Chapter 1745 Jialan and Si Xiaonan
The Dao and divine power intertwined above the lunar gap, with fragments of the Celestial Court splattering outward.
Lingbao Tianzun, supporting the Primordial Infinite Cave, single-handedly resisted the impact of the Ke system gods on the seal. His face visibly paled, and his figure swayed unsteadily.
Yuanshi Tianzun frowned, about to lend a hand when Lingbao Tianzun’s voice echoed in his ears:
“You two are too severely injured. Forcibly resisting the impact will cause backlash… If you still have strength left, you might as well cast a spell on the moon to move it as far away from Earth as possible.”
“Away from Earth? What are you planning to do?” Daode Tianzun asked.
Lingbao Tianzun looked at the surging Ke system gods below, a flash of ruthlessness appearing in his eyes.
“Since we can’t suppress them, we might as well perish together! Once the moon moves to a safe distance, I’ll detonate the Celestial Court’s origin source. Combined with my cultivation, even if I can’t kill them all, I can take down most of them!”
“Destroy the Celestial Court’s origin source?” Yuanshi Tianzun’s gaze intensified, but he eventually nodded.
Given the current situation, this might be the only option… although doing so would sacrifice the entire Daxia pantheon.
Yuanshi Tianzun and Daode Tianzun sat cross-legged simultaneously. Mysterious and magnificent Dao patterns flowed continuously from the void, quickly covering half the moon’s surface. From a distance, it looked like an ancient celestial formation.
As the two supreme divine powers poured into it, the formation quickly lit up. An invisible force made the moon break free from Earth’s gravity, slowly dragging it toward the depths of space.
Now that Yuanshi and Daode Tianzun were severely injured, although they couldn’t move a planet of Earth’s magnitude, moving the moon wasn’t difficult.
The moment this celestial formation appeared, the Daxia gods present noticed it.
“The moon is being moved… what are the Tianzuns planning to do?” asked the battered Taiyi Zhenren in confusion.
Jiang Ziya looked at the receding celestial body, as if guessing something, his expression somewhat complicated.
“It seems the Celestial Court is nearly at its wit’s end.”
“Is it that serious?”
Jiang Ziya shook his head without speaking. Just as he was about to look away, two streaks of light flew toward the ruined Celestial Court.
…
In the boundless deep space, Jialan’s figure slowly descended before a collapsed palace.
Her eyes were red, her tear-stained face filled with determination. She looked up to see a cracked plaque hanging above the palace.
—Doushuai Palace.
Just as Jialan was about to enter, a figure landed behind her. She turned around puzzled, facing what was to her a strange face.
“You are…”
“My name is Si Xiaonan.” Si Xiaonan paused, taking out a white chess piece from her bosom. “The Immortality Pill is with me.”
During the period when the [Nightfall] team interacted with Si Xiaonan, Jialan had already fallen into a deep sleep, so naturally she didn’t recognize the girl before her. Judging by appearance, this girl seemed about the same age as Lin Qiye… of course, she meant Lin Qiye before his transmigration.
Thinking about how such a young girl would end up like herself, sympathy and sorrow appeared in Jialan’s eyes. She smiled bitterly.
“I’m sorry to meet you here… My name is Jialan.”
“I know. Lin Qiye told me about you.” Si Xiaonan glanced at the ring on her fingertip, a touch of tenderness appearing in her eyes. “If not for this incident, I should have been giving you a big red envelope at your wedding as Lin Qiye’s senior…”
Jialan was stunned, a blush appearing on her face as she smiled gently. “Thank you.”
Si Xiaonan pushed open the distorted door of Doushuai Palace, producing a dull creaking sound. Although the exterior was severely damaged, the interior of the palace was still relatively well-preserved. A huge furnace stood in the center, as tall as seven or eight floors.
“I left in such a hurry… I forgot to ask exactly how to reforge the Eternal Pill,” Jialan murmured.
“See that furnace?”
“Yes.”
“Inside it is the Celestial Court’s Samadhi True Fire, which can incinerate our bodies completely while preserving the pills within. Then, using our souls as catalysts, we can forcibly reforge the two pills into the Eternal Pill,” Si Xiaonan calmly replied.
“How do you know?”
Si Xiaonan waved the faintly glowing white chess piece and said, “When I hold this chess piece, I can hear an emotionless voice speaking to me… Can’t you hear it?”
An emotionless voice… so it’s Destiny Monk teaching her, Jialan thought to herself.
“I don’t have a chess piece,” Jialan answered truthfully.
Si Xiaonan nodded. “Then just follow me.”
The two girls exchanged glances and simultaneously stepped into the hall. The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
“Did Lin Qiye ever tell you about the time at the Cangnan office when he helped a seventy-year-old woman investigate her husband’s affair?” Si Xiaonan asked casually as they walked.
Jialan blinked, seemingly not understanding why Si Xiaonan suddenly brought this up, but still shook her head.
“No.”
“That day, an old lady came to our office saying she suspected her husband was having an affair and wanted us to investigate… Sister Hongying was the one who received her, and after hearing the old lady’s love story, she was moved to tears.
To earn this extra money, Hongying brought in both me and Qiye to track her husband’s whereabouts. We took turns staking out near her home for three days… Guess what happened?”
“What happened?”
“We found nothing.”
“Why?”
“Because that old lady’s husband had actually passed away long ago.”
Hearing this, Jialan was slightly taken aback.
“Surprising, right? When Qiye told us this conclusion, we had the same reaction… For the first two days when her husband didn’t come home, we thought he really was having an affair, abandoning his home. But on the third day, after Qiye staked out for just a while, he discovered the truth.
Outside the old lady’s door, there were always two pairs of shoes – one was hers, and the other was a size larger, presumably her husband’s.
Because there was a flower bed right by the door, whenever the old lady went out, her shoes would be covered in soil. But the other pair not only had no soil but was covered in a thick layer of dust, as if no one had worn them for a long time… Later, Lin Qiye did some research and found that her husband had actually passed away two years ago.
In her home, we found several boxes of medication for treating senile dementia, all labeled with instructions on which to take each day and how many, but the medicine was all gone. The prescription date was also from over two years ago.
We asked around and learned that the elderly couple had no children. Those labels were probably written by her husband before he died. After his accidental death, she finished all the medicine without getting new prescriptions. Gradually, she forgot that her husband had died and thought he had just gone out, often searching for him alone in the neighborhood.
In those two years, she reported to the police three times and hired six or seven private detective agencies to find her missing husband. Of course, none succeeded. She slowly forgot about these attempts too and continued searching for her husband.”
Listening to Si Xiaonan’s story, Jialan became somewhat entranced. “Then what happened?”
