After bypassing the Ten Extremes Formation, I quickly returned to my previous position. I looked up and saw that the three Celestial Masters of Dragon Tiger Mountain were still there. Wu Yue was nowhere to be seen.
At this moment, the three Celestial Masters of Dragon Tiger Mountain were focused on the coffin-like zither case that was floating in the air. Outside the zither case, a white illusory zither shadow was on the verge of collapse, struggling to break free from the suction force in the zither case. The three Celestial Masters of Dragon Tiger Mountain sent their True Essence to the zither case at the same time, continuing to increase the suction force of the zither case.
When he got closer, he saw that Wu Yue's body had been sucked into the zither case, but the zither case shadow that she summoned with her hands was still outside the case. For some reason, she had already dedicated herself to the zither case, but she was trying her best to keep the zither shadow outside.
At this moment, the old Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain, Li Chunxu, spoke. He sighed with a hint of pity on his face, "Wu Yue, why are you doing this? You should know that the Fuxi Zither is the treasure of Dragon Tiger Mountain. No matter what, the entire Dragon Tiger Mountain has to complete its Zither Soul so that the divine artifact can shine again. As the Zither Soul, you shouldn't stop this."
After he finished speaking, the Daoist's expression was very solemn. He immediately said, "That's right, the Fuxi Zither is the treasure of Dragon Tiger Mountain. As the Zither Soul, you belong to Dragon Tiger Mountain. Why are you so stubborn?"
Just like the usual style of Dragon Tiger Mountain, Daozi's face was full of righteousness when he said this. Unfortunately, Wu Yue, who was in the zither case, did not appreciate it. She scolded coldly, "Daozi once told me that life's troubles begin with literacy.
When I was born from the Fuxi Zither, I had consciousness, but I didn't have any thoughts at that time. It wasn't until I met the Daoist that I had thoughts and even feelings.
From then on, I had a worry in my heart that has been bothering me ever since … Why am I the Zither Soul? "
Wu Yue was controlling the white zither shadow that was on the verge of collapse. Her body had begun to blur, but her voice was very clear and firm.
She continued, "I don't want to be the Zither Soul, or rather, I don't want to just be the Zither Soul. That's why I left Dragon Tiger Mountain with the Daoist. From that day onwards, Wu Yue was Wu Yue, no longer the Zither Soul!"
At this moment, the young Daoist in front of him suddenly interrupted, "Nonsense!
You were born from the Fuxi Zither. To you, the Fuxi Zither is like a parent. If you don't become the soul of the Zither, you will be humiliating your mother and killing your father! "
Under his angry rebuke, Wu Yue was silent for a moment, then he laughed out loud.
"You're right, Fuxi Qin is indeed my parents, but so what?
It gave birth to me, so it wants to imprison me inside forever? "
Wu Yue's voice was very cold as he continued, "Besides, what does this have to do with your Dragon Tiger Mountain?"
Daozi's face was full of anger. Just as he was about to answer, Wu Yue seemed to not want to listen at all. He suddenly continued, "In ancient times, there was Nezha who caused trouble in the sea. He cut his flesh to return to his mother and removed his bones to return to his father. From then on, there was no more connection.
Since the Fuxi Zither gave birth to Wuyue, then today, Wuyue will return the Fuxi Zither Soul to the Fuxi Zither! "
Hearing this, Daozi did not react for a moment. He thought that Wu Yue would no longer resist and said in surprise, "You finally understand?
Then you … "
Before he could finish his sentence, Wu Yue suddenly let out a painful howl, causing my heart to tremble. I didn't know what was happening, so I hurriedly gathered the True Essence in my body and sped up.
When I walked in front of them, I raised my eyes and looked into the zither case. Only then did I realize that Wu Yue had let go of one of his hands. He was only using one hand to control the image of the zither in midair. His released hand was stretched to his other arm, forcefully tearing at the bright white lines connecting his arm to the image of the zither.
I didn't know what these lines were, but Wu Yue had only torn one, and his entire figure had dimmed. At the same time, he let out an even more painful scream than before.
Before I could understand what was happening, Li Chunxu's expression changed drastically. He shouted, "Wu Yue, you can't do this!
You are the soul of the Fuxi Zither. Tearing these soul veins is no different from suicide! "
After he spoke, Wu Yue's screams stopped. A moment later, she gritted her teeth and supported the image of the zither outside the zither case. She moved her lips and said weakly, "No, Wu Yue is just Wu Yue, not the soul of the Fuxi Zither … It's just like humans. His flesh and blood are bestowed by his parents.
I heard that in the story, Nezha cut off his arms and stomach, gouged out his intestines and bones, and returned it to his parents.
It's a pity that Wu Yue doesn't have a body of flesh and blood, so he can't cut off his arms and stomach, gouge out his intestines and bones. He can only sever this zither soul from himself. From then on, he will only be a pure Wu Yue … "
As her feeble voice faded away, she pulled at her left wrist with her right hand again, and another soul vein was severed.
This time, Wu Yue didn't even have much strength to scream, and his body became even more illusory. However, his eyes shone brightly, and he continued with a trembling voice. "Once I sever all my soul meridians, Wu Yue will only be a strand of soul, and I won't be the soul of the Fuxi Zither anymore. Even if you imprison me in the Fuxi Zither forever, this divine artifact won't be able to emit any more light!"
After saying that, she opened her mouth as if she wanted to laugh, but she didn't have the strength to do so.
I was still confused, but I vaguely knew what Wu Yue was thinking, so I was extremely anxious.
Just like me, the three Heavenly Masters of Dragon Tiger Mountain were also anxious, especially the Daoist. He was so anxious that he had already stopped pouring True Essence into the zither case. He walked around anxiously, but he seemed to be helpless against Wu Yue's actions.
Of course, they were different from me worrying about Wu Yue. They might only be worried about the Fuxi Zither. Just like what Wu Yue had said, she had severed her soul vein, and the Fuxi Zither Soul had disappeared. Even if Wu Yue was imprisoned in the Fuxi Zither forever, it wouldn't be able to make the Fuxi Zither shine again.
Looking at Wuyue's actions and listening to her words, I didn't know why, but I actually faintly supported her actions. But very quickly, this thought flashed through my mind.
At this moment, we were already in Chiyou's Skull Tomb. Wu Yue's husband, the Daoist, had yet to disperse. He should be anxiously waiting for Wu Yue ahead. Wu Yue had been waiting outside the tomb for a hundred years. The two of them were about to meet, so how could Wu Yue give up halfway?
Also, just like what the Heavenly Masters of Dragon Tiger Mountain had said, Wu Yue was the Fuxi Zither Soul. If she completely cut off her connection with the Fuxi Zither Soul, would she immediately disappear?
Didn't Ne Zha, who had wreaked havoc in the East Sea, lose his life after cutting off his flesh and bones?
Thinking of this, while the three people of Dragon Tiger Mountain were still in a daze, I quickly ran to the zither case and raised my head to shout at Wu Yue, "Senior, you don't have to do this. Daoist is still waiting for you ahead!
Now that the fatty has activated the Ten Terminal Formation, come with me. As long as we get rid of the people of Dragon Tiger Mountain, we can enter the cave ahead and meet Senior Daoist! "
The three Heavenly Masters of Dragon Tiger Mountain finally noticed me, but in their eyes, Wu Yue was obviously more important. After hearing what I said, not only did they not pay attention to me, they even nodded in agreement, especially the old Li Chunxu, who said loudly to Wu Yue in unison, "That's right, Wu Yue, even if you don't think for yourself, you have to think about Daoist back then."
"Daoist …" A faint smile appeared on Wu Yue's illusory face as she softly muttered the two words' Daoist '. After repeating it a few times, she turned to look at me and said, "Thank you for your help along the way, Mister Zhou. However, Mister Zhou, you don't have to persuade me. I've already seen Daoist's soul, and I've already comforted myself.
What's more, even without Daoist's existence, Wu Yue has long wanted to cut off her flesh and bones, and only be herself … "
After saying that, she looked at me in a daze, and a smile appeared on her illusory face. She continued, "Mister Zhou, if you can continue forward, when you see my husband, please bring him a message for me. Just say … Wu Yue can't be with him for a lifetime, but she will miss him for a lifetime.
If there's a next life for a remnant soul like Wu Yue, she'll definitely marry him like an ordinary couple … "
