After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Chapter 466 What if the legend is true?

Xuan Ling propped herself up on the edge of the bed and slowly sat up, her eyes filled with deep sorrow as she looked at Jiang Liqian.

"Senior Sister, it's a certain death sentence..."

Jiang Liqian rushed over and covered his mouth.

"Shut up!"

The thunderclouds, which had gathered immense power to kill the one who had revealed the secrets of heaven, suddenly fell silent. In no time, the sky returned to its original state, clear and cloudless.

Startled, Jiang Liqian released her grip and staggered backward. Suddenly, she seemed to understand something, but then she was immediately plunged into an even greater mystery.

"So, Jiang Huaizhou and the others..."

“Only Jiang Huaizhou.” Xuan Ling admitted frankly, “I only contacted him, I used him. He has always respected Senior Sister. I only told him that you would die, and he decided to help me.”

"Senior Sister, if you must hate someone, hate me, don't hate anyone else."

Jiang Liqian stared at him with a complicated expression, and after a long while, she asked, "How did you know that I..."

Xuan Ling had no intention of hiding it from her; things had already come to this point, and there was no point in concealing it any longer.

Or rather, when he saw her vanish before his very eyes, nothing else mattered.

His obsession, his infatuation, his resentment, his hatred... all became meaningless.

"At that time, I had a big fight with you, Senior Sister, and left the sect in a huff. By chance, I ended up down there..."

"They've gone..."

Several times I tried to speak, but each time the words were about to come out of my mouth, it felt as if they were blocked.

He immediately understood what was going on.

His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he changed his words: "Senior Sister, do you still remember the 'heavenly book' you told me about?"

Jiang Li said softly, "That's just a vague legend."

"What if the legend is true?"

Jiang Liqian was silent.

Xuan Ling looked into her eyes with utmost seriousness: "Senior Sister, it's no use going to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. Even if they dare to make predictions about you, the Heavenly Dao will not allow them to reveal heavenly secrets. If you really want to unravel all the mysteries surrounding you, you have to find this Heavenly Book and open it yourself."

"Perhaps at that time, all your doubts will be answered."

Jiang Liqian stared at his face in shock several times. She had never imagined that he would keep such a secret in his heart.

She never imagined that he could see through her purpose in coming down the mountain.

That's right, the Heavenly Spirit Gathering was just a small interlude in her journey down the mountain. Her ultimate goal was to go to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and seek help from the Pavilion Master to find answers to all the strange occurrences that had happened to her.

"Have you ever seen a celestial book?"

"The Heavenly Book has found me."

"Where is it?"

"...I'm sorry, Senior Sister, I can't tell you..."

Jiang Liqian pursed her lips tightly, her face turning pale and then pale, her brows furrowed even more.

She glanced at Xuan Ling again, then turned and left without saying a word.

"Senior Sister, with gain comes loss; this is an eternal truth of the universe."

"Forcing things will only hurt yourself!"

Jiang Liqian paused for a moment, then pushed open the door.

At the entrance, Jiang Huaizhou, dressed in an indigo robe, leaned quietly against the wall, holding his sword.

Hearing the door open, he turned his gaze over.

Jiang Liqian was slightly taken aback.

She had placed a spell on the house, so he shouldn't have heard anything. What was he waiting here for?

"Is something wrong?"

Jiang Huaizhou lowered his head: "I was afraid that my second senior brother's rudeness last night would make my eldest senior sister cripple him in a fit of anger, so I'm guarding him here."

Jiang Li paused for a moment, unsure how to respond.

Admittedly, she did have such thoughts.

"Senior Sister, are you... really not coming to Sword Peak?"

Jiang Liqian flicked her sleeve and walked out.

“Tell Xuan Ling that no matter the reason, the debt is hard to repay. He'd better not appear in front of me again. Whether I live or die is none of his business, nor is it yours. Letting him go once doesn’t mean I’ll let him go a second time.”

"Sister!"

......................................................

That night, Jiang Liqian had a bizarre and fantastical dream.

"Senior sister, you can't stay here. Come with me, let's leave, let's leave far away from everything here. Demons, monsters, and all living beings are irrelevant to us. Our power is so insignificant, it's utterly useless. Please listen to me, senior sister, let's go!"

"This is destiny. Destiny wants us to be together. Do you know the price of defying destiny?"

"I'm sorry, Junior Brother. Tianqian Sect is my home. I can't just watch it be destroyed before my eyes. So many displaced people, they shouldn't have died under the clutches of evil. There have been far too many cries, day and night, without a single interruption..."

"Senior sister! Senior sister!"

"Why, why, even after going back once, can't I change your fate..."

"Are you really willing to give up everything for them?"

"...they won't even know your name."

"Yes, I'm willing, at any cost."

"Destiny has been decided, and the way of Heaven cannot be changed."

The Ye family is a highly prestigious clan in the cultivation world, and the Heavenly Spirit Gathering, which they organized, was undoubtedly a grand affair. On the day of the Heavenly Spirit Gathering, Ye City was already packed with people. Countless cultivators from all directions came to pay their respects, not to mention the numerous sects and families, large and small, who came to support and participate in the Heavenly Spirit Gathering.

It was a sea of ​​people, shoulder to shoulder, and fights could break out at even the smallest alleyways over who should go first.

As Ye An'an's specially invited guest, Jiang Liqian had arranged for her to have the best viewing platform by the window overlooking the lake. Xu You'an, Shui Lian'er, and the others naturally joined in as well.

The tall pavilion faces the stage where the Heavenly Spirit Gathering is held. Every spirit beast participating in the Heavenly Spirit Gathering will be displayed on the stage, and professional members of the Ye family will explain each of the spirit beasts. Then, these spirit beasts will be placed in a huge, artificially landscaped courtyard. People can see all kinds of spirit beasts by walking along the path in the middle.

If you find a spirit beast that you like and that spirit beast also chooses, you can take your favorite spirit beast home after paying the spirit stones.

As the warm-hearted organizers, the Ye family will also thoughtfully include a guide on raising and taming the spirit beast. Further services can be negotiated for different price points using spirit stones.

If you lack experience in taming beasts and want to ask someone from the Ye family for guidance, or if you don't know how to form a bond with a spirit beast, how to communicate with it, or what it likes to eat... the Ye family can help you solve any problem related to spirit beasts as long as you can afford the price.

As a specially invited guest, Jiang Liqian did not need to go downstairs to choose a spirit beast herself.
