Chapter 1786 Eternal Calamity (2)
Yun Lintian looked at the scene calmly. Without a doubt, the crown was transforming Yun Tian's profound vein.
An hour later, the light surrounding Yun Tian's body vanished. Yun Tian slowly opened his eyes and discovered an extraordinary sight within his body. His profound vein had become multicolored, and he could clearly feel the elements around him.
At the same time, the crown had vanished from his hand and appeared in his mind instead.
It took Yun Tian a long time to adapt to his newly acquired strength.
Afterwards, Yun Tian began practicing inside the cave. His absorption rate was incredible but still inferior to Yun Lintian's.
Yun Lintian carefully observed Yun Tian and realized that the profound art Yun Tian was practicing was not the Primordial Beyond Heaven Scripture but a weaker version of it. This made him further doubt the existence of the crown.
"Where exactly did it come from?" Yun Lintian frowned deeply.
A decade had passed. During this period, Yun Lintian followed Yun Tian everywhere. He witnessed every struggle and hardship Yun Tian had endured to achieve his current strength.
Similar to the previous Yun Tian, the current Yun Tian had already reached the peak of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm. Both of them spent approximately the same amount of time reaching this point.
Meanwhile, it took Yun Lintian a few years to reach the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm. Compared to Yun Tian, Yun Lintian's path was much easier.
Yun Lintian also noticed that Prince Yun Tian, Yun Tian of Cloud Mountain Sect, and the current Yun Tian all had similar personalities and demonstrated great perseverance.
"Reincarnation," Yun Lintian muttered to himself. He tried to understand the rules of reincarnation during this period, but he couldn't figure them out. He couldn't understand why Yun Tian kept returning over and over again.
At this moment, Yun Tian drove his horse-drawn carriage toward the capital city of the Xia Kingdom. After leaving ten years ago, Yun Tian had never returned to the city.
Since reaching the top of the world, Yun Tian's mindset had changed significantly. He didn't spend his time pursuing greater power but instead took a chance to live leisurely in a remote village.
At the same time, he could clearly sense the presence of the world's boundaries. Yun Tian knew that he would depart from this world sooner or later. It was the reason he chose to visit the capital city one last time before leaving.
"I don't know how the princess is doing now." Yun Tian mumbled to himself.
In the past decade, Yun Tian had often heard about Xia Nongyue. It was said that she had great talent in the profound path. Her talent had been recognized by numerous experts around the world.
However, she didn't choose to join any sects. Instead, she remained in the small Xia Kingdom to be with her mother.
Yun Tian actually admired Xia Nongyue very much. With her talent, her future was limitless, and she could become a top powerhouse everyone looked up to. Instead, she prioritized her family ties over personal glory. It wasn't an easy decision for a practitioner.
Yun Lintian sat in the carriage and calmly gazed at Yun Tian. Undoubtedly, this trip would restart the bond between Yun Tian and Xia Nongyue. He hoped that it wouldn't end up as a tragedy again.
"I'm afraid it will be." Yun Lintian shook his head. As much as he wanted to be optimistic, his intuition told him another tragic love story would repeat itself.
"But they don't appear to have a feeling for each other, right?" Yun Lintian spoke to himself again.
As far as he could remember, Yun Tian and Xia Nongyue could barely be considered acquaintances at most. He wasn't sure how they would come together in this situation.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the capital city. Yun Tian paid a toll fee and entered the city.
"It doesn't change much." Yun Tian looked around at the familiar scenery on both sides. The capital was still prosperous as usual.
Yun Tian found a hotel to stay in and went to the dining hall to grab a meal.
"Dear guest, I regret to inform you that we have limited food available. You can only order two dishes here." A waiter approached Yun Tian with an apologetic smile.
"Oh? What happened?" Yun Tian asked curiously.
The waiter explained. "You must have arrived in the city today. It's like this. There will be a celebration of the eldest princess's marriage tomorrow. We need to prepare the food we have reserved for the event."
Yun Tian was stunned. "Is Her Highness about to get married? To whom?"
"I heard that the groom is a young sect master of the Sky Sword Sect." The waiter spoke in a low voice.
"Sky Sword Sect?" Yun Tian furrowed his brow. The Sky Sword Sect was the number one sect in the world. They had extended their influence to every place. One could argue that they ruled this world.
Yun Tian had many conflicts with the Sky Sword Sect in the past, but he didn't take it to heart. Especially when his strength reached the point where he could destroy the sect with a wave of his hand.
The waiter thought Yun Tian seemed confused. He looked around briefly before whispering. "Don't tell anyone this. I heard that our princess is being forced to do this. He threatened to destroy our Xia Kingdom."
Yun Tian was slightly surprised. "I see."
"Do you want to order something?" The waiter asked further.
"Well. Give me two dishes." Yun Tian nodded and found an empty table by the window.
Yun Tian gazed at the scenery outside, lost in thoughts of Xia Nongyue. Ten years ago, he met Xia Nongyue by chance when he happened to have a rare herb she needed in his hand.
They seemed to be on the same wavelength and quickly hit it off as friends. The good times didn't last long, as he accidentally learned about her identity later through a threat from the crown prince.
Their fate should have ended the moment he left back then. However, Yun Tian didn't know why he felt uncomfortable in his heart upon learning that Xia Nongyue was coerced into a marriage.
"Ah... here we go. A marriage plot." Yun Lintian smiled knowingly, like a seasoned reader.
