possession?”

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

Li Dazhi hurriedly said,

“Such a secret technique is just for the endless propagation of lineage, how could it be possession?”

“This matter is indeed somewhat mystical.”

Xu Sheng stroked his beard in thought and said solemnly,

“To propagate in this manner must be a last resort.

“Upon careful investigation, the spiritual power of Li Mu’s daughter remains, including the memories of Li Mu’s daughter and the over sixteen hundred ancestors of the Li family that followed.

However, these memories overlap and interfere with each other, becoming as chaotic as the primordial beginning.”

“This technique cannot be passed down for more than nine generations; otherwise, the memories of nine lifetimes will become entangled, leaving behind nothing but that clump of spiritual power.”

Mu Cilin sighed, “After my mother died, that clump of spiritual power belonged to me, and since then I have not been able to sleep soundly for a single night.

As soon as I sleep, I dream all sorts of dreams, and when I awake, I feel incredibly fatigued.”

Xu Sheng said, “The number of times it has been passed down is too many.”

“You’re wrong.”

Li Ping’an suddenly spoke up, and everyone turned to look at him.

Li Ping’an closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, “The Fountain of Youth isn’t for propagation, it’s for healing wounds!”

“Healing wounds?” Li Dazhi was a little confused.

Li Ping’an quickly said,

“Suppose a critically wounded Golden Immortal drinks the water, and within ten days gives birth to a new being of the same gender with similar aptitude.

When the Golden Immortal dies, his life force and his memories will enter this new being.

Wouldn’t this memory-free newborn be equivalent to the Golden Immortal living once more?”

A realization dawned on everyone.

Li Ping’an continued,

“The name ‘Fountain of Youth’ already says it all.

If it’s for propagation, the newly born beings would grow up with their own memories, their own independent personalities.

“If the old being’s consciousness cannot take the lead, that’s when you have this confusion of memories.

“So, the water actually has only one use: drink the water, bear a child, the old body perishes willingly, the memories transfer, and one attains a new Dao Body to extend one’s life span.

“I’ve seen passages in ancient texts that the Queen Mother has several kinds of immortality elixirs.

“Perhaps, this Fountain of Youth is one of the Queen Mother’s immortality elixirs!

The Queen Mother gave it to the Human Race for the revival of dying masters!”

Li Dazhi pondered for a moment, “This thing cannot be allowed to circulate, it must be protected.”

“If Mu Cilin agrees, we can bring it back to Elder Xu Sheng, or hand it over to the East Continent alliance.”

Li Ping’an’s thoughts raced as he looked at the halo floating before the Primordial Spirit and said earnestly,

“Father, our Wanyun Sect has many members and loose lips, and you’re just the hall master, which likely won’t be enough to keep it a secret.

“Because of the Castcloud Hall incident, many spies have already infiltrated the outer sect.

“Elder Xu Sheng’s Yuan Sect is relatively secluded and he is also of the Golden Immortal realm, capable of safeguarding this spring.

“Actually, it would be best to hand it over to the East Continent alliance for protection.”

Li Dazhi and Xu Sheng each pondered, clearly both having some designs on the spring.

Li Dazhi said, “The Wanyun Sect is indeed not suitable for safeguarding the Fountain of Youth.

Considering Elder Xu Sheng is an option, otherwise, we’ll just hand it directly over to the East Continent alliance.”

Xu Sheng said, “Handing it over to the East Continent alliance is most prudent, as this place’s Fountain of Youth is a treasure of the Human Race.”

Li Ping’an felt his anxious heart steady somewhat.

He truly feared that the Fountain of Youth would trigger a catastrophe for the Wanyun Sect and thus fulfill the tribulation prophesied for his father.

Mu Cilin smiled, “Could we perhaps wait to move this spring water until after I have passed?

You can deal with it as you wish, Ping’an.”

Li Ping’an stood up, made a courteous bow and asked, “Have you thought of a way to break this cycle of inheritance?

If the memories of generations of Mu ancestors invade Ningning’s mind…”

Mu Cilin pursed her lips and sighed, “The only method I can think of is to sink into the Fountain of Youth.”

“It’s no use, Auntie,” Li Ping’an asked again, “I want to know, how did your mother choose initially?”

Mu Cilin lowered her head and remained silent.

“So it is.”

Li Ping’an’s eyes filled with resignation as he continued,

“You must have tried to stop this long ago, but every generation failed, didn’t they?

“After the previous generation passed away, this spiritual power would seek out the next generation, then affect the next, compelling them to return here and drink from the spring.

“The spiritual power within you, after one thousand six hundred cycles of inheritance, has become indivisible from this spring.

“The Mu family has essentially become the puppet of the Fountain of Youth, because of incorrect usage, the Fountain of Youth has become a curse upon the Mu family, and this curse is about to consume Ningning.”

“Ping’an!”

Li Dazhi said sternly, “Apologize!”

“Sorry Auntie, my words were harsh, please forgive me.”

Li Ping’an bowed respectfully, then frowned as he walked over to the Fountain of Youth and sat down cross-legged by its edge.

“Elder Xu, please set up a barrier for me.

I have some insights and need to retreat here for a few days.

“I can’t stand by and watch Ningning repeat the same mistakes; there must be a solution to this problem.

“If the Fountain of Youth is to be handed over to the East Continent alliance, please ask Elder Xu Sheng to make a trip to the Tianli domain, meet the Tianli Elder, and invite him here.”

With that said, Li Ping’an closed his eyes and concentrated.

A purple Treasure Bead appeared beside him, orbiting continuously.

Xu Sheng watched the bead closely, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

The veteran Elder said, “Let’s go outside to discuss how to inform the East Continent alliance.

Little Mu, Little Lin, there’s no need to worry.

Ping’an has a nickname: the Enlightenment Stone of East Continent.

Others might not be of help, but Ping’an potentially can.”

Mu Cilin and Lin Fei exchanged glances, looked at Li Ping’an’s serene figure sitting quietly beside the Fountain of Youth, and could only sigh and nod in agreement.

Li Dazhi thought for a moment and asked Xinhuai Wang to invite Qing Su and Xiaoyue to come down.

A moment later.

Qing Su stood at the entrance of the underground hall, quietly watching Li Ping’an’s figure.
