Capítulo 1081: Chapter 1031: A Dialogue Across Three Centuries
Back then, Yan Wang Hejia went to Mount Penglai, using his and Ning Zhaozong’s heart blood, hoping that Penglai could summon back the soul of Princess Yongning, which Xing Yun was also aware of.
So he also knew that the reason why Princess Yongning’s soul disappeared was that there was a seventy percent possibility it had traveled to another world.
So no matter how one searches, it cannot be found.
Now it seems, it really happened.
After Xing Yun’s initial shock, he quickly regained his composure: “Just that Her Royal Highness the Princess returned at this ti… No, may I ask, Your Highness, have you co from the future?”
As expected of the Beiming Sect’s leader, so intelligent it’s almost supernatural.
He guessed everything in less than a second.
“Yes.” Ye Wanlan smiled, “It’s been a long ti, Sect Master.”
“Since Your Highness has co from the future, you must already know what is about to happen.” Xing Yun surprisingly calm, “I will preserve the soul of my sister, so that she can one day open her eyes and see the future Shenzhou.”
Ye Wanlan said nothing, falling silent.
Because without this Battle of Ten Thousand Armies, with Yue Zheng and Xing Yun’s cultivation, they could easily live three hundred years into the future.
But now, because of this war that should not have existed, a high wall nad “Life and Death” stands between them.
“Sect Master.” Ye Wanlan finally spoke, “I have co from the future to save you both.”
She briefly described everything from start to finish.
Upon hearing that the souls of King Yan and others had been protected by the Chaos Pearl, Xing Yun’s furrowed brow relaxed.
He smiled: “Rong Shi once said, Her Royal Highness the Princess is the only variable in Shenzhou, and indeed, he was not wrong.”
Shenzhou remains intact, even regrets can be redied, who wouldn’t praise Princess Yongning as unparalleled?
“But—” Ye Wanlan paused, “the Saintess’s soul awakened in the future and participated in history.”
“I understand Your Highness’s aning.” Xing Yun unexpectedly calm, “Because my sister’s soul is protected by mine, and history cannot be changed, even if you co from the future, you cannot save as you did with King Yan.”
Ye Wanlan remained silent.
The situation was indeed this way.
Although Han Yunsheng also protected Shen Mingshu’s soul, the cost was not self-sacrifice.
Thus, she could prevent Han Yunsheng from sacrificing to the heavens.
But Yue Zheng’s situation was different, a life for a life, only one can live.
If she saved Xing Yun’s soul, then Yue Zheng would disappear.
And vice versa.
As if seeing her thoughts, Xing Yun said: “If only one can live, then I naturally hope my sister survives, no matter what, my choice remains the sa.”
Ye Wanlan’s eyes focused.
Indeed, from start to finish, Xing Yun’s choice had never changed.
Xing Yun lightly exhaled, smiling: “Your Highness, this is my choice, you don’t need to feel sad for .”
Ye Wanlan remained silent.
How could she not feel sad?
If she could, she wouldn’t want anyone she knows to beco a sacrifice in this war.
Choosing one of two, how is it not the cruelest thing in this world?
Ye Wanlan said softly: “Is there anything the Sect Master wishes to entrust, I will pass it on.”
“Your Highness, I do have a wish.” Xing Yun raised his hand, gently wiping away a trace of blood from Yue Zheng’s forehead with his fingertip.
Ye Wanlan looked at him: “Please, Sect Master.”
“Since Your Highness can travel back three hundred years, then you must have t my sister.” Xing Yun said softly, “My wish is, could Your Highness allow to et my sister from three hundred years later?”
He still had too many words left unsaid.
Even though he understood that as the Penglai Saintess, Yue Zheng could never fall in love in this lifeti.
But emotions, how are they so easy to control?
And he, willingly, like a moth to a fla, to love passionately.
When he realized he had developed feelings for Yue Zheng, he willingly left Mount Penglai.
And except for him and their master, no one knew that when he left, he relinquished all his magical powers learned at Penglai.
Seven days and nights in the Washing Spirit Pool, covered in blood, deep enough to see the bone.
Not a part of his body was unscathed.
This was the price of leaving Penglai.
But Xing Yun had to leave, so Yue Zheng could successfully solidify her position as the Penglai Saintess, and beco the most outstanding genius in Shenzhou Taoism history.
How could he shatter her Taoist heart and path of cultivation for his selfish desires?
Xing Yun thought, if he loved soone, he wouldn’t imprison her, nor would he break her wings.
He wanted her to fly higher, to reach the peak where none could reach.
The bright moon hanging high, should illuminate all corners of the land.
After leaving Penglai, he entered the Beiming Sect, retrained, and finally regained strength equal to Yue Zheng’s.
In Jianghu, their nas always appeared together.
Whenever Penglai Saintess Yue Zheng was ntioned, Beiming Sect Master Xing Yun inevitably followed.
Perhaps in the beginning, the Beiming Sect truly existed to oppose Mount Penglai.
But under his leadership, the Beiming Sect beca Penglai’s most loyal ally.
“Okay.” Ye Wanlan nodded slowly, “I will let you two et.”
This was Xing Yun’s only wish, and of course, she would fulfill it.
“Thank you, Your Highness.” Xing Yun breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes curved, like the bright moon and stars.
He was naturally beautiful, and with that smile, the heavens and earth seed to tilt.
Ye Wanlan said softly: “But ti cannot last long, I will strive my best.”
Xing Yun smiled even more: “It’s enough.”
**
At this mont, in Shenzhou, Mount Penglai.
Shen Mingshu and Yue Zheng sat on the mountaintop, feeling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
“I heard from Ah Lan that the Beiming Sect Master has feelings for the Saintess.” Shen Mingshu asked, “I wonder if there’s any secret behind this?”
Yue Zheng was silent for a mont before speaking: “Minister Shen, to be honest, I will not fall in love, not because I dare not or cannot, but because I am unable.”
Shen Mingshu was suddenly stunned, after a long while, she said: “…How can that be?”
“Each generation of Penglai Saintess cultivates the Jade Bone Ice Heart Dao Skill, sealing the heart, locking love.” Yue Zheng spoke lightly, “It was destined from my birth.”
Though the cultivation technique limits her, she is human, not a cold-blooded creature without feelings, how could she not feel Xing Yun’s admiration for her?
The book says, when you like soone, you beco like the sun, radiating heat.
And under the sun’s shine, she naturally could feel this warmth.
But she could never reciprocate.
On the mountain peak, the bright moon shone, surrounded by stars.
Yue Zheng suddenly recalled a strange question Xing Yun asked her when they were young—
“Sister, do you think it’s more painful ‘to hate the bright moon hanging high but not shining on ’ or ‘to hate the bright moon hanging high that does not shine only on ’?”
While Yue Zheng was still pondering this philosophical Taoist question, Xing Yun had already answered himself: “As long as the bright moon remains high, I will not be in pain.”
