After learning about the origin of the Soul Fragnt, Lin Mu was quite surprised and intrigued at the sa ti. ~SHUA~
"There's more?" But they didn't stop just there.
More mories poured in and Lin Mu got to see them. But these mories didn't seem to be as completed as the ones he had seen so far. They seed more broke and had lot of miscellaneous information in them.
About half of them were simply useless though as they were either about things like daily life or random conversation or were filled with thoughts that didn't make sense. This made Lin Mu think that the mories were likely not intact after the Soul being fragnted.
But still, among them there was enough information that Lin Mu got to learn quite a few things about not just the owner of the Soul but also about the Celestial Realm itself.
The owner of the soul was called as the Withered Spirit Daoist and she seed to be among several other that served a common master. The only thing was that Lin Mu didn't know what this master was called as the always called him as their 'liege'.
'Looks like she got her Daoist title due to her proficiency with the Withering Dao.' Lin Mu figured out. 'And Yao Changying has this too, that ans… She has a Soul Fragnt too!' it all clicked in place.
"Now you get it." Lin Mo finally spoke again. "Though I saw it before too."
"You did?" Lin Mu didn't rember that part clearly.
"I did… When Yao Changying attacked back in the Bridge Plane I sensed not one but two souls inside her." Lin Mo revealed. "Two souls? That ans the sa thing that happened to that little girl happened to Yao Changying." Lin Mu now understood.
In one of the mories of the Soul Fragnt he had witnessed a Little Girl touching the lantern with the Soul Fragnt and getting taken over. She had caused a lot of deaths and as such the demons had sealed the Soul separately.
Lin Mu had wondered why hadn't they just destroyed the soul, but reckoned there might have been limitations that prevented them from doing this.
"It was a bit strange though. If the Celestial's Soul intended to take over her body there would only be one soul present not two." Lin Mo expressed his doubts. "So they are cooperating?" Lin Mu narrowed his eyes. "Quite like one of those 'Fairy Tales' you read." Lin Mo risked. Lin Mu then rembered that among the six that he had read there was one that talked about about a woman falling to the temptation of a forbidden power. They had thought that this did seem like it suited Yao Changying, but now it was making even more sense.
'The little girl and this Soul Fragnt's story also seems to be one of the six. The very first story was the only one that talked about a little girl… this does fit the bill.' Lin Mu thought to himself. 'There were also Six Soul Fragnts created from the single soul… if each story is for one fragnt then this has happened at least five tis before!' he concluded.
They had originally thought that multiple stories fit Yao Changying, but now it was clear that each story belonged to a different incident. This revelation was quite concerning though, as now they had more things to worry about.
"If she's cooperating with that soul, she's collecting the soul fragnts for it." Lin Mu muttered in understanding. "But why didn't the soul simply take over and is cooperating instead. As a Celestial Soul, even if its just a fragnt it should be enough to control her right?" he was confused.
"There might be more to it that we don't know about." Lin Mo also was at a loss here. "It could be as simple as Yao Changying offering sothing that made the Soul Tempted enough to not take control, or the Soul knows sothing that makes it more favorable for her to not assimilate the host's soul." He stated.
"Hmm… if we assu that the soul has a reason not to assimilate, then perhaps her gathering the other soul fragnts could be a condition for the 'independence'." Lin Mu tried to analyze it. "She also learned a lot of skills and got information that others wouldn't normally have, thus that could be the benefits being offers day the other Soul Fragnt." Lin Mo silently listened to Lin Mu, feeling a bit amused. After a few second though, Lin Mu stopped as more mories were flowing in.
In these Lin Mu learned about the Celestial Realm. He learned about a few regions in it such as the Cracked Sun World and the Frozen Rain Realm. Both were totally unknown to him, but the Withered Soul Daoist had been living in these places before as her master had dominion over both of them. It was clear that whoever was the master was quite strong.
He also learned about a few miscellaneous pills and herbs, but after that the mories seemingly ca to an end.
~SHUA~
Lin Mu felt a wave of exhaustion having gone through it. Though as much as he wanted to simply sleep he knew this was not the ti.
After all, Lin Mo was still in control right now.
As such he mustered through and observed.
Thankfully for him, Lin Mo seed to be behaving and was standing still in the real world.
"This is it for now." Lin Mo spoke. "Though if you want, feel free to call out at any ti. It's fine being out." He laughed before relinquishing the control voluntarily to Lin Mu.
~SHUA~
Lin Mu felt the sensation of his body once more and took a deep breath. Surprisingly enough though, the exhaustion he was feeling earlier went away too and he felt more energetic than before.
"This is strange…" Lin Mu checked his body just to be sure and realized that his Qi was fully replenished. "Did absorbing the Soul Fragnt actually restore my Qi to this level?" He had thought that he would get no energy since Lin Mo had said the Soul Fragnt was lacking it.
"It might have been lacking energy but it is still a Celestial Soul Fragnt. The remnant energy in was probably still a rich amount." Xukong spoke up sensing that Lin Mu was back in control.
"It seems like it… Though more than the energy, the mories I gained from it were a lot more valuable." Lin Mu said. "I'll show you, Senior." He quickly shared them.
~SHUA~
Xukong spent a few minutes going through them and by the ti they were done he was silent.
"Other than the mories, you've also gained a lot of questions, haven't you?" Xukong knew.
Lin Mu simply nodded to that.
~SIGH~
"I'd want to answer them too, but the restrictions won't let ." Xukong replied.
"There's a way to overco that." Lin Mo suddenly spoke.
"Huh? What?" Lin Mu asked feeling curious.
Xukong also wondered what the thod might be.
"You have sothing that can do that. Sothing you haven't used so far." Lin Mo said making Lin Mu intrigued. "The Heaven Silencing Seal." He revealed.
"The Heaven Silencing Seal!?" Lin Mu truly hadn't used it as Xukong was also wary of it. "But that's ant to stop Tribulations." He added.
"Not necessarily." Lin Mo spoke. "You can't just assess it from how the Lost Immortal used it… Think of the description." He added.
"Silences the voice of the Heavens…" Xukong muttered. "Voice of the Heavens can be the Tribulations… but it can also be the retaliation when restrictions are broken." Lin Mu's eyes went wide as he understood this.
"Exactly." Lin Mo had already figured this out a while back. "We have no surety of that." Xukong said. "Even if you don't there won't be a harm will it?" Lin Mo retorted. "It's not like he's suppressing a Tribulation with it. If it doesn't work it just ans Senior Xukong won't be able to speak about the Celestial 'Secrets'. In the worst case it will simply fail." Lin Mo suggested.
It was certainly sothing they hadn't considered before and now that Lin Mu had heard it he was very, very tempted. At the very least he knew from the Lost Immortal moirs that the Heaven Silencing Seal hadn't brought him any direct harm. Though he hadn't used it in the way that Lin Mo was suggesting either.
But then again it was a unique situation that not every person would be able to get into anyways as it would an they'd need a willing Celestial telling them about it.
"I want to do it Senior." Lin Mu stated firmly.
Xukong was silent for a minute before replying. "Then so be it." He gave in too.
Now the only issue was how they would do it.
"We best do it in the Sleepscape. It might be safer that way." Lin Mu suggested next.
