GBP Chapter 811 Memory Rift
Chapter 811 Memory Rift
Above the swirling clouds and mist of the Taixu Ancient Palace, the sword formations of the Tianji Pavilion danced like wild silver snakes, myriad sword energies interwoven into an impenetrable net. Yun Yao supported Chu Mochen as he stumbled back. The purple-black blood that continuously seeped from his chest formed strange runes on the blue bricks, and every drop seemed to burn her heart.
"Mo Chen!" Yun Yao bit her tongue and passed the essence of her origin power into his mouth. His pupils suddenly constricted, and his entire body trembled violently as if struck by lightning. The voice of the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion, wrapped in a sense of pressure, came from deep within the chessboard, each word sharp as a knife: "Reincarnation of the Great Lord of the Beginning, do you still remember who personally pushed Fairy Yunhua into the cycle of reincarnation a thousand years ago?"
Chu Mochen growled in pain, his hand gripping Yun Yao's wrist tightly, his knuckles turning white from the strain. Yun Yao stared at the veins bulging across his forehead, and suddenly realized that his eyes were filled not only with pain, but also with deep fear and regret. Without hesitation, she thrust her spiritual sense into his sea of consciousness, and instantly, a thousand-year-old memory flooded back like a tide.
Atop the mist-shrouded summit of the Heavenly Dao, a man in white clad in snow-white clutched a blood-stained sword, the tip of which pierced the chest of a woman in red. The woman's face was stunningly beautiful, yet as pale as paper. Blood from her mouth dripped onto the man's palm, forming a golden mark. And the man's face bore a striking resemblance to Chu Mochen before him!
"No!" Yun Yao stumbled back, his consciousness shattered. Millennia ago, to prevent the collapse of the Heavenly Dao, the Great Lord of Beginning personally shattered Fairy Yun Hua's soul, merging it into the fragments of the Heavenly Dao and sending it to the human world. Even more heartbreaking, he had voluntarily borne all this karma, solely to protect the common people.
"I'm sorry..." Chu Mochen suddenly broke free from her support, staggered out the Hanyuan Sword, but pointed the sword at his throat, "I can't let you put yourself in danger for me again." His voice was hoarse, and his eyes were full of determination, "Yun Yao, take the broken chapter and leave here, live..."
Yun Yao looked at his resolute eyes and suddenly remembered the poem she had read in the library before crossing over: "How can one achieve both in this world? To live up to the Tathagata and to live up to your love?" It turned out that the Great Lord of the Beginning, a thousand years ago, had faced the same decision. She suddenly reached out and grasped the sword. Blood flowed down her palm, and a gorgeous red plum blossom bloomed on the ground.
"If I lose my emotions as a human being, what good will it be even if I become the way of heaven?" She looked straight into his eyes, with a determined light in her eyes, "What I want is not the justice of saving the world, but to live with you." After that, she did not hesitate to integrate her own fragments into Chu Mochen's body. A dazzling golden light flashed, and the "double chapter symbiosis" state was officially activated!
Meanwhile, the Tianji Pavilion's attacks intensified, countless sword energies raining down like raindrops. Yun Yao manipulated the Jinghong Sword into a thousand streams of light, forcibly tearing a gap in the sword formation. Just as she thought she was about to break free, a "Heavenly Chain" gleaming with golden runes suddenly wrapped around her ankle, and the hideous "Prisoner" rune instantly emerged beneath her skin.
A flash of panic crossed Chu Mochen's eyes. He slashed the chains with his sword, only to find the exact same scar on his chest as Yun Yao's. This was the price of the two-chapter symbiosis—when one was injured, the other would suffer backlash. But he simply smiled calmly and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. "That's good. Our destinies are finally truly connected."
At this moment, the system's voice suddenly became urgent: "Special energy fluctuations detected nearby! Three thousand miles to the southeast, there's the presence of a broken chapter!" Yun Yao and Chu Mochen exchanged a glance and nodded in tacit understanding. They knew this might be the key to turning the tide.
However, when they arrived at their destination, the scene before them shocked them. It was a seemingly ordinary seaside fishing village, with smoke rising from the air and fishermen busy mending their nets. But Yun Yao, using her divine sense, discovered that these villagers were all cultivators who had lost their memories, their seas of consciousness planted with the "Heavenly Secret Soul-Locking Curse."
Even more shocking was the sudden warning from the system: "This is the location of the fragmented 'Guixu Chapter.' Fairy Yunhua once converted a fallen monk here." Before Yunyao could finish her words, a white-haired old village chief suddenly trotted over and knelt before her. "Fairy, please save us... The Tianji Pavilion wants to use our souls to feed the chessboard!"
Yun Yao frowned and helped the old village chief to his feet. Just as she was about to inquire about the details, she saw a black mist suddenly rise outside the village. The pursuers from the Tianji Pavilion had arrived! And the one leading them was someone she had never expected—Xiao Cui, the maid she had once rescued, who was now the master of the Tianji Pavilion's "Cause and Effect Hall"!
"Master, do you still remember the bowl of medicine that saved me in the palace?" Xiao Cui (now known as the "Fairy of Karma") sneered as she approached, her eyes full of sarcasm. "So, from that time on, the 'seed of karma' was planted in me. Every act of kindness you show is a pawn of the Tianji Pavilion."
Yun Yao's heart trembled, finally understanding why every breakthrough she'd made had fallen into the Tianji Pavilion's trap—even the system's missions were a deceptive trap. She clenched her fists, ready to attack, when Chu Mochen suddenly stepped in front of her, his Hanyuan Sword pointed directly at Xiao Cui. "You'll pay the price for harming her."
Just as the atmosphere was tense, Yun Yao suddenly remembered the old village chief's words and felt a pang of emotion. She activated "Recalling Karma" and saw a heartbreaking scene in Xiao Cui's horoscope: the head of Tianji Pavilion was threatening the lives of the entire fishing village, threatening a river of blood if Xiao Cui did not betray him.
"I see..." Yun Yao sighed softly, injecting the power of the Guixu Fragment into Xiao Cui, and whispered, "Now, you can choose your own path." Xiao Cui shuddered, tears flashing in her eyes. She suddenly turned and unleashed her "Karma Fire" on the pursuers: "Master, take the village chief and the others away! I will repay you for saving my life!"
Yun Yao didn't have time to think about it. She dragged Chu Mochen and the old village chief deeper into the fishing village. Led by the old village chief, they arrived at an ancient well. Trembling, the old village chief lifted the well cover, and a soft golden light rose from the well—it was the Remnant of Guixu!
However, just as Yun Yao was about to take the fragment, a dark shadow suddenly leaped from the well and charged towards her! At that crucial moment, Chu Mochen swung his sword to block it, only to discover that the shadow was actually a phantom composed of memory fragments – the very last memory of Fairy Yun Hua...
The moment the phantom dissipated, Yun Yao's sea of consciousness trembled violently again. She saw the Guixu fishing village of a thousand years ago, the scene where Fairy Yunhua converted fallen demon monks, and even more, she remembered the fairy's hopeful eyes as she left the fragments of the Guixu chapter: "If there is an afterlife, may this world be free of conflict..."
"I understand..." Yun Yao muttered to herself, taking the fragments of the Guixu Chapter into her body. At this moment, she finally understood Fairy Yunhua's last wish and became even more determined to break the Tianji Pavilion's conspiracy.
At this moment, the voice of the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion rang out again: "Yunhua's reincarnation, do you think that obtaining the fragments of Guixu Chapter can change your fate? How naive!" Before he finished speaking, the sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, and countless golden chains descended from the sky, enveloping the entire fishing village...
Yun Yao gripped the Jinghong Sword tightly and looked at Chu Mochen beside her. He was looking back at her, his eyes filled with trust and determination. At this moment, they needed no words; their hearts connected. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, they would face them together, because their destinies were already deeply connected.
