Chapter 30 Part 1: Bai Lian’s Sword Tempering Ceremony (1)
This radiance is not ordinary.
It was emitted by the solidification of [Divine Scroll], which was actually Xianyuan Emperor’s blood.
The Divine Scroll crafted by the Xianyuan Emperor and the Witch Queen is certainly no ordinary artifact.
It is so sturdy that even if it was burned with the Nine Heavens Profound Fire of the Demigod, it would not be damaged!
The Witch Queen had originally intended to add a wisp of ghostly essence so that the Divine Scroll could endure an Immortal Emperor’s attack even for a moment.
But in the end, she gave up on this plan.
Because the ghostly essence was always unable to resist the immense pressure when crossing the barrier.
Unable to even take a breath!
What about that?
Among the group of Immortal Emperors, Witch Queen is famously narcissistic.
Despite her narcissism, she didn’t believe that she could break free from the constraints of the Great Tao, which even Heavenly Lords were unable to break.
The power of the Immortal Emperor cannot be brought down to the mortal realm.
The Witch Queen had to settle for second best.
Considering that the world where the East Divine Land is located is merely an inconspicuous “lower realm”, integrating ghostly essence into the Divine Scroll doesn’t seem to be a matter of concern.
“Can several powerful reincarnated Immortal Emperors emerge from that run-down place at the same time?”
Laugh to death.
The Witch Queen merely added some other characteristics to the Divine Scroll, enabling it to possess an extremely powerful ability to break through the barriers of space, and even to roam through the river of time!
In this way, even if the Divine Scroll falls into a realm where it is difficult to convey messages – such as the Corridor of Time – as long as Yue Wuyang can trigger it in time, it can fly back to Xianyuan Emperor’s side on its own.
The Witch Queen didn’t deliberately conceal these things, so Yue Wuyang, as the executor, was aware of them.
But precisely because she knew it, she felt incredulous.
“Why did it fly back?”
In this realm of the East Divine Land, even the Celestial Immortals can only exert power that is comparable to that of Human Immortals.
And since the Immortal Emperor and the Heavenly Lord couldn’t have come here by normal means, who could possess the strength to retrieve the Divine Scroll?
This answer also troubled Bai Lian.
However, Bai Lian’s thoughts were not as profound as Yue Wuyang’s, and she soon caught a familiar scent from the Divine Scroll.
“This is…”
Bai Lian clutched the Divine Scroll close to her chest.
I remind you of it!
Isn’t this the body scent of Xia Qingqing?
They had spent so much time together, how could she forget Xia Qingqing’s scent?
Bai Lian suddenly looked up.
What met her eyes was a sparkling starry sky, clear enough to stir the heart.
There was not a single iota of excess brightness on the island this evening.
There was no sound of human presence, only the clear sound of waves surging back and forth on the vast and endless sea.
“Dong Dong Dong -”
Bai Lian’s heart rate inexplicably accelerated.
She understood.
The person who forced the flowing light to return must be Xia Qingqing!
She said she wanted to go to the starry sky to protect the East Divine Land, so there is such a meaning hidden inside?
Bai Lian was hard-pressed not to feel moved.
Even though she knew that the news Yue Wuyang brought back had nothing to do with her.
If that news is related to her and Xia Qingqing is not there, then her and her master’s existence will be completely exposed to Xianyuan Emperor and Witch Queen.
Placed in the past, the master could have made those two convulse with friction just by using the tip of her toe.
But now times have changed.
Those two can easily sink the entire East Divine Land with just one of them.
“Is this luck?”
Bai Lian was uncertain.
She no longer cared about this.
Her body, originally tense and filled with extreme anger, was now completely exhausted like a leaking vessel after the burden on her heart had been lifted.
Clap!
Bai Lian’s legs gave way, and she fell to the ground.
Her body was covered in tiny drops of sweat as if she had just been pulled out of the water, and even the stone under her buttocks had become wet.
This action should have been very gentle, not enough to shake Yue Wuyang.
But Yue Wuyang took a fatal blow to her abdomen and infused most of her life force into Bai Lian’s body.
She was so weak that Bai Lian knocked her over directly.
Bang!
She fell over to Bai Lian.
Bai Lian, who was facing the impact directly, was struck so hard that she became dizzy and disoriented.
Son of a bitch!
Bai Lian struggled to lift her head and looked at Yue Wuyang, who was sitting on her chest. She wished she could just bite off Yue Wuyang’s chest.
In the end, she resorted to a more gentle approach.
She grabbed Yue Wuyang’s hand tightly, and with her other hand she yanked on Yue Wuyang’s collar, pulling her within half a foot’s distance.
“What exactly do you want to do?” Bai Lian questioned loudly.
She was completely unable to comprehend the current situation.
She only knew that the system’s judgment was not wrong, and that meeting Yue Wuyang indeed had little risk.
“I…”
Yue Wuyang’s deep purple pupils violently fluctuated.
The scent that came with the sweat made her already dazed mind even more difficult to turn.
Even the charming Witch Queen didn’t make her feel this way.
Hmm.
Anyway, let me explain a bit first.
Yue Wuyang began to cough as soon as she opened her mouth.
“*coughing sound*…”
“You!”
Bai Lian furrowed her brow.
She released Yue Wuyang and gently patted her chest and back with her hand.
After a good while, Yue Wuyang finally regained her composure.
There was a bloodstain on the corner of her mouth, and her face was somewhat unusually flushed. The sword in her abdomen had been pulled out, but the bleeding hadn’t stopped for a while.
“Almost, just a little more.”
“?”
Yue Wuyang grasped Bai Lian’s hand and said, “Allow me to finish what I was previously engaged in, and once completed, I shall reveal what I intend to disclose.”
Who permitted you to do that?!
Bai Lian opened Yue Wuyang’s hand.
“Tell me now, or else don’t blame me for being impolite!”
Yue Wuyang was not scared, “I don’t have time, if I don’t do it now, I won’t have the opportunity to do it later.”
Bai Lian remains unmoved, “Don’t make excuses. Your injury is severe, but not fatal. Speak quickly.”
She reached out and pressed against Yue Wuyang’s vital spot. With just a little force, she could pierce through it.
Yue Wuyang remained silent for quite some time.
She knew that Bai Lian appeared soft, but in reality, she was very tough; tough enough to withstand almost anything.
She could only cater to Bai Lian now.
Yue Wuyang said, “As I mentioned earlier, even though my Master sees me as a tool, it cannot be denied that my Master gives everything I have.”
So what?
Bai Lian raised an eyebrow.
Yue Wuyang spoke again, her tone steady but heavy. “A tool only holds value if it’s useful. Whatever my master commands, I obey. He sent me to search for the Immortal Heavenly Lord—so I came. That was the way it should’ve been, but…”
Alas.
A sigh suddenly rose.
Yue Wuyang winced and remarked, “I cannot harm you right now. Even if you stood before me vulnerable, I would still be unable to fulfill my duty, as it can no longer go as intended.”
“…”
Bai Lian’s countenance appeared peculiar.
The atmosphere seemed to have become tense.
She said, “Actually, I am not the Immortal Heavenly Lord, truly!”
Yue Wuyang shook her head.
Bai Lian grew anxious. “I swear, I’m not! Don’t make up nonsense. That’s a terrible habit—everything needs proof. The Immortal Heavenly Lord holds the eight paths of the Great Tao; I can’t even grasp one.”
No, you do!
I have no way of the Great Tao!
You have, and certainly more than one!
No!
Two pairs of eyes stared at each other for quite some time, but in the end, Yue Wuyang was the one who admitted defeat.
“Yes, Yue Wuyang has not yet discovered the existence of the Immortal Heavenly Lord and she is still in pursuit of her.”
Bai Lian smiled with relief.
After careful consideration, she felt that imprisoning Yue Wuyang would be a safer option.
However, to avoid the watchful eyes of her master, she had to find a place that was not easily detectable.
At this moment, Yue Wuyang suddenly said, “I want to make my master realize this point, but deceiving him is not an easy thing to do, as my master can sense my vitality, thus I must stay alive.”
What on earth are you talking about?
“So I thought of a perfect solution!” Yue Wuyang laughed. “All I have to do is transfer all of my life force into your body before I die, and my master won’t be aware of my passing. This could at least buy Immortal Heavenly Lord ten more years.”
Bai Lian suspected that Yue Wuyang had been driven mad by her stabbing.
“Since you want to live, why don’t you just ignore me?”
“I can no longer continue living.”
“?”
Yue Wuyang’s expression stayed cold, unwavering. “Everything I am belongs to my master. I am nothing more than a tool in his hands. But I have failed. A broken tool is worthless. The only way to repay his grace— is with my life.”
“Ah…”
Bai Lian’s face changed and her heart tightened slightly.
She saw that Yue Wuyang was still laughing!
What kind of inner strength allowed Yue Wuyang to laugh in the face of such contradictory circumstances?
If it were her…
Ah.
She will definitely lose her poise.
Bai Lian grasped Yue Wuyang’s wrist tightly.
Yue Wuyang said, “That’s all I have to say. While there isn’t much loss yet, let me quickly infuse the remaining vitality into your body.”
Bai Lian shook her head this time and said, “Why didn’t you tell me beforehand?”
“You don’t approve of my decision.”
“Who said that?”
“Your temperament is like this.”
Bai Lian straightened her back as if she had been prodded and declared, “Nonsense! Do you really think I’m a Natural Saint? To be honest, it’s all a facade! My heart is incredibly dark, and my craftiness and deceit are unmatched in this world. Even those who seem friendly with me are expertly maneuvered by me!”
She flashed through the game screen in her mind, planning to give Yue Wuyang a scare by citing a few examples.
Yue Wuyang decisively shook her head, “I don’t believe it.”
Well!
How dare you still not believe it!
Then today, I will make you believe it!
