Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 400 I Know Myself

He made all kinds of plans and even drained away the Soul Clan's savings of thousands of years, just to deal with the calamity of ascension!

Just when he was ready, the catastrophe of ascension finally arrived...
Endless thunder swept across this world, making every righteous person feel fear from the bottom of their heart.

But he was not afraid at all. He mobilized all his skills and rushed into the sky against the thunder!

In a trance, he seemed to see a formless face quietly appear and ask him without sadness or joy.

"who are you?"

He immediately shouted: "I am Taiyi Xuanling's soul of the ancestor of the tribulation soul, Ruyu!"

The faceless face asked again: "Who are you?"

He shouted: "I am the Soul Ancestor Hun Ruyu..."

But the faceless figure seemed not to have heard and asked again, "Who are you?"

He suddenly realized that the faceless face was asking himself, asking who he was...

"who I am……"

Countless voices in my heart howled the same answer.

"I am Soul Ancestor Hun Ruyu..."

"I am Soul Jade..."

"I am Li Yu, the one who massacred my own clan. I am Hun Ruyu of the Soul Clan who has changed his appearance..."

He vaguely felt that as long as he shouted out this sentence truthfully, the tribulation of ascension would no longer be so difficult. He would be able to successfully overcome the tribulation, ascend to become an immortal, live as long as the sky, and have everything he wanted.

When he thought of this, he could no longer control himself and wanted to shout out this sentence.

"I am the soul..."

But before he could finish his words, his heart suddenly shook.

"Am I a soul like jade?"

He seemed to have forgotten something...

"I am Soul Ancestor Hun Ruyu! I am Taiyi Xuanling's Soul Ancestor Hun Ruyu!"

Deep down in his heart, there were still countless voices urging him to shout out quickly to end this terrifying ascension calamity.

He felt as if his whole body was gradually being swallowed up by these sounds.

But just when he was about to lose all his will and shouted out these words, a cool energy suddenly came from his dantian, wandering throughout his body, suddenly calming his restless soul.

That's where the mysterious water lotus is...

"Yes, the mysterious water lotus! I have the mysterious water lotus, I am not Hun Ruyu!"

Chen Mu suddenly woke up, and his pupils once again showed his own brilliance!

At the same time, Wuxiang's face seemed to be oblivious to everything, and he continued to ask without any sadness or joy, "Who are you?"

Chen Mu's brows relaxed and he laughed heartily.

Although he didn't know what would happen if he didn't wake up, he could guess that he would most likely be lost and never be able to return to reality.

After suddenly getting out of trouble, even he felt a little emotionally unstable.

"Hahahaha... I'm not some Soul Ancestor Hun Ruyu, I'm Chen Mu, Qingxi Chen Mu!"

As these words fell, the thunder in the sky stopped abruptly, and Wuxiang's face paused for a moment before also quietly dissipating.

Chen Mu frowned slightly and looked around, finding that the scene in front of him was changing slowly and blurrily.

He turned around and took one last look at the Soul Clan, his Taoist partner, Hun Lingjun, and their daughter...

For some reason, Chen Mu, who had regained consciousness, still couldn't help feeling reluctant... Although this was just a dream for him, it was extremely real, like a life.

It’s a pity that dreams will eventually end. Chen Mu stopped thinking about it and slowly opened his eyes.

As far as the eye could see, there was no trace of the Ascension Tribulation, no trace of the Soul Clan disciples, only an ancient and simple immortal palace. He stepped over the threshold, but before his foot touched the ground...

The five people around him were in the same state, stunned, with fear in their eyes, fear from the inexplicable strong wind just now...

The so-called big dream, which lasts for ten thousand years in a moment, is truly mysterious.

He sighed and looked ahead, where there was a dark throne. On the throne sat a cold-faced man in a black robe, looking at him.

Chen Mu frowned, and after taking a few steps closer and seeing the man's appearance clearly, his heart was suddenly filled with waves, and his face changed in shock.

"Soul like jade? What's going on..."

The man sitting on the seat was none other than the master of life he had experienced in his dream, the Soul Ancestor whose soul was as beautiful as jade!

"Hasn't Hun Ruyu already ascended to become an immortal? How could he appear here?"

There was no sign of life on his body, and it was obvious that he had been dead for countless years, but his empty eyes vaguely revealed the arrogance he had before his death...

Even if one becomes an immortal, can one not escape the cycle of life and death?
Then why do people in this world spend so much effort to cultivate the Great Dao...

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment. He had just come out of a dream and his mood was still turbulent.

"It was Fellow Daoist Chen who was the first to break free from the Soul Nightmare. I congratulate Fellow Daoist Chen..."

A voice suddenly came from behind him. Chen Mu turned around and saw that it was Qingfengzi with a smile on his face.

He frowned and ignored the congratulations. Instead, he took the opportunity to ask, "Fellow Daoist Qingfeng, don't you know me?"

Qing Fengzi was stunned for a moment, then asked softly, "Why do you say that, Fellow Daoist Chen?"

Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged as he continued, "You don't know me, but I've seen you..."

Qing Fengzi's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked urgently: "Excuse me, fellow Taoist, where have you seen me?"

Seeing his reaction, Chen Mu became even more puzzled. After thinking for a while, he didn't hide it and said, "In the outside world."

"Yes, it's me..." Qingfengzi murmured twice and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fellow Daoist, you don't know that what you saw was just the result of my obsession..."

"Obsession?" Chen Mu's eyes twitched. If an obsession could transform him into someone who was no different from an ordinary person, then how terrifying must Qing Fengzi's cultivation be...

"Indeed, I have followed my master's will and persevered here for ten thousand years. Over these long years, I have gradually developed a wisp of obsession, constantly tempting me to abandon my duties here and seek the great path in the outside world..."

Qingfengzi let out a long sigh and explained to him.

"I knew this obsession was not malicious, so I didn't suppress it. I allowed it to develop, and it almost led to a serious mistake."

He shook his head, an inexplicable look flashing in his eyes: "A hundred years ago, someone finally passed the trial set by the master. In order to help me complete my mission, my obsession secretly helped that person cross the Ten Thousand Souls Devouring Heart Bridge and come here to inherit the master's Taoism.

The person who should have been eliminated entered the soul nightmare set by the master, and because his state of mind was not in line with the master's arrangement, he almost destroyed the master's arrangement.

If the master hadn’t kept a backup plan, the consequences would have been disastrous…”

Chen Mu's eyes flashed slightly, but he did not interrupt his story.

"Since then, my obsession was afraid that I would pursue it later, so it escaped on its own, using that person's soul to leave this place and wander in the outside world...

Fifty years ago, I lost my sense of it and thought it had been erased, but I never expected that Daoist Chen would actually see him."

Qingfengzi shook his head, smiled, and waved his hand.

Chen Mu nodded suddenly, so that's how it is...

No wonder Qingfengzi in the outside world is so keen on selling the secret record of breaking through the barriers. Maybe it's also to help him get rid of his mission here as soon as possible...
