Chapter 508: Speculating
Hearing the question, Xuan Ke chuckled.
Back then, he liked Murong Feng.
However, matters of love couldn’t be forced.
Even before they left the Cangxing world, he already knew that he and Murong Feng were impossible.
Fortunately, his feelings weren’t too powerful.
After a while, he let go of Murong Feng and was able to calmly accept the relationship between the person and Yang Xu.
"I am fine, don’t worry about me." Xuan Ke said with a smile on his face.
Seeing the smile, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen were relieved.
After all, one was the sworn brother and the other was the beloved master.
No matter what, they didn’t want a rift to appear in the group.
"You will find your fate." Jiang Yue encouraged but Xuan Ke chuckled.
"What are you talking about brother Jiang? Murong Feng was a temporary bout of insanity. I still want to marry many beauties." The monk said and Jiang Yue rolled his eyes.
’It seems he has really recovered.’ He thought.
"How are the Cangxing mines?" Yu Nianzhen suddenly asked.
"The mines are fine but the mining is slow." Xuan Ke said and frowned.
"It can’t be helped." Jiang Yue sighed and the other two agreed.
After all, everyone in the Cangxing world was only in the second level of the reincarnation realm.
With that kind of strength, it was already difficult to mine low-grade reincarnation stone mines, let alone mid-grade and high-grade mines.
"Our cultivation is already at the peak so we will have more time in the future. We can take some time to mine." Yu Nianzhen said to Jiang Yue.
"That’s a good idea." Jiang Yue readily agreed.
After that, the three discussed a few more things before they retreated to their rooms.
In the topmost room of the ancient palace, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue hugged as soon as the protective formation closed around them.
"XiaoYue, I missed you very much." Yu Nianzhen whispered.
"I missed you too." Jiang Yue answered and the two fell silent.
In the one million years of torture, only the thought of each other sustained them.
Because they wanted to see their lover, they endured inhumane torture and finally survived.
After coming out of the trial grounds, people surrounded them and they didn’t have time to be with each other.
Now that they had an opportunity, they didn’t want to let go of each other.
Soon after, the two fell onto the bed and soft moans filled the topmost room of the ancient palace.
One month later, the two lay in a bath pool and Jiang Yue couldn’t help but sigh in contentment.
"It feels good to have a hot bath." He said.
"Mmmmm." Yu Nianzhen agreed and hugged his lover closer to his chest.
"XiaoYue, can you tell me what happened to you in the trial grounds?" He asked.
Hearing the question, Jiang Yue sighed.
In the one month they spent together, the two didn’t talk about the tribulation or the situation of the Cangxing mountain.
They only focused on each other and tried to reassure their lover.
However, talking about the trial could only be avoided for so long.
When the time, they still had to talk about it.
"I will show you." Jiang Yue said and leaned his forehead against Yu Nianzhen’s.
Soon after, a flood of memories flowed between them and both saw what the other experienced.
"It was awful." Jiang Yue said and Yu Nianzhen tightened his arms around the person.
"We are fine now." He said and the two fell silent.
Later, they came out of the bathpool, dressed, and sat at a stone table.
"Azhen, when should we enter the transformation pools?" Jiang Yue asked.
"When we go to the transformation pools, the Cangxing cultivators will fall into danger." Yu Nianzhen said and frowned.
"However, there are benefits to going to the transformation pools early."
Hearing this, Jiang Yue nodded.
After considering everything, the two concluded that the Infinite Transformations World Guarding Formation was the reason why the Cangxing world was isolated from the rest of the Ten Thousand Worlds realm.
Now that the Infinite Transformations World Guarding formation had failed, the Cangxing world was reconnected not only to the Reincarnation world but also to the rest of the Ten Thousand Worlds realm.
In that case, more Cangxing cultivators would soon be able to come to the Reincarnation world which would increase the population and strength of the Cangxing mountain.
Considering that, it was better to upgrade the Cangxing world as soon as possible.
In doing so, the world would produce more talents and the Cangxing world would recover faster from the damage of the Death Flower Ascension Front war.
Most importantly, old man Cang would recover faster.
"There is a way for us to stay in the Reincarnation world after advancing to the immortal realm." Yu Nianzhen suddenly said.
"There is?" Jiang Yue asked.
"It’s in the information I got when I became the mountain master." Yu Nianzhen said and frowned.
"Does it have disadvantages?" Jiang Yue immediately saw through the crux of the matter.
"Every person can stay in the Reincarnation world for nine thousand years. Even if we advance to the immortal realm, we can still stay here for another six to seven thousand years. However..." Yu Nianzhen paused and looked at Jiang Yue before he continued.
"We can’t fight recklessly. The Reincarnation world is a world for reincarnation realm cultivators and won’t tolerate immortal realm cultivators. If we fight, the world may retaliate against us."
Hearing this, Jiang Yue frowned a little.
"What if we use strength that doesn’t exceed the ninth level of the reincarnation realm?" He asked.
"The qi presence of an immortal is different from that of a reincarnation realm cultivator. Even the aura alone is enough to outrage the will of the world. If we stay here, we must suppress our cultivation and qi presence."
"This..." Jiang Yue started and couldn’t help but frown.
Hiding cultivation was different from suppressing.
When hiding their cultivation, they could still use their true strength.
However, if they suppressed their cultivation, their immortal cultivation would be completely inaccessible.
Most importantly, suppressing was harmful to the body and foundation.
If things went wrong, the cultivation realm would regress, a thick barrier would form, and further advancement would almost be impossible.
"Also, if we advance to the immortal realm but still stay in the Reincarnation world, our cultivation will stagnate for several thousand years."
After that, both people fell into thought until Jiang Yue broke the silence.
"Azhen, do you think old man Cang is the personification of the will of our Cangxing world?" Jiang Yue suddenly asked and Yu Nianzhen nodded.
"I think he is." Yu Nianzhen said.
When he was in the memory, the past Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen interacted with the old man.
Unfortunately, they never explicitly mentioned the identity of the old man.
However, based on small clues here and there, Yu Nianzhen also guessed that old man Cang was the will of the Cangxing world.
"From what I understand, our past selves separated their souls. A trace of the soul was left in the Cangxing world while the rest was reincarnated on Earth. If the old man didn’t help us, our incomplete souls would have dissipated in the underworld." Jiang Yue suddenly stated.
Originally, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue thought that they and the original body owners were separate entities.
However, after viewing their past life memories, they realised that this wasn’t the case.
Rather than separate entities, they were parts of the same soul.
As a result, when they died on Earth, old man Cang dragged their souls and reunited them with the trace of their souls in the Cangxing world.
"I still don’t understand why it was necessary to let us reincarnate in another realm." Jiang Yue said and frowned.
In the memory, the past Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen were very insistent on this matter.
From what Jiang Yue could gather, reincarnating in another realm was the key to everything.
Unfortunately, the two past selves didn’t go into details and the current selves could only speculate.
"XiaoYue, did you notice the cultivation of our past selves?" Yu Nianzhen asked.
"Saint realm." Jiang Yu immediately answered but quickly frowned before he continued.
"If our cultivation was in the saint realm, it means our Cangxing world was a saint-grade world."
"Exactly." Yu Nianzhen nodded and the two looked at each other.
"In the memory, our cultivation seemed to have hit a dead end. If I am not mistaken, reincarnating in another realm is the key to avoiding the dead end." Yu Nianzhen said and frowned.
"How?" Jiang Yue couldn’t help but be shocked.
"I don’t know." Yu Nianzhen said and shrugged.
"We need to have a good talk with the old man when we return to the Cangxing world." Jiang Yue said and Yu Nianzhen couldn’t agree more.
At the moment, everything was just speculation and they wouldn’t know for sure until they talked to someone who knew what was going on.
