Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1425: The True Goddess of Ancient

Ye Yun’s face was full of gentleness. He reached out to wipe away the tears at the corner of Nangong Jade’s eyes and said with a smile, "I know you reincarnated onto the Cangnan Continent. Back in the Yao Guang Galaxy, your true body once told me..."

"My true body?"

Nangong Jade’s expression changed drastically. She looked at Ye Yun in disbelief.

Ye Yun’s heart tightened.

He suddenly realized something seemed to have gone wrong.

Seeing the change in Ye Yun’s expression, Nangong Jade guessed something, sighed, and said, "Brother Yun, what you saw wasn’t my true body, but my avatar. The one standing in front of you now is the real Goddess of Ancient..."

This Nangong Jade in front of him was real?

And the Nangong Jade in the Yao Guang Galaxy was fake?

Ye Yun was a bit stunned as well. He shook his head, smiled bitterly, and asked, "Little Nangong girl, what exactly is going on?"

Nangong Jade let out a faint sigh and said, "Brother Yun, that avatar was just something I left in the Divine Land to lure the Eternal Divine Hall. I had already prepared to sacrifice that avatar. Unexpectedly, she actually developed self-awareness. When my true body was extremely weak, she took the opportunity to break free from my control..."

"So that’s how it is..."

After listening to this, Ye Yun’s expression grew solemn. He recalled everything from that day within the Yao Guang Galaxy and nodded lightly.

That Goddess of Ancient had indeed given him a feeling he couldn’t quite describe.

Back then he hadn’t figured it out; now, hearing Nangong Jade say this, Ye Yun completely understood.

That Goddess of Ancient had indeed been somewhat flustered, but she concealed it very well and ultimately succeeded in deceiving him.

"That avatar of yours has already returned to the Ancient Realm. I’m afraid she’ll swagger about under your name, cheating others."

Ye Yun frowned, a trace of anger surfacing on his face.

"Her cultivation realm shouldn’t be higher than mine. As long as I’m given the chance to return to the Ancient Realm, I can naturally subdue her and devour her again!"

A cold light flickered in Nangong Jade’s beautiful eyes as she spoke with firm resolve.

"Little Nangong girl, since that avatar slipped away from my hands, I’ll go with you to the Ancient Realm!"

Ye Yun reached out, gently brushing aside a few strands of blue-black hair from Nangong Jade’s exquisite little face, smiling all the while.

Being gently caressed by her beloved, Nangong Jade’s heart surged.

She broke into a radiant smile, yet tears glimmered at her eyes as she sighed, "Brother Yun, then we’ll have to cultivate for a few more years before we can pass through the Yao Guang Galaxy..."

"Haha, that won’t be necessary—we can go right now!"

Ye Yun laughed loudly.

He had already crossed the Open Sun Galaxy and taken a trip through Eternal Hell.

How could a mere Yao Guang Galaxy possibly catch his eye?

Nangong Jade thought Ye Yun was joking with her, and she was moved even more deeply. Her tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Brother Yun, back then when we besieged the Dragon God Sect, I was forced into it as well..."

Nangong Jade said tearfully, her eyes brimming.

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and asked, "Who forced you?"

"The Nine-tailed Divine Dragon. He placed a restriction on me, forcing me to use the Ancient Demon Violin to drive the Ancient Giant Demons to besiege the Dragon God Sect. And I didn’t dare reveal my identity as the Goddess of Ancient—once exposed, he would probably have killed me..."

Nangong Jade spoke in a low voice, by now crying so hard she was a figure made of tears.

Even when she led thousands of troops and lost in the great war against the Divine Soil Spirits, she had never been this heartbroken.

But to go against her own heart, to drive the Ancient Giant Demons to besiege the Dragon God Sect—this had become a nightmare she could never dispel.

"So it was the Nine-tailed Divine Dragon..."

Ye Yun’s face turned gloomy, his gaze flickering like flames.

The Nine-tailed Divine Dragon, just like Fengmu’s true body, was actually another mastermind behind the destruction of the Dragon God Sect.

He imposed a restriction on Nangong Jade, forcing her to drive the Ancient Giant Demons to besiege the Dragon God Sect.

And for those Ancient Giant Demons to break free so easily from the suppression of the Eighteen Heavenly Iron Pillars was obviously also the handiwork of the Nine-tailed Divine Dragon.

"Heh, dragon and phoenix joining hands, bullying a mere little Dragon God Sect like this, all just to wipe out the Dragon Clan’s fortune inherited by the sect..."

Ye Yun sneered in his heart.

Without a doubt, there must be some unspeakable collusion between the Nine-tailed Divine Dragon and Fengmu’s true body.

Otherwise.

The Nine-tailed Divine Dragon wouldn’t stoop to being the forerunner, personally forcing Nangong Jade to drive the Ancient Giant Demons to besiege the Dragon God Sect.

The flames of anger in his heart slowly subsided.

Ye Yun was no longer the Ye Yun of a hundred thousand years ago.

After checking in for a hundred thousand years, having gone mad countless times in endless darkness, his Dao Heart had long become incomparably steadfast.

That dragon-and-phoenix pair of adulterers—sooner or later he would seize them and bring them to justice, torment them ruthlessly, and by no means allow them to die.

"Brother Yun, I’m sorry..."

Crying until her heart ached, Nangong Jade’s knees went weak and she actually knelt down.

"You’re a victim too, little Nangong girl—up you get!"

Ye Yun hurriedly helped Nangong Jade back to her feet.

"Little Nangong girl, didn’t you cultivate the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Path? How is it you still remember so many things from before?"

Ye Yun’s heart stirred. He fixed Nangong Jade with a half-smile.

Nangong Jade’s beautiful eyes lit up as she thought of something. Wiping the tears from her eyes, she asked softly, "Brother Yun, how do you know my puppet avatar cultivated the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Path? Could it be that the White Clad Sword Cultivator was actually you?"

"Puppet avatar?"

Ye Yun was stunned for a moment, then understood.

So.

The icy, cold Nangong Jade he’d met last time had only been Nangong Jade’s puppet avatar.

"Brother Yun, come with me."

Nangong Jade took Ye Yun’s hand, and in an instant they vanished from where they stood.

In the next moment.

Ye Yun saw mist all around, and within it appeared dozens of semi-transparent beads, each more than three meters tall. Inside every bead sat a cross-legged Nangong Jade.

"So many avatars..."

Ye Yun couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement. This little girl Nangong Jade had created so many avatars—what on earth was she planning?

"Brother Yun, right now my power in the Divine Land is limited, so I forged eighty-one puppet avatars. Each puppet avatar cultivates a different Divine Technique of the Ancient Clan. I did this in the hope of increasing my strength by such means, so I might avenge those clan members who died..."

Nangong Jade explained softly.

"Ai, you little girl, all these years you’ve only thought about revenge, but this bit of strength still isn’t enough..."

Ye Yun withdrew his gaze from the semi-transparent beads, shook his head, and smiled bitterly.

For the sake of counterattacking the Divine Land, Nangong Jade had indeed been continuously cultivating power, but in truth, the foundation she had accumulated so far was nowhere near sufficient.

Through all these years.

The various major forces in the Divine Land had thrived; Divine Emperor Realm experts were everywhere, and there were even quite a few at the God-Emperor Realm.

The remnant clan members of the Ancient Clan led by Nangong Jade were constantly hiding and fleeing. No matter how hard they tried, they could not rival the Sacred Land Divines.

This vengeance, she could not avenge.

"Brother Yun, I also know the Divine Soil Spirits have grown very strong these years. If I truly can’t take revenge, I’ll just find a way to return to the Ancient Realm first..."

Nangong Jade looked at Ye Yun, shrugged, and smiled helplessly.

"As for small matters like revenge, Brother Yun will help you take care of them!"

Ye Yun smiled casually, lightly patting Nangong Jade’s fragrant shoulder.

"Brother Yun..."

Nangong Jade looked at Ye Yun, hesitation in her expression, wanting to speak but stopping herself.

She didn’t dare say what came next, afraid of hurting Brother Yun’s pride.

Brother Yun was only at the Divine King Realm. Though his talent was extraordinary and his strength formidable, capable of battling across realms, how could he possibly be a match for those Divine Soil Spirits of the Divine Land?
