Li Yunmu naturally replied positively regarding Yunfeng’s question. Ever since he had learned about Ancient God Lakshmi’s part of soul from Chen Xiu, he had been scheming to find her. Only after he found the ancient goddess, the two of them could join hands and deal with Asura and the other five ancient gods.
But after Ancient God Lakshmi awakened from the jade pipa, she acted rudely, and Li Yunmu could only seal her inside Liu Bailing’s shadow.
The four holy daughters followed behind Li Yunmu with Liu Bailing, who had recovered her reason, between them. When the girl snapped back to reality, she looked at the holy daughters by her side and then said in astonishment, “Elder sisters, how come you are suddenly at my side? I didn’t notice anything!”
After speaking, Liu Bailing looked at the shadow under her feet, which was still squirming and making her feel somewhat weird and uncomfortable. After all, it was Ancient God Lakshmi whom all the holy daughters served, so every step of hers which landed on the shadow was a big disrespect toward the ancient goddess.
Liu Bailing extended her left leg and stepped on the shadow, then tried to move her right leg in another direction, but still ended up stepping on the shadow.
After seeing this, Liu Bailing helplessly looked at the struggling shadow with guilt covering her whole face. She quickly recovered her calm expression, however, and stepped on the shadow while inwardly praying to the name of Ancient God Lakshmi.
“Yiii, Younger Sister Bailing, your shadow is somewhat strange. It surprisingly changed form under the sunlight! How did this happen? Quickly tell elder sister,” a holy daughter holding a jade flute in her hand said.
“Ah!” Liu Bailing cried out in fear, then quickly recovered her cal. “Nothing, my shadow just suddenly became like this. I also don’t clearly understand what happened,” Liu Bailing lied and entered the wooden room while stepping on her shadow with each step.
The group of holy daughters sat down next to each other, and Li Yunmu looked at Liu Bailing sitting in the middle. He extended his hand and pulled out a metasphere from the shadow beneath her and held it between his fingers.
The same moment, a crisp voice similar to that of a yellow oriole echoed in the room. “You finally released me! Youngster, do you know what you’re doing? The remaining soul part of this ancient goddess might end up extinguished if you don’t. It would be better if you placed me in the jade pipa... Yii, where did so many people come from?”
Before her words could fade away, Ancient God Lakshmi turned silent. The metasphere also stopped moving, safely settling down between Li Yunmu’s fingers.
As an ancient goddess who had existed for countless years, Lakshmi had always been a graceful and composed figure in the memories of the holy daughters. However, Ancient God Lakshmi had not expected that just as she was pulled out of the shadow, four holy daughters would suddenly appear in front of her, so she spoke freely, completely destroying her image.
The four oldest holy daughters looked at the metasphere held between Li Yunmu’s fingers with wide eyes filled with incredulity. Liu Bailing, who had stepped upon Ancient God Lakshmi, on the other hand, did not utter a sound. She felt somewhat awkward and lowered her head. Her fair cheeks turned red, and she kept repeating in her heart that it was not her fault.
After a period of silence, the four heavenly daughters respectfully knelt with their foreheads touching the ground and said, “Greetings, Ancient God Lakshmi.”
The metasphere shuddered a little, then calmly replied, “En, all holy daughters rise.”
Yunfeng frowned, then looked at the metasphere and suspiciously asked, “Ancient God Lakshmi, is it true that only this part of your soul remains?”
The other holy daughters looked at the metasphere one by one, waiting for her reply.
Ancient God Lakshmi was silent for a moment before asking, “Asura invaded the territory of my Lakshmi City?”
“Yes, mortals were massacred by the forces of Asura City. This time, Holy Daughter Bailing luckily released her projection, which brought us all here. Otherwise, we would have remained in the dark. Ancient God Lakshmi, if only this part of your soul remains, then the situation is extremely dangerous. You should take a look at the holy daughters of the twelve music clans and select the one whose body you want to possess,” Yunfeng said respectfully with a hint of warmth in her eyes.
Apparently, as long as any method could help in the calamity of ancient gods, even if it meant sacrificing oneself, they would not be the least bit dissatisfied.
Li Yunmu watched as the other three holy daughters as well as Liu Bailing nodded their heads with warmth in their eyes. Seeing this situation, he felt his head ache. The reverence toward the gods in Lanlou region was extremely terrifying. The mortals were actually even ready to sacrifice themselves. As long as they could assist the ancient gods, they were willing to do anything.
In the eyes of people on Earth, they would be no different from madmen.
Ancient God Lakshmi coughed a few times before slowly saying, “Even if I possessed your bodies, I would still remain in god realm, so how could I fight against Asura? Only after regaining the missing part of my soul and body will I become the true Ancient God Lakshmi, so you all don’t need to trouble yourselves.
“The lifetime of this remaining part of my soul is very short so I will enter Liu Bailing’s shadow. Now, I want you all to hear and obey Li Yunmu’s every order.”
After saying that, the metasphere struggled free from Li Yunmu’s fingers and flew into Liu Bailing’s shadow.
Li Yunmu hadn’t expected that Ancient God Lakshmi would surprisingly return to Liu Bailing’s shadow of her own initiative. Just a moment ago when she came out, she was so insistent on returning to the jade pipa, but in the end, she entered the shadow of her own accord.
He could not understand what exactly had happened, but it was pretty good. If the ancient goddess returned to the jade pipa, it would be tantamount to her saying that she still wanted to possess Liu Bailing’s body.
Her obediently returning to the shadow meant that she had already given up the notion of possessing the girl.
The four holy daughters looked at each other, then Yunfeng shifted her gaze to Li Yunmu and respectfully said, “Ancient God Yunmu, what are your instructions?”
“Before that, I want to ask you what’s the strength of the twelve music clans? How many gods do you have?” Li Yunmu slowly said.
“In Lanlou, it’s the lowest. The gods of the twelve music clans are only the holy daughters, excluding Sister Liu Bailing. Pipa Clan has no qualified successor, which was the reason why younger sister Liu Bailing was chosen as the holy daughter.
“Under the gods, each clan has three elders, the cultivation of whom is at great circle of sage flux expert realm. In other words, they are half gods. Below them is a group of younger disciples with their strength ranging between initial stage flux expert to sage flux expert level,” Yunfeng explained earnestly.
Li Yunmu nodded, understanding that Yunfeng’s words did not include Pipa Clan. In the great battle, Pipa Clan was almost wiped out. It lost all of its strength when both its god and half gods died.
“En, your strength indeed is the lowest,” Li Yunmu said with his brow creased.
The strength of the other six ancient gods was extremely formidable. It was especially so due to the use of power of belief. Almost all of their clan elders as well as direct descendents were gods while they also had countless great circle sage flux experts as well as sage flux experts.
Yunfeng noticed the disdain in Li Yunmu’s tone and quickly reminded him, “Although we of Lakshmi City don’t use the power of belief directly, we can do it through our music instruments. The music instruments of almost everyone here contains power of belief which can increase our strength for a short time.”
