Chapter 714: Chapter 714: Grandma Meng Soup_1

My heart felt as though it had been struck by a hammer!

It was as if my three souls and seven spirits leaped for an instant, and my spirit was disturbed along with them.

Grandma Meng paid no attention to you and Zhao’er like before, she slightly tilted her head back, her profound starry eyes seeming to pierce through the rain mist and cloud layers, seeing the Heaven Beyond the Heaven.

"The Ten Directions Heaven Beyond the sky, that’s a realm only existing in myths. There, each Heaven Beyond the Heaven is a place filled with exceptional spiritual qualities, the abode where Heaven and Earth True Qi fills the air the most," Grandma Meng paused, then sighed, "Similarly, it’s also the battleground for conflicts within and beyond the Three Realms."

The horror in my heart was beyond reinforcement; I merely nodded dumbly.

As for Zhao’er, she remained indifferent and tranquil, as if the matters Grandma Meng briefly mentioned had nothing to do with her—a mere passerby, uninvolved.

"Thousands of years ago, Divine Emperor Sen Luo, Yun Chu, unified the Ten Directions Heaven Beyond the sky, expelling all gods and demons. Because of that, he also became the only common enemy of both god and demon realms," Grandma Meng said, then fell silent.

"Although, you’re just a mortal, the matter does relate to the Heavenly Court, so I shouldn’t say more. I’ll just tell you the outcome. To protect the Ten Directions Heaven Beyond the sky from the wanton trampling of gods and demons, Divine Emperor Sen Luo and his wife Suyi stood together against All Heavens Gods and Demons. In the end, Yun Chu used all of his divine power to completely seal the Ten Directions Heaven Beyond the sky. He and his wife Suyi embraced and vanished together before the eyes of all gods and demons."

"Right, they also had one..." Grandma Meng seemed to remember something, her eyes flickered once, then she continued, "Never mind, you’ll likely find out about it yourself in the future. Since she didn’t reveal everything, if I were to speak of it now, and she gets furious later, the Underworld would never know peace."

I frowned, "Since Yun Chu and Suyi are no more, Zhao’er shouldn’t have anything to do with Suyi, right?"

"Not necessarily," Grandma Meng spoke softly, "There’s much I’m not sure about since my power and insight are limited. But one thing is an indisputable fact."

"What is that?"

"The Sen Luo Eye."

"Hm?"

I was taken aback, not immediately understanding.

"The Sen Luo Eye is not a Pupil Skill, but the very eyes of Divine Emperor Sen Luo, Yun Chu. It’s said that he was the progenitor of all Pupil Skills, the creator of all such skills in the world," she said.

Scratching my head, I uncertainly said, "Grandma, according to what you mean, do I have some connection with Yun Chu, or even, am I his reincarnation?"

Grandma Meng, however, shook her head: "If you really had a connection with Yun Chu, it couldn’t be called reincarnation. Reincarnation involves drinking Grandma Meng Soup and going through the six realms of reincarnation; when Yun Chu vanished, I was still a nameless Loose Cultivator in the Heavenly Court, and back then, there wasn’t even talk of Grandma Meng Soup. I can be sure that you’re not Yun Chu’s reincarnation."

"Then... why do I have the Sen Luo Eye?"

"That, I’m not clear about, you’ll have to discover for yourself."

"What about Zhao’er?"

Grandma Meng shrugged her shoulders fashionably.

Well, great, this just became more confusing.

I had thought that by listening to Grandma Meng, I might be able to straighten things out and figure out Zhao’er’s identity straight away. Now it’s only grown more intricate and enigmatic.

However, at the very least, I knew Yun Chu’s true identity and combining that with past experiences, I formed a list of suspicions.

First, the relationship between the Empress and Zhao’er.

I knew that the Empress was using Zhao’er’s body to be reborn through reincarnation, and at the same time, the Empress is the Human Soul of a Goddess. The Goddess and Zhao’er look extremely alike, anyone would think they’re twins; it’s possible that the Goddess and Zhao’er could be a pair of twin sisters.

Second, my relationship with Yun Chu.

Upon her first sight of you, the Goddess called you Yun Chu directly. At that time, you thought she had simply mistaken you for someone else, perhaps because you bore some resemblance to Yun Chu. But upon closer consideration, the eyes of a Goddess are unlike those of mortals, and her belief that you are Yun Chu must certainly be related to something about you—perhaps, it is because of the Sen Luo Eye.

Third, the Sen Luo Eye and the Mysterious Seal.

Currently, not a few are aware that you possess the Sen Luo Eye, but few have actually seen it; as for that Mysterious Seal, it seems that from the beginning till now, not a soul has mentioned or seen through it. In private, you’ve also investigated this seal but came up with nothing.

At first, you even believed that this Mysterious Seal could be part of the Sen Luo Eye, or perhaps another form of manifestation.

However, since your visit to the Heavenless Hell, you’ve come to understand that the Mysterious Seal has no direct connection with the Sen Luo Curse Mark. It appears that the Sen Luo Curse Mark cannot affect the Mysterious Seal, whereas the Mysterious Seal can enhance the curse mark, significantly increasing its power. Therefore, you believe that the true power of the Mysterious Seal might be even stronger than the Sen Luo Eye!

Fourth, the relationship between Zhao’er and Suyi.

According to Grandma Meng, Zhao’er and Suyi are nearly identical in appearance. Although Suyi perished along with Yun Chu, the Sen Luo Eye was somehow preserved, so you still believe there must be some kind of connection between Zhao’er and Suyi.

Fifth, this is the most troubling issue for you right now, which is the relationship between Zhao’er and Li Li.

You roughly guessed Li Li’s identity; even though she appears as a little girl, you know she must be very strong—so strong that you cannot begin to estimate her power.

She has been calling you and Zhao’er "parents" from the start, and while you were unclear at first, after what Grandma Meng said, you now understand.

Li Li must be the daughter of Yun Chu and Suyi.

Moreover, you know that her calling you and Zhao’er parents is surely not because you look similar to Yun Chu and Suyi. There must be some hidden truth there.

Ah, the agony!

This feeling of almost solving the puzzle, yet facing a fog-shrouded mystery, is damn frustrating!

Alright, since it’s not making sense, just put it aside for now.

Next, it’s time to prepare the ingredients to restore Zhao’er’s consciousness.

Thinking this, you turn to Grandma Meng and ask, "Grandma, may I have a cup of Grandma Meng Soup?"

"Hmm?"

Grandma Meng is startled, clearly not expecting such a request from you.

"What do you want Grandma Meng Soup for? Are you tired of living, and want to directly reincarnate?"

You are startled and ask, "Will drinking Grandma Meng Soup cause death?"

"Or else what, you think Grandma Meng Soup is some kind of tonic?"

Grandma Meng manages a rare moment of humor.

"This..." You scratch your head, knowing that some matters are better openly discussed rather than cloaked in secrecy. You decide not to hide anything and relay exactly what Li Li has told you to Grandma Meng.

After hearing this, Grandma Meng falls silent again.

After a while, she slightly lifts her head and asks, "Did she really say that?"

"Yes." You nod seriously.

She looks intently at Zhao’er for at least five minutes, then turns back to you and says, "Are you sure you want to go through with this, truly no regrets?"
