According to the Demon Refining Pot, its understanding of Feng Yucheng wasn't extensive either.
The Demon Refining Pot was originally sealed away by the demon race at the bottom of a lake called "Ten Thousand Demons Lake" within the territory of the Great Wastes.
This pot is an Immortal Artifact specially forged by an ancient supreme expert to combat the demon race. Just like your 'Alien's Biological Father' trait, it has a special effectiveness against a specific group.
The Demon Refining Pot has niy-nine ways to kill a demon.
But if this thing isn't used against demons, its effectiveness is greatly diminished, perhaps even inferior to a Heaven-Grade Spirit Artifact.
Over the long river of time, the Demon Refining Pot passed from hand to hand, and in the end, it somehow ended up in the possession of the demon race in the Great Wastes.
The demon race feared it but had no way to destroy it, so they could only seal it away, stationing some demons to guard it.
This time, as the war between the two races erupted and both sides faced off at Cangqiong Ridge, the demons, unable to break through after a long siege, remembered this thing.
Although it was a bit risky, it was, after all, an Immortal Artifact. Adding another source of power was always good.
Thus, the Azure Dragon Demon Ancestor bestowed the Demon Refining Pot upon the Four-Eyed Spirit Monkey.
Feng Yucheng defected to the demon race, guiding their vanguard and offering strategies. The Four-Eyed Spirit Monkey, in turn, rewarded Feng Yucheng with the Demon Refining Pot.
"Pot! I have drifted for half a lifetime, only regretting never meeting a worthy master! If you, sir, do not find me unworthy, this pot wishes to recognize you as its master!"
The Demon Refining Pot bounced and hopped in your hand, shaking its head and swaying, its Artifact Spirit's tone dripping with flattery.
The Ten Thousand Souls Banner snorted in contempt at the Demon Refining Pot.
"Demon Refining Pot, can't you have any shame? Must we Immortal Artifacts submit to cultivators? Can't we be independent, sovereign great artifacts?"
The Demon Refining Pot spoke with sarcastic mockery.
"Insignificant Earth-Grade Spirit Artifact, why do you not bow upon seeing this venerable one?"
The Ten Thousand Souls Banner was so angry it emitted black smoke.
"Who the hell is an Earth-Grade Spirit Artifact?! Bro, I am an Immortal Artifact! It's just that I met with calamity, my body was destroyed, and I'm temporarily residing in this measly little Earth-Grade Spirit Artifact!"
"Oh my~~ How come other artifacts didn't meet with calamity and remain intact, while only you, esteemed one, were destroyed? Could it be because you committed countless evils and were hunted down for it? Hmm??"
"Wah yah yah yah yah!! Hey! You damned broken pot! I swear I'll use you as a chamber pot!!"
"Is this an Immortal Artifact... it doesn't live up to the word 'immortal' at all..."
Chen Yi complained outside the simulation.
"This simulation should be ending soon."
He didn't expect to receive such explosive news right at the end of the simulation.
"Is Feng Yucheng even human?"
Judging by his transformed appearance in the simulation, he definitely wasn't human. Otherwise, the 'Alien's Biological Father' trait wouldn't have taken effect.
But listening to his words, he sounded very much like a person with poor aptitude who would stop at nothing to become stronger.
"What a weirdo..."
At this very moment, in reality, Feng Yucheng and Chen Yi were in the same county town.
While continuing to watch the simulation, Chen Yi also pondered how to deal with this ticking time bomb.
You sat on the ground, listening to the two Immortal Artifacts bicker, managing a weak laugh.
"Interesting... By the way, Ten Thousand Souls Banner, let me ask you something."
The Ten Thousand Souls Banner, amidst its busy quarrel, spared a moment to reply.
"What is it?"
"Before I met you, where were you? Please be precise down to the day, and preferably the exact time of day."
"How could I possibly remember that clearly! It was roughly..."
You listened to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner's recollection, committing all of it firmly to memory using your 'Photographic Memory'.
Gradually, the Dragon-Man Poison spread throughout your body. You felt the strength being drained from your limbs, and your eyelids began to grow heavy.
"Time to go..."
Just as you were about to close your eyes, in a dazed blur, you saw a graceful figure running towards you.
The other party seemed to shout "Uncle!"
An unknown amount of time later, you woke up again.
"I'm not dead?"
You found yourself in a military camp tent, lying on a bamboo bed.
"Uncle! You're awake! It seems the precious elixir Her Majesty gave me was effective!"
Hearing the call, you turned your head and saw a young woman in a purple dress sitting by the bed.
Looking closely, it was none other than your Third Sister's daughter, Shen Jia.
Her appearance was actually frozen as if she were in her early twenties.
"Shen Jia? What are you doing here? Your looks..."
When you traveled from the Eastern Wastes to Xiliang, you did go to Baiyun County to see Third Sister's family once, but you only observed from afar without disturbing them.
However, you remembered that Shen Jia at that time already had the appearance of a middle-aged woman.
How could she be getting younger?
"Master gave me a precious medicine that can restore one's appearance to youth. It was also Master who sent me to find you. She has a letter for you."
"Master? Who is your master?"
"The Southern Borderlands' Female Emperor, Li Lingyue!"
The Great Qian imperial family's Flower Princess, Li Lingyue.
You hadn't heard that name in a long time.
But you would always remember that wonderful night, that enchanting cave.
"That can't be right. Li Lingyue is a Female Emperor? She wasn't even a martial artist, how could she become a Female Emperor? If she were that powerful, why would Great Qian have sent her to the Great Shi Kingdom for a political marriage back then?"
"Master indeed couldn't cultivate at first, but she actually has a naturally sealed Saint Body. It requires rare treasures to stimulate and awaken the Saint Body, which also restores her aptitude.
After Master arrived in the Southern Borderlands, she did not go through with the marriage alliance. She escaped.
After that, she went through many experiences—calamities, fortuitous encounters, meeting noble people, and so on—which finally allowed her to embark on the martial path, until she proclaimed herself emperor and became a power that shook the region.
Master said all her experiences over these years are written in the letter. You'll understand once you read it, Uncle."
Just as you were about to open the letter, suddenly, you felt a piercing pain in your heart, violently opening your mouth to spit out a mouthful of black blood, staining the bedding.
"Uncle!"
Shen Jia panicked and wanted to go call for help, but you grabbed her.
"Don't go. This poison has no cure. The precious medicine you gave me only brought about a final rally before death."
"Uncle..."
Shen Jia's eyes welled up with tears.
"It's fine. At least I can see family before I die, and someone will properly handle my affairs after I'm gone. I'm content..."
"Uncle, don't give up! You are the Demon-Slaying Grand Marshal, the people of the world still need you!"
"Let's not talk about that. Shen Jia, how did you become Li Lingyue's disciple?"
"After Master ascended the throne and proclaimed herself emperor, she continuously sent people to the Central Plains to search for you. She wanted to appoint you as her Imperial Consort. For this reason, for all these years, her rear palace has remained empty, waiting only for you."
"Ah, this..."
"Master couldn't find you, but she found me and Mother, and also Da Chun."
Listening to Shen Jia's account, you learned.
The Female Emperor, loving the crow for the sake of its rook, gave your relatives much assistance.
Shen Jia also seized this opportunity, acknowledging the Female Emperor as her master and cultivating until now.
Your Third Sister's final days were also spent in the Female Emperor's luxurious palace, where she passed away peacefully of old age.
Even Da Chun, after the Female Emperor discovered his connection to you, was also invited to her capital city to live a life of ease and comfort.
It was normal for the Female Emperor not to find you.
You first went to the Eastern Wastes, then to Xiliang. Even when you were in the Central Plains, your footsteps never stopped.
You ran around everywhere, so of course it was difficult for others to find you.
"I never imagined she developed true feelings for me and kept searching for me all this time. Where is she? Didn't she come with you?"
"Master... has already fallen at the front lines of Cangqiong Ridge..."
