“Damn.”
“Damn!!”
Long Night Emperor felt he couldn’t be a fence-sitter anymore.
The Bai Family wouldn’t care if it was someone else masquerading as him.
Would the strong reason with the weak?
No.
Long Night Emperor cursed, “Damn Celestial Marvel Sword…”
Just as he spoke, he saw the final scene.
In the sky, a female cultivator with pupils reflecting the cold light of moonlit snake scales was looking at him, saying, “Little Long Night, while you still have time, hurry up and train. The Bai Family won’t arrive so quickly after all. They’re merely rats that dare not show themselves. Once you successfully drain this Cultivation Profound Realm, I’ll lead you to the entry-level.”
Ming Ruyin emphasized the word “entry,” clearly meaning the “true entry,” not the gates of the Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace.
Long Night Emperor’s expression shifted, but he had no other choice.
…
…
During this month’s time, Song Yan kept pondering.
He pondered while playing amidst the mortal world, pondered while sitting on a cliff, pondered while being held by Wei’Er’s slender arms.
Wei’Er never asked much, always accommodating him with the gentlest posture, bringing him joy, and then shyly turned around, her back facing him, accompanying him to sleep.
Song Yan felt a probing sense from the depths of his soul months ago, although it surfaced only to vanish without a trace. Recalling previous searches following the lines of cause and effect, he could easily conclude: the weaker ones failed, the stronger ones arrived.
Unable to find him through lines of cause and effect, did the Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace then send a stronger figure to search for him in a different way?
His goodwill towards the Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace was shattered completely.
He couldn’t believe the Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace was looking for him at this time for anything good.
He solemnly said:
“Indeed, truly bright forces only exist in the Illusion Realm.”
Song Yan embraced Wei’Er, warmth from her spine reaching his abdomen.
That warmth burned like fire, seeping into his marrow, yet it was comforting.
Wei’Er, hearing her beloved talk about such matters, replied instantly, “Are you referring to those righteous paths? They’re all hypocrites with dual faces. If you’re deceived by their outward brightness and end up serving them, you’re truly granting their wish. Those hypocrites dressed in formal attire are no different from the Long Night Emperor here, and the Demon Mountain Star Realm.”
Song Yan’s mind flashed to Ning Yunmiao and that truly peaceful time, shaking his head, he said, “There are good people in the Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace.”
Wei’Er exclaimed, “Really, it’s the Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace!”
Song Yan said, “Indeed, I’m not Li Xuanchan, so what?”
Wei’Er felt the sticky burning sensation behind her, biting her lip, her body soft, said meekly, “I’m just a little female cultivator, don’t tease me anymore.”
Though she hadn’t used the Charm Art in her voice, each word resonated like a melody striking one’s heart.
Song Yan gently stroked her hair.
Wei’Er, sensing this tenderness, sighed lightly, “Little Bell is afraid, actually, I’m afraid too.”
Song Yan asked, “Afraid of what?”
Wei’Er said, “You’re not Li Xuanchan, you must have your own name, your own past. I’m afraid that one day you’ll leave everything here behind and return to who you truly are.
Because…to you, this isn’t your true home, but where your name resides is.”
Song Yan thought of that distant beyond the Star River, “The Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace’s celestial talent named Song Yan,” and the thought of “The Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace would rather destroy, employ Cause and Effect Forbidden Techniques and all kinds of magic to find his cold and stern visage,” suddenly grew silent.
Wei’Er bit her lip, curling herself into his embrace, said, “You…must be a disciple of the Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace, right?”
Song Yan raised his head in astonishment.
With one gesture, Wei’Er understood his meaning, continued gently, “You are!”
Song Yan smiled, a sense of mental connection bridged the physical barrier connecting with Wei’Er, isn’t this also heart-to-heart communication?
Wei’Er muttered, “I just knew the Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace wasn’t a good place.”
Song Yan was amused, said, “Because you saw me?”
Wei’Er said, “You still say? Your methods, sinister and strange, are outrageous. You killed your beloved, yet you are kind to me. I…I…Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace, truly are all hypocrites dressed in formal attire!”
Song Yan said, “Why all?”
Wei’Er said, “I heard of it unintentionally from the elders in the family when I was young, before the Han Family fell.”
After saying that, she pouted, “You must be from the Rusted Sword Blood Abyss, but you certainly don’t know the origin of countless Rusted Sword Secret Realms hanging over the Rusted Sword Blood Abyss. It’s said these Rusted Sword Secret Realms, and even the creatures in heaven and earth, were destroyed by the Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace. Those rusted swords continue to drip blood to this day…how can the Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace be a good place?”
Song Yan said, “This must be a rumor, right? I’ve heard it’s the result of the battles between Myriad Swords Star Realm and Demon Mountain Star Realm.”
Wei’Er said, “In short, Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace isn’t a good place.”
A pensive expression appeared in Song Yan’s eyes.
Nevertheless, chatting with Wei’Er for a bit improved his mood greatly.
He began thinking about how to expedite his cultivation.
Others have only one “talisman” character, while he has three.
Besides his Lifebound Talisman character “Freedom,” he also had two tendrils probed by the Mad Saint.
He used “Freedom” with the Earth Burial Map to comprehend the “Divine Forms Demon Body,” so…could he use “Freedom” with the character “Nüwa” to study a World Technique of his own?
Increasingly intense crisis is approaching; he must strengthen quickly.
However, to research the World Technique with the character “Nüwa,” he needed a Visualization Map.
He didn’t have a Visualization Map, nor could he obtain one.
Suddenly, a thought occurred to him, and an earlier scene at the star raft market flashed through his mind, prompting him to rise hurriedly from the couch.
