Chapter 543: Chapter 273: A Glimpse of the Future, the Demon Ancestor’s Ambition (Part 3)
He didn’t really suspect Mu Qingyan. If she had a plot, she’d likely choose a more plausible reason; this claim is too shocking. If she encountered soone else, she might even be subjected to a Soul Search.
But is it really rebirth?
Or what exactly does rebirth an in the Xuanwei Realm?
Zheng Fa listened to Mu Qingyan without a change in his expression and suddenly asked, “In the mories of your past life, was I there?”
“No…” Mu Qingyan hesitated a mont, then answered honestly, “I heard at the Hundred Immortals Alliance that the Jiushan Sect was the first to be wiped out by the Great Freedom Demon Sect, and the three Nascent Souls of Jiushan Sect, along with Master Zhang, died heroically in battle.”
This… seems like sothing Master and Senior Sister could pull off.
It actually sounds sowhat credible.
“Without …”
This sounds rather odd. Logically speaking, without him, if the Jiushan Sect encountered the Great Freedom Demon Sect, they might truly face annihilation.
This developnt aligns well with common sense.
Yet without him, this so-called mory of rebirth loses a bit of its significance, or at least its value isn’t as high.
“Then why are you telling now?”
Zheng Fa directly asked Mu Qingyan.
“I… want to take Sect Leader as my Master!”
“Ah?”
Mu Qingyan’s intention left Zheng Fa a bit stunned.
Mu Qingyan explained directly, “In my past life, although I had so opportunities, I was adrift and never encountered a sect like the Jiushan Realm…”
Upon hearing this, Zheng Fa responded noncommittally, rely continuing to watch Mu Qingyan.
It was only her next words that made him nod.
“In my past life, I reached at most the Nascent Soul stage, struggling even for Divinity Transformation, let alone opposing the Demon Ancestor.”
These words sounded much more sincere than before.
This is akin to how being handso only leads to romance, while being wealthy leads to marriage… No matter how harmonious Jiushan Realm’s atmosphere is, it’s unlikely to move soone like Mu Qingyan, who’s experienced great hardships.
Only by displaying increasingly strong capabilities in successive battles could Mu Qingyan eventually reveal her secrets, hoping to secure Zheng Fa’s support.
“Take as a disciple?” Zheng Fa contemplated for a mont, looking at Mu Qingyan, then shook his head slightly.
“Sect Leader?”
“My current cultivation is still low, and I’m overwheld with various affairs. To take a disciple, I’d at least need to be at the Nascent Soul stage.”
Mu Qingyan nodded in agreent, “The disciple had guessed as much.”
This is actually a norm among gifted individuals in the cultivation world. In their early years, they progress vigorously, leaving little ti for accepting disciples.
But once they reach the Nascent Soul, with its longevity, ti becos abundant.
For instance, the previous two lineages in the Jiushan Sect consisted of disciples of Nascent Soul True Personas and their followers.
“Moreover, I can only say that I’m not opposed to you becoming my disciple.”
Mu Qingyan looked up, seemingly understanding sothing, with wide eyes, she asked, “A… test?”
Zheng Fa nodded with a smile.
“What… kind of test?”
“What you previously studied on University Island, or what you will learn in the future…”
This kind of behavior where no focus is provided before a test, or rather an entire book is marked as important, made Mu Qingyan tremble her lips, seemingly sowhat fearful.
“After all, you’re a reincarnated Nascent Soul with a lifeti of experience and a mind full of Secret Techniques…” Seeing her not responding, Zheng Fa leisurely responded, “Surely you wouldn’t even fail a test against other disciples, right?”
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyan was indeed provoked, biting her small teeth as she boldly declared, “Definitely not!”
Zheng Fa nodded with a smile.
He held a relatively positive view of Mu Qingyan; she had made significant contributions to the “Golden Core Project,” ranking among the top three in the project team besides Lady Xuanhua, indicating there was indeed substance in her mind.
If the story of rebirth holds true, for her to have reached the Nascent Soul stage in her past life without any formal tutelage, her aptitude, character, and insights are quite remarkable.
As for the testing, truth be told, Zheng Fa didn’t find it demanding at all—
A reincarnator, how could they not stand out a bit?
Having lived two lifetis and yet failing against others, wouldn’t that be embarrassing!
The only thing that made him wary now was the matter of rebirth—but placing Mu Qingyan right in front of him turned out to be sowhat reassuring.
Mu Qingyan instead displayed a slightly relieved deanor, at first finding the idea of a test from Zheng Fa strange, but later she figured it out—it indicated that the Sect Leader did not regard her too differently because of her secret.
This was indeed unexpected, but not necessarily a bad thing; rather, it seed to give her a bit more sense of security.
She heard Zheng Fa ask again, “In your mory, what does the Xuanwei Realm look like in the future?”
Now with the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor erging, stirring up the storm, and the saying that Dao Fruit is undying, making Zheng Fa quite apprehensive—how many Dao Fruit practitioners are there in this world, indeed?
One must know, the Xuanwei Realm possesses an extrely long-standing history…
“Though I was a Nascent Soul, I was always a loose cultivator, just surviving between the crevices of several major forces, and not highly knowledgeable about anything beyond Divinity Transformation.” Mu Qingyan said sowhat uncomfortably.
“Several major forces?”
“In the East Continent, the Supre Dao Dao Country and the Haori Mountain Sacred Land are preeminent, along with several major demon lands.”
“In the West Continent, it seems there’s the Leiyin Temple’s Buddha Land, as well as the Yaochi Heavenly Court.”
Zheng Fa listened silently; based on these terminologies, it appeared that each of the Five Sects of the Xuanwei might have a Dao Fruit practitioner erging, expanding their influence, and it likely had sothing to do with how many people practiced their Basic Great thod.
But… what about the Tianhe Sect?
“Tianhe Sect…” Mu Qingyan’s voice was sowhat low, “has perished.”
This matter left Zheng Fa in ntal disorder, the Tianhe Sect is gone?
Yet upon further inquiry, Mu Qingyan couldn’t clarify the cause, only stating that this event turned out to be a significant matter for the future of the Xuanwei Realm, involving all major demon lands and even the Four Sects of Xuanwei, and by the ti her cultivation was high, the Tianhe Sect had long been destroyed, with most rumors hard to distinguish between true and false.
