Chapter 1443: Chapter 1442: Suxing of Memories
Above the ruins of the Spirit Emperor Temple.
Feng Wuchen appeared with a flash, his gaze fixed on the Spirit Emperor Temple which had been razed to the ground.
âLong Yunâs strike was quite ruthless,â Feng Wuchen thought to himself.
âI knew you would definitely come,â suddenly a voice echoed in the void, and then Gu Yuanâs figure appeared out of thin air.
Feng Wuchen looked up at Gu Yuan, who was slowly descending, and asked, âWhy not rebuild the palace?â
âThe Ling Realm is already under your control; rebuilding the Spirit Emperor Temple is meaningless,â Gu Yuan shook his head slightly.
âWith your Seventh Heaven Emperorâs cultivation, you shouldnât have lost to Long Yun. As the Spirit Emperor of the Tianzun Divine Palace, are you still reminiscing about the past?â Feng Wuchen said expressionlessly, his gaze fixed on Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan said nothing.
Feng Wuchen frowned slightly, his eyes flashed fiercely, and terrifying divine power surged forth as he sent a palm strike through the air.
âBoom!â
âBuzzing!â
The terrifying palm force struck Gu Yuan, and with a loud explosion, directly blasted Gu Yuan away, causing the surrounding void to violently tremble and collapse.
Gu Yuan neither evaded nor defended, allowing Feng Wuchenâs attack to land.
âWhy didnât you dodge? Do you think my power canât hurt you? Or do you think the Yan Sheng Decree can save your life?â Feng Wuchen asked.
Gu Yuan was suddenly shocked and said, âDisciple dares not.â
âHas the masterâs memory already awakened?â Gu Yuan uncertainly asked, a wild joy surging in his heart.
âYou already know my identity?â Feng Wuchen frowned and asked.
âMasterâs aura and bloodline, this disciple will never forget. The disciple knew that the master would definitely return!â Gu Yuan replied, suppressing the excitement in his heart.
âWhy did you betray me?â Feng Wuchen asked coldly.
Gu Yuan knelt on one knee and said, âDisciple did not betray the master.â
âJoining the Tianzun Divine Palace and serving as the Spirit Emperor, isnât that betrayal? Do you know the consequences of betraying me?â Feng Wuchen reprimanded, clenching his fists tightly.
âMaster, disciple was forced.â Gu Yuan said.
âForced?â Feng Wuchenâs eyes flashed with a chilling killing intent.
âAfter Masterâs downfall in the battle with the Heavenly Sovereign, Qing Xuan and I were hunted by the Tianzun Divine Palace. Qing Xuan was seriously injured, her soul body severely damaged, leaving only a wisp of remnant soul, which Zhuge Wuji sealed to pressure me. To save Qing Xuan, disciple had no choice but to submit with the junior sister.â Gu Yuan quickly explained.
âQing Xuan?â Feng Wuchen frowned deeply.
âQing Xuanâs remnant soul was extracted by the junior sister. Zhuge Wuji has yet to discover this. Qing Xuanâs remnant soul is slowly recovering. Disciple knew the master would return. Disciple has been waiting for this day for decades. The master surely has a way to save Qing Xuan.â Gu Yuan became more and more excited as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, the anger in Feng Wuchenâs heart gradually subsided.
âZhuge Wuji is intent on obtaining the Yan Sheng Decree, which is why he dared not act against the disciple and the junior sister all these years. We can only obey the Tianzun Divine Palace,â Gu Yuan continued.
âIt seems I have wronged you. Stand up,â Feng Wuchen said.
âThank you, Master!â Gu Yuan respectfully stood up.
âFind an opportunity to bring Qing Xuan to me with Yu Yan,â Feng Wuchen said. âAlso, continue building the Spirit Emperor Temple.â
âYes!â Gu Yuan replied respectfully.
âI came this time for another matter,â Feng Wuchen said, looking at Gu Yuan.
âPlease, Master, speak,â Gu Yuan said.
âTell me about the Spirit Beast Clan, the memories about the Spirit Beast Clan have been sealed by the Dragon Venerable. I can only see blurry memories,â Feng Wuchen said.
âHas the master been to the Heavenly Tomb?â Gu Yuan asked.
Feng Wuchen nodded slightly and said, âYou should know well about my past life and should know about the Spirit Beast Clan too.â
Gu Yuan was silent for a moment, then asked, âIs the master sure you want to know? The masterâs memory should not be fully awakened yet, Iâm afraid the master does not want to see the sealed memory.â
âIâm curious about what happened between me and the Spirit Beast Clan in my past life, leading to the seal of the Spirit Beast Clanâs memory,â Feng Wuchen said.
âSince the master wants to know, this disciple will tell the master,â Gu Yuan said, then recounted in detail the events involving Feng Wuchen and the Spirit Beast Clan back then.
Back then, the Young Master of the Dragon God Clan had a very good relationship with the Spirit Beast Clan, so good that the Spirit Beast Clan regarded Feng Wuchen as a clansman, and Feng Wuchen was the only friend of the Spirit Beast Clan.
Therefore, the Young Master of the Dragon God Clan befriended the younger generation of strong figures from the Spirit Beast Clan, with Man Zhan being one of them.
But good times did not last. Later, due to the Heavenly Sovereignâs betrayal, the Dragon God Clan and the Tianzun Divine Palace broke out into multiple wars. In one such war, Feng Wuchen led Man Zhan and other young warriors of the Spirit Beast Clan into battle, only to be ambushed by experts from the Tianzun Divine Palace, resulting in the tragic deaths of six Spirit Beast Clan geniuses.
âSo it was I who caused their deaths. No wonder the Dragon Venerable sealed the memory of the Spirit Beast Clan. What the Dragon Venerable referred to as the unfinished business is likely seeking revenge for them,â after hearing Gu Yuanâs words, Feng Wuchen finally understood why the Dragon Venerable dared not face the Spirit Beast Clan.
âMaster and Man Zhan were comrades of life and death, and another was the masterâs lover, named Man Wuer. Among the six dead, one was Man Wuer. The master believed he was responsible for their deaths, responsible for the death of his lover, so he blamed himself greatly. For revenge, it later led to the masterâs battle with the Heavenly Sovereign.â Gu Yuan supplemented.
âMan Wuer! Such a familiar name, Man WuerâŠâ Feng Wuchen repeatedly muttered Man Wuerâs name, and a flood of blurry images frantically surged into his mind.
âBrother Dragon Venerable, shall we practice together?â
âBrother Dragon Venerable, Wuer likes you, Wuer will marry Brother Dragon Venerable!â
In Feng Wuchenâs mind, a ethereal and crisp laughter suddenly echoed. It was the deepest memory of the Dragon Venerable.
Feng Wuchenâs head throbbed in excruciating pain, and these blurry memories completely escaped Feng Wuchenâs control, flooding out like mad. Man Wuerâs voice continued to float in his mind.
âAh!â
The excruciating pain in his head made Feng Wuchen unable to help but let out a miserable scream.
âMaster!â Gu Yuan was shocked and panicked.
âMy head hurts! Stay back!â Feng Wuchen shouted, covering his head with his hands, screaming and struggling frantically.
Feng Wuchenâs head exploded with purple light, and numerous blurry memories erupted like a flood, but these blurred memories began to become clear.
âBoom!â
âAh!â
A moment later, when all the emerging memories became clear, a sudden explosion rang out, and Feng Wuchen let out a scream as his body plummeted downward.
âThe seal is broken!â Gu Yuan was shocked and quickly flashed downward.
Feng Wuchen felt dizzy, his head throbbing as if severely injured, his face extremely pale, and he felt utterly powerless.
âMaster, the seal is lifted, how do you feel?â Gu Yuan asked worriedly.
âIâm fine⊠the memories of my past life have fully awakened, I remember everything now, I truly caused Wuer and them to die,â Feng Wuchen said with difficulty as the memories of his past life fully awakened, a series of familiar yet heart-wrenching and agonizing images all flashed in his mind.
A tear skidded down Feng Wuchenâs cheek.
