Chapter 450: A Sudden Shocking Revelation
This novel is translated and hosted on Bcatranslation
A sharp and formidable force pierced straight into her spirit platform.
It rampaged within, attempting to seize control over her entire being.
She abruptly raised her hands to clutch her head.
Her small figure curled up on the dragon bed, and in this isolated space, silence reigned as if it had been completely severed from the outside world.
A young man suddenly appeared within the sleeping quarters.
His usually calm and indifferent face flickered with a hint of killing intent, a crimson light flashing briefly in his eyes.
His hands, slightly cool, rested on Lu Chao Chao’s head, a force both gentle and domineering instantly driving out the foreign consciousness.
By this time, Lu Chao Chao was drenched in sweat.
“Wha… what’s going on? Someone was trying to possess me?” She gasped in shock, sweat dripping down her face.
The young man took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped away her cold sweat.
“It wasn’t possession. It was the Control Soul Technique.”
“Chao Chao, your spirit is incomplete. That’s why you fell for it.” A flicker of ruthless intent passed through his eyes, though he concealed it well before her.
The power of the Heavenly Dao came from the Three Realms, and the ceaseless evil desires within them had inevitably taken their toll.
“Could it be that Han Chuan has discovered me? Is he trying to control me?” Lu Chao Chao’s face was filled with surprise. Could Han Chuan really possess such ability?
“He has not.”
“He likely doesn’t even know that the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom is you. This was merely an accident.”
Lu Chao Chao abruptly sat up.
She suddenly recalled High God Li Guang’s words—the Divine Realm would control the Mortal Realm, and all emperors would become mere puppets of the gods.
“To the embassy!” Lu Chao Chao extended her hand towards Heavenly Dao.
Her incomplete spirit made her vulnerable to exploitation, and she could only rely on the Heavenly Dao.
The young man hesitated slightly before picking her up and disappearing silently from the spot.
Brahma Kingdom Embassy
The moment Lu Chao Chao landed, the sound of wooden fish filled the air from all directions, each beat more urgent than the last.
“They’re chanting the Exorcising Evil Sutra. It won’t work on the Control Soul Technique.”
The young man glanced at the sky. “Because it is not evil.”
In the courtyard, countless disciples struck their wooden fish while reciting sutras, encircling a high monk clad in a kasaya. The monk’s face was already covered in sweat, his once-compassionate gaze now filled with arrogance and dominance.
A deep sense of discord surrounded him.
“He’s controlling souls!”
Suddenly… soft footsteps approached.
Lu Chao Chao turned her head in surprise and saw Xie Yu Zhou entering the courtyard, his eyes half-closed, dressed in nothing but his inner robes.
“What is he doing here?” She quickly realized—the Northern Zhao Embassy was right next door.
“Why are his eyes closed?” Lu Chao Chao was filled with curiosity.
“He must have… sensed something. Some things, once engraved upon the soul, remain forever across lifetimes.” The young man guided Chao Chao aside, watching as Xie Yu Zhou stepped before the monk.
Still keeping his eyes half-closed, he sat down cross-legged.
Though he had never been involved with Buddhism, his actions now seemed natural, as if second nature.
His lips moved slightly, reciting something that Lu Chao Chao strained to hear—it was a sutra.
“Look!!” Lu Chao Chao’s eyes widened in astonishment.
A circular formation appeared beneath Xie Yu Zhou, and the sutra he chanted transformed into golden swastika symbols, enveloping everyone present.
Countless swastikas floated above.
“The foreign consciousness has been expelled,” the young man spoke with a smile.
He raised a hand and gently stroked Chao Chao’s head. If not for you, the Heavenly Dao would have collapsed, and the Three Realms would have been destroyed. Because of you, the Three Realms continue to persist.
You are the root of the Three Realms.
Thus, everything will always revolve around you.
The young man embraced Chao Chao and once again departed from the Brahma Kingdom Embassy.
Western Yue Embassy
Upon landing, they found themselves in a chamber decorated with gold and splendor, nothing like the Brahma Kingdom Embassy. Lu Chao Chao immediately knew…
They were now in the Western Yue Embassy.
Western Yue was wealthy, arrogant, and extravagant.
“Yu Lang, what’s wrong?! Wake up!!”
The moment she entered, a somewhat familiar voice rang out.
“Yu Lang, look at me! It’s me, A Li!”
“Ahh!!”
“Yu Lang!!”
Lu Chao Chao frowned. Why did that voice sound like Saintess Jing Li?
But… this was the Western Yue Emperor’s sleeping quarters!!
She turned to see Saintess Jing Li clutching her chest, blood seeping through her fingertips.
Lu Chao Chao tilted her head, observing.
Huh? He was wearing the Western Yue Emperor’s robes.
“Your Majesty Sunshine, please save Yu… save His Majesty. Tonight, he suddenly lost control, as if possessed. He does not recognize anyone and has no rationality.” Jing Li’s eyes were red, her voice trembling.
“Did he hurt you?” Lu Chao Chao asked.
Jing Li nodded.
The Western Yue Emperor had always harbored a deep, inexplicable trust in Lu Chao Chao because she could wield the Sunshine Sword.
At this moment, the Western Yue Emperor gripped a long sword, fresh blood dripping from its blade. He clutched his head, roaring in madness.
“A Li, run…!”
It seemed he could not control his thoughts or actions. His face twisted in pain, yet he still advanced toward Saintess Jing Li, sword in hand.
“I will not run! You and I are one, we live and die together!” Jing Li did not retreat an inch.
Lu Chao Chao’s eyes widened in shock upon hearing those words.
She had just stumbled upon an explosive revelation!
‘He… He… They’re lovers?!’
‘Rumors say the Saintess of Western Yue holds a status above even the Emperor. I thought they’d be political rivals, fighting for power. But… they’re actually a couple?!’
‘Ahhhh, this revelation is too much to process!!’
The Western Yue Emperor’s eyes gleamed with a fierce light as he raised his sword toward Saintess Jing Li.
Just before the blade fell, Heavenly Dao struck him with a palm, sending him crashing into the wall.
The foreign consciousness shattered instantly.
“Yu Lang!!” Jing Li rushed forward, clutching the Western Yue Emperor, tears falling like rain.
“Yu Lang, are you okay? Are you… still Yu Lang?” Her voice trembled, her forehead gently pressing against his, her whole body shaking with anxiety.
The man coughed up another mouthful of blood, weakly wiping the tears from Jing Li’s face. “It’s me. Don’t be afraid.”
Jing Li wiped her tears and nodded. “Your Majesty Sunshine, I have never begged you for anything. Today, I beg you just this once.” She turned and knelt before Lu Chao Chao.
“I implore Your Majesty to keep what happened tonight a secret.”
She then told her story—how, at the age of three, she was chosen as the Saintess. Her greedy parents disguised her as a girl to send her into the Restricted Grounds in pursuit of wealth and status.
The Restricted Grounds were desolate, cold, and silent—no one could enter, and no one could speak.
He was the only one who secretly sneaked in every day, staying with her, helping her endure that terrifying solitude.
“I am nothing but a disaster,” she laughed bitterly, glancing at the Western Yue Emperor, their fingers interlocked.
The Emperor, handsome yet brooding, gazed at her with softened eyes, gripping her hand tightly.
Jing Li had never interfered with his royal duties, yet the Western Yue Emperor refused to take a wife.
Even when officials pressured him, and elders sacrificed themselves in the Golden Luan Hall, spilling blood three feet high—he endured it all.
The two never dared to act out of line.
Even a fleeting gaze between them was a treasure of warmth.
