383: Chapter 99: He, She 383: Chapter 99: He, She The sky above collapsed, white paper like snow, and fire burning through the clouds spread in all directions.
Faint traces of azure light, however, were converging in the palm of the young girl.
Ultimately, they coalesced into a fish swimming gracefully.
“Divine Fruit…”
Xie Xuanyi’s gaze held a complexity.
This swimming fish was precisely what he had glimpsed many years ago on Snow Mountain, where Gang Qi twined in the void, faintly exuding a fragrant aroma.
But upon a closer look, one would discover.
Within this Gang Qi.
It wasn’t a true “Divine” being that was gestating, but it was formed by strands and strands of azure Tao Rules!
This was a Divine Fruit condensed by Ruyi Dao, different from the fruits naturally born from Heaven and Earth…
The Ruyi Dao could imitate many things in this world, Emperor Qi’s Tao stemmed from the human heart, towards the Heart Sea it progressed, as the heart desires, so could it mimic the intentions of the heart.
Unfortunately, objects condensed from Tao Rules were after all man-made creations.
This fruit had no chance to reach “Great Success.”
Nor was it likely to give birth to a consciousness and comprehend the Dao on its own.
However, if Xie Xuanyi had consumed it years ago, he could have resolved his regrets, created a Divine Embryo, and forged a second path.
Xie Xuanyi did not take the Divine Fruit that was condensed from the azure Tao Rules.
He looked up and asked softly, “This fruit…
I no longer need it now, can it be transformed back into Ruyi Dao?”
This question made Qing Li pause for a moment.
She furrowed her brows, looking at the young man before her.
“It certainly can be done.”
Qing Li spoke slowly: “Do you have any other wishes?”
Thousands of years of reincarnation, thousands of years of fierce battles.
Qing Li’s Divine Sea too had sustained considerable damage…
Facing the request of the young man before her, her first reaction was that this young man had changed his mind, perhaps desiring something else, or maybe harboring a greater wish.
“There is a wild thought I have.”
Xie Xuanyi’s gaze settled on the woman enveloped and gathered by countless Holy Light.
Brilliant rays descended here.
The Heaven and Earth Dao rang out like bells, and at this moment, the pathway between Great Yue Kingdom’s Secret Realm and the outer parts of Snow Mountain was completely opened, and the ironclad rules of the Dao from the outside world also descended here…
This time, Xie Xuanyi saw it clearly, these Dao rules blazing like the sun scorched the woman’s green robe, searing her dharma body, and causing plumes of azure smoke to rise!
This world would not allow her to linger for long.
His earlier speculations were not wrong.
Qing Li…
was being repelled by this world!
“Speak.
I have only half an incense stick’s time left.”
Although there wasn’t much time, Qing Li remained calm and serene.
Her gaze towards the young man carried a hint of pity.
She could clearly see.
This “young man” bore quite some fortune, his cultivation of Divine Soul was incredibly solid, only a hair’s breadth away from being a Yang God.
Whether it was his foundation or natural talent, he was among the very best…
Truly an excellent seedling.
Through thousands of years of Reincarnation, she experienced different lives, and even though the mute girl’s current life was very short, she had acquired precious memories.
The mute girl got along well with Xie Xuanyi.
She didn’t mind giving him some guidance in her final moments.
The path of cultivation is long.
If, because of the fortune of “Ruyi Dao,” wild thoughts are enlarged, leading astray from the path, it would be a pity.
“Senior.”
Xie Xuanyi paused for a moment, and he didn’t immediately present his request but instead first asked, “You…
do not belong to this era, do you?”
Qing Li was somewhat surprised.
She smiled and said, “The human world is vast, and a thousand years have passed.
As I am about to depart, naturally I do not belong to this era.”
“What I meant to say is…
from Emperor Qi’s era, a thousand years ago…”
Xie Xuanyi pointed towards the Great Yue Imperial Palace below, which had been exposed to the surface of the earth because of the great battle.
The once magnificent palace had almost entirely collapsed.
Only the central sacrificial platform remained intact.
This was the “Immortal Ascension Platform” constructed by all of Emperor Qi’s resources, also known as the “Dragon-slaying Platform”!
Nine million beings met their fate because of it.
Ever since stepping into Great Yue.
Xie Xuanyi had always felt that something was amiss.
A nation exterminated dragons.
A thousand years ago, with the depletion of Primordial Energy, the Dragon Phoenix vanished, and this world entered its last “Golden Age.”
Emperor Qi, who aspired to ascend to immortality…
From where, did he summon this “True Dragon”?
The battle between the two celestial beings was undoubtedly earth-shattering.
But no matter how intense the battle raged…
it wouldn’t have caused the entire Great Yue Kingdom to sink beneath the Snow Mountain, never to see the light of day again.
The Black Evil enveloping Great Yue Kingdom was clearly under someone’s deliberate control.
With the end of the great war and the descent of the Heaven and Earth Dao,
Xie Xuanyi’s puzzle gradually unfolded, and a bold conjecture formed in his mind.
Qing Li, in fact, did not belong to Emperor Qi’s era.
She came from a much more distant past.
This was the reason behind the thousands of years of Reincarnation and Qing Li’s continuous pursuit of her past…
The souls sacrificed by Emperor Qi from the Great Yue Kingdom were rootless wanderers.
Similarly, so was Qing Li.
With nowhere to belong, no home to return to.
“Xie Xuanyi, do you wish to know the story from back then?”
Looking at the young man before her, Qing Li just gave a gentle smile, then she looked up at the grand sun above.
The Black Evil dissipated, with snowflakes fluttering around, and the Dao like the blue sky, sought to incinerate her into ashes.
Without becoming a True Immortal, one cannot wander freely.
Qing Li’s clothes were burning under the fierce sunshine.
She extended a snow-white palm, lightly scooping in the void, causing it to ripple.
For a thousand years, Great Yue Kingdom was submerged, wrapped in a black canopy of evil energy, which had suppressed this ancient country for a millennium.
Now, with Emperor Qi’s death, the Black Evil likewise vanished, returning into the void.
Qing Li plucked a strand of the Black Evil and unfolded her palm before Xie Xuanyi.
Xie Xuanyi did not hesitate, he reached out to receive it.
The fragmented memories of a thousand years of the shattered Great Yue Kingdom spread out from within the “Black Evil.”
