In the warm and cozy chamber,
the two most powerful individuals from the Human Territory were engaged in a secret conversation.
Their discussion, if leaked, would surely incite a massive storm.
"Your Majesty, when do you plan to visit the Minor Celestial Realm?" Liu Yifei asked.
"Hmm," Dugu Jingtian pondered for a mont before replying, "I need to wait a few more days, to arrange everything properly and ensure there are no worries left behind. After that, I'll head to the Minor Celestial Realm." Dugu Jingtian had too many concerns—selecting a candidate for the imperial throne, the rise and fall of Human Territory, the safety of his family... All these matters needed his attention.
"Your Majesty, may I take a look at that map?" Liu Yifei inquired.
"Certainly, even if you didn't ask, I would have shown it to you." Dugu Jingtian took out a dirty map from his bosom and carefully handed it to Liu Yifei.
Liu Yifei placed the map on the table and examined it with widened eyes. Just as Dugu Jingtian had described, the map was divided into two parts: the left side contained ancient text while the right depicted a desert with a circle marked in its center.
"The spatial rift leading to the Minor Celestial Realm is right here," Dugu Jingtian extended his hand, pointing at the circle in the center of the desert.
"I have co across records of spatial rifts in ancient texts, which clearly state... There are many chaotic airflows and fierce winds within the spatial rifts, capable of unleashing terrifying power..."
"You're correct," Dugu Jingtian nodded. "The spatial rifts do indeed contain airflows and fierce winds, which make it very dangerous, even for Cultivators at the Tribulation Crossing Stage."
"Does that an, if you try to pass through the spatial rift to the Minor Celestial Realm, it will be dangerous for you too?" Liu Yifei lifted his head to look at Dugu Jingtian.
"Ha ha..." Dugu Jingtian smiled broadly, "Fortune favors the bold! One must not fear danger to gain benefits." Then he added, "Don't worry, I'll definitely be able to enter the Minor Celestial Realm smoothly!" Dugu Jingtian was absolutely confident in himself.
"I still have one concern..."
"What is it?"
"You've just ntioned how fearso the Cultivators from the Minor Celestial Realm are, possessing the strength of immortals in mortal flesh. What if they co to Elysium to cause trouble? Who could stop them then... Since we can pass through the spatial rift to enter the Minor Celestial Realm, they can just as easily co to Elysium through the rift..."
"You're overthinking it." Dugu Jingtian chuckled, "People from the Minor Celestial Realm will not co to Elysium."
"You're so sure of that?"
"Of course, I am! Absolutely certain!"
"But why?"
"As I ntioned earlier, the laws of the Minor Celestial Realm and Elysium are different. If the people from the Minor Celestial Realm forcibly descend to Elysium, they will be crushed by the laws of Elysium and et a tragic end. Why do you think the ancient Cultivators created the Minor Celestial Realm in the first place? Wasn't it because they couldn't survive in Elysium? Out of desperation, they had to forge a new plane, using altered laws to prolong their lives... Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"I understand," Liu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief, "Now I can rest easy! As long as the people from the Minor Celestial Realm don't co to cause trouble in Elysium, I'm content."
"I have a secret technique that I wish to teach you."
"What secret technique?"
"The Soul Control Technique!"
"What's that?"
"A secret technique that controls the soul. Once cultivated to a profound realm, it can forcibly erase another's mories and make them serve you."
"That powerful?" Liu Yifei's eyes shone brightly.
"Just the other day, I perford the Soul Control Technique. The target was a Tribulation Crossing Stage expert, whom I easily stripped of their mories before instilling them with new thoughts... Whatever I instructed, they'd do without question—extrely useful."
"Right, when the Soul Control Technique is used to erase soone's mories, what about their cultivation?"
"It's unaffected! Even if they lose their mories, their cultivation remains. All you need to do is instill so consciousness in them and teach them how to fight."
In the following ti, Dugu Jingtian transmitted the cultivation techniques of the Soul Control Technique to Liu Yifei… After morizing all the incantations, Liu Yifei stood up and left.
Sitting alone in the room, Dugu Jingtian sighed longingly, "If there were any other choice, I definitely wouldn't go to the Minor Heavenly Realm. Alas, such a pity…"
During this ti, Dugu Jingtian had been searching for Xin Lie, scouring the Human Territory without any luck. Eventually, Dugu Jingtian dispatched a group of people to search in the Demon and Demon Clan Territories… but after several months, still no sign of Xin Lie…
"Xin Lie, oh Xin Lie, where on earth have you gone? Are you alive or dead?"
"You personally told that the gateway to the Immortal Realm had been sealed."
"You promised that as long as I helped you find the eighteen steles, you'd take to the Immortal Realm, help shed my mortal coil, and aid in becoming an Immortal!"
"But you, you've just disappeared! Have you encountered danger, or are you hiding from on purpose?"
"My life is running short; I no longer have the ti to wait… If you don't show yourself, I will have no choice but to head to the Minor Heavenly Realm…"
"Xin Lie, please, co out quickly! I'm begging you!"
Dugu Jingtian prayed silently in his heart.
…
Flowers bloom in abundance, each showing individual beauty.
Now let's talk about Gao Fei and Shangguan Yunyue.
In a dark cave.
Gao Fei lay on the ground, his eyes shut tight, breathing faint.
"Gao Fei, can you hear talking? Can you open your eyes and look at ?" Shangguan Yunyue crushed a healing elixir into powder and sprinkled it on Gao Fei's wounds. After applying the powder, the bleeding stopped. "I'm sorry, it's all my fault! If it weren't for saving , you wouldn't have ended up like this! I'm really sorry!"
As she spoke, tears began to flow.
Shangguan Yunyue couldn't recall how many tis she had cried since Gao Fei fell into a coma. Constant tears had swollen her eyes.
"Please wake up! Hurry and wake up!"
"Didn't you say you wanted to marry ? I've agreed! As long as you wake up, I'll marry you right away!"
"I'll be your wife, bear your children, serve you like a lord… I an what I say… really, I'm not lying to you…"
No matter what Shangguan Yunyue said, Gao Fei showed no response.
After several days of treatnt, Gao Fei's external injuries were no longer severe, but the internal injuries… were much harder to heal... His organs, ridians, and dantian had all suffered heavy damage, especially the ridians. Ten days ago, Gao Fei fell into a coma, and his condition worsened each day, which greatly alard Shangguan Yunyue.
Shangguan Yunyue had tried every thod she could think of, but still couldn't awaken Gao Fei.
Looking at Gao Fei's increasingly gaunt face, Shangguan Yunyue felt imnse heartache.
"No! I can't just keep waiting like this!" Shangguan Yunyue wiped the tears from her face, picked up Gao Fei in her arms, and then walked out of the cave.
