Chapter 216 I Have a Golden Boat
The shape, color, and shimmering details of this pillar of light were remarkably similar to the pillar of light that Mu Xiaoqing had warned him not to touch lightly in the Soul Realm.
Mu Xiaoqing had told him that day that this was a passage connecting the Soul Realm to all other realms.
For some reason, Bao Yuheng became convinced that this thing was the ladder to the celestial realm.
Luo Sifan, recalling the various actions of the Soul Realm, looked at the Heavenly "Immortal" lying on the jade bed. Its face resembled Bao Yuheng, so it must also be a Soul Realm seed that was parasitized by Bao Yuheng and was born from a split soul.
Unexpectedly, ten thousand years ago, a seed of the Soul Realm had already descended to Yunzhou and taken inhabited a human body.
"Bao Yuheng! I'm so glad to see you again!"
The Soul Seed on the jade platform opened its eyes, met Bao Yuheng's gaze, and spoke in a cold tone.
After slumbering for thousands of years, this Seed of the Soul Realm remained expressionless, showing neither joy nor sorrow.
"You're finally awake! I did as you said and removed your mental block, and it really worked!"
Bao Yuheng had cultivated for ten thousand years, yet he still could not control his joy.
With the awakening of the Soul Realm Seed and the reopening of the Heavenly Ladder, Bao Yuheng had been planning and enduring for thousands of years, waiting to climb the Heavenly Ladder again and cross over to become a true immortal. How could he not be happy?
"Who is he?"
The Son of the Soul Realm rose from the jade bed, his eyes sweeping over the sleeping Jiao Qiaoniang before stopping on the embarrassed Luo Sifan, and he frowned.
Losfan's expression disgusted it, and there was something about him that it found repulsive.
"That's how it is..."
Bao Yuheng, beaming with pride, explained his ingenious scheme of erasing his mental obstacles to the Soul Realm Child.
For thousands of years, Bao Yuheng has used the treasures of the Immortal Tomb as bait to attract wave after wave of cultivators from the East to the Immortal Tomb. Any male cultivator with good looks is lured into the illusion to meet Jiao Qiaoniang.
Finally, they met Luo Sifan, who won the hearts and minds of Bao Yuheng and Jiao Qiaoniang.
Bao Yuheng accepted this cuckold's horns willingly, without any further hindrance. The resentment that had tormented him for tens of thousands of years seemed to have vanished completely with it.
Ten thousand years ago, Bao Yuheng confessed his love to Jiao Qiaoniang but was rejected. Then he saw Jiao Qiaoniang flirting with a handsome guest in Qiaoyifang. He went berserk, and the seed of the soul realm that was pregnant in his soul burst out of his body. He slaughtered thousands of people in Fushan Town and abducted the souls of thousands more to escape into the mountains of the Northern Plains of the East.
Confined here, ten thousand years will pass in the blink of an eye.
The person is gone, and the emotional entanglement is hard to overcome. After years of cultivation, the Son of the Soul Realm finally summoned the ladder to heaven. However, Bao Yuheng's resentment was so strong that when he knocked on the door to question his heart, his mind was in great turmoil, and he was obsessed with worldly thoughts. Not only was he rejected by the ladder to heaven, but he also caused the Son of the Soul Realm to be seriously injured and fall into a deep sleep.
The Child of the Soul Realm listened to Bao Yuheng's explanation without finding it strange, and nodded slightly in agreement.
After all, these two brothers share the same soul and have too many similarities in temperament and thoughts.
“Bao Yuheng, during the days I was asleep, you continued to cultivate diligently and made significant progress. Once my realm stabilizes, your journey to the Immortal Realm will be a hundred times smoother.”
After praising Bao Yuheng, the Son of the Soul Realm turned his attention to Luo Sifan:
"However, you must still be cautious on the path to immortality. This person and Jiao Qiaoniang can no longer stay on this Ascension Platform! Lest they cause any trouble when you ascend to immortality."
Bao Yuheng, eager to ascend to immortality, obeyed all orders. After giving Luo Sifan a few instructions, he cast a spell, and Luo Sifan, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, returned to Fushan Town, with Jiao Qiaoniang sleeping soundly on the jade bed beside him.
Lin Qianxiu, wielding a large spear, was irritably dashing around Fushan Town, trying to break through the town's barrier. Sensing the disturbance, she flew over.
"Lin Xiaozhi!"
A cold jade bed suddenly appeared beside Luo Sifan, the life or death of the person on the bed unknown. Lin Qianxiu gave a light rebuke and flashed over.
"It was her."
Jiao Qiaoniang, lying stiffly on the jade bed, was pale and still looked fearful. Lin Qianxiu recognized her at a glance.
Luo Sifan recounted to Lin Qianxiu everything that Bao Yuheng had seen and heard after abducting him, without omitting a single detail.
"This madman, he wants to marry you off his sister-in-law who died ten thousand years ago, and he wants this godforsaken place as her dowry?"
Lin Qianxiu sensed something was wrong; if she were trapped in Fushan Town from now on, she didn't know when she would be able to escape.
"It's hard to say whether this woman is dead or alive."
Luo Sifan's hand caressed Jiao Qiaoniang's body. A chill seeped into her bones from the jade bed, but her skin was still elastic and showed no signs of decay.
Luo Sifan was used to strange occurrences in the Soul Realm, but he really couldn't be sure whether Jiao Qiaoniang was alive or dead.
The words Bao Yuheng gave him before leaving clearly showed his deep affection for Jiao Qiaoniang, treating her like his own sister. Surely he would have some means to bring her back to life?
The two of them worked together to place the heavy jade bed into Zhiyifang, then sat down in a daze.
In the entire town of Fushan, apart from the two of them and Jiao Qiaoniang, whose fate was unknown, there was not a single living creature; it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Lin Qianxiu was unwilling to entrust her life to the magnanimity of Bao Yuheng, a madman. She took out the brocade pouch and tried the Mingjiao swim bladder bone and teleportation array talisman one by one, but there was no response. Frustrated, she stomped her feet back and forth in Zhiyifang, thinking of a way to break free from the confinement.
Luo Sifan was so dizzy from her swaying that he had to stand up and pull her to sit down.
"You can marry your ghost wife and live a happy life here. Don't interfere with my escape!"
Seeing him so relaxed and carefree, Lin Qianxiu was furious and struggled to get up.
Luo Sifan naturally had his own way of escaping, and he pressed Lin Qianxiu back into her chair:
"Qianxiu, have you forgotten? I still have the Soul Realm Golden Boat. With its power to break through realms, leaving here shouldn't be difficult."
Lin Qianxiu couldn't possibly forget Luo Sifan's story with Mu Xiaoqing in the Soul Realm. She just focused too much on the main point and overlooked the part about the golden boat.
"Then hurry up and take it out!"
Lin Qianxiu remembered this incident and, amidst her surprise, playfully scolded him.
Luo Sifan glanced at the sleeping Jiao Qiaoniang, then raised his hand and released the golden boat, which filled the Zhiyifang Hall to the brim and just managed to stop.
Luo Sifan was already familiar with the art of navigating a boat, but his spiritual energy was insufficient before due to his lower cultivation level.
Now that his soul is perfected, he has long surpassed other cultivators of the same realm, and his Foundation Establishment realm has reached its peak. He manipulates the array symbols on the golden boat with ease.
As for the direction to go, Lin Qianxiu gritted her teeth and said:
"go home!"
Having been humiliated by Bao Yuheng in the Immortal Tomb without any power to fight back, Lin Qianxiu was terrified of being trapped there. She reported the location of the Lin family's ancestral mountain, wanting only to leave this hellish place as soon as possible.
The results of the trials for the most outstanding talents are far less important than one's own life.
Luo Sifan finished setting things up and was about to call Lin Qianxiu to board the golden boat when a loud voice rang out from outside Zhiyi Workshop:
"Brother-in-law!"
Bao Yuheng, that guy, has returned again, appearing out of nowhere.
Luo Sifan quickly put away the golden boat and gave the furious Lin Qianxiu several meaningful glances.
"Senior! Qiaoniang and I are both in the shop."
Luo Sifan responded politely, as he dared not treat Bao Yuheng, this ancient monster, as his brother-in-law.
Bao Yuheng strolled in slowly and saw Luo Sifan sitting sideways by the jade bed, seemingly waiting for Jiao Qiaoniang. He was quite pleased.
As for Lin Qianxiu's lingering anger, Bao Yuheng also found it amusing.
He knew perfectly well that the sibling relationship between the two was fake. It was fine that Luo Sifan was having affairs everywhere; the thought of Jiao Qiaoniang's long days of burning jealousy and resentment secretly made Bao Yuheng somewhat happy.
Jiao Qiaoniang tormented him her whole life; it's time for her to taste the bitterness he endured.
