Chapter 649 Returning from the Fire, Sword Breaking Soul
Return of the Infernal Affairs
In the netherworld, on the banks of the Forgetful River, the flowers of the other shore are in full bloom, reflecting countless numb and empty souls.
Lin Wei's spirit once wandered here, carrying endless resentment and resentment. She remembered the poisoned finger sword, and Mo Chen's face, still etched with hypocrisy and greed in her final moments. This was the number one genius of a rival family with whom she had many interactions, and they were childhood sweethearts.
"Lin Wei, don't blame me," he said in a cold and cruel voice. "Your Extreme Yin Sacred Body and Spirit Pattern Leather Armor can only unleash their true power in my hands. Your talent is too much of an eyesore."
The sword pierced her throat, and blood gushed out, carrying the warmth of life with it. When she fell, the last thing she saw was Mo Chen's greedy eyes.
Endless darkness engulfed her, and her soul left her body, falling into the cycle of reincarnation. However, just as she was about to drink Meng Po soup and forget her past, the golden vine patterns on her spiritual leather armor shone brightly.
An indescribable suction emanated from the golden vine patterns, forcibly pulling her dissipating soul back and enveloping it in a warm, purple-gold halo. Immediately afterwards, a vast and majestic torrent of information, as if emanating from ancient times, rushed into her sea of consciousness.
It turns out that the priest inheritance in her line of the Lin family is made of golden vine patterns and spiritual pattern leather armor, fueled by endless resentment and vitality. It can be reborn in nirvana in desperate situations, and even... come back to life!
The chill of the Forgotten River, the burning of hellfire, the wailing of countless dead souls... all became the nourishment for her nirvana and rebirth. Nourished by the golden vine patterns, her soul not only did not dissipate, but instead became increasingly solid and powerful. Through endless pain and suffering, her consciousness became as tough as steel and as cold as ice.
An unknown number of years passed, perhaps a moment, perhaps an eternity. When her soul power accumulated to its peak, a burst of purple-gold light suddenly erupted, tearing through the shackles of the underworld. Like a meteor, it streaked through the void and shot towards the place where she died!
……
At the foot of a remote cliff.
The place was overgrown with weeds and jagged with rocks. It was here not long ago that Mo Chen had "killed" Lin Wei with his own hands and thrown her "corpse" off the cliff. He had thought she had long since been shattered to pieces, her soul scattered.
Yet, today, a dazzling purple-gold light suddenly erupted from the rubble beneath the cliff. Within this light, a flawless body, skin whiter than snow, slowly took shape. Every inch of skin that grew, every strand of hair that spread, was accompanied by a majestic breath of life and heart-pounding energy fluctuations.
The light faded and Lin Wei slowly opened her eyes.
Those eyes, once clear and lively, were now as deep as a cold pond, still and tranquil. Deep within them, a glimmer of purple-gold light occasionally flashed, carrying with it a majesty that looked down upon the world and... a chill that penetrated the bones.
She looked down at her hands. They were white and slender, yet they held a power that could destroy the world. Feeling the endless, vast, ocean-like energies surging through her body, and the powerful force deep within her soul that had practically solidified into something substantial, Lin Wei's lips curled up in an icy arc.
"Mo Chen... I'm back."
Her voice was soft, but it carried undeniable murderous intent, echoing beneath the silent cliff.
An invisible aura spread out from her, instantly withering the surrounding weeds and silently shattering the rocks. Even the unconscious release of her aura had such power!
She checked her own realm and found that she had reached the peak of the heavenly realm!
From the peak of the Earth Realm to resurrection from the dead, ascending to the peak of the Heaven Realm in one step! This is the heaven-defying power of the priestly inheritance in the golden vine pattern and spiritual pattern leather armor!
The peak of heavenly realm!
This realm is extremely rare within a radius of 100 miles, and even in the entire Eastern Region, and is enough to be called a super strong person!
And she remembered that when she died, Mo Chen's cultivation had greatly improved, and at best, he had only reached the Heavenly Realm.
Lin Wei's eyes flashed with disdain. Compared to her current self, Mo Chen wasn't even worthy of her attention.
But she had to kill him! In the most cruel and painful way!
She wanted him to have a taste of the pain she had endured! She wanted him to fall from the clouds and be shattered to pieces at the moment of his greatest success and glory!
With a flash of her figure, Lin Wei vanished from the spot like a ghost, leaving only a slight ripple of energy. Her target: Ghost Valley, the main peak!
One: Unlimited scenery
Ghost Valley, main peak, and martial arts training ground.
Today's martial arts arena is bustling with people and flags are flying.
Because today is the day when Mo Chen, the number one of the younger generation of Qinglan Sect and known as a genius that appears once in a thousand years, breaks through to the Heavenly Realm, receives the sect’s commendation, and prepares to be promoted to an inner sect elder!
On the high platform, the Qinglan Sect's leader and several core elders sat, all with pleased smiles on their faces. The leader, in particular, nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the spirited figure in the arena.
"This boy Mo Chen has lived up to everyone's expectations! He has reached the great success of the Heavenly Realm at such a young age, and is only one step away from the legendary peak of the Heavenly Realm! In time, he will surely lead our Qinglan Sect to glory!" A white-bearded elder stroked his beard and exclaimed in admiration.
Mo Chen stood in the center of the martial arts arena, dressed in a moon-white robe, a jade pendant dangling from his waist, his face handsome and his aura extraordinary. He felt the awe, envy, and jealous gazes from all directions, his heart filled with pride and satisfaction.
Heavenly realm is complete!
In the entire Qinglan Sect, apart from the Sect Master and several Supreme Elders who have been in seclusion for many years, who else can be his opponent?
He thought of Lin Wei. That foolish woman, the one whose talent was clearly superior to his, yet naively trusted him, and whose throat he ultimately pierced. If it weren't for her, how could he have achieved the dual cultivation of her Extreme Yin Body? How could he have achieved his current status?
Thinking of Lin Wei's disbelieving and resentful look before her death, Mo Chen felt no guilt at all, but instead a sense of satisfaction. The weak should be trampled under the feet of the strong! Her talent, her skills, should have belonged to him, Mo Chen!
"Mo Chen!" The Sect Master's resounding voice echoed throughout the entire martial arts arena. "You have broken through to the Heavenly Realm, bringing honor and glory to our Qinglan Sect! From today on, you will be the youngest Inner Sect Elder of our Qinglan Sect! I grant you the top-grade spiritual weapon 'Flowing Cloud Sword' and one thousand top-grade spirit stones! I hope you will continue to work hard and soon break through that final step to reach the pinnacle of the Heavenly Realm!"
"Thank you, Sect Master! Thank you, elders!" Mo Chen knelt on one knee, his voice clear and full of excitement. He took the Liuyun Sword, a top-grade spiritual weapon, from the servant and felt the powerful spiritual energy contained within it. The smile on his face became even brighter.
The peak of the Heavenly Realm… Of course he wanted to! He practiced diligently day and night, and although his progress was rapid, the further he progressed, the more difficult it felt. The gap between the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm and the peak of the Heavenly Realm seemed insurmountable! But he believed that with his talent and opportunity, he would be able to reach it one day!
Below the stage, countless disciples cheered excitedly.
"Senior Brother Mo Chen is so awesome!"
"Long live Elder Mo Chen!"
"My Qinglan Sect will definitely win!"
Mo Chen stood up, holding the Flowing Cloud Sword, and proudly stood in the center of the martial arts arena, enjoying this moment of glory that belonged to him. He raised his chin slightly, glanced at the audience, and enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.
At this moment, his eyes fixed, as if he sensed something, and he subconsciously looked towards the entrance of the training ground.
Not only him, but also the sect leader and several elders with profound cultivation on the high platform frowned slightly and cast a scrutinizing glance towards the entrance.
At the entrance of the martial arts arena, a figure appeared at some point.
It was a woman.
She wore a simple white dress, without any makeup, yet her stunning beauty was hard to conceal. Her skin was as white as jade, as if carved from the finest white jade. Her long black hair flowed freely over her shoulders.
She stood there quietly, seemingly isolated from the clamor of the surrounding crowd. Her appearance instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the martial arts arena.
It wasn't because of her beauty - although she was breathtakingly beautiful.
It was because of the vague, yet omnipresent aura that emanated from her. It was a kind of... unfathomable, overwhelming pressure like a deep abyss and a towering mountain!
Although she hadn't intentionally released her aura, everyone felt as if a huge rock had been placed on their hearts, making breathing difficult. The disciples with lower cultivation levels were especially pale, and they involuntarily took a few steps back.
"Who...who is this girl?"
"What a strong aura! Who is she? How come I've never seen her before?"
"She...she seems to be coming for the martial arts arena?"
The audience immediately began to talk, filled with surprise and uncertainty.
On the high platform, the expressions of the sect leader and several elders grew solemn. They couldn't even fathom the cultivation level of this suddenly appearing woman! There were only two possibilities: one, her cultivation level far surpassed theirs, reaching a realm beyond their comprehension; the other, she possessed some kind of peerless treasure that could conceal her cultivation level.
No matter which one it is, it is definitely not a good thing!
Mo Chen looked at the figure, his pupils suddenly shrank, the smile on his face froze instantly, and an inexplicable chill rose from the bottom of his heart.
This figure... looks so familiar!
Especially those eyes!
Those eyes were calm, yet seemed to contain endless coldness and indifference, looking at him indifferently.
That look was so similar... so similar to Lin Wei, who was killed by him at the foot of the cliff!
impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Mo Chen shook his head violently, trying to dispel this absurd thought. Lin Wei was already dead! He had pierced her throat with his poisoned finger sword, leaving no trace of her body! How could she still be alive? He must have seen it wrong! It had to be!
He took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and looked at the woman again.
The woman seemed to feel his gaze, and a cold arc appeared on the corner of her mouth. Then, she took a step forward and slowly walked towards the center of the martial arts field.
Her pace wasn't fast, perhaps even very slow, but each step she took seemed to touch everyone's heart. The entire arena was instantly silent, with only the gentle sound of her footsteps echoing.
Wherever she passed, the disciples subconsciously made way for her, as if they dared not stand in her way.
Her target was clear from the beginning - the high-spirited Mo Chen in the center of the martial arts arena!
2. Resurrection from the dead
"stop!"
A loud shout rang out.
An inner sect disciple, responsible for maintaining order, bravely stepped forward and blocked the woman's path. Although he felt a bit suffocated by her aura, he was obliged to speak out, "Young lady, today is the promotion ceremony for my Qinglan Sect Senior Brother Mo Chen. No outsiders are allowed..."
Before he could finish his words, he felt an invisible force pressing towards him.
"puff!"
The inner sect disciple didn't even have time to scream before he flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, blood spurting from his mouth. He fell heavily to the edge of the training ground, his life or death unknown.
one move!
Just a glance and a casual release of aura were enough to severely injure an inner disciple at the peak of the Earth Realm!
The whole place was in an uproar!
On the high platform, the sect leader suddenly stood up, his face becoming extremely grim. "Who are you? Why did you break into my Qinglan Sect for no reason and injure my disciples?"
The woman ignored the Sect Master's questioning and continued to walk towards Mo Chen step by step. Her eyes never left Mo Chen.
Mo Chen's face had turned as pale as paper, and his body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.
As the woman got closer, the familiar feeling became stronger and stronger, and the fear from the depths of his soul overwhelmed him like a tide.
Especially the majestic and vast aura emanating from the woman made him feel as small as an ant!
The peak of heavenly realm!
He actually felt from this woman the terrifying pressure of the peak of the heavenly realm that only existed in legends!
How is this possible! How could he be at the peak of the Heavenly Realm?
Mo Chen's heart was beating wildly, almost jumping out of his chest.
Although there is only a fine line between the great perfection of the Heavenly Realm and the peak of the Heavenly Realm, there is a huge gap!
That's a qualitative leap! A true world-shaking difference! A world of difference!
This is no longer a simple difference in realm, but like a baby facing a tiger, or an ant facing a dragon!
In the face of the absolute gap in realm, his newly achieved heavenly realm cultivation is simply a joke!
"You... who are you?!" Mo Chen's voice trembled uncontrollably and was filled with fear.
The woman finally walked to a place less than ten feet away from Mo Chen and stopped.
She raised her head and looked at Mo Chen with cold eyes. She opened her red lips and uttered a few words.
The sound was as cold as the collision of jade, yet it had a heart-pounding penetrating power that clearly spread to every corner of the training ground.
"Mo Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you...doing well?"
boom!
Hearing this voice, Mo Chen was struck by lightning and his mind went blank!
This voice! This tone!
is her! It's really her!
Lin Wei! The Lin Wei he had killed with his own hands actually came back!
"No... Impossible! You're clearly dead! I saw you with my own eyes..." Mo Chen's words were incoherent, his face filled with extreme fear and disbelief. "I pierced your throat with my own hands! How could you still be alive?!"
"Dead?" Lin Wei smiled softly, her smile cold and strange. "Thanks to you, I did die once. However, the King of Hell said that I haven't been avenged yet, so he won't take me."
Her eyes swept over Mo Chen as if she were looking at a dead person: "So, I'm back. Back... to take your life!"
