Beside the stream, the deep and boundless aura around Yun Ying had vanished, returning to a tranquil state.
It was as though she had not been the one to unleash that peerless sword strike.
"Who... exactly are you?" Yun Ying murmured, curiosity lingering in her heart.
Who could have occupied Wu Shang's body? Even a titan might not be capable of such a thing. It was very likely a being above Immortal Kings.
An Emperor!
That word echoed in Yun Ying's heart, stirring a little joy. So such beings truly existed in this world.
She no longer needed to speculate or search. Emperors had always existed; they simply appeared before the world's eyes very rarely.
Just like this time, that mysterious Emperor had not descended directly, but had instead used an Undying King's body.
Only a sliver of will had descended, yet it was already so powerful. One could imagine how terrifying a being above Immortal Kings would be once it appeared in person.
"The Great Dao knows no bounds. The burden is heavy, and the road is long."
Yun Ying's gaze deepened. She suppressed her thoughts and pondered it no further.
"Mother, you really are amazing!"
Little Purple came forward and cried excitedly. After witnessing that sword strike, her understanding of the Sword God Dao had deepened considerably.
Although she felt her comprehension of the Sword God Dao was progressing smoothly, she was still far behind her mother.
"Sooner or later, you'll be able to do it too."
Yun Ying smiled gently.
"Yes! I definitely won't disappoint you, Mother."
Little Purple nodded firmly. She was comprehending her own Great Dao, but first, she needed to cultivate the Sword God Dao to a certain level.
This was her ambition: to integrate the Sword God Dao into her own Great Dao.
