Chapter 622: Chapter 439: A Dream of Eternal Yellow Millet_2
Song Lingxue walked over slowly and casually handed the Heaven-Binding Lock to Chu Zheng:
“This item is of no use to . I have temporarily suppressed the True Spirit within. When you reach the Tenth Order, you should be able to refine it. It might prove useful by then.”
Chu Zheng was startled, but then remained silent as he accepted the Heaven-Binding Lock.
Song Lingxue squatted down, looked at Chu Zheng for a mont, and then slowly reached out to wipe away his disguise, revealing his true appearance.
Looking at Chu Zheng’s true face, a hint of bewildernt appeared in Song Lingxue’s expression. Her eyes were filled with indescribable, complex thoughts as she softly called out:
“Azhen…”
Chu Zheng was a bit lost. The Song Lingxue before him felt vastly different from the last ti, a fundantal change had occurred, looking at her features, it seed like she was a completely different person.
The sharpness between her brows reminded him of soone he t in the Heart Burning Corridor.
Now, Song Lingxue’s gaze made him uncomfortable for the first ti, as if she wasn’t looking at him, but through him, at soone else.
Looking at the familiar yet strange features of the woman in front of him, Chu Zheng’s expression slightly froze, and then his gaze beca sharp as a blade:
“Who exactly are you now? Are you Lingxue… or Xue Qing?”
Song Lingxue’s brow furrowed slightly, the previous hint of dazedness vanished, and she asked in a deep voice: “How do you know that na? Who told you? Was it Ling Qing?”
The reaction of the woman before him seed to confirm so of Chu Zheng’s suspicions.
His heart suddenly sank, and as he stood up, he felt inexplicably flustered, hiding his trembling fingers behind him:
“First, answer , are you now Song Lingxue or Xue Qing?”
In his mind, a storm was already brewing.
Ever since Song Lingxue entered the Space-ti Domain, too many changes had happened to her, and now standing in front of him, Chu Zheng could barely recognize her.
From the beginning of their eting this ti, he felt sothing was off, as if there was a barrier between him and Song Lingxue.
This wasn’t just a long absence and estrangent, but rather a complete unfamiliarity, as if they had never even t before. The air between them seed thick with an awkward tension.
Seeing the coldness erging in Chu Zheng’s eyes, Song Lingxue furrowed her brow slightly:
“Azhen, so things are not as simple as you think…”
Chu Zheng had no intention of dropping the matter easily, a freezing chill seed to form in his eyes as he pressed on:
“Is it the ‘Zheng’ of Chu Zheng or the ‘Chu’ of Zheng Chu?”
Upon hearing the na Zheng Chu, Song Lingxue’s eyes dimd slightly, and she tugged at the corner of her mouth:
“You need only rember one thing, in this world, I am the only one who would never harm you, not in the past, nor now…”
“Answer first!”
Chu Zheng interrupted her, took a deep breath, and said each word deliberately:
“Where is Song Lingxue now?!”
His eyes were filled with red, the illusion within the Heart Burning Corridor had now surged up again, disturbing his mind, the suppressed anxiety growing uncontrollably.
In this universe, aside from Song Lingxue, there was no one else as deeply entwined and close to him.
He dared not think about what he would do if Song Lingxue disappeared.
Seeing the murderous intent he couldn’t suppress in Chu Zheng’s eyes, Song Lingxue’s face turned slightly pale, avoiding his gaze, she abruptly raised her hand and pointed at his forehead.
In an instant, Chu Zheng felt his world going dark, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth fissuring, all senses were lost, and he fainted, even his Primordial Spirit entered a deep sleep.
“All things, like a dream of ancient tis, are ultimately but flowers in the water, the moon in the mirror.”
Song Lingxue let out a long sigh, paused for a while, her eyes slightly red as she muttered softly:
“Fate is destined by heaven, but our connection is determined by us, yet we are ultimately fated to et without being together…”
…
…
“Awaken!”
A call tore through the darkness, Chu Zheng’s Divine Soul trembled slightly, the world overturned, and he gradually awoke from his slumber.
He slowly opened his eyes, seeing a vast stretch of stars above him, confined within a glass do.
Chu Zheng shook his groggy head, and after looking around, he realized where he was.
This is… the Fairy Palace of Moonlight Immortal Ancestor.
He stood up sowhat dazed, and upon seeing the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor not far away, he ca to his senses, bowed, and said:
“Greetings, Moonlight Immortal Ancestor.”
“You were frightened by a nightmare, your Primordial Spirit was startled; it’s a lingering condition from the Heart Burning Corridor that needs quiet rest for a while.”
The Moonlight Immortal Ancestor frowned slightly, a hint of doubt in his expression: “After refining the Ruiyang Realm, why didn’t you return to the Boundary but went to the Starry Sky Barrier?”
“This junior went to retrieve so cultivation resources and did not intend to disturb the Ancestor. I beg for forgiveness.”
Chu Zheng bowed in apology and rubbed his brow, a slight darkness in his eyes.
“It’s not a cri.”
The Moonlight Immortal Ancestor waved his hand and spoke softly:
“I am aware of the Shan Clan’s matter. I will seek justice for you. Return to the Boundary, avoid the world for a while, and only talk after becoming an Immortal Monarch.”
“Understood.”
Chu Zheng bowed in agreent. Even without the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor’s suggestion, he had originally intended to do so.
“Chu Zheng…”
The Moonlight Immortal Ancestor took a deep breath, fatigue evident in his brow:
“Your life now is not yours alone, cherish it more, and do not take risks easily again. I won’t have a second chance, just consider it helping , okay?”
Chu Zheng’s heart trembled slightly, taking a deep breath, he bowed and agreed:
“I will rember, Senior.”
With those words, the world around Chu Zheng instantly transford into boundless starry sky.
Not far away, the Starry Sky Barrier stretched across the splendid Star Sea, vast and endless.
Clearly, he was still near the Starry Sky Barrier. The Moonlight Immortal Ancestor had intervened across realms to et him, just like their first encounter.
A figure stood not far away, appearing to be in his thirties, dressed in a blue Immortal Robe, with a tall and handso appearance.
[Fu Tianyi (Tenth Order): Chief Executioner of the Immortal Alliance Punishnt Departnt, Pure-blooded Immortal Descendant, cultivation at the late Immortal Monarch stage, primarily practices the Immortal Emperor Technique ‘Thundering Water Spirit Scripture.’]
Seeing the information relayed by the Spiritual Eye, Chu Zheng relaxed slightly and perford a respectful salute:
“Thank you, Immortal Monarch.”
Being from the Fu Family, and in the position of Chief Executioner from the Punishnt Authority, he could be considered an ally.
“No need.”
Fu Tianyi waved his hand: “The Master instructed to take good care of you. I encountered you, fainted in the Barbaric Star Sea, and thus brought you back.”
After saying this, he glanced at Chu Zheng to confirm he was alright and then said: “Since you’re fine, feel free to go. There are matters at the border that I must attend to.”
“As you wish, Immortal Monarch.”
Chu Zheng respectfully saluted, watched Fu Tianyi leave, and then turned, concealing his presence as he headed straight for the Boundary.
While on the road, Chu Zheng’s thoughts drifted again, contemplating many things.
Song Lingxue’s earlier reactions had already provided him with so answers.
The current Song Lingxue had likely awakened so of Xue Qing’s mories, which caused her dramatic change in character.
The person who was supposed to have died in the Primordial Era has been reborn once again in Song Lingxue.
There must be earth-shattering secrets hidden within the mories Song Lingxue has awakened.
He had many more questions to ask, but judging by Song Lingxue’s earlier reactions, even if he asked, she probably wouldn’t provide any answers.
Song Lingxue’s changes were not as drastic before, likely related to the Martial Arts Seed on Song Lingqing.
The return journey was much faster than the arrival. In just over a year, Chu Zheng made it back to the Boundary from the Starry Sky Barrier.
The Boundary remained desolate and bleak, with yin evil as thick as fog covering all around, piercing cold, eerily silent but making Chu Zheng’s thoughts incredibly clear.
Based on the current situation with Song Lingxue, it’s possible that a mory might be hidden within the Dao Seed inside him as well. However, his cultivation is insufficient, not yet having stepped into the Space-ti Domain, and therefore unable to unlock it.
If this is true, then upon stepping into the Space-ti Domain, he might also experience so unforeseeable changes.
While Chu Zheng was lost in thought, waves were sensed from within the Cave Heaven World.
The Longevity Immortal Fruit had finally ripened.
