Chapter 44: Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman – Ye Qingcheng!

The two figures appeared in front of the statues.

Liu Ruyan, hands behind her back, gazed calmly.

“They were towering heroes, and they are your ancestors…”

Hearing this, Ling Feng’s body trembled, eyes filled with disbelief.

My… ancestors?

Then Liu Shen continued:

“Each of them faced immense trials, ultimately becoming strong in this world. But do you know why they are here?”

Before Ling Feng could reply, Liu Ruyan added, “Because of you!”

“You are their hope!”

“You carry the hope of your clan… and even the living beings of this world…”

Liu Ruyan’s figure gradually became ethereal and vanished.

“The seal on the Archaic Sacred Body isn’t something you must rely on others to break…”

“A true strong person, when they see a mountain, they don’t blame or resent it for being in their way, but climb over it!”

Silence fell.

Ling Feng stood motionless before the statues.

Mountain… Is Lin Ao Tian the mountain blocking my path?

Liu Shen tells me not to hate him, but… how can I do that?

Suddenly, the elder’s voice came from the ring.

“Huh?”

“Kid, why are we back in the Northern Region?”

“Gasp… why are you still so unhappy, go see that little girl; didn’t you say she made you feel the most comfortable?”

At this moment.

In the ancestral hall, Liu Ruyan seemed to be deep in thought and eventually made a decision.

“Maybe I should go see him…”

Night.

The sky was full of stars.

Shi Village was brightly lit as the villagers, tired from a day’s work, returned home for a peaceful dinner.

Among them, there was a dilapidated wooden house, enveloped in darkness.

Inside.

A three-year-old girl in coarse clothes, with eyes as white as snow, filled with chaos.

Suddenly.

A supreme force turned into multicolored chaotic light, enveloping her small body.

In the next second.

Her body began to grow rapidly…

In just a moment, she grew to the size of an adult woman.

As the chaotic light dissipated, an indescribably beautiful woman appeared in the dark wooden house.

Her aura wasn’t something a mortal should possess, a beauty so surreal, it seemed she belonged to the celestial realm.

She had long black hair naturally falling over her chest and back, wearing a snow-white long dress, her body cloaked in chaotic mist.

Her slender figure was motionless.

In her hand was a mask, half-crying, half-smiling, continually transforming into a ring, a celestial sword, and a Dao treasure vase.

Then, the clarity of her eyes returned, slowly becoming mournful as memories surged back.

Her identity, if revealed, would shake the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman – Ye Qingcheng!

She was a truly supreme being!

A legendary emperor with unparalleled talent, unrivaled throughout history!

The fiercest person in ancient and contemporary times, Ye Qingcheng, also known as Empress Qingcheng!

Empress Qingcheng held dominance over ancient and contemporary times, contending with the heavens, the earth, and herself. Though not innately gifted, she relied on her own power, slaying all kings, standing alone in the Nine Heavens. Even gods couldn’t block her path, achieving the pinnacle with a mortal-like physique, becoming one of the most powerful figures ever.

How many in history dared to call themselves Emperors!

She was one of them, Empress Qingcheng’s fame spread worldwide!

She fought against the heavens for her entire life, shockingly talented, capable of slaying gods beyond the Nine Heavens, standing atop the Nine Heavens.

Making the gods tremble, yet not seeking immortality, only wanting to accompany her brother until the end of time.

However, her brother, who stood above her, chose reincarnation!

Countless years passed, her longing became unbearable.

Thus, using the power of her fifth law body, she traversed the river of time, reversing the universe’s order, to enter the era where her brother lived.

Yes, she longed to see him!

Almost breaking through the river of time, just because she missed him.

But she hadn’t anticipated the immense impact her actions would have due to her cultivation level, causing her memory to temporarily be lost, her body transforming into that of a little girl.

But today, her memories finally returned!

It was because she sensed her brother’s presence, very close!

Suddenly remembering a person who felt a lot like her brother, taking care of her recently, she realized it could very well be him!

“Brother…”

Her melodious voice echoed in the silence.

She then put on the ghost-face mask, revealing only her chin and a pair of clear, autumn-water-like pupils, with a slight smile on her lips.

She wanted to surprise him.

Believing her brother would be happy to see her with the mask.

Because the ghost-face mask was their only childhood toy, no fancy jewelry, only a mask her brother made using bronze sheets to cheer her up, though rough, was treasured by the little girl.

The next moment.

Her figure stepped out of the wooden house, wearing the ghost-face mask, mischievous, reminding herself.

Now that brother is in reincarnation, I mustn’t wake him.

Otherwise, it would be disastrous!

Brother would be angry!

Her transformation went unnoticed by anyone, even Liu Ruyan, due to being on a different level.

At the same time.

A figure in green appeared.

Ling Feng seemed reborn, a faint smile on his face.

Standing in front of the statue, recalling Liu Shen’s words.

He understood!

No matter the trials and tribulations, he should face them head-on, ultimately achieving the Dao!

However, towards Lin Ao Tian, he couldn’t let go!

On the contrary, that hatred, buried deep inside, had become his inner demon.

Only by defeating Lin Ao Tian, reclaiming everything, could he truly be reborn!

He planned to visit that little girl he once met in the city.

Back then, she asked everyone, “Have you seen my brother?”

Wearing dirty clothes, shoes with holes showing her toes, begging alone in the crowded city, with tear-filled eyes, she looked guilty as if she had done something wrong.

Ling Feng happened upon her, and she said, “You look like my brother…”

Initially, Ling Feng found her pitiable, intending to find her a good home. But his master said the little girl was extraordinary.

He couldn’t see through her!

Moreover, staying by her side enhanced Ling Feng’s state of mind, making it easier to comprehend the Dao.

Later, Ling Feng brought her to Shi Village, leaving her in the care of the village elders.

If not for the perilous Hundred Dynasties War in the Northern Region, he would have kept her by his side.

Soon.

Ling Feng could see the wooden house.

Outside the wooden house, an ethereal woman stood at the door, wearing a ghost-face mask, looking at him curiously.
