Upon hearing that Liu Lanyan's matter had gone smoothly, Mo Yun's face showed a relaxed smile.
"It seems the people of the Immortal Realm can't wait any longer." Mo Yun said, while placing a dish that was a little further away into Liu Lanyan's bowl so that she could eat more.
"Hmm." Liu Lanyan nodded, agreeing with the Demon God's words while eating, "They really spared no expense in sending out these people."
Thinking of the strength of those two people, Liu Lanyan still felt lingering fear. If she hadn't forcibly used that hidden power, something really bad would have happened this time.
No matter what, she can't become someone who holds back the demon god.
Trying to capture her to threaten the demon god is a mistake.
"How did you go to such lengths?" Mo Yun asked casually, but where Liu Lanyan couldn't see, Mo Yun's arm tightened slightly, clearly nervous about what Liu Lanyan was about to say.
"Immortal Souls." Liu Lanyan's voice involuntarily turned serious as she mentioned this. "Do you know about Immortal Souls in the Immortal Realm?"
Ordinary people may not know, but the demon god is no ordinary person, so he will definitely know.
As expected, Liu Lanyan was not disappointed. The Demon God nodded affirmatively: "I know. The secret power of the Immortal Realm is not known to outsiders."
Well, neither the person who said it nor the person who heard it realized how casually they could talk about the secrets of the immortal realm that were unknown to outsiders.
"This time, we sent the Immortal Soul." Mo Yun said with great certainty. The only way to make the Thirteen Fiends of the Dark Night suffer losses and Liu Lanyan end up in this state is through the secret power of the Immortal Realm.
"Mm." Liu Lanyan nodded.
"The Immortal Realm has really gone all out." Mo Yun agreed with Liu Lanyan's statement. It seems that the Immortal Realm is indeed eager to deal with the Demon Realm.
Or to be more precise, it's about dealing with this demon god.
Only after he is eliminated will the demon realm be opened up, and only then will it lose its most important barrier.
He truly hadn't expected the Immortal Realm to use Immortal Souls right from the start; he had miscalculated.
Fortunately, Liu Lanyan was not seriously injured; otherwise, the consequences... he really couldn't imagine.
Just then, his hand was suddenly grasped. He looked up and saw Liu Lanyan's worried eyes. He smiled at her and said, "It's alright, I'm fine, aren't I? It's good that things are like this now. Knowing the bottom line of the Immortal Realm will allow us to prepare better in the future."
Mo Yun frowned slightly and whispered, "I'd rather not have better preparations later than have you go through all this."
Sensing the solemnity and deep worry in the Demon God's voice, Liu Lanyan held his small hand tightly to comfort him, while quickly changing the subject, not wanting the Demon God to spend too much energy on this matter: "It's not just about the immortal soul."
"Not just the Immortal Soul?" Mo Yun looked at Liu Lanyan strangely. The most secret power in the Immortal Realm is the Immortal Soul. What else is there besides the Immortal Soul?
Liu Lanyan looked at Mo Yun and said, word by word, "The immortal soul has gained consciousness."
Chapter 119 Urgent
"Consciousness?" Mo Yun seemed not to understand what Liu Lanyan meant at first. After staring at Liu Lanyan for a long time, his eyes suddenly widened, and he exclaimed, "Consciousness?"
"How can a celestial soul have consciousness?" Mo Yun frowned in disbelief, trying hard to think.
In his understanding, immortal souls could not possibly have consciousness. Those immortal souls were merely people from the immortal realm using the power of immortal souls to temporarily enhance their own abilities.
It can also be considered a secret weapon of the immortal realm.
In battles or other situations, it can unexpectedly enhance the power of the immortal realm.
It can be said that, for the immortal realm, the immortal soul is nothing more than a weapon.
How could consciousness possibly arise in that case?
If a celestial soul were to gain consciousness, would it still obediently follow orders?
You must know that immortal souls are the remnants of the souls of powerful people in the immortal realm in the past. Would such high and mighty people willingly be used as tools?
Mo Yun looked at Liu Lanyan with a puzzled expression. Since it was her who said it, she must be right. He just couldn't figure it out.
Liu Lanyan chuckled softly, playing with the spoon in her hand: "Have you ever heard of—body snatching?"
Mo Yun's body trembled violently, and he exclaimed in a low voice, "The Immortal Realm is actually..."
Mo Yun swallowed the rest of his words, lowered his eyes slightly, seemingly lost in thought, and remained silent.
Mo Yun remained silent, while Liu Lanyan continued to eat at her own pace. Of course, she needed time to digest this.
"It seems that the existence of the demon realm has already posed a great threat to the immortal realm, otherwise the immortal realm would not be in such a hurry to take action." Mo Yun's silence lasted much shorter than Liu Lanyan had expected.
Liu Lanyan gave the Demon God a strange look, causing Mo Yun to raise an eyebrow slightly: "What's wrong?"
His analysis just now was perfectly correct.
"It's nothing, it's just strange that you accepted it so quickly, knowing that the Immortal Realm uses immortal souls to possess other beings." To be honest, even she was surprised.
The dignified immortal realm actually resorts to such low-class and vicious methods. Is this really the immortal realm?
"What's so strange about that?" Mo Yun said with a sneer. "I've known for a long time that the Immortal Realm isn't as clean as it seems on the surface; it's full of hypocritical scoundrels."
"If the Immortal Realm were truly as aloof and detached as it appears, how could there have been the great chaos that engulfed the Three Realms a thousand years ago?"
When it comes to this, Mo Yun is the most qualified to speak. If it weren't for him back then, who swept across the Three Realms with the power of the Dustless Sword, the chaos in the Three Realms would probably have continued, and how could we have the peaceful life we have today?
"My silence and surprise just now were simply because I was wondering how the Immortal Realm could allow immortal souls to have the consciousness to possess another body." Mo Yun frowned as he mentioned this.
Even if it's about possession, the soul needs to have its own consciousness before it can automatically want to take over a body.
What he understood was that the immortal soul had no consciousness at all; it was merely an energy body that could be manipulated by the immortal realm.
An energy entity without consciousness cannot possess another's body, even if one wanted to.
"If there's no consciousness, can't it be cultivated?" Liu Lanyan said softly from the side. She was talking about a very heavy topic, but she was eating slowly, as if she were talking about the weather, which made Mo Yun's eyes flicker.
"Cultivate?" Mo Yun didn't understand at first, then realized, "You mean, someone consciously cultivates the consciousness of the immortal soul..."
"If that's the case, then the Immortal Realm's ambitions are far too great." The more Mo Yun thought about it, the more terrifying the things the Immortal Realm was doing seemed.
Why do we cultivate the consciousness of the immortal soul on ordinary days?
Those powers are like weapons that have been sealed away. When they are taken out to be used, they will naturally increase the strength of the immortal realm, but only by a small amount.
If those powers were to develop their own consciousness and successfully possess another's body, the number of powerful beings in the Immortal Realm would immediately double, adding countless experts.
If this continues, the power of the Immortal Realm will reach a terrifying level.
He truly never imagined that the Immortal Realm would accomplish such a thing over a thousand years.
"I just want to know how the Immortal Realm gives consciousness to immortal souls." Liu Lanyan felt inexplicably uncomfortable when she mentioned the Immortal Realm.
If the immortal souls of the celestial realm were to truly develop consciousness, then the demon realm would likely be in serious trouble.
If the demon realm is in trouble, the demon god will inevitably be affected and will be the first to suffer.
Mo Yun didn't care much about that; what he cared about was Liu Lanyan's situation.
"How did you win back then?" He only got vague information from An Yi's letter and understood that An Yi and the others had no way to observe it at the time, so he had to ask Liu Lanyan himself.
"How did you win..." Liu Lanyan's eyes were somewhat confused when she mentioned this, and her head was throbbing slightly.
Her memory was somewhat hazy.
After leaving the barrier, she remembered that her body was extremely weak, and the power that had been buried deep within her body, which she usually feared, was beginning to stir.
Then, I remember that they seemed to have controlled the attacks of the immortals and even forced out the true form of the immortal soul.
at last……
Liu Lanyan frowned deeply, reached out, and gently patted her forehead twice with her palm. Her head hurt so much…
I only remember that she seemed to have said something to those two immortal spirits, but what exactly was it?
I can't remember.
Liu Lanyan pressed her temples with her fingers, where they were throbbing. There were clearly some images in her mind, but why were they veiled by a thin veil?
Make it so she can't see clearly.
However, she clearly remembered that the immortal soul had already developed consciousness and was not a puppet that could be manipulated at will.
Liu Lanyan tried hard to recall, only to find that she couldn't remember anything at all.
It seemed that due to her extreme physical weakness, she was able to sustain herself entirely on instinct. When she regained consciousness, she was already in a simple farmhouse.
Therefore, she could not answer the demon god's question.
"No need to think about it anymore, I understand." Before Liu Lanyan could speak, Mo Yun had already easily solved the problem; he didn't need an answer.
Liu Lanyan glanced at the Demon God in surprise; things seemed shrouded in mystery.
"You know about my past," Liu Lanyan said confidently.
"Yes." Mo Yun didn't intend to hide anything and nodded affirmatively.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Liu Lanyan asked in confusion.
"Because...wouldn't it be more meaningful for you to think about it yourself?" Mo Yun smiled, not with his usual fake gentle smile, but with a genuine and tender smile, his eyes filled with deep affection, an affection that could drown one in.
Liu Lanyan stared at the demon god for a long time without saying a word. Finally, she turned her head, picked up a piece of fresh fish with her chopsticks, and put it in her mouth: "I will remember."
Mo Yun simply smiled and did not reply.
Actually, he really wanted to tell Liu Lanyan, "Remember it, remember it quickly!"
Everything I experienced before is an indelible memory, so how could I forget it?
"Let's not talk about that now. Get some rest today, and we'll go back to Wuchen Residence tomorrow." Mo Yun didn't dwell on the matter and wanted Liu Lanyan to rest first.
Regardless of how she won, her current physical condition is very bad.
Liu Lanyan nodded without any objection. She understood her current situation and knew she absolutely needed to rest.
Not to mention that Liu Lanyan and the others can gradually recover their health, which is a minor issue, it is a major issue for the Immortal Realm.
The Celestial Venerable looked at the Confucian Venerable with a puzzled expression, asking what was going on.
The Confucian Master shook his head helplessly. He didn't know either, but His Majesty had been in a bad mood for the past few days.
Although His Excellency usually doesn't show much expression, in the last two days, they could all feel the gloomy aura emanating from him.
