The God Realm
68. Big Secret

Xu Tian and Ancestor Ling Zhengji continued to step foot into the residence of the higher-ups of the Ling Clan.

Until not too long later, they arrived at the residence of Ancestor Ling Zhengji.

" We're going to the secret place of the Ling Clan." Ancestor Ling Zhengji said.

Xu Tian simply nodded his head and continued to follow Ancestor Ling Zhengji.

Ling Zhengji moved his hand to open the formation set up in front of the room he was in.

Not long after, a door appeared under the floor.

Ling Zhengji immediately lifted the door up, until now he saw a staircase leading to the basement.

Ancestor Ling Zhengji looked at Xu Tian, then stepped foot down the steps.

Xu Tian frowned as he felt a strange aura suddenly appear.

" You'll find out later," Ancestor Ling Zhengji who saw Xu Tian's face change.

The two of them, finally arrived at the basement. Seen the place around him filled with a variety of weapons that hung on the walls of the room.

" All of the weapons you see, are weapons that the Ancestors obtained earlier, while on an adventure in the world of gods." Clearly Ancestor Ling Zhengji, who then walked towards a sizable jade slip emitted a white aura.

Xu Tian was extremely shocked as he felt an extremely powerful spirit aura on that piece of jade.

" Do you feel it?"

" I felt a very strong spirit aura, but this was a little strange, because from the aura that exuded that calmness, there was an evil spirit that faintly seeped out,"

Ancestor Ling Zhengji nodded his head. " I also don't know for sure about this jade. Merely, I've heard that inside this jade slip, there's a spirit-sucking pearl."

Xu Tian stepped foot closer to the jade, then tried to touch the outside.

" Josh..." An extremely strong pressure seeped out, slowly a thin smoke crept into Xu Tian's hand.

Xu Tian fell silent trying to digest everything that happened. By closing both of his eyes, Xu Tian began to dissolve in his mind.

A picture of the past slowly began to revolve within his brain. Ancestor Ling Zhengji who was behind Xu Tian, just kept silent and continued to stare at him.

Under Xu Tian realm of consciousness.

Xu Tian opened his two eyes staring at the vast expanse of grass. Not long after, a shadow appeared that resembled him.

" You are me, I am you." Said the shadow smilingly looking at Xu Tian.

Xu Tian began to dissolve in a strange feeling that enveloped his heart. Where the shadow of the past in his previous life kept on appearing as he looked at that shadow figure

" Don't cry. Everything has happened, our failures in the past have been valuable lessons. For now, rebuild all past achievements with hard work and determination on ourselves. Destroy that destiny, break that barrier. We now have a better life than in the past. We now have a family to protect. We now have an obligation to take care of them all. Forget about revenge on ourselves. Forget about past sadness. Our spirits will be purified again." Said a figure that was none other than Xu Tian in the past.

Slowly the shadowy figure turned into a golden grain of light. The light began to envelop Xu Tian's body to make him fall on the grass.

Spirit is the controller of body and soul, spirit acts as mind of body and soul, soul feels as if the mind is original of self.

Unlike the soul fragment, where a cultivator who had entered a certain stage was able to rise again when his soul fragment had not been destroyed.

Spirit itself, is the essence of one's life that will never be lost even if our soul and body have been destroyed.

(note. This explanation is just the author's imagination.")

The Outer World.

Ancestor Ling Zhengji was greatly shocked as Xu Tian's body fell unconscious. He quickly lifted Xu Tian's body, then carried him up.

After being inside the room, Ancestor Ling Zhengji immediately laid down Xu Tian's body.

The Soul World.

The change in the soul world, made everyone very surprised. Their minds and souls seemed to feel an incredible calm making all the inhabitants inside sleepy.

" Mom, I want to sleep." Said Xu Yue Lin asking Qing Ling to carry him.

Qing Ling who felt the same way, immediately raised the body of the little girl, then entered into the sky palace.

It also happened to Xie Heng who was cultivating, until he finally fell asleep.

All the inhabitants of the soul world fell asleep without knowing the phenomenon that occurred in that place.

Somewhere.

A statue emitted a white light which then turned golden.

" Josh...." Two figures arrived at that place with widening both of his eyes.

" Has he come back?" Say one of the figures wearing emperor-like clothes with a crown decorated with Dragons.

" Emperor, it seems like he already knew this would happen, thus asking the emperor to make a move this time as well."

The figure the emperor summoned fell silent with a chaotic mind. " Gather all the higher-ups together, and keep an eye on the retarders!"

" Good.."

" Hais..why is he coming back," said the emperor with an increasingly uneasy mind.

******

The 9th Heaven.

" Isn't this too soon?" Said the beautiful woman who kept staring at the jade statue in front of her.

" no. It's all been according to what he wanted."

" he-oh..."

" There's no need to worry, even though he's still weak, but I'm sure he's able to get through it all. Never doubt your own grandson." Said the handsome man beside her.

" You're right. I'm just too worried about him."

" It's time we help them in the world of cultivators,"

" Alright, let me meet them."

Both of them disappeared from that place.

In the hiding place, there was a person who heard all the conversations between the two.

" I have to act immediately, otherwise everything that has been planned will fall apart."

" You're overconfident, assuming we don't know what you're doing!" The words of the man who had previously spoken to the woman appeared in the place of the figure hiding.

" Lord 9 of Heaven, I'm sorry..."

" I will no longer be soft on those who have bad intentions towards my grandson. Even though he had forbidden me to help him to reach the peak he wanted." Said the 9 Heavens Ruler who instantly destroyed the body of the figure who was secretly eavesdropping on his conversation.

After killing the figure, the 9 Heavens Ruler let out a long sigh. " He was stubborn, always not wanting to trouble his own family." His mind remembered how their times were still gathered together.
