My father? Ye Si blinked her eyes, and started to recall her parents.
It was a mory from a long, long ti ago. A lot of ti had passed, and she didn’t even rember what her father and mother looked like at this point. In addition, Ye Si had ‘died’ once, and although Cheng Lin brought her back to life with a secret technique, her mory was greatly affected.
As if that wasn’t enough, her father was a cultivator with ordinary strength. By now, so much ti had passed that not even his bones remained.
After thinking up to this point, Ye Si started to get sentintal.
Since she got all sentintal, the ❮To of Never-Ending Tears❯ was activated, and her tears started to fall uncontrollably.
Once the ❮To of Never-Ending Tears❯ was activated, tears wouldn’t stop easily.
Tears stread down Ye Si’s face, and even if she was continuously wiping them away with her small hands, they just weren’t stopping. She looked very charming and delicate right now.
“???” The Great Northern Emperor was confused.
Heavens! What is happening? Why has this girl suddenly started crying? And why does she look this sad? Did I ask sothing I shouldn’t have?
“Master, I feel you shouldn’t inquire any further. I just can’t keep watching,” the green sea turtle said.
“...” The Great Northern Emperor.
What indiscreet question did I ask?
“I’m sorry, it’s just that I felt sowhat sad. Sob, sob, sob... Senior, you don’t need to worry. I’ll be fine after crying for a while. Sob, sob, sob...” Ye Si waved at the Great Northern Emperor. Then, she covered her face and drilled back into Song Shuhang’s body, disappearing without a trace.
“...” The Great Northern Emperor.
In the end, what indiscreet question did I ask?!
Sure enough, whether it is Cheng Lin or her daughter, their train of thought travels on a different rail from mine, and we simply can’t have a normal exchange.
“Forget it. Let’s put this matter aside for the mont.” The Great Northern Emperor sighed. Then, he said, “Little friend, give back the Palace of Winter for now.”
“Senior, wait a mont,” Song Shuhang said.
He was soone that would leave to the police even the pennies he had found by the roadside, let alone the caravan of the world of cultivators!
However, his heart was sowhat in pain. If his bamboo leaf hadn’t activated the formation, the Great Northern Emperor wouldn’t have co back to life, and he would have kept the Palace of Winter.
A few seconds later.
Ye Si reappeared again with tears streaming down her face. This ti, she directly appeared beside Song Shuhang, holding a scale model of the Palace of Winter in her hand.
“Sob, sob, sob~ Senior, this is your Palace of Winter. Sob, sob, sob~ I’ll now return it to you.” Ye Si returned the Palace of Winter.
The Great Northern Emperor took the Palace of Winter and looked at Ye Si, who seed especially sad, and felt sowhat uncomfortable.
“Master, I can watch no longer. Bullying the younger generation is a bad habit, and you should definitely correct it,” the green sea turtle said righteously.
The corner of the eye of the Great Northern Emperor twitched. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the tail of the green sea turtle, spinning it around and throwing it far into the distance. “Stupid turtle, get lost!”
“Boom~” The green sea turtle slamd into an ice mountain far away, smashing it to pieces. It looked to be in great pain.
The Great Northern Emperor stretched out his hand and quickly passed it over the Palace of Winter.
Sure enough, the valuable dicinal materials he had left in the Palace of Winter had disappeared. The only thing inside right now was so dicinal materials that had been collected not too long ago.
The Great Northern Emperor sighed, and looked at Song Shuhang.
After a short mont, he suddenly asked, “Little friend, do you like the Palace of Winter?”
“Yes, I like it quite a bit,” Song Shuhang replied. His Inner World just happened to lack a Palace of Winter.
“Since you like it, I’ll gift it to you. After coming back to life this ti, I cut off all my relationships with the ancient Heavenly City... and this Palace of Winter is sothing that belongs to the ancient Heavenly City. To tell you the truth, I already considered getting rid of it,” the Great Northern Emperor said.
Song Shuhang patted his chest, and said, “Senior, you can just leave it to in that case.”
The Great Northern Emperor faintly smiled, and said, “Since you are Cheng Lin’s son-in-law and soone that Fairy @#%× attaches great importance to, I won’t lie to you. This Palace of Winter is a portion of the ancient Heavenly City, and there is so deep karma between it and the Heavenly City. If you accept the Palace of Winter, you’ll take my place and inherit the karma between the Palace of Winter and the Heavenly City as well. Therefore, think carefully before making your choice.”
Song Shuhang paused for a mont, and then asked, “Senior, can you tell in detail about this karma?”
Speaking of karma with the Heavenly City, Song Shuhang was already deeply embroiled in it.
The cultivation technique he practiced, the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique❯, ca from the Divine Beast Departnt of the ancient Heavenly City.
His ghost spirit Ye Si was Cheng Lin’s daughter, the Jade Lake Empress of the ancient Heavenly City.
His light of virtue—in other words, Fairy @#%×—was related to the ancient Heavenly City as well.
In addition, he’d visited the ‘mysterious island’ in the past, and that island had a very complex relationship with the Heavenly City. But, this portion of his mories had been sealed, and he had recovered only a small part of it so far.
After that, he explored the Jade Lake Realm alongside Senior White, obtaining the authority to freely go in and out of it.
As if that wasn’t enough, the scholarly faction had gifted him several immortal caves, and according to what True Monarch Eternal Fire had said, these immortal caves were small fragnts of the ancient Heavenly City. During the next few days, True Monarch Eternal Fire would deliver him those immortal caves.
There was also another matter... several mbers of the ancient Heavenly City had a certain ‘Imperial Pearl’ with them, which was sohow related to the Heavenly Emperor. Whenever this Imperial Pearl was in front of him, it would break to pieces.
If the ancient Heavenly City was a quagmire, Song Shuhang already sunk halfway into it.
“I can’t explain this karma in just a few sentences. I can only say that the Palace of Winter might represent a great opportunity for you, but might also bring you great misfortune. Let’s not talk about the long-term karma, and only concentrate on the short-term one. Do you know that so influences had been secretly hunting down the survivors of the ancient Heavenly City after the fall of the latter? If you take the Palace of Winter, you might beco the target of those influences,” the Great Northern Emperor said.
“I understand,” Song Shuhang said with a nod.
“Therefore, are you sure you want the Palace of Winter? I won’t force you, and the choice is entirely up to you. This way, you won’t have regrets in the future,” the Great Northern Emperor said.
“Senior, I’ll accept the Palace of Winter,” Song Shuhang said. He already had a deep relationship with the ancient Heavenly City, and didn’t really mind accepting the Palace of Winter as well.
“You are ambitious. I really like youngsters like you, full of enthusiasm and easy to deceive!” the Great Northern Emperor said.
“...” Song Shuhang. What do you an by ‘easy to deceive’?!
The Great Northern Emperor laughed and stretched out his hand again, caressing the Palace of Winter.
Song Shuhang clearly felt the ‘mark’ of the Great Northern Emperor disappear from the Palace of Winter.
Soon afterward, the Great Northern Emperor gave the Palace of Winter to Song Shuhang. “I’ll leave the palace to you. Be sure to take care of it properly.”
The Palace of Winter was his symbol, and by giving it to Song Shuhang, he was leaving behind his identity as Great Northern Emperor of the ancient Heavenly City.
“Senior, can I ask you why you decided to cut off your relationship with the ancient Heavenly City?” Song Shuhang suddenly asked.
“How can I explain it... the ‘ancient Heavenly City’ was the path that belonged to the Heavenly Emperor. This path was truly terrifying, and had the Heavenly Emperor succeeded, the entire universe would have undergone great changes. At that ti, the other fellow daoists and I were part of the great path of the Heavenly Emperor,” the Great Northern Emperor said with a smile. “But the path of the Heavenly Emperor failed. As such, it’s only natural for to get away from this path.”
“Is that so?” Song Shuhang asked out of curiosity. He felt that things weren’t this simple.
“For now, I can only tell you this much. The rest is a secret, and I won’t easily tell you about it—not even if you are Cheng Lin’s son-in-law or related to Fairy @#%×,” the Great Northern Emperor said with a smile.
“...” Song Shuhang.
“Take the Palace of Winter. Afterward, we’ll discuss again the thod to treat the daughter of your dead friend. The Ice Soul Pill needs to be refined quickly. In the next days, I’ll take out the ti to check my old treasure houses and see how many dicinal materials I can gather. If there are so missing dicinal materials, I’ll contact you, and we’ll go look for them together. It would be best to gather all the dicinal materials within ten days and start refining the pill,” the Great Northern Emperor said.
“Sure, no problem,” Song Shuhang said.
“In addition, bring this back and give it to the daughter of your dead friend.” The Great Northern Emperor stretched out his hand and slashed at the glacier beneath his feet, cutting off a thick piece of ice.
Then, he stretched out his finger and poked at the block of thick ice, engraving a supplentary cultivation technique within.
“This is my supplentary cultivation technique. Imdiately bring it back to the daughter of your dead friend and make her practice it so that she can be ready. Then, as I finish refining the Ice Soul Pill, we can cure her cold disease.” The Great Northern Emperor handed over the thick block of ice.
Song Shuhang received the block of ice.
“In that case, let us et again, little friend,” the Great Northern Emperor said. After saying this much, he stretched out his hand and waved it, summoning over the green sea turtle.
The Great Northern Emperor jumped on the back of the turtle. After pondering for a mont, he said, “Little friend, I didn’t ask your daoist na.”
“Senior, my daoist na is Scholar Mountain of Books,” Song Shuhang said as he cupped his hands.
“A scholarly disciple? But don’t you practice a buddhist cultivation technique? Your light of virtue is so dazzling that it almost blinded my eyes,” the Great Northern Emperor said, puzzled.
“No. Actually, the cultivation technique I practice is the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique❯,” Song Shuhang said.
“Heavens! The ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique❯ of the Divine Beast Departnt?” the green sea turtle gasped in amazent.
“Indeed,” Song Shuhang said.
“Interesting. In that case, let us et again, little friend Scholar Mountain of Books.” After saying this much, the Great Northern Emperor cupped his hands.
Then, Song Shuhang felt as though the entire world started spinning.
When he recovered, he found himself outside the forbidden area.
Was the Great Northern Emperor planning to send him off when he said ‘let us et again’...?
Song Shuhang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
When he looked at his posture earlier, he even thought that the Great Northern Emperor would ride the turtle and leave the forbidden area...
Just as he was in deep thought, a sword light suddenly popped out of the ground, slashing toward him!
The sword qi was extrely sharp, and it made Song Shuhang’s balls— ahem, scalp go numb!
