Chapter 368 - 362: The Dean’s True Identity
The eyes are the windows to the soul.
Through a person’s eyes, everything can be seen.
At this moment, the light emanating from sister-in-law’s eyes shows that she is still herself.
And not the first Rebirth Saint Mother from the legends who could rival the World Honored.
Just now, sister-in-law experienced the most dangerous moment of her life.
This moment was even more dangerous than when she was killed by the Ghost Mother.
Just now, the remnant soul of the first Rebirth Saint Mother fought for control over this body with her.
At that time, she was killed by the Ghost Mother but was revived coincidentally.
And just now, if she hadn’t guarded her mind.
Then the one who was revived would be the first Rebirth Saint Mother.
However, during the recent battle for the physical body, sister-in-law learned a shocking secret.
"Am I you?"
"Are you me?" Sister-in-law fell into contemplation, murmuring to herself.
The remnant soul of the first Rebirth Saint Mother failed in possession, and that deeply hidden memory remained in sister-in-law’s mind.
...
...
Mysterious World.
Countless years ago.
At that time, the World Honored had not yet reincarnated to pursue cultivation anew.
That era belonged to the World Honored and the first Rebirth Saint Mother.
If we say the first Rebirth Saint Mother was a deity nurtured by heaven and earth.
Then the World Honored was certainly a grassroots rise.
Above Tier Two, there is only the one.
In the Mysterious World, there can be only one Tier One.
At that time, regardless of whether it was the World Honored or the first Rebirth Saint Mother.
Both were at Tier Two Peak, just one step away from becoming the sole entity of this world.
Thus, the battle for supremacy between the two began.
It was a prolonged battle.
The World Honored defeated the old sect of the Mysterious World with his newly founded sect—the Rebirth Sect.
The Rebirth Sect was reduced to ruins, yet this battle left a hidden danger for the World Honored’s path to enlightenment.
Because the World Honored did not manage to eliminate the Rebirth Saint Mother, she escaped.
The sect was destroyed, defeated, and gravely injured.
The World Honored had an inexorable enmity with the Rebirth Saint Mother, burying a hidden danger for the World Honored’s first failed enlightenment.
The Rebirth Saint Mother went from being in the light to hiding in the darkness.
From then on, the World Honored’s sect thrived and became the most powerful force in the entire Mysterious World.
Time passed without knowing how many years, and the World Honored felt the time was ripe, so he prepared to attain enlightenment and become the one of this world.
The World Honored’s victory over the Rebirth Saint Mother was not due to luck or chance.
But rather, true strength.
Be it martial prowess, wisdom, vision....
The World Honored was undeniably the number one in this world.
While all the Tier Two Peak experts in this world strained their minds without finding a way to attain enlightenment.
The World Honored had already thought of three paths to enlightenment.
These three paths were divided into superior, moderate, and inferior strategies.
The superior strategy was the hardest, but after enlightenment, the strength was the strongest.
The moderate strategy was neither hard nor easy, and after enlightenment, the strength was moderate.
The inferior strategy was the easiest, but after enlightenment, the strength was also the weakest.
However, after all, it was the path to becoming the one. Even the weakest inferior strategy.
Once enlightenment was achieved, the World Honored could also become the ruler of this realm.
Everyone in this world would submit to him.
Yet, at that time, full of ambition, the World Honored chose the most difficult path to enlightenment.
Cutting the three corpses.
The World Honored subsequently severed the two corpses representing evil thoughts and obsession.
But just as he severed the good corpse representing good thoughts, the Rebirth Saint Mother appeared.
Although the Rebirth Sect was destroyed.
As long as the Rebirth Saint Mother was alive, this battle was not over.
Undoubtedly, everything would end today.
Tier One means being the one.
There is, and can only be one.
The overwhelming resentment made the Rebirth Saint Mother determined to stop the World Honored from achieving enlightenment.
The war lasted a long time, and in the end, the Rebirth Saint Mother was defeated by the World Honored once more.
The Rebirth Saint Mother sacrificed the World Honored’s obsession corpse and reincarnated with his good corpse.
Though defeated, the Rebirth Saint Mother achieved her goal.
She successfully disrupted the World Honored’s enlightenment.
Although the World Honored won, he lost two of the three corpses, missing the chance for enlightenment.
The chance to attain enlightenment by cutting the three corpses was shattered, and reluctantly, the World Honored could only choose the moderate strategy.
The moderate strategy was the method the World Honored now used.
Nine reincarnations, leaving behind nine mortal husks, and then, uniting the nine incarnations to become the one.
However, Lin Yuan destroyed one of the World Honored’s nine mortal husks.
Does it mean that now the World Honored still has the inferior strategy for enlightenment available?
...
...
However, thinking of this, sister-in-law stopped.
Sorting through these memories, she received an even more important message.
Years ago, the Rebirth Saint Mother reincarnated with the World Honored’s good corpse.
The remnant soul of the Rebirth Saint Mother, after countless reincarnations, became her now.
And the World Honored’s good corpse also went through countless reincarnations to become....
The current....
Dean.
As she absorbed this memory, sister-in-law’s heart skipped a beat, almost jumping out of her chest.
The dean is the World Honored’s good corpse.
Or one-third of the World Honored’s first life.
After learning this shocking secret, sister-in-law couldn’t sit still and immediately prepared to leave.
A few days ago, when she parted from Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan mentioned that he was going to find the dean to seek the way of constructing the Divine Country.
The dean is one-third of the World Honored’s first life; if Lin Yuan goes to the dean, isn’t he walking into a trap?
When sister-in-law didn’t know the dean’s true identity, she hadn’t thought of this much.
Now, in sister-in-law’s view, the dean’s efforts to cultivate Lin Yuan must have other intentions.
In other words, this might be the World Honored’s third method of enlightenment.
Could it be...
Is this third method of enlightenment designed to use Lin Yuan as a vessel?
Sister-in-law became increasingly terrified as she thought about it, suspecting that her guess was correct.
Lin Yuan is sister-in-law’s only hope, and she absolutely cannot tolerate anything happening to Lin Yuan.
If Lin Yuan were harmed, even against overwhelming odds, sister-in-law would fight to the bitter end.
She dared not think any further. With a raised hand, the Vermilion Red Coffin appeared, and Yang Chan and Yang Jing were enclosed within.
In the next moment, she vanished into the Well of Rebirth.
Leaving the Rebirth Sect ruins, sister-in-law dared not hesitate or delay for a second, rushing back to the real world.
Upon arriving in the real world, sister-in-law, as a top expert, was known to the Dragon Country’s leadership.
So, she entered Emperor Dragon City unimpeded.
After inquiring, sister-in-law learned that Lin Yuan was with Jian Bing.
Upon hearing that Lin Yuan was still alive, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It seemed it was not yet time for the World Honored to act against Lin Yuan.
At the moment, she couldn’t worry about jealousy.
Sister-in-law made her way directly to Jian Bing’s residence to find Lin Yuan.
She had to disclose this shocking secret to Lin Yuan.
