Chapter 1096: Chapter 1096: Secrets

"The True Sky Seal of my junior sister is the most pure among the four of us, untainted by any additional form of the power of the Heavenly Dao. If junior sister were still alive, once her True Sky Seal is activated, she would be able to become a Saint and achieve the most supreme existence!"

You paused for a moment, and then said: "What worries me now is who would dare to risk complete annihilation of body and spirit to forcibly extract these two powers, as this is tantamount to seeking death!"

"Can that person be found?" Xiao Feng asked anxiously.

Shaking your head with a light sigh, you said: "No."

"So what do we do now?"

"There’s nothing else to do at the moment but to quietly observe and be ready to face a powerful enemy at any time. That person was able to forcefully extract energy from the trunk, which means they were already strong to begin with. Such an individual is definitely not one of those old monsters who live in seclusion in the mountains or the Spiritual World, because although those old monsters pursue the path of eternal life throughout their lives, they don’t have the guts to do something so rash—it must be a young person, and moreover, a Madman who has been pushed to the edge of a cliff, with no way out and nothing left to lose!"

"If that’s the case, the search range has become much smaller. I will contact Xi Yu immediately and have the people from Luanfeng Pavilion help to search."

"No, don’t startle the snake in the grass just yet." You deterred, "We still don’t know the person’s objective—whether they are friend or foe. Just as I said, let’s quietly observe. And also, there is another matter I need to confirm right now."

"What is it?"

"Let’s talk while walking!"

Soon, you had returned to Qingfeng Village.

"Why have we returned here?"

"To see someone."

"Someone?"

"No, I should say, a ghost."

"A ghost?"

"Yes, let’s go."

With that, you quickened your pace towards the grave of Little Qinniang’s mother, taking Xiao Feng with you.

Little Qinniang has now fully become your close kin; your parents even treat her as their own daughter, showering her with utmost care. At times, you could even feel slightly jealous.

However, your love for your sister is no less than that of your parents.

Standing in front of the grave of Little Qinniang’s mother, you said with a serene smile: "Auntie, I’ve come to see you."

There was no response, and you continued to speak to yourself: "Little Yan is doing very well now. She has loving parents, brother, and sister-in-law, as well as good friends, classmates, and teachers. You can rest in peace in the netherworld."

Xiao Feng stood beside you, his face tinged with poignant emotion.

Although he had never been to Qingfeng Village, he was well informed about Little Qinniang’s past.

Hearing what you said, Xiao Feng also softly agreed: "Little Yan indeed is our precious Little Princess. There are so many who hold her dear."

As you were speaking, a Red Cinnabar Talisman flew out of your pocket, slowly circling around the headstone of Little Qinniang’s mother’s grave.

You murmured as if talking to yourself: "I recall someone in Qingfeng Village mentioning that when Auntie was pregnant with Little Yan, she had no man by her side and was totally unaware of her own conception; seemingly befuddled, she fell pregnant. Afterward, amidst the suspicions of others, she gave birth to Little Yan. Now that I think about it, Little Yan’s birth is just like those exceptional figures in mythological stories, not born of human union but rather a product of the divine joining with mortal."

Suddenly, the Cinnabar Talisman froze and began to radiate a strong red light.

You continued: "Yun Chu told me that my junior sister left the Ten Directions Heaven Beyond the Sky sixteen years ago. For more than three thousand years, she has been protected by master using the power of the True Sky Seal, her spirit thread-like, with only a fraction of her residual soul remaining. With master’s ability unable to revive my junior sister, it was less likely for Yu and me."

Although you spoke to yourself, Xiao Feng listened intently and then asked, "What about Liu Dao?"

"Liu Dao is master’s last disciple. According to Yun Chu, among the many disciples, Liu Dao was the one with the most average talent. However, master always cared about destiny when taking disciples. Yun Chu said that master first encountered Liu Dao when he was only three or four years old, already on the brink of death—covered in terrifying wounds, drenched in blood, he was holding onto a Little Xuan Snake, injured in the act of protecting it."

"What is the relationship between the Little Xuan Snake and Liu Dao?"

"Not clear." You shook your head, "Even master couldn’t provide a clear explanation; he only mentioned that the Xuan Snake was somewhat extraordinary, fated with Liu Dao, so he also brought the Xuan Snake into the sect."

"The power of Reincarnation controlled by Liu Dao is extremely special, a kind of power that even master hadn’t seen before. Therefore, he rarely taught Liu Dao any other Immortal Techniques, allowing him to develop freely, only offering tips and solutions at critical moments."

"And then?"

"Among the four siblings, my junior sister was the first to encounter calamity. She perceived the purest power of the Heavenly Dao, and just as her True Sky Seal was about to open, the God Race intervened, causing her to nearly suffer complete annihilation of body and spirit. It was only with master’s life’s strength that he was able to protect a wisp of junior sister’s residual soul. Afterward, he took junior sister back to the Ten Directions Heaven Beyond the Sky, permanently closing off the Tenth Outer Heaven, entrusting the Heaven Beyond the Heavens to Yun Chu, and then master disappeared without a trace. Later on, Yun Chu became the enemy of All Heavens Gods and Demons, perishing together with Suyi, and you know my original fate as well. I was supposed to share the same end as Yun Chu, but at the crucial moment, Liu Dao took action, forcing my soul into Reincarnation. After that, he vanished under the watchful eyes of the myriad gods."

Xiao Feng silenced for a while, then spoke: "According to you, Liu Dao has cultivated in secret for over three thousand years for the sole purpose of using his power of Reincarnation to allow junior sister to enter reincarnation anew?"

"Yes!"

You nodded and then loudly declared, "All Forms of Sen Luo, reveal the truth!"

The strong light emitted by the Red Talisman Paper quickly converged into the figure of a woman, who was Little Qinniang’s biological mother.

"Auntie, long time no see."

The woman appeared momentarily stunned, looking around in astonishment, she asked: "How am I still alive?"

You smiled and said: "To be precise, you’ve already passed away. When I buried you, I deliberately left a thread of your soul behind. Originally, the intention was for Little Yan to have a chance to see you one last time when she misses you, to give her closure. I didn’t expect to summon you now."

"Did something happen to Qinniang?"

You shook your head: "She’s doing well; she is beloved by many."

Upon hearing this, the woman’s face finally showed a relieved expression, but she was quick to react, immediately saying: "You’ve summoned me now, is it because of Little Yan?"
