Chapter 586 Brocade Moon Jade Bottle
"The Upper Realm a thousand years ago?"
Xue Lan's previously impassive expression finally cracked, and her voice carried a hint of coldness:
Where have you gone?
Qiu Yinzhen frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke:
"That place is no longer very clear in my mind. Every time I recall it, I forget a little. All I remember is that it was the Upper Realm, and that I heard your name there."
"That's it."
Xue Lan sighed softly, a look of emotion that Qiu Yinzhen couldn't understand appearing in her icy blue eyes.
A faint voice from the inner demon echoed in Xue Lan's mind:
"She must have accidentally entered a celestial realm created by some powerful being. There aren't many celestial realms in the Upper Realm that are related to you."
"It's more than just a few." Xue Lan's voice was filled with suppressed pain.
She created only two magical treasure caves in her lifetime.
One of them was a painting of a thousand mountains in light ink, which is still in Jin Guang's hands.
The other thing is...
Xue Lan murmured:
"Jinyue Lake".
"But Jin Yue Lake was clearly shattered when I committed suicide in my previous life."
Xue Lan slowly looked at her hands.
No one was more certain than her that Jin Yue Lake was gone.
Jin Yue Lake is the name of the grotto, but its vessel is actually called Jin Yue Xuan Jing Bottle.
Xue Lan used it when he committed suicide.
She smashed the Brocade Moon Jade Bottle with her own hands, and used the largest shard to cut her own throat...
"It can't be wrong."
"You're not mistaken!"
The inner demon's voice carried a chilling undertone:
"There is absolutely no possibility of life remaining within the Brocade Moon and Jade View Bottle from back then..."
The woman snorted coldly:
"Lin Qi!"
Lin Qi must have done something while deceiving the spirit of Jin Yue Lake Cave.
Xue Lan recalled the double fish mark she had seen on the coins used for crossing the river, and spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Old man Lin Qi!"
Xue Lan couldn't describe her feelings at that moment. Her heart was as calm as a pool of water that would never ripple, yet it also felt as heavy as a lead weight, slowly sinking down and dragging her reason into an endless abyss.
No wonder Spirit City can generate ley lines in the desolate region.
No wonder!
It turns out it was all them... By using the spiritual essence of the cave, the earth's veins can naturally be generated.
"Xue Lan!" The inner demon roared, pulling Xue Lan out of her endless obsession.
"I'm fine," Xue Lan said softly, her voice filled with bitterness.
"Let's find out the truth first, maybe that's not the case."
A light smile returned to Xue Lan's lips. The Wolf King looked at Qiu Yinzhen beside him and spoke:
"Lord Qiu has probably stumbled into an extraterrestrial paradise created by some powerful being."
"The master of the outer realm is xenophobic and doesn't like outsiders. And since you're a ghost cultivator with an incomplete soul, you naturally can't remember the details."
After saying this, Xue Lan gently raised her hand and drew a talisman in front of Qiu Yinzhen:
"After you returned from that ruin, did your cultivation level drop significantly?"
"Your Excellency knows things like a god."
"Don't talk about being a prophet." Xue Lan's tone was flippant and casual.
"The outer realms are in ruins, and the creatures within inevitably carry resentment. It's good that you returned safely..." Xue Lan winked gently at Qiu Yinzhen, trying to ease the sting in her eyes:
"The creatures in that cave must have been kind people in their previous lives."
"I understand."
Qiu Yinzhen nodded slightly. The rune that Xue Lan had just drawn in mid-air had transformed into a dazzling golden light in the short time it took for the two to exchange a few words. Xue Lan held the golden light up in front of Qiu Yinzhen with her fingertip:
"Lord Qiu, I am quite curious about those ruins. This is a Soul Stabilizing Talisman, containing a portion of my soul energy. It can help you repair your soul."
Xue Lan gently tugged at the red thread in her hand:
"I would like to trouble City Lord Qiu to show me that place."
"Soul energy?"
Qiu Yinzhen screamed, she couldn't believe that there was actually anyone in the world willing to part with their soul energy.
"Lord Qiu, can you agree to my conditions?"
Xue Lan's voice suddenly turned cold. A Wu, who was standing to the side, noticed that something was wrong with the man and tugged at the woman's sleeve with some concern.
Tongtong said that when adults lose control, they tug at her sleeve, and adults are very good at controlling themselves. Usually, doing this will bring them back to their senses.
As expected, Xue Lan felt the force coming from her sleeve and turned to look at A-Wu:
"I am fine."
How could it be okay?
A-Wu looked at Xue Lan's slightly reddened eyes and pondered in her heart, puzzled.
The girl thought to herself, "The adult is about to cry."
If ghosts weren't unable to shed tears, the adult would surely be in tears right now.
Qiu Yinzhen was somewhat startled by Xue Lan's appearance. After a moment of stunned silence, she quickly nodded:
"Qiu Yin is really willing to accept the master's soul search."
After saying this, the woman slowly closed her eyes and stopped looking at Xue Lan.
She couldn't say exactly how many emotions she saw in Xue Lan's eyes, as if all the regrets of the world were contained within them, converging into a calm sea before a storm.
The waves are submerged beneath it, as if a giant beast is sleeping.
Xue Lan guided the golden light with her fingertips and pressed it against Qiu Yinzhen's brow. Then the woman slowly closed her eyes.
In fact, Xue Lan already had the answer in her heart.
The answer is already laid out before her.
But Xue Lan refused to believe it.
The connection of the causal thread pulled Xue Lan into a snow-white space, where the world was a vast expanse of white, and it seemed as if there was nothing there.
Xue Lan took two steps in the direction the red line extended, and a faint black dot appeared not far away.
Like a drop of ink spreading on rice paper, Xue Lan watched as that black dot spread into a gray-white picture in front of her.
First, there was the mirror-like surface of the lake.
Then there were several small boats floating quietly on the lake.
The boundless reeds swayed under the gray sky, and Xue Lan's tear fell to the ground.
It is Jinyue Lake.
Everything around came together, bathed in a lifeless gray-white.
"Immortals are coming." A noisy voice came from her ear. Xue Lan saw fishermen walking through her body and heading forward, towards the direction of Lü Su's house.
"Are they friends of our adults?" a girl asked.
"That's right. Who else could come in besides us adults?" the aged voice replied.
"Wasn't there one last time? Uncle Li even said he wanted to keep that kid as a son-in-law for Su-ya!" The middle-aged man laughed heartily.
"Old Li is the same, he doesn't care whether the young man wants to or not."
"Why wouldn't he want to? That kid's eyes are glued to Sister Su every day, I think he'd rather die." The young man in short clothes passed through Xue Lan's body.
The gray-clad crowd moved forward, and Xue Lan knew her own time.
"Don't go..." The woman suddenly grabbed the boy's sleeve:
"He's lying to you!"
"I won't..."
"Are you really sure you can't?"
A male voice filled with malice suddenly came to her ears. Xue Lan slowly lowered her head and saw a red stain on her chest.
In the Nine Heavens Demon Realm, far away in another world, amidst the life-or-death struggle, a lump of red flesh, bound by layers of ice chains, suddenly twitched twice, then emitted a hoarse sound, piercing straight into the depths of Xue Lan's soul:
"It's been a long time, Lord Wolf!"
