Ye Xiu calmed down and thought to himself that no matter how he felt at the moment, there was no way to leave this place immediately. It would be better to try accepting this person's help.
"I still don't know your name."
"Jie."
"Jie?"
"Everyone who knows me calls me Elder Jie."
"Elder Jie... what a strange name."
"After all, I have forgotten how long I have lived. Three thousand years, five thousand years, they are just fragments in the river of my life..." As he spoke, Humanoid White Radiance seemed to fall into memories, a hint of bitterness appearing on his face.
Yan Changting had lived for three thousand years, and Ye Xiu had already decided that he was a monster. Yet, the Elder Jie before him had existed for such an incredibly long time.
Elder Jie was a figure of a higher realm, just like his brother. So how long had his brother truly lived?
And if he was his brother, then what about himself?
"What kind of existence am I?"
Ye Xiu could guarantee that his memories only spanned a little over a decade. During that time, it was only his brother who had been by his side; those moments were also the happiest times. If his brother had lived as long as Elder Jie, could he still be considered his real brother?
Ye Yun, who exactly are you?
"Or rather, who am I really?"
Elder Jie seemed to sense Ye Xiu's confusion. "Child, don't think too much about it. Overthinking won't do you any good. For now, focus on your cultivation and work on harmonizing with your body. That might help you get out sooner."
"Mm." Ye Xiu clenched his fist and nodded firmly.
"What should I do?" Ye Xiu asked.
"First, I'll teach you how to leave the White World. Then, when you reach the location of your body, follow my instructions to refine your physical form, merging it with your soul."
"What is this White World? Doesn't it have a name? White World sounds so unpleasant!"
Hearing Ye Xiu's question, Elder Jie smirked and replied, "As you absorb this Void Power into your body and let it flow through your mind, you might discover something."
After that, Ye Xiu sat cross-legged and began to draw in the Void Power around him as Elder Jie instructed.
As the Void Power entered his body, Ye Xiu plunged his consciousness into it, allowing the power to seep into his mind.
In his search, Ye Xiu found only a fragment of memory that did not belong to him and a single term.
White Realm.
"White Realm..."
"White Realm?" Elder Jie chuckled, looking as if he had expected this.
"Don't move, stay in this state, let your consciousness fade away in your mind. When you wake up, you will have left the White Realm. Even after you go out, I can still keep in touch with you..."
Ye Xiu followed Elder Jie’s instructions and soon lost consciousness.
In a daze, Ye Xiu found himself holding a long sword, his hands stained with someone else's blood. He couldn't see his own face clearly, only that a man in a black and red robe stood before him. The man's handsome features were adorned with a smile, and blood seemed to trickle from the corner of his mouth.
Ye Xiu looked down and realized that the sword he held had pierced the man's chest, blood flowing uncontrollably.
"Brother?" Ye Xiu tentatively tried to call out.
But no sound came; he could feel that his mouth wasn't moving at all—only his soul was crying out.
The person before him resembled his brother, Ye Yun—just a resemblance—but there were also hints of himself in that face.
"With guilt in your heart, you can suffer for ten thousand years. However, I will be gone, and you will be lonely for ten thousand years... By the way, I have always loved you..." The man smiled gently, and at that moment, the warmth of his smile seemed capable of melting away all grievances in the world.
Yet, as Ye Xiu twisted the sword's hilt in his hand, immense pain only caused the man to slightly furrow his brow. That expression of suffering flashed by quickly, replaced by a satisfied smile.
Then, Ye Xiu's hand continued to push forward until the entire sword pierced through the man's chest, until his hand was engulfed in flesh and blood.
"I hold no grudges against you anymore..." he thought.
Then, that hand unleashed a Palm Thunder strike, and the man ceased to breathe.
Ye Xiu felt powerless to change anything, including this... He sensed that their relationship was particularly deep, even filled with love for one another, yet they could not escape this tragic ending.
Dreams are indeed just dreams, merely a script that has long been written, playing out as it was meant to...
Ye Xiu woke up, his mood instantly turning somber, perhaps because of the dream.
The two figures in the dream were strangers to him; he could not see who he was, yet he felt an inexplicable familiarity with the deceased man.
Ye Xiu recalled that this dream was tied to the memories that had surfaced when his consciousness entered his mind alongside the White Realm. But where did these memories that did not belong to him come from...?
Dreams certainly have an impact on those who awaken.
Looking at the familiar yet strangely foreign body before him, Ye Xiu felt a sense of detachment.
He was looking at himself...
"You’re awake."
"Elder Jie, do you know a man dressed in a black and red robe with a handsome face?" Ye Xiu asked.
Elder Jie from the White Realm chuckled slyly, "There are many handsome men in this world; how would I know the one you speak of? Besides, isn’t that your senior brother you’re referring to?"
"Alright, alright, let’s not dwell on that. What should I do next to refine... um... my body?" Ye Xiu said disdainfully as he looked at his own form.
So troublesome...
"If I were to use the power of your soul to deconstruct your body and then piece it back together onto your soul... would you believe that?" Elder Jie laughed.
Ye Xiu shook his head. "I don't believe it!"
"Actually, this is a method, but it might be a bit cruel for you. How about this? I'll give you another method, and you just need to follow it."
"Okay."
"Sit cross-legged, then position your body in the same posture as your soul. With your Supreme Clarity Realm's Soul Cultivation, you can easily control your body. Let your physical form float above your soul, then focus on guiding your physical self into your soul. However, you must endure the pain; this pain that originates from the soul is not something the body can bear. If you can't hold on, stop immediately. Using this method, you will definitely be able to return within a year!"
Ye Xiu said nothing and began to draw his body up to his head with his soul power. The moment his soul made contact with his body, Ye Xiu experienced a pain that penetrated deep into his soul—a heart-wrenching agony that left him breathless.
In just that brief moment of contact, Ye Xiu had already failed; the pain forced him to abandon this attempt.
"Not bad. You managed to hold on for a breath of time during your first try. I've experienced that kind of pain too, and it took me hundreds of years before I dared to commit fully after tasting that suffering."
Ye Xiu's soul trembled; he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. His soul flickered in and out of existence, as if it might vanish at any moment...
