2467 Ren Yuan Jie

"Sister Ke'er, why don't you tell Brother Duan what happened?" Feng Tian Wu said. Initially, she was about to respond to Duan Ling Tian but discovered Ke'er was about to speak as well. For this reason, she decided to let Ke'er recount what happened.

"It's the same no matter who tells the story." Ke'er shook her head with a faint smile on her face. After a moment, she turned to look at Duan Ling Tian and recounted everything that happened in the location of the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial.

Duan Ling Tian nodded. "So all of you met Su Li in the location of the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial?"

Ke'er glanced at Gan Ru Yan before she said, "Sister met Su Li before she entered the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone."

Upon hearing this, Duan Ling Tian turned to look at Gan Ru Yan.

However, before Duan Ling Tian could speak, Ke'er spoke up again, "Brother Tian, I really didn't enter the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone with my sister. In fact, I entered after you. As for my sister, she only entered the secret zone after she had broken through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage." She decided to explain this matter as quickly as she could since she did not want her sister to be blamed for something she did not do.

"What?! Y-you entered after me?!" Duan Ling Tian was thoroughly shocked by Ke'er's words. He was stunned speechless by this revelation. He did not expect Ke'er would follow him here. Was this still the gentle Ke'er he knew?

After Duan Ling Tian regained his senses, his expression was solemn as he said in a low voice, "Ke'er, do you know how dangerous this place is? In the beginning, we didn't even know this place is the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. We thought it's merely the Sword Saint Secret Zone that Senior Feng Qing Yang left behind. Didn't you hear when Senior Uncle Prophet said that those whose cultivation base aren't at or above the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage shouldn't enter this place? Why did you act so recklessly?"

Although Duan Ling Tian sounded as though he was scolding Ke'er, the fear and concern in the depths of his eyes betrayed his true feelings. He felt paralyzed with fear just imagining what could have happened to Ke'er in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone.

At some point, Han Xue Nai had moved next to Duan Ling Tian. She said with pleading eyes, "Brother Ling Tian, Sister Ke'er is not as weak as you think she is. Do you remember what I told you before? You still don't believe me?" In fact, not long after she met Duan Ling Tian in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, she had told him that Ke'er had entered the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone as well. She even told him that Ke'er had gotten really strong and was not any weaker than the successor of the Prophet Progeny, Mu Yi Yi. However, he did not believe her words at that time and there was nothing she could do to convince him otherwise. If the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone had allowed them to swear on the lightning penalty oath, she would have done so to prove the veracity of words. For this reason, she was really happy to see Ke'er. She could finally prove to Duan Ling Tian that she was not lying.

Upon hearing Han Xue Nai's words, he recalled what she had told him previously. However, at that time, he had completely disregarded her words. How could he not doubt Han Xue Nai's words? Ke'er was his wife after all. For the past few years, they had been together all the time. Was there anyone who knew her better than he did? How could he believe that his wife was stronger than Mu Yi Yi? How was that possible?

However, the truth was currently laid bare before Duan Ling Tian. He finally realized Han Xue Nai was not lying to him. He asked, "Ke'er, are… are you really stronger than junior sister Yi Yi?" He was still feeling slightly skeptical. He found it hard to believe that Ke'er who was weaker than Gan Ru Yan previously had become even stronger than Mu Yi Yi overnight. Moreover, Mu Yi Yi's strength was only second to him among the members of the Seven Absolutes Sect.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's question, Mu Yi Yi could not help but smile bitterly. Her senior sister-in-law was truly slightly stronger than her. She was also still shocked when she recalled the strength Ke'er had demonstrated. If she did not witness it personally, she would have a hard time believing that the wife of the Sect Leader of Seven Absolutes Sect was not just a beauty, but she was extremely strong as well. She might even be stronger than her senior brother.

"Yes," Ke'er replied with a nod to Duan Ling Tian's question. She did not elaborate on her answer. After all, she had always been taciturn and liked to keep a low profile.

Upon hearing Ke'er's answer, Duan Ling Tian smiled apologetically and said to Gan Ru Yan, "I'm sorry I misunderstood you. I was overly anxious earlier when I saw Ke'er that it clouded my judgment. I thought you had brought her in here."

Gan Ru Yan nodded understandingly. However, Duan Ling Tian failed to see the pain and jealousy hidden in the depths of her eyes.

After apologizing to Gan Ru Yan, Duan Ling Tian instantly turned to Ke'er and asked bluntly, "Ke'er, how did your strength improve so quickly to the point you even surpassed junior sister Yi Yi?" He was truly curious and confused. Ke'er was his wife, there should be no secrets between them. He suddenly realized he could no longer see through his wife like he used to.

"It's related to my past life," Ke'er said calmly, it seemed like she had expected Duan Ling Tian to ask her about this. She continued to say, "Over the past few years, fragments of memories had been appearing in my mind… After piecing them together, I realized it's memories from my past life. At that time, I discovered as I piece my memories together, my soul would get stronger as well. As a result, my cultivation base began to rise rapidly."

Although Ke'er revealed to Duan Ling Tian the reason for her drastic improvement, she bypassed the gruesome details. She left out the painful process she had to endure to obtain her strength and how she had to burn her soul to increase her strength. She did not want Duan Ling Tian to worry.

"I see," Duan Ling Tian said. He did not doubt Ke'er's words. After all, he also knew she was the reincarnation of a goddess. After a moment, as though he just recalled something, he said, "Ke'er, based on your words, you should've regained most of your memories from your past life. Did it affect your memories from this life? I don't want you to do this anymore…" He sounded stern when he reached the end of his sentence. He knew Ke'er desperately improved her strength because she wanted to be of help to him. However, if the price was her losing her current memories, he did not want her to become stronger.

"Brother Tian, don't worry. I'm fine," Ke'er said with a smile, "If there's such a side effect, I wouldn't have done it. After all, how can I bear forgetting you and Si Ling? Both of you are the most important people in my life. I wouldn't risk it just to improve my cultivation base."

Duan Ling Tian was moved by Ke'er's words, and he also stopped worrying after she said there were no side effects. Although he still wanted to speak about this matter in detail, he knew now was not a good time. Therefore, he shifted the topic back to Su Li. "Ke'er, what happened to Su Li? If I'm not mistaken that lady's not from the Saint Province Realm. This means Su Li only met her in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. How did he become a sword slave?" He was puzzled.

Ke'er replied, "It's because she helped Su Li rein in his devilish urges. When we met him here, he had already become the sword slave of the white-clad girl, Ren Yuan Jie. I offered to free him from her, but he rejected my offer." A hint of helplessness could be heard in her voice when she spoke. Although Ren Yuan Jie was considered strong among Eminent Celestials, she was still far weaker than Ke'er.

"Help Su Li suppress his devilish urges? What happened?" Duan Ling Tian felt even more confused.

Ke'er continued to explain what happened, and Duan Ling Tian finally learned about what Su Li had gone through in the past years.
