Wang Lin calmly watched all of this. There were no ripples in his heart, and there was no joy or sorrow in his eyes.
Inside the ancestral hall, the two girls' faces were filled with panic and helplessness, especially the younger sister. Her body was trembling as she tightly hugged her older sister. It was as if this was the only way she could feel safe.
"Big sister, I'm scared, I'm scared …" The little girl's voice trembled as she tightly gripped her older sister's clothes. Even her fingers were white.
Yao Bingyun's face was pale as she hugged her younger sister. The fear in her eyes had reached its limit. She knew that what awaited them was something even more terrifying than life and death!
Before the two girls sat an old man. He was wearing a blood-red robe and had red hair and eyebrows. He looked extremely old, but when he opened his eyes, there was a soul-stealing light in them.
"As members of my Yao family, for the glory of the Yao family, you two must become the soul of the artifact!"
As the old man spoke, he raised his right hand and made a grabbing motion in the air. Immediately, there was a tearing sound as a thirty-foot crack appeared in the space before him. A chilling wind blew out from within, and within the wind, an ancient oil lamp slowly flew out.
The oil lamp gave off a blue flame. As it burned, there was no heat, only endless coldness.
The oil lamp slowly floated out and landed in the air between the two girls and the old man. At that moment, the flames on it immediately became more intense. They flickered between bright and dark, and the embers scattered toward the two girls at the same time.
"This item is the treasure of my Yao family. The fire on it has never been extinguished since the Celestial Realm was created.
It symbolizes the fire of life!
"However, 500 years ago, the fire showed signs of extinguishing. The Old Man calculated for a long time and finally found the reason.
"The soul of the artifact is about to dissipate, and the moment it completely dissipates, the fire will be extinguished …" Thus, the Old Man spent 300 years to slowly extract a portion of the artifact's soul and fuse it with the most outstanding members of my Yao family. After 200 years, the two of you were born!
This is your fate. You can't avoid it. You were born to become tool souls! "The old man's voice was calm.
The moment he finished speaking, the flame on the oil lamp that was floating in front of him burned even brighter. As it burned intensely, it turned into a cloud of fire.
As the fire cloud moved, it turned into a demonic creature. This creature had two horns on its head, and its body was incomparably large. As it gave off a fiery glow, it charged out!
"Ancient Demon!!" Seeing this, Wang Lin's Spiritual Force trembled.
The demonic creature that appeared from the flames was an Ancient Fey!
As soon as the creature appeared, the entire ancestral hall was enveloped in fiery Demonic Qi. The Demonic creature opened its mouth wide and lunged toward the two girls.
"Sis!!"
The little girl holding onto her sister's clothes immediately cried out in fear. Even Wang Lin couldn't help but be shaken by the fear in her voice.
The older sister's face was deathly pale, and the fear in her eyes had reached its limit. She was afraid, very afraid. This kind of fear was something she had never felt before.
Seeing the demonic creature charging toward her, the older sister was immersed in fear and involuntarily took a step back!
As her older sister retreated, her younger sister's body was in front of her. The demonic creature swallowed her in one gulp and forced her to shrink back.
A ripping sound could be heard as the older sister's garments were ripped to shreds by the younger sister's hands …. "Big sister … save me … save me …." Miserable cries filled the entire ancestral hall, but as the Demonic creature began to consume her, the cries stopped.
The older sister sat on the ground with tears in her eyes. She bit her lower lip so hard that blood flowed out. Her eyes were filled with regret as she crawled up and ran toward the demonic creature.
"Little sister, little sister, give me back my little sister. Come and devour me, devour me!!!"
The demonic creature twisted its body and returned to the oil lamp, disappearing without a trace. The flame of the oil lamp suddenly grew stronger and emitted a bright light. However, it was clear that a girl was struggling in pain within the flame.
"Big Sister … Big Sister …"
The old man who was sitting to the side and witnessing all of this had a strange look in his eyes. He waved his sleeve and pushed the older sister to the side. The old man stared at the flame of the oil lamp and gradually, a smile appeared on his face.
"Who would have thought, who would have thought … that only one person would be needed to become the soul of the weapon. Forget it, since that's the case, I'll spare your life!"
The older sister looked as if she had lost her soul. Her eyes were empty as she stared at the oil lamp. The regret on her face was like a tidal wave that completely drowned her.
"Little sister … I didn't do it on purpose. I really didn't do it on purpose … The one who should have been devoured was me … my little sister …" Tears streamed down Yao Bingyun's face nonstop. Her body trembled, but at that moment, she was no longer afraid. There was only endless regret.
"I shouldn't have retreated … Before my mother left, she told me to take care of my little sister, but I didn't do it … I shouldn't have retreated …" Yao Bingyun stared at the oil lamp with a miserable expression. She bit her lip and knelt on the ground while crying, "Grandpa Ancestor, I, Yao Bingyun, am willing to become the spirit of the weapon. Even if it's for my entire life, even if it's for ten thousand years or ten thousand years, I'm willing. I don't have a single word of complaint. I just beg you, Grandpa Ancestor, please release Dream Clouds and exchange her for me. Let me become the spirit of the weapon.
I beg you, I beg you, I beg you … "Yao Bingyun's face was covered in tears as she kowtowed nonstop. Blood had already trickled down the center of her brows, but she did not care about it and continued begging. There was a shock in her voice that would cause others to be unable to remain calm, and her actions caused even Wang Lin to fall silent!
The cries reverberated throughout the ancestral hall, and even reached the ears of Yao Yun, who was outside. Yao Yun's eyes were bloodshot at this moment. He was on the verge of roaring as he struggled to his feet. He wanted to rush into the ancestral hall, but just as he was about to rush into the ancestral hall, a wave of energy exploded out from within the ancestral hall. Yao Yun coughed out a mouthful of blood, and with a bitter smile on his face, his body was flung out.
"The Yao family is going to die!"
The old man cast a glance at Yao Bingyun, who was kneeling on the ground and begging. Her shrill voice crawled into his heart, and the old man could not help but fall silent. A hint of confusion, which was rarely seen, appeared in his eyes.
However, just as this confusion appeared, he immediately suppressed it. His right hand reached out and the oil lamp appeared in his hand. He calmly said, "This is Yao Mengyun's fate, and I have no intention of changing it!"
As he spoke, he placed the oil lamp into the fissure. With a wave of his sleeve, the fissure immediately closed up and disappeared.
"Little Sister!!!"
Yao Bingyun raised her head to look at the gradually disappearing crack and let out a mournful cry that she had never let out before. This cry was like an impact that affected the dao that Wang Lin had fused with and almost caused it to collapse.
"Little Sister, you have to be strong. You have to be strong and wait for Big Sister. I still haven't bought you candy, I still haven't taken you to find Mom … Little Sister, you have to be strong and wait for Big Sister to save you!
Little Sister, Big Sister will definitely, definitely come to save you. This is my promise, this is Big Sister's promise! "
As the mournful impact spread, everything that Wang Lin saw collapsed. The ancestral hall was no longer there, the oil lamp was no longer there, the old man was no longer there, the crack was no longer there. Everything turned into fragments, just like the void from before, the storm that had formed, everything collapsed!
The only thing that remained was the person kneeling on the ground, her eyes filled with regret and coldness … Yao Bingyun!!
"If anyone can save my little sister, I, Yao Bingyun, will serve that person for all eternity. Even if I have no conscience, as long as I can save my little sister, I … am willing!!
I have no regrets!! "
Her mournful voice echoed throughout the world, revealing Yao Bingyun's determination, but even more so, her helplessness!
Wang Lin's divine sense was impacted, and he personally felt Yao Bingyun's domain to confirm his own dao. At the same time, Yao Bingyun's dao was revealed to Wang Lin.
The image of the two little girls leaning against each other remained in his mind for a long time.
"I … can …"
Yao Bingyun, who was kneeling on the ground, raised her head as if she had heard something, but in the end, her body gradually disappeared.
As everything collapsed in front of him, Wang Lin let out a soft sigh.
Gradually, another scene appeared in front of him.
It was under an ice mountain. Yao Bingyun's appearance was that of an adult. She was sitting cross-legged under the ice mountain, staring ahead, her eyes filled with deep sorrow.
"Little sister, even if I have no emotions, no feelings, even if I become a person with a cold heart, I will never forget you. You have to be strong and wait for me!"
Tears flowed down from the corners of Yao Bingyun's eyes, but she didn't wipe them away. Instead, she closed her eyes and began to cultivate for the first time. The forbidden technique of the Yao family, the Secluded Deity Mantra!
This technique severed all emotions, severed everything. When cultivated to the great success stage, one would become extremely cold, and cultivate the Dao of Emotionlessness!
"Cultivating the Dao of Emotionlessness with a loving heart …" Wang Lin let out a sigh. At this moment, he had completely seen through Yao Bingyun's Dao Heart!
"Her Dao Heart is her little sister's, and she cultivates the Dao of Emotionlessness, not the glory of the Yao family's ancestor …" Wang Lin's figure appeared beside Yao Bingyun. He looked at Yao Bingyun and shook his head.
"Forget it, I can break this woman's Dao Heart, but …" Wang Lin glanced at Yao Bingyun before his figure dissipated.
On the peak of Mount Heng Yun, Wang Lin opened his eyes and raised his right hand. He let out a sigh and said, "You chased after me and helped me achieve a breakthrough. I guess we have settled the karma."
Wang Lin flicked his sleeve, causing the seal on Yao Bingyun's body to vanish. She then flew up into the air.
Up in midair, Yao Bingyun slowly opened her eyes, which were filled with confusion. She stopped in place and looked at Wang Lin, who was sitting cross-legged on the peak of Mount Heng Yun. A complicated expression appeared in her eyes, and after a long moment of silence, she softly said, "Do you believe in reincarnation …? Years ago, in the Yao family's ancestral hall, I heard someone tell me … that he could … was it you?"
