Chu Yun led Ye Ling through the parasites, moving swiftly.
It was strange, though. Ye Ling wasn't attacked by any of the parasites along the way. Even when the Bai Di Yan surrounding Ye Ling ignited the nearby parasites, they remained still, like soulless husks, completely unresponsive.
Chu Yun, flying ahead, said to Ye Ling, "The Queen Mother controls the parasites by emitting special energy signals, and I can block the Queen Mother's signals. As long as you stay close to me, the parasites won't detect you. You can trust me; you don't need to protect yourself with flames."
"Alright."
Hearing Chu Yun's words, Ye Ling didn't hesitate. He withdrew the Bai Di Yan around him and followed closely behind Chu Yun.
After flying through the sea of insects for a while, Ye Ling noticed that the surrounding parasites were becoming stronger, even giving him a sense of pressure. He couldn't help but ask Chu Yun, "Where are we going?" Da Feng Novel Network
Chu Yun explained, "To the Queen Mother's chamber, which is the core of the entire nest and stores the Queen Mother's most important memories. As long as we can obtain the Queen Mother's memories, we can successfully resolve the Queen Mother."
"Just memories can resolve the Queen Mother?" Ye Ling was taken aback. "Can that really work?"
Chu Yun replied, "Those are not ordinary memories… Simply put, the Queen Mother exists differently from us. It's more like a consciousness, and its memories are equivalent to its soul."
"If the Queen Mother loses its memories, it's like us losing our souls. It's fatal."
Ye Ling asked, "How do you know these secrets?"
Chu Yun said, "I've merged with the nest and obtained a portion of the Queen Mother's memories."
Ye Ling curiously asked again, "Then hasn't the Queen Mother ever thought of eliminating you? You should be a thorn in its side, right?"
In Ye Ling's opinion, if he were the Queen Mother, he would have killed Chu Yun the first moment he could.
Chu Yun replied, "The Queen Mother wanted to kill me from the beginning, but I dodged all those calamities. Now, I've found a way to block the Queen Mother's perception, so it can't find me. Over time, it shifted from pursuing me to continuously strengthening the defenses of its chamber, choosing to coexist with me."
"Although I can survive in the nest, I don't have the ability to breach the Queen Mother's chamber and inflict damage on it…"
"In a sense, I'm more like a parasite within the nest."
Ye Ling said, "Don't worry. As long as we join forces, breaching the Queen Mother's chamber will be a piece of cake. Once we kill the Queen Mother, you'll be free."
"I hope so." Chu Yun sighed, seemingly not holding much hope for their victory over the Queen Mother.
Chu Yun had been in the nest for millions of years, constantly outwitting and battling the Queen Mother. No one understood the Queen Mother's power better than she did.
In the past, other powerful beings had mistakenly entered the nest. Apart from those who heeded her advice and left promptly, all others had perished within the nest.
Among those powerful beings were even Dominator-level experts. Chu Yun didn't believe Ye Ling was any different from other Dominators.
"The Queen Mother's chamber is just ahead. You should be able to sense it." After flying through the nest for some time, Chu Yun suddenly stopped and turned to Ye Ling.
Hearing Chu Yun's words, Ye Ling immediately extended his divine sense forward. He indeed sensed an indestructible barrier. He nodded at Chu Yun, "Yes, I can sense a barrier blocking our path."
Chu Yun explained, "That's the barrier the Queen Mother uses to stop me… Although the Queen Mother can't locate us right now, it will sense us the moment we attack the chamber."
"So, I'll mark a few points where the barrier is weakest. Then, we'll attack together and try to finish it quickly."
"There's no need for such trouble. I have another way."
Ye Ling waved his hand, rejecting Chu Yun's suggestion. Instead, he flew to the Queen Mother's barrier and placed his hand on it.
"What are you doing?" Chu Yun was slightly startled by Ye Ling's action and immediately asked in a low voice.
Ye Ling smiled and said, "Although this skill hasn't been used in a long time, it can be very useful at critical moments…"
"Myriad Worlds Insight!"
Ye Ling activated his Myriad Worlds Insight domain. The spot where his palm rested rippled like water, and then Ye Ling's arm passed through the Queen Mother's barrier without any obstruction.
"This is!!!"
Seeing Ye Ling's arm pass through the Queen Mother's barrier, Chu Yun's pupils dilated, and a storm of shock surged within her!
How was this possible!
At this moment, Ye Ling's entire body slipped into the Queen Mother's barrier. He then poked half his body out and beckoned to Chu Yun, "Come quickly! We need to infiltrate the Queen Mother's chamber without being discovered!"
Seeing Ye Ling's ability to freely traverse the Queen Mother's barrier, Chu Yun pursed her lips.
If she hadn't personally witnessed Ye Ling being dragged into the nest by the Queen Mother's shadow, and then seeing what Ye Ling had just done, she might have mistaken Ye Ling for the Queen Mother herself!
However, despite her shock, Chu Yun had no intention of giving up this rare opportunity. She immediately flew towards Ye Ling, entering the Queen Mother's chamber with him.
Inside the Queen Mother's barrier was a massive, cocoon-like oval object. Within that object were numerous holes, much like a beehive.
Ye Ling scanned the structure of the chamber and asked Chu Yun, "Where are the Queen Mother's memories stored?"
Chu Yun was still immersed in her shock from having actually passed through the Queen Mother's barrier. After Ye Ling asked a few times, she finally came back to her senses and replied, "Do you see those holes that look like a beehive? Each hole represents a segment of the Queen Mother's memory… This entire chamber has stored countless memories of the Queen Mother."
Ye Ling asked, "So, if we just burn all the memories here, we can solve the Queen Mother problem once and for all?"
Chu Yun nodded. "In theory, yes. However, I don't recommend doing that. The Queen Mother's memories have varying degrees of importance. If we just start a fire like this, it will at most cause some superficial damage to the Queen Mother before it's extinguished by the alerted Queen Mother."
"Since we've already infiltrated the chamber, we should leverage the advantage of infiltration and look for the Queen Mother's precious memories, shouldn't we?"
Ye Ling replied, "Then how do I distinguish the importance of the Queen Mother's memories? Do I have to read all of them?"
"The number of memory cells in this chamber is as vast as the stars. It's unlikely for Ye Ling to read all of the Queen Mother's memories."
Chu Yun explained, "You don't need to read all of them. Just use your soul power to sense the memories. The more precious the Queen Mother's memories are, the stronger the energy they emit. It's easy to distinguish."
Ye Ling nodded slightly. "Alright… To improve efficiency, let's split up. I'll search from the west, and you start from the east."
Chu Yun replied, "That's exactly what I was thinking!"
