CHAPTER 45: CHAPTER 45: UNRESOLVED MATTERS (EXTRA UPDATE WITH RECOMMENDATION TICKET)

The Golden Ancient Books still levitated in mid-air.

But the moment the Rascal Corpse disappeared, the Future Book among the Golden Ancient Books revealed a line of text visible only to Xin Lin.

"Congratulations, for temporarily sealing the Ancient Corpse, you have gained 20 Heaven-defying Value."

On the Modern Book section of the Heaven-defying Book, Xin Lin’s life master attributes changed accordingly.

"Life Master: Xin Lin

Identity: Dragon Ascending Orphan

Cultivation: Dark Power, none

Spiritual Power, Basic-level Spirit Warrior

Heaven-defying Value: 20"

Hahaha——

Inside Xin Lin’s heart, a miniature version of herself stood with arms akimbo, laughing heartily up to the sky.

Rascal Corpse, how arrogant you were.

You looked down on me, you looked down on my defunct Immortal Talisman, you looked down on the Heaven-defying Book.

We part ways here, so long!

Overjoyed within, yet Xin Lin maintained a calm exterior, only her clenched fists sweating with a cold stickiness.

Only she understood how dangerous the situation had just been.

The spell of the defunct Sealing Spirit Talisman was just her guess, after all.

Since it came from the Heaven-defying Book, naturally, it had to abide by its rules.

Success lies in Heaven’s will, defying Heaven is up to us; three verses of defiance, humanity will triumph over Heaven—these aphorisms were precisely the spell for the defunct talisman.

"The Corpse King, you sealed the Corpse King."

Ah Piao, headless, was astonished, having thought they were doomed this time.

"Let’s leave the Ghost Cave quickly, without the Rascal Corpse, this place will soon collapse, and I have drained all my spiritual power, unable to use the Ghost Escape Technique."

Xin Lin said weakly.

The Sealing Spirit Talisman had taken effect, exhausting all the spiritual power inside Xin Lin.

As the Ghost Escape Technique was about to take effect, an image of the Rascal Corpse’s disappearance flashed through Xin Lin’s mind.

"Congratulations, for temporarily sealing the Ancient Corpse, you have gained 20 Heaven-defying Value."

Temporary sealing—what did that mean?

And what was the use of those 20 Heaven-defying Value?

Not daring to be careless, Ah Piao recited the spell; one human, one ghost, without waiting for Xin Lin to ponder further, both figures vanished within the Ghost Cave.

Right after the disappearance of the human and ghost, the Ghost Cave shook, and giant boulders tumbled down, burying the Ancient Coffin and everything else completely.

Just before dawn at the foot of Luoyin Mountain, the air was filled with the freshness of morning dew.

Distant mountains were immersed in a milky fog, faintly discernible, and the village lights among them twinkled, heralding the approach of a new day.

A day and a night later, Xin Lin finally made it out of the Ghost Cave alive.

Following behind her, was the headless Ah Piao.

After resting for a moment and eating some dry food, Xin Lin recovered some strength.

After dawn broke, Xin Lin bid farewell to Ah Piao and was ready to descend the mountain.

Behind her came a rustling sound; turning back, she saw Ah Piao following.

"Why are you following me? The Ghost Cave is gone, and I have sealed the Corpse King. No one will bully you anymore; go do whatever you need to do."

Xin Lin did not want to carry a burden; she was a Hundred Life Evil Ghost, her destiny crossed with a deadly star, and although she had managed to fight for four more years this lifetime, what would happen in those four years, or whether the Heavenly Destiny Book would change again, was uncertain.

Clear on the pages of the Heavenly Destiny Book, she was now Longteng Xinlin.

Surely she was meant to complete her predestined tribulation; now she had two concerns left unresolved.

"I have nowhere to go; I missed the best moment for reincarnation. Unless a capable cultivator helps me open the Life and Death Mysterious Gate, only then can I enter reincarnation."

Ah Piao stammered.

His relatives and friends had all died many years ago; he was utterly alone and had no idea where to go.
