Chapter 2094: Chapter 2361: Setting Foot in the Double Lotus Sect! (First Update)
...
"I hope you don’t blame me. Actually, Shi Han is no longer the worldly Xu Shihan. She is now the Qinglian Empress, ruling over the world with eternal youth and immortality!"
Ren Feifan’s first reaction upon hearing this was a blank mind.
How did Xu Shihan inexplicably become the Qinglian Empress?
He was extremely clear about this girl’s strength.
It’s absolutely impossible for her to become an empress!
The old man saw Ren Feifan’s disbelief and added, "If I told you Shi Han’s current cultivation was even more terrifying than yours, would you believe it?"
Ren Feifan certainly didn’t believe it!
His cultivation started late, and relying on mysterious spaces, he gradually stepped into his current realm.
But Xu Shihan’s cultivation started even later than his; how could she surpass him?
This was entirely nonsense.
But at this moment, the old man’s demeanor seemed to confirm that both statements were true.
"Shi Han is now in the Double Lotus Sect? Has become the Qinglian Empress of the Double Lotus Sect?" Ren Feifan asked proactively.
The old man nodded, "I once calculated this scene, but I never thought it would happen so quickly. I expected it would be a hundred years later, but it started this year. The game I once set up has been completely shattered. Destiny Master, I can’t even control my granddaughter’s fate. What kind of nonsensical Destiny Master am I!"
The old man became more emotional as he spoke, his face tinged with a bit of angry redness.
"Old man, if I remember correctly, you always arranged the game with me as the one to break it. So, can I save this game?" Ren Feifan asked.
"Save?" The old man glanced at Ren Feifan and laughed self-deprecatingly, "I can’t determine your destiny, always. But this game is too big, Shi Han has already transcended control. If you insist on entering this game, you may end up covered in wounds, unable to even control your own fate... That’s it."
The old man spoke with a sense of helplessness.
"The Double Lotus Sect is a major sect of the Hidden Gate, with a long history. Its strength ranks among the top in the Hidden Gate. Do you know what it means to become the Qinglian Empress of the Double Lotus Sect? Shi Han no longer belongs to herself; she belongs to the Double Lotus Sect. The upcoming events are like a game of chess, the path is blocked, and Shi Han has no choice."
"Also, I saw Shi Han from afar last week. If I’m not mistaken, the reason her cultivation has skyrocketed is probably because a supreme expert of the Double Lotus Sect transferred all their cultivation to Shi Han.
This is akin to forcing growth. In the short term, it naturally turns Shi Han into a formidable force, but over time, the pain she will face will only increase, and her realm may never break through that critical point in her lifetime. Even..."
Ren Feifan’s face paled!
He really didn’t understand!
Why would Shi Han do this?
Is it because she was influenced by that woman inside her body?
Ren Feifan’s fist clenched tightly. If that is truly the case, he wouldn’t mind completely destroying that woman in this world!
"Even what! Old man, make it clear!"
Ren Feifan’s voice carried a hint of coldness.
The old man snatched the wine from Ren Feifan’s hand, gulped down a mouthful, and said seriously, "Even her body will be affected. She was originally a mortal body, but now she has to bear such powerful cultivation and True Qi inside. Over time, the consequences will be unimaginable.
This Secret Technique had already been lost in the Ancient Era, but it’s been unexpectedly mastered by those folks in the Double Lotus Sect, and used on Shi Han.
However, this Secret Technique must be applied with Shi Han’s subjective consent. I truly don’t understand why Shi Han, knowing the danger, would still want to try? Is she really disregarding her life!"
Ren Feifan realized the seriousness of the situation.
"Old man, how can Shi Han be saved? Can her cultivation be completely dissipated, restoring her original state?"
The old man pondered for several seconds, took a sip of wine, and replied, "Impossible, this Secret Technique comes from the Ancient Era and is too far in the past now. Too few people know about it, and it’s unlikely there will be a method to extract the cultivation and restore the original state."
"The Ancient Era? It doesn’t feel far at all to me." Ren Feifan’s lips curved into a smile, then he summoned the Ancient Kylin with a wave, "Senior, could you come over?"
The old man glanced at the Ancient Kylin, puzzled, "From the start I’ve felt as if I can’t see through this person, could he have lived for a thousand years?"
Ren Feifan sneered, shaking his head, "He’s been around since the Ancient Era, and is even an ancient divine beast!"
Hearing this, the old man’s entire face turned pale.
"How can it be?"
How could a divine beast of the Ancient Era be beside Ren Feifan?
The key was that there was no trace of divine beast aura or cultivation on him!
Seconds later, the Ancient Kylin sat beside Ren Feifan, "What’s the matter?"
Ren Feifan explained Xu Shihan’s situation, and the Ancient Kylin’s brows furrowed slightly, "I have indeed heard of this technique. In that era, many strong cultivators nearing the end of their lives transferred their cultivation to the next generation. Initially, it seemed promising, but gradually they found those next generations wouldn’t live past twenty years. The human body has a certain threshold, and this action forces it beyond that threshold, naturally causing great impacts on the body."
"Can this technique be reversed?" Ren Feifan asked seriously.
The Ancient Kylin thought for a long time before saying, "It seems there were indeed successful reversals, although I don’t know who accomplished it or how, but there is someone who might know."
Ren Feifan’s previously dejected eyes suddenly brightened, "Who?"
"The Ancient Vermilion Bird."
Ren Feifan now almost knew the whereabouts of all the Locking Divinity Arrays, except for the Vermilion Bird!
It is said the Vermilion Bird can manipulate space and hide anywhere, making its search the most difficult among all the Locking Divinity Arrays.
But now Ren Feifan had no choice but to search.
The three fell into contemplation, not knowing what they were thinking, as the atmosphere became somewhat quiet.
The old man broke the silence, saying, "I also know some things about the Locking Divinity Arrays. Since it’s related to the Ancient Vermilion Bird, I will use my powers to try to find it. If there’s news, I’ll get in touch with you.
For now, go back. Don’t go to the Double Lotus Sect. You won’t be able to see Shi Han."
Ren Feifan stood up and directly stated, "Since I’ve come to the Double Lotus Sect, I must see Xu Shihan! Even if I can’t take her away, I have to try."
With those words, Ren Feifan didn’t board the carriage but stepped directly to the nearby peak.
The old man watched Ren Feifan’s departing figure and shook his head helplessly, "Why doesn’t this lad listen? Just by going to the Double Lotus Sect impulsively, he’ll end up covered in wounds! In the end, Shi Han still won’t meet him!"
