Chapter 370: 205, 206. Song Family in Hiding, Mountains and Rivers Seal (Subscribe please)
The Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits, the center of the dying Earthfire.
The dark red hue in the depths of the stone was like the last flicker of an extinguishing candle, and the mysterious powers lingering in the air were so faint as if they were about to vanish at any moment...
It was a teetering deity of the Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits, on the brink of extinction.
And the newly rising deity of the Melting Fire Empire was still conversing with it.
Many years ago, the existence that was the Melting Fire Empire had sought to uncover the secrets of the Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits and thus waged war, but at that time, the deity of the Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits still retained some strength.
As years passed and fortunes shifted, the deity of the Melting Fire Empire finally grasped the subtleties of the Law of Heaven and Earth. After several probes, it discovered the decline of the deity of the Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits and thus launched this assault.
Now, after a long conversation, the deity of the Melting Fire Empire had also understood the next level of Dharma Method.
"I remember that Great Song also had an existence who had reached the Law of Heaven and Earth. Have you met him?" the deity of the Melting Fire Empire still harbored doubts.
"Met him... but he has been missing for a long time."
"Has he ever received further secret techniques from you?" the deity of the Melting Fire Empire pressed aggressively.
"No, he seems to have been involved in a higher level of strife and has now gone to the Ghost Domain in the north. I don’t know what for..."
"He aims to find the Land of Ruin in the Ghost Domain."
"That is not easy, nor certain."
"Hmph, I understand."
After pondering for a long time, the deity of the Melting Fire Empire said, "In two years, I will come here again."
Having said that, the deity intended to turn and leave, for it had abandoned the idea of launching an attack on Great Song and instead wished to turn toward the Ghost Domain in the north.
As an existence that has lived and practiced for a long time, it knew better than anyone the hardships and difficulties of cultivation.
To avoid unnecessary wars, one would avoid them as much as possible.
Since there was an existence of the same level as himself in the neighboring country, there was no need for him to provoke and turn Great Song into an Extinct Country.
He... too, would head north to seek out the "Land of Ruin" in the Ghost Domain.
Meanwhile, he planned to extract the remaining Dharma Methods from the deity of the Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits.
However, the deity of the Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits did not seem ready to let him go, and just as he had turned to leave, he said indifferently: "Do you know about Accumulating Thunder Mountain inside Great Song’s borders?"
Being far away, the deity of the Melting Fire Empire was unaware of it.
He shook his head.
The deity of the Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits said, "That place was where an existence above you, during its fusion with Zhan, was interrupted by that someone from Great Song, which then turned into an obliterated pathway of chaos.
Yet that someone escaped..."
As the final word was spoken, the ancient deity lightly smiled and added, "I forgot to tell you, the Emperor of Great Song who personally took command is the son of that someone."
To the new deity, what seemed like ordinary information gave much to ponder.
Interruption, escape implied injury, but also... that the other party held secrets.
Harboring enmity and secrets, and lying beside one’s own bed.
The new deity abandoned the plan to head north to search the Ghost Domain.
He decided to head west.
...
...
The new deity, named Melting Flame Divine Edge, had just entered the realm of Law of Heaven and Earth and was now searching for the method to reach "Seal."
The dying deity of the Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits, named She Yitu, had already achieved "Zhen Town Fusion," nestled within the boundaries of the Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits, providing the basic capabilities to all the Spirit Prayer Masters of this land.
The "Four Evil" forces wielded by those closest to being deities, is that not another form of "Medicinal Human"?
At this moment...
After the departure of Melting Flame Divine Edge, She Yitu returned to normal.
He aspired to reach a higher realm. He had once pursued it, but...
It seemed as though he remembered something, and abruptly the whole earth tensed, the Earthfire lay silent, and all forms of energy were as calm as the surface of a wave before a tsunami.
She Yitu recalled something from the very distant past.
Humans have their path.
A deity is but a powerful human.
A powerful human naturally walks a more challenging path.
She Yitu had walked that path too.
But it had become a sorrowful memory, and every time he thought of it, he could not help feeling angry.
However, he quickly calmed down.
Several days later...
She Yitu seemed to sense something; he looked towards a certain place and saw a woman in white falling down, her Divine Soul flying up—the woman was the empress of the Great Song Dynasty and also the general accompanying Song An to the west—Zhao Lingxue.
She Yitu raised his hand and beckoned; as he employed a Secret Technique, the Divine Soul was drawn over, hovering unsteadily, and carefully placed in the ethereal Yin Residence.
Inside the Yin Residence, another Divine Soul sat withered, who else could it be but Song An?
Song An was startled when he saw the newcomer.
Their four eyes met, and they had never imagined reuniting under such circumstances.
Though the two Divine Souls were not Ghostly Souls, the secret method that allowed their presence in the Yin Residence remained a mystery.
"How did you end up here?" Song An was somewhat excited, yet somewhat incredulous.
Zhao Lingxue responded, "I didn’t believe your majesty would meet with disaster, so I led the Demon Beasts deep into the Melting Fire Empire, only to be ambushed... I thought I was dead, but I never expected to see your majesty again."
"You’re really foolish."
"For your majesty, I am not foolish."
Hearing this, Song An looked at the woman before him, and all the past memories surged in his mind.
Suddenly, he understood the love of his life.
He did not know where he was, but he stepped forward and held Zhao Lingxue’s Divine Soul tightly, remorsefully saying, "I’m sorry."
...
...
News of the Emperor of Great Song and the Empress’s deaths in battle was conveyed back.
The hearts of the people within Great Song were in turmoil.
Even the Ji Family, which had allied with quite a few old Noble Families and had been stirring up endless trouble, grew quiet.
One military force after another did not head to Thundercloud State, the furthest west of Great Song, but instead stationed in the regions above and below where Accumulating Thunder Mountain once stood.
