Feixian Continent.
“So you're saying, in your last life, I saved you in a Small World called Tianxuan Continent, brought you to the Primordial Continent, and despite all hardships, found the legendary Nine-Yang Scripture for you to cultivate, after which you rose all the way, eventually becoming a peerless Heavenly Emperor a thousand years later?
Finally, when you were undergoing your divine tribulation to ascend to godhood, enemies ambushed you, nearly causing your soul and body both to perish, and you ultimately reincarnated back to your youth?”
Inside the Phantom Tower, Ye Yunfei and Zisheng Zhenjun sat facing each other. After hearing Ye Yunfei's account, Zisheng Zhenjun was first dumbfounded, staring blankly for a long while before finally recovering and asking.
“Yes.
That's exactly how it happened.”
Ye Yunfei looked at Zisheng Zhenjun's disbelieving face and nodded in confirmation.
In his previous life, Zisheng Zhenjun had saved Ye Yunfei's life, taken him in as a disciple, and even found the legendary Nine-Yang Scripture to help Ye Yunfei successfully open his meridians. It could be said that Ye Yunfei's achievements in his past life and his ability to smoothly progress to this point in this life were both inextricably linked to Zisheng Zhenjun. Therefore, Ye Yunfei held nothing back, choosing to reveal his true origins.
Of course, Ye Yunfei understood Zisheng Zhenjun's current state of mind.
Reincarnation and rebirth—such a matter was far too bizarre for any normal being to easily believe.
“Then what about this lifetime?
Why didn't I go to Tianxuan Continent to save you and bring you back to the Primordial Continent to take you as my disciple in this life?”
Zisheng Zhenjun asked.
“That I don't know.
Perhaps my rebirth changed the fate of my previous life.”
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before replying.
Although Ye Yunfei had experienced reincarnation and rebirth, he was currently utterly clueless about its mysteries.
“What you speak of is too fantastical, difficult to believe.”
Zisheng Zhenjun said.
“Indeed, I also know it is truly hard to convince others.”
Ye Yunfei smiled bitterly.
“However, I cannot, for the moment, think of any reason for you to deceive me.
And the more unbelievable your tale is, the more it indicates it might actually be true.”
Zisheng Zhenjun scrutinized Ye Yunfei, speaking slowly.
No one would take an unbelievable story to deceive another.
“Master, although the matters I spoke of are somewhat bizarre, they are all true.”
Ye Yunfei emphasized once more.
“Demonstrate the Nine-Yang Scripture for me.”
Zisheng Zhenjun suddenly requested.
Boom…
Ye Yunfei immediately circulated the Nine-Yang Scripture. Six massive golden spheres of light shot out from his dantian, hovering above his head, radiating overwhelming golden radiance.
“Hmm. It truly is identical to the legendary Nine-Yang Scripture!
This should indeed be the Nine-Yang Scripture.
I did know its approximate location.
I was even contemplating finding the time to retrieve it. Little did I expect in my previous life I had already obtained it and passed it on for you to cultivate.”
Zisheng Zhenjun gazed at the six giant golden spheres above Ye Yunfei's head, somewhat startled, and nodded.
“The legendary Chaos Divine Meridians!”
Next, Zisheng Zhenjun's gaze turned inward toward Ye Yunfei's body, at the eight Divine Meridians like great rivers, feeling somewhat awed.
Chaos Divine Meridians were a legendary type of Divine Meridian. Among the Three Thousand Big and Small Worlds, only a minority of powerful experts knew of their existence. Zisheng Zhenjun had also only heard of them by chance.
“Master, do you believe me now?”
Ye Yunfei immediately asked.
“I believe you.
Truly unexpected, such a bizarre relationship exists between you and me.
However, having a monstrous disciple like you is also quite good.”
Zisheng Zhenjun remained silent for a moment before nodding in response.
“Master, in my last life, after you left the Ziwei Sect headquarters on the Primordial Continent, you disappeared directly. I expended immense effort and time searching for you but never found any trace.
Never expected to encounter your clone in this life.
Master, where exactly did you go?”
Ye Yunfei asked. This question had always lingered in his mind.
“I was searching for clues regarding the Ziwei Great Emperor.
I suspect the Ziwei Great Emperor is not dead.
All these years, my footsteps have nearly covered the entire Three Thousand Big and Small Worlds. I've searched desperately, all to find the Ziwei Great Emperor.
Once the Ziwei Great Emperor returns, our Ziwei Sect can revive its former glory!
This has been the wish of our Ziwei Sect for generations.”
Zisheng Zhenjun said softly.
“In your last life, the reason you couldn't find me was possibly because my true form was trapped in some dangerous place.
For if the Ziwei Great Emperor is alive, the place he resides in would likely be extremely perilous, not somewhere ordinary beings could enter.
Of course, it's also possible that during my search for the Ziwei Great Emperor, I encountered some danger and perished directly, which is why you couldn't find me.”
Zisheng Zhenjun thought for a moment and explained.
“That is indeed possible.”
Ye Yunfei nodded.
“Master, what evidence do you have for suspecting the Ziwei Great Emperor is not dead?
Or rather, are there any clues?”
Ye Yunfei asked curiously.
“There is, of course, evidence.
In the ancestral shrine, I discovered the Soul Tablet of the Ziwei Great Emperor. The Soul Tablet had a crack, but it was not shattered. This indicates the Ziwei Great Emperor is very likely still alive.”
Zisheng Zhenjun said slowly.
“What?
Master, you found the Soul Tablet of the Ziwei Great Emperor in the ancestral shrine?
I've entered the ancestral shrine multiple times, how come I never discovered it?”
Upon hearing this, Ye Yunfei was greatly surprised.
If the Ziwei Great Emperor's Soul Tablet truly remained unbroken, it meant there was a real possibility he was still alive!
“Of course you wouldn't find it, because my true form has already taken the Ziwei Great Emperor's Soul Tablet away. That Soul Tablet is an emperor-grade treasure, and it is also the main basis for searching for the Ziwei Great Emperor.”
Zisheng Zhenjun said.
“So that's how it is!”
Ye Yunfei suddenly understood.
The Soul Tablet of the Ziwei Great Emperor contained his soul energy and aura. It could indeed be considered an emperor-grade treasure.
The soul energy and aura of a Great Emperor were not something ordinary beings could bear.
“Master, where is your true form?”
Ye Yunfei asked again.
“I don't know where my true form went either.”
Zisheng Zhenjun shook his head.
“Then why was this clone of yours trapped here by the Tianliang Sacred Land?”
Ye Yunfei inquired.
“That's because I heard the people of Tianliang Sacred Land once turned the old site of our Ziwei Sect upside down, searching for our sect's treasures and legacies. So this clone of mine went to reason with them, and in a fit of rage, killed one of their Supreme Elders. Then their high-level members teamed up to surround and attack me, eventually capturing and imprisoning me.
However, now that the Tianliang Sacred Land has been wiped out by you, this grudge is considered settled.”
Zisheng Zhenjun answered.
“I see.”
Hearing this, Ye Yunfei finally understood the whole story.
“Little brother, we are about to arrive at the Sword Emperor Pavilion headquarters!”
Just at that moment, Xuanlong Daozhang suddenly said to Ye Yunfei.
“Hmm, good. Let's head straight for their gates.”
Ye Yunfei replied.
“Haha…
Perfectly suits my intention!”
Xuanlong Daozhang laughed heartily.
At the same time, the news that Ye Yunfei and Xuanlong Daozhang had jointly destroyed the Tianliang Sacred Land had long since spread throughout the entire Tianxiong Domain at a staggering speed.
Like a bomb dropped on calm water, the entire Tianxiong Domain was utterly shaken.
Upon receiving the news, many major forces trembled with fear, unable to rest easy for days.
Because these forces had previously offended Ye Yunfei and Xuanlong Daozhang.
In the meeting hall of the Sword Emperor Pavilion headquarters.
“Is the news reliable?
The Tianliang Sacred Land was truly wiped out?
A major power with such a long-standing tradition and profound heritage, destroyed just like that?”
An elder, his face gloomy, slowly opened his mouth to ask.
“Pavilion Master, the matter is true.
Many witnessed the entire process of the Tianliang Sacred Land's destruction.
Our Sword Emperor Pavilion also had people present at the scene, seeing it with their own eyes.
Reportedly, the Grand Supreme Elder of the Tianliang Sacred Land successfully broke through to the Heavenly Boundary realm, but was later jointly slain by Xuanlong Daozhang and a powerhouse suspected to be from the Netherworld.”
A senior elder next to him said gravely.
“A powerhouse suspected to be from the Netherworld?
Who would have imagined it? The prestigious Tianliang Sacred Land was destroyed just like that.”
The Pavilion Master sighed.
“Pavilion Master, our Sword Emperor Pavilion has deep conflicts with both Ye Yunfei and Xuanlong Daozhang. I worry they will come to cause trouble for us.”
Another elder frowned and said.
“Hmph!
I think your worry is unnecessary. Our Sword Emperor Pavilion is not like the Tianliang Sacred Land, merely a local major power within the Tianxiong Domain. Our Sword Emperor Pavilion is one of the renowned superpowers throughout the entire Feixian Continent!
Not to mention Heavenly Boundary realm, even Demigod-level experts, our Sword Emperor Pavilion has them!
Do you really think they dare come to our Sword Emperor Pavilion to make trouble?”
A red-robed elder nearby sneered.
“Report!
Pavilion Master, we've just received news. Xuanlong Daozhang and that brat seem to be heading toward our Sword Emperor Pavilion headquarters!”
Just at that moment, an executive hurried in to deliver the report.
What?!
The Pavilion Master and the other high-level figures all reacted with a mix of shock and fury.
