Chapter 1055 The Forger of the Star Blade
Why did she say this?
Lin Qiye looked into Si Xiaonan’s eyes, as if remembering something. “Xiaonan…”
Before he could finish, Si Xiaonan flashed past him, and as her figure swept by his side, a whisper drifted into his ear.
“Let me go.”
Lin Qiye’s body trembled.
Before he could do anything, Si Xiaonan’s palm pressed against his shoulder, a black light flashing between her fingers.
Lin Qiye felt the world spinning as he was sent flying backward, crashing through a wall of the Elixir Palace and embedding deep into the ground.
Si Xiaonan seized the opportunity to flee, her form flickering as she created three shadow clones, each rushing in different directions.
Lin Qiye coughed as he stood up from the deep crater, his eyes scanning the four figures of Si Xiaonan flying in different directions. His brow furrowed as he reached for the Tiancong Cloud Sword from its scabbard, gripping it in his hand.
He didn’t need to know which one was Si Xiaonan’s true form. He could simply activate [Mortal Divine Domain], and the miracle would naturally guide the Tiancong Cloud Sword to strike Si Xiaonan’s true form. With the sword that could cut through anything, Si Xiaonan would have no chance of escaping.
But just as he raised the Tiancong Cloud Sword, Si Xiaonan’s words flashed through his mind, and his hand stopped in mid-air.
After a moment of silence, he sighed and lowered the sword.
He chose to trust Si Xiaonan.
Although he didn’t know exactly what had happened, Si Xiaonan’s mention of the green shore flower was meant to send him a signal…
Si Xiaonan was still the same Si Xiaonan from Squad 136 in Cangnan City years ago.
Lin Qiye stood at the broken entrance of the Elixir Palace, looking up at the sky.
…
Above the Jade Pool.
The Queen Mother of the West’s golden purple divine robe swayed gently in the wind. Holding the Kunlun Mirror, she coldly looked down at the wounded Loki among the mountains.
Then, as if sensing something, she turned to look in the direction Si Xiaonan had fled.
Her brows immediately furrowed.
Seeing that Si Xiaonan had succeeded, Loki’s lips curled into a smile. He coughed up several mouthfuls of crimson blood as strange black light flickered around his body once more.
The next moment, both Loki and the Queen Mother struck simultaneously, targeting Si Xiaonan in the distance.
The Queen Mother extended her jade-like hand and made a grasping motion in the air toward Si Xiaonan. A mighty divine power swept forth.
Si Xiaonan felt the spiritual energy around her suddenly churning as palm prints condensed from the void, covering the sunlight like a cyan sky.
Looking up, Si Xiaonan saw a seemingly endless palm slowly curling. Under this giant hand, her figure was as insignificant as an ant, about to be crushed like one.
At that moment, she felt the world spinning, and when she came to her senses, she had escaped from under the palm and was being held by her collar, suspended in mid-air by Loki.
Loki’s gaze swept over the two elixir bottles in Si Xiaonan’s hand. His pale lips curved upward slightly, his eyes showing approval.
“Good. Take them back to Asgard.”
Loki’s voice was extremely weak. He wove a “trick” in his palm that directly enveloped Si Xiaonan, and the next moment, her figure vanished from Kunlun Void.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother’s icy expression remained unchanged. Looking down at Loki, she said calmly:
“Do you really think you can leave the borders of Great Xia?”
Loki kept one hand behind his back, black light gathering at his fingertips, and sneered:
“You’re just a projection created by a divine artifact, so you probably can’t leave this place, right?
I admit I’m no match for you, but if I want to leave, there aren’t many in this world who can stop me.
If your true self were here, perhaps I really couldn’t escape, but now… what gives you the right to stop me?”
As his words fell, Loki’s narrow eyes narrowed, a streak of black light flashed, and his figure vanished from Kunlun Void.
The Queen Mother stood calmly in the air, seemingly making no effort to stop him. After Loki had completely left Kunlun Void, she merely glanced lightly at where he had been standing, then turned and took a step, appearing above the Elixir Palace in the next moment.
Lin Qiye stood at the entrance of the Elixir Palace. Seeing the Queen Mother approaching through the air, he raised both hands in a respectful salute:
“Mortal Lin Qiye pays respects to the Queen Mother.”
The Queen Mother nodded slightly. Her gaze fell on the fallen maids in the hall, and she sighed softly.
“So be it. You’ve been through enough.”
With a slight lift of her fingertip, the five fallen maids’ bodies began to glow with different divine lights, transforming into round jade beads that flew into the Queen Mother’s palm and began to spin.
At the same time, a green jade bead rapidly flew over from the distant celestial palace, joining the other five. After spinning together briefly, they intertwined to form a six-colored bead bracelet that gently settled on the Queen Mother’s wrist.
Seeing this, Lin Qiye exclaimed in surprise:
“They weren’t human?”
“Merely pearl souls nurtured by magical treasures,” the Queen Mother gently rubbed the jade beads with dulled luster and slowly continued, “The Jade Pool has been abandoned for a hundred years, and even the gods of Great Xia have entered reincarnation. Where would palace maids come from?
For these hundred years, it has been these six pearl souls keeping company with me.”
Hearing this, Lin Qiye was slightly stunned. “A hundred years? Queen Mother, did you not enter reincarnation a hundred years ago?”
The Queen Mother extended her hand, pointing toward the celestial palace at the center of the Jade Pool. “My true self naturally entered reincarnation. Only this projection, borrowing the power of the Kunlun Mirror’s time shadow, has remained in seclusion here.”
“Then for these hundred years, with only pearl souls for company, haven’t you felt lonely?”
The Queen Mother shook her head slightly and replied with a smile: “I usually spend my days forging knives and swords. When bored, I summon the shadow of the Peach Banquet to drink and discuss the Dao with the immortals. Living alone for a hundred years hasn’t been uninteresting.”
So the time shadow of the Kunlun Mirror also has the wonderful use of passing time… Lin Qiye couldn’t help but marvel.
“The Queen Mother also forges knives and swords?”
“Of course.” The Queen Mother extended her hand, pointing to the cloak behind Lin Qiye, and smiled slightly. “The knives of your Night Watchers were forged by my own hands.”
Hearing this, Lin Qiye froze in place.
After a moment, he came back to his senses, his mouth uncontrollably opening wide, his eyes filled with shock:
“The Star Knife was crafted by you? You’ve known about the Night Watchers all along?”
In Lin Qiye’s understanding, the Queen Mother living in seclusion in Kunlun Void and the Night Watchers should have been entities from two different worlds. He never imagined that the standard straight knife of the Night Watchers was actually forged by the Queen Mother from mythology.
It was as absurd as if someone in modern society suddenly told you that the brand-name clothes you’re wearing were actually created by Chang’e flying down from the moon.
