## Chapter 163: The Asura Princess, Rakshasa Maiden - Ah? The Wives I Abandoned Turned Out to Be Real

## Chapter 163: The Asura Princess, Rakshasa Maiden "Senior Brother Su, who do you think will be able to decipher the runes on that stone tablet this time?" [On the journey, due to your status as the personal disciple of the sect leader, you find yourself accompanied by a pretty third-generation female disciple who gazes at you with undisguised admiration.] [This scene makes Bai Ning Shuang rather jealous, yet your indifferent expression fills her heart with delight.] [As expected, Brother Su treats all women equally.] [Three days later, you arrive at the Chilian Gorge.] [Chilian Gorge is a valley formed by volcanic eruptions. Normally, some cultivators who practice fire-element techniques visit to gather fire energy, alchemy, forge weapons, or train.] [Recently, a wandering immortal visited to collect some Vital Essence Red Copper and unexpectedly witnessed the appearance of a stone tablet with celestial runes.] [Unable to comprehend its meaning after gazing at it for a long time, the wandering immortal realized that he lacked the fate to understand the stone tablet.] [He made a copy and informed his fellow Daoists about his discovery.] [The news spread quickly, reaching the entire Immortal Realm, prompting various sects to dispatch their disciples to Chilian Gorge to gain insight.] [The air around is scorching. Bai Ning Shuang produces a net woven from icy threads, shielding herself from the terrifying heat outside.] [Shortly, Chilian Gorge is filled with steam.] [Looking up, you notice a stunning red-clad fairy in the clouds, wielding a palm-leaf fan, fanning the whole gorge.] [The wind is immense and frigid.] [A gentle breeze has already cooled down much of the gorge.] [Soon, rain begins to drench the sky.] [Torrents of heavy rain, the likes of which have not been seen in Chilian Gorge for many years, pour down, causing explosions in the earth fire upon contact with the lava.] [You watch the fanning red-clad fairy with a budding feeling of inexplicable emotion yet remain unsure of its nature.] [As the rain continues, the steam in Chilian Gorge evaporates, leaving behind an autumn-like coolness in what was once a sweltering environment.] [Leaving Bai Ning Shuang's protective icy web, you feel the fresh breeze upon your face.] [Immediately, you shout to the red-clad fairy:] "Thank you, fairy, for relieving us from the heat!" [Hearing your call, the red-clad maiden turns to look at you, her celestial presence matched by a face of stunning beauty.] [Approaching, you sense her majestic and authoritative elegance.] [Noticing your attire, the red-clad fairy descends slowly, waving her palm-leaf fan leisurely.] "Are you disciples of Shushan?" "Indeed." [For some reason, you feel compelled to present yourself before this maiden and step forward to introduce yourself.] "My name is Su Mo, the personal disciple of the current Shushan sect leader." "This is Bai Ning Shuang, and this is Zhang Cang Feng..." [Hearing your introduction, a flicker of curiosity appears in the red-clad maiden's glittering eyes.] "A personal disciple of the Shushan sect leader? Does that mean you are the next leader of Shushan?" [You watch her intently, finding everything about her agreeable.] [You chuckle before inquiring further.] "May I ask for the lady's name?" "You are quite rude." [Seeing your gaze, a touch of redness graces the red-clad maiden's cheeks as she chastises you, but she still tells you her name.] "You may call me Rakshasa Maiden." [Zhang Cang Feng, knowledgeable as he is, speaks up.] "Could you perhaps be the thirteenth princess of the Asura clan, the Rakshasa Maiden?" "It is said that the Rakshasa Maiden has been cultivating since childhood, possessing a magic treasure called the palm-leaf fan, capable of diminishing flames and conjuring winds, a blessing to farmers and commoners." "I suppose it must be you." [Hearing this, you are taken aback, astonished by the lofty lineage of this red-clad female cultivator.] [Subsequently, you extend an invitation.] "We have come to Chilian Gorge to observe the stone tablet with celestial runes. Rakshasa Maiden, are you here for the same purpose?" "If so, would you care to join us?" [Upon hearing your address and invitation, the Rakshasa Maiden gladly agrees.] "No need to call me Rakshasa Maiden; just call me by my nickname, Iron Fan will do." "I came here precisely to view the stone tablet with celestial runes." "Seeing the heat of this place, I fanned it thrice. Within half a year, this place will reignite, allowing those practicing fire cultivation to continue their training unimpeded." [Impressed by the Rakshasa Maiden's thoughtfulness, you feel a deep sense of admiration.] "Iron Fan, shall we proceed?" "Yes!" [Following this, your group advances toward the location where the stone tablet emerged.] [Yet you fail to notice Bai Ning Shuang's sullen expression.] [In her heart, Iron Fan has become her primary rival.] [Upon reaching the stone tablet, you find it surrounded by a crowd of cultivators. Noticing your attire, they step aside, creating space for you.] [Internally, you can't help but marvel at the formidable prestige of being from Shushan.] [Thanking the wanderers who ceded way, you and your group stand before the stone tablet for observation.] [The stone tablet, approximately three zhang high and one zhang wide, is inscribed with tadpole-like characters.] [Carefully examining the stone tablet, you feel your consciousness drawn in, unknowingly gaining a technique called "Primordial Sun Formula" in your mind.] [The Primordial Sun Formula is a mystical method to empower your Dao arts by harnessing the utmost pure yang force of the universe.] [The precise potency is yet unclear.] [When you observe your companions, you find Bai Ning Shuang, Iron Fan, and Zhang Cang Feng entranced by the stone tablet as well.] [The several third-generation Shushan disciples, however, appear different.] [All scratching their heads, their expressions fraught with frustration.] [By right, entering Shushan, they possess fortunate fates and aptitude but fail to comprehend the stone tablet because it is not destined for them.] [After a while, Zhang Cang Feng is the first to awaken, his eyes filled with awe.] [Shortly after Zhang Cang Feng, Bai Ning Shuang regains her senses.] [Bai Ning Shuang's expression differs from Zhang Cang Feng's; she seems uncertain, reflecting whether she should cultivate what she had perceived.] [Iron Fan is the last to awaken.] [Her eyes brimming with delight upon awakening, confirming her newfound insights.] [Seeing your group waiting for her, Iron Fan speaks up.] "I've just comprehended some profound mystical principles. Shall we find a serene place to sit and discuss?" [Agreeing with Iron Fan's suggestion, you nod appreciatively.] "An excellent idea." [Subsequently, your group departs from Chilian Gorge, flying toward another location.] [Eventually, you come across a place where peach blossoms are in full bloom—a secluded, picturesque location, prompting you to gather by a mountain pool for your exchange.] Hmm? Su Mo pauses in surprise. Isn't this place Peach Mountain? Wasn't Meng Hongshang just living here? What does this signify now? Does Meng Hongshang not reside here yet? If that's the case... Then, the timeline in this simulation could be before Meng Hongshang's era. How many centuries ago is unclear. If that's so, there might be no need to remember every relationship, treasure, and encounter from this period. With this realization, Su Mo gains a deeper understanding of entangled destiny. This time simulating several centuries back in the Immortal Realm. Whereas the previous reality simulation was the ancient era. Is it possible to simulate an era even before ancient times? If simulations can go that far back, what era preceded the ancient times? Reflecting on this for a while, Su Mo decides not to ponder further, turning his focus back to the simulation scene. [You openly share the mystical principles you’ve grasped; the others also convey the insights they've gathered.] [You cast a glance towards the third-generation disciples.] "Listen carefully, and comprehend what you can." [The disciples nod eagerly.] "Yes, Senior Brother." [Then, you, together with Iron Fan, Bai Ning Shuang, and Zhang Cang Feng, engage in mutual exchange.] [Your discourse revolves around the Primordial Sun Formula, Iron Fan discusses the Fiery Sunset Doctrine, Bai Ning Shuang speaks on the Cold Fire Technique, while Zhang Cang Feng elaborates on the Tri-Sun Scarlet Heart Mantra.] [After three days and nights of exchange, you feel you've gleaned abundant wisdom concerning cultivation.] [In cultivation, each person inherently possesses their own rationale.] [Exchanging and verifying with others fortifies your understanding of the "Bright Sun's True Interpretation."] [Iron Fan, Bai Ning Shuang, and Zhang Cang Feng all have gained significantly.] [The listening third-generation disciples are evidently gaining much knowledge.] [Iron Fan seems quite pleased, for through this exchange, she's conceived some exotic methods for controlling true fire in the world.] **[She was most eager to return to her clan and delve into her insights daily, hoping to turn her speculations into reality.]** [You hear of Iron Fan's departure, eyes filled with reluctance.] "Iron Fan, if I get the chance, may I visit you?" [Iron Fan blinks her eyes, chuckling softly.] "And what brings you to seek me out?" [Shamelessly, you reply.] "Of course, to have fun! Why, are you not welcoming?" [Iron Fan giggles warmly.] "Alright, alright! In that case, be sure to visit me for fun when you do." "I'll be waiting." "Farewell, everyone." [With those words, Iron Fan sails away on her palm-leaf fan, thinking you indeed are an interesting person, though she regrets having already been engaged to a demon king.] [If not for the engagement with that demon king, she might have been open to exploring a romance with you.] [However, meeting the right person at the wrong time is merely a fated misfortune.] [As she departs, it's as if your heart soars away with her.] [Bai Ning Shuang, observing all this, feels a pang of jealousy, unable to comprehend how Iron Fan has managed to steal your soul.] [After all, her own beauty is not inferior to Iron Fan's!] [Subsequently, you and your companions return to Shushan.] [Back in Shushan, during your training, Iron Fan's image often flits before your eyes.] [This distraction halts your progress.] [Your master, Elder Yisheng, soon notices the change in you.] [He inquires about your recent journey and experiences.] [Faced with his concern, you disclose everything about meeting Iron Fan.] [Elder Yisheng is surprised to learn you've fallen for the Asura Princess.] [Out of love for you, he reveals the circumstances regarding the Rakshasa Maiden.] [Two years ago, the Rakshasa Maiden was betrothed to a demon king by the Asura King, and this demon king commands a vast power, along with six formidable sworn brothers.] [Winning the Rakshasa Maiden's heart poses challenges beyond imagination!] [Yet, you absorb none of this except for the part about the engagement.] "Engagement? So what if she's engaged? Breaking it off isn't impossible!" *(End of Chapter)*
