Overriding the Heaven

"We're all safe now …"    

"High Master Bi Tong saved us …"    

"My injuries are still alright, the heaviest ones are A Qing, Li Xiu and the rest …"    

"Kong Xian brought us to the Prince's Mansion …"    

"I haven't heard from you, but Kong Xian has been sending people to find you …"    

"A few days ago, we all wanted to find you, but we were stopped by Kong Xian …"    

"Yun Nichang brought news today as well. What happened at Three Saint Mountain has something to do with you …"    

"We were all waiting for you to return …"    

"..."    

When all the information recorded in the Consonance Jade was released in an instant, it made Chu Yan dizzy.    

Although he didn't know the exact date of today, from Lin Miaoran's message, Chu Yan could infer that it took longer for him to remember than he had imagined.    

Therefore, Chu Yan didn't continue to rush. Instead, he chose a nearby mountain peak and descended. Then, he found a cave. After setting up an illusion array to block his figure, he started to carefully check the message Lin Miaoran left him.    

There were a lot of comments, but the recording was still orderly.    

From these messages, Chu Yan quickly sorted out some of the information he needed.    

The Three Saint Mountain had collapsed for some reason. Lin Miaoran and the rest were brought out in coffins the moment the mountain collapsed.    

Currently, everyone had been placed in the palace by Kong Xian.    

More importantly, they did not lose a single person — that was what Chu Yan was most concerned about.    

After seeing this message, Chu Yan's heart finally calmed down.    

The last memory he had of the Three Saint Mountain palaces was Old Emperor's strange eyes.    

That pair of eyes must be the source of power for the enemy, even though he was a mortal, he could roam the 12 kingdoms and kill countless cultivators.    

When he thought of this, scenes quickly flashed through Chu Yan's mind.    

The palace.    

Peach blossom –    

Mother —    

These scenes made Chu Yan's body shudder.    

When he came back to his senses and gasped for breath, Chu Yan was surprised to find that in that instant, his body had tensed up and a large amount of sweat gushed out.    

"Dreams... "Three Lives …"    

After a moment, Chu Yan slowly spat out two words.    

The last memory that was missing appeared in his mind and was imprinted in his mind.    

At the same time, the last drop of sweat flowed down his cheek to his chin and to the ground.    

"I remember now. Old Emperor's Three Lives Pupils can see the past, present, and future."    

Chu Yan muttered.    

"I saw this life, and I saw my previous life, but I don't seem to see the future. The guy behind the Gates of Hell, he accepted my body."    

"The collapse of the Three Saint Mountain must be related to that fellow behind the Gates of Hell."    

Thinking of this, Chu Yan suddenly felt a chill in his heart.    

That period of time he had no memory of, his body must have been taken over by the guy behind the Gates of Hell.    

But why didn't the guy continue?    

How did he get here?    

All of a sudden, questions started appearing one by one.    

Chu Yan felt that he had to take care of everything that had happened to him during this period of time.    

At this moment, he had a feeling that if he didn't deal with this problem well, there might be big trouble.    

However, Chu Yan did not do it immediately. Through the Consonance Jade, he reported his safety to Lin Miaoran and the others.    

After not seeing any news from him for so long, he could imagine how anxious everyone must be.    

After that, he told Lin Miaoran that he didn't know where he was, and that he couldn't contact them due to some special circumstances.    

Now that he could communicate with them, he could continue to do so.    

When he found out where he was, he would return.    

The most important point of this message was to let Lin Miaoran and the others know that he was safe.    

Sure enough, after a while, a reply from Lin Miaoran arrived.    

Although it was only a short sentence, Chu Yan could still feel the excitement in the other party's mood.    

After sending a few more messages to Lin Miaoran, Chu Yan kept the Consonance Jade and started to think.    

The first thing he needed to do was to clear his mind through his memories.    

This process was very short.    

Before long, he took out the Blood Ruyi, the Eight Divine Ruler, and two things that looked like eyeballs from his ring.    

Xue Ru Yi and the Eight Divine Chi were obtained from the heart demon and state teacher respectively in the Blacksoul City.    

As for those two eyeballs, they were the real eyeballs from Old Emperor.    

When he pulled out the eyeball, Chu Yan's body had already been controlled by the person behind the Gates of Hell. Thus, he was not clear about this process.    

Now that he had taken out the two eyeballs, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.    

"That guy …"    

After a brief moment of hesitation, Chu Yan closed his eyes.    

The next moment, he entered his sea of consciousness.    

This was the second time he had decided to enter the Gates of Hell to have a chat with that person.    

During their first conversation, Chu Yan saw the Road to River Styx and saw a faceless woman holding a lantern.    

The biting cold of the hell's monsoon still sent shivers down one's spine when thinking about it.    

However, Chu Yan felt something was wrong as soon as he entered his Sea of Consciousness.    

The deeper one went, the stronger the feeling that something was amiss became.    

When Chu Yan arrived at the Sea of Consciousness and saw the Gates of Hell, his expression changed.    

At this moment, the Gates of Hell actually exuded a deathly air.    

The Gates of Hell in Chu Yan's memory was a rusty steel door with blood stains on it.    

Countless vengeful spirits and wraiths turned into a monsoon from the depths of hell. They wailed and howled non-stop. With the Gates of Hell as the center, they continuously flew about.    

And within the Gates of Hell, the rippling yellow-green light formed the boundary between the two worlds.    

However, the Gates of Hell that appeared in front of Chu Yan still had traces of rust on it, but it gave off a feeling of being abandoned.    

The blood that had been red and glaring on its surface had now turned dark and mottled, giving it an unparalleled visual impact.    

The hell's monsoon had disappeared as well.    

More importantly, the light from the door had disappeared at an unknown time.    

At this moment, the Gates of Hell in front of Chu Yan was like a deserted city on the border. The last lonely gate left behind was desolate and lonely.    

As for that sinister, cold, terrifying, desperate, and violent aura from hell, all of it was gone.    

The door to hell was now a dead object, a mere abandoned doorframe.    

Seeing that, Chu Yan was stunned.    

"Just what is this …" "What's going on …"    

Returning from the sea of consciousness to reality, Chu Yan could not help but be dazzled.    

When the Northern King appeared and fought Emperor Taiqing, Chu Yan's consciousness fell into a deep slumber, so he was unclear about what had happened.    

However, the present state that the Gates of Hell displayed told Chu Yan that what happened at that time was definitely not simple.    

Chu Yan didn't know how much power was needed to make the Three Saint Mountain collapse.    

However, to be able to turn the person behind the Gates of Hell into his current appearance meant that this power was most definitely beyond his imagination.    

At that time, something huge must have happened in that palace!    

Chu Yan took a deep breath and composed himself. Then, he grabbed an eyeball that was on the ground.    

Perhaps there would be clues on these items.
