This complex feeling wasnât only due to Yao Xixue. In truth, after cultivating for over 1,300 years, not only had his cultivation level increased, his comprehension of the heavens had deepened. And along with his accumulated life experience, he began to gradually ponder all the killing he had done.
Yao Xixue was merely the thing that set off his self-reflection.
Just like when he got drunk with Situ Nan, he didnât dare to look back in his life and see if cultivation was really worth it. In his 1,300 plus years of cultivation, too many people had died by his hands.
Even Wang Lin couldnât clearly remember how many he had killed. Killing was not something everyone took delight in. For Wang Lin, these 1,000 plus years of killing only made him feel tired.
However, in this cruel cultivation world, if you didnât kill, you would give away your own life. No one could do anything about being forced into the choice of kill or be killed.
You couldnât escape from it!
You either live or die, and you often only have one chance.
âIf you just did this to me, then that would be the end, but you had to be so vicious against my father. Wang Lin, was there such hatred between you and I? In this cultivation world, it is common to scheme against each other. Although I, Yao Xixue, was wrong, was it enough to sentence me to death??â Yao Xixue stared at Wang Lin. The hatred burned in her eyes, and her voice was filled with sorrow.
Wang Lin silently pondered. He looked at the horizon and his eyes dimmed.
âYou sealed me for hundreds of years and you used a dirty method to make it so I couldnât remain calm. All of this I can withstand because I was in the wrong first. However, you shouldnât have killed my father!!â In addition to the intense hatred in Yao Xixueâs eyes, there were shining tears.
Wang Lin let out a sigh. More than 1,000 years of cultivation had made heart tough as well. However, he was, after all, a person, not a devil. He had his reasoning and his own morals.
If they donât offend me, I wonât offend them!
Yao Xixueâs scheme touched Wang Linâs bottom line, so she had to die! However, due to his worry about Blood Ancestor and the Blood Pill, he didnât kill her! Then, when facing Blood Ancestor, he had to resist in order to survive. If Blood Ancestor didnât die, he, Wang Lin, would have!
He had no choice! From Wang Linâs point of view, he wasnât wrong!
However, from Yao Xixueâs point of view, she had suffered the price of being sealed for hundreds of years for her scheming against Wang Lin. Like she said, although she hated him, they were even.
However, with the death of her father, did she still need to reason with her fatherâs killer? She wasnât able to see what was right or wrong. As the child, no matter what reason, she had to get revenge. From Yao Xixueâs point of view, she wasnât wrong either.
âAll of this is karma⦠The karmic cause of yesterday will produce the karmic effect of today. Each step was not something she or I could control⦠If she hadnât schemed against me first, or I didnât fear Blood Ancestor, then none of this would have happened.
âOnce the cause is born, it will never extinguish, it will only grow. I was trapped for hundreds of years. Itâs like the result of trying to keep a lie is to make even more lies.
âThe me from back then didnât comprehend karma and didnât realize I was already part of the cause.
âThen when Blood Ancestor came hunting me, I thought that was the effect. However, it seems Blood Ancestor wasnât the effect, only part of the cause!
âThe true effect is not having to fight Blood Ancestor or what Yao Xixue said, but my own dao heart!â There was some light in Wang Linâs eyes.
âMy karma domain still hasnât reach completion, and the progress has been slow. No matter how much enlightenment I have, it seems I canât comprehend what is truly karma⦠Back then, I vaguely felt that in order to complete my karma domain, Iâll have to complete all karma related to me. It seems my feeling back then was only partially correct.â Wang Linâs eyes began to light up even more.
Yao Xixue stared at Wang Lin with a venomous gaze. The more Wang Lin remained silent, the stronger her hatred become and her resentment increased. After letting out a mournful cry, Yao Xixue formed a seal and pointed between her eyebrows without hesitation.
âWang Lin, let us finish the matter between us. I, Yao Xixue, am willing to sacrifice my soul and my flesh to get revenge for my father!â
The resentment and hatred from Yao Xixue turned into endless hostility, making her look extremely ferocious. The moment her hand pressed between her eyebrows, the light in her eyes disappeared and was replaced with cold demonic flames.
âDemon Ancestor, I, Yao Xixue, am willing to give up the last trace of my will and completely hand over my flesh. However, you have to promise me you will kill him!!â Yao Xixueâs sharp voice echoed through the world.
The moment this sound appeared, a monstrous demonic energy erupted from her body. Her appearance immediately changed due to this demonic energy. Her fingernails grew very long and gave off a cold sharpness.
Her hair suddenly grew until it was at her feet and was scarlet red.
The hideous scars on her face began to move. They connected together and formed a complex rune.
An extremely cold demonic energy completely erupted from her body and spread out across the sky. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the sky was filled with demonic energy.
This demonic energy was filled with cold intent. As the demonic energy spread, cracking sounds came from the ocean. At this instant, most of the ocean froze over!
The water on the surface quickly turned to ice, and it rapidly spread. Even the raging waves were frozen like ice sculptures!
Even the wall-like wave was frozen. From a distance, it looked very amazing.
âAs you wish!â A cold voice came from Yao Xixueâs mouth. It was like a chilly wind that swept the world.
She had sacrificed her flesh and soul to completely become a vessel for one of the nine ancient demon spirits. This was the price Yao Xixue had paid to get revenge on Wang Lin.
At this moment, the thing controlling Yao Xixueâs body was no longer her, but one of the nine ancient demon spirits, the wind demon!
The ancient demon was very adaptive. Back then, he was split into nine parts, each with their own independent mind. Some wanted to fuse back together, but there were also those that didnât and wanted to remain split.
During these hundreds of years, Bei Lou had devoured seven ancient demon spirits and recovered 80% of his previous cultivation. The remaining 20% was with this wind demon.
The wind demon was different from the other ancient demon spirits. The wind demon was unwilling to fuse, and regardless of the cost, had chosen another method. After failing to fuse with countless people, he finally selected Yao Xixue. Using her obsession with her hatred of Wang Lin, he was able to successfully fuse.
This fusion was insane because it was not a possession. First, he passed his ancient demon inheritance to Yao Xixue. Then, at a great risk, collapsed his body to turn into demonic energy that had no consciousness.
As a result, it was giving up his identity as an ancient demon spirit, which was equal to death! At the cost of his own life, he didnât give Bei Lou a chance to devour him.
This was something not even Bei Lou had expected. When he realized it, it was too late because the wind demon had collapsed.
Although Yao Xixue had the wind demonâs memory inheritance, she couldnât access most of it, only absorb. In these hundreds of years of absorbing demonic energy, it had gathered to a certain degree.
If she had never chosen to awaken all the memories in the inheritance, then the wind demon wouldnât have been able to awaken in a short period of time. In truth, the wind demon was gambling that for revenge, Yao xixue was willing to gave up everything for power.
Moreover, even if he had lost the gamble, it wouldnât have mattered. As long as Yao Xixue continued to absorb demonic energy, then once there was enough, it would automatically force all the memories to open up within the inheritance.
In reality, the wind demon really didnât survive. The wind demon had already died, and what remained was just his memories!
Yao Xixue was merely the vessel for those memories.
The instant the memories were activated completely, all of Yao Xixueâs memories would disappear, leaving her body with a soul that only had the memories of the wind demon. As a result, she would become the new wind demon!
Facing this phenomenon, even Bei Lou was helpless. The ancient demon spirit he wanted was already gone. It had given up its identity as an ancient demon to become a demonic cultivator; it was no longer an ancient demon!
At this moment, the wind demonâs memories activated along with Yao Xixueâs hatred. All of Yao Xixueâs memories were quickly devoured, leaving only her intense hatred for Wang Lin. Even though the wind demon had devoured her memories, he couldnât erase this hatred.
The demonic figure flashed, and the wind demon stared coldly at Wang Lin.
âI donât care about the matter between you and Yao Xixue. She has activated my memories and her existence has already been devoured by me. By doing this, I have done you a favor!â The wind demon licked his lips and slowly retreated. The frozen sea began to melt and the cold energy quickly entered the wind demonâs body.
She was very cautious at this moment because she considered the cultivator before her very dangerous. The aura this cultivator gave off almost made her gasp.
She had only agreed to help Yao Xixue to deceive her to give up everything. Even the last âAs you wishâ was only to appease Yao Xixue so she wouldnât resist at the end.
Now that everything was done, she, the wind demon, would not risk fighting against this cultivator she found terrifying for Yao Xixue, who had lost all value.
If the person Yao Xixue wanted to kill was very weak, then she could help, but the person before her made her feel a lot of dread.
Moreover, her current cultivation level was a lot lower than that of the person before her, so she canât take any risks.
âThis is one of the restrictions inside the Celestial Emperor Cave. If all the restrictions are triggered, it wonât be good for you or me. Since there is no feud between us, then Iâll be leaving.â After the wind demon spoke, she continued to retreat.
