Chapter 183 Those Forgotten Memories
Chapter 183 Those Forgotten Memories
The formation continued to shrink, leaving less and less room to move. Within this limited space, the white stone kept crashing into the same spot. As the formation shrank, it emitted bursts of white light. Each time it came into contact with the formation, it was able to dissolve a small amount of energy from it.
"His Majesty--"
Hearing the commotion, many gods are rushing towards this place, and some who are nearby have already arrived at the Mi Luo Palace where the Lingxiao Palace is located.
"Get out of my way!"
Concentrating entirely on controlling the formation, the Jade Emperor was already finding it somewhat difficult, let alone now that he was distracted by dismissing his subordinates. The light on the formation began to flicker erratically, so the Jade Emperor quickly regained his focus and returned to the palace with all his might.
Yue Sheng remained seated at his desk, a calligraphy brush in his hand, a half-finished painting lying on the table. He had paused his work temporarily upon hearing the commotion from the Lingxiao Palace.
Yue Sheng was somewhat worried, but her duty was to guard the Samsara Palace and she couldn't leave. She could only pray secretly that nothing bad would happen.
Suddenly, a commotion came from outside the hall. Yue Sheng looked over and saw Laozi riding a blue ox, hurrying in.
"Laojun, what's going on?"
Yuesheng quickly went to greet him.
"I've come to see Yu Liu."
Laozi hurried past Yue Sheng and headed directly towards the inner hall of the Samsara Palace, where the true form of Yu Liu was displayed.
A sudden unease rose in Yue Sheng's heart. She had not sensed anything wrong with Yu Liu's true form. Could it be that something had happened to Yu Liu without her knowledge?
Thinking this, she quickly followed behind Laozi.
The inner hall of the Samsara Palace is not large, and it maintains the same empty style as the outer hall. In the simple hall, the white jade bed on which Yu Liu's body is placed is very eye-catching.
The wishing platform stood quietly on top, and on the star map between the eight pillars, all the stars lit up, illuminating a dazzling silver light.
"What... what's going on?" Yue Sheng was surprised. "I didn't feel anything just now."
Logically speaking, as the person who guards the Samsara Palace, Yue Sheng should be able to sense everything that is happening inside the Samsara Palace at any time, but she is completely unaware of Yu Liu's current changes!
"……really."
Laozi did not answer Yuesheng. He sighed softly, his eyes filled with unspeakable emotions.
"Laojun, what happened to Yuliu?" Yuesheng was unsure of what was going on with Yuliu, so he cautiously asked Taishang Laojun, who was clearly in a bad mood.
"...Yes, but it's not necessarily a bad thing." Laozi paused for a moment, subconsciously stroking his long beard. "After all, the seal itself couldn't last long, so it's good that it's broken now."
Lao Jun muttered to himself in a low voice. Yue Sheng caught a few words, but he didn't understand what he was saying at all.
"Laojun, if something happens to Yuliu, should I go and bring her back?"
"No need, Xiao Liu'er is coming back soon, you... you'd better not cause any more trouble."
Yue Sheng didn't know much about these things. Lao Jun hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to reveal some information.
"Little Willow?" Yue Sheng was a little confused. Little Willow was back, but what did that have to do with Yu Liu? However, the name Little Willow sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
"Laojun, is the little willow you're talking about the one who's rumored to be by Taiming Shenjun's side... the little fool?"
Yue Sheng didn't say those last few words. She had heard many rumors about Xiao Liu'er. Legend had it that Xiao Liu'er was once a benefactor of the Tai Ming God, and that the Tai Ming God's good fortune was all thanks to her. Some even said that she and the Tai Ming God had a destined marriage. However, none of these were accepted by the people of the God Realm. Many who secretly loved the Tai Ming God preferred to believe that Xiao Liu'er was actually a mentally challenged girl whom the Tai Ming God took in out of pity. It was said that many demons in the God Realm had bullied her because they were jealous of her being by the Tai Ming God's side. Later, when the Tai Ming God found out about this, Xiao Liu'er never appeared in public again. At that time, Yue Sheng was still by Ying Qing's side, and her heart and eyes were full of Ying Qing. She really hadn't paid any attention to Xiao Liu'er.
It seems that from that time onward, news about Xiao Liu'er became less and less frequent, and eventually disappeared.
Although Yue Sheng didn't say the last few words, Taishang Laojun knew they weren't good words. Thinking of how the people of the God Realm had once evaluated Xiao Liu'er, Taishang Laojun shook his head slightly and didn't intend to say more about this topic.
"...It's her."
Lao Jun said in a low voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground began to shake violently again, the entire hall trembled, and even the divine power floating in the air was stirred into chaos.
"boom--"
A tremendous sound came from the Lingxiao Palace, accompanied by a sudden explosion of white light. The light swept outwards in a ring from the Lingxiao Palace, turning everything it touched into dust.
Fortunately, the Lingxiao Palace is located in the Miro Palace, which is the highest place in the thirty-three heavens of the God Realm, and the Lingxiao Palace is the highest in the Miro Palace. The white light wave impacted horizontally and did not hit any buildings, but only disturbed the flow of divine power in the air.
"Laojun, ...aren't you going to help?"
Seeing that Laozi had only turned his gaze towards the Lingxiao Palace, Yuesheng hesitated and asked.
"No need. Whether I help or not, the outcome won't change."
After saying this, Laozi left the Samsara Palace.
Yue Sheng scratched his hair, completely failing to understand what Lao Jun was saying.
……
"Pfft—cough cough cough!!"
A dull pain shot through his chest, and the Jade Emperor finally couldn't hold on any longer. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of golden blood, his whole body panting rapidly, his meridians throbbing with needle-like pain.
Just now, he drained all the magical power from his body.
"Cough..." He put his hand to his lips, barely suppressing the blood rising to his throat. The light of the array had become so weak that it was almost invisible, while the white stone inside was shining brighter and brighter.
The Jade Emperor gave a bitter laugh, his voice filled with helplessness: "...There's nothing I can do, you loudmouth. I've done my best..."
"You should take care of your own wife..."
With that exclamation, he could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground. He barely mustered his strength, began to form hand seals, and started trying to restore the magical power within his body.
This means that we have completely given up.
The great formation struggled for a moment before being completely broken by the white stone. Once freed, the stone swayed back and forth as if it were happy. Then, the light on its body began to flicker. After a few breaths, it seemed to know the direction and drew a long white line across the sky of the divine realm before disappearing into the distance.
