Chapter 97: Innate Holy Body Dao Embryo, Am I My Own Daughter?

Chapter 97: Innate Holy Body Dao Embryo, Am I My Own Daughter?

No matter how the world outside changed, the Yaochi Holy Ground remained tranquil and unaltered.

Shaohua entered a deeper realm of enlightenment. She continued to age, and in this life, she had already lived for over forty thousand years.

In reality, she could have lived even longer, but she had chosen to cut short her lifespan.

Wasn’t that bold?

Because in her next life, she planned a final and ultimate transformation, one that would also make up for her past regrets.

She was even eager for it!

"Thought is the light of the divine, thought is eternal, thought is the transient." Her murmurs echoed softly, resonating around the Immortal Pool, and finally merging into a single phrase.

"Thought is existence."

In her first life, she reincarnated into this world and was reborn.

In her second life, she sought life in death, understanding the mysteries of life and death, and reversed her fate.

In her third life, she consumed the Elixir of Immortality, accumulating a profound foundation, but there was little transformation.

In her fourth life, she leveraged the accumulations of three lifetimes to cultivate the essence of immortality.

In her fifth life, she returned to her roots, regaining the bloodline she had severed herself, reversing her innate nature, and recreating the Holy Body Dao Embryo.

Indeed, in her fifth life, Shaohua reclaimed the bloodline she had severed, reversing her innate nature and reconstructing the Holy Body Dao Embryo.

She was the descendant of a Holy Body and an Innate Dao Embryo, but due to some inexplicable error, she had not fully inherited these two constitutions in her first life.

Later, she had severed it herself, returning the bloodline to her parents to save them and alter their fates.

But what was hers would always be hers.

Could severing really make everything from the past disappear?

She was still herself, and her body had never changed from the beginning.

The deepest source of her bloodline was reclaimed, and within her old body, a new life was born.

Her past regrets were finally resolved, and from her aged body emerged a true Innate Holy Body Dao Embryo.

Thought is existence!

She believed she should have the Innate Holy Body Dao Embryo, and thus she truly possessed it.

This marked the completion of the Existence Formula she had diligently studied for tens of thousands of years.

Shaohua was reborn, and at this moment, her Dao and techniques also underwent a transformation, reaching a new pinnacle!

She also lifted the Eternal Formula that had been maintained for forty thousand years, and even released the suppression of her Great Dao by the Immortal Bell.

Because she no longer needed it.

The ultimate transformation she sought was not just about becoming an Innate Holy Body Dao Embryo.

It was about abandoning all her divine techniques, laws, and Dao cultivation at her peak, and starting over, retracing her path of cultivation!

Subtraction and emptiness were aimed at reaching the strongest secret technique she had envisioned.

Not only "thought is existence", but also "thought is nothingness."

Eternal and transient, existence and nothingness.

In a single thought, all the Dao paths became empty. She transformed everything she had achieved into nothing, starting anew, completely reborn.

This was a significant attempt, pushing her already peak Dao and techniques to a higher level, a bold move indeed!

"Eighty thousand years of cultivation scattered, turning back into a mortal in an instant. This feeling is truly wonderful." Shaohua extended her hand, a faint smile on her lips.

A sense of ease and freedom naturally arose, making her mindset feel much younger.

Indeed, her body had also shrunk significantly, appearing to be only eleven or twelve years old.

From a mature woman to a young girl, from a powerful lady to a cute little girl.

"Even small, you're still adorable~"

The Worldblade circled around Shaohua, the divine artifact emitting a joyful laugh.

"Planning a rebellion?" Shaohua rolled her eyes and grabbed the long sword, which was almost as tall as her, and tossed it into the Immortal Pool.

The power from her previous life had not vanished; most of it had been used to refine the sword, advancing the Worldblade significantly on its path to becoming an Immortal Artifact.

Now, Shaohua was left with only a green feather robe and a pendant of Immortal Tears Viridian Gold.

The green feather robe was one of the two robes crafted from the feathers of the Undying Heavenly Sovereign, originally intended for her mother, and the other for the Empress of the Ruthless.

However, the Empress disliked the colorful items, so she later separated the red, green, yellow, purple, and white phoenix feathers, weaving the white phoenix feathers into a robe for the Empress.

The purple phoenix feathers became the Yin-Yang Violet Edict Immortal Robe worn by Liuyan, while the green feather robe was kept for herself.

As for the Immortal Tears Viridian Gold Pendant, it was crafted by her mother from the leftover materials of the Immortal Tears Viridian Gold Tower, holding great significance for her. It was a cherished item she had always carried with her.

"Hmm, the world seems to be in turmoil during my seclusion."

Shaohua was not completely unaware of the outside world. She had sensed several intense battles breaking out, involving supreme beings.

Her backup plans from the past had also been activated, but their effects were not as good as expected?

Perhaps the Forbidden Realms had some precautions in place.

At the last moment before she emerged with her sword, she had seen through the world with a single glance.

"The Emperor Path Struggle has reached its final stage, and they have already breached the Emperor’s Gate. I was a step too late." Shaohua sighed lightly.

Missing this golden era was somewhat regrettable.

At this moment, there was some commotion outside the Yaochi Holy Ground.

Several women gracefully approached, all dressed in white, with extraordinary beauty and formidable cultivation, each a Sage, and the leader a Sage Empress.

"Queen Mother, why have you urgently summoned us to this old place?" someone asked, puzzled.

"Yes, we used to be able to enter with our tokens, but the old place has been sealed for thousands of years. Could something have changed?" another speculated.

The current Holy Master of Yaochi, also known as Queen Mother Xi, nodded solemnly and said, "A secret treasure just revealed that the presence of the Eastern Emperor's Great Dao has appeared in the old place, so I came to investigate."

Upon hearing this, the others' expressions changed slightly.

Others might have long forgotten that the Yaochi Holy Ground had once relocated, but as elders of Yaochi, they naturally knew the past events.

Before the shocking divine battle with the Undying Heavenly Sovereign, the Eastern Emperor had already foreseen the situation and made his disciples relocate and act low-key afterward.

After the old place experienced a change, the Eastern Emperor had left behind guidance, so they were not overly panicked and smoothly completed the transition.

The current Yaochi Holy Ground is where the Eastern Emperor's former palace once stood.

But whether the changes in the old place are good or bad remains uncertain, causing them all to feel uneasy.

Queen Mother Xi respectfully brought out the Immortal Tears Viridian Gold Tower, preparing to use the imperial weapon to forcibly open the old place.

To their surprise, the seal on the old place had already returned to its original state, and with their cultivation in the Western Emperor's Scripture, they could easily enter.

Then, the Immortal Tears Viridian Gold Tower flew away on its own.

The women's faces immediately turned pale, and they hurriedly followed it, only to find their path unimpeded all the way to the legendary Yaochi spring.

There, they saw a girl who seemed to embody the essence of heaven and earth, gently caressing an ancient tea tree.

The girl had rosy lips, white teeth, a delicate nose, and a pair of serene eyes. Her entire being seemed to emanate a radiant glow, like the most perfect jade, without a single flaw, as if she were a celestial being.

The Immortal Tears Viridian Gold Tower autonomously awakened, hovering above the girl's head, showering her with countless threads of light.

Shaohua's eyes curved into a smile as she reached out to receive her mother's imperial weapon, embracing it as if reuniting with a long-lost family member.

The others were dumbfounded.

That was an ultimate imperial weapon left by the Western Emperor, how could it be casually handled like a toy?

Even if other emperors were present, the imperial weapon's spirit would fiercely resist unless it recognized the person and had a very close relationship with them!

"Whoa, doesn't that little girl look a bit like the Empress Mother?"

"Don't be ridiculous, the Empress Mother only has one daughter, the Eastern Emperor. But it's said she has a younger son."

"You think it's possible she could be the Eastern Emperor's daughter?"

At this, everyone's eyes widened in shock.

They all remembered that ancient records in the holy ground mentioned the Eastern Emperor bringing back a young girl after living her second life, who bore a striking resemblance to her!

Exchanging glances, they all understood each other's thoughts.

There was no doubt that only one possibility existed: the girl who could trigger the Eastern Emperor's Great Dao, awaken the Immortal Tears Viridian Gold Tower, and play with it so casually, while also bearing a striking resemblance to both the Western and Eastern Emperors, could only be—

The daughter of the Eastern Emperor!

Shaohua tilted her head, her long black hair cascading over her shoulder, puzzled by why these young girls kept gasping.

If they keep this up, they'll suck all the essence of heaven and earth dry.

She even recognized them as the last batch of disciples who entered the old Yaochi grounds thousands of years ago, whom she had once cleansed of impurities on their immortal platforms with her Worldblade.

"We pay our respects to the Little Ancestor!" the girls suddenly bowed.

Shaohua blinked, her long, delicate lashes fluttering like raven feathers, her bright eyes flashing with a hint of confusion.

Technically, being called the Little Ancestor wasn't entirely inappropriate, but she was certain these girls were misunderstanding something.

"Did I become my own daughter?" Shaohua thought, trying not to laugh.

She also understood why she had been summoned: the first reason was that the restrictions she had set up had naturally lifted, and the second was that the Worldblade had "accidentally" leaked its aura.

Glancing at the calm surface of the pool, she decided to avoid trouble for now.

After all, she was really quite weak right now.

After some thought, Shaohua decided not to argue.

She couldn't exactly say, "Your old ancestor has actually never died and is now back as a child to see you all."

Admitting she was her own daughter seemed like a better option.

She didn't care about these titles; in fact, she found it quite amusing. Living for so long, one had to find some entertainment.

Besides, she hadn't admitted to anything; it was all in their heads.

"Sit down, and tell me about the current situation", Shaohua said, pointing to the green grass beneath her feet.

The Yaochi female saints didn't hesitate, sitting down and recounting the current state of the world.

Since the death of the Great Emperor of the Universe, the world had enjoyed over five thousand years of peace, followed by unusual movements from several forbidden realms.

Then, the Holy Body Lin Dong emerged, rapidly rising to prominence with the help of the Yaochi Holy Ground and the Back Mountain Sect, becoming a formidable force.

Unfortunately, good times didn't last. Soon, powerful figures began emerging from the forbidden realms, some even on the verge of enlightenment, wielding supreme artifacts.

The Holy Body Lin Dong now had enemies!
