Rebirth of the Supreme Celestial Being

Ch639 – Reaching a Consensus

However, the reason Lian Hua was so angry was precisely because Yan Tianhen was spot-on about Lian Hua’s real thoughts and fears.

He wasn’t stupid. Lin Xuanzhi could even say things like, “He is my sword heart”. If Lin Xuanzhi found out in the future that Lian Hua had personally killed Yan Tianhen, who could predict what Lin Xuanzhi would do?

Lian Hua understood this incomparably clearly in his heart — after reincarnating, Chang Sheng was no longer just purely Chang Sheng; instead, he was Lin Xuanzhi, who had fused with a part of Sword Venerable Chang Sheng. By the same token, Youshan Lingyu wasn’t purely Youshan Lingyu anymore. His other identity was Yan Tianhen — that damned Yan Tianhen who was Lin Xuanzhi’s favorite! In the end, it was still different from before.

At least tens of thousands of years ago, when Chang Sheng scattered Youshan Lingyu’s soul with a single sword strike, the sword in his hand never hesitated, nor did it tremble.

And now?

Lian Hua and Yan Tianhen looked at each other for a moment. His eyes suddenly reddened, and he said through gritted teeth, “You’re mistaken. I am not his Dao companion.”

Yan Tianhen blinked.

Lian Hua gnashed his teeth. “Do you know that I hate you to death? How I wish to flay you, rip out your tendons, and dig out your heart to see if it’s actually black! How could you do such a thing? How could you do such a thing!”

Yan Tianhen nodded with some guilt. “I know, so you see, after you locked me up for so many years, made me suffer so much, and even slapped me, I didn’t even point my sword at you.”

“That’s because you can’t beat me!”

“But even when I was able to beat you back then, I never laid hands on you either.”

Lian Hua paused and suddenly raised his voice, shouting, “Do you think I can forgive you just because of this? In your dreams! Don’t even think about it! You bastard! I’ll kill you one day! Chop you into ten thousand pieces and throw you into the depths of the abyss to feed the dogs!”

Yan Tianhen looked at the roaring Lian Hua and kindly corrected, “I’ve been to the abyss before. I can confirm that there are only ghosts; there aren’t any dogs there.”

Lian Hua, “…Ahhhhhh!”

Lian Hua’s chest heaved, clearly furious. He glared at Yan Tianhen fiercely. “Chang Sheng is looking for you all over the city right now. If he finds out that you’re Youshan Lingyu, he will certainly kill you! When that time comes, let’s see if you can still be so arrogant!”

Yan Tianhen shrugged. “You’re wrong about this. If my Dage knew that I was Youshan Lingyu, he would only suffer and find it difficult to decide.”

Speaking of this, Yan Tianhen smiled softly. “His feelings for me are sincere, but he also hates Youshan Lingyu to death and once vowed to execute Youshan Lingyu — how can I be willing to make life difficult for him and make him miserable?”

What kind of bewitchment led you astray? Were there any hidden circumstances that caused it?

Lian Hua looked at Yan Tianhen, who had a sloppy posture and seemed as though he never took the past seriously, and resisted the strong urge to slap him to death.

Lian Hua glared at Yan Tianhen for a while. Suddenly, suspicion flashed through his eyes. “Why can’t I feel the evil Qi on you?”

Yan Tianhen calmly spread his hands. “Because currently, I cultivate spiritual Qi, demonic Qi, and evil Qi all at once. Cultivating the three Qi’s together is the most stable way of cultivation. Spiritual Qi, demonic Qi, and evil Qi can maintain an absolutely stable triangular equilibrium in my body. You can only sense what I want you to sense. Otherwise, why do you think I have the confidence to fool my Dage’s discerning eye?”

Lian Hua stared blankly for a long time. He pursed his red lips and didn’t know what to feel.

“I won’t expose your identity to Chang Sheng.” Lian Hua finally took a deep breath. “But you should remember to hide your fox tail well. Chang Sheng is not easy to fool. If you’re careless, you’ll be exposed in front of him. When that time comes, I will never take your side.”

“Shixiong.” Yan Tianhen smiled, his eyes curving. He looked at Lian Hua and said, “I know his character, his nature, his everything, so I am confident that I can fool him. In this world, as long as you don’t say anything, no one else will ever know. As for the others who might know, I’ve already gone to the celestial prison and erased their memories.”

When Lian Hua heard that address, first he was stunned for a second. Then his expression turned dark, and he glared angrily. “Who allowed you to call me that? Ever since the day when you personally killed Dao Zu, betrayed the Daoist sect, and raised your sword at your former sect members, you and I have nothing to do with each other anymore! Although you and I can talk peacefully when we meet this time, if we see each other in the future, I will surely kill you with my own hands and avenge Master, as well as the whole world!”

“Future matters can be left to the future.” Yan Tianhen waved his hand indifferently. His pinkie made a hooking motion and hooked the storage bag in Lian Hua’s hand from a distance. “This is mine, so I won’t give it to you.”

“Who the fuck wants to take your junk?”

He had opened the storage bag and taken a look before Yan Tianhen arrived. It merely contained some magic treasures and medicinal pills that couldn’t even enter his eyes.

“I’m leaving. You won’t harm me, and I also won’t harm you.”

He turned around and led away the white deer with four antlers. His smile was light and pure, much like the boy lying in his lap while listening to his stories back then. Lian Hua’s eyes suddenly watered, and he hurriedly closed his eyes and raised his face to make a dismissive expression. When this stinging feeling in his eyes finally passed, he opened his eyes looking towards the gate again.

Looking at the door of the palace, the boy leading the white deer in the backlight had already disappeared.

Lian Hua raised his hand in disappointment and gently touched the branch of the blood cypress tree, which was still growing slowly.

…………

Yan Tianhen rode a white deer briskly to an inaccessible mountain area in Youshan Capital.

The memories of his past life, some of which were sealed up with Fu Zhu, had all dissipated with the death of his true form. This time, by chance, he used evil Qi to release Fu Zhu. Once the door of memory was opened, he could no longer keep out the turbulent past.

A day and a night was enough to remember everything he experienced as Youshan Lingyu.

Yan Tianhen casually leaned against a tree and petted Fu Zhu, who was kneeling beside him and licking his arms. “It must’ve been hard on you, waiting for me for so many years, Ah Ci.”

Ah Ci called twice.

Yan Tianhen said, “I found two little friends for you. You won’t have to worry about not having anybody to play with in the future.”

Ah Ci stared happily and gently rubbed Yan Tianhen’s neck with its two front antlers.

Who could have thought that the Youshan evil spirit Fu Zhu, the one that the capital’s citizens said would annihilate the entire city as soon as it appeared — who would’ve thought that this cruel, apathetic, and evil creature full of sins would turn out to be so obedient and innocent.

Yan Tianhen smiled and used the contract to search for Ah Bai and Hu Po, who had been hiding in the mountain wilderness for all these years.

Two tiger roars sounded, and two majestic white tigers jumped out of the dense forest in tandem, dashing towards Yan Tianhen.

“Master!”

“Master!”

Ah Bai and Hu Po’s current cultivation had recovered tremendously along with the improvement in Yan Tianhen’s cultivation, and their cultivation had also been greatly helped. They were no longer the weak and easily bullied tiger cubs they’d been when first entering the Youshan Capital.

Ah Bai was so excited that his eyes were full of tears. He nudged his head into Yan Tianhen’s arms and acted coquettish.

Hu Po was slightly more reserved, but he also couldn’t help rolling around on the spot. He turned into a teenager’s appearance and looked at Yan Tianhen with teary eyes.

“One hundred years. One hundred years and you never allowed me and Hu Po to save you. Did you get other tiger cubs?” Ah Bai asked coquettishly.

Yan Tianhen hugged Ah Bai’s tiger head and comforted him, “Be good, be good. It’s not like I didn’t want to contact you all these years, but I couldn’t even protect myself and my future was uncertain. How could I drag you guys into the water?”

Ah Bai gave a Hmph and also became a teenager, lying in Yan Tianhen’s arms and wiping his tears away.

Just when Ah Bai wanted to express how much he missed Yan Tianhen, he suddenly felt a soft, furry thing between him and Yan Tianhen. Ah Bai looked intently, and it turned out to be a soft and cute rabbit.

Ah Bai and the rabbit glared at each other. After a moment, he grabbed the rabbit’s ear and jumped up suddenly. His eyes were red with anger. “Master, you really did have other demonic pets behind our backs. What is this?!”

Yan Tianhen, “…”

Why do I feel like I’ve been caught in bed?

Fu Zhu knew that Yan Tianhen wanted to hide his identity, so it turned into a rabbit before the two white tigers appeared. Originally, Fu Zhu thought that rabbits were soft and cute, which was not only liked by humans, but also popular among demonic beasts and should be more easily accepted by the two white tigers. But Fu Zhu didn’t expect Ah Bai to show so much resistance.

Fu Zhu scratched the ground with its front paw, looking very wronged. Its pair of gorgeous red eyes looked even more pitiful.

Ah Bai immediately became angry and pointed to the rabbit. “Very good, it’s your pitiful and cute act that seduced my master. Just watch me. I’ll skin that rabbit skin of yours.”

Fu Zhu, “…..”

Fuck, are you for real?

Hu Po also pouted, looking at Yan Tianhen like they’d been abandoned.

Yan Tianhen felt like his head would explode. For fear that Fu Zhu would snap, change back to its original shape, and chew on Ah Bai, he quickly snatched Fu Zhu from Ah Bai’s hands. “Right, so, this is a rabbit I just met. I saw that it has spiritual Qi, so I planned on keeping it around. You guys should get along well and not bully it, or else I’ll be angry.”

Ah Bai, “Ying ying ying!”

Fu Zhu, …Don’t copy me!

Hu Po said with a dark expression on his small face, “Master, all kinds of strange things happen frequently in this Youshan Capital, and every demonic beast here is different. Maybe this demonic beast is actually something more powerful in disguise. You must be careful not to be deceived by its appearance.”

Yan Tianhen thought, My family’s Hu Po really is incredible, carelessly arriving at the truth like this.

Yan Tianhen nodded. “There’s something I need to communicate with you guys first so that when we meet Dage, you won’t let it slip.” Hu Po and Ah Bai simultaneously stared at Yan Tianhen with suspicious eyes.
