Chapter 271 Spirit Wandering the Void
Chapter 271 Spirit Wandering the Void
“Oh soul, oh return! Leave and separate from your body,
“why wander off in all directions? Abandon your peaceful place,
“and suffer encounters of calamity. Oh soul, oh return!”
Ye Ruoyi had once seen this ancient verse from an ancient poetry book. It was written by three doctors of the ancient Chu State to summon the late King of Chu. Legends said that on that day, the soul of the King of Chu really returned to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, but the soul had nowhere to reside so it still dissipated instantly.
"Oh soul, oh return!" Mo Yi raised his arms into the sky and cried out zealously. The sky was instantly covered with dark clouds, lightning flashed and thunder roared. The sea was raging, as if a huge tidal wave was approaching.
Ye Ruoyi finally understood what Mo Yi was going to do and what she herself had to do. Ye Ruoyi struggled to speak, "Are you going to use my body to carry someone else’s soul?"
"You’re very smart." Mo Yi suddenly put down his hands, and the world became calm in an instant. "You’re very much like my sister. Take a look at this world, you’re about to leave it very soon. Oh soul, oh return!" Mo Yi raised his head again, and all the abnormal phenomena came again!
The thunder roared, as if thousands of cavalry horses were galloping through the sky.
The tempest raged, rolling up the seawater and pouring it down on the island.
Standing on the top of the pavilion, Mo Yi was bathed in the wind and rain, floating in the air as if he was an immortal descending.
Could he really summon the soul of a person who died tens of years ago and bring it back to this isolated island far away from the world?
Ye Ruoyi\'s frail body suffered a beating from the wind and rain. Finally, she could no longer withstand the battering and she fainted.
Xiao Se and Sikong Qianluo were still pressed by a force of thousands of jun, and were unable to stand up. They stared at the various phenomena before them, their hearts greatly shocked. Back in the kingdom of Khotan, Xiao Se once saw the late Wangyou return to visit, but that was only a thread of devotion that had lingered in the world and it dissipated after a moment. But, what Mo Yi was trying to do was to resurrect the dead.
It was unheard of.
"Stop!" A loud shout sounded.
The roar of thunder paused.
The raging wind stopped.
A suit of blue robes floated over from the distance, and with one fist, he destroyed a small part of the star map.
"Baili Dongjun!" Mo Yi flung Ye Ruoyi aside and shouted angrily.
"Mister Mo." Baili Dongjun landed steadily on a tall tree, his tone still quite respectful.
"Long ago, I saved you from a crisis. This time, I helped you make the Meng Po soup. Why have you come to ruin my plans?" Mo Yi demanded angrily.
"Mister Mo, you have demonised. Turn around and return to shore." Baili Dongjun sighed faintly. "The person from your past is gone. Why are you clinging on to them?"
"Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to teach me what to do?" Mo Yi flipped his sleeves, and wind and thunder roiled within his sleeves.
"All right, I won\'t stop Mister. However, these few people are all disciples of my Snow Moon City. I’m taking them away," Baili Dongjun said.
"You can take the rest. Not her." Mo Yi was obviously referring to Ye Ruoyi.
"Then that won\'t work." Baili Dongjun shook his head. "Mister has done a lot for me, so please, Mister, make the first move."
"You?" Mo Yi raised his eyebrows. "Just you? Are you worth my effort?"
Baili Dongjun raised his right hand and said again, "Please!"
Mo Yi\'s figure moved, and he arrived in front of Baili Dongjun in a flash. He flicked his sleeves.
Wind and rain fell from all directions, wind and thunder were instigated.
They all pounded down towards Baili Dongjun.
However, Baili Dongjun disappeared.
In the next moment, he appeared at the foot of the pavilion.
Among the lightness skills in the world, there was Wudang’s Cloud Ladder Leap, Tianshan Sect’s Trekking Snow Without a Trace, and even Xiao Se’s number one skill under Heaven, Cloud Step Wind Riding. But, none of these skills could compare to what Mo Yi and Baili Dongjun were using now. What they were using was no longer any particular skill or style, but one which contained the Way of Heaven and Earth, to move purely with your heart.
"Leave!" Baili Dongjun waved with an outstretched arm and dissipated that force of thousands of jun.
Xiao Se and Sikong Qianluo were finally able to breathe, and Tang Lian also finally caught up at this time. "Are you guys all right?"
Xiao Se looked at the top of the pavilion. "Ye Ruoyi is up there."
"I\'ll go." Tang Lian raised his head, leaped forward, and swept upwards.
But he was struck by a palm and fell.
When an immortal touches my crown, I can live forever?
Tang Lian smiled bitterly. With this one touch, he was going to be so dead he couldn’t die anymore.
Someone grabbed his collar, pulled back roughly and he fell at full speed. Baili Dongjun brushed past his side and faced Mo Yi with a palm.
Mo Yi stepped back and landed firmly on the top of the pavilion.
Baili Dongjun fell down at the same time, landing heavily on the ground with his feet, sinking nearly a foot into the soil.
Sikong Qianluo cried out with joy. "As expected of Baili-shibo. Go kill this half-human, half-ghost thing!"
Tang Lian was overjoyed. Although Baili Dongjun was one of Beili\'s top martial experts, based on what he observed in his fight against Mo Yi earlier, Mo Yi’s realm was far above Baili Dongjun’s. But Baili Dongjun actually managed to match up against Mo Yi just now. Could it be…
Xiao Se walked over to Lei Wujie\'s body, probed his breath and breathed a sigh of relief. He took out a medicinal pill from his sleeve, crushed it and stuffed it into his mouth. Lei Wujie’s brows furrowed into a frown, and after a while, he woke up. "I… I\'m not dead yet."
"Not dead yet, but not necessarily so in another moment," Xiao Se said coldly.
Baili Dongjun frowned slightly. "Not gonna be an easy fight."
Mo Yi lowered his head, looking at Baili Dongjun. "Looks like after your grand dream, you’ve broken through the next realm."
"You also know of the division of the four realms?" Baili Dongjun asked in confusion.
"A few years ago, besides the lot of you, someone else also came here and sat down with me for a discussion. He’s a very interesting person. He told me that martial arts are divided into four realms, and I am the only person under Heaven he has ever seen enter the Spirit Wandering Profound Realm. But now, looks like I’ve seen the second one," Mo Yi said.
Baili Dongjun nodded. "Yes, I’ve entered the Spirit Wandering Profound Realm."
Spirit wandered between Heaven and Earth, the Way was grand but void and calm.
"I had a grand dream, and in the dream, I met someone." Baili Dongjun closed his eyes slightly, as if recalling the scene in the dream. "She spoke to me, she hoped that I would not regret anymore. After I woke up from the dream, my mind was clear and pure. When I exerted my strength, I realised I’d broken through the realm."
"I have been in the Spirit Wandering Profound Realm for forty years." Mo Yi stood there, his eyes full of contempt. "You’ve merely entered the Spirit Wandering Profound Realm for the first time. Do you think you can beat me?"
Baili Dongjun smiled helplessly. "A man’s gotta try."
"For so many years, I’ve rarely met anyone who could fight against me. If this were any other time, I would certainly find this very interesting. But now, I’m very angry." Mo Yi\'s eyes were filled with rage. "You should not have disturbed me at this time."
"Borrowing the sword!" Baili Dongjun yelled, and the Heart sword instantly flew out of Lei Wujie\'s hand and dropped into his hand. He rushed towards Mo Yi with one leap. "It’s true that there’s a gap between us, so I’m going to get some external help."
If he wielded a sword, he became a sword immortal. If he wielded a sabre, he became a sabre immortal. The most consummate expert in the world, Wine Immortal Baili Dongjun.
Mo Yi sneered and pointed a finger.
One finger to shake Kunlun.
"Die!"
