Heavenly Emperor of the Royal Path's Beginning: I Want to See Which Little Brat Dares Lay a Hand on My Daughter
Bringing the Heavenly Emperor of the Royal Path's Beginning was Le Zhentian's idea. This Consciousness Demon Clone of Bai Li shares the same mind as Bai Li himself. Except for the difference in memory caused by the Void barrier, he is another Bai Li.
The person in this world who knows the Immortal Emperor Shuhua best is undoubtedly his mentor, the First Immortal Emperor. If Bai Li were to come over, he would easily be able to see the traces left by the Immortal Emperor Shuhua in these Material Plane.
After listening to Bai Qiuran's explanation, the Heavenly Emperor of the Royal Path's Beginning walked around the wooden temple of the God of Runes, then said with certainty, "Indeed, this is undoubtedly the temple left behind by Shuhua."
"Oh? How do you know?"
Bai Qiuran asked.
"That symbol is a personal symbol of the Shuhua."
The Heavenly Emperor of the Royal Path's Beginning, pointing to the symbols representing the God of Runes inscribed on the temple, said, "Those are symbols I taught him; apart from Shuhua, no one else knows how to use them."
"Is it possible that it's just a coincidence?"
"No, because this symbol represents the tribe that Shuhua."
The Heavenly Emperor of the Royal Path's Beginning, replied, "Master, do you still remember the social structure of the Human Race on the earth when you first accepted me as your disciple?"
"Of course I remember."
Bai Qiuran glanced at Jiang Lan and nodded.
At that time, Human Race were organized into tribes and scattered across the land. Because of the wild beasts, Strange Beasts, Divine Beasts, and Heavenly Gods that filled the Wilderness, they were isolated from each other. In a few hundred years, they might become a completely different race, just like the Human Race who once eked out a living in the shadow of the Fusang Divine Tree.
"You may not remember whether Shuhua is a descendant of the Garrison Tribe or whether you rescued him, Master, but when the Heavenly Gods destroyed the Human Race and you arrived at the Garrison Tribe, the Garrison Tribe had already perished, leaving only an infant, and that was Shuhua."
The Heavenly Emperor of the Royal Path's Beginning, gazing at the symbol, slowly said, "When you left the Divine Age and entrusted me with the Painting world that sealed the Human Race, I discovered Shuhua and, together with Lian'er, adopted him as my eldest disciple. The souls of the Garrison Tribe ancestors in the Ghost Realm also entrusted me to pass on this Garrison Tribe symbol to him, so that he would remember his origins. This is one of the things he remembers most deeply. Shuhua uses it almost everywhere he goes. From the banners of his army to the small decorations on his belt, he uses this symbol. Therefore, I can hardly be mistaken; there is no doubt that the civilization here arose under Shuhua's leadership."
"Okay, so now here's the question."
Bai Qiuran clapped her hands.
"If the God of Runes really is Shuhua, then according to legend, the God of Runes is a man and a woman. The man is Shuhua, but who is the woman? Don't tell me he could find a female companion in a place like this. Look at the God Statue; it's clearly Human Race female."
"Um..."
The First Heavenly Emperor pondered, "Could it be that Shuhua cultivated an External Incarnation and then underwent a sex change?"
"Well said. So what was his motive for doing this?"
Bai Qiuran also said in a deep voice, "You are his master, so you should know him best. What reason does he have to do this?"
"Hmm... Living in the Foreign Realm, I miss my hometown. Is this some kind of consolation?"
The First Heavenly Emperor looked distressed, completely baffled.
"That's not right, Shuhua is a gentleman, not the repressed type..."
"Oh, then you might as well say he changed his personality for you. Actually, the child who was raised by his master from childhood already harbored a forbidden feeling beyond mere reverence for his wise and powerful master. He could only suppress it before, but now that he's in the Foreign Realm and facing death, he's finally decided to let go of himself and choose his own path of the soul."
Bai Qiuran speaking, she mimicked him in a high-pitched voice, "Hmph, don't misunderstand. A lazy, roguish, and lecherous man like Master, there's probably only one person in the world who likes him, and that person just happens to be me Shuhua..."
"Damn it, Master, can you please stop talking?"
Upon hearing this, the First Heavenly Emperor shuddered and said, "Your guess is even more unreliable than mine, but it's inexplicably disgusting."
"It's not like your guess isn't disgusting."
Bai Qiuran's expression returned to normal, and she said, "So you still don't know who that woman is?"
The First Heavenly Emperor shook his head.
"Useless. Forget it, I'll check it myself."
Bai Qiuran raised her hand and slapped the First Heavenly Emperor on the head.
On the other side, Su Xiangxue, who was watching the interaction between the two, silently turned her head, pointed at Bai Qiuran, and asked, "What's wrong with this guy? Where did he learn such disgusting things?"
Jiang Lan lightly touched her lips with her finger and replied, "I remember Qiuran was recently looking through the romance novels that Jinyao had collected."
"What's that blockhead doing reading romance novels? Shouldn't he be looking at Foundation Establishment Secret Art?"
"No."
Jiang Lan shook her head and smiled, "Qiuran said this is so that she can detect whether Xuxiang has started dating early in the future, and if she has..."
What if they were in a relationship early on?
"Then I'll personally go and talk to that Little Brat who dared to lay a hand on my daughter, and teach him why there are eighteen levels of Hell."
Jiang Lan, with a cold expression, mimicked Bai Qiuran's tone and continued, "This is what he said at the time."
"... It seems that it won't be easy for Xuxiang to find a suitable husband in the Xuxiang."
The Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect sighed.
"Does Xiangxue disapprove of Qiuran's actions?"
Jiang Lan asked.
"No."
Su Xiangxue thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I agree."
Regardless, all the evidence points to Themis, the Great Sage of the Fairy Race; this blonde Fairies must know some inside information.
Bai Qiuran considered himself neither a gentleman nor an unscrupulous villain. He believed that if the material and spiritual civilization he had guided his Disciple's Grand-disciple to develop could be resolved peacefully, then it was best to resolve the issue peacefully.
However, if these material beings think they are easy to bully just because they are not locals, then Bai Qiuran is willing to use some extreme methods to get an answer.
With some time still to go before the so-called "Hunting Day," Bai Qiuran and his companions decided to explore this world.
During this time, Bai Qiuran accompanied his two wives, taking in the wondrous scenery of this Material Plane, while also observing the so-called Runes of this world. He discovered that the Immortal Emperor Shuhua had created a new cultivation system in this Material Plane.
The Runes System is based on the Cultivation system. The fundamental reason it was created is that the material beings in this world do not have the Purple Mansion Qi Sea within their bodies.
The Runes System created by the Immortal Emperor Shuhua allows cultivators to inscribe modified Runes onto their bodies to enhance their strength, store energy, and master and manipulate mystical powers.
Bai Qiuran had considered similar cultivation methods before. Back in the Age of Divine Age, he struggled with the path to immortality after the Mahayana Stage, so he went into seclusion and tried many different approaches.
He had also considered inscribing Runes onto his body to enhance his combat power, but at that time, he was thinking about how Cultivators would inscribe Runes representing the Great Dao onto their Nascent Soul.
However, in this world, the concept of this system by the Immortal Emperor Shuhua should still be in its initial stage. Therefore, even if the Runes System here is cultivated to its peak, like that Great Sage Themis and the Dragon King of the Dragon Race, it is only equivalent to the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
