Chapter 1569: Jun as the bedrock, she as the reed; the Flower of Four Souls, turning the Boundary Sea

~7 min read 1,350 words

Originally, in a battlefield of this level,

Jiang Shengyi should have been completely unremarkable.

But now, the immortal light erupting from within her body illuminated the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain.

It was as if, in an instant, she had become the center of heaven and earth!

"Sister Shengyi?"

Jun Xiaoyao had been keeping his attention on his father.

Only at this moment did he turn his head to see the woman with blood flowing from her chest, smiling while tears fell.

Jun Xiaoyao's mind went slightly blank.

For a moment, he felt this scene was unreal.

It was just like a beautiful, desolate tragedy.

But the next instant, Jun Xiaoyao snapped back to reality.

His pupils trembled.

"Sister Shengyi, what are you doing?!"

Jiang Shengyi was smiling, completely disregarding the tearing pain in her chest.

Her fair hands had grasped her own heart!

"Xiaoyao, without me, there is still Jiang Luoli to accompany you."

"But, you only have one father."

"I do not want to see your remaining life filled with regrets, living in self-reproach."

"But..." Jun Xiaoyao's lips parted soundlessly.

Did Jiang Shengyi really think that in his heart, she was someone who could be replaced?

Without a hint of hesitation, Jun Xiaoyao stepped forward, descending toward Jiang Shengyi to stop her.

He would find his own way; no matter what, he did not want Jiang Shengyi to die for him.

But the next instant.

Jiang Shengyi exerted force with her palm, forcibly tearing her Twelve-Orifice Immortal Heart out from within her chest.

The immortal light was brilliant, surging incomparably, drowning Jiang Shengyi's slender, peerless body.

"Sister Shengyi!"

From the Immortal Domain side came Jiang Luoli's voice, like a cuckoo weeping blood.

At the same time, there were the members of the Jiang Clan.

There was also Jiang Shengyi's master, Li Xian, and the Yaochi Saint Lord and others.

One by one, their gazes trembled, their minds went blank, and tears fell uncontrollably.

"Why? Clearly, you had already escaped your fate; why did it have to be this way?"

Li Xian could not believe it, and could not bear to believe it.

Before, she had thought that Jiang Shengyi could finally escape the fate of the Western Queen Mother.

But looking at it now.

As expected, was everything just a cycle of fate?

Unable to break free, unable to escape.

Jun Xiaoyao's figure broke out from his Divine Spirit Incarnation, entering that patch of immortal light.

He cradled Jiang Shengyi's blood-stained body.

"Why... clearly there were other ways, you are..."

Jun Xiaoyao, holding Jiang Shengyi, did not know what expression to show.

"Xiaoyao, never be sad for me; this is the fate I am willing to bear."

"It... belongs to you..."

In Jiang Shengyi's hand, a heart surging with immortal radiance held boundless energy.

Jiang Shengyi pressed it toward Jun Xiaoyao.

"No..."

Jun Xiaoyao tried to stop her.

But that Twelve-Orifice Immortal Heart seemed to resonate with Jun Xiaoyao's Huanggu Shengti Dao Fetus.

It was as natural as merging into water.

Jiang Shengyi's Twelve-Orifice Immortal Heart gradually merged into Jun Xiaoyao's chest.

Even if Jun Xiaoyao used his power, wanting to repel it, he could not do so.

"Xiaoyao, do not resist; do you intend to reject my true heart?"

Jiang Shengyi revealed a blood-stained smile.

Her full head of white hair was also stained a desolate red by the fresh blood surging from her chest.

Jun Xiaoyao was silent.

This was a true heart!

It was the heart Jiang Shengyi had personally dug out from her own chest!

That seemingly bloody scene was the deepest expression of affection.

"But... we have only just finished the engagement banquet; I have not yet fulfilled my promise to you..."

Jun Xiaoyao's heart felt a faint, piercing pain.

At this moment, the blood on Jiang Shengyi's chest was as desolate and beautiful as peach blossoms!

"Xiaoyao... I said... no matter in what form, I will be in the place closest to your heart... accompanying you."

Jiang Shengyi's tone was intermittent; she felt as if her strength was fading away.

She became powerless.

Jiang Shengyi had fulfilled her promise.

She was truly in the place closest to Jun Xiaoyao's heart.

She had become Jun Xiaoyao's heart.

The power of the Twelve-Orifice Immortal Heart completely merged into Jun Xiaoyao's heart.

Jiang Shengyi existed in this form, never to be separated from him again.

Jun Xiaoyao could feel it; the power within his body was erupting vigorously!

The power of the Huanggu Shengti Dao Fetus surged like a fountain!

After obtaining the Twelve-Orifice Immortal Heart, Jun Xiaoyao's Huanggu Shengti Dao Fetus stepped toward the realm of perfection!

But...

Jun Xiaoyao, at this moment, did not care at all!

He only looked at the pale-faced woman before him.

"Xiaoyao... go and change this ending; your father, and everyone else, needs you..."

Jiang Shengyi's figure was still turning into specks of light rain.

Brilliant, beautiful, sorrowful.

Jun Xiaoyao wanted to grasp Jiang Shengyi's hand.

But he found he was only grasping empty air.

Jiang Shengyi's figure was fading bit by bit.

Jiang Shengyi parted her lips, her face holding both smiles and tears.

"Jun as the bedrock, she as the reed."

"The reed is tough as silk, the bedrock does not shift."

No need for thousands of words.

A single poem poured out the love and sorrow of Jiang Shengyi's life.

Jun Xiaoyao could not describe his feelings at this moment.

Even though he could feel the power surging from within himself.

But what of it?

With one person missing from his side, what does becoming an immortal matter?

And just at this time.

Suddenly, from Jun Xiaoyao's spatial artifact, something drifted out.

It was a flower.

This flower was from a long time ago.

The Ghost-Faced Empress had sent it to him across the long river of time.

Later, the Mother of the Other Shore Flower told Jun Xiaoyao.

This flower was named the Flower of Four Souls, containing a fused reincarnation mark.

It was a life-saving measure left for Jun Xiaoyao by the Ghost-Faced Empress.

It was for the sake of Jun Xiaoyao in the future, even if he encountered a life-and-death tribulation.

He could use this flower to retain a glimmer of life.

But now.

Jiang Shengyi, with her own death, had sublimated Jun Xiaoyao.

This flower emerged on its own.

The reincarnation mark within it also emerged, incomparably brilliant, merging into Jiang Shengyi's body.

"This... the Flower of Four Souls, could it be..."

Jun Xiaoyao's eyes shook!

This was the life-saving trump card the Ghost-Faced Empress had given him.

Now, it was being used on Jiang Shengyi.

But see, on the Flower of Four Souls, four petals drifted down.

And within Jiang Shengyi's gradually dimming Primordial Spirit light.

Four soul light spots emerged.

They could also be seen as Primordial Spirit marks.

They each merged into the four petals.

Afterward, these four petals drifted into the void, falling toward a distant world.

"That direction is... the Boundless Boundary Sea!"

Jun Xiaoyao looked toward the place where the four petals were drifting.

It was exactly the direction of the Boundless Boundary Sea!

And the Boundary Sea world, in terms of scope, was even broader than the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain!

It was a world filled with endless mystery and splendor!

In terms of world level, it was actually no weaker than the Immortal Domain.

It was even broader than both the Immortal Domain and the Foreign Domain!

"Is this... a kind of reincarnation?"

Jun Xiaoyao murmured to himself.

When he turned his head back.

He found that his arms were now empty.

If not for the Flower of Four Souls, Jun Xiaoyao would now be filled with sorrow and grief.

But now.

In his heart, there was a glimmer of hope.

He also believed that the measure left by the Ghost-Faced Empress would surely allow Jiang Shengyi's four souls to successfully reincarnate.

Therefore, Jun Xiaoyao had to survive this Dark Turmoil.

He had to go to the Boundary Sea, personally retrieve Jiang Shengyi's reincarnated four souls, and find his lover! ===== CHAPTER 1570 =====
