Chapter 1633: Ancient Mystery, The Second Year and Six Months

Chapter 1633: Ancient Mystery, The Second Year and Six Months (Second Update)

Wang Lin looked at Daoist Blue Dream, picked up the wine pot Hong Die had given him earlier, took a sip, and closed his eyes.

Daoist Blue Dream was not in a hurry either; he sat to the side, watching the starry sky of the Outer Realm, waiting for Wang Lin's reply. Li Qianmei remained silent for a long time, then slowly sat down cross-legged. Her position was somewhat clever; she was quite close to Wang Lin, seemingly guarding against her father.

It was impossible for Daoist Blue Dream not to see his daughter's actions. A faint, imperceptible dimness appeared in his eyes, but even Li Qianmei did not see it.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, the last three months of the second year slowly dissipated. This second year had been very peaceful, without any fighting.

On the last day of this second year, Hong Die stood up. She looked at Wang Lin; to her, this year had passed very quickly.

Sensing that Hong Die was about to leave, Wang Lin opened his eyes.

"Are you leaving?" Wang Lin asked calmly.

"I have already taken up a year of your time. I must leave; Sister Mu is still waiting," Hong Die smiled slightly and nodded.

"Take care." Wang Lin looked at Hong Die. The arrogance of this woman—he could no longer see any traces of its existence.

Hong Die smiled and took a deep look at Wang Lin. Just as she was about to turn and leave, her body paused. She turned back to look at Wang Lin, hesitation appearing in her eyes.

"Master once said that in her early years, she met a Confucian scholar with the surname Wang. At that time, I could not have survived. It was that scholar who guided Master and left behind a Formation… And he bestowed upon me the name Hong Die…"

Upon hearing these words, Wang Lin's eyes immediately erupted with a bright, strange light. His body tensed up, and his expression revealed disbelief and shock.

"What did you say!!"

Wang Lin's change in expression fell into Hong Die's eyes. She was silent for a long time before repeating it once more.

Listening to Hong Die's words, Wang Lin remained silent for a long time. His heart was currently churning with monstrous waves. He could not understand; that whole thing was clearly a dream he had woven himself, deceiving himself with the art of Deceiving the Dao. It should have been false, a Perfection he had given to himself.

But Hong Die's words shattered all of this, causing Wang Lin to suddenly be unable to distinguish what was real and what was fake.

"How could this be… What is truly real, and what is false… Why is it like this…" Wang Lin had thought he had realized his Origin, but at this moment, he felt lost.

Had he really realized it…

Hong Die turned and walked into the distance, but after taking only a few steps, she paused again, and with a trace of hesitation, she turned and asked another question.

"Qing Shui is your Senior Brother, he… do you understand him?"

"What do you want to ask?" Wang Lin forcibly retracted his mind from that shock and looked at Hong Die, speaking slowly.

"Does he… have any family?" Hong Die bit her lower lip, and after a long time, she seemed to have made a decision in her heart.

Wang Lin frowned and looked at Hong Die carefully for a few moments. In his mind, the scene from the Luotian Star Domain surfaced—Qing Shui standing in front of Hong Die, appearing to block an attack for her from afar.

"Senior Brother is a miserable person… His entire clan was wiped out when he was young. After entering the Immortal Realm, his wife also died… He also had a daughter, but through repeated Reincarnation, she has likely forgotten the memories of those years… If he truly has family, this daughter is his only relative…" Wang Lin said softly.

These words fell into Hong Die's ears, causing her body to tremble, and she closed her eyes.

For a long, long time, she opened her eyes, and there was confusion within them.

"On her daughter's left shoulder, there is a red birthmark. This mark does not fade through Reincarnation…" Wang Lin looked at Hong Die with deep meaning.

Hong Die staggered back a few steps, her face instantly turning pale.

"Thank you…"

Saying these two words that even she could barely hear, Hong Die transformed into a long rainbow and headed straight for Luotian. Her speed reached the fastest her cultivation allowed; she wanted to return to Luotian immediately to see Qing Shui!

Hong Die was gone.

On this last day of the second year, Mu Bingmei came to Wang Lin's side. She did not say a word, just sat quietly to the side, nodded to Li Qianmei, and then quietly closed her eyes to meditate.

Li Qianmei knew Mu Bingmei; the two had met in the Cloud Sea and knew each other's identities.

Wang Lin did not give Daoist Blue Dream an answer. He was also pondering Daoist Blue Dream's words.

Until six months passed in the third year, Wang Lin opened his eyes from his meditation and looked at Daoist Blue Dream.

"I have a wife." This was the first sentence Wang Lin said to Daoist Blue Dream.

Li Qianmei lowered her head, not letting Wang Lin see her dim expression.

"You can still have a second wife." Daoist Blue Dream smiled slightly, looking at his daughter, and said softly.

"You can also continue to think about it; there is no rush. Since I brought my daughter here, I did not intend to leave. Your strength alone cannot deal with the Seven-Colored Celestial Sovereign and Old Ghost Zhan, can it…" Daoist Blue Dream's gaze fell on Wang Lin.

"If I wanted to, I could have stepped into the Mysterious Tribulation many years ago to undergo the Mysterious Tribulation. If I could pass it nine times, I would reach the Empty Tribulation Realm… It is just that I was not certain… But even though the Seven-Colored Daoist and that Old Ghost Zhan have formidable cultivation, and even if there is that third existence, with my help, we might not necessarily fail!" Daoist Blue Dream spoke slowly. His words were incomprehensible to Li Qianmei and Mu Bingmei, but Wang Lin's eyes narrowed.

"So you also knew about that matter." Wang Lin's gaze met Daoist Blue Dream's.

"I should be the second person among those born in the Inner Realm, after Old Ghost Zhan, to know…" Daoist Blue Dream sighed.

"When I learned of this matter back then, I felt it was extremely absurd. I would not have believed it, but the person who said this to me was my wife, who is also the fifth consort sealed within the furnace behind you… Her words, I could not help but believe!" Daoist Blue Dream shook his head bitterly.

"The eight consorts of the Immortal Venerable descended upon the Outer Realm. The fifth consort lost her Physical Body and had only a soul, and my wife perfectly fused with her soul energy. She was subjected to Possession by this fifth consort, but she did not destroy my wife's soul; instead, she used it as a connection to me, making me help her complete one task after another.

"During your killing tribulation in the Illusionary True Formation, I would not have acted, but she used my wife's soul to force me, so I had no choice but to act… I could have killed that fifth consort, but I could not bring myself to do it…"

"The Venerable Master came to see me two years ago, saying he could help me force out the fifth consort's soul from my wife's body. Even those in this world who know of this matter believe that if they could help me achieve this, I, Blue Dream, would do anything to help them complete their tasks time and time again.

"But they were wrong! I love my wife; no one understands this matter better than I do. My wife's soul had long since fused with that fifth consort's. They could not be separated at all; if one died, the other would die as well. I could not bear to act, still holding onto a glimmer of hope, and could only endure it alone… You sealing her can be considered my liberation." Daoist Blue Dream's expression was complex as he spoke slowly.

"The person is gone, only sorrow remains. My several interventions have caused my daughter to harbor suspicion and resentment toward me, so I will not act against you again… Moreover, this war has long since reached a point where continuing it is meaningless. Fighting back and forth, we are all just cultivators in the same hole!" Daoist Blue Dream stood up, flicked his large sleeve, and his eyes revealed a bright blue light as he looked far away at the Primordial Stars outside the Formation.

At the same time, Wang Lin's eyes also narrowed suddenly, emitting a cold light as he looked at the starry sky outside the Formation.

There, three long rainbows were whistling, carrying a heaven-shaking murderous intent and resentment, roaring as they approached.

Within those three long rainbows were three people Wang Lin was familiar with. They were none other than Myriad Sound Dao Venerable, Nine Heavens Demon Venerable, and one more person: that Great Desolate Venerable!

These three had originally been trapped by Wang Lin in that Ancient Tomb and should not have appeared at this time, but they had been rescued by the Venerable Master. Their hatred for Wang Lin was already monstrous; their arrival now was with the intent to kill!

This day was the second year and six months! There was still half a year left until the date Wang Lin had agreed upon with the Four Great War Generals.

"Wang Lin, I know you still have defenses against me, and even my daughter does not trust me, her father, when you are meditating… Today, I will prove what I, as a father, should do!" Daoist Blue Dream's words were spoken to Wang Lin, but his gaze, filled with paternal tenderness, was fixed on Li Qianmei.

Flicking his large sleeve, Daoist Blue Dream stepped directly into the Outer Realm. His body transformed into a blue light, whistling out. In the blink of an eye, he walked out of the Formation and appeared in the distant sky.

"Myriad Sound, Nine Heavens, Great Desolate, get out of here!" Daoist Blue Dream suddenly let out a low roar. His voice, rolling like a roar of sound waves, stirred up endless echoes in this starry sky. It even formed a storm that roared and churned in all directions, causing the three of them to pause simultaneously!

"Blue Dream!! What are you doing!!"

"Daoist Blue Dream, why are you stopping the three of us!"

"No reason. Within three breaths, if you do not leave, do not blame me, Blue, for killing you!" Daoist Blue Dream's long hair danced. He stood there, the Turning Wheel Formation behind him, and those three in front of him!

But his figure was like a mountain; where he stood, no one could step a single half-step!

His Peak empty profound cultivation erupted from his body at this instant. Peak empty profound, the aura of the strongest whistled, shaking the sky. He had not even attacked yet; the mere aura of his cultivation caused the starry sky to tremble.

It was as if the entire starry sky was about to submit because of him alone!

Myriad Sound Dao Venerable's expression changed. He looked at Nine Heavens Demon Venerable and that Great Desolate Venerable, and they all saw the dread in each other's eyes.

The five Primordial Venerables had different cultivations. Although the Venerable Master was the most terrifying, Daoist Blue Dream, when unleashing his full cultivation, was even more terrifying. Over these years, had it not been for Daoist Blue Dream's wife becoming a hurdle in his Dao Heart that could not be perfected, making him unwilling to step into the Empty Tribulation Realm, even the Venerable Master would not have been able to control him!

This point, the three of them knew well!
