Chapter 286: Telling her
Chapter 286: Telling her
After walking around this beautiful mansion built with high-class precious stones for a while, Shi Yue stopped and stared at him.
"Tell me, what's wrong? You can hide a lot of things from those girls because they are inexperienced, but I was watching you when you were on the spirit boat and I can tell that there is something that has you pensive and makes you want to do things faster." Shi Yue said directly.
Tang Yin looked at her, somewhat surprised, but smiled helplessly.
He didn't want to hide things from her either, so he decided to be honest.
"Master, something is going on with Li Xian. A force annihilated her family a long time ago and was somehow holding her prisoner, as they had used a spiritual enslavement array on her." Tang Yin replied, and Shi Yue frowned.
"Li Xian? The girl who always hangs out with the one with the world tree leaf?" she asked doubtfully, and Tang Yin nodded.
"Strange... There's no way it can hide something like that from me..." She said, frowning unconsciously, and Tang Yin nodded.
"I thought the same thing, but that spiritual array was special, it had been created with traces of some soul she held dear and was bound to her soul, so it was extremely difficult to realize its existence unless she herself decided to show it. I realized when she was taking it off, she was trying to retain that soul in her body." Tang Yin said, and Shi Yue looked at him in surprise.
"Trying to retain a soul in her very soul? That's extremely dangerous!" She replied, and Tang Yin nodded.
"...Maybe it's so she won't feel lonely." Answered Tang Yin, one of his guesses, but shook his head helplessly.
"I managed to remove the spiritual array and because of that, those guys no longer have control of her. Although their enemies don't know it because I replaced the spiritual array with another one just like it, but that belongs to me. The problem is..." Tang Yin said and stopped.
"What's the problem?" Shi Yue asked, and Tang Yin let out a slight sigh.
"Her death wish is too strong. I couldn't make her want to live again, even if I tried all night. That's why I couldn't stop her. Besides, the explosive array inside her was too powerful, I couldn't erase it. She is totally willing to explode herself to take revenge." Tang Yin replied, and his countenance quickly darkened.
This was the topic he hadn't wanted to think or talk about, but if it was to Shi Yue, he was willing to tell her.
Shi Yue looked at him a little after this and nodded slightly.
Then she averted her gaze from him and looked out the window beside her for a moment as she gazed out at the beautiful place she had created with her own hands.
"Tang Yin, death is something that awaits us all. There is no way to escape it. Some say it is possible to reach immortality and I once believed it was possible, but that is not known to us. So sooner or later death will come to us." She said with a slight sigh at the end as if she was exhausted.
Tang Yin looked at her doubtfully, understanding what she meant.
Shi Yue, after a moment's thought, smiled.
"Still, it is not good when death comes early. When it comes early, you can't enjoy the beauty of this world and couldn't even understand the reason for your birth." She said again and gave Tang Yin a little tap on the head, making him stare at her doubtfully.
She smiled at him, "Therefore, be a man and prevent your little girl, who has not lived long, from regaining the desire to live. If you do, you will earn my respect." She spoke.
Tang Yin stared at her for several seconds and then smiled.
"Don't worry, master. I have a way and a plan for it. But, that's why I need to find that spiritual herb as soon as possible." He replied firmly.
Shi Yue nodded then.
"If you have a plan and you can do it, I can get you that spiritual herb. I know where to find it, but it won't be easy to get it. So, although I will get it for you, I will not give it to you if you are only going to die when you go there. Tell me, what gives you the confidence to face her enemies? Are they weak? Or will your power increase dramatically when you get your arm back?
If you tell me nothing, even if I hand it over to you, I will not allow you to go there." She replied.
If she could make her disciple get his arm back, she would naturally do so. After all, a cultivator without an arm is not the same as a cultivator with all his limbs.
Still, what makes him so confident that he could help and save Li Xian just by getting his arm back? That was her doubt.
Tang Yin gave him a slight nod.
It's not like he wanted to hide it or anything.
"Master, to answer you that, I have to show you something, can we cultivate together? Mixing spiritual energy with soul energy, I mean. So that you understand what I mean. If I tell you just like that you won't believe me." Tang Yin replied with an embarrassed smile at the end, and she felt a little stunned but nodded to him a little.
'What is this guy planning?' she thought, but after a moment's thought, she shrugged her shoulders without giving this much thought.
Tang Yin had always surprised her, so she was curious about what he wanted to show her now.
So, she nodded to him as she sat down on the floor, cross-legged.
"Let's do it then." She said, and Tang Yin nodded, sitting down soon after.
After that, she raised her hand to grab Tang Yin's waiting one, and they both closed their eyes.
'Since I can't show my other heavenly hammer, I can only have her experience the two heavenly hammers herself.' Tang Yin thought.
His twin heavenly hammers are an anomaly that should be impossible to happen. Never before had someone appeared who had two spirit weapons that were the same in every way.
This was another reason why Tang Yin had to die at that time. Because two heavenly hammers were very scary, even more so in conjunction with a divine soul.
He is the greatest anomaly that this universe could have.
That's why he was sure she wouldn't believe him if he told her without proof.
That's also why he hasn't told any of the girls.
After all, evidence and actions have always spoken louder than the words themselves.
Soon, Tang Yin's spiritual energy came out of his body, as it mixed with some small silver-colored lines and circled him, colliding with the spiritual energy surrounding Shi Yue's body.
She, instead of having silver-colored lines, carried black-colored lines that fluttered back and forth.
