Chapter 1195: Chapter 1163: Eternal Sacrifice
In a room in the backyard of the[Guanghan Palace], a woman in a white Liuli dress was standing beside a table, placing a brocade box on it.
Wasn’t that brocade box the very same one Lin Yi had gotten before?
Lin Yi stared at this scene in shock, suddenly feeling a shameful sense of being caught red‑handed.
But very soon, Lin Yi was drawn in by what the woman did next.
He watched as, after setting the brocade box on the table, the woman took a strip of White Silk lying beside the table and looped it over the beam above her head.
Lin Yi already foresaw what was about to happen, and his face changed dramatically:
"No, don’t!"
Yet Lin Yi quickly realized that everything before his eyes was only an illusion.
He tried to rush forward to stop her, but his hands closed on empty air.
The woman calmly tied the White Silk hanging from the beam into a noose and murmured:
"My lord, I’m coming to find you. Wait for me."
Even though he already knew how it would end, seeing it with his own eyes still left Lin Yi deeply shaken on the spot.
Looking at the chair tipped over to the side, a wave of grief suddenly surged into his heart.
"So this is the love of the heavenly race? So tragic and grand."
Before, Lin Yi had still been puzzled about where all those swaying White Silks had come from.
The answer had now been laid bare before him.
They were what this Fairy Guanghan turned into after her death; as for why it was White Silk, Lin Yi had no idea.
But when he once again found himself in that room filled with White Silk—
This time, Lin Yi faintly sensed that there seemed to be a woman in a white dress, laughing joyously with that Golden Armor man among the white ribbons.
In their World, did souls truly never perish?
At this moment Lin Yi also seemed to understand where that earlier feeling of "being watched" in the room had come from.
Was it her? ...
If it really was, then taking the[Guanghan Jade]away wouldn’t quite count as stealing, would it.
Just as Lin Yi was lost in thought, all the images on the altar suddenly vanished.
The commotion snapped Lin Yi back to himself.
After a burst of dazzling, multicolored radiance, Fairy Guanghan, in her Liuli white dress, appeared once more before Lin Yi.
Lin Yi had only gone through two illusions, yet for some reason it felt as if he had lived through this woman’s tragic life himself, his heart filled with an irrepressible sense of regret.
As soon as Fairy Guanghan appeared, she spoke:
"This altar is called[Eternal]."
"It is an ’Eternal Sacrifice’ set up on Celestial Saint Peak by a certain lord to commemorate the one he loved."
Hearing her introduction, Lin Yi finally understood the name and origin of this altar.
If that was really the case...
Then Lin Yi could be sure that the woman who had appeared atop the altar earlier was not the Zhang Xinying he knew.
As unbelievable as it sounded.
But after all Lin Yi had been through, a coincidence of someone just looking alike really wasn’t something he couldn’t accept.
Instead, Lin Yi began to grow curious:
"Who was the one who built this altar?"
The question almost slipped out of him; clearly, Fairy Guanghan was also taken aback by it.
But very soon, Fairy Guanghan pressed her lips together and gave a small laugh:
"I’m sorry, I can’t answer that question for you either."
"I believe one day you’ll definitely learn the answer yourself."
Lin Yi frowned at that:
’This line again.’
Everything is "one day, one day"... Can’t they say it now? Does it have to wait for that so‑called day?
And Lin Yi himself didn’t even know if he’d live to see that day.
But then Lin Yi suddenly remembered a key phrase in her words, and his hair stood on end:
"You said this is Celestial Saint Peak?"
What kind of place was Celestial Saint Peak?
It was the most mysterious of all Pilgrimage Peak, a Domain that not even the Hundred Races had been able to explore to this day.
Just imagine, the summit of the[Earth Peak]within Pilgrimage Peak was where the spatial Teleportation Gates connecting all sorts of planes were located.
Then how terrifying must the[Celestial Saint Peak]be, when it was even more mysterious than[Earth Peak]?
You could say this question had already far surpassed Lin Yi’s scope of vision from the very beginning; to this day he still couldn’t imagine what lay upon[Celestial Saint Peak].
Yet now this woman was telling him that the altar beneath his feet was right within[Celestial Saint Peak]. How could Lin Yi not be shocked?
How could he possibly stay calm!
Fairy Guanghan, however, spoke bluntly:
"Yes. This is one of the divine peaks within[Celestial Saint Peak]."
After she finished, Fairy Guanghan seemed to feel that this alone wasn’t stimulating enough, and teased Lin Yi:
"You’ve already gone into the entrance to[Outer Heaven]just now, haven’t you? Don’t you feel it’s a pity you couldn’t stay longer before being kicked out?"
Lin Yi’s whole body trembled, staring at her in disbelief:
"How do you know?"
"Heh~"
Fairy Guanghan covered her small mouth and let out a delicate laugh:
"With your current strength,"
"any single item in there would be enough to multiply your power several times over, even dozens of times."
As she spoke, under Lin Yi’s incredulous gaze, Fairy Guanghan played with the piece of[Guanghan Jade]and shook her head:
"It’s a pity you chose the most mediocre one."
Those words from Fairy Guanghan nearly made Lin Yi choke on his own breath.
Perhaps sensing the fleeting regret in his eyes, Fairy Guanghan chuckled softly:
"But you don’t need to feel it’s a pity."
"Because in all of Outer Heaven, only this piece of[Guanghan Jade]can activate the ’Eternal Sacrifice’ and summon this wisp of my remnant soul."
"Those treasures may indeed be immensely powerful, but the conditions to use them are just as harsh."
"Even if you got your hands on them, you might not be able to fully bring out their power."
She deliberately paused at that point, as if giving Lin Yi time to digest this information.
Only after a moment did she continue:
"What I can tell you now is that the true entrance to[Outer Heaven]lies within[Celestial Saint Peak]."
"If you want to obtain more treasures, then you have to find a way to enter[Celestial Saint Peak]and locate the entrance to[Outer Heaven]."
Hearing this, Lin Yi instantly wilted like an eggplant hit by frost, his spirits collapsing by half:
"I can’t even reach the top of[Human Peak]right now. Thinking about entering[Celestial Saint Peak]is still way too early, isn’t it."
Fairy Guanghan, however, didn’t seem bothered:
"It won’t be long."
Lin Yi was taken aback:
"What?"
Fairy Guanghan did not elaborate, instead saying:
"I am just a wisp of my true self’s remnant soul, so my memories are incomplete."
"There are many things I can’t give you an Accurate answer to."
Then she picked up the[Demon’s Horn]in her hand, a complicated look in her eyes:
"Originally, since you found me, I had prepared a small gift for you. But..."
"Since you brought this, I’ve changed my mind..."
