Chapter 460: Heart-Piercing Words

This trip to the Forgetful Sea, I knew the Dark Origin had laid a trap.

But that’s just how Lu Ye is—even if he knows it's a trap, he still has to come and take a look.

Because his enemy is sitting there, showing off—that’s worse than killing Lu Ye!

This time, he handed the Dark Origin a brutal beating.

One punch, one sword strike—it should have left the Dark Origin completely dazed, causing a one, maybe even two percent loss.

It doesn’t sound like much, but the Dark Origin needs a great deal of energy to shield those hiding inside it.

If the Dark Origin loses too much energy, the entities inside it would have no choice but to show themselves, and the big shots wouldn’t stand for that.

Those who rely on the Dark Origin also keep it in check too.

As for the Saintess of the Forgetful Immortal Palace, Lu Ye didn’t remember her at all.

Still, he agreed to meet.

What showed up was a portrait, and the woman in it—well, by Lu Ye’s standards, she was undoubtedly drop-dead gorgeous.

Yet Lu Ye felt not the slightest interest.

Women? Terrifying!

"Ah, so you’ve ascended, Fellow Daoist. Lu Ye greets you," Lu Ye said calmly.

This method was essentially how upper-realm folks talked to lower-realm ones. Even in the First Heaven, such methods existed, and by the Sixth Heaven, they were even more common.

Some even used them for long-distance realm-hopping chats.

Leveraging their Seventh Heaven clout to flirt with a Sixth Heaven fairy.

Some were indeed deceived—those Sixth Heaven fairies would be cooing "husband" at them and even engage in all sorts of long-range flirting, dreaming that ascending to the Seventh Heaven would mean clinging to a powerful figure. In reality, such gullible types had no chance of ever reaching the Seventh Heaven.

Others fantasized that though they were ordinary in the Sixth Heaven, some Seventh Heaven big shot was head over heels for them, even willing to defeat the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens and descend to bring them up.

One could only say that toxic fantasies are one hell of a drug!

"Husband, do you still remember me?" Yin Qingcheng's voice quivered with excitement she couldn’t hide.

It had been so long since she’d seen her husband look at her so calmly—wasn’t this progress?

Lu Ye???

His mind raced.

Lu Ye instantly realized who she was.

Yin Qingcheng!

His ex-wife, the one he’d made a point to forget. Though he didn’t know what had happened between them, since he had forgotten, it meant there was no possibility between them.

"So it’s Fellow Daoist Yin. Please don’t address me so casually—I am Lu Ye, and in this life, I have no Dao companion!" Lu Ye said sternly.

In truth, an involuntary sense of fondness for Yin Qingcheng arose in Lu Ye’s heart, but that faint feeling was instantly crushed by his Dao heart and swiftly eradicated.

"But husband, I was your Dao companion in your past life—the one who loved you most!" Yin Qingcheng blurted out.

Lu Ye, however, shook his head lightly.

"Friend, I had seven women in my past life, but you were not among them. Perhaps you’ve suffered a cultivation mishap or developed some mental disorder? I can refine some pills for you—they won't cost much—that might help," Lu Ye said, even wearing a faint smile.

He truly felt no emotions toward Yin Qingcheng. Speaking to her was just like talking to any other cultivator.

"Seven women?" Yin Qingcheng froze.

The moment those words left his lips, her scalp prickled, and her heart pounded so violently it felt like it might jump out of her chest.

But didn't Lu Ye lose his memories?

How did he still remember having seven women in his past life?

Were his memories fragmented, leaving him with only scattered recollections?

"Husband, you said you had seven women in your past life. Do you remember who they were?" Yin Qingcheng’s voice shook with panic.

Lu Ye frowned. "Friend, isn't that my private matter? It has nothing to do with you. Your questioning is too personal."

Even as he spoke with Yin Qingcheng, his thoughts were elsewhere. This crisis concerning his memories was linked to the Heartless Sage.

The Heartless Sage’s power had been manipulated by the Forgetful Immortal Palace.

Adding it all up, it was clear—the Forgetful Immortal Palace wanted him dead.

Lu Ye’s eyes glinted faintly.

He… was very poor.

And the Forgetful Immortal Palace? Rolling in money!

"Husband, I was your Dao companion, your wife! And your favorite! How can this be just a private matter?"

Lu Ye felt nothing but cold indifference.

Right—a wife who actively made him forget her must have truly loved him!

But this was deliberate.

If she wanted him to forget everyone except her, then he would remember everyone—and forget only her!

"Then let me tell you who those seven ex-wives of mine were."

"Bai Qiulan, Yue Hongling, Chu Ling!"

These three were the first he'd known.

Yin Qingcheng was just an image, so her expression couldn’t be seen. But in the Seventh Heaven, her face went deathly pale in an instant!

As Lu Ye listed name after name, each one darkening Yin Qingcheng's expression.

All seven names were spoken clearly and accurately.

Yin Qingcheng felt like she'd been thrown into icy darkness.

He… remembered every single one.

"So… so…" Right then, she couldn't even form words.

Lu Ye cut in on Yin Qingcheng's words, "So, I only forgot you!"

This sentence hit like a thunderbolt, crashing mercilessly upon Yin Qingcheng's heart.

The portrait ignited without fire.

Yin Qingcheng had completely snapped!

Her Great Dao wailed in anguish at this moment.

Her entire aura fluctuated violently, the energy within her surging like a tsunami.

The Great Dao was collapsing.

At this moment, Yin Qingcheng was facing the same crisis as Yue Hongling's—her Great Dao was crumbling to pieces.

She had entered the Dao path through Lu Ye, making him her ultimate passion. Only by obtaining him and, when their love burned brightest, transforming the Dao of Ultimate Love into the Dao of Forgetfulness would she truly achieve her Dao—just like the Heartless Sage, ascending beyond all limits from then on.

Because from that moment onward, her Dao would be perfectly complete.

She would attain the ultimate love, only to discard it—this was her path to perfection.

But now, with Lu Ye having utterly forgotten her, she could never obtain that ultimate love again. Her Dao would forever remain incomplete.

"Ding! Host's current attack power is terrifyingly strong!"

Even the system couldn't help but blurt out in mechanical amazement to Little Providence.

Truth be told, Lu Ye had picked up these tricks from the system.

Strike the snake at its vital spot, destroy both body and soul—that was the most devastating way to deal damage!

Lu Ye glanced at the members of the Forgetful Immortal Palace. Well, his Primordial Power was currently insufficient to take on the Forgetful Immortal Palace. He'd bide his time until his power returned before launching his assault!
