After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 331 The Great Sage of the Spirit Void

On the other side, after Li Xiaoyi unleashed that dazzling sword light, a pure white ball of light shot out from Xue Ling's body and then merged into He Yu's body.

Watching the Blood Spirit disappear into the black vortex in the distance, He Yu breathed a deep sigh of relief, then slowly said to Li Xiaoyi under her scrutinizing gaze, "I know you have many things to ask me, but there are some things I need to tell you first."

“This child is the next World Spirit of the Yuan Yang Realm that I have chosen. He will accept all the gifts I leave behind. You don’t need to worry about me taking over his body. Besides, my time is running out.”

Why didn't you continue being a World Spirit?

“Few people in the Yuanyang Realm remember me anymore. My life as a Realm Spirit has come to an end. Furthermore, because of my greed, the Yuanyang Realm has suffered such a great calamity. I am not worthy to be its Realm Spirit.”

"How do I get back?" Li Xiaoyi asked after a moment of silence.

“I don’t have the ability to send you back right now, but soon a powerful demon will come and take away the True Blood Heavenly Palace. Dongling has already agreed to let it send you back.”

"Dongling?"

"It's the Azure Dragon that was fighting the Blood Spirit. It's one of the four guardians of the True Blood Heavenly Palace."

Furthermore, I have already asked Dongling to retrieve the demonic spirit blood from the bodies of all humans within the Yuanyang Realm. I hope that when you return, you can instruct your sect to show mercy to the people of the Yuanyang Realm; they are not heretics among the human race.

"That's not something I can decide, but if they don't have spiritual blood in their bodies, I think the sect shouldn't make things difficult for them," Li Xiaoyi replied earnestly.

“The Yuan Yang Realm has the ability to absorb the Yuan Qi in the void and condense it into Yuan Stones. Restoring the Yuan Yang Realm’s Yuan Qi environment will greatly benefit your sect. However, this matter requires the cooperation of the Realm Spirit.”

"I will convey this matter to the sect's higher-ups."

"Do you know how the person who came with me is doing? He was with a white crane," Li Xiaoyi asked with some concern.

"Indeed, someone appeared on the final battlefield, and it was the box he threw that ended the battle. However, his condition may not be good. Blood Spirit projected its spirituality into his soul at the last moment, so he is probably in grave danger."

"What did you say!" Li Xiaoyi's heart skipped a beat, her heart almost stopping, and she clutched her chest, struggling to breathe.

She knew that Shen Xu's soul was in very poor condition, and if his soul were attacked by the Blood Spirit again, how could he possibly survive?

"He's fine, he just needs to sleep for a while." Just then, a hazy blue figure appeared beside the two of them.

Along with it came Shen Xu's sleeping body, and the white crane standing beside him and Qi Ling.

"Shen Xu!" Li Xiaoyi immediately came to Shen Xu's side, knelt down beside him, and reached out to cover his forehead to examine his soul state.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she sensed that Shen Xu's soul was still very weak, but showed no signs of deterioration.

"What happened?" Li Xiaoyi frowned and asked the figure in blue in a cold voice.

"As Yuan Yang said, his soul was corrupted by the spirituality of the Blood Spirit, but his soul has the ability to completely devour that spirituality. And eating too much naturally requires a period of digestion," the cyan figure patiently explained.

“Xiao Yi, Shen Xu might be the legendary Soul Devourer. I wasn’t sure before, but after seeing the power of that box, I’m certain that the box in Shen Xu’s hand is that person’s box,” Yun Yao explained.

"Soul Devourer?"

“This matter is complicated. I’ll explain it to you slowly when we have time. If Shen Xu really is a Soul Devourer, the Blood Spirit’s spirituality can’t do anything to him, but he’ll be in big trouble. You must make sure he never reveals anything about his soul.” Yun Yao’s voice trembled slightly as if she had thought of something.

"Can I know the whole story?" Li Xiaoyi asked the two of them.

After some time, with the help of Yuan Yang and Dong Ling's accounts, although there were still many doubts, Li Xiaoyi managed to piece together a rough truth.

Five thousand years ago, the True Blood Heavenly Palace was stranded near the Yuan Yang Realm due to the schemes of the Blood Clan. It was then taken to the Yuan Yang Realm by the Yuan Yang Clan, who deliberately controlled the True Blood Heavenly Palace to smash the boundary gate. Due to the True Blood Heavenly Palace's deliberate cover-up, the Yuan Yang Realm completely lost contact with the True Origin Continent.

Because Yuan Yang was no match for Dong Ling, who controlled the True Blood Palace, he was imprisoned by Dong Ling within the True Blood Palace. However, when Dong Ling attacked Yuan Yang, the Blood Spirit, formed by the fusion of the remnant souls of many Blood Saints of the Blood Clan, corrupted Yuan Yang and successfully entered the True Blood Palace through him...

However, Yuan Yang did not completely lose her self-awareness. Instead, she continued to seek a way to break free by connecting with many ancient cultivators in the Yuan Yang Realm who had deep ties with her.

Finally, more than a decade ago, the first cultivator from the True Origin Continent entered the True Blood Heavenly Palace—Huo Yan!

However, Yuan Yang was in hiding at the time, and Huo Yan's arrival made Xue Ling realize that Yuan Yang had not completely disappeared. Therefore, she could not contact Huo Yan directly. As a result, Huo Yan was used by Xue Ling to inflict damage on Dong Ling that has not yet been fully healed.

While Xue Ling and Dong Ling were fighting, Yuan Yang took the opportunity to tell Huo Yan the truth, but Huo Yan had already been severely injured and was on the verge of death by Dong Ling's rage.

While she was still conscious, she immediately made a decision: she merged her remaining soul with Yuan Yang's spirituality and sent it to the outside world.

And that merged spirituality became the present-day Crane Feather.

As for what that letter was about, only the old man Shen Xu mentioned probably knows.

In the void, a vast, white ball of light floated silently in the boundless darkness, as if meticulously woven from thousands upon thousands of tiny rays of light. The faint glow it emitted, like a soft veil, quietly draped the surrounding space in an elegant white hue.

Although it was only a faint glow, it was just like the most dazzling star in the void. Even the bright stars around it seemed insignificant in front of this huge white ball of light, as small as dust.

This white ball of light has stood in the void for billions of years, like a unique and eternal monument, witnessing the passage of time and the changes in the universe.

It was surrounded by numerous tiny orbs of light of various colors. These orbs, whether near or far, all revolved slowly around the white orb.

Each tiny orb of light emitted a soft and enchanting glow, complementing the white orb in the center and together creating a magnificent picture.

Upon closer inspection, the brilliance of each tiny sphere of light was in no way inferior to that of the stars hanging in the distant sky.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared out of thin air near the white orb of light. Its gaze swept over the many small orbs of light surrounding the white orb, and then it vanished from its spot. When it reappeared, it had already traversed an unknown distance in the void.

"What brings the Great Sage Lingkong to my True Origin Continent?"

"You've come to take something from my clan; it has nothing to do with your human race," came the indifferent voice of the Great Sage Lingkong.

The figure in black robes frowned, then spread his hands, revealing the illusory image of the stars in the sky. After a moment, he spoke, "In that case, please, Great Sage, do not do anything unnecessary."

The Great Sage Lingkong ignored the figure in black robes and vanished from the spot.

"How could I not have noticed something so important? But the result is actually quite good. How strange!" The black-robed figure shook his head and then disappeared into the void.
