What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? - Chapter 42
Ye Yu looked at the scene in the dream.
He couldnât help but feel somewhat disappointed.
To him in the dream, Ruan Lianyue was like his white moonlight.
At a time when he couldnât cultivate, she was the gentle presence illuminating the entire night sky.
But now, the Wind Thunder Temple actually suspected Ruan Lianyueâs allegiance.
It would have been one thing to expel her from the sect. But to cripple her cultivation as well?
In this fantasy world, dangers lurk everywhere.
In the eyes of cultivators, ordinary mortals are not even worth mentioning. If luck is bad, they might not even survive a day.
Arenât the people of the Wind Thunder Temple clearly intending to let Ruan Lianyue die?
ãUpon learning this information, you were furious to the extreme.ã
ãYour whole being surged with killing intent.ã
ãTaking out the Soul Summoning Banner, you attacked the sect alone!ã
ãTwo days later.ã
ãYou slaughtered all the cultivators of the Wind Thunder Temple and successfully advanced to the mid-stage of the Integration Realm.ã
ãBut you didnât feel any happiness.ã
ãAfter pondering for a moment, you immediately returned to the Earth Fiend Sect, ordering everyone to find Ruan Lianyue.ã
ãStarting from the Wind Thunder Temple as the center, in the surrounding thousand-mile radius, not a single corner was to be missed.ã
ãAlive, you must see her; dead, you must see her body.ã
ãCurrently, Ruan Lianyue has become an ordinary mortal. She couldnât have gone far.ã
ãA thousand-mile radius is already the maximum limit.ã
ãBut after searching for half a month, still no news at all.ã
ãYou were very dissatisfied with the efficiency of the sectâs cultivators.ã
ãImmediately, you asserted your authority by killing two elders who were not taking this matter seriously enough.ã
ãAnd on the spot, you promised; anyone who could find Ruan Lianyue would immediately be promoted to Vice Sect Master of the Earth Fiend Sect.ã
ãTechniques, artifacts, whatever they wanted, they could have it.ã
ãWith such motivation, the cultivators of the Earth Fiend Sect once again began a thorough search.ã
ãSome even directly threatened local cultivation familiesâ patriarchs to send people to search.ã
ãAnother month passed.ã
ãStill, there was no sign of Ruan Lianyue.ã
ãYou understood in your heart that if so much time had passed without finding her, it was very likely that this girl was no longer in this world.ã
ãOn this day.ã
ãYou, who rarely drank, drank until completely drunk.ã
ãAt 760 years old, you became the number one demon lord on the Central Continent.ã
ãUnder your leadership, the Earth Fiend Sect also became a dominant force in the demonic path.ã
ãThat year, you officially entered the late stage of the Tribulation Crossing Realm.ã
ãAlso that year, you ceased your killings.ã
ãReturning once again to the village where you originally came from, living a solitary life.ã
ãChopping wood and fishing every day, just like an ordinary mortal.ã
ãThis was not due to lack of ambition.ã
ãBut because you understood very well that if you continued to kill to break through realms, the final result would only be your death and the destruction of your Dao.ã
ãIt wouldnât be other cultivators who would kill you, but the heavenly tribulation.ã
ãCultivators absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and live in seclusion, and that is to avoid karmic entanglements.ã
ãThe stronger the karmic entanglements, the stronger the heavenly tribulation will be when crossing it.ã
ãFor hundreds of years, you have killed countless people.ã
ãThe accumulated karma has reached an extremely terrifying level.ã
ãOnce you reach the peak of the Tribulation Crossing Realm and begin the tribulation, it will be the day of your death.ã
ãFaced with such a heavenly tribulation, you have no confidence, nor the ability to withstand it.ã
ãSo, the best way is to stop killing.ã
ãThis way, you can live longer.ã
ãAfter all, you are already in the Tribulation Crossing Realm and have a long lifespan ahead.ã
ãWhy seek death?ã
ãAs for the Soul Summoning Banner, you stored it in your storage ring, not having used it for a long time.ã
ãThe resentment on it is extremely heavy. Itâs almost on the verge of becoming an immortal artifact.ã
ãEvery time you used it, the sky would flash with lightning and thunder. It looked like an apocalyptic scene, very impressive.ã
ãBut you knew that the thunder in the sky was directed at the Soul Summoning Banner.ã
ãThe karma of killing is too great; it is not tolerated by the heavens.ã
ãIn this situation, hiding in your hometown seemed like the best choice.ã
ãSometimes, when you sit at your door, you still look to the north.ã
ãBack then, the first time you saw Ruan Lianyue, she came from the north.ã
ãUnfortunately, she never appeared again.ã
ãPeople are like this; what they canât have is always the best.ã
Ye Yu furrowed his brow slightly.
Seemingly caught in a dilemma, he was at an impasse, uncertain how to proceed.
He dared not break through to the next realm; breaking through would surely mean being unable to withstand the heavenly tribulation.
But if he didnât break through, living alone until old age was also very hard to endure.
Yet at this moment, he couldnât think of any good solution.
It was quite depressing.
ãOriginally, you thought that peaceful days would continue like this.ã
ãBut in the spring of the second year, Ze Tian, the Vice Sect Master of the Earth Fiend Sect, came to find you.ã
ãHe claimed to have found traces of Ruan Lianyue in the northernmost part of the Central Continent.ã
ãAfter investigating extensively, he discovered that she had joined a small sect called the Seven Star Sect, and had become one of its disciples.ã
ãUpon hearing this news, you could no longer contain the excitement in your heart.ã
ãYou hurried to the Seven Star Sect at the fastest speed.ã
ãThere, you indeed found the figure of Ruan Lianyue.ã
ãHowever, when she saw you again, there was no joyful reunion smile, but rather a fearful step back.ã
ãYou restrained the excitement in your heart, and invited her to come out and talk about old times.ã
ãRuan Lianyue agreed.ã
ãThrough your conversation, you learned that after Ruan Lianyueâs cultivation was crippled by the Wind Thunder Temple, she was rescued by a former friend.ã
ãAnd this friend even found rare treasures to nourish Ruan Lianyueâs body, allowing her to embark on the path of cultivation again.ã
ãMost importantly, this friend turned out to be a woman.ã
ãThis was tremendous news for you.ã@@novelbin@@
ãSo, you immediately confessed your feelings to Ruan Lianyue, wanting to become Dao companions with her.ã
ãBut you were rejected on the spot.ã
ãRuan Lianyue told you that over these years, although she lived in the borderlands, she was still aware of the recent developments in the Central Continent.ã
ãShe knew you were notorious as the foremost demon lord in Central Continent, the one responsible for the destruction of the Wind Thunder Temple.ã
ãRuan Lianyue didnât want to be with someone who only knew killing.ã
ãMoreover, that incident in the past had become a knot in her heart.ã
ãWhy didnât you just kill her right at the gate of the Earth Fiend Sect that day?ã
ãThat way, it would have been over once and for all. And she wouldnât have been suspected when she returned to the Wind Thunder Temple.ã
ãThe pain of having her cultivation stripped away was bone-deep, but what hurt the most was the pain in her heart.ã
ãThe disdainful looks from the sect master and fellow daoists, Ruan Lianyue hadnât forgotten them to this day.ã
ãYet before she could clear her name, you had wiped out everyone from the Wind Thunder Temple.ã
ãRuan Lianyue knew she had no right to resent you, because you spared her out of nostalgia.ã
ãBut what happened afterwards, it was an unfortunate twist of fate that gave her the most painful memories.ã
