Chapter 357: That Was Once His Dao

On the third day after that great battle.

Above a jungle in the northern part of Fuchen Continent, a man tore through the Void Realm and fell straight into it.

Thud.

A loud crash echoed from the woods.

Several rabbits were so frightened they hid far away.

However, seeing the face-down creature remain motionless, they curiously approached, sniffing with their noses and gently patting it.

But when the creature suddenly moved, they quickly hopped far away.

The rabbits peered out from the grass and saw the man slowly stand up and lean against a tree.

The man’s face was Pale, as if he were suffering from kidney deficiency.

This man was Lin Xun.

In that great battle, one man had fought against nearly the entire top combat power of the Myriad Laws World; moreover, they had formed an array, merging their scattered forces into a single whole.

Lin Xun seemed to have won easily, but that was not the case.

With the Heaven and Earth Killing Array combined with nearly all the top combat power of the Myriad Laws World, Lin Xun was essentially facing the entire world alone.

This was definitely not an exaggeration.

Lin Xun seemingly only delivered nine spear strikes.

But in reality, these nine strikes had nearly drained Lin Xun completely.

Many might have thought Lin Xun’s injuries had healed.

But only Lin Xun knew that the great dao injury on his body was still extremely severe.

Truth be told, if Jiang Yuerou and Lament had chosen to act at the end…

Lin Xun felt that while he could have left, it wouldn’t have been so easy and graceful.

“If I were in the Spirit Refining Realm, it would probably be much easier,” Lin Xun coughed a few times and muttered to himself.

However, Lin Xun was just speaking in passing; he didn’t regret merging with the world’s Dao back then and suffering the backlash of the Great Dao.

If Lin Xun were to do it again, he would still choose to merge with the world’s Dao.

Because that was his pursuit at the time.

Besides, if he hadn’t merged with the world’s Dao, how could he have met Qinger again?

“Roar!”

Just as Lin Xun was about to sit and heal his injuries, a wild roar suddenly came from not far away.

Immediately after, Lin Xun felt the ground trembling!

“Roar!”

A Demonic Beast with the head of a bird and the body of a bear, standing ten meters tall, shattered a large tree in front of it with a single paw and came charging towards Lin Xun!

The Demonic Beast was called a Bird-Bear; it was naturally inclined to take advantage of others’ misfortunes and liked to hunt distressed creatures.

Sensing the flow within Lin Xun, the Bird-Bear was very excited; this was an extremely rare meal.

Lin Xun knew he must have been targeted by this beast the moment he fell.

The Bird-Bear opened its bloody maw and pounced toward Lin Xun!

Just as Lin Xun intended to release a strand of Spear Qi to kill it instantly and perhaps eat its meat to nourish his body…

Suddenly, a pair of black and white dragons descended from the heavens, directly piercing through the Bird-Bear’s body!

The black and white dragons were illusory dragons transformed from Dao Techniques; they struck the Soul rather than the physical body.

Thus, not a single drop of blood splattered from the Demonic Beast as its Divine Soul was instantly extinguished. It collapsed forward with a loud crash, sending fallen leaves and dust flying.

The black and white dragons dissipated, and a pair of black-and-white ink-colored lotus shoes lightly stepped onto the fallen leaves, standing before Lin Xun.

Looking up, he saw her wearing a black-and-white dress, appearing as if ink and water had met in a harmonious, rhythmic beauty.

Further up was a willow waist bound by a jade belt, her towering peaks making her slender frame seem even more delicate.

She looked down at Lin Xun with a faint gaze, her eyes showing no trace of joy or sorrow.

“It’s been a long time,” Lin Xun said with a smile, looking at the woman before him.

Mo Wenwen rested her Whisk on the crook of her arm and parted her lips slightly: “Not that long, only a little over a month.”

Since the two of them had parted in the Rootless Secret Realm, it had indeed been over a month.

“Did you see that Heaven and Earth Killing Array used against me?”

Lin Xun asked, feeling curious at the same time.

He didn’t think Mo Wenwen’s appearance was a coincidence.

However, he had been traveling through the Void Realm; how on earth did Mo Wenwen keep up with him?

“Heaven and Earth Killing Array?”

Mo Wenwen was taken aback at first, then her eyes brightened slightly, as if she understood the doubt in his heart.

“As I thought, that killing intent spreading through heaven and earth was directed at you. However, I didn’t see it; I just happened to be passing by and saw you suddenly fall.”

“I see… then, do you want to kill me?” Lin Xun looked into Mo Wenwen’s eyes.

Mo Wenwen tilted her head: “Why would I kill you?”

“Uh…”

Looking at Mo Wenwen’s blinking eyes and her innocent expression, Lin Xun suddenly felt he was being narrow-minded.

“I thought you might kill me so that no one would know about what happened between us.”

Hearing Lin Xun say this, Mo Wenwen’s eyes froze slightly.

However, the young girl still shook her head: “I won’t. I said that what happened back then has been settled between us.”

After speaking, Mo Wenwen stepped forward and placed a Yin-Yang Fish Jade Pendant in front of Lin Xun.

In an instant, a Magic Formation rose, and all the spiritual energy in the forest gathered toward Lin Xun’s body.

Not only that, but Mo Wenwen also sat cross-legged in front of Lin Xun, chanting incantations as a river of Dao Rhyme flowed around him.

Daoist Techniques—”Spirit Gathering Dao Array” and “Spirit Soothing Whisper.”

Both were top-tier Daoist auxiliary Spells.

Lin Xun felt the restless Spear Qi within his body gradually stabilize, and his spiritual energy was being replenished at the fastest possible speed.

Lin Xun meditated under that tree for two days and two nights, while Mo Wenwen guarded him for the same duration.

At dawn on the third day, Lin Xun opened his eyes, looking much better.

In contrast, however, Mo Wenwen’s face was slightly Pale.

Seeing Mo Wenwen’s Pale little face, Lin Xun felt a wave of guilt.

For two days, while he was resting, Mo Wenwen had been using “Spirit Soothing Whisper” for him without a moment’s rest.

“I owe you a favor, Miss.”

Lin Xun stood up and bowed to Mo Wenwen.

Without Mo Wenwen, Lin Xun felt he would have had to recover in this forest for a month before he could set off to return.

By then, it would be quite troublesome when Sister Mimi and Qinger found him missing.

Mo Wenwen shook her head: “Young Master Lin saved Wenwen’s life twice; Wenwen is merely returning the favor. Moreover, treating Young Master’s injuries this time is not enough to repay the debt of saving a life.”

“It’s enough,” Lin Xun shook his head.

“Whether it’s enough or not, Wenwen has her own considerations.” Mo Wenwen stood up and smoothed her skirt. “Since Young Master can take care of himself now, Wenwen shall take her leave.”

“Miss Mo is not returning to the Holy Land?” Lin Xun asked, looking in the direction Mo Wenwen was leaving.

“Not for now.”

Mo Wenwen shook her head.

“Master told Wenwen to travel the world. Before, Wenwen didn’t know where to go, but now, I suppose I have a place I want to visit.”

In fact, the young girl had one more sentence she hadn’t spoken.

That was, she wanted to go to the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

And starting from the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, she would visit one Sect after another.

Those Sects were the places that the Demonic Son, whose name made the world turn Pale, had once visited.

That was once his Dao.

She wanted to see his Dao.
