Chapter 410: Chapter 060 The First Generation Emperor Qi Sword Body

"Don’t worry about anything, the Evil King has truly left this place, gone to the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sword Tomb, and will no longer monitor this place. And I, in fact, have also escaped his suppression... If there’s anything, just say it."

Ni Chang Fairy suddenly said.

"Ah—"

Ling He was startled, a look of disbelief in her eyes.

However, she quickly calmed down, sighed deeply, and said, "Lord, Ling He has no more ideas now; perhaps, becoming powerful is actually the foundation, the rest, after comprehending the Xuan Restriction, Ling He’s thoughts have also faded."

Ling He bowed her head and spoke softly.

Her tone gradually became calm.

Ni Chang Fairy nodded and said, "Zhou Family’s first ancestor, Zhou Xie, refined Ji Family’s ancestor, Ji Xie, into a Ding Furnace, transforming into a Void Body, combining the two into one, achieving the first Evil King.

The Evil King designed a suppression of the first generation Emperor Qi Sword Body, at that time, the Emperor Qi Sword Body was actually Hou Yi’s second life, the first generation Emperor Qi Sword Body... his name was ’Lee Jidao.’

And the second life of Chang’e is me, Ni Chang, the Ni Chang Fairy, that is.

As for the life of Hou Yi and Chang’e, which is also the previous life of me and the first generation Emperor Qi Sword Body, you do not know and do not need to know, that is the first life in myth and legend."

Ni Chang spoke in a low voice, revealing a mysterious message.

Ling He seemed to understand yet not understand; she felt something monumental was about to happen.

"Your Ling He Immortal Body is actually an ancient composite constitution, a combination of Emperor Qi Sword Body and Enlightenment Sword Body, but some mutation occurred, and it is not comprehensive, it’s still unknown what change it might undergo. You should further comprehend the Xuan Restriction, striving to understand its essence and origin. Only then will you qualify to stand at the peak of geniuses. Right now, even with the comprehension of the Xuan Restriction, you are still very weak."

Ni Chang Fairy sighed as she spoke.

As she spoke, her arms, her eyes, all grew naturally, and at this moment, she was breathtakingly beautiful.

"Lord..."

Ling He’s heart warmed suddenly, and suddenly, she felt an incredibly familiar sensation from the Lord with a complete appearance; her face was... strikingly familiar.

She was shocked in her heart, and then immediately thought that this face and her own face... were intriguingly similar!

Realizing this, her breathing suddenly became rapid, she vaguely felt a monumental secret about to be revealed.

"Ling He, Lingling, now, I tell you, you are not an abandoned baby, your mother is me, Wan Nishang."

"Ah—"

Ling He exclaimed.

Ni Chang Fairy did not mind, chuckled bitterly, and continued, "Your father is the first generation Emperor Qi Sword Body, Lee Jidao. He did not die as everyone imagined; he is still alive."

"Ah—this..."

Ling He was completely overwhelmed in an instant, her heart pounding violently, utterly at a loss.

This was like a bolt from the blue, shattering all her beliefs.

"Therefore, your surname is Lee, named Lee Linghe. And your father, although he is alive, has lived another life, and moreover, he is living in the Great Zhou family... and should have awakened."

"Indeed... Ni Chang, these years, you have suffered."

Suddenly, the void trembled, and a man in white suddenly flew up from the Void Channel. At the same time, the channels of Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm and Ten Thousand Ghosts Sword Tomb emitted an intense light.

"Brother Extreme, I am sorry."

Hearing this voice, Ni Chang Fairy’s body trembled.

At the same time, the young man in white suddenly appeared beside her, reached out his hand, and a terrifying energy immediately invaded Ni Chang Fairy’s body.

Instantly, his expression turned exceedingly grim.

"You... you are so foolish... you..."

The young man in white’s face instantly turned very complex, and after a long time, tears flowed from his eyes.

"Father... Mother..."

Ling He stood rooted to the ground, murmuring, completely stupefied.

The young man in white shuddered, but he did not turn to look at Ling He; instead, he trembled, stroked Ni Chang Fairy’s face, and said, "It’s my incompetence; all these years, I lost myself in the Great Zhou family, almost failing to awaken."

"I know you are alive, and that’s enough. Brother Extreme, I really did not betray you, stealing the Divine Medicine back then was only to make you stronger—"

"Don’t say anymore, I know everything, I have never doubted you. I was so cold and heartless, actually just like the current Saintess towards Zhou Yan, just because at that time... I thought I was surely destined to die."

The young man in white’s voice was mournful, painful.

He possessed a powerful vitality and strength, but now, he seemed exceedingly desolate and fragile.

"Saintess... Saintess... The experience of this generation’s Emperor Qi Sword Body is also so tragic. Such a curse-like fate, who can escape it? Is this the destiny of descendants with our Earth’s Pangu Bloodline?"

Ni Chang Fairy murmured, tears of blood in her eyes.

The young man in white shuddered, then sighed deeply, his voice exceedingly desolate, "The life I have lived out this time is that of Zhou Yan’s cousin, but I have always been against him. My sister, Ling Yi, however, is also a descendent of the Emperor Qi Sword Body lineage."

No matter how we live in the next life, the result is the same: we’re trapping ourselves, unable to escape the shackles of fate.

Fortunately, Ling Yi slew the will of Hou Ling’er and gained a self in this life, finally freeing herself from the fated shackles.

The young man in white sighed.

"Alas... This Sword Burial Ancestor Star may seem simple, but it’s like a cage, where endless geniuses and strong beings have fallen. I think this might be part of the grand scheme of the Nine Origin Sword God... But actually, it has nothing to do with me. Now, all I want to do is to kill the Evil King; otherwise, none of us, our lineage, will have a way to survive."

Ni Chang Fairy murmured to herself.

"This matter is beyond our control, and we are powerless... Moreover, Brother Lee Ran had an agreement with the Nine Origin Sword God in the past. We couldn’t have interfered no matter what. I owe too much to Brother Lee Ran. If not for him, my daughter would have ceased to exist long ago, and I wouldn’t have been able to live as Zhou Lingyao in this life. So, let this be my repayment to Zhou Yan, after all, everything Brother Lee Ran did was for Zhou Yan."

The young man in white sighed.

"That’s right... Forget it; let’s not talk about these things anymore. I originally thought that only the Saintess and I would fight this battle, but unexpectedly, you came too. Brother Extreme, let’s fight together."

"Indeed, that’s what I think. We live together, we die together, we have loved each other for three lifetimes, without regret."

The young man in white spoke affectionately.

Speaking thus, he turned around to look at Ling He, his gaze full of tender love.

At that moment, Ling He was also looking at this young man in white, whom she recognized. He was an insignificant character from the Great Zhou Family, named Zhou Lingyao, Zhou Lingyi’s brother.

After Zhou Lingyi awakened, she transformed into Hou Ling’er, the Young Master of the Qiankun Lineage, while this youth had been in arduous cultivation at the Sealing Mountain of the Great Zhou Family and had never come out before.

Now, he had suddenly appeared, still looking so young, still seemingly insignificant.

But his eyes, like the void of the universe, had become mature, no longer naïve, but rather unfathomable.

"Father... Mother."

Overwhelmed, Ling He was ultimately melted by such a tender gaze.

Her delicate body trembled, and suddenly, she could no longer hold back the tears streaming down like a fountain.

Zhou Lingyao’s gaze was complex, his expression a mix of pain, age-worn, and heaviness, yet covered by a thick sense of loving kindness.

He hugged Ling He and also embraced Ni Chang, too overwhelmed to speak for a long while.

"Ling He... Father is sorry."

After a long time, he spoke, uttering words heavy with emotion.

"No, Father, it’s Ling He who is incompetent, unable to comprehend the Origin, unable to become a Saint, to share your burdens."

Ling He cried.

"Silly girl."

Zhou Lingyao showed a bitter smile, his eyes somewhat sorrowful and hazy.

After a while, he suddenly tapped his forehead, sending a golden bow and arrow shining silhouette flying from his brow into Ling He’s, whispering,

"My girl, this is Father King’s life-bound Divine Artifact, the Shaking Heaven Bow, the Sun-shooting Arrow, but it’s incomplete. It’s useless in Father King’s hands.

Having lived three lifetimes, there’s a chance to awaken, which would be our last life. This time, Father and Mother know we have no way back.

Later, follow the Saintess into the Tao of the Yaochi Saintess, cultivate well and live well. If possible, restore the Shaking Heaven Bow and Sun-shooting Arrow. By then, Father and Mother will also be proud and honored for you."

"Father..."

When he displayed the Shaking Heaven Bow and Sun-shooting Arrow, Zhou Lingyao’s hair suddenly turned white as snow.

His youthfully naïve face also quickly covered with the wrinkles of time. However, he did not appear weakened but seemed even stronger.

"Brother Extreme..."

Ni Chang’s face turned pale, and she gasped.

"Ni Chang, I’m fine. Our daughter will one day shock the ageless, on par with the ancient talents of the Original Dao! That lecherous little rascal Zhou Yan won’t be able to bully my daughter anymore!"

It seemed he remembered the past, and a reassuring smile appeared in Zhou Lingyao’s eyes.

Ling He and Ni Chang just stared at Zhou Lingyao, both somewhat dazed.

"Alright, our family has reunited at this moment, but time is short, the Saintess is still waiting, and this plan must not fail."

After a long time, Zhou Lingyao abruptly smiled, his melancholy and sad demeanor fading, turning imposing, dignified, and confident.

"The Saintess has arrived."

Ni Chang exhaled softly, her tone melancholic and wistful.

"Yes, Saintess, sorry to have kept you waiting."

Zhou Lingyao nodded and then walked forward, lightly patting the air, opening a Void Gate in the Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm.

Within the void, Saintess Jiang Yuning arrived with a greenish, ice-cold beautiful woman. Both of their expressions were very calm, showing neither joy nor sorrow.
