watched from a distance that Li Ye was under siege by the rebels. He was forced to set himself on fire on top of the Basaltic Building. As the fire burned, it engulfed the Basaltic Building, and Wu You’s heart had died too.

She couldn’t find Li Ye’s remains but she dug a grave for him in the barren land outside the city. She buried the jade Li Ye had given her as a child. She sat before his grave for three days and nights, and then went to assassinate Zhu Wen alone.

The picture stopped at that frame.

When Wu You’s vision recovered, she realized she was still kneeling before the ancient sword.

The screen behind the floating ancient sword no longer had any light but was dark, and it seemed nothing had happened. It was like she had experienced the past three lives either.

“Do you hate him?” Aside from maturity and compassion, there was anger in the voice this time.

Wu You bit her lip tightly until her red lip had turned pale. Then it was dyed back to red with her blood.

Her eyes had come alive from depression. Her determination was now iron-clad, she then answered word by word, “Ｉ HATE HIM.”

“You should hate him, it’s been three lifetimes. You had given him everything, yet all that he cared about was his country. He was doomed to die for his country, and it’s his destiny. But it’s not yours, so why did you have to sacrifice? He’s not worthy of your sacrifice!” The mature, compassionate voice sounded both hateful and satisfied.

Wu You repeated, “He’s not worthy.”

“In that case, you can go and take the Immortal Inquiring Sword,” said the mature voice with hope and relief. “Hold the Immortal Inquiring Sword. Become Shushan’s Sword Wielder and kill Li Ye. His fate will end and you will also be on the path to the Great Tao. From hereon in, you will no longer love. What you will possess is the direct path beneath your feet towards the Immortal Court in heaven!”

Wu You stood up and walked towards the Immortal Inquiring Sword step by step. She reached out her hand and grabbed the sword handle.

Suddenly blue light erupted and countless rays spread out from the sword. The light had filled the deep hall like the galaxy was hanging on the ceiling. Wu You’s hair and robes floated about. Her eyes were like stars.

All of Shushan shook and thousands of spiritual swords sang and flew out from the buildings in every direction. They passed forests, mountain streams, clouds, and mountain peaks to gather before the Immortal Inquiring Palace.

Thousands of spiritual swords shook together like the ministers frighteningly kneeling before the emperor.

Thousands of disciples flew out from their rooms and looked in the direction of the Immortal Inquiring Palace from the grounds. As they saw what had happened, their faces were filled with respect. Then the thousands of disciples got on their knees and said, “Sword Wielder, at your command!”

Wu You walked out of the Immortal Inquiring palace with the Immortal Inquiring Sword on her back. She came down stepping on clouds like an immortal. Her eyes were full of might and power.

Mo Wenchou, who was guarding the jade steps couldn’t refrain her face from twitching. Her eyes were full of joy when she saw Wu You. Then she shook all over and suddenly the will to serve a master came over her and she couldn’t help kneeling, “Welcome Sword Wielder!”

On this day, with the Immortal Inquiring Sword in hand, Wu You had stepped on the path towards the Great Tao to become the Spiritual Master of the Spiritual Pool.
