However, what Kunlun didn’t know was that not long after Na Ling died, her soul awakened her consciousness.
The moment her soul woke up, Na Ling saw the gory and cruel scene of Kunlun being devoured by those demon beasts. As for her, she was hidden in the barrier by Kunlun and could only watch helplessly.
After Kunlun was devoured by the demon beasts, Na Ling was afraid that she would forget Kunlun after her rebirth. Therefore, for the past ten thousand years, Na Ling’s soul had been waiting in the cemetery.
She waited day after day and looked forward to Kunlun’s rebirth. If she didn’t await Kunlun’s reincarnation, she would never choose to be reborn.
After so long, she had finally awaited Kunlun. “Kunlun, you’re finally here to see me.” Even though his identity was ordinary after he returned and he didn’t even have a complete body, he still came to fulfill the promise.
Kunlun’s heart skipped a beat when he saw the tears in Na Ling’s eyes.
“Na Ling.” Kunlun wanted to help Na Ling wipe her tears, but his hand missed again. Kunlun licked his lips and said uneasily, “I haven’t found all the bones scattered in the Kunlun Mystic Realm, so I can’t be considered the real Kunlun Divine Master… Na Ling, I don’t remember you yet.”
Na Ling shook her head and said, “It’s okay. After knowing that you’ve successfully reincarnated, I can rest in peace.”
Na Ling’s soul had waited in the cemetery for ten thousand years and used her remaining soul power to create an inheritance test for Beatrice. Now, Na Ling’s soul power was very weak, and her soul body looked transparent.
She seemed fragile enough to disperse with the wind.
Na Ling knew that her soul consciousness was about to dissipate, so she suddenly walked towards Yu Huang.
Yu Huang froze, but then she heard Na Ling say in a sad tone, “I hope you don’t tell Kunlun about Na Luo’s existence.”
Yu Huang’s heart ached when she heard this.
She could understand Na Ling’s thoughts.
Kunlun had already reincarnated and had long forgotten what happened in his previous life. If Kunlun found out that he and Na Ling’s only daughter in his previous life had lived alone in an alternate world for ten thousand years and was bullied so miserably, as a father, he would definitely blame himself and feel anguished.
Therefore, Na Ling wanted to bear all the sorrow alone.
Yu Huang lowered her eyes and replied, “…Okay.”
Seeing that Yu Huang had agreed to her request, Na Ling heaved a sigh of relief and floated to Beatrice.
Looking at Beatrice in admiration, Na Ling said, “In the ancient era, merfolk were just ordinary sea demon beasts. They didn’t even have intelligence. It was only when Kunlun became a Divine Master that I was lucky enough to be promoted to an ancient merman. Because the merfolk had similar bloodlines, they also awakened their intelligence and became an advanced intelligent race. In a sense, you can be considered my descendant.”
Hearing this, Beatrice couldn’t help but think of the feud between Na Luo and the merfolk.
The merfolk existed because of Na Ling, but they cruelly bullied and killed Na Ling’s only daughter.
Na Ling seemed to know why Beatrice felt uneasy. She sighed and said, “You’re a good child. Na Luo’s death has nothing to do with you. I won’t take my anger out on you.”
Hearing this, Beatrice felt sad and said, “Senior, I feel deeply guilty about what happened to Na Luo.”
Na Ling shook her head and said, “But Na Luo also killed all your clansmen, so you guys are even now. The merman race only has you left, and you successfully came to me. I think this is fate.”
“The fact that you passed my test is enough to prove that you are an outstanding and determined child. You deserve to obtain my inheritance.”
Beatrice hurriedly knelt down and bowed three times to Na Ling. “Thank you, Senior Na Ling.”
Na Ling’s figure became even more illusory.
Her body swayed a few times. Just as her soul body was about to dissipate, it condensed again at the last moment. However, this time, Na Ling looked even weaker.
Na Ling said to Beatrice, “I’m Kunlun’s beast form. I was born because of Kunlun. It’s my duty to protect Kunlun and cooperate with him in battle. Kunlun mainly cultivates the Dao of Slaughter, and I’m Kunlun’s killing weapon. My strongest cultivation technique is called the Buddha Pagoda!”
Na Ling continued, “The Buddha Pagoda cultivation technique I created is a fourth-grade divine-grade cultivation technique. After mastering it, one can summon nine divine pagodas at the same time. What a coincidence. The Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda you used in the illusion just now was the first move in the Buddha Pagoda cultivation technique.”
Hearing this, Beatrice revealed a shocked expression. “Senior, you’re saying that the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda is the first move in the Buddha Pagoda cultivation technique?”
“That’s right,” Na Ling said. “Before the war, I divided the Buddha Pagoda cultivation technique into nine steps. Although my daughter, Na Luo, entered the spatial rift together with it, I didn’t expect you to find it.”
Beatrice hurriedly explained, “On the Holy Spirit Continent, there’s a place called the Lou Lan Ancient Pavilion. There’s a Time Valley on the surface of the Lou Lan Ancient Pavilion. The energy in the Time Valley is chaotic and overbearing. It opens every three years, and my Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda cultivation technique was found in the Time Valley.”
Beatrice didn’t expect that the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda was actually one of the scrolls in the Buddha Pagoda cultivation technique created by Na Ling.
It was fate.
“It’s indeed fate.” Na Ling nodded and said with relief, “You were able to obtain the recognition of the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda and successfully refine it, which proves that you are the fated one. I think it won’t be too difficult for you to accept my inheritance.”
As she spoke, Na Ling raised her right palm and closed her eyes. The ink-blue curly hair on her back fluttered as s milky white spiritual power emerged from Na Ling’s body and gathered in her palm to form the phantom of an ancient tower. The shape of the tower was very strange. It was formed by nine overlapping towers. The first tower was a nine-pointed nine-story tower. It was the miniature version of the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda that Beatrice cultivated.
The second tower was an octagonal eight-story tower, and the third was a seven-story tower…
The tower on the top was the smallest and shortest. There was only one floor, and there was an ink-blue spiritual energy bead on the top of the tower.
Na Ling opened her eyes and stared at the ink-blue Spiritual Energy Pearl on the top of the tower as she said to Beatrice, “When you successfully form the Spiritual Energy Pearl on the top of the tower, it will mean that you’ve completely mastered the Buddha Pagoda cultivation technique. With the Buddha Pagoda cultivation technique, you can trap all the Beast Tamers below your cultivation level in the pagoda. In just three minutes, you can crush their bodies.”
As Na Ling gently stroked the Buddha Pagoda, she revealed a nostalgic gaze and said, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the Buddha Pagoda dyed red with blood.”
Beatrice was speechless.
Upon hearing Na Ling’s murmur, Yu Huang and the others secretly looked at each other and revealed reverent expressions.
Senior Na Ling was indeed the wife and beast form of the Divine Master. Like Kunlun, she was good at slaughter.
They were really a match made in heaven.
