Lin Fan and Huan Yue smoothly ascended into the palace.
Upon entering the palace, Lin Fan felt it was yet another world.
Outside, everything was frozen for miles on end.
Yet within this palace, it was spring-like and full of flowers, so unimaginable how vast the difference was between outside and here.
Afterwards, despite the three women not getting along, after introducing them, Lin Fan asked Li Rou: "By the way, Sister Rou, earlier you mentioned waiting here for me, what's that all about? Did you really know I would come here?"
Li Rou calmly said: "Of course we knew you'd come here, it was just a matter of time. No matter what happened, you would definitely come here!"
Li Rou spoke with confidence.
However, Lin Fan was even more puzzled and asked: "Why? Why are you so confident I would come?"
Li Rou responded: "Because the other half of your soul is sealed here, so naturally, you would come!"
"What?"
Lin Fan was shocked, and doubt grew in his heart as he asked: "The other half of my soul is sealed here? What's going on?"
Li Rou said: "I can't explain it clearly, come with me and you'll understand after seeing it!"
Li Rou finished speaking and led the way.
Gao Feiyan followed beside Li Rou.
Lin Fan followed too, no doubt, Huan Yue also followed, at this moment, Huan Yue was also deeply perplexed, intuition told Huan Yue that something major was about to happen next.
As they kept walking forward, Lin Fan felt as if some voice was calling him mysteriously.
At the same time, Huan Yue's face turned a bit pale, because as they advanced, a familiar aura emerged and enveloped them.
Finally, they arrived in front of a giant secret chamber.
Li Rou said: "The other half of your sealed soul is inside here, let's go in!"
Li Rou opened the door to the secret chamber and entered first.
A familiar aura hit them instantly.
A shadow in a corner was pressed by a phantom mountain, although the shadow constantly struggled, unfortunately, it couldn't shake off the phantom mountain.
It was clear that this shadow was pinned by the phantom mountain, unable to break free, who knows how long it's been suppressed there, maybe it's been countless years?
Seeing the shadow, Lin Fan suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
At this moment, Huan Yue shrieked: "Immortal Venerate? Is it really you? How… How are you here?"
Lin Fan's face turned extremely grim when he saw the suppressed shadow.
Because Lin Fan felt that the suppressed shadow was him, he was the suppressed shadow.
Huan Yue rushed towards the shadow, wanting to touch it.
Unfortunately, before she could get close to the shadow, a mysterious energy blocked Huan Yue, making it impossible for her to approach.
Li Rou said indifferently: "Stop wasting your effort, it's useless, you cannot get closer; if we could, we would have rescued him already."
Huan Yue looked over at Li Rou, asking: "What's going on? Why is the Nine Moon Immortal Venerate's soul suppressed here?"
Li Rou said: "It's a long story, not something that can be explained in a few words!"
At this time, Lin Fan was also completely bewildered and asked: "Sister Rou, can you please explain? Why does this suppressed soul seem so familiar to me?"
Originally, when he saw Li Rou and Gao Feiyan, Lin Fan's heart was full of excitement.
But now, the excitement deep in Lin Fan's heart was gone, as the suppressed soul shadow before him had suppressed it.
Li Rou pondered for a moment and then said: "Alright, let me tell you a story first!"
Li Rou stopped after saying this.
However, Lin Fan and Huan Yue were both intently staring at Li Rou, knowing that the exciting story was about to unfold.
Li Rou continued: "Legend has it that in ancient times, there was no division of Three Realms in the universe; back then, the Three Realms were connected, mortals, immortals, and god-men lived together peacefully, the universe was a realm of tranquility, with almost no battles, no distinction between good and evil, one could say people living in that era were unbelievably happy."
"Originally, everyone thought the whole universe would continue in peace like this!"
"But one day, from beyond the starry sky of the universe, suddenly an Outer Realm Demon fell, a demon so powerful that the universe's experts united to barely seal it, but after that battle, the energy sustaining the universe was nearly depleted, the Human Realm, Immortal Realm, and Divine Realm could no longer be connected, thus became the Three Realms. Since the emergence of the Three Realms, calamities have been endless, battles never-ending, compared to ancient times, life now is like Hell."
"Of course, that's not the most important thing. The most crucial part is, although the Outer Realm Demon has been sealed, many of his divine skills remain unsealed. Countless demons spawned by him continue to wreak havoc across the universe!"
"There's also a rumor that the Outer Realm Demon can break the seal at any time. There's no doubt that once he does, the entire universe will descend into chaos!"
"One day, an unbelievably gifted individual emerged within the universe, named Nine Venerate. The extent of Nine Venerate's talent was simply beyond imagination. If allowed to fully develop, he could soon enough slay the Outer Realm Demon, bringing tranquility back to the Three Realms, possibly even reunifying them."
"Everyone in the Three Realms places their hopes on Nine Venerate."
"However, with Nine Venerate's emergence, the Outer Realm Demon also sensed a threat. He schemed tirelessly to prevent Nine Venerate from flourishing."
"The Outer Realm Demon deployed extremely formidable divine skills, conjuring ten expert demons to locate and battle Nine Venerate!"
"Although Nine Venerate was exceptionally talented, he ultimately hadn't matured sufficiently. In the end, he perished in battle. Originally, the ten expert demons intended to completely obliterate Nine Venerate's soul!"
"But for some unknown reason, Nine Venerate's soul was extraordinarily peculiar, absolutely indestructible. In the end, unable to eliminate it, the ten expert demons divided Nine Venerate's soul into three parts: one sealed in the Human Realm, one in the Immortal Domain, and another in the Divine Domain. Furthermore, they set up an array to continually deplete Nine Venerate's soul, planning to exhaust it completely, ensuring his ultimate demise!"
"Initially, Nine Venerate's soul was rapidly consumed. Later, a unique race emerged in the universe, known as the Soul Guardian Clan. Their mission is to protect Nine Venerate's soul!"
"The Soul Guardian Clan in the Human Realm is the Lin Family. As for the one in the Immortal Domain, both Gao Feiyan and I belong to it. Unfortunately, we've dwindled down to just the two of us now in the Immortal Domain. If we perish, the Soul Guardian Clan will face extinction entirely. Then, the part of Nine Venerate's soul sealed in the Immortal Domain will be extremely endangered."
"In the end, facing no other choice, the two of us reincarnated into the Human Realm to seek out Nine Venerate's soul there and activate it."
"Initially, we thought we couldn't wait for the soul in the Human Realm to mature and return. Luckily, blessed by the heavens, we finally managed to encounter Nine Venerate's soul."
At this point, Li Rou paused, fixing his gaze on Lin Fan.
Lin Fan, somewhat dazed, asked, "Sister Rou, you mean... I am the soul of Nine Venerate sealed in the Human Realm?"
Li Rou nodded and replied, "Yes!"
Lin Fan found it quite unbelievable.
He never dreamed that he might hold such an impressive identity.
Lin Fan asked again, "Sister Rou, what if the three parts of Nine Venerate's soul were to merge? What would be the outcome?"
Li Rou stated, "If all three parts of Nine Venerate's soul were to become one, then hope for our universe would be restored, and there's a significant chance the Three Realms might unify again. However..."
At this point, Li Rou paused, seemingly burdened by unspeakable concerns.
Lin Fan inquired, "What is it, Sister Rou? What's going on?"
Li Rou hesitated, apparently debating whether to reveal the truth.
After a while, Li Rou steeled herself and said, "Because the Outer Realm Demon won't allow the three souls to merge. Once they do, he'll be threatened. Lin Fan, prepare yourself for various dangers coming your way!"
Lin Fan nodded and moved on from the topic, asking, "By the way, Sister Rou, do you know what's happening with the Soul Guardian Clan in the Divine Domain?"
"Hehe!"
Li Rou smiled slightly and said, "Speaking of the Soul Guardian Clan in the Divine Domain, you know them well, and you're quite familiar with them."
"What?"
Lin Fan was taken aback, "Sister Rou, you say I know the Soul Guardian Clan in the Divine Domain?"
Li Rou nodded, "Indeed, do you remember Hu Mei'er going to the Divine Domain?"
Lin Fan was shocked, "Sister Rou, you mean... Hu Mei'er is part of the Soul Guardian Clan in the Divine Domain?"
Li Rou nodded and replied, "Yes!"
Lin Fan remained silent.
However, for reasons unknown, at that instant, Lin Fan felt a sudden and uneasy premonition.
Others remained silent too, merely observing Lin Fan.
After some time, Lin Fan calmed down and asked, "Sister Rou, what should I do next?"
Li Rou answered, "Your task is simple: rescue the sealed soul and... merge it."
Lin Fan asked, "If I merge this soul, what benefits will I receive?"
Li Rou shook her head, "That, I do not know. We are merely the Soul Guardian Clan, unaware of the consequences of Nine Venerate's soul merging!"
"Alright!"
Lin Fan nodded, "In that case, I'll go ahead and merge my second soul!"
