第五卷 天云十二州 第一千二百一十九章 林轩与月儿的前世

Several months later, Lin Xuan finally completed his work. In the quiet room, a plain-looking youth was sitting cross-legged, and before him hung a translucent and splendid war armor that floated gently in the air. The armor shimmered with a faint light; although it appeared light and thin, its defensive power was unquestionable.

The surface of the armor was engraved with many intricate patterns, most of which Lin Xuan couldn't decipher, but they must have their own unique uses.

Lin Xuan looked at the treasure before him, and even with his deep-seated composure, a smile of satisfaction spread across his face.

Thinking back to how he obtained that secret from the Jade Box and finally succeeded in crafting this armor after two hundred years of effort, countless precious materials had been poured into it. Every single item Lin Xuan possessed was imbued with his heart and soul.

Thankfully, his efforts paid off. According to what the Jade Cylinder said, the power of this armor was formidable, especially against ghostly creatures and those who practiced fire attributes. Should he test it out first? A glint appeared in his eyes as he decided to proceed. He waved his sleeve, and a green sword beam emerged like a fish swimming through the storm, quickly growing several feet long.

"Quick!" Lin Xuan pointed with his finger, and the green sword beam instantly lunged forward. The attack was swift and precise.

The armor showed no signs of damage; it seemed as if nothing had happened at all. Its defensive power far exceeded what he had anticipated.

To think that even though the sword beam was a casual strike from Lin Xuan, his strength was already on par with an early-stage Golden Core cultivator using their life-bound treasure to its fullest extent.

Lin Xuan's face lit up with joy as he took a deep breath. A small phoenix appeared before him and spiraled into his brow. "Humph!"

His eyes turned emerald green as he shouted, "King of the Asuras…"

Recalling Moon's identity now felt like a dream. He remembered how they first met in that old, dilapidated house, where the poor little ghost was sobbing pitifully.

Later, with his guidance, she embarked on her path to cultivation. Although she couldn't swallow any elixirs, her progress was astonishingly rapid. At the time, he felt something was amiss, but he never imagined that the secret behind it would be so shocking. Being with this girl might mean facing true immortals in the future.

But it didn't matter; eternal life was no longer his ultimate goal. What did it matter if he couldn't live as long as Moon and the heavens?

He wondered what had happened millions of years ago, but it didn’t matter now.

In your past life, you were the King of the Asuras, and in this life, I will protect you.

Through the giant cocoon, a warm feeling washed over him, as if he was holding Moon in his arms.

Suddenly—

Boom!

Countless silver light halos suddenly appeared on the surface of the cocoon, with runes flickering within them. Lin Xuan felt himself enveloped by these silvery lights.

The sudden change left even Lin Xuan momentarily at a loss for words.

He found himself in an endless expanse of starry voids.

"Where am I?"

Lin Xuan turned around, releasing his divine sense, but there was nothing to be seen except the stars and the boundless darkness.

"This place… where is this?"

He looked around, but he could only feel the faint glow of starlight. He couldn’t even tell if it was still the mortal world.

How had he been transported here from his cave?

Lin Xuan’s face darkened as this power seemed to defy the natural order of things.

Could Moon's existence have been revealed by a true immortal?

A chill ran down his spine, but when he turned around, the white cocoon was nowhere to be seen.

If any other cultivator were here, they would likely panic, but Lin Xuan remained calm. He had already considered the worst-case scenario, and it wasn’t likely.

Had this happened because of contact with the cocoon? Could there be a connection between Moon's past life as the legendary Lord of the Netherworld and this situation?

"King of the Asuras…" Lin Xuan frowned in thought.

"King of the Asuras…" Lin Xuan frowned in thought.

Suddenly—

A beautiful woman appeared before him.

Boom!

Lin Xuan felt an indescribable shock.

Was there such a woman in the world? In two hundred years, he had seen countless beauties, but none could compare to this one. Even the most beautiful women paled in comparison to her. She was beyond description; she was the epitome of beauty. This was the first beauty in the Three Realms.

Despite her beauty, there was also a sense of nobility. Once the ruler of the Netherworld, even though she had suppressed her spiritual pressure, Lin Xuan still felt humbled as if he were a tiny ant before a deity. Yet, there was an inexplicable feeling of familiarity and closeness.

Lin Xuan could tell that although they looked different on the surface, their essence was similar. She was indeed the reincarnation of the King of the Asuras. But why did she still exist when Moon was already here? Lin Xuan’s expression was complex, but his gaze naturally exuded a sense of closeness.

"Is it you, Moon?" He didn’t know how to speak and blurted out her name.

The beautiful woman raised an eyebrow in surprise: "How do you know my name?"

According to the rules of the Netherworld, girls' names were not casually shared with others. Even those of high status kept their names secret from even their closest subordinates, the Five Kings.

Lin Xuan scratched his head; he had just spoken without thinking and was surprised that she too was called Moon in her past life.

If it were any other true immortal… even a Core Formation cultivator, Lin Xuan would have shown utmost respect, but towards Moon, he only felt closeness, not the slightest bit of reverence. "Because I told you!"

"You told me?" The beautiful woman was stunned as she frowned lightly. Even though she was angry, her beauty remained captivating.

Even true immortals would never dare to tease such a young man. This boy was just an insignificant ant! What audacity!

Lin Xuan’s heart raced with a mix of emotions, but he couldn’t help feeling close to this woman who was once the King of the Asuras. "Is it you, Moon?"
