Chapter 3018

Ouyang Tianyun shared what he knew with Yan Xiwan.

Yan Xiwan nodded slightly after listening. "It seems this so-called secret realm is indeed the source of all this resentment."

"What resentment has made your faces so grim?" Pan Hongmei and the other two could not see the resentment here.

Yan Xiwan spoke slowly. "The resentment of the dead."

"Fourth Sister, you can actually see the resentment of the dead?" Pan Hongmei looked at Yan Xiwan in disbelief.

Yan Xiwan smiled. "Yes, I can see the resentment of any ghost or spirit. Not only can I see it, but I can also absorb it. However, for this mass of resentment before us, although I can absorb it, I must first resolve the heart-knots of these spirits. Only then, after I absorb the resentment, can they enter reincarnation to be reborn."

"However, with such heavy resentment, even if they are reborn, they likely won't be human for several lifetimes," Ouyang Tianyun said.

Yan Xiwan smiled gently. "It is still better than being trapped here as they are now. Besides, keeping them trapped is not a solution. If things go wrong, too many spirits and sky-high resentment will affect the entire cultivation world."

Ouyang Tianyun hummed. "But with such heavy resentment, can you really resolve the heart-knots of these spirits? Remember, the spirits here number in the tens of thousands."

"Tianyun, you are falling into a misconception. Since they have become spirits with resentment, it is likely the same source of resentment because they are trapped here. So, as long as I understand this one point, I can solve all the mysteries."

Yan Xiwan became very sharp-minded at this moment. "But I am quite curious about what kind of event or situation could gather so many people. After all, there are tens of thousands of souls here."

Ouyang Tianyun was also curious. "To be honest, I am curious about this too."

Yan Xiwan looked at Ouyang Tianyun. "Shall we find out?"

Ouyang Tianyun laughed. "Leave the inquiry to me."

The best way to inquire was to ask the Immortal Emperor, so Ouyang Tianyun went aside to communicate. "Adoptive Father."

"Where are you now?" the Immortal Emperor asked upon hearing Ouyang Tianyun.

"On the way back to Piaomiao Palace, but we stopped at Two Realms Mountain," Ouyang Tianyun got straight to the point. "Adoptive Father, why are there so many resentful souls at Two Realms Mountain?"

"The secret realm back then was actually an abnormal space cultivated by an evil cultivator. Almost everyone who entered the secret realm lost their lives. Over the years, naturally, many resentful souls were left behind."

The Immortal Emperor seemed not surprised at all by Ouyang Tianyun asking this question.

"Since that is the case, why didn't you purify these resentful souls?"

"If we purified them, where would your wife get the resentment to absorb?" the Immortal Emperor asked.

"My wife is not limited to absorbing resentment; she can also absorb spiritual energy," Ouyang Tianyun said speechlessly. So, they hadn't dealt with this place because they saved it for Yan Xiwan.

The Immortal Emperor chuckled. "But you cannot deny that your wife’s cultivation advances faster by absorbing resentment. Moreover, there is power of faith within the resentment. Since your wife will become a Yin God in the future, having more power of faith is good."

After listening, Ouyang Tianyun said, "So, you deliberately left this resentment here."

"Actually, not exactly. When we dealt with that secret realm back then, the Yan Emperor was not present, so we temporarily set aside the handling of the resentful souls. By the time we remembered, a long time had passed. At that time, your wife was already in your mother-in-law’s womb. Later, the Black Emperor calculated that this area of resentment had some connection with your wife, so we did not come to handle it."

What kind of connection could there be? It was simply wanting to give this resentment to Yan Xiwan as a meeting gift.

"If my wife helps you handle the resentment, what are the benefits?" Ouyang Tianyun did not think this was a good meeting gift, so he would definitely extort when he could.

"Are you really my son? Asking me for a meeting gift?" the Immortal Emperor was dissatisfied.

"I am your adopted son, but I am my wife’s husband. One’s arm should always bend inward, so I naturally support my wife," Ouyang Tianyun did not feel his face was thick at all.

The Immortal Emperor paused, then said, "Alright, alright. You make it sound like I wouldn’t give your wife a meeting gift. Rest assured, when you arrive at Piaomiao Palace, I will definitely give your wife a gift."

The Immortal Emperor bit down fiercely on the last two words.

Yan Xiwan was satisfied with the Immortal Emperor’s last sentence, so she hummed. "In that case, let it be so. I will end the call now."

Having obtained the information he wanted, Ouyang Tianyun came over and told Yan Xiwan, "This is the gift they sent you. It was originally meant to be handled, but they had no time. By the time they had time, you already existed, so they discussed it and decided to give this place to you as a gift. However, I personally think this gift is not substantial enough, so I have already demanded a gift from them. When you arrive at Piaomiao Palace, you will receive a substantial gift."

"Can a gift be demanded from people?" Yan Xiwan looked at Ouyang Tianyun, somewhat speechless.

Ouyang Tianyun grinned. "Of course, it can."

Yan Xiwan raised her eyebrows slightly. Ouyang Tianyun continued, "Besides, it is normal for elders to give us some gifts."

Yan Xiwan gave Ouyang Tianyun a half-smiling, half-skeptical look, but ultimately said nothing, just nodding. "You are right. It is indeed appropriate for elders to give some gifts."

Ouyang Tianyun was very happy that Yan Xiwan understood his intentions. He pointed to the darkness before them. "When do you plan to start absorbing this resentment?"

"Let’s start now. The earlier we start, the earlier we finish." Knowing that these resentful spirits were produced in the secret realm, only by absorbing all the resentment here could their souls be purified.

"Good." Ouyang Tianyun nodded. "Then go ahead. We will wait for you here."

Although Ouyang Tianyun very much wanted to go with Yan Xiwan, he could not absorb resentment, so he could only say this.

Yan Xiwan smiled slightly and began to slowly enter the darkness, then started absorbing the resentment.

"Will Fourth Sister have any problems absorbing resentment like this?" Pan Hongmei asked with some worry. "After all, resentment is not spiritual energy."

"It’s fine. If an ordinary person absorbed resentment, there would be problems. But my wife’s constitution is different from ordinary people. This resentment will eventually turn into the spiritual energy she needs," Ouyang Tianyun said.

"Is there such a constitution?" Jian Ying felt he had never heard of this.

Ouyang Tianyun glanced at Jian Ying. "It is naturally true. My wife’s identity is quite special, which also causes her constitution to be different from others."
