The expressions of the three changed slightly.
Su Ye narrowed his eyes at Hell's Nineteen Layers and Wu Jian. "Eternally suffering, with no respite, souls shattered and reformed, never escaping. Why are you there?"
Yun Zhi Yue shook his head. "I don't know. My shattered soul should have gathered in Wu Jian. I felt nothing there, drifting aimlessly without any memories. Later, I was rescued by the former Meng Po."
"What more can I wish for while I'm alive? Whatever happens, happens. After that, I stayed by Meng Po's side. She always took me to Wu Jian to listen to Ksitigarbha preach. We both suffered from insomnia, and it was particularly healing."
Ji Wei asked curiously, "No wonder he's the legendary Buddha Monarch. He doesn't get angry at all. It's said that he fell into the underworld of Wu Jian to transform it with Buddhist teachings. What a pity not to see him."
Yun Zhi Yue replied proudly, "You'll never see him in this lifetime. Ksitigarbha has long sworn to guard Wu Jian forever. In the underworld, besides me and the former Meng Po, no one else can walk through Wu Jian; other Ming Jun cannot either."
Ji Wei complimented, "That's truly impressive! But why can only you two do it?"
Yun Zhi Yue shot him a sideways glance. "It's because I'm clever and lovable, and I attract people’s favor. Don't try to pry; I won't divulge everything about the underworld to you. I'm Meng Po, my soul is branded by the underworld, and having become a traitor, I can't seek death!"
"Then why do you dare come to the Heavenly Realm to seek a master? Aren't you afraid of not being able to explain yourself?" Ji Wei continued to dig deeper.
Yun Zhi Yue snorted. "With a strong backing, everything is smooth sailing wherever I go. Clinging to powerful allies is an art; I'm skilled in this area, and someone will help me."
"Hahaha!" Ji Wei laughed uncontrollably at this.
Su Ye also smiled as he activated his spiritual barrier.
Well then, the first day in the Arena ended just like that; what else was there to see?
Uninterested in continuing the conversation with these three, Yun Zhi Yue flew over to Yun Shijiu and her companions, settling down in their designated resting area to wait for tomorrow's competition.
The matter of slaughtering the dragon clan was far from over; during tomorrow's match, it was certain that the dragon clan would resort to tricks to make sure Yun Shijiu encountered them again in the Arena.
According to Shijiu, she hadn’t finished watching Ying Ying's match; it had ended abruptly.
It was said that Xuan Hui Hui stood still while Ying Ying furiously attacked her, cursing loudly but failing to break through Xuan Hui Hui's defenses. In the end, Ying Ying broke her own defenses and cried out of frustration.
Seeing that the situation had reached a stalemate without resolution, Elder Tianhu announced the conclusion of the match.
The younger ones dispersed as Elder Tianhu communicated with Ji Wei, the clan leader, before stepping back.
Ji Wei remarked with interest, "Who dares to seduce Su Ye Emperor for dual cultivation? Is this girl always so bold?"
Yue Qi frowned. "That’s not Yun Zhi Yue."
Su Ye shook his head. "At that time, her spiritual platform and soul showed no changes; it was indeed her—she was just hidden away. Don't forget that whether it's Tai Chu Zhi Ling or the underworld Wu Jian, both remain unsolved mysteries."
Ji Wei's brows slightly furrowed. "Tai Chu Ji Mie... Where did the Heavenly Emperor find that girl and raise her?"
In the relics of his mother, Ben Di discovered a seed that was only half-formed, yet it still held a faint glimmer of life. Nostalgic for his mother, he decided to nurture it and see what would happen.
Su Ye squinted and said, "Do you know that someone has been stirring trouble, claiming that you devoured half of Yun Zhi Yue's Original Species to be born?"
Yue Qi sneered, "Ben Di knows who it is. When I was born, I did indeed absorb some power, but it wasn't from Yun Zhi Yue. The idea that I would kill Ben Di for Yun Zhi Yue is laughable!" With that dismissive remark, Yue Qi vanished.
Su Ye sipped his tea, reflecting on how tangled this situation had become. He had a premonition that the moment of revelation was not far off.
His gaze pierced through the void towards Wujie, where Li Shang was meditating. It seemed he sensed something, staring intently at the floating Sha Jian Wu Yue as he whispered, "Don't rush. Soon enough, you'll get a taste of the Blood of the Imperial Realm."
