Chapter 1523 Chapter 1516: Fading Era, Liu (3)

The youth's words were forceful and unyielding, pushed to the brink by willpower and grit, and enough to move the mountains and oceans. Even the ambient mana was stirred into motion by each syllable as if resonating perfectly with an agreeing dance.

Liu Yinlan's hazy, muddled mind began to gain clarity. The situation dawned on her like trickling water into a lake, gradually refilling details that she had haphazardly forgotten. She was currently in the City of Endless meeting two youths who pa.s.sed the trials to become a True Destined Voyager; Liu Suyin had completed her task impeccably and brought the silver-eyed youth known as Wei Wuyin to the Endless Voyage Realm.

Liu Suyin stood to the side, eyeing the youth and subtly glancing at her with an unsteady glint. Her normally indifferent facial expression and demeanor showcased faint emotion as she observed the silver-eyed youth. This was the first time Liu Yinlan had ever seen Liu Suyin, who cultivated a type of emotionless Mental Incarnation to steady the Heart of Cultivation and propel her cultivation efforts forward, showing any type of emotion other than apathy.The youth's words were forceful and unyielding, pushed to the brink by willpower and grit, and enough to move the mountains and oceans.

She faintly recalled her amus.e.m.e.nt.

...Recalled?

She felt amus.e.m.e.nt at the unexpected sight. Especially since Liu Suyin had uncharacteristically been forgetful, not having Wei Wuyin bound by oaths prior to bringing him here. Despite that, she still gave Wei Wuyin complete information about the Void Voyage Sect, the Endless Voyage Realm, and the fundamental structure of its Destined, Seekers, and Oaths. It also contained the truth about the eighteen stellar regions often referred to as the Ancient Sealed Region by the outside world, the world cage that Wei Wuyin lived in.

Of course, there's a lot of information that was incorrectly or vaguely mentioned. For example, the existence of the Demonic Sovereign and its intent to destroy the Ancient Sealed Region by escaping was replaced by a Star-Devourer. While it was a half-truth, it wasn't the entire story. It informed the purpose of the Void Voyage Sect as the supreme protectors of the Ancient Sealed Region, and without them and the Destined and Seekers born here, the entire world was in jeopardy.

She had just earlier informed Wei Wuyin that he was a True Destined Voyager meant to take over as the head protector of his world, carrying all the qualifications to do so, only lacking the Envoys of the Three Ascended Sovereigns' approval and acceptance of the Endless Void Mirror's Spiritform, otherwise known as the Spirit, the Warden, and the Serpent-the habitually slumbering Void Wyrm.

Additionally, doing so would tether his fate and life to the Ancient Sealed Region. Should he fail to protect the integrity of the seal, his soul would be obliterated.

Then, he declared that he wouldn't agree to such outrageous limitations without first verifying that his life path could be further enhanced by this deal than originally possible, and if she or they were unable to prove it, he would rather die. Liu Suyin grew heated by his words and the lack of importance of his role, rightfully so given her upbringing, and this caused Liu Yinlan to feel both bitter warmth within her heart. Liu Suyin had failed to achieve True Destined Voyager status with all three of her chances, and she had been raised to take the position.

Unfortunately, even with the backing of a World Emperor like her with resources and cultivation methods from beyond the sealed region, it was an essential matter of talent and ability, and she, while having a good degree of both, fell short in the end by not qualifying to open the Endless Spatial Channel and receiving the baptism by the Law of s.p.a.ce. Her jealousy and outbursts of rage were expected.

"If you find it so great, then do it yourself. You, the heavens, h.e.l.l, or the G.o.ds themselves will never decide what MY destiny is!" Those words spoken by the silver-eyed youth were coldly directed at Liu Suyin and her Mental Incarnation that upheld her mental stability and emotionless visage crumbled like paper.

Normally, Liu Yinlan felt that she would have been more forceful given the rules. Since Wei Wuyin was refusing, his only fate would have been to be refined by the Endless Void Mirror or perish to their sworn oaths, the latter impossible now due to Liu Suyin's oversight.

However, seeing the glaring light of moving emotion in Liu Suyin, especially how her gaze looked at the unearthly handsome visage of the silver-eyed youth, including her own plans and considerations, she decided to agree to allow Liu Suyin to show him the 'worth' of the Endless Voyage Realm while she tested Ye Ziling for a potential replacement and think things through.

Because of the oath-swearing negligence by Liu Suyin, she had to maneuver the situation delicately to not ruin her chances at freedom while thoroughly checking every opportunity. Albeit she didn't have much hope for Ye Ziling, especially given past attempts, all showing equal or greater manifestations as her, and failing to cultivate the Endless Voyage of Converged Destiny Cultivation Method. The other two incidents ended in hectic, catastrophic failure and death.

"Liu Suyin will show you the Void Voyage Sect, and the benefits of cultivating here. You'll have twelve months to decide your destiny-to serve as the leading figure of supreme protectors of the Sealed Regions and protect countless lives or have it all end.

"Should you decide not to, Wandering Destined Ye will take your spot. She's received the blessing as well, and the only reason she's not a True Destined Voyager is that you're still alive."

"Huh?" Liu Yinlan felt her haziness clear up once more. What was up with her lately? She was currently looking through a handheld mirror, inspecting the events occurring in the City of Guardians. While her authority was greatly reduced there, she still had the means to inspect and observe the situation. She was following Wei Wuyin and Liu Suyin's journey to the City of Guardians.

She had just heard their conversation regarding Liu Suyin's heritage. Listening in, she was immersed in her memories. Liu Suyin had a high talent for spatial energies, suitable to cultivate a Spatial Soul as a Spirit of Cultivation, and was thus plucked from the Liu Clan that was reduced to rearing animals, tending to farms, and acts of dangerous mining to survive.

Liu Yinlan had raised her almost like she had her own daughters before having to leave them all those years ago, especially after she showed great promise. The only issue was that she was overly emotional, incredibly pa.s.sionate about things she considered important, and had tendencies to be impulsive. To remedy that issue, she obtained a Mental Incarnation capable of steadying the mind by emulating indifference and serenity. While it was a great sacrifice, it was also one Liu Suyin had been willing to make. She then became the perfectly reliable cultivator she was today.

Liu Yinlan could hear her sigh echoing in her memories as she heaved one...

She heard...she sighed with emotion as she listened in on their conversion and discussions on the principles of s.p.a.ce. She was shocked by how incredible Wei Wuyin's insights were on the topic, only validating her belief that he was truly in the position to replace her.

Wei Wuyin and Liu Suyin entered the City of Guardians, Sacred Library, and then the Voyage Academy of Myriad Transformation. The fiasco there caused her heart to pound and her eyes to glow brilliantly. Not only was Wei Wuyin an astonis.h.i.+ng cultivator, but despite not having an Alchemic Soul, he could rival the top talents of the Voyage Academy. His brilliance was endless.

While others might not be able to see the results of the private match, she was fully aware. Wei Wuyin had 'coincidentally' won by concocting a transcendent-quality product as if blessed by the heavens and fortune of luck. But she wasn't as easily fooled as Tian Xiaolu and felt his cunning within. In her eyes, he was vastly superior to Tian Xiaolu and was displaying this by purposely showcasing otherwise.

It was similar to how a student who got every question wrong on a multiple-choice test was an undisputed genius of the highest caliber because doing so required absolute confidence while knowing all the right answers beforehand.

His arrival in the Myriad Miles Library was even more upsetting and heavily verified her already existing suspicions as he offered countless good quality products to the library for access to the entire compendium of the library's available alchemical knowledge.

"The outside world's information is true it seems; he is incredibly talented in the Alchemic Dao. If he took the road of an Alchemic Soul cultivator, he might have matched the King of Everlore's feats one day. Hm. He has silver eyes..."

When she thought about the King of Everlore's gloriously resplendent rumored silver eyes, she felt that Wei Wuyin could be potentially connected to him by lineage. While, it wasn't entirely impossible, just highly unlikely since the King of Everlore was deemed to have been childless and parentless after leaving the Ancient Sealed Region all those years ago.

Unfortunately, every meeting she had with the King of Everlore, he was constantly exerting the Alchemic Stars, so besides rumors of his natural silver eyes, unlike the Myriad Monarch Sect and the Everlore Starfield's citizens that knew of him prior to his arrival, it was difficult to verify if his silver eyes were hereditary or a product of a cultivation method.

When Wei Wuyin, Cao Cuifen, and Liu Suyin eventually entered the 77th floor of the Myriad Transformation Academy's housing unit. She couldn't breach that privacy barrier without alerting those of the academy, so she hadn't-initially.

However, she felt Liu Suyin's life talisman start to fluctuate intensely. Curious and concerned, she stealthily peered into the room's events with a little more effort, bypa.s.sing and avoiding the installed security of the academy. She bore witness to a startling scene as Wei Wuyin and Cao Cuifen were involved pa.s.sionately. Even while just observing, she felt her body heat and her mind feel concerned for Cao Cuifen. Every thrust and lunge was impactful, s.h.i.+fting the air, and causing ripples to spread throughout her body.

Yet Cao Cuifen didn't seem remotely in pain, but her expression and eyes revealed something else entirely. It was something Liu Yinlan had long since forgotten, or perhaps...never experienced herself since birth till now. It was true ecstasy.

Liu Suyin seemed as dazed as she was and within a few hours of incredible scenes, Liu Suyin and Wei Wuyin interlocked lips. Without warning, Wei Wuyin skillfully taught her what it meant to enjoy being born as a woman as moans, shouts, and begging cries filled that room. Liu Suyin's cultivation of her Mental Incarnation had crumbled as her heart blasted with her emotions.

Liu Yinlan knew that she should have looked away, but she found her body moving on its own, and her perfectly manicured hand already beneath her robes. "So...big...hrnn~" Her eyes grew dazed as she imagined Liu Suyin's salivating and full mouth and Cao Cuifen's pink, trimmed, and bushy cave being invaded by a gargantuan beast as her own.

Wei Wuyin was coldly observing as Liu Yinlan's body heated up in midair. She exuded powerful pheromones while under his illusion. However, he was entirely unaffected by her beautifully rosy complexion and alluringly stimulating movements. Up to this point, he was refres.h.i.+ng her memory with real events, learning things he hadn't before while readying her mind to act as if she was experiencing it herself.

No wonder he felt like he was in constant danger; he was under constant surveillance by Liu Yinlan.

However, now was the time for the scenario to change.

The two World Emperors only quietly watched, baffled by how mysteriously powerful Wei Wuyin was. Zhangjie Wushu could tell Liu Yinlan was placed under a powerful trance, but it didn't seem to be a Spiritual Spell that she recognized. Meanwhile, Hue Meifang was idly observing the world outside after Wei Wuyin removed the barrier.

She found the Twin Beacon Territory and sensed how Su Nianzu and Jia Yang's auras were present and healthy, albeit a little worn out, and she was deeply relieved. Wei Wuyin hadn't lied, so Tian Taizong was most certainly dealt with. Since that was the case, she decided to just wait here and see what happened to Liu Yinlan.

-----

"I know this isn't the right time, and I wish I had longer to stay, to figure out what you want, to talk about your feelings. I truly do, but I can't.

"I wanted to ask you so many questions, but I can't wait any longer."

"We'll meet again."

Liu Yinlan hadn't slept in a long, long time. However, she had inadvertently felt sleepy after her self-cultivation...

She sensed the strange spatial fluctuations through her handheld mirror and was immediately awakened by the commotion. Liu Yinlan hurriedly executed her Endless Void Mirror rights and tapped into its powers. Normally, she wouldn't dare to casually do so without first investigating the situation, but a sense of urgency swelled within her.

Within a few short moments, Wei Wuyin was found. Moreover, she sealed him in his position, preventing any type of Spatial s.h.i.+fting or Void Movement! With a wave of her hand, she clothed herself and cleaned herself with a surge of cleansing water! She left immediately.

Whoos.h.!.+

She was going to the City of Guardians!
