Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2436  Fairy Tales Of Prophecy

The book was not big and had about six stories in them, thus Lin Mu finished reading them quickly. The first story was about a little girl who would search for her goal in life and sacrifice a lot for it.

The second story was about a woman who had lost all she had and needed retribution for her actions.

The third story was about a woman who had been betrayed and wished for nothing but revenge in her life.

The fourth story was about a woman who had fallen for the temptation of forbidden power and decided to embrace it.

The fifth story was about a witch that charmed a girl into doing her bidding. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

And finally, the sixth story was about a peasant girl who rose to become the supreme ruler of a world!

At first, the stories seemed obscure, but the more they compared it to Yao Changying's actions, the more they seemed to match. "The First, second, and fourth story seem to match Yao Changying's history somewhat, but the Third, fifth and sixth are not yet done." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated.

"The second is a bit incorrect, though. Yao Changying hasn't exactly lost everything, has she?" Min Ju asked.

"Well, she has been excommunicated from her sect and is now the target of majority of the Orthodox powers thus, it can count as second." Ziran replied.

"She seems to be working on the sixth story though." Crown Princess Shang scoffed.

Lin Mu knew that while the stories were debatable, they were eerily similar and definitely held some weight. At the very least, he wondered how they had even found out about this book.

"Where did you get this?" Lin Mu questioned.

"We had been looking into leads about Yao Changying and her ultimate goals, but were not having good results. As such, Qiao De decided that he could probably find out more information if he utilized his connections through the Black Candle pavilion.

This worked out quite well, and he even managed to extract some information from the Black Ying Empire members. It is from one of these sources that he learned of Yao Changying collecting various books, documents and manuscripts of the Demonic Tribes as well as those of the times before the formation of the current powers.

Among these, Qiao De learned of a book that Yao Changying had been searching for and he managed to discover its location first. He asked for our help, and as such Daoist Chu, Ziran and Monk Hushu set out to obtain it. They were gone for two years and have finally returned with it." Crown Prince Feng Shun explained in detail.

"So, it was this book?" Lin Mu was intrigued, to say the least. "Is it like a book of prophecy?" Lady Kang asked, considering the fact that it was written long ago and Yao Changying was barely three thousand years old. "It does seem like that," Ziran replied. "The Demons have a tradition of passing old prophecies in the form of stories and tales like these as they have a higher chance of survival. Plus, if it is a negative prophecy about someone, that person wouldn't be able to eliminate it as easily either." He explained a bit more about the culture of the demons.

"But why would she look for this book?" Elder Hu who had been silent all this time, asked.

"That is something we don't know yet. But it could be that she doesn't want us or others finding out about it, or perhaps she's looking for guidance through it." Monk Hushu, who had thought a lot about it, answered.

"Guidance huh… that just might be it." Lin Mu muttered. "Her actions in the Bridge Plane did seem to be a bit erratic." But as he thought of that, he was reminded of other things he had almost forgotten about.

"Wait… what happened to the others that were on the expedition with us?" Lin Mu suddenly asked as he recalled Mei Nienzhen, whose gift had helped them survive.

"Unlike us, they managed to leave the trial grounds early on." Crown Prince Feng Shun answered.

"They did?" Lin Mu raised his brows.

"A majority of them did, at least. And they left within three years too." The Crown Prince replied. "The ones that survived managed to return to their homes."

"Your hypothesis of those shrines all leading to separate Spatial planes was correct." Daoist Chu praised. "Though they were much smaller than the one we went too and utilized a lot more of illusory arrays to set of the trials. The rewards from them were also a lot inferior to what we got." He added.

"I see… it's good that they managed to return safely." Lin Mu was relieved about that. "But is there anything else that has managed to leave that Bridge Plane?" he asked next.

"If you mean the Chimeric Beasts and those Yin Nascent Soul Worms, then no," Crown Prince Feng Shun said, much to their relief. "We had been worried about that too and so far there have been no attacks by them or even sightings of them." He affirmed.

~PHEW~

Lin Mu couldn't help but take a breath of relief hearing that.

After all, the danger posed by those creatures was massive and if released into the Rust Sky World, they could very well bring the apocalypse. The Death Qi and chimeric Qi that they held alone were enough to turn massive tracts of area into inhospitable environment.

Not to mention they could continue to grow their numbers as long as they had a steady source of sustenance, which there was a lot of in the Rust Sky World.

Considering the lack of reinforcements for at least seventy five years, if those creatures managed to leave the Bridge Plane, the people of the Rust Sky World would have no option but to perish.

The situation of the Rust Sky World was now very difficult as their reinforcements were cut off and they now had to rely on themselves. But doing this was not easy, as Yao Changying's ability to influence people was terrifying.
