Chapter 825: Protecting the World for My Husband's Return
“Have you thought it through?”
“Dad, I have thought it through.”
Looking at the endless Yellow Springs and witnessing the scene of struggling dead souls, Father Qin’s eyes were filled with worry.
After learning the ins and outs of the matter, his first reaction was naturally to stop it. But like father, like son, the other party had already contacted the Ghost Lord to come here, so he must have been prepared.
Qin Feng’s soul radiated a holy light akin to the brilliance of the moon in the surging Yellow Springs.
That was the predecessor, the Seven-Colored Horned White Deer, protecting his soul with the Moonlight Dao.
Otherwise, even though his soul far surpassed that of the average Literature Saint Dao Lineage, he wouldn’t be able to stay in the Yellow Springs for a full year.
The Ghost Lord glanced over, her expression was calm but with a hint of complexity in her eyes.
“I can use my supreme power to assist you in entering the Yellow Springs, allowing you to experience countless lifetimes. However, you should be well aware of the dangers of this method.”
“What you will face is not only the tearing of the Yellow Springs and the torment of the souls, but also the need to uphold your original intentions in the endless cycle of reincarnation.”“Otherwise, you will sink into it, trapped in an inexistent illusion world, unable to extricate yourself, and your consciousness will never awaken. Your soul will be worn away, and your body will decay, then completely disappear from the Three Realms!”
Qin Feng exhaled and nodded slightly. “I know.”
He had long learned about these things from the leader of the Heaven Burial Organization. He came here with great determination and courage.
The Ghost Lord’s expression softened at his words and self-mockingly said, “The calamity of the Three Realms should have been borne by us old ones. But unexpectedly, the last hope is to be placed on the shoulders of a little boy like you.”
“Well, before that thing appears, you can rest assured. The Three Realms will remain safe. As for after that, I also want to see how powerful the primal essence Heavenly Dao really is.”
“I’m going now,” Qin Feng chuckled softly. It was obviously a situation equivalent to going to death, but he seemed free and comfortable.
With a leap, no water splashed in the Yellow Springs; only the souls’ shrieks grew more piercing.
A ray of Buddhist light came from an unknown source and entered the Yellow Springs, like a golden bell, protecting Qin Feng’s soul and resisting the attacks of the souls.
“The power of the Buddhas’ great vows,” the Ghost Lord murmured to herself, turning her head to look at the direction from which the Buddhist light came, it was from the crack between the Netherworld Realm and the Broken Realm.
At the same time, in the southern extreme realm, outside the darkness, countless Buddha statues shattered into pieces, and their consciousness completely dissipated in the three realms.
Only a gentle Buddhist voice echoed, “If I don’t go to hell, who will?”
At the bottom level of the Ninefold Prison, a pair of golden eyes lit up, looking up at the sky. In His eyes, the Three Realms were like a sea of stars, and the future was just a snap of His fingers.
However, inexplicably, a ripple spread out in the sea of stars, calm and seemingly negligible.
“Variable?” There was a hint of indifference in His tone, followed by a disdainful chuckle.
“There’s nothing more despairing than waiting for death. If the final moments are going to be plain and boring, why not have some fun?”
As his words fell, the sea of stars began to churn, growing increasingly turbulent.
Almost simultaneously, the top experts above the third tier in the Three Realms seemed to have noticed the anomaly.
But when they looked up, apart from the crack in the shattered world, everything remained unchanged.
Time passed quickly. Liu Jianli and the others took turns accompanying Qin Feng’s physical body, taking care of him meticulously, ensuring that nothing unexpected would happen.
Because they knew that if their husband’s body was destroyed and his soul couldn’t return, he would undoubtedly perish.
Anya carefully wiped Qin Feng’s face with a damp, warm towel, her eyes filled with concern.
“Even if the soul is separated from the body, there is still a connection. During this time, my husband has been frowning more and more, and his expression has become increasingly unpleasant. Could it be that something happened to his soul in the Yellow Springs?”
Cang Feilan replied, “I asked the ancestors and learned some things about the Netherworld Realm and the Yellow Springs.”
“In the Netherworld Realm, the laws of heaven and earth have gone awry, and the path of reincarnation has been closed off, so countless souls have accumulated in the Yellow Springs.”
“The resentment accumulated there is too strong. Even if my husband’s soul is protected by an outsider, he will still be affected while experiencing the insights of countless lifetimes. If he develops inner demons…”
Her voice trailed off, and she dared not continue.
“What if he develops inner demons?” Liu Jianli entered the room and asked.
A hint of reluctance flashed in Cang Feilan’s pale blue eyes. “My husband will be trapped in the illusion and his soul will never be able to return.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent, and even the sound of breathing seemed so harsh.
On the side, Lan Ningshuang was arranging the tea set. She glanced at her master, her eyes full of worry, but she said with relief, “Young Master, he, good people have their own destiny. He will be fine.”
“Hmm.” Liu Jianli approached, gently stroking Qin Feng’s cheek with her right hand and tidying the strands of hair on his forehead.
Lan Ningshuang asked again, “Miss, what’s the situation at the Liu Mansion?”
Liu Jianli’s movements paused slightly, and her voice sounded somewhat weary. “Since a month ago, there has been a sudden change in The Great Qian’s four domains simultaneously.”
“The deceased have turned into corpse ghosts and are infecting others at an alarming rate. Many cities have already fallen. Emperor Ming ordered the Imperial Army to support the outer regions, intending to eliminate the corpse ghosts completely. My father’s Divine Marquis Army is also involved.”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone turned extremely grim.
The Three Realms did not tolerate the existence of corpse ghosts, which were tainted with worldly grudges between the living and the dead. In the past, the appearance of a single corpse ghost could cause an entire region to tremble with fear, but now, the outbreak of a corpse ghost disaster in all four realms at once?
Cang Feilan thought of that time in the past. If she hadn’t sacrificed the Dragon Bead, her husband would have died…
“Could this be a sign?” Lan Ningshuang couldn’t help but ask.
Anya’s expression was complex. “According to my divinations, the future is shrouded in black mist, until it is covered in blood a year later. In between, sporadic images show corpses strewn everywhere, with skeletal remains everywhere.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Jianli spoke, “Ningshuang, get ready the sword box, and we’ll leave Imperial City.”
The others were stunned.
“What is Miss planning to do?” Lan Ningshuang asked in confusion.
“For the sake of this world, my husband is risking his life for an uncertain future. As his wife, I must at least protect the world for him before his return.”
“I’m going with Sister Jianli.” Cang Feilan straightened up, but saw the other party shaking her head.
“Although there is Divine Guardian in Imperial City, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents. You and Anya must stay here to protect my husband’s body.”
Cang Feilan wanted to say something more, but when she met Liu Jianli’s eyes, she swallowed these words again, and finally she only had one sentence left: “Have a safe journey.”
Not long after, rumors spread outside Imperial City.
A woman in white as pure as snow would appear, accompanied by the roar of thunder and the murmuring of flowing water. Her sword was exceedingly sharp, and wherever she went, the corpse ghosts could not escape, saving countless civilians and soldiers.
