Chapter 135 - Is It Funny That the Reincarnated Senior Sister Is Also Being Pursued?

"It is said that the Tianxing Spring was formed after the Lingtai of the ancient Daluo Golden Immortal Tian Xing Zun descended into this realm. Due to Tian Xing Zun's cultivation of the Nine-Transformation Soul Refining Technique, her Lingtai is extremely resilient. Even though the original owner was long dead, the Lingtai could endure through the ages, eventually turning into a spring." "You should be aware that when a person is born, their soul is untainted and can be freely cultivated. The purer the soul, the smaller the bottleneck when breaking through. However, as time passes, the soul becomes more turbid. Therefore, cultivators who can achieve great accomplishments are often not very old, while those who are nearing the end of their lifespan might never break through." "The effect of the Tianxing Spring is to cleanse the soul of cultivators." "Then what?" Bai Lian couldn't help but ask. She had heard of the name Tian Xing Zun. There were a few brief descriptions of Tian Xing Zun in the game, stating that she was the most powerful immortal of ancient times, mastering the strongest soul secret technique in the world, and even capable of extracting a person's soul from the underworld after their death. Different from the real cultivation world and immortal realm that exist in the world, the underworld has always been something that cultivators do not mention. No one knows the functioning of the underworld and its exact location. It is only known that after a cultivator dies, they will go to the underworld, then their soul will be cleansed and they will be reincarnated. This is the rule of this world, and even an immortal cannot violate it. Once a cultivator enters the underworld, it means they can never return to the living. Tian Xing Zun's appearance broke this rule. She could actively let her Yang Spirit enter the underworld and come out alive. This process of going from life to death and then from death to life was the key to her achieving the status of Daluo Golden Immortal. It is said that as long as she did not want to die, no one could kill her because she could always hide her Yang Spirit in the underworld and return when it was safe. Although she was eventually killed easily by a demonic immortal, her Yang Spirit was directly annihilated, and she didn’t even have the chance to escape to the underworld. Even so, no one would question her strength. By rights, a spring formed by the Lingtai of such a powerful immortal should have caused a great disturbance in the cultivation world. So why has she not heard any related rumors? Mu Xing He smiled and said, "Although the water of the Tianxing Spring is precious, few people know about it. And even if someone knows of its existence, they dare not have any thoughts about it." Bai Lian was slightly stunned upon hearing this and suddenly thought of a possibility. "Could it be related to the Xia Family?" A spring that was formed from the Lingtai of an immortal, capable of cleansing the soul, would be a treasure coveted by all sects and families. Despite its preciousness, the fact that nobody dared to have any intentions towards it meant that its owner was powerful enough that no one dared to challenge. The only family she could think of was the Xia imperial family, with two unparalleled existences, making them unique in the entire cultivation world. "Exactly, the water of the Tianxing Spring is in the imperial palace," Mu Xing He said. "Its presence has allowed the Xia Family to cultivate numerous talented cultivators, serving as the cornerstone of the Xia royal family's power for hundreds of years." Bai Lian suddenly felt speechless. The "big shot" who invented a method to remove the Enchantment Mark, did not understand market economics at all, did they? Creating such a high-cost spell, it's impossible to promote well! And this was hundreds of years ago. In her past life, humans had progressed from burning water with firewood to using nuclear energy. Did this spell not undergo any kind of iteration? It seemed as if Mu Xing He could perceive her thoughts and said, "In reality, at that time, the Enchantment Mark was almost an incurable poison technique. It was only because a certain princess was marked with the Enchantment Mark and was suffering terribly that the Great Xia dynasty, in conjunction with our predecessors from the sect, jointly developed the antidote to remove the Enchantment Mark." "Although it was finally developed, the high cost meant that for most cultivators, the Enchantment Mark remained an incurable poison." "Our sect's predecessor did want to develop a cheaper method, but unfortunately... he was ambushed by the demonic sect while searching for herbs and died at the hands of those demon people." At this point, there was a deep sense of regret on Mu Xing He's face. The elder of their Heavenly Pivot Divine Sect was the most accomplished in medical arts. After his death, the medical arts of their sect declined and have yet to fully recover to this day. "I see," Bai Lian said somewhat regretfully, then asked, "Where is the Tianxing Spring now?" "It's in the Xia Family's mansion." "In the Xia Family's mansion…" Bai Lian pondered for a moment, feeling somewhat helpless. "As an outsider, how could I enter the Xia Family's mansion? Besides, I don't know anyone in the imperial palace." "Who said you don't know anyone?" Mu Xing He lightly laughed. Bai Lian suddenly looked up, showing a disbelieving expression. "Could it be... Could it be that Mu Shijie, you are actually the Emperor of Great Xia's illegitimate daughter?" "Ridiculous," Mu Xing He poked Bai Lian's little face unkindly. Hmm, so soft and tender. She's really high-quality. "In fact, you've thought of it yourself," she said. Bai Lian shrugged as if to say even if Mu Xing He didn't explicitly say it, she still knew who she was referring to. Besides the current Xia Emperor's most beloved daughter, Wei Yang Princess, there was no one else she could come into contact with who could enter the imperial shrine. She had not expected that after going around in circles, she could not escape the inevitable meeting with Wei Yang. How could it be such a coincidence? The Sword Heart Grass, Tianxing Spring, Devoted Love Flower, Blood of the Fairy – each of them was a spiritual entity that could only be obtained where the female leads were located, and each one was more difficult than the last! She was starting to suspect that the Enchantment Mark and the method of removing it were actually foreshadowing! "Looks like I'll have to go find Wei Yang Princess," she sighed. "In fact, you don't need to worry. Wei Yang Princess's Luo Tian Banquet this time is bound to have some request for us," Mu Xing He said with a smile. "At that time, we can have Wei Yang Princess fetch the water of the Tianxing Spring as a reward." She was delighted to see Bai Lian's distressed expression about having to meet Wei Yang Princess. In her past life, Wei Yang took away too much of Bai Lian's favor, and now it was time to let that person experience the taste of being ignored. Before that, she didn't mind if Wei Yang Princess approached Bai Lian again. "Yes!" Bai Lian's eyes lit up. With her helping Wei Yang Princess, she could get Wei Yang Princess to fetch the water of the Tianxing Spring as a task, making it a straightforward business relationship. Then she wouldn't need to have too much entanglement with Wei Yang. "Mu Jiejie, you're really great!" Bai Lian suddenly happily embraced Mu Xing He's arm, unconsciously snuggling against it. Hehe, indeed, she was once a wise helpmate. It seemed that Mu Jiejie still favored her a lot. Perhaps the two of them could really become very close sisters? Feeling the astonishing softness on her arm and the gentle voice by her ear, Mu Xing He inwardly took a deep breath. She felt that at this rate, she would sooner or later be controlled by her inner demon and couldn't resist devouring this little chick of a Bai Lian.
