Chapter 121 Chapter 121 The Book of Destiny is Song Wulan
Jiang Zhaoxue's words were not surprising. She had always known that Ye Tianjiao was hiding something from her, but she also knew that there must be a reason why Ye Tianjiao didn't say it, and she wouldn't get anything out of him even if she forced her to ask.
Seeing Pei Zichen's attitude at this moment, she knew that Pei Zichen probably had an idea in his mind. He was taking her there now and had no intention of hiding it from her. She felt relieved and watched Pei Zichen pick up the sound transmission jade token on the ground and hand it to her. As soon as she took the sound transmission jade token and touched it with her finger, she heard Ye Tianjiao's voice rushing over: "Sister, are you awake?"
"Sister, don't sleep. There are a lot of things waiting for you."
"Sister, these demon cultivators have already fought outside the hall!"
"sister……"
…
When Jiang Zhaoxue heard that "the demon cultivators have already fought outside the main hall," she couldn't help but glance at Pei Zichen. Pei Zichen said calmly, "It's okay. It's just a small disturbance caused by the remnants of Xinluoyi."
He nodded and added sincerely, "Ye Tianjiao can do it. You have to trust him."
"Ha ha……"
Jiang Zhaoxue laughed dryly, pretending not to know that Pei Zichen was deliberately leaving Ye Tianjiao alone. He lowered his head and sent a message to Ye Tianjiao: "Tianjiao, where are you?"
"sister!!!"
After receiving a response, a noisy voice came from Ye Tianjiao's side, panting, "At the entrance of the hall, you... you quickly bring Pei Zichen over!"
As he spoke, Ye Tianjiao sighed, not knowing what he was thinking of. "Forget it, it's almost over. Find a place to wait for me. I'll take a shower and come over. There's so much blood, it stinks."
"Okay." Jiang Zhaoxue knew from his tone that a great battle had just taken place, so she said calmly, "Then Zichen and I will wait for you at the waterside pavilion."
After finishing the discussion with Ye Tianjiao, Jiang Zhaoxue turned to look at Pei Zichen. She wanted to ask something, but in the end she said, "Let's go to the waterside pavilion and wait for him first."
Pei Zichen didn't say much, nodded, and took Jiang Zhaoxue to the water pavilion. After the two sat down, Yin Zhixian came forward to pour tea for them and arrange everything.
After waiting for a while, Ye Tianjiao came over in a hurry. Seeing the two of them, Ye Tianjiao paused. Pei Zichen looked over and saw Ye Tianjiao's hesitant and bewildered look. He said calmly, "Come in and sit down."
"Uh, I..."
"Ye Tianjiao."
Pei Zichen called out his name, and Ye Tianjiao was stunned. Then he heard Pei Zichen ask: "Or should I say, Gu Jinglan?"
Hearing this name, Jiang Zhaoxue was stunned for a moment, and looked up at the stunned people in the courtyard in astonishment. Finally, she realized why Ye Tianjiao had been avoiding Pei Zichen!
She remembered the name Gu Jinglan. He was the junior fellow apprentice who died in front of Pei Zichen when he fell off the cliff.
Just to seek justice for this junior fellow apprentice and redress the wrongs done to his fellow apprentices, Pei Zichen risked his life to snatch the Tracing Light Mirror. With the help of the Nine Netherworld Realm Demon Cultivator, he obtained the Tracing Light Mirror and fell into the time and space of a thousand years ago with her.
She couldn't figure out this matter, and later she just thought that Xin Luoyi was pushing the matter forward in order to let Pei Zichen get the five artifacts. She didn't expect that this matter was actually related to Ye Tianjiao!
Since Pei Zichen knew that Ye Tianjiao was Gu Jinglan, with his current temperament, he even hated her to death, let alone Ye Tianjiao, the liar?
If it had happened a few days ago, Ye Tianjiao might have been killed by him as soon as he showed his head.
But why is Ye Tianjiao Gu Jinglan? Is he also helping Pei Zichen get the artifact?
Why do they know where the artifact is?
No True Immortal Realm fortune teller had ever predicted the birth of a divine artifact. How did they know? Was Li Xiuji's plan for Pei Zichen to obtain the artifact a plan he had planned all along? How exactly did they plan this?
And how did Pei Zichen know that Ye Tianjiao belonged to Gu Jinglan?
Questions flashed through Jiang Zhaoxue's mind one after another. Jiang Zhaoxue looked at the stunned Ye Tianjiao. Seeing him staring at Pei Zichen for a long time, she smiled bitterly and said slowly, "I was originally thinking that it would be better if you could forget what I said back then. I didn't expect you to have such a good memory."
As he spoke, Ye Tianjiao sighed and walked into the pavilion. Pei Zichen stood up on his own initiative and sat next to Jiang Zhaoxue, giving his seat to Ye Tianjiao.
Ye Tianjiao sat across from Pei Zichen, watching him calmly pour him tea. He then secretly glanced at Jiang Zhaoxue beside him, coughed lightly, and said, "Well, you can talk so nicely..."
Ye Tianjiao raised his eyes tentatively and looked at Pei Zichen: "How about I take your pulse and see how your divine core is condensing?"
"good."
Pei Zichen did not push the tea to Ye Tianjiao, but put his wrist in front of him.
Ye Tianjiao became happy and said hurriedly: "I think you are almost well now, you trust me so much..."
Before he could finish his words, Ye Tianjiao's smile froze.
Jiang Zhaoxue immediately leaned over and asked nervously, "How is it?"
"The divine core is there." Ye Tianjiao frowned, "but why isn't it fully grown?"
Ye Tianjiao immediately gave an answer as soon as he said this, and said optimistically: "Maybe it just started last night, but given time, it will definitely be completed. By then, he can return to Pei Zichen's body and completely become a god."
"Is this your plan?"
Pei Zichen suddenly spoke, and Ye Tianjiao paused.
Pei Zichen stared at him without a trace of leniency in his eyes, and said calmly: "Is this why you lied to me?"
Ye Tianjiao listened and drank his tea slowly. He glanced at Jiang Zhaoxue beside him and laughed again. He looked up at Pei Zichen, his eyes solemn but with a hint of joking: "My Lord, if you want to ask about this matter, I will naturally tell you everything I know. But the Immortal Lord of the True Immortal Realm is here. Are you sure you want me to speak here?"
"explain."
Pei Zichen did not hesitate.
"Alright," Ye Tianjiao crossed his legs and changed his posture, pretending to talk for a long time. After thinking for a moment, he sighed, "I have already told my sister about this matter in general. I think Xin Luoyi should have told you about it in general as well. If she wants to hide something, she should hide Li Xiuji's plan."
"What's his plan?"
"You should be able to feel now that your body has been suppressed by a certain force." Ye Tianjiao looked at Pei Zichen and said firmly, "This power is the Book of Destiny. The Book of Destiny can erase all those whose fate is different from that recorded in it. The more you deviate from the track, the greater the impact on the world, and the stronger the power it can exert on you. Two hundred years ago, Li Xiuji's demigod body was on the verge of collapse. In order to survive, he fought a desperate battle in the Cangming Sea, hoping to enter the True Immortal Realm and destroy the Book of Destiny. In the end, under the suppression of the Book of Destiny, he was still captured by the God-Slaying Formation created by dozens of Mahayana cultivators in the True Immortal Realm. In fact, he was going to die at that time-"
Ye Tianjiao said, looking up at Jiang Zhaoxue: "But you gave her a Qiankun Lottery Stake a thousand years ago. That stick blocked the fatal blow of the God-Slaying Formation for him, so he didn't die, but was sealed in the Cangming Sea."
Jiang Zhaoxue listened, opened her eyes wide in shock, and was a little at a loss for a moment.
It was actually her——
The lot she gave to Li Xiu Ji saved Li Xiu Ji.
"What happened next?" Jiang Zhaoxue asked immediately, "My lot was for him to survive. He was saved once by me, so he has a chance to survive?"
"Indeed," Ye Tianjiao nodded. "When your lot shattered, he saw the location of the Heavenly Secret Jade. The Heavenly Secret Jade is the source of the five divine artifacts. With the Heavenly Secret Jade, he will be recognized by the Time Mirror, and with the Light Tracing Mirror, he can trace the locations of all the artifacts. With the artifacts, he has the possibility of becoming a god and reversing his fate." He then sent me a message, saying that he would send his soul into reincarnation and asked me to find the Heavenly Secret Jade. When he reincarnates into the world, the Nine Nether Realm will spare no effort to find the artifact for him. The reincarnation that obtains the artifact, regardless of whether it returns to the divine shell or not, will become the new Demon Lord of the Nine Nether Realm. He also told me that if anyone in this world can destroy the Book of Destiny, it must be this reincarnation."
"So you were the one who found the Heavenly Secret Jade?" Jiang Zhaoxue was a little confused. "Then back then..."
"It's all arranged."
Ye Tianjiao smiled bitterly and whispered, "After I received Li Xiuji's order, I began to search for the Heavenly Secret Jade, while Xin Luoyi went to find Li Xiuji's reincarnation. We searched for a long time, but we knew that the Book of Destiny must be more perceptive than us, so we arranged for people to go to the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion to investigate every Forsaken. Two hundred years later, I heard that there was a Forsaken named Pei Zichen, and I immediately rushed over. When I rushed over..."
Ye Tianjiao thought about it and raised his eyebrows: "He was just rescued by you."
Jiang Zhaoxue knew the time as soon as she heard it, and couldn't help but ask, "Then what?"
"The moment I saw him, I realized that my brother Pei Zichen from back then was this child. So I secretly followed him. He was determined to go to the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion, so I escorted him all the way there. After he joined the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion, I fabricated the identity of Gu Jinglan. After getting close to him, I would secretly take his blood every night to feed the Heavenly Secret Jade. When he was seventeen, the Heavenly Secret Jade was about to awaken, so I notified Mu Jinyue and asked her to arrange for Pei Zichen to go to Wuyue Forest. Unexpectedly—"
"I didn't expect she would use such a method to frame me." Jiang Zhaoxue understood. "She used Ling Min Powder to frame me. Shen Yuqing must have taken the disciples to Wu Yuelin, and Pei Zichen also had the opportunity to go to Wu Yuelin."
"That's right," Ye Tianjiao nodded and added, "The Jade of Heavenly Secrets was awakened by feeding it with his blood. As long as he appears near the Jade of Heavenly Secrets, the Jade of Heavenly Secrets will be fully awakened. As long as they meet, the Jade of Heavenly Secrets will definitely belong to him."
So at that time, no matter how she tried to snatch it, the Tianji Lingyu would turn a corner and crash into Pei Zichen's body.
"What happened after that?" Jiang Zhaoxue asked immediately, "Did you also arrange the deaths of those disciples?"
“That’s really not the case!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Tianjiao immediately became anxious and waved his hands, saying, "You can't put all the blame on us. We've been together as brothers for so long, and I have my humanity too!"
Talking about what happened at that time, Ye Tianjiao's eyes showed a bit of guilt. He pursed his lips and said, "When the Tianji Lingyu was born, I didn't expect it to be swallowed by a snake by mistake. Gu Jinglan's body is not my real body. I was busy with my own affairs and couldn't save them. When I woke up after recuperating at the foot of the mountain, you had already gone to the judgment platform. I wanted to save you!"
Ye Tianjiao's eyes showed reluctance: "At that time, I wanted to clear the name of my brothers and save you."
“But Silla thinks it’s a good opportunity.”
Pei Zichen understood everything and said calmly, "So she arranged for someone to kill Gu Jinglan in front of me to provoke me and guide me to seize the Tracing Light Mirror. With the Heavenly Secret Jade, I will gain the recognition of all the artifacts. You are counting on me to obtain all the artifacts under the guidance of the Tracing Light Mirror, and then to make the feud between the Heling Sword Immortal Pavilion and the True Immortal Realm irreconcilable."
Pei Zichen said, looking up at Ye Tianjiao: "And you, maybe you wanted to save me at the beginning, but after everything happened, you didn't even think of coming to me to explain."
"It's not that I don't want to explain to you."
Ye Tianjiao listened with a troubled look on his face, and said, "I just..."
He hesitated for a long time, and finally whispered: "I'm just waiting for you."
As he spoke, he lowered his eyes to look at the teacup in front of him and whispered, "My name is Gu Jinglan, this is my explanation. When you come out of the time mirror, you should know who I am."
Pei Zichen listened without saying anything. During the silence, Jiang Zhaoxue glanced at the two young men who were looking to the sides. After thinking for a long time, he coughed lightly and said, "So, that's all?"
The two turned their heads and looked over, only to see Jiang Zhaoxue summing up: "Tianjiao doesn't dare to see Pei Zichen, because he's afraid that Pei Zichen will blame you for lying to him? What you've been refusing to tell me is that the incident with Wu Yuelin was orchestrated by you, and everything that happened during Pei Zichen's search for the five artifacts was orchestrated by Li Xiuji?"
"yes."
Ye Tianjiao calmed down and nodded, "I'm afraid you'll blame me, and I'm also afraid you'll resent him."
"What do I resent him for?"
Jiang Zhaoxue was puzzled. Ye Tianjiao paused. Jiang Zhaoxue thought about it and then understood something: "Am I a part of Li Xiuji's plan?"
Pei Zichen and Ye Tianjiao froze when these words were spoken.
Pei Zichen seemed a little bewildered, but Jiang Zhaoxue looked at Ye Tianjiao with a smile and asked, "Is it Li Xiuji's plan for me to become a Seventh Realm Master, form a Soul Locking Formation with Pei Zichen, and help him search for the artifact?"
"I……"
Ye Tianjiao listened and said vaguely: "I don't know..."
"Not sure?" Jiang Zhaoxue was puzzled. "How could you not know? Don't you know whether I am part of your plan?"
"I'm not sure about that." Ye Tianjiao said, seeming to be distressed. "Li Xiuji didn't tell me that you were in the plan. According to our plan, Xinluoyi should have tricked Shen Yuqing into taking her into the Tracing Light Mirror to help Pei Zichen obtain the artifact. After the artifact is obtained, Pei Zichen and the True Immortal Realm have a deep hatred, so he has no choice but to follow us back to Jiuyou. After that, if Xinluoyi can continue to be an undercover agent, she should stay here to facilitate our attack on the True Immortal Realm in one fell swoop."
"What a coincidence." Anan said immediately after hearing it, "Isn't this the plot in the book?"
"But I went with Pei Zichen." Jiang Zhaoxue listened. "Did you guys expect me to go?"
"It was actually expected," Ye Tianjiao sighed. "After all, we've all seen you in the past and knew you would go. But Xin Luoyi always held onto a little hope, wondering if she could change the outcome. I guess she originally thought that if she could use the Lingwan San incident to uproot your spiritual roots, everything would be solved once and for all, but in the end she still couldn't stop you. After you went to the Tracing Light Mirror, Xin Luoyi scolded you for three days. I heard from her subordinates that she was so angry that she didn't practice for several days."
“Oh,” Jiang Zhaoxue raised the corners of his mouth immediately when he heard that Silla Yi was unhappy, and said with a suppressed smile, “Since it’s all outside your plan, how can you say that you don’t know whether I am part of the plan?”
"Because although Li Xiuji didn't end up assigning you to the position, he did ask me about the Soul Locking Formation many years ago. He also told me that if you don't know how to use it, remember to let me teach you."
Ye Tianjiao spoke, his voice becoming increasingly quiet: "But later on, I saw that you didn't seem to be incapable of it..."
"So you knew from the beginning that I had placed a soul-locking formation on him?"
"Only me." Ye Tianjiao shook his head and said seriously, "It's just that he didn't assign me to do anything else, so I didn't interfere. I finished the tasks he assigned to me and just waited for the final result."
As he spoke, Ye Tianjiao frowned, as if thinking, "Actually, according to our imagination, when you returned from the Tracing Light Mirror, Pei Zichen should have obtained all the artifacts and returned to the Divine Shell. But unexpectedly, he didn't get the recognition of the artifacts. He couldn't return to the Divine Shell and insisted on staying in the True Immortal Realm. At the time, I thought it was fine for him to stay. Why would he need to return to the Nine Netherworld Realm, so I didn't care much. But in the end, after he cut the marriage thread and his soul left his body, he actually came back."
Ye Tianjiao looked at Pei Zichen curiously, "How did you come back?"
"It was the Heavenly Jade and the God-Slaying Sword that helped me."
Pei Zichen spoke truthfully, and Ye Tianjiao was a little surprised: "You have been recognized by the artifact?"
"yes."
Pei Zichen nodded, then continued, "But they cannot be used by bodies condensed by resentment. They are dormant now, and I can't contact them."
"No wonder." Jiang Zhaoxue said immediately after hearing this, "I can't contact Yuan Luo either."
"If you can't contact them, you can't truly become a god," Ye Tianjiao sighed, "If you can't become a god, you won't last long in this body."
"Then how can we eliminate the resentment in his body and awaken the spirit of the weapon?" Jiang Zhaoxue immediately understood the key.
"Wait."
Ye Tianjiao raised his hand and gestured towards Pei Zichen. "The resentment in him is because he has no body. He needs enough strength to form a shell to house his body. As long as he possesses a divine core, has good intentions, absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and fills the divine shell with the power of nature, the resentment will naturally be squeezed out. Now that his divine core has taken shape, you all should cheer him on and work hard. Let him transform the power in this body into spiritual energy and that's it."
"So I can't kill the Book of Destiny now?"
Pei Zichen suddenly spoke, and Ye Tianjiao was a little surprised: "Why do you want to kill it now?"
"It's watching the lady."
Everyone present was a little surprised when these words came out. Pei Zichen glanced at Jiang Zhaoxue and said calmly, "The reason I agreed to let the Lady come to the Nine Netherworld Realm is because I sensed its presence around her."
"etc!"
Jiang Zhaoxue finally realized something when she heard this. She said in disbelief, "You've been talking for so long, are you saying that the Book of Destiny still exists in the world?"
"good."
Pei Zichen nodded and raised his eyes worriedly: "I can feel its presence."
As a demigod spirit, he is far more perceptive than anyone else.
Jiang Zhaoxue couldn't understand why and couldn't help asking, "But didn't you destroy it? You used the God-Slaying Sword to sever the bond that bound it, and its power leaked out immediately. Its body is still in my hands. I personally examined it, but it was completely lifeless, without any spiritual energy flowing. And now you say it still exists. How did it do that?"
The artifact itself is damaged, so it should have disappeared.
If there is no spiritual energy flowing in the Book of Destiny, what exactly did Pei Zichen sense?
"Maybe..." Ye Tianjiao listened nearby and tried to answer, "The book you examined was a fake?"
"Impossible." Jiang Zhaoxue said firmly, "When I personally examined it, it must have been the Book of Destiny."
"Then there is only one possibility."
Pei Zichen thought for a long time and spoke in a deep voice.
Jiang Zhaoxue looked over and found that both sides already had the answer.
Pei Zichen said affirmatively: "The spirit of the Book of Destiny has another carrier."
The core power of a divine weapon with a spirit resides in the spirit. As long as the spirit finds another place to rest, it will continue to exist.
But the spirit of the weapon is a spiritual body, it cannot be separated from the main body for too long unless there is something else to carry it.
What can carry the spirit of an instrument?
At this moment, a person appeared in everyone's mind.
"Void Body..."
Jiang Zhaoxue murmured, recalling Song Wulan's last fanatical look when he was asking questions about his ancestors at the altar.
She suddenly understood who he was promising when he said "I promise you".
"Song Wulan!"
The three of them spoke together, looking surprised.
At this time, in the blood pool, Xinluoyi slowly poked her head out of the blood and saw a young man sitting on a stone nearby, spinning a fan.
“Long time no see.” The young man tilted his head and smiled, “Silla Yi.”
"Song Wulan..."
Silla Yi croaked, tilting her head in confusion: “You’re not dead?”
"God, how could I die?"
Song Wu Lan laughed out loud and moved closer to her: "I have a big gift, do you want it?"
"What?"
"You, want to become a god?"
