Chapter 749: 749 Senior Sister, we will meet again [Part 1]

Your Royal Highness the Princess!

Victoria was taken aback: "What did you call her? What?!"

By this time, she could already confirm that the soul of the Penglai Saintess, Yue Zheng, was indeed inside her body.

But why would Yue Zheng call Rong Si "Your Royal Highness the Princess"?

The only princess who could command such respect from the Penglai Saintess was...

"Princess Yongning!" Victoria exclaimed in shock, "You are still alive!"

How is this possible!

Even before the Battle of Ten Thousand Armies arrived, Princess Yongning was already dead!

On the day Princess Yongning left, the whole world was dressed in mourning white, and the people were in mourning.

Even from afar on the Nanling Sea, they could see the grand funeral, was this the Daning Dynasty putting on a show for them?

Yue Zheng’s words once again put immense pressure on Victoria’s mind, causing a lapse in her control over her body.

"Indeed." Ye Wanlan slowly exhaled and smiled, "I also confirmed this when I obtained the Infinite Ruler."

She had long suspected that the Penglai Saintess might not be dead.

Even Shen Mingshu’s soul had been perfectly protected by Han Yunsheng, so as the first Saintess of Mount Penglai, Yue Zheng would naturally have a way to preserve her own soul.

The Infinite Ruler was the magic artifact of Beiming Sect Master Xing Yun. Ye Wanlan poured her spiritual power into it and felt the soul fluctuations of Yue Zheng.

However, she was unsure whether she could use her blood to awaken Yue Zheng.

Though she had only a sixty percent certainty, she decided to gamble.

Sometimes, her luck was indeed extraordinary, because she bet correctly.

"So it was my junior brother." Yue Zheng was startled, then murmured, "His efforts were not in vain; I understand."

Although the Beiming Sect and Mount Penglai both originated from Shenzhou Taoism Technique and ranked among the Six Great Sects, the two sects were actually irreconcilable.

As the Penglai Saintess, her first responsibility was to take up the role of the Sect Leader of Mount Penglai.

So, on the surface, she had to oppose Xing Yun.

"How do you feel now?" Ye Wanlan asked, "Can you completely take over this body?"

"Fairly well, but—" Yue Zheng paused, "If it weren’t for Her Royal Highness the Princess calling me with her blood, I don’t know how long it would have taken me to awaken."

It was only in the past few days that she had gained consciousness, likely because Victoria and Ye Wanlan were both present at the Spirit Summoning Battle’s venue.

But the complete awakening was due to the nourishment of Ye Wanlan’s blood.

For Yue Zheng, the Battle of Ten Thousand Armies felt like it had just happened a second before.

Her body shattered instantly, and her soul was severely damaged, leaving only a sliver of consciousness to find a place to sustain her soul.

This nurturing continued for three hundred years.

"Then let me first help you take over this Atlantean’s body," Ye Wanlan took a breath, "With a body, your soul can be better nurtured."

Yue Zheng was taken aback again, then she smiled: "It’s been a long time since I last saw Your Royal Highness the Princess, but you still command my trust as before."

Only a wise ruler is worthy of following.

This body does not belong to her. Destroying Victoria’s soul is not an easy task.

Victoria finally realized Ye Wanlan’s true intention, gritting her teeth: "Alright, you did this on purpose!"

Ye Wanlan also knew very well that even the first three swords of the Heavenly Movements Nine Swords could not kill Victoria, at most, they could cause some superficial injuries.

The purpose of these three swords was not to injure Victoria but to enrage her.

By doing so, Ye Wanlan could take advantage of Victoria’s moment of distraction due to rage and awaken Yue Zheng, helping Yue Zheng vie for control over her body.

"Hmph, well played, Rong Si, you calculated it all," Victoria sneered, "I don’t truly understand why the soul of your Penglai Saintess resides in my body, but I can sense she is very weak."

Victoria wasn’t foolish either. She had been lurking in the Northern Lands for many years, also learning about human lifestyle habits and approaches.

The Penglai Saintess chose to parasitize in her body, likely because she was severely injured during the Battle of Ten Thousand Armies and had no choice but to recuperate within her body.

Although she was distracted and controlled by Yue Zheng, her soul’s strength was arguably stronger than Yue Zheng’s at present.

Who would prevail was yet to be determined!

Her pride as an Atlantean was not something these lesser beings could destroy.

Victoria ceased her distractions and focused her attention, regaining control of her body in just a moment.

She looked at Ye Wanlan and snarled: "So, you’re Princess Yongning? If I kill you and obtain your luck, the Supreme Wisdom will certainly bless me!"

"Boom!"

A new battle erupted once more.

Outside—

An hour had passed, yet the five elders of the Romanov Family were still searching for a way to break the water sphere.

Unfortunately, they had found nothing.

"Your Majesty, based on the intelligence we’ve previously collected, this Atlantean is at least an Alpha-level Divine Bloodline," Sulya’s expression grew grim, "Atlanteans of this level are almost omnipotent. To match them, one would need to be at least at the level of a leader of the Six Great Sects."

Empress Angelina clutched the scepter in her hand tightly: "How about the Rong Family?"

"They’ve been notified," Sulya took a deep breath, "But even if Elder Rong comes, it will take time. Just worried..."

Worried that Mei and the others can’t hold out!

"Boom!"

The massive explosion shook, almost shattering eardrums; Ye Wanlan’s body was already drenched in blood, yet she did not stop.

Heavenly Movements Nine Swords, Fourth Sword!

Lock the Heart of Bodhi!

This move isn’t a physical attack but mental.

"Clang!"

Victoria felt as if countless Bronze Bells were ringing fiercely by her ears, causing mental chaos and once again giving Yue Zheng a chance.

She lost control of her body once more.

No... Absolutely not!

She was unwilling!

Even if it meant perishing with Princess Yongning, she would never let her body be taken over by another.

"Rong Si, I’ll make you see that without my body, your Penglai Saintess’ lonely soul has nothing to depend on!" Victoria roared in rage, "And without a body, accepting the baptism of Supreme Wisdom will grant me a new one, but what about your Penglai Saintess?"

Ye Wanlan’s expression grew slightly serious.

The name Supreme Wisdom had also been mentioned many times by Zhu Qingxian and Kang Mufeng before her.

The two, as guardians of the continent, indeed had a greater understanding of Atlantis but had never seen the Supreme Wisdom.

Even amongst Atlanteans, only a small number were eligible to receive an audience from the Supreme Wisdom.

Some say the Supreme Wisdom is an incarnation of the gods, with no fixed form.

Others say the Supreme Wisdom is not a living being but a fully realized AI, a high-tech intelligence.

Various speculations abound.

No conclusions have been reached, but all Atlanteans worship the Supreme Wisdom as their faith.

Whatever the Supreme Wisdom is, it’s an incredibly troublesome entity.

"Ha... Ha ha ha ha!" Victoria stopped striving for control over the body and chose to self-destruct, "If we’re going to die, let’s die together!"

With her body gone, Yue Zheng’s soul would lose its vessel and vanish forever!

Victoria laughed wildly towards the sky, brimming with excitement.

"Buzz!"

However, at that moment, the formidable energy was stabilized.

"Senior Sister." A soft laughter descended, "I told you, we would meet again."

Whether it be the ends of the earth or the nine vast expanses.
