Uchiha Shin quietly listened to his master's words, his heart still filled with astonishment.
The affairs of the Three Realms really were melodramatic enough.
"As for Queen Mother of the West and her daughter, many people naturally did not want this to happen. So that person acted, faked the daughter's death, and took her away," Patriarch Bodhi continued.
Uchiha Shin asked, "Who was that person?"
"Who do you think?"
"Taishang Laojun?"
Patriarch Bodhi merely smiled without answering.
Then it was Taishang Laojun.
Thinking about it, it made sense. Taishang Laojun had controlled the trajectory of chaos back then. Naturally, he would not have wanted Queen Mother of the West to grow too powerful, perhaps even surpassing him, so he had done such a thing.
With control over the trajectory of chaos, it would naturally have been very easy for Taishang Laojun to fake the death of Queen Mother of the West's daughter.
"Then why didn't Laojun kill Wang Xiuxiu back then, instead hiding her away? Wasn't he afraid Queen Mother of the West would find her?" Uchiha Shin asked again.
Patriarch Bodhi said, "Wang Xiuxiu's emergence was somewhat beyond Laojun's expectations. Moreover, Wang Xiuxiu possessed an innate immortal bone, one that had a certain connection to the Deva Path. If Taishang Laojun acted against her, it would certainly affect his cultivation.
"You must understand that his Saint Realm followed the principle of governing through inaction, of controlling the Chaos Star Disk. If he did such a thing, he would be going against the trajectory of chaos's operation, and that would give others an opportunity.
"Furthermore, some great powers of the Three Realms knew of this matter as well. They secretly kept Laojun in check, preventing him from acting easily. Thus, Wang Xiuxiu could only be left in the mortal world,
