Chapter 308: Chapter 213: The Radiant Demon Sword

"He is your father?"

Zhou Yuan was greatly shocked. Ye Youxian actually had a daughter?

Ye Wushuang did not dwell on the question. Instead, she asked, "I sensed that the seal on Lingxu Dongtian has been lifted. Has the spirit realm already awakened?"

"Of course, otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to enter."

"How many years have passed since the Qin Dynasty?" Ye Wushuang asked.

Zhou Yuan calculated, "About two thousand three or four hundred years."

"Over two thousand years..." Ye Wushuang sighed softly, showing a hint of melancholy.

Two thousand years had passed since then, the seas turned into mulberry fields, and all the glories and clouds scattered. The mythical era in which she lived had completely vanished, and everything was long gone.

"Since you are from the Qin Dynasty, have you ever seen Emperor Qin Shi Huang?" Zhou Yuan curiously asked.

"Never met him." Ye Wushuang shook her head.

"In that era, the spiritual energy was drying up, and the transcendent era was about to end. All the cultivators were searching for ways to prolong their lives, which led to a great turmoil. I was severely injured in one of the battles and have been lying in the coffin of life and death ever since, with little knowledge of the outside world.

If I hadn’t had some enlightenment between life and death, I probably would have turned to dust long ago and wouldn’t have survived to this day."

Though she said this, Ye Wushuang’s current status wasn’t very good either. She was still in a strange state of being half alive and half dead and hadn’t truly taken that step.

Ye Wushuang reached out, and the coffin of life and death flew toward her and was stored in her Storage Ring. Then she looked at Zhou Yuan, "Do you have a vehicle? I can’t easily use my magic power now."

"Yes." Zhou Yuan took out the Paru Ball and released the male fire dragon.

"What a strange dragon." Ye Wushuang inspected the male fire dragon.

"This is a Western dragon, different from the Eastern ones... By the way, where are you headed?"

Ye Wushuang took out a large map and spread it on the ground. She obviously preferred not to use her magic power unless necessary, as she didn’t even bother to make the map float.

"This is the map of Lingxu Dongtian. I need to go here; please take me there."

Ye Wushuang pointed to an area in the center of the map, marked with exquisite palatial buildings.

Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows, "May I ask, fairy, what is the scale of this map, and where are we now?"

Ye Wushuang pondered for a moment, "I’m not sure about the scale, but the village we were in should be here... Yes, the Purple Sun Sect was right here back then, no mistake."

She pointed to a corner on the right side of the map, which was a very remote area.

"How did you end up in such a far-off place?" Zhou Yuan was puzzled.

"Lingxu Dongtian is actually a miniature real world where geological changes occur as well. I buried myself in a special terrain back then, using the yin-yang forces there to sustain my vitality. Later, there must have been a major earthquake that dislodged the coffin of life and death, and through various coincidences, the villagers accidentally found it. When they discovered it could revive the dead, they began to worship me."

Ye Wushuang explained. In her sleep, she could faintly sense what was happening around her.

"By the way, regarding the Purple Sun Sect, I just experienced something strange..." Zhou Yuan recounted what he had experienced, hoping to hear Ye Wushuang’s thoughts.

After hearing it, Ye Wushuang frowned, "I vaguely heard about the demise of the Purple Sun Sect during my slumber. That happened a hundred years ago... No, with the transcendence receding, the Cave Heaven Blessed Land would also be affected. Although the vitality within the world wouldn’t be cut off, it would be impossible for anyone to embark on the path of cultivation. How could the Purple Sun Sect have lasted until a hundred years ago..."

She realized something, her expression turning serious, "Let me see that broken book and the golden bamboo slip."

Zhou Yuan handed both items to her, and after flipping through the broken book, Ye Wushuang’s face showed obvious shock and disbelief.

"This is a novel I read back then, no doubt about it. This is the book. But why have all the characters and sects in it changed?

And this golden bamboo slip is a legacy I left behind. Why did it appear in an illusion?"

Even the knowledgeable Ye Wushuang was deeply confused at this moment.

"I’ll have experts analyze it later." Zhou Yuan said.

·

The two boarded the male fire dragon and flew swiftly towards Zhongzhou.

Along the way, Ye Wushuang carefully examined the broken book and the golden bamboo slip, trying to glean something from them.

Zhou Yuan, using his Opple smartphone, established contact with the Control Bureau and obtained much important information about the Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

Firstly, shortly after entering the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, the Control Bureau’s instruments detected a large number of reality distortion events. The initial judgment was that these were large-scale abnormal phenomena triggered by the resurgence of the supernatural, and one of these events was precisely near the Purple Sun Sect where Zhou Yuan had been.

At the same time, Zhou Yuan searched the Cave Heaven Blessed Land database and found relevant information about the Purple Sun Sect.

The true cause of the Purple Sun Sect’s destruction was not because the senior brother went on a killing spree, but because it was destroyed in a great war among various cultivators competing for resources.

In other words, what the villagers said was not true, but rather influenced by abnormal forces.

This solved the case!

"Reality distortion?"

After listening to Zhou Yuan’s explanation, Ye Wushuang pondered for a long time, "Indeed, many strange things happened in the past, and every time something unprecedented would appear.

For example, a mirage would suddenly appear in the sky, showing steel buildings and vehicles never seen before.

Some cultivators ventured into it and obtained a device, not a magical artifact but powerful enough to surpass some low-level magical artifacts. Simply pulling the trigger would cause great damage.

Another cultivator accidentally found a strange metal, forged it into a divine artifact, and it could cut through iron like mud. At night, it would emit a faint green glow.

That sword was called the Demon Sword because every owner met a bad end, repeatedly contracting terminal illnesses. Even close friends and subordinates couldn’t escape the curse.

Later, a cultivator who often studied eccentric ways said it had lethal radiation and had a lead box made to sink it undersea, sealing the Demon Sword."

"Uh... that’s reality distortion, possibly causing temporal dislocation and projecting the future world into the past. I never expected your ancient cultivation world to be so lively."

"Transcendence has existed since ancient times, so have abnormalities, but there weren’t many abnormal events in ancient times, only a few."

Having figured out the truth, Ye Wushuang returned the items to Zhou Yuan, who had fortuitously come into possession of them.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

At this moment, the Opple smartphone vibrated, showing a red alert. It was a general distress signal from the Control Bureau.

"What’s wrong?" Ye Wushuang asked.

"Someone nearby is calling for help." Zhou Yuan opened the map and found the signal location, less than five kilometers away.

"Let’s go take a look." Ye Wushuang was not in a hurry and was also interested in seeing this inheritor’s strength.
