Chapter 376

Without a doubt, this is a genuine Earth Immortal Method!

As the dagger was drawn, the void trembled, as if it could not withstand the pressure and was about to collapse.

Seeing this, Lin Wanqiu sheathed his sword and took it back to his Purple Mansion Grotto-Heaven.

"Your Highness has seen it. This magic weapon, at the Earth Immortal level, is extremely precious, but Senior Xuandu insisted on giving it to me."

Lin Wanqiu looked solemnly at Ye Ruoshui, Xu Xiuer, and Sheng Bailan.

"Ruoshui became a disciple of the Primordial Earth Immortal and received a divine pill at the Earth Immortal level; Xiu'er became a disciple of the Penglai Earth Immortal and was given free access to all the books on Penglai Immortal Island; Bailan became Wei Clan Old Ancestor and even received the White Tiger Sword Dao Inheritance Sword Pagoda, which was the foundation of the Wei Clan Old Ancestor's life, yet she willingly gave it up!"

"As for other guidance and the transmission of cultivation experience, they were more than willing to give it to us, even offering it voluntarily. It's less that we became their disciples and more that they were begging to teach us."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ruoshui, Xu Xiuer, and Sheng Bailan all nodded in agreement.

"When someone gives a gift, they always expect something in return!"

Lin Wanqiu emphasized, "The four Earth Immortal seniors are so earnest and enthusiastic. Although we four have some talent, we are not worthy of their condescension. Therefore, what they want is all for Your Highness!"

Upon hearing Lin Wanqiu's words, the expressions of Xu Xiuer, Sheng Bailan, and Ye Ruoshui changed slightly.

"Wanqiu is right."

Xiao Minghuang nodded. Since the Four Immortals were being so attentive, they must have some ulterior motive; they couldn't possibly just be doing this for charity.

If you give me a peach, I will repay you with a precious jade.

Since the Four Immortals have taken the initiative to show goodwill, she will surely repay them in the future.

Seeing that Xiao Minghuang was dismissing her, Lin Wanqiu quickly added, "I wanted to remind Your Highness not to accept any of their unreasonable demands!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang's beautiful eyes showed surprise, then she shook her head and chuckled, "Wanqiu, don't worry, those four are no ordinary people, they will naturally know their place."

After saying that, Xiao Minghuang raised his hand and patted Lin Wanqiu's head.

As she was affectionately caressed, Lin Wanqiu's pretty face flushed, and her delicate body trembled slightly. She quickly whispered, "I was just worried that they might have ulterior motives or ill intentions. I wasn't being overly anxious!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang pondered for a moment before nodding and saying, "That's true, you're absolutely right! I'll remember that!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the two had almost finished talking, Xu Xiuer interrupted:

"Your Highness, why haven't I seen Qianhua?"

When Xiao Minghuang hurriedly returned from the Southern Wilderness, he took Luo Qianhua with him. Now, however, he only saw her return alone, so this question was naturally inevitable.

"Qianhua has been given another destiny and has temporarily fallen into slumber; it is unknown when she will awaken."

Xiao Minghuang explained.

Then, she recounted in detail what had happened inside the Fallen Phoenix Pond.

After listening...

Ye Ruoshui and the other three were all stunned, unable to shake off the feeling for a long time.

"So, the Great Xia had such a history..."

The four of them were all from the Great Xia. Ye Ruoshui was originally from an ordinary family near the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty. She was a native of the Great Xia Dynasty and, strictly speaking, a descendant of the Great Xia people. If we trace her lineage back further, she was actually a descendant of Emperor Zhu Yan and the Undying Divine Phoenix.

Although Lin Wanqiu's mother was from the Changsheng Lin clan, her father was a native of the Great Xia Dynasty and should also be a descendant of Emperor Zhu Yan and the Undying Divine Phoenix.

Xu Xiuer is the daughter of King Wu'an, who is a hereditary King Wu'an of the Great Xia Dynasty. Later, he was promoted to a prince in King Wu'an generation. Perhaps in some unknown ancient era, Xu Xiuer's ancestors fought alongside Emperor Zhu Yan. Therefore, she is also a true descendant of Emperor Zhu Yan and the Undying Divine Phoenix.

As for Sheng Bailan, although she was once the Sect Master the Spirit Sword Sect, she was actually Great Xia before joining the Spirit Sword Sect, and she is very likely a descendant of Emperor Zhu Yan and the Undying Divine Phoenix.

So, excluding Luo Qianhua who is temporarily unconscious and unaware of her origins, the five people present, including Xiao Minghuang, all come from the same ancestor!

Upon hearing this news from Xiao Minghuang, Ye Ruoshui, Lin Wanqiu, and Sheng Bailan could only sigh deeply, marveling at the coincidence of fate. However, Xu Xiuer seemed to take it to heart, determined to investigate the ancestral lineage of the group thoroughly!

Xu Xiuer said, "Your Highness!"

Xiao Minghuang glanced sideways and responded with a soft "Hmm?"

"Sister Ruoshui!"

Ye Ruoshui looked up at her, puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Sister Lin!"

Lin Wanqiu also looked at her. "Xiu'er, is there something you need?"

"Sister Bailan!"

Sheng Bailan frowned and stared at her.

Xu Xiuer felt a little nervous under the gaze of the four people. She took a deep breath and said, "Please give me a drop of your essence blood. I want to deduce our ancestral lineage!"

The four women exchanged glances, each seeing surprise and astonishment in the other's eyes. They seemed not to have expected Xu Xiuer to be so serious, but none of them refused, and they all took out their essence blood.

Xu Xiuer took the essence blood, carefully released four streams of magical power to envelop it, then sat cross-legged and calmed her mind.

A short while later.

She opened her eyes again and looked at Xiao Minghuang, saying, "Is Qianhua inside Your Highness's Purple Mansion? If possible, could you give me a drop of Qianhua's essence blood?"

Seeing Xu Xiuer's formal demeanor, Xiao Minghuang couldn't help but become curious. Could it be that all six of them originated from the same ancestor?

Is it really possible for such a coincidence to happen in this world?

If it were Ye Ruoshui and Xu Xiuer, it would be fine, since they were both native to Great Xia. But Lin Wanqiu and Sheng Bailan were a different story. As for Luo Qianhua, she felt there was absolutely no chance!

However, she also hoped it was true, as it would strengthen the bond between them.

Afterwards, she visited the Purple Mansion Grotto-Heaven and met Luo Qianhua had been in a deep slumber for a long time.

Previously, when Luo Qianhua and Luo Qianrui had just merged, the newly born her was enveloped in a huge cocoon of light.

As time went by, the light cocoon disappeared without a trace, either naturally dissolving or being absorbed by it.

Now, the newborn Luo Qianhua, born from the fusion of Luo Qianhua and Luo Qianrui, lies quietly amidst a patch of green grass, seemingly completely isolated from her surroundings, yet also seemingly integrated into them, making her elusive.

As a newborn, she seemed to be enveloped in a thin membrane, emitting a faint glow, appearing extremely holy and mysterious, as peaceful and serene as Sleeping Beauty.

All around, flowers are in full bloom, trees provide shade, fragrance fills the air, and petals are scattered everywhere.

This scene was like a dream, something that people witnessed but could hardly believe.

Xiao Minghuang composed himself slightly, then stepped forward and reached out to touch her skin.

Instantly, her skin felt soft and delicate, smooth as jade. The moment her fingertips touched her, she felt a warm and soft power emanating from Luo Qianhua's body. It was an immense vitality, as if it could create life from nothingness, making her heart pound.

"Hoo..." Xiao Minghuang let out a long breath, her cheeks burning and her chest heaving violently.

"Looks like there's still some trouble..."

Xiao Minghuang focused her mind slightly. She knew that the newborn Luo Sisters would inevitably evolve into a powerful being. This power would not necessarily be due to their physique, but rather to a more powerful, more mysterious, and higher-ranking force!

"However, removing even a single drop of blood shouldn't be too difficult."

Immediately, Xiao Minghuang flicked his fingertips, and a beam of Sword Qi the size of a needle tip burst forth, instantly leaving a hair-thick bloodstain on Luo Qianhua's wrist. A drop of platinum liquid seeped out and hovered in his palm.

This is Luo Qianhua's blood.

Xiao Minghuang immediately used her magic to preserve the drop of blood.

When she looked up at Luo Qianhua's wound again, she found that the hair-sized hole had disappeared, as if it had never been injured at all.

"After Qianhua and Xiaorui awaken, they will definitely be extraordinary..."

Xiao Minghuang sighed, then changed her mind and returned to the outside world.

"This is Qianhua's and the others' blood. Take it."

Xiao Minghuang flicked his finger, and a drop of platinum liquid the size of a sesame seed shot out.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Xu Xiuer took the blood, took a deep breath, and then used her magic to circulate the Destiny Dao within her body, urging the five drops of essence blood to merge into a thin line that extended into the void.

In an instant.

A faint ripple spread across the entire void.

A fantastical scene unfolded before everyone's eyes.

Those scenes are all ancient memories, including the battles of the emperors of the ancient Ziwei Divine Dynasty, the annihilation of the Undying Divine Phoenix, the fierce battle of Emperor Zhu Yan against the immortals, and the final scene of Emperor Yuanji, the last emperor of the Emperor Yuanji Ziwei Divine Dynasty, severing his own world origin when his destiny came to an end!

The images were blurry, with only the general shapes vaguely discernible and no clear details, yet everyone wore expressions of profound shock.

Xu Xiuer closed her eyes, pursed her lips, and devoted all her attention to reconstructing the past events.

Immediately following, scenes depicting the decline and fall of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty appeared.

After the fall of Emperor Yuanji, the Eastern Great World drifted in and merged with the Central Heaven Great World, thus developing into a new world that was even more vast and full of vitality.

As a result, the Ziwei Divine Dynasty, having lost the leadership of the Great Emperor, gradually fell to the level of ordinary holy land families. However, because it had once been the ruler of a realm, it was never accepted as a member by other holy land families.

In a distant era, an immortal supreme being of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty finally made a decision: to leave the Zhongtian Great World, where he had thrived for five epochs, and head to the Eastern Pole to find a new home.

In the scene, hundreds of millions of people, young and old, led by that immortal supreme being, traversed a long journey and arrived at a strange Eastern Great World.

Xiao Minghuang stared at the screen, and when she saw the figure of a young man in it, she was slightly startled.

"That's... the Eastern Pole Emperor?"

She was somewhat surprised.

Because in that scene, the boy's appearance was almost identical to that of the Eastern Pole Emperor, but his temperament was completely different.

The Eastern Pole Emperor was as deep and unfathomable as the sea, serene and inactive, while this young man was full of vigor and ambition, with outstanding talent and potential.

Xiao Minghuang could certainly tell that this young man could not possibly be an ancestor or descendant of the Eastern Pole Emperor; he must be the Eastern Pole Emperor himself!

Next, the content presented in the scene seems to take center stage: the Eastern Pole Emperor joins the Ziwei Divine Dynasty, becomes a guard, and is valued by the Supreme Emperor of the Divine Dynasty, who imparts Daoist teachings to him, and there is even a hint that he is to be regarded as the successor.

Later, the Eastern Pole Emperor lived up to expectations, advancing triumphantly and rising steadily until he reached the Saint Realm and became an immortal supreme being.

But at this moment, something unknown happened, and the Eastern Pole Emperor suddenly turned against the Ziwei Divine Dynasty, gathering a group of holy land families that were hostile to the Divine Dynasty, and a holy land war of unprecedented scale broke out.

In this war, the only immortal supreme being of the Divine Dynasty perished, along with countless Saint Realm and King Realm beings. The middle and upper echelons of the Divine Dynasty were almost completely wiped out, thus ushering in the second major decline for the Ziwei Divine Dynasty.

Before Xiao Minghuang and the others could even grieve over the scenes they had just witnessed, the scene before them suddenly split in two, revealing different views.

The newly separated scene is a vast, boundless ocean, where a sage from a divine dynasty seems to have wandered off at some point and settled down to multiply and thrive.

The original footage showed that the Divine Dynasty's National Destiny were declining, and with the fall of its last Saint Realm expert, it was eventually renamed the Great Xia Kingdom.

After this, the Great Xia was forced to relocate from Hundred Sacred States and settle in the Southern Border.

At that moment, the original scene suddenly split into five, revealing different scenes.

"Things have changed... Our common ancestor should be able to be traced back to this era."

Xiao Minghuang murmured.

These six images depict different historical trajectories.

The first image almost entirely depicts solemn and magnificent palaces and temples. Within these grand palaces, in every era, there is a dignified man seated on a dragon throne.

In the second image, the vast majority of the time is spent on a battlefield filled with murderous intent, where a general clad in armor charges into the enemy ranks, fearless in the face of death.

In the third scene, various kinds of demonic beasts roam among the endless mountains, and the fierce battle between humans and demonic beasts fills the scene!

The fourth picture, however, presents a peaceful and serene scene. Amidst the crisscrossing farmland, ordinary farmers work from sunrise to sunset, in a continuous cycle.

The fifth scene shows a mountain range shrouded in mist, with occasional pedestrians and woodcutters passing through it, and now and then one can see cultivators riding swords through the sea of clouds.

As for the sixth image that separated earlier, it was different from the previous ones. The world in the image was full of spiritual energy and beautiful scenery, like a fairyland, making people linger and forget to leave. At a glance, it was clear that it was a sacred place for cultivation.

After a series of rapid changes, all the images gradually faded away, and the surrounding scenery returned to its original state.

After reading this, Xiao Minghuang and the other four remained silent for a long time, deeply moved.

"Fate is truly a wonderful thing..."

Lin Wanqiu sighed.
