BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1099: The First Heretic
Meng Xianzi herself had always lived in Yunlong Zhuzhai, so she knew many things, including Danielle\'s condition. "The Sea Flower Realm is too distant from this realm, and it will likely take you four to five months to travel back and forth. Since you sent your clone back to await the birth of your children, I think it would be better if you went there after they gave birth. Perhaps Ling Tian has returned before they are born, and you can ask him for help to bring his realm to this realm area."
"Four to five months round trip, huh?" Ling Yun\'s clone muttered to himself before thinking of something else. "I think I can use another way to go to that realm, so I don\'t have to leave them behind, and I can still accompany them."
"Do you intend to take your fortress there?"
"Yes." Ling Yun\'s clone nodded to Meng Xianzi. "In fact, I myself have been to the Sea Flower Realm a long time ago, and the situation in these upper realms has become safer with the heretics gone. That\'s why I think it\'s okay if I take the fortress there, and we\'ll come back here again after I find a cure for Danielle."
*Thud*
"I think you shouldn\'t go there for now, Ling Yun." They turned to Lyra, who had just landed beside them. "Zhu Ling has indeed stopped chasing you, but I\'m sure he still hasn\'t gotten over Invidia\'s death. Even if you meet him with your real body, you\'re still no match for him, let alone if your clone has to face him. He, my queen, and Xian Di are currently in seclusion, trying to break through to the three immortal realms. However, the advancement of our natural races differs from that of you humans, requiring more time. Therefore, I believe it would be more beneficial for you to visit them after they have reached the supreme realm."
Ling Yun\'s clone was surprised by that. "Did Wang Jinlong also help them break through? Does that mean Nu Shen has become the elf queen?"
"Haha." Lyra laughed softly and nodded. "Our princess has become our queen now, but she is still not ready for the responsibility. She frequently expressed her dissatisfaction and urged me to return, but my former queen prohibited me from doing so. Anyway, you are right that Wang Jinlong helped them; he gave them so many ancient herbs for them to break through."
"I see." Ling Yun\'s clone nodded in understanding at that. "In that case, you can tell me after they ascend to the supreme realm, and I will immediately ask Xiao Yin to take the fortress there, so I can go to the Tianshan Realm to heal Danielle."
"Can I talk to you alone?" Long Yuyi suddenly asked Ling Yun\'s clone.
Meng Xianzi immediately informed Ling Yun\'s clone through voice transmission, so he right away nodded in agreement to Long Yuyi. "Let\'s go; we can talk somewhere else."

Moments later, Ling Yun\'s clone and Long Yuyi were already outside the barrier protecting the northern region. "Are you worried about your changes?"
"Did my master tell you about it?" Ling Yun\'s clone nodded to Long Yuyi. "My master told me that there was a seed inside my body, and it was starting to affect me, but she was unwilling to explain the details to me. Every time my cultivation broke through, it almost made me lose control and became so bloodthirsty, which terrified me."
Ling Yun\'s clone sighed in his heart as he had long known about the evil seed inside Long Yuyi\'s soul, and he suspected that it had something to do with the devil race, especially since his devil soul reacted to it.
"Honestly, I have the same worries as you, especially since I have a devil soul. My devil soul has become increasingly powerful, surpassing the strength of my other souls. In fact, it is increasingly influencing me, to the point where I often consider choosing the devil\'s path. However, I always remember all my wives and family, and their existence really helps me to suppress that urge." Ling Yun\'s clone then grabbed Long Yuyi\'s hand. "You are a kind-hearted woman, and you have many people who love you by your side. My father-in-law, my mother-in-law, Aunt Die, Qiu\'er, and Brother Zhan love you very much. If it starts to affect you again, you must remember them and immediately suppress it, and their existence will definitely help you not to be subject to it."
"You\'re right, all of them love me very much, and I love them very much myself, so I will work hard to resist that temptation for my sake and theirs." Long Yuyi paused for a moment before posing the question. "Can you help me remove that seed from my soul?"
"I don\'t have an answer for that yet, and I have to try it first."
Long Yuyi immediately pulled Ling Yun\'s clone to sit on the ground. "In that case, I want you to enter my soul space and try to remove it."
"All right, I will try to enter your soul to check it, and I will try to remove it if I can do it."
.

A while later, the two of them entered Long Yuyi\'s soul space and observed the seeds floating within. Furthermore, the seeds had begun to sprout, and the sprouts were black in color. "What exactly is this seed? I\'ve seen it many times, and I\'m sure that my bloodlust comes from it, but I can\'t feel anything negative from it."
"I don\'t know exactly what kind of seed this is." Ling Yun\'s clone then reached forward to touch the evil seed, but it moved away from him, surprising him and Long Yuyi. "Hmm? This seed seems to be alive and has a mind of its own."
"Yes." Long Yuyi immediately went up to the evil seed and wanted to touch it, but Ling Yun\'s clone right away stopped her. "Why?"
Ling Yun\'s clone shook his head in response. "You should not touch it, or it will continue to affect you."
"Then-"
"You should listen to him and not touch that seed, little girl."
The woman\'s voice suddenly surprised Long Yuyi, but Ling Yun\'s clone was not surprised by her appearance, especially since he had long known that a tiny portion of her soul had infiltrated his soul space. Although the current him was just a clone, he was connected to his real body in real time, and his soul was his true soul.
Long Yuyi immediately asked her. "Who are you? How did you enter my soul space?"
"She is the life goddess, Sheng Ming, who is also one of those immortals." Long Yuyi turned to Ling Yun\'s clone in shock. "She put a tiny portion of her soul into my soul space, so you shouldn\'t be surprised if she could come in here since my soul is here now."
"I see." Long Yuyi nodded in understanding and turned to Sheng Ming again. "Senior-"
"No need." Sheng Ming then looked at the evil seed before flicking her slender finger, and a ball of light instantly enveloped it, causing it to move around wildly in an attempt to break free. Unfortunately, it was still a small seed, and it would not be able to fight back against the power of an immortal like her. "I cannot remove this seed from your soul, but I can slow down its expansion, and my light seed can slowly purify it. However, if you fall into despair one day, it will be futile, and you will turn into an evil cultivator."
"What?" Long Yuyu cried out in shock as her body trembled. "Will... will it affect me to that extent, Senior?"
"Yes." Sheng Ming nodded to Long Yuyi. "Eliminating your seven emotions is the only way to stop this need, so you never fall into despair and it cannot bloom."
"Eliminate my seven emotions?" Long Yuyi muttered to herself. "Doesn\'t that mean I\'ll turn into an emotionless woman?"
"That is the best solution, but you still have another option," Sheng Ming said to Long Yuyi. "However, human emotions are too fragile, so I\'m not sure you can control your emotions if something happens in the future, and this seed will fully bloom once you fall into despair. If this seed fully affects you, you will become a bloodthirsty evil cultivator, and you will bring great danger to those closest to you."
"What exactly is this seed? How can it be in my body? How can it turn me into such a person?"
Sheng Ming released a heavy sigh and waved his hand, creating a qi screen in front of them. On the Qi screen, Ling Yun\'s clone and Long Yuyi saw a man killing countless people with a dark red sword in his hand, and they could see that he had no consciousness; even a strong bloodlust radiated from his body.
"Who is that guy?" Ling Yun\'s clone asked.
"His name is Jian Xieshen, and he is the sword demon immortal." Ling Yun\'s clone and Long Yuyi turned to Sheng Ming with a frown. "Although he is a part of us, he is different from us, and he is the first heretic cultivator in this universe. Not even Huang Lingzhu knew how he created that evil seed, but she suspected that it was born from his twisted and evil ambitions. He was already very cruel before he had the seed, and he became even more cruel after he had it. As you can see, the seed took over him, and he became a bloodthirsty killer. Not only did he kill several immortals, but he also killed billions of other living beings. In the end, we decided to kill him, but the seed disappeared on its own, and we never managed to find it, so we were unable to destroy it."
