Chapter 680: Chapter 680 The Strange Things Happening to Ning Mengyao

In the Ning Mansion, there was tranquility.

Lin Fan was once again settled onto the bed.

Meng Yao, however, stepped out of the room.

At this moment, Ni Chang was still sitting cross-legged, cultivating to heal her injuries.

"Ni Chang, can I help with anything?"

Meng Yao looked at Ni Chang, her face etched with concern.

The power she had just acquired was also somewhat foreign to her.

It was as if those six tails had fused with her body.

She was now quite troubled about how to retract them.

After all, if she were to walk out the door like this, she’d probably scare everyone to death.

"No need, I am fine!"

Ni Chang took a deep breath, slowly exhaling the turbid air before finally opening her eyes.

Seeing Meng Yao’s six white tails, she couldn’t help but ask, "Meng Yao, how did you become like this?"

"I... I don’t know... I just saw that woman trying to kill Lin Fan, and then I wanted to protect him with my body; suddenly, some strange memories flooded into my mind, and by the time I realized it, these six tails had appeared. It couldn’t be because of your Soul Returning Array, could it?"

As Meng Yao spoke, she still couldn’t touch those tails.

This sensation was as though she had grown six additional arms.

"Impossible, the Soul Returning Array was only meant to help Lin Fan’s soul emerge from confusion; it is ineffective on cultivation techniques. If anything, this power must have been hidden within you, and the other party’s palm strike completely activated it. Yet that’s not right either; such a powerful force couldn’t have been sealed for so long, so you must have only obtained it recently... but why then did you say nothing strange had happened recently?"

Ni Chang looked at Meng Yao, the strength of this power had already reached the Ninth Grade.

Once the seventh tail grows, it will inevitably surpass the Ninth Grade.

"I meant Lin Fan hasn’t had any problems... but... but I seem to have come across something strange... lately I’ve been having a weird dream where it seems I go back to ancient times... I even went to look up relevant information because of this."

Meng Yao hastily explained.

Could it be that this mysterious power was related to the bizarre dreams?

"A strange dream? But... but it still doesn’t explain how you obtained this power!"

Ni Chang frowned, unable to understand all these changes.

Meng Yao could only ponder earnestly, and suddenly, her cheeks flushed.

"Ni Chang... if I tell you, you mustn’t laugh at me!"

"Of course not, what is it?"

Ni Chang asked curiously.

"I... a few days ago, I wanted to have a child with Lin Fan... so I just... do you think it’s because I did that, and then... that I..."

Meng Yao bashfully recounted the intimate affair, "But... but we have done it before, and there wasn’t a reaction like this time!"

"Perhaps, it is related to Lin Fan being unconscious. If that is the case, I’m afraid I now understand the true nature of this sixty-year plan - they wanted to take this opportunity to summon the Corpse Concubine!"

Ni Chang narrowed her eyes, as the answer now seemed to be on the verge of revelation.

Within that tempest, it must have been one of the Five Corpses, the Corpse Concubine.

Although it is unclear what exactly happened between the two, eventually, the Corpse Concubine transferred her power into Lin Fan’s body.

And as the reincarnation of the Corpse Concubine, Meng Yao, through intimate contact, absorbed part of that power back into herself.

Thus, the source of the current power of the Six Tails was established.

"Corpse Concubine... what is that?"

Meng Yao blinked her lovely eyes, looking at Ni Chang with confusion.

Such matters would not be recorded in the official histories.

"Some things, you will naturally come to understand later, but for now, with your protection, no one will harm Lin Fan again, and I am relieved about that,"

Ni Chang did not divulge the matter of the Five Corpses; because some things are more rewarding when found on one’s own.

Now, Ning Mengyao’s biggest problem was not about her origins but rather the raging power within her that she couldn’t control.

"Let’s do this, I’ll teach you how to control and conceal this power first,"

at least, you can’t go out with a tail waving behind you."

"Okay, okay!"

Within Ning Mengyao’s mind were various combat Cultivation Techniques,

yet, there was not a single one for concealed cultivation.

After all, the former Fifth Corpse had no need to hide its strength.

"Gather energy at the Dantian, withdraw the five senses..."

Ni Chang guided Meng Yao, moving energy little by little through her acupuncture points.

With her eyes barely shut, she failed to see the tears in Ni Chang’s eyes.

At this moment, Ni Chang was overwhelmed with mixed emotions of sorrow and joy.

She was glad that Lin Fan, protected by the power of the Charming Corpse, would surely navigate through this journey of confusion.

Yet, it was heartbreaking that she would never see the day he achieved greatness and fame.

As Meng Yao’s six tails slowly disappeared,

she entered a state of self-forgetfulness.

Ni Chang, however, turned and went back into the room at that moment.

Sitting by the bed, she took Lin Fan’s hand, and as she gazed at his still closed eyes, her voice choked with emotion.

"Lin Fan... no... Fifth Corpse Progenitor Di Xin, I believe you haven’t lost your way, but are contemplating the millennia past. I know it won’t be long before you awake again. When that time comes, the heavens and earth will change color for you, it’s just a pity I won’t be there to see it."

"But having known and understood you is enough for me. You have shown me how vast the world is and taught me the joys and sorrows of life. Thank you for being part of my life. Now, it is time for us to part forever."

Ni Chang murmured to herself for a long time, then finally wiped the tears from her eyes.

Looking at Lin Fan one more time, she knew it was time to leave.

"Take good care of him for me!"

Clinging to Lin Fan’s hand, Ni Chang’s head slowly drooped.

She then laid down beside him.

And her pure soul shot forth.

It was but a moment, and she was back within the Cavern of Heaven.

"For such a brutal master, is it worth such a great sacrifice?"

Huanji’s voice emanated from within her.

"Perhaps in your eyes, it’s utterly foolish, but to me, it’s all worth it,"

Ni Chang replied with a faint smile, "In a hundred years of life, many still do not know what they seek. Today I know my heart’s desire—it is him. Whether he is Di Xin or Lin Fan, I have no regrets!"

"Alright, as you wish, enter your slumber!"

Huanji opened her eyes, smiling. Sitting alone atop Holy Maiden Tower, her gaze turned icy.

She stepped out of the room, where maids were already waiting.

"Notify them immediately to destroy all passages. From today on, Cavern of Heaven reverts to its initial state, cutting off all communication with the outside world!"

"Cut off communication?"

The maids looked at the Holy Maiden in surprise.

The passage had been so hard to find.

How could they simply blow it up?

"Do you not understand? If you don’t act now, I’ll start killing!"

The face of Huanji was filled with malice.

She intended to erase the Cavern of Heaven from the world so that no one could ever enter or leave again.

"Yes!"
