Chapter 734: Chapter 734

Regarding the secret plans of her clan, Ning Feiyan generously shared everything with her. She seemed tired, lazily yawned, and continued,

"So, Zangxin is by no means a simple man, and he must have multiple identities in the Mortal World. If I hadn’t told you today, you probably wouldn’t know that there exists such a vile thing as the Black Rope Karma Water, would you?"

Su Jing pursed her lips, her gaze complex, "Indeed, I did not know. The events of that year had been schemed from the moment the three of us were born."

Ning Feiyan smiled leisurely and said, "I must admit, Zangxin played a clever game. Although Miss Yin was not harmed by the Black Rope Karma Water, it still caused the Taixuan Sect and the Tianxi Sword Sect to forever lose their successors."

With each word she spoke, the blood flowing through Su Jing’s body froze an inch, and her dark eyes swirled with an indescribable chill.

Ning Feiyan continued with a smile, "Curious about Zangxin’s plan? Come, let me enlighten the Young Sect Master."

She gracefully seated herself on the ground, picked up three withered leaves, and lightly said, "The Heavenly Prophecy foretold that three Sons of Heavenly Dao would appear in the Mortal World. Each born to inherit the Tianxi Thirteen Swords, the Taixuan Nine Classics, and the Cangwu Ten Hidden Palaces. But this doesn’t explain much.

Your father, Su Guanhai, along with Yin Dufeng and Lord Yu, could all inherit these. However, after their tribulation, they are only known as future Golden Immortals.

They had cultivated for a relatively short period. Indeed, three thousand-year-old immortals could dominate one region, pressing the Langya Demon Sect without the ability to retaliate.

Upon receiving their titles through tribulation, the Three Sects could channel the power of the Astral Soul and swiftly achieve True Immortal forms. Even the Demon Lord would find it challenging to disrupt the Mortal World.

These three were already causing great trouble in the Demon World. Yet, their births drew no heavenly signs, which shows how much Zangxin did not want the three of you to be successfully born."

Ning Feiyan crushed one of the leaves in her hand and continued, "Now, let’s talk about Sword Master Yu of the Tianxi Sword, who emerged during the degenerate era of the righteous path. He was originally a noble gentleman from the Mortal World, well-educated and excelling in both letters and martial arts. Due to the havoc wrought by the Demon Sect, he abandoned the pen to seek the Dao on the mountain.

Baili Yu, with both a superior Spirit Root and cultivation base, predictably became a disciple of the Dao Sect.

Over the next century, he practiced sword cultivation, studied ancient stone tablets, ascended Sword Mountain, and founded the Tianxi Sword Sect and the Thirteen Swords. In such an era dominated by the Demon Path, he befriended renowned scholars from various regions, gradually elevating the declining Immortal Sects.

In the eyes of the world, Young Master Yu lived a life of integrity, careful thought, and careful action, maintaining the noble Sword Dao in this harsh and cold world of men. He never left behind the slightest stain on the righteous path and was acclaimed as the foremost gentleman of his time.

However, later, this well-reputed gentleman married Empress Ji of the Central Netherworld Dynasty. Even today, many believe Yu sacrificed greatly by this marriage.

Despite the powerful forces of Central Netherworld, they fundamentally dealt with the dead and ghosts, a lineage of Ghost Cultivators. Moreover, tracing back the history of the Central Netherworld Dynasty, it originally split from a part of the Demon World.

Were it not for the inability of the Hundred Immortal Sects to counter the Central Netherworld, they would have expelled it from their lands and purified the area long ago, not to mention marrying the foremost head of the righteous Tianxi Sword Sect.

In the world’s view, Young Master Yu was a future Golden Immortal, and marrying a celestial goddess wouldn’t have been excessive. But to save the people and stabilize the war, he sacrificed his matrimonial path by marrying a woman of dubious status.

Yet, True to his reputation as a noble gentleman of the righteous path, despite his high position, being married, he remained alone, not taking another wife or concubine for hundreds of years."

Ning Feiyan’s words had been widely circulated across the Human Continent for many years, so Su Jing was not surprised she knew them.

However, she had to admit that what Ning Feiyan said greatly interested her.

Su Jing smoothed her clothes and sat down, sword resting on her knees, "What you’ve said is both right and wrong."

Ning Feiyan smiled, "Please enlighten me, Miss Su Jing."

Su Jing replied, "The marriage alliance between Tianxi and the Central Netherworld was initiated by Lady Ji, not the other way around. Why say he, a man, deeply suffered from this sacrifice?"

Ning Feiyan smiled and said, "But people only believe what they choose to believe."

Su Jing’s expression turned colder, her face sharp as if carved by a cold knife, "Speaking of the geopolitical situation at the time, the forces of Central Netherworld far surpassed the Three Sects. Without that marriage, considering the ferocity of the Demon Sect’s forces at the time, how could the three newly established leaders of the righteous path reverse such turmoil?

Though I didn’t participate in that great war between the righteous and Demon Paths, I’m aware that it lasted a hundred years in which the disciples and legacies of a hundred Immortal Sects were preserved.

On the other hand, the Central Netherworld Dynasty lost two of its six Yin Kings, and two hundred thousand Heroic Spirits were scattered far from home. Empress Ji suffered from the battle, damaging her Ghost Soul and her cultivation never recovered."

At the time, Ning Feiyan also participated, but she mainly dealt with the lineage of Cangwu Palace.

It was news to her that the Central Netherworld Dynasty had suffered such tremendous casualties in that war, even the Empress herself was fundamentally injured.

She understood the implicit meaning in Su Jing’s words and couldn’t help but laugh and shake her head, "It’s no wonder, back then, the Central Netherworld Dynasty was a thriving force. Even if the Langya Demon Sect developed prosperously and powerfully, it was difficult to shake the well-established foundations of Central Netherworld."
