Heavenly Proud Daughter

As Yi Yun reminisced about Lord Qingyang's experiences, he inadvertently noticed Lin Xin Tong standing not far away in front of the portrait of the Ancient Empress, her eyes closed and her eyelashes trembling slightly.

After a long while, she slowly opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with a sense of wonder.

She seemed to have just woken up from a dream. After opening her eyes and looking around, she suddenly looked at Yi Yun.

Lin Xin Tong slightly relieved when she saw Yi Yun's familiar face.

Yi Yun couldn't help but grasp Lin Xin Tong's hand. "What's wrong?"

Lin Xin Tong seemed still immersed in the dream she had just experienced. She said, "I saw the Ancient Empress, followed her, and experienced her entire life."

Yi Yun was taken aback; Lin Xin Tong had experienced the same thing as him.

He looked at the two portraits and said, "These two portraits may contain the will of two predecessors, and I have also seen the life story of Lord Qingyang."

Lin Xin Tong slowly walked over and reached out to stroke the portrait of the Ancient Empress. The empress's solitary figure walking across the icy plains made her sigh, "The Ancient Empress's past, her childhood, are so similar to mine. She was truly an extraordinary woman."

As she spoke, Lin Xin Tong slowly recounted what she had witnessed: the life of the Ancient Empress.

Both Innate Yin Meridian, the Ancient Empress also suffered discrimination in her childhood.

She was born into a prominent martial arts Lineage, whose status in the Tianyuan Realm surpassed that of the Lin family. This Lineage was renowned for producing numerous talented individuals and geniuses.

As a direct descendant of the Ancient Empress, she Innate Yin Meridian, which made her birth into such Lineage a tragedy.

A genius destined to perish has no value from the very beginning.

The Ancient Empress experienced the harsh realities of life and the coldness of human relationships from a young age. Growing up in adversity, her character was like a flower blooming in the snow—cold yet resilient.

She never gave up the chance to restore her Fatal Meridian. She left her Lineage and traveled far and wide. In an Undying Sea, where there were few people, she found a thatched hut. There, she met Lord Qingyang, who was living in seclusion.

"So, after Lord Qingyang came to this world, he lived in seclusion here." Yi Yun listened carefully. He had experienced Lord Qingyang's life before, but stopped when Lord Qingyang entered this world.

Now, however, the story continues from the perspective of Ancient Empress, through Lin Xin Tong.

The entrance to the world where Guixu connects to the Tianyuan Realm is actually the Eternal Vortex. Lord Qingyang entered this world by emerging from the Eternal Vortex.

However, after arriving in this world, Lord Qingyang found himself trapped here. He found it difficult to return to Guixu through the Eternal Vortex, and it was also difficult to find another way back to the Twelve Emperor Heavens.

Lord Qingyang secluded himself by the Undying Sea in order to continue searching for the path back. The terrifying suction deep within the Eternal Vortex made him realize that finding this path would not be easy, and even if he were to return to the Twelve Emperor Heavens, he would still be wandering aimlessly in the Void of Return.

He searched slowly, unwilling to give up.

It was at this time that Lord Qingyang encountered the Ancient Empress.

The empress of that time, dressed in white, was just like the one in the portrait, a beautiful flower blooming alone in the snow. The first time Lord Qingyang saw the Ancient Empress, he could tell that she was born with a congenital Fatal Meridian.

But in the eyes of the Ancient Empress, there was no trace of self-pity.

It seems that even if there is a dead end ahead, this woman will not back down, but will use the sword in her hand to carve out a path for herself.

This never-give-up attitude made Lord Qingyang see himself in it.

I also saw a resemblance to Bai Yueyin...

Lord Qingyang felt a sense of appreciation for the young Ancient Empress. Perhaps it was for this reason, or perhaps it was because she was somewhat similar to Bai Yueyin. Lord Qingyang himself did not know why, in this unfamiliar world, he took the initiative to get to know this girl he had met by chance, and guided her on some martial arts principles. Later, he even took her as his disciple.

When the Ancient Empress saw this man, she also sensed that he was no ordinary person. Later, the Pure Yang Technique taught by Lord Qingyang far surpassed the existing martial arts level in the Tianyuan Realm.

The Ancient Empress was born into a top Lineage and had read countless books, but the cultivation method taught by Lord Qingyang was something she had never heard of or seen before.

This gave the Ancient Empress, who had been searching for a way to restore her severed Fatal Meridian but had never succeeded, a glimmer of hope.

She cultivated diligently, Ancient Empress, with her exceptional talent, made rapid progress in her cultivation techniques.

Lord Qingyang was even more astonished. He had originally only wanted to have someone to talk to in his lonely life, but he never expected that this casual act would shock him more and more.

The Ancient Empress was absolutely a genius of unparalleled talent!

Originally, Lord Qingyang only intended to teach the Ancient Empress some ordinary techniques, but after witnessing Ancient Empress exceptional talent in martial arts, he also developed the intention to wholeheartedly teach Ancient Empress.

It's such a pity that such a martial arts genius had his path cut short due to Fatal Meridian.

Lord Qingyang simply took out the <Yang God Scripture> he obtained in Guixu, and after the Ancient Empress mastered it, he also passed on the <Nine Nether Sacred Canon> to her.

The Ancient Empress's strength was growing rapidly. While witnessing the Ancient Empress's improvement in strength, Lord Qingyang felt that his mentality was also gradually changing, as if he had regained his true vitality.

He slowly rediscovered his former self: carefree, unrestrained, and living life to the fullest.

The Ancient Empress's cultivation level gradually grew to an incredible height, far exceeding the level of martial arts in the Tianyuan Realm.

During that time, Lord Qingyang and the Ancient Empress traveled across the continent together, enjoying life and witnessing the changing times.

Even when the Ancient Empress's strength had surpassed that of many geniuses of the Yang God Emperor Heaven, she did something that Lord Qingyang found unbelievable.

She actually comprehended the <Empress Heart Sutra> from these two supreme fragments!

Perhaps it was her congenital absence of Fatal Meridian that ironically made her who she is. Her obsession with completely restoring her Fatal Meridian led her to such astonishing achievements. The Empress Heart Sutra can be called a peerless masterpiece!

Lord Qingyang was proud throughout his life. He originally thought that the only woman who could amaze him with her talent and beauty was Bai Yueyin. He never expected that in this life, he would meet a woman who was even more outstanding than Bai Yueyin.

The Ancient Empress's talent, gifts, and resilient character deeply moved Lord Qingyang. In turn, Lord Qingyang's unrestrained spirit and deep sense of loyalty opened the Ancient Empress's heart.

The two lived happily ever after, like a divine couple, envied by all.

But in Lord Qingyang's heart, there was still an obsession. He still wanted to return to the Twelve Emperor Heavens, he wanted to reclaim his glory, and he wanted to ask Bai Yueyin why.

This is like a knot in his heart; if it isn't untied, Lord Qingyang will never feel at ease.

Therefore, Lord Qingyang explored the Eternal Vortex several times, searching for a way back to the Void.

He joined forces with the Ancient Empress and explored deeper and deeper. Gradually, Lord Qingyang discovered that there was an ancient barrier within the Eternal Vortex.

This barrier is extremely well-hidden, and within it exists an incredibly powerful force. This force doesn't seem to be naturally formed by the Great Dao of Creation.

If it originated from a mysterious person, then the strength of that mysterious person who could leave behind this power is something that even Lord Qingyang finds secretly alarming.

Lord Qingyang found it hard to believe that such a person could exist in this small world with such a low level of martial arts, and what was his purpose in coming here?

Could he have come from the Twelve Emperor Heavens? Did he also wander into this place by mistake while exploring the Ruins of Return?

This thought made Lord Qingyang feel a sense of kinship with this person. He was eager to know what this mysterious person had gone through and where he was now.

However, Lord Qingyang could sense that although this barrier was very powerful, it had existed for too long and was much weaker than it had been back then.

Even the powerful forces within the barrier were greatly weakened.

This power was mysterious; he even felt a sense of familiarity with it...

Faintly, this power was calling to him...

This greatly surprised Lord Qingyang. Why was a familiar power appearing within the barrier of this small world?

But no matter how hard he tried to think and recall, he couldn't remember where this power came from or where he had encountered it before. (To be continued~^~)
