With a single, forceful movement, the man crushed the woman's neck.
Swish!
The screen disappeared, leaving only a group of people looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Well, Tai Bai, it's normal for such trivial matters to occur in the inner palace..." Fairy Chen Yu comforted him.
King Thai Bai's lips twitched: "Laugh if you want!"
Puff!
One of the powerful figures couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hahaha, I didn't expect this..."
Bang!
King Taibai flashed and instantly appeared next to the powerful figure.
With a powerful punch, the strongman's head was smashed directly into his chest cavity.
"You actually laughed!" King Thai Bai roared in fury!
The powerful man didn't retaliate; he simply waved his hand, a faint laugh emanating from his chest.
The powerful figures suppressed their laughter; the monarch of Anzhao Kingdom in the Southern Region actually had such a shameful past.
His biological mother had an affair with a palace maid, and then his biological father killed his biological mother.
This is a secret that would be difficult for anyone to talk about.
The fact that the child witnessed such a thing makes it no wonder that the Mind Monster considers it the most painful memory of the past.
Everyone wanted to laugh but was too embarrassed, so they each used their powerful self-control as Saint Realm experts to try their best to smooth their faces and not reveal anything.
Only Fairy Chenyu showed a look of horror: "She can really see fate!"
It's absolutely astonishing, absolutely terrifying!
What merit or ability does the Mind-Imitating Monster possess to reveal the past of a Saint Realm expert?
A small horse is no match for a big cart!
There's only one possibility: this foal has been fitted with something that only large horses have.
“You…” Fairy Chenyu looked at Su Yun, her heart filled with shock and disbelief.
This child's abilities have already exceeded his own expectations.
Who knows, a miracle might actually happen today!
King Taibai glared fiercely at Su Yun, but there was nothing he could do.
It's supposed to be about showing pain, and people are just showing you your vulnerabilities without even trying to deceive you.
I can only blame myself for having such a father and such a mother.
To witness the absurdity of adultery before one's mind has matured.
Even when they were still children and needed their mothers, they witnessed family members killing each other.
The matter is simple, but the lingering poison has been circulating for a long time.
He cleared his throat, trying to save face: "Well... we've known each other for a hundred years, there's nothing to hide."
"It is indeed my past. The late emperor suffered from madness, and my mother was indeed... too fond of pleasure."
"However, I still have some questions, and I hope you can answer them."
"This event had an impact on me when I was young, but afterwards I was busy with political affairs and fighting in various places, and I united the Southern Region into a whole."
"I don't think this is my most painful memory; it's just a past that's hard to talk about."
Fairy Chenyu was silent for a moment before speaking: "Actually, sometimes, a person's surface thoughts and deep thoughts are not consistent."
"The manifestations of inner demons are merely what we perceive; there are deeper layers..."
Snapped!
A cultivator clapped his hands, interrupting, "Stop rambling! It's just that Tai Bai is concerned about saving face!"
"He thought he was so great that he could connect the hundred kingdoms of the Southern Region into a whole."
"He portrayed himself as a hero, and his wife and daughters were willing to die rather than submit."
"Ha, you're nothing but a tyrant. Don't you see other countries, other people's wives and daughters, resisting Anzhao Kingdom to the very end?"
"You say nice things on the surface, but aren't you just venting your childhood demons for so-and-so?"
"Do you really think that just because the country is peaceful and prosperous, the fact that your father killed your mother can be erased?"
His words were sharp and incisive, hitting the nail on the head in just a few words.
King Taibai was silent for a moment, his eyes filled with anger, but he still cupped his hands and said, "King Moxing, you are right."
The powerful here have had allies as well as enemies.
This King Mo Xing was also the ruler of the Hundred Kingdoms of the Southern Region, whose kingdom was destroyed by King Tai Bai.
But past grudges become insignificant when faced with a questioning of one's own conscience.
Whoever becomes the emperor will have all past grudges and resentments decided according to their own preferences.
Fairy Chenyu knew these people very well and didn't care if they started fighting.
Everyone has varying levels of skill, but none of them are completely outmatched.
Moreover, before this journey of self-discovery, the situation is largely similar, and fighting is futile.
After being shocked that Su Yun could actually glimpse the fate of the Holy Realm, she asked, "Your past heartache has affected what happened later; perhaps that's where your inner demons lie."
"But if you were to embark on this path of self-examination again, how would you resolve it?"
Even an upright official finds it difficult to settle family disputes, and this matter involves the parents of King Taebaek.
One of them is insane, and the other is unfaithful.
Fairy Chenyu didn't know how to properly resolve this issue as a descendant.
The most painful thing is knowing that your inner demons are there, but being unable to deal with them.
King Taibai raised his head domineeringly almost without hesitation: "Solve it?"
"Just kill them, and the problem will be solved!"
These words carried no spiritual power, yet their kingly arrogance struck people's hearts like a heavy hammer.
Looking at this filial son, King Mo Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Tai Bai, no wonder I can't beat you."
"When it comes to decisiveness, you're the best!"
He was also the king of the Southern Region, but he was killed by the Taibai King of the same era and had to flee in panic.
It wasn't until a hundred years later that they met by chance on the path of seeking truth.
King Mo Xing was also frustrated many times, wondering why everyone's talents were similar and their strengths were not so different that one could absolutely crush the other.
But King Taybaek was able to crush his own army and country with overwhelming force.
Perhaps, what they relied on was this ruthlessness.
The young King Tay Bai may have relied on his mother and admired his father.
Old inner demons also quietly grow deep within the soul, affecting every aspect of life afterward.
But this overlord was able to immediately realize the situation and make a resolute decision!
These are the parents of this body. If they obstruct my path, I will kill them!
A king should naturally have the pride of a king.
Fairy Chenyu also admired her, saying, "You really are like a person from the Northern Region, not a Southerner."
"How do you feel now, with your thoughts clear and focused?"
King Thai Bai paused for a moment, then shook his head: "Not yet, but I'd like to give it a try."
Fairy Chenyu said, "There's no rush. You've already exhausted your energy. Rest for three years before we talk about it."
“It’s alright, I know what to do.” King Thai Bai’s eyes shone with eagerness and longing.
Fairy Chenyu asked with some reluctance, "Are you sure this is the last time?"
Whether it works out or not, this is probably the last time we'll meet.
King Taibai nodded and said nonchalantly, "That's right, the last time."
"If it succeeds, it succeeds; if it doesn't, it goes with the wind."
"How dare you whine like that, what kind of behavior is this!"
Fairy Chenyu laughed and scolded, "You weren't even born when I conquered the Southern Region."
King Taibai bowed and said, "Brothers, I'm going now!"
He turned around and looked at Su Yun.
His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but then he suddenly laughed and said, "Let's talk outside."
Whoosh!
With one step, King Taibai has already embarked on the path of self-reflection.
His resolute gaze was instantly veiled by countless layers of mystery.
It seems that in this short moment, I witnessed countless scenes and experienced countless lives.
The powerful figures watching this scene couldn't help but swallow hard.
King Taibai was the last expert to arrive and also the youngest.
However, he was decisive in his actions and highly skilled in cultivation, making him an absolute prodigy of his generation.
He unified the hundreds of kingdoms in the southern region, achieving a feat that no one had accomplished in ten thousand years.
They also waged war against the powerful Qian Kingdom in the Central Region, turning hundreds of millions of miles of land into scorched earth and causing countless deaths.
Yet even this prodigy, who shook the entire Tianyuan Realm, was stuck at the final step.
Unless you become an emperor, you will always remain one of the masses.
Even if you are the Great Sage, after a hundred or a thousand years, there will be a new Great Sage.
Even if a saint is immortal, if an enemy gathers several powerful individuals, he can be sealed and suppressed, eventually turning into a magical artifact.
The powerful individuals present were all at the pinnacle of human strength.
They all spent their last bit of time on that final step.
Ancestor Cangmu was defeated, still stuck at the nineteenth step, leaving all the powerful figures disappointed.
But with the arrival of this new child, King Taibai finds his inner demons.
Hope was rekindled in the hearts of the powerful, and they couldn't help but look towards the Path of Inquiry.
This may be their last hope.
Whether it succeeds or not depends on the Thai King!
Boom!
King Taibai stepped forward, his voice like thunder.
"The second step!" The powerful figures, who had been concentrating intently, couldn't help but exclaim.
If they weren't all powerful figures in high positions, they would probably cheer at this step.
Swish!
Ancestor Cangmu suddenly opened his eyes, his voice still a little hoarse: "What second step?"
A sage replied, "Tai Bai has begun his journey of self-examination again."
Ancestor Cangmu looked at King Taibai and raised an eyebrow: "Is he crazy? He just left, and he's coming back?"
The lives of the strong are monotonous; watching others walk their own paths is their greatest pastime.
There is no danger or harm on this road.
However, in order to go as far as possible, the strong will use all sorts of methods to temper their bodies and souls as much as possible.
Ancestor Cangmu determined whether the complex injuries matched reality by destroying his own body and through terrifying calculations.
Every step they took on the path of self-discovery felt like decades or even centuries had passed.
If the body stays in the same place for even a second longer, it will suffer massive damage.
Under such circumstances, each time one embarks on the path of self-reflection, a long period of recuperation and rest is required.
Generally speaking, strong individuals only embark on the Path of Self-Examination once every six months to a year.
Having gained some insights, I want to challenge my limits.
It would take three to five years to come once in a while.
Fairy Chenyu shushed her: "Don't speak, just look!"
Now is a crucial moment, and the path of self-reflection has remained unchanged for many, many years.
Every strong person is cultivating themselves. Even when they occasionally exchange ideas, they find it difficult to resonate with each other because of differences in their cultivation methods and zodiac signs.
Now that a major variable has emerged, people are very excited about whether the Thai White King will succeed!
Ancestor Cangmu scoffed, "Him? Ha, I'd be impressed if he could even take fifteen steps!"
After arriving at the Path of Inquiry, King Taibai made rapid progress.
It started with ten steps, then progressed to eleven, twelve, thirteen...
But the last time he broke through to the fourteenth step, he had been stuck for a hundred years.
People have different talents, and in terms of temperament, this foul-mouthed old Taoist priest does indeed have some outstanding qualities.
Fairy Chenyu shushed her again: "Don't speak. This young friend helped Taibai. Now let's see the effect!"
Ancestor Cangmu opened his mouth wide, and after a long while, he laughed mockingly: "You're joking, you really know how to joke!"
"Him? Him? What help could he possibly be!"
Boom!Boom!Boom!
Just then, King Thai Bai suddenly took several steps forward.
Ancestor Cangmu's heart clenched suddenly, a sense of foreboding washing over him: "Could it be true..."
Boom!
King Taibai suddenly stopped and landed on the twelfth step!
He took another step, but it seemed as if a thousand layers of gauze had been veiled before his eyes, and endless scenes flashed by in an instant.
