Yu Jin's expression abruptly became dazed.
She no longer had the heart to continue observing Li Shuang's abilities.
Her voice trembled slightly: "You... you've mastered the second stage of the Samsara incantation?"
One must know.
Only eleven people, including Li Shuang, had purchased the second stage of the Samsara incantation.
Purchasing it didn't mean they had necessarily mastered it.
Before today.
Only three people had entered the initial stage.
One of them was progressing the fastest, almost reaching completion.
The other two had only just started.
But Li Shuang?
How long had she had the Samsara incantation, and now she was saying she had already cultivated the second stage?
Li Shuang said earnestly: "Didn't the City Lord plan this? The trial of the Heavenly Dao allowed me to die and resurrect repeatedly. At first, I didn't understand, but then I suddenly realized the meaning of this trial and peered into the Underworld River again and again between life and death! Finally, I succeeded!"
She successfully visualized the Underworld River.
Successfully established a connection with the Underworld River.
This indicated.
She had officially entered the "ferrying" stage.
Of course.
At this stage, her divine soul couldn't truly enter the Underworld River, let alone bring the soul of the City Lord's sister back to the human world.
But she could already visualize the Underworld River, and perhaps one day, when visualizing, she might see the City Lord's sister.
This way, when she reached the third stage, it would be easier to find her.
Yu Jin was silent for a long time.
She wanted to say something.
But in the end, she just showed a profound smile: "Li Shuang, I didn't expect that you could complete all my trials. Good, good, you did very well!"
Li Shuang also let out a sigh of relief.
A peerless powerhouse like the City Lord was primarily unfathomable.
Even if they gave trials, they wouldn't state them clearly.
Fortunately, she had perfectly completed the trials and lived up to the City Lord's expectations.
Yu Jin controlled her emotions, then calmly said: "Now, visualize the Underworld River for me to see."
Li Shuang responded.
She sat down cross-legged on the spot.
As the Samsara incantation circulated, the Underworld River she had once seen slowly appeared above her head.
Li Shuang had just started.
Her divine soul couldn't go too deep yet.
She only visualized for a quarter of an hour, and layers of fine sweat appeared on her forehead.
Yu Jin looked at the Underworld River above Li Shuang's head with a complicated expression.
Although she had just started.
The Underworld River Li Shuang visualized... seemed to be clearer than that of the others.
Was this...
A true genius!
She, too, had once been a peerless genius who made many people despair at the sight of her.
But at this moment.
Looking at Li Shuang, she felt a sense of emotion.
Looking at Li Shuang's focused profile, she even felt a little lost.
She suddenly remembered her younger sister: Yu Mo.
She and Yu Mo were twin sisters.
At that time.
Someone once asserted that her sister had astonishing luck and was someone who could save the world in the future.
That person also said.
That she herself was naturally a demon, destined to destroy this world.
Her parents believed this person's prophecy, imprisoned her in a water cell, and then poured all the clan's resources into training her sister.
They were twins, yet they had vastly different fates.
At that time, she.
Resentment!
Jealousy!
Her entire being was almost corroded into a demon by negative emotions.
She even started to believe that person's prophecy, whether she was indeed born a demon!
However.
One day.
Her sister appeared before her.
She was covered in wounds, but she brought light.
She smiled and said: "Sister! I succeeded! I defeated everyone Father arranged, and Father promised to let you out!"
Her smile was pure, and the demon in her heart was gradually suppressed.
Yu Mo indeed took her out.
But her parents always wanted to lock her back up.
They repeatedly made increasingly outrageous demands of Yu Mo, and to save her, Yu Mo tried harder and harder each time.
Genius coupled with diligence.
She quickly became the most brilliant star.
Although she also had a Supreme Spirit Root.
Yu Mo's cultivation progressed rapidly, but her speed was always very slow.
Because.
Yu Jin simply didn't want to cultivate.
As soon as she cultivated, except for Yu Mo, everyone else would look at her with wary eyes, as if once her strength increased, she would destroy the world.
The demon in her heart grew again and again, but it disappeared again and again in Yu Mo's smile.
She told herself.
It didn't matter if no one in the world believed her.
As long as her sister still believed her, she would forever suppress the demon in her heart.
Later.
Yu Mo's cultivation progressed faster and faster. She crossed her tribulation at five hundred years old, and by the age of a thousand, she had already become a quasi-Supreme!
Everyone believed.
As long as she continued to grow, she would eventually become the next Supreme.
Everyone was waiting for that day!
She was also looking forward to it.
Her sister deserved all the best. As long as she could stand at the peak, it didn't matter if she fell into the abyss.
However.
The change that everyone knew about happened.
Yu Mo was ambushed and killed by the Land of Heavenly Annihilation.
Through the twins' telepathy, she was the first to discover the location where Yu Mo was ambushed. She wanted to bring the human race's powerhouses to rescue her.
But her parents said she was a demon, that her words couldn't be believed, and that she wanted to harm Yu Mo.
She begged many, many times, and finally, only a few human powerhouses were reluctantly willing to go with her.
But by then.
It was already too late.
Yu Mo was already in a state of exhaustion.
"Sister." In a desolate place, Yu Mo smiled at her.
Then.
Before she died, she gave everything she had to her.
Her Supreme Spirit Root, her divine soul, she gave them all to her twin sister through a secret technique.
Yu Mo seemed to have cultivated this technique for a very long time; otherwise, she wouldn't have used it so skillfully at the end.
She only left a trace of her true spirit and went to the Underworld River.
And Yu Jin, in the human world, became a clear-headed madwoman from then on.
Her parents had turned to dust many years ago.
The people who had heard that prophecy were now few and far between.
But.
Regardless of whether anyone who had heard the prophecy was still alive, she was now the strongest human, the City Lord of Myriad Laws City, and no one dared to mention that ridiculous thing in front of her again.
Yu Jin never thought of herself as a good person.
However.
Because of her sister, she could forever be a protector.
Therefore, she was so persistent about the Samsara incantation.
This cultivation method might be her only chance to see her sister.
She came back to her senses, then waved her hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes, still the eternally calm City Lord.
"That's enough." Yu Jin waved her hand, and the Underworld River above Li Shuang's head disappeared. Li Shuang couldn't help but open her eyes.
Yu Jin's voice unconsciously softened: "The Underworld River is extremely yin. You've just started to visualize it, so don't push yourself. You need to proceed gradually."
Li Shuang nodded obediently.
