Chapter 893: The Godslayer
Not long after the message was sent, Ling replied:
"Your Highness?! Is it really you, Your Highness! You finally responded to Ling... Ling, Qingzhu, Baishuang, and Azi were all very worried about you!"
Ling's anxious voice came from the communication stone. Ye Fei's lips curled slightly as she said softly, "I'm fine here, don't worry."
"That's good! Does Your Highness need Ling to do anything?"
"Um... it's like this, I'd like you to help me investigate a human powerhouse named 'Shun,' whose current cultivation level should be at the demigod level..."
Ling paused for a moment on the other end of the communication stone, then exclaimed in surprise, "A human powerhouse at the demigod level? His name is Shun? Your Highness, has he come to cause you trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Fei was surprised: "You know him?"
Ling replied respectfully, "I know quite a bit about the rumors surrounding him."
rumor?
Ye Fei became even more curious: "What rumors are there about him?"
"Four hundred years ago, his cultivation had already reached the demigod level, making him arguably the strongest person in the human realm at present."
Ye Fei: "Wait, four hundred years ago? Then how old is he now..."
Ling's voice was tinged with amusement: "Humans who reach a certain level of cultivation can indeed have a longer lifespan and can choose to rejuvenate and maintain a youthful appearance."
"As far as Ling knows, Shun is at least five hundred years old."
Ye Fei clicked her tongue in surprise.
Recalling Shun's young and handsome face... it's truly hard to believe he's lived for five hundred years.
"According to legend, Shun had a partner by his side. They cultivated together and climbed to the peak together. They were a very famous divine couple at the time. Later, their cultivation reached the demigod level. They were only one step away from ascending to the Ninth Heaven and officially becoming the unattainable 'god'."
"However, when they agreed to go to the Ninth Heaven together, Shun's enemies came looking for him. In a moment of desperation, Shun told his partner to go to the Ninth Heaven first to become a god. When he arrived at the Ninth Heaven after dealing with his enemies, he learned that his partner had perished there..."
Ye Fei was surprised: "Shun's partner...why did he die in the Nine Heavens?"
"Shun's companion was a gentle and beautiful woman who was coveted by another Nascent Soul cultivator when she arrived at the Ninth Heaven alone. The Nascent Soul cultivator was lusting after her beauty and pursued her repeatedly, but all his attempts ended in failure."
Driven by jealousy, the Nascent Soul cultivator used trickery to destroy her innocence, even attempting to frame her as a demon. Faced with condemnation from all the gods, she chose to prove her innocence with her death.
Ling paused for a moment, then continued, "The truth came too late in the end. In extreme grief and anger, Shun sought revenge for his lover, and his resentment and rage almost engulfed the entire Nine Heavens. In the end, he personally killed three Nascent Soul cultivators in the Nine Heavens, and from then on, he kept to himself and the Nine Heavens.
Ye Fei was astonished; in an instant… she had actually killed a god.
Although he was a demigod, killing a god meant that he actually possessed the ability to fight against a god!
"After that day, Shun disappeared from the Nine Heavens and even the mortal realm, and no one knew his whereabouts anymore. By the way, Your Highness, why did you suddenly ask about Shun? Did something happen?"
Ye Fei didn't hide anything: "Actually, I met Shun in the Arctic region. He wanted to take me as his disciple, and after thinking about it for a long time, I decided to become his disciple."
Ling was shocked: "Shun has always been elusive, how could he appear in the Arctic region? Your Highness, could he be an imposter?"
Ye Fei was both amused and exasperated: "I think it's probably not some fake... Anyway, I'm heading to the place I arranged to meet him now. Thank you for telling me all this."
