“There is no such person in the Book of Six Paths of Reincarnation?”
“Yes, it is.”
You Lian stood respectfully in front of the Female Monarch. The Female Monarch narrowed her beautiful eyes.
The next second.
The empress opened her right hand. In an instant, an abnormally ancient-looking book came from the void and landed in the empress’s palm.
The book moved without wind and turned the pages on its own.
‘But…
From the beginning to the end of the book, there was no pause.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation Book recorded all the living beings in the vast
Great Desolate World. As long as they had reincarnated through the Great Desolate World’s Reincarnation Wheel, any living being in the vast Great Desolate World could be found in this book.
Sin, merit, and even lifespan were all included.
No matter how big or small it was.
However, there was no record of this thief called Zuo Lei.
“Not the vast Great Desolate World?”
The empress waved her right hand, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation
automatically left her hand and entered the void again. She reached out to grab it again. “That’s the Federation.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
The other book looked identical to the previous Six Paths of Reincarnation Book, but in fact, its effect was far inferior to the Federation’s Yin World Reincarnation Book of the Great Desolate World.
“The Great Desolate World’s Heavenly Dao devours the Federation. I’m the Empress of the Yin World, so the Federation’s Yin World naturally belongs to me. Do you think that I won’t be able to find you like this?”
“Ridiculous.”
A cold smile appeared on the empress’s face. In just a breath’s time, she had flipped through the Federation’s Yin World Reincarnation Book on her own. Then, she located a name and projected it.
It was Zuo Lei’s.
However…
The projection of Zuo Lei’s phantom image was fragmented. It corresponded to his death. “His soul dissipated?”
“Or voluntarily.”
At the side, You Lian watched silently until she saw the projected image of Zuo
Lei. She was slightly stunned and could not help but say, “Your Majesty.”
The empress didn’t say anything. Instead, she flipped through Zuo Lei’s life history. “So what if his soul dissipated? Are you counting on this to be fine?” How was that possible?
The Book of Samsara was an important tool in the underworld to judge where a ghost should go in the next life. Perhaps you might have forgotten your every move when you were alive, but the Book of Samsara would never forget it.
Splitting one’s soul might be useful to others.
However, to the Yin World Empress, who controlled the Book of Samsara, this was as laughable as watching the clown put on a comical performance that was full of flaws.
Of course.
If it was some time ago, before the Great Desolate World’s Heavenly Dao began to devour the Federation’s Heavenly Dao, if Zuo Lei had died at that time, even the empress would probably not have been able to find him.
‘Pity.’
Zuo Lei’s soul had dissipated a few days ago. As early as half a month ago, the Yin Empress had already taken control of the Federation’s Yin World and refined a reincarnation book that belonged exclusively to the Federation.
Everything that happened to Zuo Lei when he was alive appeared in the eyes of the empress. From birth to death, he did not hold back at all.
‘Still…’
The empress browsed through the story of Zuo Lei’s life expressionlessly. On the other hand, when Nether Pity saw Zuo Lei getting married, she frowned at the blurry marriage partner in the records. Then, she saw the last scene of Zuo Lei’s life. Three blurry people appeared, but one of them was a handsome man who was unusually high-definition.
Xu Bai.
In the scene, there were three blurry figures. The last person who appeared in front of Zuo Lei was Xu Bai.
The empress looked at Xu Bai, who had appeared on the screen, and the corners of her eyes twitched.
The next second.
The empress waved her hand and brushed away Zuo Lei’s projection. Then, with a thought, another name automatically appeared on the Book of Samsara.
Su Meng!
However, this time, the Federation’s Book of Samsara was the same as the Great Desolate World’s Book of Samsara. From the beginning to the end, after flipping through it, it did not locate the page that belonged to the Federation’s living being, Su Meng.
The empress recalled the Book of Samsara of the Great Desolate World.
There was no such person.
“Found it.”
The empress spoke in a cold voice. Then, as if she had thought of something, she suddenly shook her head and smiled.
As for what he was laughing at?
No one knew.
You Lian, who was standing at the side, looked at her empress’s expression and did not think too much about it. Instead, when she heard the empress say that she had found it, she immediately cupped her fists and said, “Your Majesty, I’ll go.”
Yin World Empress suppressed Yin World.
Beside the empress, there were two guard captains on the left and right. While accompanying the empress for a long time, the guard captains on the right and left were like sisters.
The empress was furious that someone had sneaked into the underworld and stolen her right guard captain. Similarly, the left guard captain, You Lian, was also especially angry about this.
Originally, after the right guard captain fell, the empress placed his true spirit in the study to nourish it so that the right guard captain could reappear hundreds of years later.
‘And what happened?’
A thief had entered the underworld.
The thief stole the right guard captain’s true spirit, the spider lily.
You Lian suppressed the anger in her heart and looked at Su Meng, who was projected but could not find this person. She said in a deep voice, “Your Majesty, I’ll bring Yixi back now.”
‘What do I do?’ It was very simple.
Kill.
However, the empress shook her head.
You Lian was stunned.
“Your Majesty?”
“The Federation’s Yin World has yet to take form. Although it has been controlled, it has yet to take form and is unable to withstand the descent of my true body. That’s why I need to borrow the power of the Reincarnation Disc to reincarnate to the Federation and occupy the Yin World.”
However, he had only occupied it.
Compared to the Great Desolate World’s Yin World, the Federation’s Yin World could simply be described as desolate and uninhabited. If the Great Desolate World’s Yin World was a luxurious villa group that had already taken shape, then the Federation’s Yin World was a pure and rotten high-level group.
‘That’s not right.’
It was a pure wasteland without any signs of construction.
The empress looked at You Lian and said, “Your power is attached to the Yin World. In the vast Great Desolate World, even if you pass the Dao Integration realm and transcend the tribulation, even a flawless Perfected Person can’t defeat you. However, in the Federation, the Yin World is empty. The power you can unleash is only equivalent to the Golden Core realm.”
After all, You Lian was a creature of the underworld.
Just like human cultivation martial artists, the stronger the human cultivation, the stronger the martial artist attached to the human cultivation.
You Lian was the same.
In the vast Great Desolate World, the Yin World had matured to perfection. Ordinary ghost generals were comparable to Nascent Soul cultivators. As the left guard captain, You Lian even had the strength to fight back and forth with Daoist Anasrava.
However, in the Federation, You Lian’s strength would be greatly reduced.
Moreover, it was not the kind of 50% discount. It could be said that after 50% discount, it was 50% discount.
‘Still…’
You Lian was not afraid at all. She looked at the empress and said, “Even if it’s only the Golden Elixir Realm, it’s enough.”
The Empress looked at You Lian and said softly, “There is an Origin Returning
Realm cultivator on the other side who is now a five-tailed Heavenly Fox.” Lady You Lian instinctively scoffed, “Your majesty, a mere five-tailed fox?”
‘Wait a minute.’
You Lian was stunned and looked at the empress.
“Heavenly Fox?”
“Right.”
It wasn’t like Lady You Lian hadn’t killed a mere Void Returning Realm cultivator before. But the Heavenly Fox?
‘That makes a difference.’
Just from this name alone, one could see the clues.
Since ancient times, the heavens had always been on the ground.
Hence, the sky was in front of the earth.
Heavens, it was innate that it had a restraining effect on the ground.
You Liannu’s mind raced. Then, she thought of something and looked at the empress curiously. “Your Majesty, how did you know?” After all, Su Meng was not in the Book of Reincarnation.
The empress laughed softly.
“Because I’ve seen it.”
Your Majesty has already met Yixi?”
“I guess.”
The empress’s lips curled into a playful smile as she looked at the shocked You
Lian. “More than a month ago. Moreover, a few days ago, I gave her a gift.”
You Lian was puzzled. “If that’s the case, why didn’t you bring Yixi back, Your Majesty?”
The empress shook her head. “I didn’t know that at that time.”
In the Federation, she was just an ordinary person. After all, she was the Empress of the Yin World, and the Yin World was her. Cultivation was useless to her. If she rashly descended before the Federation’s Yin World was established, it would only cause chaos.
Besides…
So what if she couldn’t cultivate? If she died in the Federation, she would be able to enter the Federation’s underworld in advance. Returning to the underworld would be like returning home.
When You Lian heard the empress’s words, she did not give up on the idea of bringing her best friend back to the underworld. “Your Majesty, that’s not Yixi.
It’s just a thief who occupied Yixi’s true spirit.”
Ordinary living beings needed to walk through the Six Paths Reincarnation before they could reincarnate and perfectly fuse their True Spirit with their new destiny.
Lady You Lian said in a deep voice, “Back then, after Yixi fell, her true spirit almost dissipated. It was His Majesty who placed Yixi in the study to nourish her. Now that it has been stolen by a thief, if I don’t retrieve it in time, I’m afraid Yixi will…
The empress nodded. “You’re right. A thief is a thief. It has nothing to do with anything else.”
With that,
With a wave of her right hand, the empress recalled the Federation’s Yin World Reincarnation Book once again. Then, she threw it to You Lian.
You Lian took over and looked at the empress.
“Your Majesty?”
“There’s more than one person who colluded with Xiong Jian and smuggled into the Samsara. Find them and take their True Spirits. You can keep them for yourself. ”
…Yes!”
Seeing this, the Water Empress nodded her head and her beautiful figure slowly dissipated.
You Lian was stunned again when she heard the empress’s words. Then, she understood the empress’s hidden meaning and hurriedly cupped her fists.
In a single sentence.
The empress wanted her to find the true spirits of the six paths and refine them to make up for the unprecedented weakening of her power after arriving in the Federation.
As such…
Heavenly Fox?
What was there to be afraid of?
Soon.
You Lian waited for the empress’s figure to completely disappear before turning around and leaving the study. She pushed open the study and ignored the group of ghost marquises and a few netherworld soldiers who were being escorted to the Nine Underworlds by the empress’s personal army. She raised her leg and walked towards the six paths of reincarnation in the distance. She planned to pass through the six paths of reincarnation and arrive at the Federation’s underworld that was already connected to this place.
And then..
Arrived in the Federation.
You Lian held the Federation Reincarnation Book in her hand as her eyes flickered. “Yixi, wait for me. I’m here to bring you home.”
