Chapter 817 - Coincidence or fate?
“I know.”
“You know?” Sima You Yue turned around suspiciously, “But you said that I…”
“The soul and body has times in which it does not fuse completely. The natural law allows for reincarnation at all times. Only now are you in your complete state.” Azure said.
“My complete state?” Sima You Yue was a little confused, “So you’re saying that I didn’t enter this body by chance. Rather, it was fated?”
“Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t.” Azure said, “I think that right now, that isn’t important. What is important is that the black lotus in your body… maybe it only appeared because your soul and body became one.”
Her soul was linked to the black lotus from before in countless ways, while that body flowed with the blood of the black lotus. Only when the two came together that the design would appear on her back.
She took out a dress and put it on in order to stop exposing her radiance of youth.
“What use is this design?”
Azure shook his head, “I do not know either. I only know that it will be beneficial in suppressing your current condition. What use it is… perhaps only You You would know.”
“Oh.”
This little realm is already yours. I’m guessing you already know how to refine and control it?” Azure asked.
Sima You Yue nodded.
Azure touched her cheek once again, “You You, I have to go. Although the me from the past is no longer here, I will continue to protect you.”
Sima You Yue looked at him and saw the reluctance in his eyes. Her heart suddenly filled with pain as her eyes teared up as droplets started dripping onto his hand.
“Being able to see you cry for me before I leave has already satisfied me.” Azure wiped away her tears, “The one in the bracelet is too weak, and is about to disappear as well. Why don’t I give him my strength, to let him protect you on my behalf.”
“Azure…”
“You You, I will never regret meeting you.”
Azure’s soul slowly changed into a ray of light as he spoke, spinning one round around her before flying into the devil snare bracelet.
Mo Sha watched as Azure’s soul entered and he relaxed his body, letting that soul fill him. As it disappeared, it filled him with strength.
Sima You Yue was still inside that white world at this moment, and she first changed into a set of clothing. Then, she began to examine this world carefully.
This was the place she ended up in when she left the illusion. It should be another place in the little realm that had not yet been opened.
Azure didn’t tell her how to leave this place.
She didn’t know how long she had been gone. If Ximen Feng and the others saw that she had been gone for a long time, they would be so worried.
“Can it be that I have to refine it first?”
She gave a thought, and an elaborate little door appeared in her hand. The door even contained that picture.
“This should be the key for the little realm.” She looked at the black lotus on the door and sighed, “If you had been cultivating in the Ninth Underworld Mountain all this time, would the later things not have happened? He said that he didn’t regret it. I’m guessing you were the same.”
The black lotus on the door did not reply.
With a sigh, she said, “Little Door, I’m your master now. Take me out of this place and back to where I was before.”
The scene in front of her changed as she really returned to the cellar. However, aside from the crystal coffin, not a single person was remaining.
She walked beside the coffin, and the sky Splitter Devil Sword was gone. There was nothing in there.
At that time, You You had used her body to seal the sky splitter away, which was why she had no body. The crystal coffin contained the sky splitter, which was also her.
When she didn’t see Ximen Feng and the others, she sensed around her and immediately knew where they were.
She came out from the cellar and saw Ximen Feng and the others inside the house. When he saw her come out, he immediately ran over to her.
“Where did you go? You worried us to death.”
“I’m fine.”
Kong Xiang Yi and Han Miao Shuang heard them and immediately flew over.
“Junior Brother, are you alright?” Han Miao Shuang walked over and looked her twice over before ascertaining that she was fine. Only then did she relax.
“Senior Sister, I’m fine.”
“Fine? You even changed your clothes. How could you be fine.” Han Miao Shuang said, “Where did you go? How did you suddenly disappear from the cellar?”
“Yeah, everyone was shocked when we saw that you had suddenly disappeared. We couldn’t even move during that time, and were anxious to death!”
“Junior Brother, where did you go?” Su Xiao Xiao asked.
“I should have been brought into an illusion…”
Sima You Yue xplained what had happened, but she only said that she had seen it from You You’s perspective. She did not speak of her later encounter with Azure.
Kong Xiang Yi’s eyes flashed when she heard it and she cried out while hugging both hands to her chest, “Heavens, you actually saw an ancient love story with your own eyes. That’s too mystical!”
“Did you see the Azure Great Emperor?”
“I did,” Sima You Yue said, “He was inside the illusion, so I saw him as well.”
“Then what kind of person was he? An emperor, you actually met an emperor. Did he look like us? How was his aura like?” Han Miao Shuang grabbed her hands excitedly as she asked.
“The one I met was not an emperor yet. Of course he wouldn’t have the aura of an emperor.” Sima You Yue said, “However, one thing was for sure. He looked just like we do now. He had two eyes, one nose and one mouth.”
“Why? Why were you able to see that while we weren’t?” Han Miao Shuang sighed, “It would have been great if we could see it too and be able to experience some of the emperor’s divine qi. Maybe we would be able to become emperors too.”
Sima You Yue couldn’t be bothered to deal with this crazy person, so she turned to Ximen Feng and the others, “How long was I gone?”
“Ten or so days.” Ximen Feng replied.
More than ten days…
Adding this on to the time they spent in the cemetery, they had already been in here for a whole month.
“Didn’t think that we would have already been in here for such a long time.” She sighed, “Even if we go out now, who knows where Eldest Senior would have gone. Perhaps he has already taken Sky Splitter and left the outer regions.”
“He has definitely left the outer regions. Han Miao Shuang said, “He’s probably already returned to the inner regions and handed over the Sky Splitter.”
“Now that the sky splitter has reappeared, there will be bloodshed.” Su Xiao Xiao was still unreconciled with what Jiang Jun Zhe did.
“Since it’s already been taken out, it would be useless to fret over it. Our top priority now is to return to the sect and tell them about the sky splitter.” Sima You Yue said.
“Yeah. we should head out.” Han Miao Shuang said, “but, did we bring a boundary breaker talisman?”
Everyone shook their heads.
“Without a boundary breaker talisman, how do we get out of this little realm?”
“Let me.” Sima You Yue took out the little door, immediately drawing Kong Xiang Yi and Han Miao Shuang’s attention.
