Dongfang Jingyue became different from before. A while ago, he could still sense emotions and desires from her. But now, she waspletely void of them - an ascension allowing to shred her mortal bounds to be a true fairy.
Her location became mystical and shrouded with fog just like therge statue in the river. People couldn’t help themselves from wanting to prostrate down.
What did she just get in order to have such a big transformation?
“Feng Feiyun, don’t you have something to give me?” She stared straight at him and said.
He couldn’t describe it exactly but her stare was no longer the same as before.
“What?” Feiyun asked.
“Ten Thousand Lights.” She said.
This was one of the seven diagrams from the spirit ring, just like the dragon-horse one.
‘How did she know? What does she want it for?’ He wondered.
A jade ship was floating around her forehead, as bright as a moon. It flew out and massive energy in the form of a white pir aimed straight for his ck ring.
“Rumble!” The ring felt this energy and began to spin. The six ancient words fell down and turned into six diagrams. One of them got off the regr trajectory and headed for the jade ship.
Of course, it was the Ten Thousand Lights.
More than ten thousand plumes of light danced in the sky, not too bright. They surrounded the space around the ship and emitted a heavenly hymn.
This scene was magical just like the stars in the sky while the ship was the moon in the center.
Feiyun took a deep breath and watched in awe. He waspletely right before. His bronze vessel corresponded with the dragon-horse diagram while this jade one was with Ten Thousand Lights.
What about the other five diagrams?
The ring was still spinning; a trace of connection was created between it and the jade vessel.
Jingyue’s eyes were bright like the explosions of the stars. She lifted her palm and raised the vessel while the lights were floating around her, causing her to stand out like a goddess. These lights would forever be eternal.
“The Ten Thousand Lights, burn the sky and the ocean!” She waved her sleeve and the vessel flew outward. The lights became even more resplendent like ten thousand balls on fire, wanting to incinerate everything.
The clouds dissipated while the earth dried up. Even the stones shattered with smoke flying everywhere. The ocean was starting to churn.
The world inside the painting was being destroyed.
“Whoosh!” The two of them finally returned to the old room. That painting caught on fire and became ashes.
Feiyun became serious and said: “What did you obtain in that painting?”
The jade vessel returned to her forehead and disappeared without a trace.
Her clearly-defined eyes on top of the veil were calm as she asked: “Feng Feiyun, do you love Shui Yueting?”
He was surprised. There were still specters screaming outside with galesing in. However, the two in the room were silent.
He eventually answered: “You better not ask me about this, actually, don’t ever bring her up.”
“Do you not want to answer, or do you not dare?” She inquired again.
“I don’t think I need to talk to you about this.” He crossed his arms in front of his chest and said.
“Fine.” She stopped asking and flew out of the ancestral room.
She summoned her vessel and the lights floated around her.
The specters treated these lights like lightning tribtions and got the hell away. Even the Ghost Kings were threatened and kept a distance.
The two of them finally left this area under the protection of the vessel and the lights.
Jingyue reported what they found to the n master. He was very serious about this issue and carefully investigated it before calling for Feiyun again.
“My apology, I didn’t expect for these ghastly things to be here in my n. Sorry if it had scared you, Your Excellency, but it’s not a big problem. I have ordered several powerful treasure masters and Giants toe in and exterminate them.”
Feiyun nced at Jingyue standing behind the n master and requested: “I have a few words I wish to discuss with you in private.”
The n master narrowed his eyes before speaking: “Yue’er, go fetch the eight spirit materials.”
She stared at Feiyun for a moment before leaving.
“Your Excellency, go ahead.” The n master was very nice towards him and treated him as a peer despite their age gap.
Feiyun contemted for a bit before speaking: “I’ve seen Miss Dongfang’s face.”
The n master’s smile froze.
Jingyue was exactly identical to the Jin River Goddess. This was definitely a big deal. People woulde asking for information and the n, despite its immense power, wouldn’t be able to handle everyone.
He eventually sighed repeatedly while shaking his head.
Feiyun continued: “Please don’t worry, n master. I will keep my mouth shut about this matter. It’s just that I have something I’m quite curious about and the trip to the ancestral hall only exacerbated it.”
“What is it?”
Feiyun asked: “What is the rtionship between the river goddess and your n?”
The n master carefully chose his words: “I’m sure you have heard about Duo Vige and tales about the goddess. Hmm, the truth is that it wouldn’t be inurate to call the goddess our ancestor.”
He stood up and brought him to their memorial hall. He shot out two rays of light and two paintings appeared on the memorial tablets. The girl in one of the paintings was identical to Shui Yueting.
This was a painting from ten thousand years ago.
Feiyun was shaken because he could guarantee that this was Shui Yueting.
The n master continued: “The two people from Duo are our ancestors, Dongfang and Yueliang - a pair of brother and sister.”
“After Ancestor Yueliang disappeared, Ancestor Dongfang finally got married and started our n. Here we are today after ten thousand years.”
Feng Feiyun’s mind was also flying back ten thousand years ago when he was her lover.
If she was indeed their ancestor, then how the hell did she get her incredible cultivation?
‘Why did Ie back to life and return to her old ce? Or, did Ie back to life ten thousand yearster?’
Feiyun felt that this wasn’t a coincidence.
For example, therge statue by the river had a trace of divinity. Ordinary cultivators would never be able to carve something like that.
He even felt that after reaching her peak state, Shui Yueting had returned to the dynasty for some reasons.
‘No, I forgot the most important thing, Dongfang Jingyue!’
He quickly asked again: “n master, did Dongfang Jingyue have a mother or did she came out from that painting?”
The n master’s eyes shed after hearing this. He sighed again: “So you found this out too.”
“So she really dide from the painting?” Feiyun held his breath.
The n master nodded then shook his head: “She is indeed rted to the painting, but she also had a mother from our n.”
Feiyun became even more confused: “What do you mean? She has a mother but is still rted to the painting?”
“That I can’t answer you.” The n master became a bit unhappy.
Feiyun realized that he was too impolite earlier. Ultimately, this was his n’s private matters. Plus, he was questioning the authenticity of her birth mother? This was improper and no one would be happy to hear this.
He said apologetically: “Sorry, because this is very important to me. Please excuse my rudeness, n master.”
The n master smiled back: “It’s fine, it’s fine. If you still have questions, you can go ask her parents or wet nurse, or even the servants from our n.”
If it was something else, he would certainly drop it because the n master didn’t like it. s, he would continue to investigate this matter.
“Then I’ll go ask them.” He said and turned to leave right away.
The n master called him back: “Please wait, Your Excellency.”
“Is there something else, n master?”
“This is the forbidden ground of our n, many disciples from the main branches haven’t even been here before. Earlier, I told you our n’s biggest secrets. It shows that I don’t consider you an outsider.” The n master smiled implicatively.
Feiyun wasn’t dumb and waited for the n master to finish the second half of that sentence.
