Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1178 - 691: Deep Mountains and Yun Hai

After a long time, she fell into a deep sleep.

Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong.

Spring water flowed through the bamboo tube, dropping over the edge of a stone.... into the small pond....

A simple room, three wooden sliding doors, beneath her a low platform with floor mats on the wooden planks, the front door was open, facing an outdoor courtyard not too big or small, opening her eyes she could see the spring water ding dong....

Sui Yi lay on the mat, her fingers touching the soft warm cotton, she unconsciously frowned slightly. Where is this place?

After sitting up from the bed, Sui Yi noticed that the power of the Divine Rune within her had shrunk to the location of the dantian, a very dangerous, but just right place.

Obviously not under her control, but rather....

Sui Yi looked at the white scholar’s robe under her clothes, frowned, her clothes had been changed.

Next to her was a neatly folded outer robe.

Sui Yi picked up the outer robe, put it on, and walked out the door....

In the courtyard, the person sitting in the corridor had their back to her, looking up at the sky.

It was unclear what they were observing.

Sui Yi crossed her arms, leaned against the door, and watched the clouds and the blue mountains from outside the courtyard.

Uncertain of where this place was.

And this person...

Sui Yi didn’t speak, this person surely knew she was there, yet still didn’t speak, until a long time later.....

"You are as quiet as her, rarely speaking."

Shi Zhixuan was tapping a piece of bamboo, or more accurately, a short bamboo flute, it was evidently just made, quite stylish and rather carefully crafted...

Sui Yi glanced at the bamboo flute, "Without confirming whether the Evil King is awake, I’m cautious to speak."

Shi Zhixuan heard the words and lightly tapped the seat beside him with the bamboo flute: "Sit."

Sui Yi walked over, lifted her long robe, and sat down only to find this place had quite a view....

The view was vast, seeing grandeur, broadening the heart, distancing ambition.

The lands and heavens, were all within a single gaze.

"I know you are not her."

"Then why did the Evil King still bring me here?"

"Knowing now, does not mean knowing before."

Shi Zhixuan slightly curled his hand, spoke calmly: "Lu Miaozi did not deceive me, the Evil Emperor’s Relic was indeed useful to me, it made me more awake afterward.... bringing you, however, had nothing to do with my consciousness."

"I just didn’t want you to die."

Such a reason was something Sui Yi found herself both powerless and indifferent to blame him for.

The power of the Divine Rune within her abdomen was bound to the dantian, which was the handiwork of this person.

It was no small feat indeed.

"Thank you."

Shi Zhixuan neither accepted nor denied, continuing to craft the bamboo flute with his palm, he said: "The power inside you is exceedingly unique, and quite formidable, if I hadn’t seen it before, I might not have been able to suppress it even a little this time..."

Seen it before?

Sui Yi was astonished, then lowered her eyes, thinking that since she already owed him a life-saving debt, why care if she owed more?

But with regard to this person... she always had a reluctance to provoke and an apprehension.

It’s better to say it’s an apprehension towards the world.

"Since you already owe me your life, why ask me this question again?"

Yet the one who made her apprehensive directly confessed her restraint.

Sui Yi looked at Shi Zhixuan, noticing the conspicuous white at the sides of his temples from the side view,

Like the snow wedged in the cracks of the mountain rocks.

"Western Region Snow God Mountain"

Shi Zhixuan answered faintly with such an answer, which for Sui Yi was suffice.

This time Sui Yi didn’t thank again, but fell silent.

"Your nature is pure, will firm, yet extremes meet. Once captured by heart demons, they manifest more fiercely than others...."

Shi Zhixuan spoke and suddenly paused, as Sui Yi quietly watched him, as if saying, aren’t you the same? And even more serious than me, wronged your own wife.

Heart demon....

Seems like it’s indeed the case.

Truly an awkward gaze.

Shi Zhixuan cast a cold glance at Sui Yi, turned his face away, rose, the hem of his robe hung down, said: "To completely dispel heart demons, you need auxiliary treasures for tranquil heart and clear evil."

"The Evil King seemingly has a suggestion."

"Jingnian Zen Temple, He’s Jade"

Shi Zhixuan placed his hands behind his back, looking sideways at Sui Yi, his eyes were especially profound and unfathomable: "As far as I know, only it can help you, otherwise under the balance of these forces, not only can the Essence of Evil Emperor’s Relic not be absorbed by you, it will instead take the opportunity to invade your mind... Ultimately, perhaps you’ll become like me."

"Does the Evil King ever regret?" Sui Yi had long heard the tales between this man and Bi Xiuxin, regarded as the story causing countless in this world to sigh with regret and heartache, also marking the end of a pinnacle era.
