Chapter 1853: Chapter 1482: Ascension to the Immortal World Again
Situ Xing smiled bitterly, âAs they say, a mountain cannot contain two tigers. The gathering of so many Nameless in one realm was already an incredible event. To have us all rally around one person, calling each other brothers, and even maintaining stable relationships, was even more astonishingâŠâ
âEspecially Luo Yichen and Ji Yuzhen, those two women. They were already arch-enemies in the Upper World.â
Seeing Li Fanâs intrigued expression, Situ Xing continued, âIn the Immortal World, Luo Yichen is known as the [Divine Mother of the Clear Stream]. Her way of doing things is the same as before she encountered Xuan Yuanhong in the Xuanhuang Worldâfond of keeping favorites, regardless of gender. The vast Star Domain is all under her sway.â
âAs for Ji Yuzhen, her name in the Upper World remains Ji Yuzhen. It is said that she was originally a native of the Star Domain of the Clear Stream, thoroughly imbued from childhood with its unique atmosphere of servitude, and believed in it fervently. However, by a twist of fate, one day she left the Star Domain of the Clear Stream, arriving at a normal Immortal Phase-governed Star Domain. The vast difference caused her mindset to twist, turning her reverence into hatredâŠâ
Situ Xing paused and hesitated before adding, âMy upper world original selfâs memories are somewhat fragmented. All that Iâve heard, may not be true. However, the unknown entanglement between these two is definitely real. At that time, we were puzzled as to why the two seemed to bear significant enmity by nature.â
âLater, Ji Yuzhen was the first to awaken her self-awareness and directly attempted to kill Luo Yichen. Fortunately, Xuan Yuanhong intervened just in time to stop her.â
âI still remember Ji Yuzhenâs gaze at that time. Heh hehâŠâ Situ Xing clicked his tongue.
âOne must admit, Xuan Yuanhong indeed had some skills. Not only was he able to maintain the balance between the two women while he was around, but even after his disappearance, Ji Yuzhen and Luo Yichen managed to coexist peacefully for some time. Until they began disagreeing on how to handle Xuan Yuanhong, and the rift between them widened again.â
âLuo Yichen felt that she was ultimately unworthy of the Treasure, and although the Star Domain of the Clear Stream had not yet been affected by the Path-obliterating Calamity, it was already in grave danger. Thus, she chose to return to the Immortal World to seek refuge.â
âOn the other hand, Ji Yuzhen chose to follow the clues left by Xuan Yuanhong. She is convinced that Xuan Yuanhong would not abandon her that easily.â
Situ Xing smiled bitterly, âJi Yuzhenâs obstinate nature in the Upper World is quite renowned.â
Li Fan recalled the endless Ji Yuzhen souls wandering the Circular Mountain in the Dongyong Region and slightly furrowed his brow, âIsnât Ji Yuzhen dead?â
He then waved his hand, displaying the current scene of the Dongyong State in the Xuanhuang World for Situ Xing to see.
Initially startled by the sight, Situ Xing, after observing for a while, shook his head slightly, âJi Yuzhenâs cultivation methods ensure that she doesnât perish so easily. These countless split souls, including the hidden Primordial Soul in the center, are all tied to memories of Xuan Yuanhong; likely discarded by her on purpose.â
âAnd the Dongyong State is precisely where Xuan Yuanhong returned after his Ascension, trying to cut all emotional ties she had with him.â
Remarkable that as a former Nameless True Immortal, Situ Xing discerned the reality of the countless split souls merely through the indirect light and shadow exhibited by Li Fan.
âNo wonder, in every memory of those split souls Iâve seen, Xuan Yuanhong is present.â
Li Fan already felt a degree of belief in Situ Xingâs judgment.
âBack then, of the Twelve Law Kings, how many truly died and how many disappeared of their own volition?â
Situ Xing felt that the senior before him seemed overly interested in matters of the former Mystic Sky Sect.
âCould it be, he encountered one of the twelve of us later on?â
Thinking this, yet intimidated by the two Heavenly Pillars by his side, Situ Xing answered honestly, âEr, Sikong Lin probably truly died. He was affected by the Immortal Worldâs Path-obliterating Calamity, suffered annihilation, and even his avatar was seriously harmed. So grave was it that I doubt there was any chance for recovery. Zhou Yangli and Cui Zhiyuanâs true selves were affected as well, but it remains uncertain whether they escaped.â
âAs for the othersâŠâ
âThatâs beyond my ability to speculate.â
Li Fan pointed toward the direction of the underground Dark River of Abyss Star Ocean, âAnd you? How did you end up in such a predicament?â
Upon hearing this, Situ Xing felt a bit embarrassed, âMy original selfâs consciousness was the last to awaken. Until Xuan Yuanhong disappeared, I was unable to recover my true consciousness. At the time, I couldnât understand some of the events occurring among us. I continued to follow Xuan Yuanhongâs orders, engraving the [Form of Living Beings] beneath the Star Sea. I seldom communicated with others, and even if they awakened their true consciousness, they couldnât ascertain my true identity, or even whether I was a Lower Realm ImmortalâŠâ
âI hadnât worked long under the Abyss Star Ocean before my true self tragically perished, and I was also affected. Itâs already a blessing to barely retain my Divine Sense.â Situ Xing sighed.
âSo it seems, your avatar was indeed loyal.â Li Fan remarked while scrutinizing.
âWell, itâs not entirely as the senior imagines. In truth, I stayed willingly beneath that underground life-giving Dark River because I sensed the benefits of developing the Form of Life.â Situ Xing laughed, without hiding anything.
âBenefits?â
âAfter the Immortal Worldâs destruction, the infinite nature of my immortal power has also been affected to varying degrees. Some, by luck, might still possess infinite immortal power, while others lost the connection with the Infinite Sea. I belong to the latter group.â
