This woman, naturally, was Little Soul!
Hearing Little Soul’s words, a rare smile appeared on Ye Xuan’s calm face.
Regarding Little Soul reaching the Imperial Dao Realm, he was only happy and not scornful.
He didn’t treat Little Soul as a sword, but as his own sister.
And Little Soul had never thought of betraying Ye Xuan!
She had reached the Royal Dao Realm, but in her heart, Ye Xuan would always be the master.
Along the way, if it wasn’t for Ye Xuan, it would have been impossible for her to come this far, and most importantly, Ye Xuan treated her as a family member, and she also treated Ye Xuan as a family member.
The relationship between the two was not a sword and master at all, it was more like that of a brother and sister.
Ye Xuan gently rubbed Little Soul’s hair and softly said, “You are now at the Royal Dao Realm!”
Little Soul smiled proudly, “Little Lord, I am now very, very powerful!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, “In the future, Little Soul will cover me!”
Little Soul grinned, “Little Lord, I still have to absorb those soul powers for a bit, if you want to fight, call me anytime! I can fight many of them alone now!”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, “Good!”
Little Soul hugged Ye Xuan once again, then she returned to the Realm Prison Tower.
Ye Xuan glanced around, the netherworld was unusually cold at this time.
It was because all the souls had all been absorbed by the Soul Suppressing Sword!
In fact, he was not at all surprised that Little Soul was able to reach the Imperial Dao Realm.
When he was in the Dao Court, he had slaughtered countless powerful people in the Dao Court, and for every powerful person he killed, the Soul Suppressing Sword would absorb the other person’s soul, and now, it was absorbing the souls of the entire netherworld …….
Imperial Dao Realm!
Now that he had added the Soul Suppressing Sword, it couldn’t be said to be too easy to kill an average Royal Dao Realm powerhouse, but it wouldn’t be particularly difficult either.
Of course, this was far from enough for him.
Ye Xuan retrieved his thoughts and looked at Ah Yin, “Where are the other two volumes of Dao Scriptures?”
He did remember, there were two volumes of Dao Scriptures that were in this netherworld, and the real purpose of his visit to the netherworld this time was this Dao Scripture!
Ah Yin said in a deep voice, “One volume of the Dao Scriptures is on the Lord of the Netherworld, however, he has already been killed!”
Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed, at this moment, Nan Zang, who was on the side, suddenly said, “That volume of Dao Scripture, has fallen into the hands of the Dao Court!”
Ye Xuan looked at Nan Zang, who softly said, “The Netherworld Lord’s volume of Dao Scriptures was given to the Dao Court many years ago, and as far as I know, he used that volume of Dao Scriptures to make a deal with the Dao Court!”
Ye Xuan asked, “The Dao Scripture is so precious, why would he be willing to trade with the Dao court?”
Nan Zang shook his head, “Just because it was so precious, he had to exchange it. That Dao scripture was very important to the Dao court, and the Netherworld Lord was forced to give it to the Dao court!”
It was in the hands of the Dao court!
In other words, it was most likely in the hands of that Dao Ancestor!
Ye Xuan was silent for a moment before asking, “What about the other volume?”
Ah Yin said in a deep voice, “The eighteenth layer of hell!”
The eighteenth layer of hell!
That Dao Breaker!
Ye Xuan was silent.
He remembered that Maku Nian Nian had said that originally, Sister Nian wanted to kill the other party, and the reason why Sister Nian had this idea again was perhaps because of the Dao Scriptures!
Because Nian Nian knew that he would definitely continue to search for the Dao Scriptures, and that mysterious powerhouse from the Eighteen Layers of Hell was able to pose a threat to him, so Nian Nian had the intention to kill the other party, but Nian Nian gave up!
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan suddenly said, “San Sheng, Heartless, you guys stay here, I’ll make a trip to the Eighteen Layers of Hell!”
Upon hearing this, San Sheng’s face suddenly changed, “That place is dangerous!”
Ye Xuan softly said, “Sister Nian didn’t kill the other party!”
After saying that, the others disappeared in place.
On the side, Nian looked at San Sheng, “What does he mean?”
San Sheng said in a deep voice, “Maku Nian Nian …….That woman does things in a calculated manner, since she didn’t kill that person from the eighteen layers of hell, it means that that person won’t pose a threat to him.”
Ah Yin frowned slightly, “Just because of that?”
San Sheng nodded.
Ah Yin was speechless.
….
Ye Xuan arrived in the middle of the hell, which had eighteen layers, with one layer being more terrifying than the other.
And each layer held some evil ghosts that had done evil things in their lives, and these evil ghosts had to be tortured here.
Not long after, Ye Xuan arrived at the eighteenth layer.
The eighteenth layer of hell was gloomy and bleak.
Ye Xuan met a man, the man was chained by four pitch-black coloured chains, and underneath him, a flame was burning.
The Nine Ghostly Divine Flame!
It specialised in burning souls!
However, the man’s strength was simply too strong and powerful, and the power of this Nine Hells divine Flame could make him feel pain, but it could not burn him to death.
Ye Xuan looked at the man, there was no aura on the man’s body, he looked like an ordinary person.
Dao Breaker!
Ye Xuan walked towards the man, at this moment, the man suddenly raised his head, Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed as it was only at this moment that he realised that the man did not have eyes!
The man suddenly hissed, “Scram!”
Ye Xuan’s palm spread out, and in his hand, was the Heavenly Dao Sword!
Sister Nian’s sword!
At this moment, the man’s brows furrowed, “That woman’s breath ……..”
Obviously, what was being said was Maku Nian Nian.
Ye Xuan nodded, “Yes.”
The man was silent for a moment before saying, “She sent you here?”
Ye Xuan asked back, “Did she say anything when she came here?”
The man said, “She wants to kill me!”
Ye Xuan: “…….”
The man added, “However, she gave up again.”
Ye Xuan asked, “Why?”
The man did not answer.
Ye Xuan said softly, “I came here for that Dao Scripture!”
The man suddenly smiled.
Ye Xuan asked, “What is senior laughing at?”
The man laughed softly, “You have already stepped out of your own path, so why do you need to cling to the Dao Scripture?”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “One’s own path is a path, other people’s paths are also paths, there are ten thousand paths to the Great Dao, there is no need to cling to one.”
The man was silent.
Ye Xuan asked again, “Can senior give it to me?”
The man said, “Yes!”
After saying that, a black ancient scroll suddenly floated in front of Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan collected the scroll of Dao Scriptures, “Thank you, farewell!”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Just then, the man suddenly said, “She has already fallen. Right?”
Ye Xuan stopped and nodded his head.
The man said, “I admire her, not just her strength.”
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Senior, I’ll say a few more words, I hope you won’t be angry!”
The man said, “What do you want to say?”
Ye Xuan turned to look at the man, “Senior imprisoned himself here, I think he must have done something that he regrets, is that correct?”
The man was silent.
Ye Xuan added, “I have also done something that I regret for the rest of my life, but I won’t imprison myself because that would be hiding. A man, can be wrong, but he can’t run away, wrong is wrong! And running away, with all due respect, is cowardly behaviour.”
The man did not get angry, but said softly, “You have no idea what I have done! I killed my beloved, do you understand?”
Ye Xuan asked, “Why did you kill?”
The man’s body suddenly trembled, “Do you know what realm is above the Royal Dao?”
Ye Xuan shook his head.
The man said, “Above the Royal Dao is the Dao of Becoming! The so-called Dao Cheng is to make oneself a Dao, to become one of the three thousand great dao, to become one of these great dao ……..And there are many paths to take to become a Dao! I ultimately chose to become the Dao by being ruthless! Because ruthlessness equals renunciation, and with everything in this world, nothing is simpler than renunciation. So I gave up everyone around myself, including the woman I love most ……I said to her, I’ll come and get you after I become a Taoist ……..You know what? That woman foolishly waited for me for more than a thousand years, and in the end, she waited to become a withered bone …….”
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Bastard!”
The man laughed out loud, “Well scolded, rightly scolded, I am an animal, an uncompromising animal.”
Ye Xuan asked, “You didn’t succeed?”
The man shook his head, “Didn’t succeed!”
Ye Xuan asked again, “Why?”
The man suddenly laughed out loud, “Because I couldn’t forget her, I couldn’t be truly heartless, yet, I abandoned her because of the Dao of Success …….Ironic, isn’t it?”
Ye Xuan was silent.
The man was still laughing, but cried as he laughed, “I’m not regretting not becoming a Dao, I’m regretting giving her that promise …….If I didn’t give her that promise, don’t give her that thought, she might not have waited for me so much! But I really, really didn’t think that she took my promise seriously! This silly woman, how can a man’s promise be trusted?”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “She loves you, so even though she knows that what you said might be false, she chose to believe it. This is perhaps love! Even though I watched you talk nonsense with your eyes open, I still chose to believe it!”
The man was still laughing, a sad laugh, “Yes, she chose to believe me, but I am not worthy of her belief. After she dies, I can become a Taoist! Because at that time, there will no longer be anything in the world worth thinking about! I can be truly desireless, with only the Great Dao in my heart …….However, at that time, I realised that even if I became a Taoist, what was the point? There’s no meaning to it! Everything is meaningless!”
Ye Xuan was silent.
He had to say that he was a little shocked in his heart, this person in front of him, he could become the Dao at any time!
However, right now, the other party had imprisoned himself here unable to forgive himself.
Ye Xuan sighed in a low voice, “Senior, do you think that the woman you love really loves you?”
The man looked towards Ye Xuan, who said softly, “She loves you so much, just imagine, is she really willing to see you torturing yourself like this? In my opinion, she is definitely unwilling to do so, or rather, if she were to see you torturing yourself like this, how sad would she be? You can’t forgive yourself, that, I can understand, but it still doesn’t make any sense for you to do this now. Either live well, or simply die.”
The man was silent.
Ye Xuan was about to speak when the man suddenly said, “You’re right, he definitely doesn’t want to see me like this right now, in that case …….”
Saying this, his body suddenly began to fade away at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan’s face changed greatly, damn, this guy chose to simply die …….
Did he say something wrong?
