Chapter 156 Searching for the Turbulent Spacetime: The Heavenly Dao of the Nine Spirit Realms was so angry it was practically thundering...
For Song Yin and Shi Heming, a century has passed and the problem of the great formation has been solved. The most important thing now is to find the spacetime turbulence and return to the Xuan Tian Realm as soon as possible.
After settling in at Gu Yuezong's residence, the two of them first recuperated from their injuries. It took them half a year to rest and recuperate, and with Song Yin's endless supply of elixirs, they quickly recovered.
As agreed, the two, after recovering, would visit and instruct the disciples of the Guyue Sect every now and then.
At first, everything was normal, and the disciples were all obedient and dared not cause trouble. But later, somehow, rumors spread that the Guyue Sect had two new patriarchs, and that its foundation was comparable to that of other major sects.
So whenever these disciples saw Song Yin or Shi Heming, they would say something like that.
"This disciple greets the two venerable ancestors."
As Song Yin walked through the Valley Yue Sect, she encountered a few disciples bowing to her as she descended the steps. After they had walked a distance away, she said, "Haha, we've become ancestors too."
Shi Heming: "When we cultivate to the Tribulation Transcending stage or the Great Ascension stage one day, everyone who sees us will have to call us Ancestor."
The birdsong in the woods was crisp and clear, and sunlight filtered through the gaps, dappling the two of them and casting a golden glow on the forest path before them.
"This disciple greets the two patriarchs." Another disciple saw this and bowed respectfully, not daring to make the slightest mistake. He only finished bowing and left after the two patriarchs had gone far away.
On her way out, Song Yin encountered an estimated twenty or thirty disciples.
"I didn't expect to run into so many people even when taking a back road." Song Yin and the others had set out this time to search for the spacetime turbulence. Waiting around in Gu Yue Zong for a long time wasn't a solution, so they decided to go out for a stroll and try their luck.
Shi Heming: "We've already told Gu Tongguang about our search for the spacetime turbulence, and he's helping us look for it too."
Song Yin: "Sigh, now the situation is completely reversed. I finally understand why Gu Tongguang was in such a hurry to return to the Nine Spirit Realm."
Shi Heming: "Given our luck in randomly encountering spacetime turbulence, we might just run into it on a trip out."
Song Yin: "I hope so."
Song Yin also thought this matter was not difficult, but as it turned out, she spoke too soon.
The spacetime turbulence appeared in very random places, so the two of them flew around like headless flies, unable to find a specific place.
Several years passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, they received a message from Gu Tongguang. When they rushed to the place with the spacetime turbulence, the turbulence had already disappeared. After many twists and turns, the two returned to a familiar place, the Youluo Black Corner Region.
"We've traveled all over the Nine Spirit Realms, and we haven't even encountered a single spacetime turbulence." Song Yin was exhausted from searching for spacetime turbulence; she had long lost her initial fighting spirit. Now, her view on spacetime turbulence was simply to let things take their course. "Let it be. We'll encounter it sooner or later anyway. I refuse to believe we can't go back."
Shi Heming remained silent for a long time, pondering a question.
Song Yin: "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Shi Heming: "When we decided to come to the Youluo Black Corner Region, a question came to mind."
"What's the problem? Tell me."
"I have destroyed the method for creating the great array that connects the two realms, and I also killed the only person in the Nine Spirits Realm who knew the core details. Perhaps the disciple of the Shangci True Person also knew, but Lu Junxuan's soul was also erased by Gu Tongguang. Now, the only person in the Nine Spirits Realm who knows the core details... is me." Shi Heming raised his eyes and stared at the sky of the Nine Spirits Realm.
Song Yin stopped and turned sharply to look at him: "You read the core content?"
Shi Heming turned his gaze back to Song Yin and nodded gently.
Just like Song Yin was captivated by the pill formula, Shi Heming was curious when he saw the array diagram.
Knowing the key information, Song Yin quickly connected the scattered details in her mind and transmitted her voice: "So you are guessing that the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Spirit Realms is deliberately preventing us from encountering the spacetime turbulence and returning. If we want to go back, we must build a great array to open a passage."
Shi Heming transmitted his voice: "That's right. I hadn't thought of that before, until you suggested going to the Youluo Black Corner Region a few days ago, which suddenly made me realize something."
"..." Song Yin looked up at the sky, and after a long while she scoffed, "Dream on, dream on."
A thunderous roar suddenly echoed in the sky.
A roadside vendor wondered, "Why is it thundering all of a sudden? I thought it would be a sunny day. Oh well, I'd better pack up and go home early to avoid getting soaked."
Boom—
Another clap of thunder seemed to urge Song Yin and Shi Heming to make a choice.
Two claps of thunder sent many ordinary people who hadn't brought umbrellas rushing home.
Song Yin suddenly smiled and said to Shi Heming, "Look, He's getting anxious."
As if to confirm Song Yin's words, another thunderclap rang out, shaking the ground beneath their feet.
Pedestrians hurried home.
"The weather turned sweet as soon as it changed, and there are still clothes at home that were washed this morning."
"My child ran out to play, and I don't know if he ran home when he heard thunder."
Song Yin and Shi Heming stood amidst the hurried pedestrians, like boulders in a stream, unmoved by the rushing water.
Knowing why she couldn't find the spacetime turbulence, Song Yin was no longer in a hurry to go back.
"Since something is blocking our way home, then we won't go back. The lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator is five thousand years. Anyway, we're still young, so we might as well wear it down for a few thousand years."
Rumble—!!
Shi Heming: "Okay."
Knowing that they could not find any spacetime turbulence in the Netherworld Black Corner Region, the two of them transformed into streaks of light and flew away, then appeared on a flying boat and piloted it towards the Valley Peak Sect.
Since no one was undergoing tribulation and the two had not done anything immoral, even if the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Spirits Realm wanted to strike them with lightning, it wouldn't work.
On the flying boat, Song Yin leisurely brewed herself a pot of tea, completely at ease.
Song Yin wasn't in a hurry, and so was Shi Heming.
Song Yin: "Actually, it's fine not to go back."
"Um?"
"We are currently using the spiritual energy of the Nine Spirit Realm for cultivation. The higher our cultivation level, the more spiritual energy we need. Since He won't let us leave, we have no choice but to plunder the spiritual energy of the Nine Spirit Realm."
Rumble—!!!
Shi Heming looked as if he had just discovered a new world, and said, "That makes sense."
Song Yin continued speaking to the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Spirits Realm who was monitoring them: "And also, with our current cultivation level, we can do whatever we want in the Nine Spirits Realm. Burning, killing, and looting are all within our power. If we turn this world upside down, He will surely suffer as well. If we integrate the cultivation resources of this world, it will be enough for us to ascend smoothly."
"Ascension, then even He can't stop us."
Rumble—!!!
Rumble—!!!
Shi Heming couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You really angered Him."
Song Yin: "As the saying goes, it's easy to invite a god but hard to send him away. My morality is not high, so don't blame me if countless people die or are injured. Blame the heavenly order of this world."
The thunder ceased to rumble in the sky.
Song Yin glanced sideways, and surprisingly, she wasn't angry anymore.
Her words were merely meant to provoke the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Spirit Realms. She knew very well that even if she did this, she might not be able to return; instead, she would bear the karmic burden of an entire world.
We still need to find a way to go back.
Song Yin gazed at the sky in silence.
Upon returning to Gu Yuezong, Gu Tongguang personally came to greet the two of them.
Gu Tongguang: "How was the trip? Did you gain anything?"
Song Yin: "Yes, there is, but we still need to think of a way to get back. You should also tell your people to stop looking for time-space turbulence, because they won't find it."
"Why are you so sure?" Gu Tongguang asked in surprise.
Song Yin turned her head and said helplessly, "This is what we gained from this trip: knowing that we can't leave the Nine Spirit Realm for the time being."
"This..." Gu Tongguang frowned. He was the one who brought the two of them to the Nine Spirits Realm, and now that they couldn't go back, he also had a responsibility. "I will continue to help you search. If you really can't go back, then Gu Yuezong will be your home in the Nine Spirits Realm. No matter what, I will stand by your side."
If they hadn't been given their own belongings, they wouldn't be facing this predicament. The Gu family was massacred because of him, and his friends couldn't return to the Immortal Firmament Sect because of him.
"sorry."
Song Yin and Shi Heming both looked at him. "Why did you say sorry?"
"I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be trapped in this world."
After a moment's thought, Song Yin understood. "This is not your fault, and you don't need to apologize or blame yourself. There is a will of heaven in the dark, and it is also thanks to you for bringing us to the Nine Spirit Realm that we have been able to break through to our current cultivation level."
There is a divine will at play, the will of the Xuan Tian Realm. Indeed, it was Gu Tongguang who brought them to this realm, preventing chaos within the Xuan Tian Realm. If they hadn't come to the Nine Spirits Realm, and the great formation had been allowed to complete, the Xuan Tian Realm's Heavenly Dao would have ultimately swallowed the Nine Spirits Realm's Heavenly Dao, leading to chaos in the Xuan Tian Realm. They too would have been doomed; when the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken…
An unnamed hilltop.
Song Yin placed a pile of books in front of Shi Heming, saying, "These are all new books sent by Gu Tongguang. He also collected many ancient books for us."
Shi Heming: "After reading this, even if we can't find a new way back, we won't be at a disadvantage."
Song Yin sat down next to Shi Heming, casually picked up a book and opened it to read. "Yes, there is some knowledge that doesn't even exist in the Xuan Tian Realm. Reading it can broaden our horizons, give us new insights, and greatly benefit our cultivation."
The two huddled together on an unnamed hilltop, engrossed in their books, seemingly having truly given up on the idea of returning.
At night, Song Yin neither slept nor cultivated, but sat on the rooftop admiring the moon.
She gazed at the moonlight, lost in thought, and finally gently massaged the cloud-like patterns on her left wrist with her fingertips.
Could this cloud pattern connect to the upper realm? If the Nine Heavens Dao Lord can even evade the Heavenly Dao, rescuing him and Shi Heming would be a piece of cake.
Shi Heming carried a lantern into the courtyard, looked up and saw Song Yin on the roof. He also flew up to the roof and sat down next to her.
"Why didn't you go to rest?"
"I'm thinking of a new method, but I don't know if it will work."
Shi Heming: "Actually, I have read in ancient books that cultivators who reach the Mahayana stage can travel between the two realms by relying on special techniques, but there are many restrictions."
Song Yin: "Then we can focus on cultivation, reach the Mahayana stage, and then go back. Maybe we can even give them a surprise."
"Yinyin."
"Um?"
"Don't worry, we'll go back."
"I know."
The two sat together, quietly admiring the moonlight.
After a long silence, Song Yin spoke up, "I also have a new method, but it might not work." She suddenly stood up and leaped off the roof. "Why don't we try it now? Even if we fail, it won't be a loss; if we succeed, everything will be fine!"
Song Yin gazed at the starry sky, and the Milky Way seemed to begin to change rapidly in her eyes again, just like the scene she saw when she activated that unknown object in the secret room of Master Ci of the Taiqing Sect.
The creatures on the nameless mountain were inexplicably uneasy.
