Chapter 132: Jiang Xun and Jun Tianling Arrange to Meet at the Fairy Pavilion
"If it weren't for me, let alone killing that woman, it's not even certain you'd still be alive right now."
Jiang Xun looked at Jun Tianling and said.
Upon hearing this, Jun Tianling crossed her arms and let out a cold snort: "I ask you, two thousand years from now, what exactly is our relationship? You seem very familiar with me?"
"... Actually, I'm not familiar with you; I should say I've never even met you."
Jiang Xun shook his head and said.
"Then how do you know the Heavenly Net Soul-Urging?"
Jun Tianling frowned and said.
"Can I say that? Doesn't it involve karma? If the Heavenly Dao strikes me down, I won't be able to withstand it."
Jiang Xun said with lingering fear.
"Lost your nerve?" Jun Tianling sneered.
"Nerve? Anyway, this is your body, what do I have to be afraid of?" Provoked by Jun Tianling, Jiang Xun looked up at her: "Si Yuyan taught it to me."
"Si Yuyan taught you?" Jun Tianling was surprised to hear this: "Si Yuyan is my Artifact Spirit, how could she have followed you? Could it be that I'm already dead two thousand years from now?"
"You founded a sect called the Void Sect. One thousand years later, the Void Sect was besieged by the Ten Great Sects, and you went missing. Si Yuyan lost her memory and thought she was you. When I went to explore the Void Sect, I found Si Yuyan's soul and body, and the Soul Suppressor was in her hands at the time."
"Void Sect? Amnesia? A body? Si Yuyan has a body?"
Jun Tianling was completely bewildered.
"Yes," Jiang Xun nodded.
"... She thinks she's me? And I founded a sect? What is all this? Why would I found something as troublesome as a sect?"
"Do you know Tang Ying?" Jiang Xun asked upon seeing this.
"Who? I don't know them." Jun Tianling shook her head.
"You even became Dao companions with Tang Ying."
"Tang Ying? That name sounds like a woman's name, don't talk nonsense." Jun Tianling frowned and said.
"Hmm?" Hearing this, Jiang Xun was instead confused: "You don't like women?"
"Are you looking for a beating?" Jun Tianling looked at Jiang Xun with murderous intent: "I am a woman, how could I possibly like women?"
"Wait, what the hell?" Jiang Xun's eyes widened upon hearing this.
Jun Tianling and Tang Ying aren't Dao companions??
What the hell does this mean?
Huh?
Could Tang Ying be, perhaps, Si Yuyan's, Dao companion?
Don't say it, you really shouldn't say it!
Looking at the way Si Yuyan looks at Jun Tianling, maybe she really does like women!
A reasonable deduction: Jun Tianling already said she wouldn't found something as troublesome as a sect.
So, Jun Tianling likes men, and Si Yuyan likes women.
Si Yuyan fell in love with Jun Tianling.
Jun Tianling found it absurd.
So Jun Tianling crafted a body for Si Yuyan and found her a Dao companion.
That Dao companion was Tang Ying.
Then Si Yuyan founded Xuwang Mountain, and to strengthen Xuwang Mountain, Si Yuyan used Jun Tianling's name.
And so, she became the Demon Venerable Jun Tianling.
To solidify this identity, Jun Tianling taught Si Yuyan the Heavenly Net Soul-Urging.
As for Jun Tianling herself, after finishing these matters, she retired, left Xuwang Mountain, and has been missing ever since.
Maybe two thousand years later, right now, Jun Tianling is somewhere!
If this is the deduction, then two thousand years later, everyone believes Si Yuyan is Jun Tianling.
Then the things Lin Feng said about Jun Tianling and Tang Ying, and what Cao Zhangqing said about seeing Jun Tianling and how she looked, were all referring to Si Yuyan.
But why was the Soul Suppressor in Si Yuyan's hands?
Could it be that without the Soul Suppressor by her side, Si Yuyan couldn't possess a physical body?
But logically, once an Artifact Spirit has a physical body, they don't need to rely on the sword body, it's just that if the Artifact Spirit is with the sword body, they can exert maximum power.
Perhaps because of this, Jun Tianling gave the Soul Suppressor to Si Yuyan?
Jiang Xun didn't just think these things to himself; he told them all to Jun Tianling.
Upon hearing this, Jun Tianling also lowered her head in thought.
Then she spoke: "I won't hide it from you... I really do feel that Si Yuyan likes me."
This was undeniable, which is why she tried to avoid excessive verbal communication with Si Yuyan, and even began to regret shaping the Artifact Spirit into Si Yuyan's likeness in the first place.
At the time, she thought that as a woman, it would be more convenient to have a woman by her side, so she made a female Artifact Spirit...
Now it seems, if she had known, she would have made a male one.
"If it's as you say, I indeed might have done such a thing—find her a woman, let her stop pestering me, and then leave myself to enjoy some peace and quiet."
"You became a Saint, and then you just went off to enjoy peace and quiet?" Jiang Xun asked upon hearing this.
"I never thought I could defeat a Supreme; being a Saint is the final pursuit of my life. Now that my wish is fulfilled, I want to travel this world properly." Jun Tianling nodded.
"You really have no ambition; I'm even more certain you aren't the later Demon Venerable." Jiang Xun curled his lip and said.
"Actually, it's very simple to know the truth. Two thousand years from now, we'll meet, and everything will be clear."
Jun Tianling looked at Jiang Xun and said.
"That makes sense." Jiang Xun nodded upon hearing this: "It is currently May 31st, 4025 of the Ning'an Era. On June 1st, come to Tianji City, the Fairy Pavilion, Yangui Pavilion to find me. If nothing goes wrong, I'll be able to see you tomorrow."
"June 1st, Tianji City, Fairy Pavilion, Yangui Pavilion." Jun Tianling repeated these keywords, and for fear of forgetting, he simply took out a piece of talisman paper and wrote them down.
"I'll put it in the first slot of my Storage Ring, so I can see it every time I open it; that way, I shouldn't forget."
Jun Tianling said.
"Good idea." Jiang Xun nodded.
"Then, shouldn't you be going back? How will you be able to return?"
Jun Tianling looked at Jiang Xun and asked.
"Let me use Soul Suppressor for a moment." Jiang Xun reached out his hand and said.
Jun Tianling tossed Soul Suppressor to Jiang Xun, and then Jiang Xun tried to activate the Formation on Soul Suppressor.
The next moment, the Formation emitted a red light that enveloped Jiang Xun.
Jiang Xun vanished right in front of Jun Tianling.
Soul Suppressor also dropped to the ground.
When Jiang Xun opened his eyes again, he was already back in his own small room.
He was still sitting cross-legged on the bed.
He sensed his Spirit Power; it had truly been drained, and now only a tiny bit remained.
It was truly strange; although a portion of Spirit Power also resided in the soul, most of it was clearly in his body, so for the power in his body to be drained was a bit absurd.
And what was even stranger was that he hadn't taken out Soul Suppressor at all this time, yet he had still been transported to Jun Tianling's side; could it be related to his previous use of Soul Suppressor?
Unable to figure it out for the moment, Jiang Xun took out a Soul Returning Pill and swallowed it to restore his Spirit Power.
Looking up, it seemed that Lin Qingwan had made a floor bed under the bookshelf so as not to disturb Jiang Xun's cultivation.
Seeing this, Jiang Xun got up, picked up Lin Qingwan, and gently placed her on the bed.
This girl was sleeping quite soundly and did not wake up.
After settling Lin Qingwan, Jiang Xun used his Crimson Wings to fly toward Tianji City; once the sky brightened, it would be June 1st.
