742: Chapter 742 The Secret of Bai Zhilan
Qin Xiao's Clone took Yu Ruoxian and Bai Aoxue, flew for a month, and after confirming that Su Tianshen was not chasing them, they stopped at a small life-bearing planet.
"Sigh! Finally safe. My body really seems destined to be chased. This time, I have been on the run for over a decade; I was almost exhausted to death."
Qin Xiao let out a long sigh of relief, feeling much more settled. His Clone was almost as strong as his original body, but he lacked an Extremity Emperor Weapon. If he encountered Su Tianshen, he would definitely be no match.
It was clear from the battle between the Heavenly Yuan Corpse Emperor and the Nether Dragon Corpse Emperor that even though they held a damaged Extremity Emperor Weapon, they still dared to pursue him.
But when they encountered Su Tianshen, who held a complete Extremity Emperor Weapon, they immediately chose to flee. From this, one could see the terrifying nature of an Extremity Emperor Weapon.
A Quasi-Emperor Realm cultivator with an Extremity Emperor Weapon and one without are two completely different extremes.
"However, this trip was quite fruitful. I have snatched two more beauties, and most importantly, they both have qi luck values. It is a pleasant surprise."
Following that, a joyful smile appeared on Qin Xiao's face. "Hmm, no, it is three. That Female Corpse King is still in my hands."
For the past decade, he had been busy fleeing and had no time to check on White Zilan's specific situation, almost forgetting her existence.
Thinking this, he flashed and entered the space container where White Zilan was being held.
As soon as he entered, he saw White Zilan sitting on a swing, swaying back and forth. Her snow-white clothing matched her beautiful appearance, and in the gentle breeze, she appeared exceptionally full of Immortal Qi.
This scene was very eerie. She was a corpse, yet to Qin Xiao, she felt like a female immortal. The Death Qi on her was so faint that it could almost be ignored—this was definitely not normal.
Because those with higher strength, like the Heavenly Yuan Corpse Emperor and the Nether Dragon Corpse Emperor, could not achieve this. The Death Qi on them was always soaring into the sky; no matter how they tried to hide it, they could not.
Yet, Qin Xiao could hardly see any characteristics of an Evil Corpse on White Zilan.
"It seems you are living quite comfortably. How come you aren't worried at all that I might harm you?"
Qin Xiao came up behind White Zilan and gently pushed the swing, chuckling.
"What is the use of worrying? Since I have fallen into your hands, my life and death are no longer in my control. It is better to live each day happily."
Upon hearing Qin Xiao's words, White Zilan turned her head slightly to look at him. Her soft, red lips parted slightly as she spoke softly, her tone seemingly having seen through life and death.
"I am very curious about your identity. When I first met you, you were clearly only a Peak Rank 7 Evil Corpse, but I did not expect that in just 2,000 years, you would reach your current Realm. Who was your identity in your previous life? And have you lived a second life?"
Seeing this, Qin Xiao no longer hid his curiosity and directly asked his questions. This was also the reason he could not stop thinking about White Zilan; he wanted to figure out her mysterious Formation and whether she had lived a second life.
If she had, then this secret would be absolutely shocking and of immeasurable value.
"Actually, I am also very curious about you. How did you do it? To be able to Cultivate to the Quasi-Emperor Realm in such a short time of two thousand years—even the legendary Heavenly Emperor probably did not Cultivate as fast as you."
"Could it be that you are the Reincarnation of some Great Emperor? And then started cultivating again? But that is not normal either. Since ancient times, I have never heard of a case of a Great Emperor's Reincarnation. Instead, there are some Martial Artists in the Quasi-Emperor Realm and Great Saint Realm who have reincarnated and recultivated!"
White Zilan also looked at Qin Xiao with great confusion. Compared to the secrets she held, the secrets hidden by him seemed even more important. Once leaked, the entire Universe would likely be in an uproar.
"Me? I am not the Reincarnation of a Great Emperor. The reason I have cultivated to this point and achieved my current success is entirely because I am a genius with unprecedented Aptitude, unmatched in the world. Added to that, I have had many Opportunities, the heavens have blessed me, and I have worked hard day and night, which is why I have reached this level."
Facing White Zilan's question, Qin Xiao did not answer directly but instead praised himself, emphasizing his talent and hard work.
White Zilan did not react much to Qin Xiao's self-praise; she just gave him a deep look. A ripple appeared in her eyes, and she seemed to be thinking about something.
"I am done speaking. Now it is your turn, Zilan, to answer my question."
After speaking, Qin Xiao looked at White Zilan with a smile, waiting for her response.
"My name is indeed White Zilan. As for my identity, I should be a Martial Artist from the Early Stage of the ancient era. In a battle, I encountered a strong enemy, my Divine Soul was shattered, and my body was beaten into a mess, causing me to die on the spot."
"As for whether this counts as living a second life, I am not very sure, because I did not inherit all the memories of my previous life, and my consciousness is also different."
White Zilan shook her head gently and said softly.
"Then this should at most be considered a semi-finished product!"
Qin Xiao muttered to himself in his heart. Without past memories, and with a different Soul and consciousness, is the person resurrected still the same person?
"What was your identity in your previous life? I always feel that your identity is extraordinary!"
"Me? I was the concubine of the twenty-third Emperor Lord of the Underworld during the ancient era."
White Zilan still did not hide it. After sighing, she spoke quietly.
"What?"
Upon hearing this news, Qin Xiao exclaimed. The concubine of the twenty-third Emperor Lord of the Underworld—this identity was indeed extraordinary.
One must know that the Underworld was a power of the same level as the Heavenly Court. The Emperor Lord of the Underworld was equivalent to the Emperor Lord of the Heavenly Court, and also equivalent to an Imperial Concubine. He never expected that she would have such an unusual identity.
If that was the case, everything made sense. With the ability of the Underworld, it was probably possible to resurrect a corpse.
This White Zilan could also be considered a type of alternative resurrection, although in essence, she was still an Evil Corpse.
But who has ever seen an Evil Corpse whose vitality is more vigorous than its Death Qi? This was definitely an anomaly; the vitality in her body was stronger than that of most people.
"What? Are you surprised?"
Seeing Qin Xiao's surprised expression, White Zilan smiled faintly. "But these are all things of the past. I do not know how many years have passed since the Early Stage of the ancient era. It is rumored that he has also fallen. These past events have long since become passing clouds."
