Western Divine Region, Dragon God Realm.
The Dragon God Realm once had Nine Dragon Gods, forty-three Dragon Lords, three hundred and eight main dragons, and the Supreme Dragon Emperor. In secret, there was also the protection of the Five Withered Dragons.
This is a force that seems to be unshakable to anyone.
Now, the situation has deteriorated to the point where not even a main dragon survives.
The Dragon God Realm's dominance of a million years collapsed in one day, and it collapsed completely. Under Yun Che's cruel devil's order to exterminate the Dragon God lineage, let alone turning over, there was no chance for them to even breathe.
A kingdom without the God Lord is like a tiger with all its claws and teeth plucked out and its bones broken. Although it still has some power, it is actually no more powerful than a jackal.
When the Azure Dragon and the Qilin arrived with the magic order of life or death, Emperor Chi, Viper Dragon and All Things could not even muster the will to resist and had to kneel down.
The situation on the Dragon God Realm's side was much simpler. The Qilin Realm directly crossed over and took over the Dragon God Domain, which originally symbolized the core of the Dragon God Realm and was also the highest holy place in the God Realm.
The entire Western Divine Region was shaking and trembling.
If Yun Che or Chi Wuyao came with their might, the people of the Western Regions might be able to unite against the common enemy and form a front of will for a short period of time.
However, before them appeared the Kirin Realm and Azure Dragon Realm, the two most prestigious realms in Western Divine Realm… This was not only another heavy blow to their will, but also made their acceptance of submission several times easier.
When the Western Region was in turmoil, Yun Che and Qianye Ying'er had already appeared in front of the Reincarnation Forbidden Land.
A huge barrier stretched across the front, and the aura of the Dragon God released from it was so strong that it could make a person feel as if he was being crushed by a thousand mountains even if he was thousands of miles away. One could imagine how much power Long Bai had poured into this barrier.
Yun Che’s gaze remained fixed for a long time… Even though he had already accepted the worst possible outcome, his heart still beat several times faster.
"Can you open it?" Qianye Ying'er curled her lips and pulled him out of his daze.
Yun Che took a step forward, with Phoenix Flame in his left hand and Golden Crow Flame in his right hand. The two divine flames merged in the darkness and in a moment transformed into the terrifying Eternal Devil Flame, which directly struck the Dragon God Barrier in front of him.
Chi Chi Chi…
Waves of soul-splitting devouring sounds rang out, and Yun Che’s arms slowly sank into the Dragon God’s barrier. Then his eyes darkened, and his burning hands fiercely tore apart.
Snap!
A ten-foot-long crack was torn in the Dragon God's barrier, and the Eternal Devil Flame at the edge of the crack continued to devour it as it twisted, making the crack unable to heal for a long time.
Yun Che’s brows furrowed fiercely at this moment.
Qianye Ying'er flashed past the crack and entered the barrier. When she glanced to the side, she found that Yun Che was still outside the barrier, standing there in a daze, seemingly thinking about something.
"What's wrong?" Qianye Ying'er asked.
Yun Che took a step and stepped into the barrier, and suddenly said: “Long Bai’s dragon soul has always been attached to this barrier.”
Following Long Bai’s death, the dragon soul entangled in the barrier quickly dissipated, but the remaining traces of the soul on it were enough for Yun Che to clearly perceive.
"This is perfectly normal." Qianye Ying'er was not surprised at all: "To hide such a big secret, it would be strange if Long Bai didn't attach the dragon soul to the barrier."
Yun Che’s brows did not relax, and after a brief silence, he asked, “Qianying, in this world, is there any way to quietly pass through this soul-attaching barrier?”
Qianye Ying'er stared at him, thought for a moment and said, "From what I know, there are probably three types."
"The first one is the Huanxu Ding of the Zhoutian Realm. As the most powerful spatial device in the world, it is not a problem for it to travel through multiple layers of soul-attaching barriers. The second one is the special spatial mystical skill of the Ziwei Realm, 'Shaohua Ziwei'."
"However, I cannot guarantee whether Huanxu Ding can pass through Long Bai's soul-attaching barrier at this level without leaving a trace. As for Shaohua Ziwei, it seems that no one has been able to cultivate it in Ziwei for 200,000 years."
"The third one is, of course, the Qiankun Thorn in Shui Meiyin's hand. As the most precious treasure of Xuantian, it is the undisputed strongest spatial artifact in the history of Chaos. It can even move the stars and the moon. It can travel through a mere soul-attaching barrier like a piece of cake."
Yun Che had also told Qianye Ying'er all the truths that he had told Chi Wuyao that day.
Qianye Ying'er's answer did not dispel Yun Che's doubts at all. He asked, "Is there any similar space secret method in the Moon God Realm?"
Qianye Ying'er finally understood: "I see. I remember you mentioned that it was Xia Qingyue who told you that Shen Xi was dead. Are you wondering why Xia Qingyue knew that Shen Xi was dead so early despite the soul-attaching barrier that Long Bai personally forged?"
Yun Che: “…”
"Hmph, there's nothing strange about that." Qianye Ying'er snorted coldly, "Every kingdom has its own hidden secrets and trump cards. It's not surprising that they have these unknown space secrets or mysterious weapons."
“Especially that woman Xia Qingyue. She has an extremely special Glazed Heart and Delicate Body. Let alone passing through Long Bai’s barrier without a trace, even if she accomplished something beyond common sense, there is no need to be too surprised… In this respect, she is similar to you.”
Yun Che shook his head, put aside unnecessary distracting thoughts, and said: "Forget it, it's not important, let's go."
Not long after, the forbidden land of samsara appeared in front of them.
However, the bright barrier that had guarded the forbidden land of samsara for hundreds of thousands of years was now only a layer as thin as smoke, and it seemed that a slightly bigger storm would completely shatter it.
Yun Che stretched out his fingers towards the light barrier, and his knuckles curled and tightened the moment they touched.
This light barrier that was about to dissipate would undoubtedly cruelly destroy his inner luck and fantasy.
After passing through the light barrier, Yun Che’s footsteps paused. The samsara forbidden land before him was so desolate that it was heartbreaking.
There are no birds singing or butterflies dancing, no holy light lingering, no thousands of grasses and flowers... there is only desolation and withering everywhere.
“Hu…” Yun Che closed his eyes and let out a long breath.
He Ling’s suppressed sobs could be heard from the Sky Poison Pearl.
When I first came here, it was like falling into an unreal dream. Now, it was like the dream was shattered... and it was shattered so thoroughly and cruelly.
Qianye Ying’er opened her lips and wanted to say something, but sensing that Yun Che’s heart was too heavy, she remained silent in the end.
After a long while, Yun Che opened his eyes and slowly walked towards the core of the Forbidden Land of Samsara… It was also the dream within the dream of that year.
The bamboo house that once existed has now turned into a field of dead bamboo.
The land that was once covered with magical herbs and flowers was now covered with scars, obviously having been bombarded by a huge force.
Amidst the ruins and withering, a faint ray of spiritual energy came. Yun Che's eyes moved violently and quickly moved forward. In his sight, he saw a cluster of extremely charming, yet also extremely incongruous exotic spiritual flowers.
Carefully stepping into the flowers, Yun Che’s gaze fixed on the bloodstain that had long since dried… The faint wisps of spiritual energy were the aura of light that belonged only to Shen Xi.
He slowly squatted down, carefully picked up the blood-stained soil, and placed it in a jade box.
Qianye Ying'er had been following him silently. Although she had often used Shen Xi's initiative to throw herself into Yun Che's arms to ridicule and even humiliate her, in order to give herself psychological balance and twisted pleasure, in this situation, she could only accompany him quietly and could not say any sarcastic words.
“Shen Xi,” Yun Che whispered softly, “You are not the Dragon Queen. Even if you are no longer alive, I will never allow the records of your future lives to be tainted with the name ‘Dragon Queen’.”
"Although, I still don't know what kind of feelings you have for me, or what your purpose is. I don't even know your true identity..."
“But these are no longer important. You are my Yun Che’s woman… This is the only thing I am absolutely sure of, and even you cannot deny it.”
“In the future, people will always remember that you are Emperor Yun’s Consort Xi.” Yun Che’s voice trembled slightly. “Unless you refuse in front of me, then… I will assume that you agree.”
Yun Che closed the jade box while mumbling, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was making a promise.
Humph... Qianye Ying'er snorted in her heart. He hasn't even been officially crowned emperor yet, and already there are names of concubines in the harem one after another!
At this moment, Yun Che suddenly realized something and turned his head abruptly, looking at the withered bamboo scattered on the ground… There, there was a faint aura of light coming from there.
He twisted his body and instantly appeared beside the dead bamboo.
The closer they were, the more Yun Che was sure that this was not an illusion. However, this aura of light was too weak. If he did not possess the profound power of light, he would not be able to detect it at all.
The source of the bright aura was not from the dead bamboo, but from deep under the feet.
"Hmm? What did you find?" Qianye Ying'er asked immediately.
Yun Che did not speak. He opened his five fingers and carefully sent a beam of power through them.
Bang!
There was a dull sound, and the ground ten feet deep evenly collapsed. Yun Che grabbed with his palm, and as the dust flew away, a simple bamboo token that was broken from bamboo joints appeared between his five fingers.
When the bamboo plate was turned over, a very elegant word "希" was engraved on it.
He could tell at a glance that this was written by Shen Xi with her jade finger, and where her fingertips touched, they left behind wisps of bright aura.
"Xi?" Qianye Ying'er whispered.
However, this ray of light was not the only one. Yun Che moved his left hand downwards, and as the ground cracked open again, another almost identical bamboo token was sucked into his palm.
The word "cloud" was engraved on this bamboo plaque. It was equally graceful and elegant, equally bright and overflowing. When one looked at it, one could seem to sense the gentle emotions in her heart as her jade fingers engraved it.
“Yun…Xiyun…Yunxi…Xiyun.” Qianye Ying’er narrowed her eyes and suddenly chuckled, “I was wondering if Shen Xi was treating you as a toy before, but I never expected that she really has feelings for you. The word ‘Xiyun’ really speaks volumes about my longing for you.”
“Don’t talk about her.” Yun Che slowly gathered the bamboo token in his palm.
Xiyun...
After she left that year, did she really have feelings for me...
Wasn't that dreamlike year just pure exploitation...
"Humph, I'm praising her." Qianye Ying'er retorted in a voice several notes lower.
"Let's go."
Yun Che did not stay any longer. Not long after, he left the Reincarnation Forbidden Land with Qianye Ying'er.
He did not forcibly destroy the barrier cast by Long Bai. This was the place where Shen Xi once lived. Even if she was no longer there, he did not want to be disturbed by outsiders.
As soon as he left the barrier, Yun Che received a voice transmission from Huan Jin.
"My Lord, the Master said that when she was counting the things left by the Dragon God, she made some 'interesting' discoveries. Please go to the Dragon God's Domain when you are free."
"What's the matter?" Qianye Ying'er asked.
Yun Che grabbed her wrist and said, “Let’s go to Dragon God Territory.”
"The Dragon God Realm has a million years of dominance after all, so please don't let me down."
