CH 263

Immortal Ye Chuan’s Immortal Palace was located at the top of the mountain, soaring straight up to the clouds. It was surrounded by white clouds, looking like a fairyland.

“So, the soul I met in the mid-level plane is only a part of you?” Bai Lixin asked with a frown as he sat in a soft slump.

“A human being has three souls. Only when all souls are intact and undamaged can a person be considered a complete human being. However, the soul can also be divided. One can still live with one only soul, although the abilities will be reduced and one’s mind and consciousness will be damaged. ” Immortal Ye Chuan smiled gently and pushed some nectar tea to Bai Lixin. “Please take it. I collect the first drop of nectar every morning for a total of 79 days before I can brew such a cup of tea. ”

Bai Lixin smiled and lifted the cup of tea. He drank it down in one go and tossed the cup onto the tea table. ” Immortal Ye Chuan still has the leisure to collect the first drop of nectar every morning. So he must have a sure way to save my master.”

Ye Chuan laughed, “I am not related to your master, so why should I spend so much time to think of a countermeasure? I am telling you this not because your master is a close friend of my other soul, but because I felt obligated.”

“You felt obligated to tell me? Why? You and I are helping each other in a win-win situation. We should help out each other more.” Bai Lixin thought of Feng Baixiao’s guidance and the many times he had helped him in the demon mystic realm and said seriously.

Immortal Ye Chuan frowned gently, “If that’s the case, why do you pressure me?”

Bai Lixin’s body stiffened and he was at a loss for words.

Yes, whether Ye Chuan/Feng Baixiao was a close friend, saving Xuanyuan was a matter of love and saving him was not a matter of duty. Why should he force him to save Xuanyuan instead of him or in conjunction with him? They are just partners who got together for a while.

Just ……

Bai Lixin bit his lip. “I just thought that the friendship between you and I is more than just that…Immortal Ye Chuan, I am sorry for having offended you. ” He lowered his head, looking slightly forlorn.

The cold-hearted Ye Chuan immortal saw Bai Lixin like this, and his heart felt like it had been hit hard by a wooden pestle. When he had absorbed his consciousness in Feng Baixiao, he had gradually forgotten all the unnecessary memories, but he was surprised to find that the memories of Bai Lixin were imprinted in his soul.

He fell to the Immortal Elemental Upper Realm hundreds of thousand years ago and his soul had been damaged, so he entered a stillborn fetus to resurrect back to life. Although he was alive, he could not recall some things.

Not only that, he probed himself and found that he only had two souls left.

But even so, there was a voice in the back of his mind telling him.

Find the divine three-bladed halberd weapon, and intercept the ninety-nine lightning head. Use the demon king’s soul to refine the artefact and the divine blood to reconstruct your body.

Go to the Immortal realm by stepping through the and kill the soul of Lian Yu and scatter it.

That voice has haunted him for over a hundred thousand years, until now.

He had finally reached the final step in his calculations to realize those paragraphs.

Although his memories of the Immortal Realm are faint, Ye Chuan vaguely remembers his predecessor stealing the only Iris from the Immortal Realm and sealing it in his consciousness to accompany him down to the Upper Elemental Immortal Realm.

He was born with a cold heart. He was not affected by emotions, nor was he ever compelled by the human heart. Thus, he did not even have any heart demons in his cultivation journey and entered the seventh level of the Salvation stage in just a few thousand years. Since then, he has been planning how to obtain the three-bladed halberd, the Nine-Nine tribulation Lightning head, the Demon King, and the divine Blood from the lower worlds.

It is conceivable that the divine blood was naturally a reference to the Iris, which had been sealed in his soul. However, he found that the flower would show signs of withering if he moved it even little.

And at the same time, he discovered that the whereabouts of the Demon king were in the lower planes.

Over the past hundred thousand years, he had taken on so many disguises that he could not even remember them.

His consciousness went into the void and broke through time and space to search in the lower planes.

These three planes – low, medium, and high – naturally have their own rules. If a cultivator from a higher plane tries to go to the medium plane, he will be punished by the rules. Power is an absolute factor, just like a cultivator who has ascended to the immortal world cannot descend because of the power of the rules.

So he practiced a forbidden technique. He stripped a part of his already broken soul, and went to the intermediate plane intending to capture the Demon King.

The plan was successful, as the disembodied soul lost most of its power and managed to sneak into the lower plane through a loophole in the rules. He went back 3,000 years before the Demons attacked the cultivation world and took over a dead fetus’ body.

He remained there and achieved great success in cultivation, and the Demons attacked three thousand years later.

However, what he didn’t expect was that the demons would be so fierce. With 3,000 years of preparation, he was still unsure of whether he could subdue the Demon King. So he used his 3,000 years of cultivation to seal all the demons, especially the demon king.

As he had exhausted his power, he soon fell.

That was his first life.

The soul returned to his body, which proved that this method worked.

For Ye Chuan, time became very disordered. He could step through the void and go to the future, or the past. In chronological order, the capture of the demon king would have taken place thousands of years after he got the tribulation’s lightning head, but in Ye Chuan’s case, it was his first life.

During the process of capturing the Demon King in his first life, Ye Chuan was surprised to discover that there was a tribulation lightning head in that intermediate plane, but it would only appear when he had reached the great perfection of the Golden Elixir stage and was about to ascend to the higher plane.

So Ye Chuan, he stripped his soul again, went to the past in the lower plane, and set up a gate in the area where he would seal the Demon King thousands of years later. He then spent 5,000 years cultivating to reach grand perfection of the Golden Elixir stage and used his body as a guide to channel a wisp of the tribulation thunderbolt into his specially crafted magic weapon.

However, that was all he could do in that life. He used his body to channel the thunderbolts, and as a result, his body was damaged. So his soul returned to his body on ascending to the Upper Elemental Immortal Realm.

Two items had been successfully captured, and all that remained to be recovered was the Three Blade Halberd, and the divine blood from the Iris.

During this time, he had become more skilled in the soul technique. He no longer confined himself to stripping one soul. In search of the three-bladed halberd, he forcibly divided his remaining two souls into thousands and scattered them across thousands of worlds.

However, he searched for thousands of years but never found it.

Until suddenly, a young man called Feng Baixiao triggered a formation and entered an ancient, secret realm where he felt the aura of the Three Bladed Halberd sealed by a strange formation in the cave. However, although the young man entered the cave, he did not find the three-bladed halberd but took away another magic weapon.

Ye Chuan gathered his scattered soul parts and restored his two souls. He then once again stripped off one part before entering the mid-level plane again.

However, no matter what identity he used or what cultivation level he used to enter this cave, he was always rejected by the formation. In the meantime, he would enter the mystic realm of the Demon clan, which opened once every ten years, to unseal the Demon king bit by bit, in preparation for the recovery of the Demon King.

After many attempts, his soul was damaged when he was ejected from the formation on the last occasion.

The Patriarch of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect by then had a grudge against him and created the Ice and Lightning punishment for him. This inspired him to think of a way to retrieve the 99 tribulation lightning head he had stored. The only problem was that the Patriarch was not yet strong enough to master the tribulation lightning head. So he used a normal thunderbolt and expelled himself from the sect.

He was dying by the time he was thrown out of the sect. Since he was unable to get the Three-Bladed Halberd or the tribulation Lightning head in that life, it was a waste. However, just as he was about to leave that world, the Iris that had been lodged in his consciousness for so long, perhaps because of its sympathy for him, broke through the seal and appeared in front of him. It used its juice to save him.

Xuanyuan Yixiao witnessed the Iris’ rescue in passing, and it was not long before word spread around the world that he had a divine object from the Immortal realm – the Iris – and that his cultivation had increased so much that no one could beat him.

The Iris broke through the seal and its flowers started blooming.

Ye Chuan naturally gave up on the idea returning to the higher plane. Since the Iris was willing to help him with its juice, he was also willing to feed it with blood. He fed it for thousands of years, and that was when Feng Baixiao, the youth he saw stepping into the ancient secret realm, was born.

When the Iris was about to blossom, someone in the heavens finally set their eyes on it.

On that day, he had not yet crossed the tribulation when a powerful thunderstorm descended from the sky, each of its 91 thunderbolts intended to kill him. Although his cultivation had improved over the past thousands of years, his mind was not focused on this, and his cultivation was not as good as it had been in his legendary lives. Fortunately, the Iris had saved him, and his physical body was extremely strong.

Just as one of the lightning strikes fell, a thought came to his mind. How can a rabbit have only one cave?

He had tried dozens of times to get across the formation and failed, but why had the boy managed to do it once?

Could it be that the boy was the key?

He then got an idea. He allowed himself to be struck by a lightning bolt, and his soul was stripped from his body. He flew to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, where he successfully took over Feng Baixiao, a young man who was still in seclusion and loved by the heavens.

What was even more interesting was that he met the blood Iris, which he had raised for thousand years and had now taken human form.

Perhaps it was because he had raised it for thousands of years or because of something else, but he always felt close to the Iris for no reason at all. He could not help but help him from time to time.

Even though the memories of that soul had been stripped away after reuniting, he could not help but feel compassion when he learned that something had happened to his master.
