What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? - Chapter 42
Ye Yu looked at the scene in the dream.
He couldnât help but feel somewhat disappointed.
To him in the dream, Ruan Lianyue was like his white moonlight.
At a time when he couldnât cultivate, she was the gentle presence illuminating the entire night sky.
But now, the Wind Thunder Temple actually suspected Ruan Lianyueâs allegiance.
It would have been one thing to expel her from the sect. But to cripple her cultivation as well?
In this fantasy world, dangers lurk everywhere.
In the eyes of cultivators, ordinary mortals are not even worth mentioning. If luck is bad, they might not even survive a day.
Arenât the people of the Wind Thunder Temple clearly intending to let Ruan Lianyue die?
ăUpon learning this information, you were furious to the extreme.ă
ăYour whole being surged with killing intent.ă
ăTaking out the Soul Summoning Banner, you attacked the sect alone!ă
ăTwo days later.ă
ăYou slaughtered all the cultivators of the Wind Thunder Temple and successfully advanced to the mid-stage of the Integration Realm.ă
ăBut you didnât feel any happiness.ă
ăAfter pondering for a moment, you immediately returned to the Earth Fiend Sect, ordering everyone to find Ruan Lianyue.ă
ăStarting from the Wind Thunder Temple as the center, in the surrounding thousand-mile radius, not a single corner was to be missed.ă
ăAlive, you must see her; dead, you must see her body.ă
ăCurrently, Ruan Lianyue has become an ordinary mortal. She couldnât have gone far.ă
ăA thousand-mile radius is already the maximum limit.ă
ăBut after searching for half a month, still no news at all.ă
ăYou were very dissatisfied with the efficiency of the sectâs cultivators.ă
ăImmediately, you asserted your authority by killing two elders who were not taking this matter seriously enough.ă
ăAnd on the spot, you promised; anyone who could find Ruan Lianyue would immediately be promoted to Vice Sect Master of the Earth Fiend Sect.ă
ăTechniques, artifacts, whatever they wanted, they could have it.ă
ăWith such motivation, the cultivators of the Earth Fiend Sect once again began a thorough search.ă
ăSome even directly threatened local cultivation familiesâ patriarchs to send people to search.ă
ăAnother month passed.ă
ăStill, there was no sign of Ruan Lianyue.ă
ăYou understood in your heart that if so much time had passed without finding her, it was very likely that this girl was no longer in this world.ă
ăOn this day.ă
ăYou, who rarely drank, drank until completely drunk.ă
ăAt 760 years old, you became the number one demon lord on the Central Continent.ă
ăUnder your leadership, the Earth Fiend Sect also became a dominant force in the demonic path.ă
ăThat year, you officially entered the late stage of the Tribulation Crossing Realm.ă
ăAlso that year, you ceased your killings.ă
ăReturning once again to the village where you originally came from, living a solitary life.ă
ăChopping wood and fishing every day, just like an ordinary mortal.ă
ăThis was not due to lack of ambition.ă
ăBut because you understood very well that if you continued to kill to break through realms, the final result would only be your death and the destruction of your Dao.ă
ăIt wouldnât be other cultivators who would kill you, but the heavenly tribulation.ă
ăCultivators absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and live in seclusion, and that is to avoid karmic entanglements.ă
ăThe stronger the karmic entanglements, the stronger the heavenly tribulation will be when crossing it.ă
ăFor hundreds of years, you have killed countless people.ă
ăThe accumulated karma has reached an extremely terrifying level.ă
ăOnce you reach the peak of the Tribulation Crossing Realm and begin the tribulation, it will be the day of your death.ă
ăFaced with such a heavenly tribulation, you have no confidence, nor the ability to withstand it.ă
ăSo, the best way is to stop killing.ă
ăThis way, you can live longer.ă
ăAfter all, you are already in the Tribulation Crossing Realm and have a long lifespan ahead.ă
ăWhy seek death?ă
ăAs for the Soul Summoning Banner, you stored it in your storage ring, not having used it for a long time.ă
ăThe resentment on it is extremely heavy. Itâs almost on the verge of becoming an immortal artifact.ă
ăEvery time you used it, the sky would flash with lightning and thunder. It looked like an apocalyptic scene, very impressive.ă
ăBut you knew that the thunder in the sky was directed at the Soul Summoning Banner.ă
ăThe karma of killing is too great; it is not tolerated by the heavens.ă
ăIn this situation, hiding in your hometown seemed like the best choice.ă
ăSometimes, when you sit at your door, you still look to the north.ă
ăBack then, the first time you saw Ruan Lianyue, she came from the north.ă
ăUnfortunately, she never appeared again.ă
ăPeople are like this; what they canât have is always the best.ă
Ye Yu furrowed his brow slightly.
Seemingly caught in a dilemma, he was at an impasse, uncertain how to proceed.
He dared not break through to the next realm; breaking through would surely mean being unable to withstand the heavenly tribulation.
But if he didnât break through, living alone until old age was also very hard to endure.
Yet at this moment, he couldnât think of any good solution.
It was quite depressing.
ăOriginally, you thought that peaceful days would continue like this.ă
ăBut in the spring of the second year, Ze Tian, the Vice Sect Master of the Earth Fiend Sect, came to find you.ă
ăHe claimed to have found traces of Ruan Lianyue in the northernmost part of the Central Continent.ă
ăAfter investigating extensively, he discovered that she had joined a small sect called the Seven Star Sect, and had become one of its disciples.ă
ăUpon hearing this news, you could no longer contain the excitement in your heart.ă
ăYou hurried to the Seven Star Sect at the fastest speed.ă
ăThere, you indeed found the figure of Ruan Lianyue.ă
ăHowever, when she saw you again, there was no joyful reunion smile, but rather a fearful step back.ă
ăYou restrained the excitement in your heart, and invited her to come out and talk about old times.ă
ăRuan Lianyue agreed.ă
ăThrough your conversation, you learned that after Ruan Lianyueâs cultivation was crippled by the Wind Thunder Temple, she was rescued by a former friend.ă
ăAnd this friend even found rare treasures to nourish Ruan Lianyueâs body, allowing her to embark on the path of cultivation again.ă
ăMost importantly, this friend turned out to be a woman.ă
ăThis was tremendous news for you.ă
ăSo, you immediately confessed your feelings to Ruan Lianyue, wanting to become Dao companions with her.ă
ăBut you were rejected on the spot.ă
ăRuan Lianyue told you that over these years, although she lived in the borderlands, she was still aware of the recent developments in the Central Continent.ă
ăShe knew you were notorious as the foremost demon lord in Central Continent, the one responsible for the destruction of the Wind Thunder Temple.ă
ăRuan Lianyue didnât want to be with someone who only knew killing.ă
ăMoreover, that incident in the past had become a knot in her heart.ă
ăWhy didnât you just kill her right at the gate of the Earth Fiend Sect that day?ă
ăThat way, it would have been over once and for all. And she wouldnât have been suspected when she returned to the Wind Thunder Temple.ă
ăThe pain of having her cultivation stripped away was bone-deep, but what hurt the most was the pain in her heart.ă
ăThe disdainful looks from the sect master and fellow daoists, Ruan Lianyue hadnât forgotten them to this day.ă
ăYet before she could clear her name, you had wiped out everyone from the Wind Thunder Temple.ă
ăRuan Lianyue knew she had no right to resent you, because you spared her out of nostalgia.ă
ăBut what happened afterwards, it was an unfortunate twist of fate that gave her the most painful memories.ă
