The Soul Returns to Its Place
Chapter 1280 The Soul Returns to Its Place
The Prime Minister's wife held Yunxi's hand, tears streaming down her face. She nodded gently and said:
"Thank you for the safe birth of my daughter and for being with me for eighteen years. These eighteen years are stolen from me, and I am very content. I hope you will find a good place after you leave."
Seeing that the other party had no obsession, Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief. After her physical body and soul separated, she sensed a strong power of prayer. The lady was holding her belly and praying that the fetus in her womb could come back to life and be born safely so that it could stay by her side.
That intense obsession pulled her into the body of the unborn infant. He was certain that the baby's heartbeat had stopped before she entered that fragile body; it was a stillborn. But because of her powerful soul force, the heartbeat was restored, and the baby came back to life.
The people around seemed to already know that Yunxi was about to die, and their eyes reddened, but they held back their tears. Only the Prime Minister and his wife knew that the day before the delivery, the physician had vaguely told them that the fetus in her womb had stopped beating and that in order to save the lady's life, it would be best to remove the stillborn fetus as soon as possible.
The lady prayed to heaven for the first time, willing to give anything to bring her unborn child back to life, and then her daughter really did live. Although she was told she wouldn't live past eighteen, she was content, just as she said, those eighteen years were stolen.
Yunxi gently exhaled and said:
"Grandmother, Father, Mother, after I'm gone, cremate my body and scatter my ashes into Yufeng Lake."
Hearing this, the lady couldn't hold back her tears and held Yunxi's hand, saying:
"Yunxi, are you asking me to grind you to dust? Your mother can't bear it."
Yunxi grasped the other person's hand in return and said:
“Mother, it’s not that I want to make you sad, but I am no ordinary person. Once I leave, this body that I have nurtured will be snatched by wandering ghosts, which will bring disaster to the entire Prime Minister’s mansion. This time you must listen to me.”
After saying that, she looked at the Prime Minister, whose temples were now streaked with gray.
The Prime Minister nodded with difficulty in agreement:
"Yunxi, don't worry, I won't let anything take over your body. I will ask the Imperial Preceptor Qianyuan to protect your body."
After receiving a positive reply, Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief. The physical body she had nurtured with her soul power would definitely attract ghost cultivators, so she had to burn it. She didn't want to see others acting with the physical body she had carefully nurtured.
After explaining all this, she looked around and smiled faintly, saying:
"I'm tired."
Then she sat back on the recliner, slowly closed her eyes, as if she were asleep, but no one left the yard; they all silently watched their most precious daughter (younger sister).
Five breaths later, Yunxi's soul slowly floated out of her physical body. Her soul was as solid as a tangible substance. She wore a bright red fairy robe, and her beautiful face, as lovely as a flower, gave everyone in the courtyard a faint smile. Then she raised her hand and gave each person a merit point before slowly disappearing.
At the same time, a golden light enveloped the sky above Ranxi Garden, exceptionally dazzling, before dissipating three breaths later.
Sensing the unusual movement, Qian Yuan, who had appeared in Ranxi Garden, felt the fluctuations in the surrounding space. Looking at Yun Xi, who was already lifeless, he sighed and said:
"Prime Minister, prepare for Miss Yunxi's funeral. She's gone!"
Only then did the lady dare to cry out. She touched Yunxi's cheek with trembling hands, and after confirming that her youngest daughter had really stopped breathing, she fainted. Fortunately, the prime minister caught her.
The Prime Minister called out to his wife's personal maids, instructing them to help her back. Only then did he respectfully bow to Qian Yuan and say:
"Before my daughter passed away, she instructed us to cremate her body as soon as possible, otherwise it would attract wandering ghosts. We hope that the Imperial Advisor can protect my daughter's body during the period of mourning."
Qian Yuan nodded in agreement, tied a jade talisman around Yun Xi's waist, and turned to the Prime Minister, saying:
"Now we can take Miss's body to the funeral hall."
"Alright." The news of the Prime Minister's youngest daughter's passing spread throughout the entire capital the next day, causing those who had their eyes on Yunxi to regret their actions. Only the Emperor showed a sarcastic smile. Even the royal family couldn't keep her, so how could these people be worthy of coveting her? Soon after, the Emperor's decree posthumously honoring Yunxi arrived at the Prime Minister's residence.
This made everyone who was watching the spectacle gasp, and then they started to wonder what kind of funeral gift would be appropriate.
All of this was no longer Yunxi's concern. The moment she left her physical body, she sensed its location and directly tore through the void to reach the dangerous Flaming Mountain in the cultivation world.
However, she arrived at a very opportune time. Many cultivators were vying for that mutated strange fire. Although the strange fire flashed by, it gave her a sense of familiarity.
But she couldn't care less now, because a cultivator had discovered her physical body and was attacking the layer of pale blue ice flames protecting her, wanting to take possession of her body.
Yunxi waved her sleeve lightly, sweeping away all the cultivators who attacked the Taixu Heavenly Ice Flame. The next moment, she returned to her physical body.
The moment she opened her eyes, she sensed the strong rejection from her opponent. She had no choice but to temporarily seal her dantian and suppress her aura before slowly sitting up.
Because she was still immersed in the lava, the Taixu Heavenly Ice Flame did not return to her body. However, Taixu still asked through the contract seal:
“Master, why did it take you so long to find us? If you hadn’t come soon, I would have moved on. These people have tried every means to get your body. All the top cultivators in this plane have come.”
Yunxi stood up and stretched her body before replying:
"When I left the spatial rift, my protective immortal armor was completely destroyed. The tail of the spatial gale swept across my body, and my soul was extracted from my body. After being injured, I was pulled into the body of a woman's unborn child by a force of prayer. I could only prolong the life of the infant and nourish its soul, so it was delayed for eighteen years."
After hearing Yunxi's concise explanation, Taixu stopped complaining. The incident was sudden, and it was fortunate that he was able to preserve his physical body. Didn't he see that Menglanjun had already fallen into a deep sleep? Yunxi, whose soul had returned to its place, had no choice but to seal her dantian, otherwise she would have been rejected by this plane and sent somewhere else.
After a brief exchange, Yunxi leaped away from the volcano. As soon as she appeared at the crater, nine Mahayana cultivators surrounded her.
Yun Xi merely glanced at these people before leaping out of the encirclement again, preparing to leave this place of trouble. However, the nine people soon blocked her path once more, and she spoke with displeasure:
"Gentlemen, why are you blocking my way?"
One of the body cultivators, with a full beard, stepped forward and said:
"Who are you? And why are you in the Flaming Mountain?"
Yunxi replied perfunctorily:
"I was ambushed and fell into the Flaming Mountain. I just woke up and am on my way to settle scores with my enemies. Don't block my way."
At this moment, another old woman, leaning on a dragon-headed cane, said in a deep voice:
"Old woman, I'm probably the longest-lived person in this world, how come I've never seen you before?"
Yunxi raised an eyebrow and said:
"There are many things you haven't seen."
After saying that, he prepared to leap out of the encirclement again.
But as she moved, the nine men also moved, showing no intention of letting her leave.
Yunxi frowned. Although she had sealed her cultivation, she could still get rid of these people with her physical strength alone, so her fist seemed to be thrown out weakly.
See you tomorrow, my darlings~ Goodnight~
