The Eastern Xuan Region's waters are too deep, Jiang Xue is still the best wife

Chapter 5: The Eastern Xuan Region's Waters Run Too Deep—Better to Stick with Wife Jiang Xue!

As for the Dao Sect's Great Desolation Ancient Tablet, though its origins were extraordinary, aside from the Great Desolation Ancient Scripture recorded within, it seemed to serve no other purpose.

Calling it an Ancient Divine Artifact was a bit of a stretch.

"Qingzhu, I know not why you ask such a question, but the path of cultivation requires steady progress. Do not aim too high, grasping at shadows in the water—you'll gain nothing and lose much!"

Just as Ling Qingzhu's mind wandered beyond the heavens, the Palace Master's voice rang out once more.

"Master's lesson is well taken. Your disciple receives it!"

Hearing her master's words, Ling Qingzhu gave a bitter smile and cupped her hands slightly.

"Recently, the Huangpu Clan of the Great Yan Dynasty sent me a letter. A Nirvana Realm expert's relic has appeared within the Great Yan Dynasty's borders."

"I had no intention of bothering with this matter, but I have some ties with the Huangpu Clan. A Nirvana Realm expert's relic might leave behind a Nirvana Heart!"

"Go in my stead and help the Huangpu Clan obtain the Nirvana Realm inheritance. If there is a Nirvana Heart, it may also aid you in breaking through to the Nirvana Realm!"

Ling Qingzhu was about to take her leave.

Then she heard her master speak these words.

She froze on the spot.

A Nirvana Realm relic?

A Nirvana Heart?!

Could everything recorded in that diary be true?

"Master, why send your disciple for this? An ordinary disciple would suffice."

After reading the diary Lin Yang had recorded, Ling Qingzhu instinctively wanted to avoid wading into these troubled waters.

It was all too coincidental. The more she thought about it, the more alarmed she became!

"The Huangpu Clan has ties with me. Sending an ordinary disciple would make the Nine Heavens Supreme Clarity Palace seem lacking in face."

"You have lingered at the peak of the Creation Realm for many days. A trip outside might grant you the opportunity for a breakthrough."

The Palace Master spoke slowly.

"Yes, your disciple accepts the order."

Ling Qingzhu cupped her hands, then withdrew from the great hall.

Dao Sect, Grand Hall!

Strangely, the hall was not a scene of resplendent splendor.

Instead, it held a lake, within which grew a patch of sacred lotuses.

Upon a cluster of lotus leaves, a middle-aged man in coarse linen robes sat cross-legged.

He was none other than the Dao Sect's Sect Leader—Ying Xuanzi!

Just then!

Ripples spread across the lake as two strikingly beautiful figures walked atop the water, slowly approaching the lotus leaves.

They stopped before the middle-aged man.

Sensing their arrival, the man seated on the lotus leaves opened his eyes.

A hint of a smile flickered in his gaze. "What brings you two here?"

"Father, my sister and I came to ask you—"

Just as Ying Huanhuan was about to bring up the diary, suddenly!

Her mind trembled, as if speaking of the diary would mean her death.

With that thought, Ying Huanhuan cast a pleading look at Ying Xiaoxiao beside her.

Catching Ying Huanhuan's gaze, Ying Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly and shook her head at her.

Just moments ago, she too had felt that same chilling sensation. Ying Xiaoxiao was certain it was no illusion.

Some force was silently forbidding them from speaking of the diary.

At that moment!

Hearing Ying Huanhuan cut herself off, Ying Xuanzi turned his gaze to Ying Xiaoxiao:

"Has Huanhuan broken the sect rules again?"

"No, no, Father. If I'd broken the rules, why would I come to you? I just missed you."

Ying Huanhuan quickly waved her hands, forcing a sheepish explanation.

"Father, we came to ask if you've ever heard of Reincarnators?" Ying Xiaoxiao asked.

"Reincarnator"

When those three words were spoken.

A grave expression surfaced on Ying Xuanzi's face.

He glanced at Ying Huanhuan's cheerful demeanor, and the gravity faded.

Long after!

Ying Xuanzi said flatly: "Those who step into the Reincarnation Realm face a reincarnation tribulation. Survive it, and they evolve; fail, and they dissipate. Some extraordinary Reincarnation Realm experts can enter reincarnation after failing the tribulation."

"And those reborn in this way are Reincarnators!"

Reincarnation Realm?!

Hearing Ying Xuanzi's words.

Ying Xiaoxiao and Ying Huanhuan's faces showed an undeniable shock.

After all!

Their father, as a super powerhouse of the Eastern Xuan Region and the leader of the Dao Sect.

Was only at the Wheel Turning Realm!

If Ying Huanhuan truly was a Reincarnator, didn't that mean...

Ying Huanhuan's past life was a super powerhouse of the Reincarnation Realm?!

"Why do you bring this up? Have you heard some rumor?"

As the two were stunned, Ying Xuanzi's voice rang out again.

"No, we were just reading some ancient texts and came across the matter of Reincarnators. We were curious."

Ying Xiaoxiao explained.

"Father, we won't disturb your cultivation. My sister and I have some things to attend to. We'll take our leave."

With that, Ying Huanhuan pulled Ying Xiaoxiao and left the hall.

Watching them go.

Ying Xuanzi's mind couldn't settle for a long time, then he looked toward the hall: "Come!"

"Leader!" A disciple appeared silently in the hall.

"Go invite the two hall masters of Heaven Hall here!"

"Yes!" The disciple acknowledged and withdrew.

At this!

Ying Xuanzi murmured: "A Reincarnator... Could it be that Huanhuan's Reincarnation Seal within her has loosened? Regardless, this must not be spread."

[Ah, the waters of the Eastern Xuan Region run too deep. Mainly those three bastards from Yuan Sect—the Dao Sect and Nine Heavens Supreme Clarity Palace will face disaster soon enough!]

[Better to cozy up to Jiang Xue of Eagle Martial Arts School and Jiang Yinyin.]

[Jiang Xue is only at the Primal Core Realm now, and Jiang Yinyin is just an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, right?]

[Don't underestimate Jiang Yinyin at eleven or twelve—her background is enormous. She's the master of the Life and Death Ancestral Talisman, the first disciple of the Symbol Ancestor, the senior sister among the Eight Ancient Masters, and the ancestor of the Undying Sacred Whale Clan!]

[But Jiang Yinyin, like Ying Huanhuan, is also a Reincarnator, not yet awakened. I can get in first while the chance is close!]

[Their family runs a martial arts school. I can go apprentice there first, maybe win Jiang Xue and Jiang Yinyin's favor?]

[If I can latch onto Jiang Yinyin's thigh, I'll never worry about food or drink again!]

[But this Blood Vulture Martial Arts School is planning to strike Eagle Martial Arts School in half a year—that's trouble. Jiang Yinyin hasn't awakened yet, and no one at Eagle Martial Arts School can match Blood Vulture Martial Arts School!]

[Do I have to wait for Lin Dong to come save Eagle Martial Arts School? No way! How the hell can that work? If Lin Dong shows up, all my efforts are wasted!]

[First join Eagle Martial Arts School, then convince Jiang Xue and Jiang Yinyin to flee with me. That solves Eagle Martial Arts School's problem, and they won't meet Lin Dong!]

[That way, Jiang Xue won't offer herself to Lin Dong. Genius, aren't I? Just wait for Jiang Yinyin's memories to awaken, and I coast to victory!]

[Hey, word count's about right. I'll stop here and save the rest for next time.]

Great Eagle City!

At this moment, Lin Yang had no idea he was already being watched.

Without realizing it, he had finished writing the required diary text.

Meanwhile!

The system's mechanical voice rang out again in Lin Yang's mind.
