now, you are using the same heritage to sever my Dao…”
”Sever your Dao?” Yi Yun snorted coldly. ”Your Dao is to possess your disciple? Is your Dao to ignore past feelings and to harm your own husband?”
Azure Yang Lord's death made Yi Yun harbor unpleasant feelings towards Bai Yueyin. He was greatly indebted to Azure Yang Lord, and if it was possible, he naturally wanted to avenge him.
”Kill my husband?” Bai Yueyin's brows pricked up.
Yi Yun waved his hand, causing a tiny black pagoda to appear out of thin air as it floated above his palm. ”Don't tell me you do not recognize this pagoda…”
”The God Advent Tower… So you were referring to Jian Qingyang.” Bai Yueyin wore a cold expression. ”I never expected you to know what happened tens of millions of years ago. You must have received Jian Qingyang's heritage, right?”
”Yes. I can't understand why you harmed Senior Azure Yang and why you married him. You were an Ancient Godly Monarch, a lofty existence. Senior Azure Yang was merely a Royal Sealed Divine Lord. If not for you, he would enjoy a illustrious life for tens of millions of years even if he ceased to improve beyond that of a Divine Lord.”
”Illustrious life for tens of millions of years? In the universe's billions of years of history, there have been as many warriors in the world as there are sand. Just living for a few million years is only but an instant. Everything beneath Godly Monarchs are ants. And above Godly Monarchs, one has to bear the burden of shackles. No one is destined to live an illustrious life. Life and death are fated. To fall before reaching the pinnacle of the Martial Dao will only reduce one to pieces. It also means that the light shining from providence on that individual is insufficient. The Jian Qingyang you speak of… Tens of millions of years ago, my soul had been shattered by the enemy. I used the Grand Reincarnation Technique to split my soul into 18,000 fragments. They were imbued into unborn fetuses and laid dormant. When these girls grew up, my consciousness awakened. Jian Qingyang's wife had a wisp of my consciousness. When all my consciousness awakened and finally fused, that would meant my sixth incarnation…”
”Your soul was split into 18,000 fragments? Doesn't that mean you wiped out the consciousness of that many girls at once?” Yi Yun frowned. Although he was not a kind person, he did not like Bai Yueyin's actions.
”I had planted my consciousness into them when they were still fetuses. They were a part of me to begin with. But if you insist that I had robbed them of their consciousness, there is nothing to be said against it.”
