Azure Immortal Abode, a waterside pavilion.
The faint anger of the Spirit Transformation naturally caused a tremor in his Divine Ability, with profound sounds echoing throughout the hall. Heavy rain gradually began to fall from the sky, but disappeared as soon as it hit the ground, as if it had never appeared at all.
Chen Shuangbai felt a slight fear as he sensed this Divine Ability that was enough to shake him.
Hearing a Profound Lord in the mid-to-late stage of the Spirit Transformation vent his anger in such a low voice, he felt even more oppressed.
As if sensing its master's emotions, the jade dragon gradually showed signs of anger, scattering pieces of jade light that fell to the ground and transformed into flower stamens swirling with jade light, which quickly disappeared.
Profound Lord Qingfang was, after all, a man who had endured until now, even as the ancestral court was destroyed. After a brief outburst of anger, his emotions quickly calmed down, and he withdrew all the Divine Ability and phenomena around him.
His gaze was deep and unfathomable as he looked at Chen Shuangbai, saying in an enigmatic tone, " Xuhong... thank you for enlightening me, Wei."
" My Profound Lord, what are you saying...?"
Chen Shuangbai was also filled with lingering fear. Thinking of the Xuan Eye hanging above Pillow Stream Mountain, and the countless silk ribbons that descended like sharp swords overhead, he carefully chose his words and asked, "Does this mean that Profound Lord already knows who is behind this Xuan Eye?"
Profound Lord Qingfang pursed his lips, remained silent for a moment, and said, " Mahayana Celestial Person is just one step away from ascending to immortality. Upon hearing your name, they will naturally feel a response."
"I cannot tell you your specific name, but I can tell you that you are a Celestial Person from the Central Profound Palace."
Central Profound Palace, being the head of the Four Palaces, naturally has the support of Mahayana Celestial Person.
Chen Shuangbai was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "This family... has a grudge against the ancestral court?"
"Um."
Profound Lord Qingfang's eyes deepened, and he said in a deep voice, "It's not just this one; we can confirm that there are more than a dozen others, including Clear Ya Mountain, the Great Chu Dynasty, the Crimson Refinement Sect, the Kunwu Sect, and the Flying Snow Sword Sect."
Chen Shuangbai was slightly taken aback, even somewhat incredulous.
A dozen or so...
Doesn't that mean enemies are everywhere?
Profound Lord Qingfang shook his head and explained, "When the ancestral court fell, many of these sects took advantage of the situation and looted the place. However, five of them truly have a blood feud with my Heavenly River Dao Lineage."
" Xuhong, you'll remember this!"
Chen Shuangbai's gaze narrowed slightly as the Nascent Spirit Transformation Profound Lord him, a descendant of the Heavenly River Dao Lineage, spoke in a deep voice:
" The Great Chu Dynasty, the Daique Sword Sect, the Central Profound Palace, the Wuwang Demonic Dao, and the Kunwu Sect."
A dark cloud gradually settled over Chen Shuangbai's heart.
These five forces, each with a long history and many outstanding disciples, are renowned throughout the Eastern Radiance region.
"Then I wonder what grudge these families have against the ancestral court?" Chen Shuangbai pondered for a moment before asking again.
Mentioning these families, Profound Lord Qingfang's eyes darkened further, and he simply said:
"The vast territory of the Great Chu Dynasty today is built upon the foundation laid by its ancestral court."
" The Daique Sword Sect and the Central Profound Palace, whose relationship was once one of great gratitude, have now become bitter enemies. They have joined forces to seize the direct lineage of my sect."
"As for the Wuwang Demonic Dao and the Kunwu Sect... heh, they rose to power by stepping on the successors of my sect's Divine Ability abilities."
Hatred resurfaced in Profound Lord Qingfang's eyes, and his words were full of belittling intent, revealing his resentment. The jade dragon on his shoulder also roared softly, its eyes filled with grief and indignation.
Chen Shuangbai remained silent, realizing just how devastating the calamity that had befallen the ancestral court in the past had been.
He abruptly turned his head, looked at Chen Shuangbai, and said in a voice like the howl of a demon crawling out of the underworld, "In the past, when the ancestral court was torn apart and perished from the inside out, these five lineages were truly responsible for it."
"But besides that, there was actually another one... It was only many years later that I gradually began to have doubts, but I had no concrete evidence."
"Who?"
Chen Shuangbai felt a chill run down her spine and asked in a trembling voice.
Profound Lord Qingfang did not speak directly, but slowly raised his hand and suddenly pointed to a certain direction outside the waterside pavilion.
Chen Shuangbai slowly looked over--
The direction of Central Region?!
Chen Shuangbai's heart skipped a beat.
If we're talking about the most prosperous place in the Eastern Radiance Continent today, with the most geniuses, and that can be called a holy land, then it's only Taixuan Temple.
This temple is located in the central pillar of Longshan Mountain in the Central Region. It has very few disciples, but each one is a genius. They just rarely appear in the world, but every time they do, they cause a major event that can stir up the winds and clouds.
This lineage operates in a very mysterious manner, hiding in their Grotto-Heaven and rarely venturing into the world.
The practitioners in that temple travel to various realms, and the things they do are earth-shattering.
Among the two emperors Three King Cities the One Lineage, the fact that this lineage can suppress the two emperors and Three King Cities already says everything.
This lineage is also known as Taixuan Temple.
Chen Shuangbai opened her mouth, wanting to utter the words "Taixuan," but saw Profound Lord Qingfang slowly shake his head. The flames of hatred in his eyes, like dark fire, were hidden beneath and slowly burning.
"This place dwells high in Grotto-Heaven, possessing many wondrous mysteries, which cannot be spoken of, cannot be described..."
Chen Shuangbai had become somewhat numb, but after the numbness, anger gradually began to grow from the bottom of her heart.
And it was at this moment.
Gradually, mysterious pure white light emerged from outside, faintly revealing the shapes of swords and weapons. The sounds of various weapons clashing rang out like thunder, drowning out all the voices of the two people.
This is a warning!
It was the Celestial Person of White Emperor City warning the two to stop discussing it!
A long silence fell over the waterside pavilion.
Chen Shuangbai dared not let her anger show. The chill on her back lasted for a long time before it slowly subsided, but the chill in her heart was mixed with the anger, entangled and inextricably intertwined.
The ancestral temple has been destroyed for nearly four thousand years...
It is said that time can wash everything away, but more than four thousand years have passed, and those behind-the-scenes manipulators are still eyeing the remnants of the Heavenly River at Pillow Stream Mountain. This shows that the scale and depth of the destruction of the Heavenly River Ancestral Court far exceeded Chen Shuangbai's initial imagination.
This is why even now, those high and mighty Celestial Person still dare not relax their guard over these remnants of the Heavenly River!
"So ruthless..."
Chen Shuangbai murmured.
Profound Lord Qingfang took a deep breath, the hatred in his eyes gradually subsided, and he regained his calm and composed demeanor.
He had endured this long, displaying extraordinary composure, and quickly recovered, instructing, "After today, pretend you never heard of what happened here."
"I originally thought the lineage of Vast Source was extinct, but now you have appeared... We must not let you perish."
This Spirit Transformation Profound Lord joined the Heavenly River Dao Lineage [ Encompassing Jade ] in his childhood, witnessing the glory of this lineage, as well as its demise.
He was filled with hatred, but also with fear. Now, all he wanted was to protect his disciples like Chen Shuangbai and save their lives.
but...
After he recovered, he also took advantage of the location to block the gaze of that mysterious eye, and fortunately managed to find out all the relevant details.
"Speaking of which, you haven't told me your true origins yet."
Now that the matter of the Mystic Eye has been discussed, both sides are certain that the other can be trusted, so Chen Shuangbai also explained his background.
"So you came from the other side of the Sea of Ten Thousand Spirits..."
Upon hearing about the matter of the Celebrated Splendor Continent, Profound Lord Qingfang was quite surprised and said, "There have been rumors that there seems to be another continent beyond the Sea of Ten Thousand Spirits, but it is blocked by a forbidden land, and there is never any way to get out."
"Unexpectedly... unexpectedly... when the ancestral court was destroyed back then, there was still a lineage that crossed that perilous place and preserved the lineage of Vast Source!"
"May the patriarch protect us! May the patriarch protect us!"
As Profound Lord Qingfang spoke, his voice choked with emotion, but he couldn't easily shed tears in front of his juniors, so he covered his face with his sleeve and lowered his head.
