Chapter 503: Three Parties Appear, the Truth of Equilibrium

Wangzhe nodded: "I know your intent. Your friend has suffered a rare soul trauma—he forcibly acquired partial Lun Hui memories without preparation, causing his past-life and present-life memories to mix, making them indistinguishable."

Wangzhe pointed to the flowing river water nearby: "The Wangchuan Realm is part of the Lun Hui System; all life must wash away their past-life memories here before reincarnation. If not for this, the obsessions and memories of past lives would bring unimaginable burdens to a new life."

Lin Xuan suddenly realized: "So the reason Muerxiu fell into chaos is because he retained memories he shouldn't have?"

"Exactly so." Wangzhe nodded, leaning on his staff to tap the ground lightly, "Follow me, I will take you to a place that can heal him."

Lin Xuan carried Muerxiu's soul on his back and followed Wangzhe along the riverbank. Along the way, he curiously asked about the secrets of the Wangchuan Realm.

"What are these light spots floating in the river?"

"Every light spot is a fragment of a memory or a soul." Wangzhe explained, "When a life ends a cycle and prepares for reincarnation, their memories are washed away in the Wandering River and turn into these light spots. Most light spots eventually dissipate in the waters of the Wandering River, but particularly intense emotions or obsessions sometimes form more stable light spots that drift for a long time."

Lin Xuan was thoughtful: "Then every light spot here was once the memory of some life?"

"Not only that." Wangzhe smiled mysteriously, "Some memories represented by these light spots can be traced back to the era when the universe first opened, containing ancient secrets. It was here that Taijizi discovered the secrets of the origins of the Void Sovereign and the Nature God Monarch, which gave him the inspiration to found the Taiji Dao."

Walking into the depths of the Wandering River, the river channel gradually narrowed, and the scenery on both banks became even more bizarre. On the bank grew a kind of glowing silver vegetation with strange forms.

Finally, they arrived at a river bend where a small pavilion built of silver-white stone stood; in the center of the pavilion was an ancient well, its rim carved with mysterious Runes.

"This is Mingxin Jing, capable of separating disordered memories." Wangzhe pointed to the ancient well and said, "Immerse your friend in the well water; it can separate his chaotic memories and help him recover clarity."

Lin Xuan looked at the ancient well and felt a surge of energy: "Is there anything I need to be careful about?"

Wangzhe's expression became grave: "This process is extremely dangerous. The water of Mingxin Jing can separate impurities from the soul, but if handled improperly, it could lead to the total collapse of the soul. More importantly, you must be careful of those memories or consciousnesses that do not belong to him."

Wangzhe leaned on his staff by the well and whispered: "Let us first check the condition of his soul."

He took a silver Rune tablet from his bosom and gently placed it into the well. The well water immediately rippled, and a projection of Muerxiu's soul appeared on the surface, with fine lines of light weaving through the projection, outlining his soul structure.

"As expected." Wangzhe pointed to a purple-black energy mass in the center of the projection, "Do you see it? This is an external consciousness fragment, a mark left by the Void Sovereign. It is precisely this that has been affecting your friend's judgment, making him firmly believe that awakening the Void Sovereign is the correct choice."

Lin Xuan's face was grave: "How do I remove this mark?"

"You must remove this mark first before you can proceed with the subsequent purification." Wangzhe retrieved the Rune tablet from the well, "You possess the Taiji Three Origin Power, which in theory can neutralize the energy of this mark. But you must be extremely cautious; the slightest carelessness will not only harm Muerxiu's soul but may also alert the remnant will of the Void Sovereign."

Under Wangzhe's guidance, Lin Xuan carefully placed Muerxiu's soul on the well platform and began to exert the Taiji Three Origin Power. Three-colored light condensed at his fingertips, which he gently pressed onto Muerxiu's brow, penetrating deep into his soul with the special frequency of the Taiji Resonance method.

Lin Xuan's consciousness entered Muerxiu's mental world along with the energy. It was a scene of chaos here, with countless memory fragments flashing randomly—some were fragments of the present life, others were ancient memories from reincarnation. In the deepest part, that purple-black consciousness fragment was exuding an evil aura, devouring Muerxiu's mental energy like a parasite.

"With Taiji Power, lead the Three-Origin Resonance, purify the evil!"

Lin Xuan condensed the Three-Origin Power, carefully wrapping it around the mark, and began to separate it slowly. The mark seemed to sense danger and began to struggle violently, releasing bursts of purple-black energy fluctuations in an attempt to resist the separation process.

Lin Xuan remained unmoved, maintaining a steady output of Taiji Three Origin Power, weakening the connection between the mark and Muerxiu's soul bit by bit. As the connection weakened, the mark's struggle grew increasingly feeble, until it was finally separated completely and firmly wrapped by the Three-Origin Power.

"Success!" Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and began to bring this mark out of Muerxiu's mental world.

The moment the mark was completely removed, a powerful mental shock suddenly swept across the entire Wangchuan Realm! A massive purple-black vortex appeared in the distant sky, radiating a heart-palpitating pressure.

"Not good!" Wangzhe's expression changed drastically, "It is the will of the Void Sovereign! It sensed the mark being removed!"

A muffled voice came from the vortex: "Taijizi... it is you again... interfering with my plans..."

Lin Xuan stood by Mingxin Jing, still firmly controlling the purple-black consciousness fragment in his hand, looking at the vortex in the sky with a grave expression: "The remnant will of the Void Sovereign; it seems we have alerted it."

Wangzhe quickly set up several layers of Rune protection around the well platform: "The will of the Void Sovereign cannot directly enter the Wangchuan Realm, but it can establish a connection through this mark. We must purify Muerxiu as quickly as possible, then leave this place!"

The sky of the Wangchuan Realm became distorted and unstable, the purple-black vortex continuously expanding, within which a vague, massive figure vaguely emerged. The figure seemed to be composed of the Void itself, its outline constantly changing, with only a pair of purple eyes exceptionally clear, looking down at Lin Xuan and Muerxiu.

Powerful pressure descended from the sky, causing the entire Wangchuan Realm to tremble. The memory light spots in the river fled in panic, like fireflies in a storm.

"The will of the Void Sovereign..." Shouwangzhe's expression became unprecedentedly grave, "This should not happen; it should not be able to manifest such a clear form in the Wangchuan Realm."

Lin Xuan still held the purple-black consciousness fragment separated from Muerxiu's body tightly, watching the anomaly in the sky vigilantly: "What exactly is going on?"

"Although the main body of the Void Sovereign is dormant, its will can still briefly awaken under specific conditions." Shouwangzhe explained, his voice carrying obvious worry, "When its mark is forcibly removed, it will attract its attention. Moreover, the Taiji Three Origin Power within you is also one of the reasons it is attracted—Taijizi almost stopped its plans back then."
