Chapter 2494 Memories Of A Celestial
It wasn"t the first time that Lin Mu was dealing with memories. Before this he had gone thought Ashy"s memories in order to get a better understanding of the Sky and had spent time basking in them.
He had also witnessed the memories of his swords, Afternoon Pine and Ocean Raker. But what he was feeling right now was a lot different from then.
"Ugh… So heavy…" Lin Mu felt like the stream of memories was a heavy mountain being pressed upon his head.
It was strange, since memories weren"t a physical object in the first place. And yet he could feel a great metaphorical weight of them.
"Is this what a Celestial"s memories are like?" Lin Mu wondered. Due to the weight, he wasn"t even able to see them clearly and they felt like a blur as they zipped past him.
"Focus." Lin Mo spoke again. "They"ll ease up." He added.
Lin Mu calmed himself and focused on the stream of memories that continued to pour in. He considered it like a river decided to "move" away from the middle and watch it from the sh.o.r.e instead.
"Much better now…" Lin Mu muttered to himself.
Instead of getting overwhelmed by the memories, he could now actually see them clearly. ~SHUA~
He was quickly immersed in them and saw a scene of a woman kneeling in front of a black robed man. The man stood high atop a dais with a still expression on his face.
"My Liege, please permit me to leave your side. I swear upon my true soul I shall return to serve you with greater strength." The woman requested.
The black robed man was silent for a while before finally speaking.
"Becoming a True Celestial is not easy, especially when you"ve already reached the Celestial Realm." The Black Robed man stated. "If you wish to begin again, you will have to give it all up. There"s a great chance you will never return from this. Are you willing to give up your immortality for this?" he questioned.
"I do… I am willing to do everything to become a True Celestial." The woman answered without hesitation.
"Then so be it." The black robed man said as his expression became serious.
~HUALA~
Lin Mu saw a object seemingly rising from behind it. It quickly grew in size and turned into a shrine!
The Shrine stood on four pillars and looked rather divine with its glow.
"Release!" the black robed man ordered as the doors of this shrine opened up.
Inside it, Lin Mu could see four idols of some kind atop pedestals. But that wasn"t all as on the sides of these pedestals he could see small shelves upon which several wisps were floating. Among these wisps there was one Indigo colored wisp that floated out.
Lin Mu found it to be the same color as the one that the memories of which they were seeing.
"A Soul?" Lin Mu was surprised. "But it is a lot bigger than the one in the Soul Container." He noticed.
He watched as the Indigo Soul wisp entered the woman"s body before she screamed.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" her scream gave Lin Mu a headache and he could feel the utter pain that was held in it. While Lin Mu couldn"t feel the pain itself, the emotions that she must"ve felt were certainly sensed by him.
A minute later, the woman"s body seemingly crumbled into dust as a singular indigo orb floated where she had been kneeling.
"Farewell, my servant…" The black robed man said before he thrust his palm towards the indigo orb which shattered into six fragments!
"UGH!" Lin Mu fleet an ache in his head as the memory faded away.
~HUALA~
But that was only for a few seconds as it was quickly replaced by another memory.
This time he saw the Indigo wisp again but it was being kept in a lantern which was placed in a rundown place. It floated there for who knows how longs before a door finally opened, and a little girl walked in.
She looked to be lost and had a scared expression on her face.
Lin Mu watched as she walked up to the only source of light in the dark place and touched the lantern. ~WHOOSH~
As soon as he she did, the indigo wisp jumped out of the lantern and entered her body. A minute later, the scared expression on her face disappeared and was replaced by a content smile.
~HUALA~
The memory ended there and another one glowed in.
In this Lin Mu could hear a cacophony of screams as a bloodied village could be seen in front. There were people missing their limbs everywhere and most of them were dead.
"Die! Die! Die! Die!" A young woman shouted, as streaks of blood trained down her eyes.
A dark cloud of energy was released from her hands as they turned into sharp claws that tore at everyone that tried to run away.
"Ugh…" The memory abruptly ended as Lin Mu"s vision suddenly went blank.
~GONG~
It was quickly replaced by a brightly lit room in which Lin Mu could see hundreds of demons. The young woman was now held at the end of the room, bound in chains that had hundreds of runes on them.
The Demons watched it before someone came forward with a broad staff that had a strange symbol on its top.
The the demon pressed the staff"s head on the young woman"s chest making her scream.
~HUALA~
Next, an indigo wisp was drawn out of her chest!
The indigo wisp tried to run away but another demon appeared with a familiar polyhedral crystal. It was kept safely in a box which he brought closer.
~HONG~
The other demon touched the polyhedral crystal with the staff, trapping the Indigo wisp inside it.
"So that"s how the Soul Fragment ended up there…" Lin Mu finally understood. He also saw the demons bring the Soul container to the underground shrine and seal it in there along with the Punishing Demon Spine Lash.
