Chapter 824: Chapter 152: Pure Land Lineage

——As expected, it’s a spirit root!

Upon hearing this, An Jing understood.

Putting aside how Mou Yunying arrived initially, he clearly possessed the ’Water and Fire’ dual-element spiritual roots, much like the Pure Land people of the Tianyuan Realm, whose spiritual roots are unique, and their talents are remarkable.

However, in Huai Xu, one cannot use spirit roots.

Because in this world, spirit qi and demonic qi are completely merged, and it can only be purified through the Fate Pattern for human use.

Even if a child instinctively activates some phenomena through their spirit root, it would lead to demonic qi invading their body. Fortunately, the Bright Mirror Sect discovered Mou Yunying early; otherwise, he would have long been corrupted into a demon.

And after that, Mou Yunying awakened his Fate Pattern, possessing dual powers of water and fire, but that’s another story.

Mou Yunying being invaded by demonic qi was caused by absorbing spirit qi with his spirit root. Had he not been young with weak phenomena, coupled with the Bright Mirror Sect’s spirit land having a relatively weaker demonic qi presence compared to many remote areas, he would have most likely met his end.

Moreover, An Jing thought of a possibility.

"Fu Xie, what level is Mou Yunying’s spirit root talent?"

"I didn’t pay much attention just now, but now that you mention it..."

Fu Xie thought for a moment, recalled, then exclaimed in surprise: "Hey, upon reflection, this kid actually has water and fire dual-element heavenly spirit roots!"

"Although it’s not as pure as Nian Quan from Tianyuan Realm, having some impurities and lacking the potential of an immortal spirit root, it genuinely is a water and fire heavenly spirit root!"

"As expected."

An Jing understood in his heart—those who can naturally wield divine powers and manipulate water and fire must possess heavenly spirit roots or unique physiques. The Pure Land people themselves can be considered having unique physiques, and with dual-element heavenly spirit roots, Mou Yunying’s talent, if he were to pursue immortal cultivation, would be on par or even surpass Nian Quan!

Cultivating the Fate Pattern Martial Way is somewhat a waste on him.

"So..."

Retracting his thoughts, An Jing expressed his astonishment: "Does Mou Yunying want me to ask Fu Xie where exactly he originates from among the Pure Land people?"

"Huh? Can we ask that?"

Mi Xinghan was stunned, shaking his head: "I guess Old Mou at most intended to ask you, whether you could teach him some Great Void related skills, making it easier for him to search for his roots in the future—but considering we just met, even though you can use some Great Void Divine Powers, teaching it would be cumbersome; feeling he was overly self-indulgent and annoying, he left out of shame and embarrassment."

"Oh."

Upon hearing this, An Jing couldn’t help but laugh inwardly—what embarrassment, he didn’t feel anything, so why did Mou Yunying feel embarrassed?

"This matter is indeed tricky." Thinking it over, An Jing spoke the truth: "The Sword of the Great Void spans endless heavens and countless cave heavens, the Pure Land people are naturally boundless, with numerous origins; finding roots, indeed, is exceedingly difficult. Mou Yunying’s future will be arduous."

"However..."

He was somewhat puzzled: "He must have been abandoned, right? From what I’ve heard, Mou Yunying’s adoptive parents are also good people, so why is he determined to find his biological parents?"

"Mou Yunying is quite filial. He manufactures elixirs that enhance a mortal’s physique, always sending a portion back home, visiting his parents every couple of years, and returning with countless gold and silver."

Zuo Tiannan crossed his arms, nodding in admiration: "I’ve even been asked to run errands, helping him deliver things home... Mou Yunying definitely isn’t seeking his biological parents to find his roots."

"But the exact reason, I don’t know."

"I know a bit about it."

Beside them, Luo Qinghui pondered for a moment, feeling this wasn’t something to keep secret, and then straightforwardly said: "Actually, everyone knows, right? When Old Mou appeared, he had a magic artifact with him, or rather, his swaddling cloth was a magic artifact."

"He once told me that within that swaddling artifact, there was a set of [mysterious data]. Ancestors had calculated it should be some form of [Great Void Star Map], recording the location of a world or cave heaven, along with a message from his biological parents."

"The message stated that if Mou Yunying couldn’t understand the data, it meant he didn’t possess the Great Void Divine Power and wasn’t qualified to know the truth; other people couldn’t help either, because completely decoding it required his personal soul resonance, it was a message locked to him alone."

"His biological parents mentioned that the world they lived in encountered a great calamity—most likely a Heavenly Demon—forcing them to disperse all residents. A world without life wouldn’t attract enemies. So, if he gained enough strength in the future, he could explore when the opportunity arose."

"Oh?"

After hearing this, An Jing had some insight: "Mou Yunying seeks to find his roots or decode that information?"

"An entire world’s legacy, that indeed is enormous."

"Yes."

Luo Qinghui nodded with a smile: "According to the master, the message also contained a unique technique meant for Mou Yunying. However, it likely isn’t suitable for us in Huai Xu,"

Indeed, learning immortal laws leads to Immortal Fall; only this point can be trusted with Huai Xu Heavenly Dao.

An Jing couldn’t help but think of the Ancient Immortal Ruins.

——Considering Mou Yunying’s age... it seems it vaguely matches the time when the Luofu Group discovered and intruded upon the Ancient Immortal Ruins?

Hmm... maybe not quite. Feels like it’s not that late. The Luofu Group started laying out plans several decades ago. Although they did target the Pure Land people in many ways, it wasn’t to the extent of coercing them to send their children away—Pure Land people in the Ancient Immortal Ruins are still there!

But it’s not entirely unrelated to Mou Yunying either.

Pure Land people, as a lineage traversing the Great Void small cave sky, surely have advanced Great Void Divine Powers, possibly retaining some ability to communicate within the void.

Perhaps, through Mou Yunying’s lineage, they could access the Ancient Immortal Ruins from another angle?

Even if not, it’s most likely to be a Taoist Court Cave Heaven comparable or slightly inferior to the Ancient Immortal Ruins!

"Whether from affection or benefit, personally or for the sect, Mou Yunying undoubtedly desires and should learn Great Void Divine Powers."

Understanding these facts, An Jing slightly nodded: "If I knew them, I would definitely teach Mou Yunying; however, I actually don’t. It’s mainly up to Fu Xie—by the way, doesn’t my teacher Mingguang Dust excel at Great Void Divine Powers? The sect should have other people proficient in them, right? Why seek me to learn?"

"Hmm."

Everyone was puzzled: "Does Master Guangchen (Master Uncle Guangchen) know them?"

"Forget I mentioned it."

An Jing patted his head, realizing his mistake—his teacher hid it well, it must be a trump card brought from the Endless Heavens.

It was still Luo Qinghui who carefully explained: "Our Bright Mirror Sect specializes in Great Void Techniques related to creating small cave heavens, quite different from Great Void Shuttle techniques."

"Moreover, An, isn’t Round Silk Peak now shifting its research from Fate Pattern principles to Great Void? Yulun True Lord switched fields precisely to unravel the mysteries surrounding Old Mou."

"Really, sister, you know too much, don’t you?"

Initially understandable, but reaching this point, the others turned to Luo Qinghui collectively, confused: "Old Mou has a tight lip; he wouldn’t divulge such details, would he?"

——Why do you know so much?

"In bed, of course!"

Luo Qinghui stood with hands on her hips, naturally: "At our age, with him being handsome and me beautiful, we like each other; all masters, grandmasters, and ancestors agree, you demons and ghosts shouldn’t gossip."
