Chapter 675: 675 This king will behead the Heavenly Dao first! [1 more]

Even though it was just one word, with no emotion showing, it was chilling to the bone.

"..."

The Penglai Holy Hall fell silent again.

This time, even the Penglai Elder couldn’t help but wipe away the cold sweat on his forehead.

It was his first time dealing with the King of Yan.

He finally understood why, despite Prince Xiang Qingtian of Chu being the eldest among the Four Directions Nobility and having followed Zhaozong to conquer the land, it was the King of Yan who was at the forefront of the Four Directions Nobility.

Because Yan Wang He Jia far surpassed his father.

Among Ning Zhaozong’s children, each was more formidable than the last.

"The second possibility is that after Her Royal Highness the Princess died, her soul went to another world," the Penglai Elder said slowly. "That’s why we can’t summon her soul back."

Since she was no longer in the world where the Shenzhou Land Continent was located, any spirit summoning technique would be useless.

Ye Wanlan’s expression shook.

In truth, she still had a most crucial secret that she had never revealed to anyone.

After dying as Princess Yongning, she indeed went to another world.

So in reality, she had the memories of three lifetimes.

That world, three hundred years in the future, was much like Shenzhou, only with even more advanced technology.

There, she first encountered modern advanced knowledge such as physics, chemistry, biology, and learned a lot of high-tech, mastering many advanced technologies.

Due to her studies in the second life, she had a more solid foundation and was able to bring back more things to Shenzhou.

But perhaps it was a curse, she was destined not to live long.

At the age of twenty-four, to save the younger sister she had picked up in the forest, she chose to die.

She was not reckless with her life; she simply had people she loved.

After choosing to die, Ye Wanlan did not regret it.

So when she became conscious again and found she had returned to her hometown, Ye Wanlan felt it was incredible.

She never expected she could return to Shenzhou, and it was three hundred years later.

But precisely because time leaped three hundred years forward, many things she was powerless to recover.

She had many nights of restless dreams, waking to find her pillow wet with tears.

Ye Wanlan was not without emotion, she had simply learned early on how to manage and accept her emotions.

But no matter how much control she had, in front of her closest and dearest people, she would display her feelings without reservation.

When He Jia heard about the second possibility, his eyebrow twitched: "Then, which possibility is it?"

"It’s impossible to determine." The Penglai Elder sighed, "But I speculate the second possibility is great, because the ancestors had long confirmed that the world we are in is not the only one."

The Shenzhou Taoism Technique can be traced back to the time of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, when practitioners had already confirmed the concept of there being worlds beyond our own.

In today’s rapidly advancing high-tech world, the scientific way to explain it is that beyond Earth, other planets also harbor life.

He Jia clenched his fists tightly and remained silent for a long time.

His silence caused great unease among those on Mount Penglai.

In the outside world, the King of Yan was known as a god of death, and with his martial arts skills, any art and method were weak in comparison.

"L-Lord Prince Yan," a Mount Penglai elder opened his mouth in fear, "please forgive us for our lack of ability, if Her Royal Highness the Princess’s soul is in another world, then there really is no way to summon her back!"

He Jia still said nothing.

"Prince Brother..." Ye Wanlan stepped forward, trying to raise her hand to embrace He Jia.

But like several times before, her hand passed through, unable to touch him.

He Jia continued his silence, making the elders of Mount Penglai more and more terrified.

At the edge of their nerves and sanity, He Jia finally spoke: "Then, how is she faring in that world?"

"..."

Penglai Elder and the elders of Mount Penglai were all somewhat surprised to see He Jia, obviously not expecting that after so long, without any big actions, he just asked such a question.

Ye Wanlan also froze on the spot, tears suddenly falling and her cheeks becoming wet.

Perhaps the closest family members would never care about your status or position; they only want to know if you are living as you wish.

As long as you are, they can be at ease.

"This..." The Penglai Elder pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "To be honest, with my power, I cannot see into Her Royal Highness the Princess’s life in another world, but——"

He Jia looked at him: "But what?"

"But in this life, Her Royal Highness saved countless lives, endowed with deep blessings and merits beyond measure, and will undoubtedly receive heaven’s care." The Penglai Elder smiled, "So even if she has gone to another world, the Heavenly Dao will look after her."

"Heavenly Dao? Hmph." He Jia said coldly, "If there really is a Heavenly Dao, I’ll cut down this Heavenly Dao first!"

The Heavenly Dao said his sister had a calamity in her fate that was hard to surpass.

And indeed, a great plague took his sister away.

Is this what they call Heavenly Dao?

This statement made the cold sweat on the Penglai Elder’s forehead more intense.

"So be it." He Jia closed his eyes, "As long as Xiao Lan can live well, that’s all that matters, whether she comes back or not."

Ye Wanlan raised her hand, wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes, and she softly said: "Prince Brother, I lived very well in that world, I had family, made friends, and learned many skills. If you saw it now... you would surely be proud of me."

The Penglai Elder felt overwhelmed: "With Lord Prince Yan’s deep affection, surely in another world, Her Royal Highness the Princess would also sense it."

He Jia said no more and turned to leave the Penglai Holy Hall.

The wind caught his black clothing, making his silhouette even more desolate.

"Great Grandmaster." The Great Elder of Mount Penglai asked cautiously, "Did Her Royal Highness the Princess truly go to another world?"

"Only a fifty percent chance." The Penglai Elder shook his head, "However, if she indeed went, then she will surely return again."

Ye Wanlan’s eyes shifted slightly.

"She is a person of Shenzhou; no matter where she goes, she will always return to Shenzhou." The Penglai Elder looked up at the sky, "It’s just a matter of time."

The elders of Mount Penglai were deep in thought.

The scene freezes on the moment when the sun sets, the golden flow shimmering.

Ye Wanlan shook her head, still with tear stains on her face, she looked at the verdant trees before her and softly called: "Prince Brother..."

And at this moment, the owner of the voice calling her earlier finally appeared.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess." In the glow, the Penglai Elder who had just appeared before He Jia smiled gently at her, "Lord Prince Yan has left words and things with me, finally waiting for you."
