Capítulo 1539: Chapter 1540: A Scheme
After searching everywhere, the trio finally landed at the Tranquil Pool and began their search for the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring.
Xiao Fang placed Lin Yifan by the pond’s edge, and then dove alone into the dark depths of the pool to search.
Before long, she came across the corpse of the kind old man who had once treated her generously with care.
Now, she felt little emotion towards the old man. However, in terms of gratitude, she truly owed him a lot. But that’s another matter entirely, not to be confused.
On the old man’s corpse, she found the once dazzling and striking Seven-Colored Immortal Ring.
Even in the dark pool, its brilliant colors couldn’t be concealed.
The Seven-Colored Immortal Ring glimmered brightly, as if sensing Lin Yifan’s presence.
It’s a pity that without cultivation power, Lin Yifan couldn’t summon the slumbering Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor, nor could he make the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring automatically detach from the Medicine Saint’s finger, rise to the surface, and fall into his hands.
Arriving here was initially to find the Immortal Ring, so after collecting her thoughts, Xiao Fang began to remove the ring from the old man’s corpse.
Soon after, she emerged from the water.
Seeing Xiao Fang safely surface holding the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring, Lin Yifan and Xuji True Master by the pond breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the people are safe and the ring is found, it’s all good.
“Yifan! Take it!”
Xiao Fang straightforwardly handed the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring to Lin Yifan.
With An Qi’s life at stake, she couldn’t afford to be careless.
With the ring back in hand, Lin Yifan felt a mix of joy and unease.
Now devoid of cultivation power, he didn’t know how to enter the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring to meet the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor.
However, there exists something extremely miraculous—thought.
Lin Yifan didn’t know if his thoughts could detect the presence of the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor, but he had no choice but to try.
So he closed his eyes, released his thoughts, and attempted to sense the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor.
“Whoosh!”
Before long, he entered the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring and saw the true form of the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor, marvelously.
It should be noted, his physical body hadn’t entered—what entered was his consciousness. This means that later, without cultivation power, he could still perceive the situations within the Immortal Ring.
“You young fellow, why haven’t I heard from you since you whispered to me ten days ago?” the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor asked.
If Lin Yifan hadn’t called him, he would have continued to sleep, for he is but a solitary spirit, one who has disappeared from this world. With every second exposed he dissipates a little more, so he dares not be exposed within the ring for too long.
This was also why he couldn’t actively aid Lin Yifan during the battle of life and death ten days ago.
“Immortal Emperor, I was in a coma for ten days and couldn’t respond to you, causing you concern,” Lin Yifan replied.
Ten days ago, when passing the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring to the Medicine Saint, he had instructed the ring not to act rashly, to wait for his call.
But unexpectedly, his inner sounds couldn’t be conveyed, leaving the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor to wait in vain.
“Oh? Why were you in a coma?”
“A black orb did it.” Lin Yifan went straight to the point without wasting words.
“Black orb? What is this thing?” the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor continued to inquire.
“Strangely, it’s sinister, able to enter a person’s body, supplying cultivation power, enabling cultivation, and withstanding the trials of the Power of the Great Dao. My past achievements were thanks to it. Now this black orb has left me and taken my girlfriend, quite peculiar, hoping the Immortal Emperor could help solve this mystery—what exactly is the black orb?”
“Are you sure it entered your body and coexisted peacefully?” the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor asked.
“Absolutely sure! It entered my heart like a parasite, coexisting peacefully. We both got what we needed—it used me for cultivation, I used its cultivation power to handle external troubles,” Lin Yifan replied.
“What is your girlfriend’s constitution?”
The Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor’s brows furrowed tighter, already anticipating a dreadful consequence.
“I heard it’s the Extreme Yin Jade Body. How did the Immortal Emperor come to realize my girlfriend’s body is unusual?”
Lin Yifan was extremely curious, for very few knew of An Qi’s special constitution, and as the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor had been secluded within the ring, it was unlikely he would know; so he was keenly interested in how the Immortal Emperor sensed An Qi’s uncommon constitution.
“It’s bad! He has found the one he’s looking for and is just waiting for you to make contact.”
With a look of shock, the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor seemed to have seen something terrifying, utterly afraid.
“Immortal Emperor, you must know the origin of this black orb? What exactly is it?”
Lin Yifan appeared urgent, deeply wanting to uncover the mystery.
“It is the Yin Spirit Bead, formed from the world’s yin energy, capable of integrating with all yin attributes,” the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor explained.
“Why did it abduct my girlfriend?” Lin Yifan pressed further.
“This is all by his instruction; the setup has long been made.”
The Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor grew increasingly troubled, realizing that individual had recovered fully and now knew where the descendants of the Sun God resided.
“What instruction? What setup? Who is he?”
Lin Yifan became more bewildered, not understanding what the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor was murmuring about.
“He is your father’s greatest enemy in life, the source of turmoil in the Realm of Longevity!” the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor answered.
“Senior, who exactly is he? Give me a name.”
Lin Yifan was urgently anxious, understanding little about what the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor feared.
“Once you reach the Realm of Longevity, you will naturally know the answer. Anyway, the later you know, the better it is for you,” the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor replied.
“Why say that?”
“Because he’s always been searching for you, by all means.”
“This is all his setup?”
Suddenly, Lin Yifan recalled the series of events before.
From unintentionally picking up the black orb, to being repeatedly saved, harmed by it, to having to leave the army and return to the city.
From the moment of blood recognition, the orb entering his body, providing cultivation power, to going all out to save An Qi from a car accident, to assisting in every way possible in his growth, accruing fame and power step by step.
He felt the black orb was using him, restoring its power, until complete.
The events from ten days ago just happened to verify this point.
Because if the black orb truly obeyed him entirely, it wouldn’t have abducted An Qi; it fully had the power to heal her, no need to flee, leaving this world.
It’s terrifying, the more he thought, the more Lin Yifan realized the world wasn’t as simple as he had imagined.
From the moment he was born, perhaps he was destined to bear great responsibility.
“Exactly! It couldn’t be coincidental—he anticipated all this long ago.” the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor confirmed.
