Chapter 129: Wushi's Dark Past

Chapter 129: Wushi's Dark Past

Three years later, the six-year-old Wushi finally stepped out of the Yaochi Holy Land.

From this day on, a new legend would rise, his radiance illuminating the ages.

Before leaving, Shaohua’s incarnation imparted to Wushi all the scriptures she and her mother had created for the Innate Holy Body Dao Embryo, urging him to study and cultivate diligently.

"I am just an imprint, unable to leave this place, so I cannot accompany you on your journey. Both of your parents are still alive; your mother’s imprint remains in the Yaochi Holy Sanctuary. You must find her when the time comes."

Shaohua’s incarnation rambled on about many trivial matters, all of which she had already covered over the past three years, making repetition unnecessary.

"Oh, right. In this life, you will have a rival, personally arranged by your true self, an embodiment of the Undying Elixir. His talent will be no less than yours, so you must strive hard and not let him surpass you."

"I won’t lose!" Wushi nodded, a glint of determination in his eyes, his resolve unwavering, and the blood in his veins began to surge.

No matter who the opponent was, he would not let his sister down; he would never lose!

He would defeat everyone, including the Undying Elixir and the Celestial Emperor Venerable!

Meanwhile, in the Central Plains, the waves of the Immortal Pool shimmered, and a Primordial Green Lotus suddenly trembled, flashing with light and transforming into a slender figure.

"Hmm~ Why do I suddenly feel a chill? The water temperature hasn’t changed, has it?" Wanqing furrowed his handsome brow, muttering to himself.

He emerged, exceptionally beautiful, especially considering his young age. He hadn’t fully matured, and while his beauty was undeniable, he could be described as a graceful young man.

A perfect, handsome youth!

Two and a half years had passed, and Shaohua’s incarnation, who had taken Wanqing, had completed her task and dissipated. The rest of the journey was left to him.

Shaohua wasn’t worried about the Celestial Emperor Venerable causing trouble again. Could the Celestial Emperor Venerable even predict the destination of the Nine Dragon Coffin? Even she didn’t know where it would end up.

As for the Celestial Emperor Venerable continuing to watch over this world, would Wushi and Wanqing be in danger?

That would depend on when the Celestial Emperor Venerable could recover from his injuries. If he wasn’t careful and took a nap, those two might already have grown significantly.

Thus, Shaohua chose not to delay Wushi and Wanqing’s emergence, as this might be the safest time.

Within three to five centuries, these two would surely achieve enlightenment and become emperors, with no unforeseen events hindering them!

Wanqing was to emerge half a year earlier. His talent was extraordinary, and in just a few years, he had traversed the Central Plains, stirring up storms.

Half a year after Wanqing’s emergence, Wushi left the Yaochi Holy Land and was immediately sensed by the Immortal Tears Verdant Gold Pagoda, which trembled with the recognition of its master’s bloodline and awakened on its own.

Wushi was then welcomed back by the people of the Yaochi Holy Sanctuary.

However, a problem arose: the Yaochi Holy Sanctuary only accepted female disciples.

"This is the son of the Western Sovereign and the brother of the Eastern Sovereign, destined to become an emperor. Are you really going to stick to your rules and refuse to accept him?"

"But the rules were set by the Western Sovereign and the Eastern Sovereign. The Yaochi Holy Sanctuary only accepts female disciples. We can support him fully, but the rules cannot be broken."

"Stop arguing! I found a record in one of the sanctuary’s ancient texts. The true first holy maiden of Yaochi had a different name, the same as our young master!"

Amidst the elders’ heated debate, someone remembered something and actually found the relevant records.

"Before the Chaos Era Emperor achieved enlightenment, the first holy lord and holy maiden of our sanctuary emerged and fought the ultimate battle. Though they were defeated, they returned to the sanctuary once, leaving behind some words."

"Yes, I remember that. They said the true first holy lord of Yaochi was the Eastern Sovereign, and the first holy maiden was someone else."

The elders of Yaochi were taken aback, and they even sought confirmation from the sanctuary’s archives, which verified the story.

"Quickly, take me to see the young master!" A Great Sage personally went to meet Wushi, tears streaming down her face upon seeing him.

After learning the full story, Wushi, holding the Little White Tiger, was speechless. Finally, he managed to say, "Actually, you could have just asked me."

Could he have been clearer about not being the holy maiden of Yaochi?

Back then, he was too young and naive, only caring about pleasing his sister. But now, he was no longer a toddler but a six-year-old child.

Faced with his dark past, Wushi vowed to bury that history one day.

"Wait, you want me to be the holy maiden of Yaochi?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, you can forget it!"

"I would rather jump off a cliff and leave the Yaochi Holy Sanctuary than agree to that."

"Hey, this dress is quite nice, isn’t it?"

That year, the Yaochi Holy Sanctuary gained a new holy maiden, though very young, she was exceptionally intelligent and learned quickly, breaking all sorts of records set by previous generations.

Soon, the sanctuary could no longer satisfy Wushi. The peaceful environment was not suitable for him.

He needed to venture into a broader world, to challenge the heavens and the earth, to achieve enlightenment sooner, to find his sister, and to avenge her!

"First, I will go to the Mountainside Sect in the Zishan Mountains, then to the Undying Mountains in the Central Region, where my sister once spent a long time."

With the sound of a distant bell, Wushi left the Yaochi Holy Sanctuary.

During his three years in the holy land, he had already refined his own artifact using the treasures from the chaotic stone.

"I will go to the Eastern Wasteland. My senior sister is from the Yaochi Holy Sanctuary, and the Undying Mountains, a Vitality Forbidden Zone, is also there." On the other side, Wanqing also set out, his true appearance having been discovered. He was too young, attracting many envious eyes who believed he harbored great secrets. Without revealing his background, he often faced assassination attempts.

The Central Plains were no longer safe, so he needed to find a new place to continue his cultivation. The Eastern Wasteland was clearly where he wanted to go.

The only thing that troubled him was that anyone who saw his true face invariably mistook his gender.

Some even had ulterior motives, but they ended up with broken heads.

In this era where cultivation was increasingly difficult, even a saint in the Big Dipper Realm was hard to come by.

Yet, two exceptionally young individuals emerged, defying all norms and achieving feats that seemed impossible.

People said that the Eastern Wasteland and the Central Plains had simultaneously produced two extraordinary talents, both around ten years old, whose strength far surpassed that of many older cultivators.

Both of them had the potential to become emperors!

The appearance of these two individuals in the Big Dipper Realm dimmed the luster of all other geniuses, making them seem like dust in comparison, unable to catch up to the two.

Later, the two met unexpectedly before the Undying Mountains.
