Chu Yi didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning she wanted to express was self-evident.
Yin Ming also sighed with regret, saying that the actions of the Divine Realm were truly infuriating, as if they had some kind of serious illness.
First, there was an elder who insisted on eliminating the resentment, but after failing, he desperately tried to cover it up so that no one would find out.
There were many more elders who, knowing it was wrong, still sacrificed their disciples to cover it up.
We really need to observe three seconds of silence for the disciples of the Divine Realm.
And that Northern Sea Divine Kun is truly pitiful, having been saddled with such a sect.
Thinking of that sacred Kun, there was still one thing Yin Ming couldn't understand.
Why didn't the Grand Elder execute the three of them in public, instead of throwing them into the Forsaken Land?
Even though Lingyao had already been struck by the Fifth Elder's Soul-Locking Palm, he would wake up sooner or later.
Isn't the Grand Elder afraid that the three of them might manage to escape and then go back to destroy his divine realm?
Although the protagonist only had a chance to escape because of this plot development, it still feels quite confusing.
After all, for the Grand Elder, everything that is happening now concerns him personally. He can't possibly follow the tropes of novels and plant a landmine that could kill him at any moment.
Or perhaps the Grand Elder has great faith in Sheng Kun's cultivation level? Or is there some other reason that Yin Ming couldn't have imagined?
Thinking about Sheng Kun's innate skills, Yin Ming vaguely guessed something. After expressing his thoughts, he indeed received Chu Yi's affirmation.
"That's right. The Grand Elder sent those who violated the sect rules to the Land of Forsaken Gods so that the Holy Kun could devour them and transform their cultivation."
Chu Yi looked out of the barrier, her beautiful eyes filled with a sense of shared sorrow. "Thousands of years ago, the Divine Realm always had two guardian beasts, one to maintain the great formation and the other to protect the sect."
"After the plan to transform resentment failed, the Holy Kun was abandoned. However, the Grand Elder discovered that although the Holy Kun was no longer in its right mind, it would still instinctively supply the array with its purest spiritual power to maintain the array's operation."
"Therefore, the Grand Elder did not break its contract with the sect's protective formation, but instead imprisoned it in this pool of underground water, allowing it to continue serving the divine realm."
"The resentment gathered by the formation back then lingered and settled here, turning this pool of groundwater into a river of resentment."
"Over thousands of years, the resentment in the River of Resentment has become increasingly refined. The sacred Kun has been eroded by it day and night, which is why it has gradually become what it is today."
Upon hearing about the fate of this Northern Sea Divine Kun, Yin Ming couldn't help but click his tongue in disbelief. It was truly tragic.
I knew it! The black water was a bit scary, but it wasn't enough to turn a ninth-realm demonic beast into a bloodthirsty monster. It must have absorbed it on its own.
Even though it's already like this, the Divine Realm still wants to squeeze out its last bit of value. With this kind of behavior, how dare they look down on the Demon Race? A bunch of hypocritical scoundrels!
Chu Yi's sleeves slipped from her shoulders as she placed her hands back on the stone table, her movements as she held the teacup exuding ease and comfort.
Although Chu Yi said it was a secret of the gods, Yin Ming could understand why she would tell these things to a few outsiders.
She's been suppressing her feelings for decades; if she doesn't let it out, she'll go crazy sooner or later.
Don't underestimate the power of venting. Sometimes it's better to say something than to keep it bottled up inside.
"If we can remove the black threads from your hands, will you be able to return to normal?" Feng Yan frowned, pondering a way to save you.
Chu Yi smiled calmly and shook her head gently. "It's no use. Over thousands of years, there have been many goddesses who have thought about saving themselves."
"But the black threads originate from the resentment that has accumulated in the cracks of the sect's protective formation for a long time. Once it begins to spread, it will erode all the way to the heart meridian, and death will be inevitable sooner or later."
"After seeing their words of advice, I realized that I had already come to terms with it. You don't need to be sad for me."
Chu Yi took a sip of her tea. "Perhaps things in this world are predetermined. All I can do is go with the flow. If this can bring me relief, it would actually be a good outcome for me."
Just as Yin Ming was about to say something, Ling Yao, who had been quietly standing beside him, murmured, "There is a predetermined fate in this world... Heaven and earth are of the same origin, and gods and demons can also be one..."
He then saw the spiritual energy and resentment in the world surging wildly towards him, forming a half-light, half-dark barrier around him, which carried him into the air.
The red-clad, white-haired Lingyao, enveloped within, moved without wind, her spiritual energy surging at times and her murderous aura filling her at others, leaving the three below dumbfounded.
"Is this a promotion?"
Faced with the scene before him where the spiritual and resentful energies were so dense that they materialized, forming a vortex in wisps, Feng Yan blinked in confusion, "How can he possess both spiritual and resentful energies at the same time?"
Chu Yi looked up at the sky. She didn't know the answer to the question either, and could only sigh, "The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders."
Yin Ming carefully recalled what Ling Yao had just said, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
No, how did he connect Chu Yi's words to something about the origin of heaven and earth and the unity of gods and demons? What kind of logic is that!
The vortex formed by the spiritual and resentful energies grew larger and larger, engulfing Ling Yao's figure and obscuring his condition, prompting everyone to turn their attention away.
Judging from this setup, it will probably take quite a while to complete the promotion. Anyway, it's pretty safe here, so let him level up quietly.
Thinking this, Yin Ming also withdrew his gaze, resting his chin on his hand as he recalled the details of Chu Yi's words.
What if he can glean something from this and get promoted?
With each person having their own thoughts, no one spoke for a moment.
Chu Yi's jade-like hand, resting on the stone table, tightened and loosened several times. After a long while, she finally asked softly, "Is he alright...?"
Yin Ming raised an eyebrow and subconsciously looked at Feng Yan opposite him.
He didn't know Chu Yi before, so this question was clearly directed at Feng Yan.
A look of confusion crossed Feng Yan's face. He tilted his head slightly, his eyes darting left and right, when suddenly a name popped into his head, "Su Chen?"
Chu Yi nodded nervously. "Have you seen him since then? How is he doing now? Has he forgotten me? Has he married and had children and grandchildren?"
Feng Yan shook his head. "I've never seen it. After I came to the Divine Realm, I didn't stay in Qinghong Town for long before I infiltrated the Divine Realm and went to the Sword Forging Hall."
"I remember that his family was very wealthy and influential, so I suppose he must have been doing quite well."
Chu Yi's expression suddenly darkened, and Feng Yan realized what he had said, sitting up straight somewhat awkwardly.
"I'm sorry, Chu Yi, I..."
"There's nothing to apologize for. You didn't say anything wrong." Chu Yi slowly shook her head, and as she recalled the past, a glimmer of light finally appeared in her eyes.
"After learning that I had been chosen by the Grand Elder to be a goddess, he invited me to elope, but I did not agree."
"I was thinking at the time that if I agreed, no matter how vast the world was, there would be no place for us to stay."
"But now I often think that if I had chosen to leave with him back then, even if I had been caught and punished by the sect soon, at least there would have been a moment of happiness."
