He could feel that aside from external forces, the main reason for Zhou Yiâs death aura was himself. He wholeheartedly wanted to die.
After Wang Lin saw the formation before him, he knew that he couldnât break this formation! If anyone could break this formation, it could only be Zhou Yi himself.
Although Wang Linâs voice was soft, it echoed through the cracks. Zhou Yiâs eyes trembled as he slowly opened them. His eyes were empty, and within this emptiness there was ultimately sadness. His face was still in a daze.
Just at this moment, Ling Tianhouâs divine sense broke through the golden cage. It turned around and charged directly at Wang Lin once more.
A soft sigh echoed across the crack. The sigh came from Zhou Yi, and at the moment the sigh spread across the cave, Ling Tianhouâs divine sense charging toward Wang Lin immediately collapsed!
This sword energy dissipated but reformed into a ball of light that floated motionlessly above the fourth sword.
âYou should leaveâŠâ Zhou Yi still hadnât looked at Wang Lin. He closed his eyes once more.
Wang Linâs origin soul suffered great injuries just to get here, and now he didnât even have the power to leave. His origin soul was now only the size of a baby, and its originally crystal-clear body was now murky.
He had used all of his spells and everything he had to finally reach this point, because Zhou Yi was his benefactor. However, after doing all of this, all he got were those three plain words from Zhou Yi.
âYou should leaveâŠâ
Wang Lin revealed a thick, mocking smiling. This smile wasnât toward other people but toward himself.
âYour heart is already dead, and I indeed shouldnât have come!â Wang Lin shook his head and turned around to leave. At the moment he entered here and lost six portions of his origin soul, he had already repaid his debt to Zhou Yi.
âHeart is dead⊠At the moment Ting Er left, my heart really did dieâŠâ The sadness on Zhou Yiâs dazed face became even stronger.
In the several hundred years he had been sealed here by Ling Tianhou, he had constantly been in a state of confusion. He knew of the ancient demonâs invasion, but he didnât want to stop it. However, the golden light was his love for Ting Er, and he didnât want to throw it away.
After letting out a sigh, Zhou Yi raised his completely purple right hand and flicked his finger. A ray of golden light suddenly appeared, and it contained a very powerful sword energy. This was the same sword energy that put Ling Tianhou in such a sorry state. This was the life sword energy of the Rain Celestial Sword! Zhou Yi only had 99 rays of this sword energy!
When he was hunting Ling Tianhou, he used most of his life sword energy. Now he only had four rays left!
The sword energy charged directly at the ball of light above the fourth sword and directly pierced through it!
Although Ling Tianhouâs divine sense was powerful, it couldnât compare to Zhou Yiâs Rain Celestial Sword life sword energy!
The ball of light shattered and Ling Tianhouâs divine sense was destroyed. The divine sense turned into specks of light. With the help of the sword energy, the specks of light flowed into Wang Linâs body.
At this moment, those specks of light entered Wang Linâs origin soul. His damaged origin soul began to recover at a crazy speed.
In almost an instant, not only did his origin soul completely recover, it also had a feeling of expanding. This feeling slowly stopped, but the remaining specks of light didnât dissipate. They automatically found Ling Tianhouâs sword energy inside Wang Linâs origin soul and fused with it.
The sword energy suddenly became 30% more powerful than before!
Zhou Yi slowly said, âMy life sword energy canât be stored inside you, so I canât give it to you⊠You were injured because of me, so I helped you recover. You should go⊠Donât come backâŠâ
Wang Lin let out a sigh and started walking toward the exit. Then he slapped the bag of holding and the pagoda with Zhou Yiâs divine sense appeared. Wang Lin looked at it before throwing it behind him.
âI have already completed the promise from back then. I will no longer guard this pagoda!â
Zhou Yi suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the pagoda. The sadness in his eyes was enough to cover the sky.
âTing ErâŠâ
Wang Linâs foot stopped, but he didnât turn around. He said, âHer name is not Ting Er. If my guess is correct, her name is Qing Shuang!â
Zhou Yiâs spirit body trembled. He raised his head, and the emptiness in his eyes had disappeared. Instead, it was replaced with energy.
âQing Shuang?â
Wang Lin turned around and looked at Zhou Yi. He didnât speak but threw Qing Linâs jade.
Zhou Yiâs eyes narrowed and he caught the jade. He immediately scanned it with his divine sense and his expression changed. After a long time, he bitterly said to himself, âQing ShuangâŠâ
Wang Linâs voice was calm as he slowly said, âThe daughter of Celestial Emperor Qing Lin. This Qing Lin was the most powerful person in the Celestial Realm. Rumors have it that he escaped when the Celestial Realm collapsed. He is hidden in his cave in this Demon Spirit Land, healing!â
The energy in his eyes became even more intense, and a trace of vitality gradually appeared in his body. The purple gas around him began to speed up, but it couldnât stop his vitality from appearing.
âYou are saying that Ting⊠Ting Erâs father is healing in a cave here? Wang Lin, are you sure about this?â
Wang Lin looked at Zhou Yi and shook his head. âI didnât see it with my own eyes, so Iâm uncertain.â
The confusion on Zhou Yiâs face gradually disappeared as he muttered, âRight, how can anyone be sure of these kinds of things. Only⊠If Ting Erâs father is really here, then with his cultivation, he must be able to awaken Ting ErâŠâ
The current Zhou Yi seemed to have forgotten that Ting Er was only a residual soul fragment formed in the female corpse from his thousand years of obsession. It was now gone and no longer existedâŠ
âI want to take Ting Er to meet her father and let Ting Er⊠wake upâŠâ The vitality in Zhou Yiâs body became stronger and stronger. The purple gas surrounding him seemed to have gone crazy. It charged at the speck of golden light between his eyebrows like crazy.
âScatter for me!â His eyes lit up, and the purple gas surrounding him immediately began to struggle in an attempt to retaliate. However, it had no effect and was quickly expelled from Zhou Yiâs body. Soon, all of the purple gas was forced out of Zhou Yiâs body and the large cloud of purple gas disappeared through the formation on the ground.
Zhou Yi was the Rain Celestial Swordâs sword spirit. If the ancient demon of the Water Demon Country personally came, then Zhou Yi might not stand a chance since he only had three life sword energies left.
However, simply expelling the ancient demonâs demonic spiritual energy was not difficult for Zhou Yi.
The purple gas disappeared and Zhou Yiâs body was crystal-clear like flowing water. He looked at the pagoda and waved his right hand. A ray of sword energy immediately flew out from the tower!
This sword was small and it was obvious from its appearance that it was made for a female. This sword was one of the Rain Celestial Swords!
Zhou Yi was the rain Celestial Swordâs sword spirit. His body turned into a ray of light and immediately flew into this small sword. At this moment, the crack was filled with sword energy!
Just at this moment, the remaining three balls of light immediately flew into the air. They turned into divine sense and flew at Zhou Yi.
A cold snort came from the sword, and a ray of Zhou Yiâs life sword energy immediately flew out. An earth-shattering sound suddenly echoed across the entire Tide Abyss. It was as if the fierce sword energy wanted to cut open the entire Tide Abyss.
The three balls of light immediately shattered and were devoured by Zhou Yi. As for the projections of the four swords on the ground, they were also shattered by the life sword energy. The formation on the ground shattered with the swords.
The crack that sealed Zhou Yi immediately collapsed!
âLing Tianhou, although you had me sealed for hundreds of years, if it wasnât for the fact my heart was dead, how could your seal trap me!? Iâm the Rain Celestial Swordâs sword spirit. My life is as long as the heavens and earth and I inherited the Four Great Sword Intent from ancient times! Although I canât kill you, unless I allow it, you canât seal me!
âIn these hundreds of years, although my heart was dead, I could constantly feel the inheritance of the ancient sword intent. If we meet again, let us see whether or not my cultivation is still the same as before!â Zhou Yi flew out the moment before the crack collapsed.
Wang Lin immediately followed Zhou Yi. One sword and one person appeared outside the crack.
Zhou Yi appeared from the celestial sword. He still looked the same as before, only it looked like more time had passed. He held the pagoda in his hand. After looking at the pagoda, he sent it to Wang Lin.
âWang Lin, keep this safe for me!â
Wang Lin nodded. He caught the pagoda and put it inside his bag of holding.
Zhou Yiâs gaze fell on Wang Lin, and there was a hint of gratitude in his eyes. He said, âFor you to reach this step in just a few hundred years is worthy of congratulations!â
Wang Lin let out a sigh and said, âThanks to Senior for the Ascendant Crystal. OtherwiseâŠâ Wang Lin shook his head and didnât go on.
âThe Ascendant Crystal was your reward for guarding Ting Er, so there is no need to thank me. If there is any thanks to be said, it should be me thanking you⊠I didnât think that the two of us would meet again after several hundred years. Thinking about it now, if it wasnât for the fact that you were determined to find me, we wouldnât have met today.â Zhou Yi saw that Wang Lin wanted to speak, but he waved his hand to stop Wang Lin. He pondered for a bit and asked, âWang Lin, I remember there were two celestial swords in the pagoda⊠Do you still have the other one?â
Wang Lin slapped his bag of holding and the celestial sword Xu Liguo was in flew out.
Xu Liguo was inside the celestial sword and immediately felt Zhou Yiâs existence. He was also a spirit body, so the feeling he had at this moment was very strong. The other was like the master of all sword spirits, and he was in awe. He even felt that this person was the real sword spirit of the sword he was in! He was merely in someone elseâs home.
âEh?â After Zhou Yi saw the celestial sword, his eyes lit up. He pointed with his right hand and Xu Liguo immediately flew out from the celestial sword. His face was filled with the urge to flatter; this was even more intense than when he was facing Wang Lin.
âSenior, juniorâs name is Xu Liguo. It was my master who made me live inside the celestial sword; it was not because I wanted to.â
Wang Linâs expression immediately became ugly and he coldly looked at Xu Liguo.
Zhou Yi laughed and said to Wang Lin, âWang Lin, I canât pass my spells on to you, but this spirit body is pretty good. I can allow him to comprehend the ancient sword intent and accelerate his growth until he can completely control this celestial sword!â
