Chapter 305: Fear and Expectations

Bai Rouyun looked at the beautifully carved ice coffin on top of the equally exquisite ice podium that was situated in front of them.

While the part of the Primal Chaos Dimension they had reached was seemingly inside a cave with no light sources from outside, the ice itself had covered the cave walls, and contained countless miniature specs of light that lit up the surroundings like numerous shining stars.

The light was not as strong as sunlight, but not as weak as the night sky either. It was a soft and gentle light that brought a bit of warmth into this cold world that was created with the only purpose of protecting the soul fragment in mind.

"Master, I have brought Bai Rouyun here. Do you remember how I told you about her before? She is the one who made me call her mother, and she is the one I said resembled you in many ways."

Xiao Bao was not in a hurry to walk forward. He stood still as he looked at the coffin with a mixture of reverence and sadness inside his eyes. However, a slight gleam of hope and expectation seemed to flash past from time to time.

Soon, the small spirit raised his head and looked at Bai Rouyun. He took a deep breath, and his tensed muscles slowly began to loosen as he took her hand in his and slowly stepped towards the ice coffin in the center.

"The soul fragment that entered your body just now made the fragment within this ice coffin tremble in resonation. It is clear that there is some sort of connection between these two soul fragments, but since the one from outside already entered your body, it is clearly a part of your soul.

"I told you before that your soul is incomplete. The soul from your past life and the one in this life are both the real you. You have not taken over the body of another person but merely regained the part of your soul that lived within this body and merged the two pieces together.

"Although you already found two pieces of your soul and merged them together, it does not necessarily mean that your soul is complete. Depending on the degree of damage the soul has experienced, it can split into more than ten pieces without dissipating if the cultivator is strong enough.

"While the Ice Phoenix Bai Rouyun of your past life was indeed considered an outstanding cultivator, that was limited to your old world. You had not even reached the Ascended Realm, but your foundations were already weakened and not able to take you much further.

"When the soul fragment of the previous life merged with the unfortunate daughter of the general's estate, your soul became much more tangible, and thus your cultivation speed increased, but as you can feel, your foundations and talent also improved drastically.

"Even so, your soul is still not completely restored to how it was before. I do not know how many soul fragments your complete soul split into, but the one you encountered in the Sleeping Meadow is clearly a part of your soul as well.

"Although you might not be able to sense the difference in your soul, I can feel it right away. Your mental strength has grown to a level where it is more than one thousand times stronger than before, and even the second layer of the Primal Chaos Pagoda has opened up for you to use.

"However, what shocked me the most was how this fragment of my creator shook upon your merge with the third piece."

Xiao Bao took a deep breath and tried to soothe his agitated emotions.

"Although I have no proof to base my guess on, I have an intuition and a hope that, perhaps, the fragment lying within this coffin actually belongs to your soul as well.

"Although the Primal Chaos Pagoda has contracted many masters throughout the years after its creation, only one has been so important that both the treasure and I, as the spirit, were willing to dissipate our energy to maintain her life.

"This unexplainable sense of familiarity can be found in your soul, and I always accepted your unreasonable requests without objection because of it. If you are truly the reincarnation of my creator, then it is not unexpected that I approve of any decision you make subconsciously."

The more Xiao Bao explained, the darker Bai Rouyun's expression turned.

At first, it sounded as if this little spirit was truly longing for being reunited with his creator, but after hearing his true feelings, it was more likely that he wanted to find an excuse as to why he was unable to say no to Bai Rouyun.

Indeed, her son was not cute at all!

However, while Bai Rouyun was complaining in her mind, she knew that this was Xiao Bao's way of hiding his true heart. It was clear that he was truly placing a great amount of hope in this matter, but he dared not mention how much he missed his creator.

If, in case he had been mistaken, and this was not a soul fragment belonging to Bai Rouyun, how much disappointment would he have to face then?

He was always seemingly arrogant when troubling others, but his heart was fragile and lonely. Unlike Xiao Jin who could maintain her innocence, Xiao Bao had spent many thousands of years traveling the world alongside various masters.

He had seen the rise and fall of these geniuses, but he had also seen the dirty and black side of humanity. The greed to kill for wealth as well as the lack of morals and ethics.

To him, one of the only pure beings that still existed was his creator, and now that there might be a chance for her to return, he was both eager, but also fearful. Could he handle the mental blow he would suffer if his guess was wrong?
