"Speak now. You and I were once master and disciple, and I still have quite a bit of affection for you. After all, I raised you." Yun Gu stared at Yun Che, a smile on his face, full of kindness. At this moment, he seemed both a strict teacher and a loving father. "Yun Che, I have no reservations about you. I hope you won't make it difficult for me. The next time we meet, you can make the wisest choice."
A look of confidence crossed Yun Gu's face. He believed he knew Yun Che like the back of his hand, and knew the most effective way to control him was to use the women around him as a threat. As long as he used them to threaten Yun Che, Yun Che would definitely be hesitant to act rashly. Therefore, he was certain that Yun Che would eventually agree to his proposal.
As one of the most ancient beings in the world, the Ancestral Sword Spirit of the Heaven-Slaying Sword had long since mastered the art of perceiving the human heart, possessing a profound insight into human nature. Without this, how could he have manipulated the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor so effectively, forcing the Supreme God Emperor to act against his will time and again?
Offspring...
Best friend...
brother……
The Heaven-Slaying God Emperor wielded the Heaven-Slaying Ancestral Sword only three times in his life, yet he severed the figures he cherished most in his life one by one...
Yun Che's face remained calm. He turned a deaf ear to the false and hypocritical words of the Heaven-Slaying Ancestral Sword Spirit. He knew in his heart that the most urgent task was to obtain more effective and key information from the other party and then find out its weaknesses.
Yun Che firmly believed that the Ancestral Heaven Slaying Sword Spirit was by no means invincible. Just as the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations, despite possessing the ultimate power of darkness, was still restrained by the power of light, the Ancestral Heaven Slaying Sword must also have means to limit or check it.
Everything in the world has its own checks and balances; this was the fundamental law that the Ancestral God followed when creating this chaotic world. Therefore, Yun Che was certain that the Heaven-Slaying Ancestral Sword Spirit was not invincible either.
“Back then, were you the one who instigated Shen Xi to jump into the Well of Samsara and into the abyss?” Yun Che finally asked the question that had been buried deep in his heart for a long time.
"Yes, it was me. At that time, I sensed the faint aura of the Heaven-Smiting Devil Emperor and, through the Qiankun Spear, learned that she was still alive. Clearly, the laws of this world could no longer sustain beings as powerful as the Creator God and the Devil Emperor. Therefore, I had to plan ahead, reclaim my own power, and prevent this chaotic world from slipping out of my control." Yun Gu acknowledged with a nod. "However, tracing back to you, all of this stems from you. Originally, my soul would not have awakened from its slumber, but due to your union with Shen Xi, a trace of the Ancestral God's aura remained in her, awakening my dormant soul."
Yun Che's body trembled slightly for a moment. He finally understood the real reason why Shen Xi had seduced him back then. It wasn't just because he bore the bloodline of the Ancient Azure Dragon, but also because of his Void Saint Body. He carried the aura of the Ancestral God, and this aura could help Shen Xi break the seal of the Forbidden Land of Samsara...
Yun Che couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, but this complex emotion was quickly dispelled without a trace by the following words of the Ancestral Sword Spirit of the Heaven Slaying Sect.
"Actually, the Sky-Smiting Devil Emperor alone wouldn't have caused me to feel too much fear. At that time, it was only my spirit dormant in the Ancestral Sword of Heaven-Slaying that was touched, while my consciousness hadn't yet awakened." Yun Gu spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he didn't take the Sky-Smiting Devil Emperor seriously.
“It seems that the power of your soul alone has surpassed all true gods, even the Creator God and the Devil Emperor.” Yun Che slowly raised the Heaven Smiting Devil Slayer Sword and pointed it directly at the Heaven Slayer Ancestral Sword Spirit. “I still have one question. Was it you who controlled Long Bai back then and made him attack Shen Xi?”
Yun Che's face was already covered with frost. Although Long Bai and he were sworn enemies, he was fully aware of Long Bai's infatuation with Shen Xi.
It was a burning, deep affection that had spanned a full three hundred thousand years, undiminished in the slightest. No matter the circumstances, Long Bai would never actively harm Shen Xi.
Therefore, even after learning that Shen Xi was pregnant with someone else's child, he absolutely could not bring himself to take action.
When Shen Xi first recounted the story of the past in the Forbidden Land of Samsara, Yun Che did not give it much thought. His heart was simply filled with resentment, and he wished he could cut Long Bai into pieces.
But after calming down, Yun Che suddenly felt something was amiss. He began to replay the situation in his mind, putting himself in Long Bai's shoes. It was clear that even in his state of mental collapse, Long Bai would not actively harm Shen Xi.
So, what exactly led to this tragedy?
Perhaps there is only one answer: all of this is being manipulated by the Ancestral Sword Spirit of Zhutian, who is trying to force Shen Xi to jump into the Well of Samsara.
At that time, Long Bai was most likely controlled by the Ancestral Sword Spirit, which led him to do something that went against his temperament and identity.
“I didn’t expect you to even think of this.” A hint of surprise flashed across Yun Gu’s face, and he was amazed at Yun Che’s keen insight.
"However, what you said is not entirely accurate. At that time, Shen Xi used the profound power of light to cover up the signs of her pregnancy and also concealed the breath of Yun Xi in her belly. With Long Bai's soul, which was only at the Divine Lord Realm, it was impossible for him to sense Yun Xi's existence. It was only when I briefly attached my soul power to Long Bai that he learned of the fact that Shen Xi was pregnant." Yun Gu put his hands behind his back, a look of reminiscence on his face.
"Perhaps his love was too profound, so at the moment of betrayal, his inner defenses collapsed. Long Bai seemed completely consumed by pain and despair, his rationality instantly evaporating. His eyes were bloodshot, his face contorted, and he uncontrollably emitted a profound light filled with boundless grief and indignation, fiercely blasting towards Shen Xi's stomach."
