Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Chapter 1093 The Method to Overcome Tribulation is Abandonment

The flickering lamp does not shine alone for a thousand years; the secrets hidden for a thousand years will eventually reappear.

The Xuan Yu Coffin of the founder of the Xuan Nu Sect of Qingwei Mountain is a seal, as is the founder, Fairy Ling Shuang. Fairy Ling Shuang sealed the spirit of the Dark Realm with her own body.

In other words, once Fairy Ling Shuang passed away, the spirit of the Netherworld would no longer spread, and those three flames were to prevent the power of the spirit of the Netherworld from overflowing from Fairy Ling Shuang's body.

Of course, there was a price to pay. Those three flames were actually three divine senses, meaning they were consuming the overflowing spirit of the Dark Realm with their own divine sense power.

The Three Flames have been waiting for Huang Xiyi for a thousand years. To be precise, they are waiting for a saintess recognized by the Qingwei Xuanyu Sword. However, Huang Xiyi is no longer a Xuan Yin body, which truly confuses the Three Flames.

Before the Xuanyu Platform, Huang Xiyi slowly finished her practice. Looking at the three flames and the Xuanyu Platform, she thought of the Soul Devouring Cave in Manghuang. This place really had a similar effect to the Soul Devouring Cave.

Huang Xiyi pondered whether this was a coincidence or destiny. The Qingwei Xuanyu Sword was retrieved from the Soul Devouring Cave, after all. This seemed too much of a coincidence!

"Can you three stop arguing? Can you tell me what's going on?"

Huang Xiyi was speechless. Inside the Soul Devouring Cave, she encountered Ancestor Xuanku, who had been arguing between the two halves for five hundred years. Now, the three flames around the Xuanyu Platform seemed to be arguing for even longer.

"Even a woman who forgets love is still a woman of love; she is in the realm of love, whether in life or death. Since you have love in your heart, you shouldn't have come here!"

"The answer you seek lies within fate; this place is likely a calamity for you!"

"The things within your ancestor's body need to be sealed by the Xuan Yin Qi. In other words, your ancestor needs the power of the Xuan Yin Qi within you to reseal the Netherworld Spirit within her!"

Huang Xiyi looked at Da Huang in shock; only Da Huang's words had any effect.

"You...you mean the patriarch's remains are a seal?"

"It can't really be called a remains. We don't know if she's dead or alive. She simply used her body to seal the spirit of the Netherworld!"

"There should be two consciousnesses within her at this moment: one is her own, which is in a state of death, and the other is the spirit of the Netherworld!"

"The spirit of the Netherworld attempted to invade your ancestor's consciousness to control her. Your ancestor tried many methods, but in the end, she could only pass away, so that the spirit of the Netherworld would never be able to control her body again!"

Huang Xiyi pondered the words of the three flames, and after a moment, said softly:

"You mean that my ancestor's body is a cage without divine consciousness, which, although it traps the spirit of the Netherworld, cannot destroy it, and she herself is trapped inside?"

"Girl, you're very smart!"

"You're pretty, but you really shouldn't have come here!"

"You don't possess the Profound Yin Breath, so you can't help your ancestor!"

Huang Xiyi glanced at the three flames.

"The ancestral master's last instructions did not mention anything about the Mysterious Yin Body!"

"Hey, how can you be so shameless? You are the Holy Maiden of the Xuan Nu Sect, you should be of the Xuan Yin body!"

"You have been recognized by the Xuanyu Sword, you are undoubtedly a Holy Maiden!"

"How could the Holy Maiden of the Xuan Nu Sect be incomplete? Shouldn't you be imprisoned? How can you still be the Holy Maiden?"

Huang Xiyi was slightly startled; these three flames were surprisingly familiar with the affairs of the Xuan Nu Sect of Qingwei Mountain.

According to the rules of the Xuan Nu Sect of Qingwei Mountain, she should indeed be stripped of her title as Holy Maiden and imprisoned in the Cold Moon Tower. However, she is engaged to the Ji family and is about to get married. Her Xuan Yin Body will undoubtedly be broken, and a new Holy Maiden will be chosen after she marries into the Ji family in Zhongzhou.

According to the rules of the sect, Huang Xiyi has violated the rules, but since the Qingwei Mountain Xuan Nu Sect chose to marry the Holy Maiden to a distant place, that is also a violation of the rules!

"The Xuan Nu Sect wants to marry me off to the Ji family, which violates the Xuan Nu Sect's principle of detachment from emotions. I have come here to ask the patriarch for a way to break free from this emotional tribulation!"

"Hmph, the Ji family, where did they come from, and where are they going?"

"The Xuan Nu Sect's actions are understandable; it's about returning to one's roots!"

"It was not wrong for the Xuan Nu Sect of Qingwei Mountain to be brought under the control of the Ji family. The general trend of the world is that after a long period of division, there will be unity, and after a long period of unity, there will be division!"

Huang Xiyi felt a little dizzy. She couldn't understand what she was saying, so she bowed slightly.

"Gentlemen, can you please explain yourselves clearly?"

"Girl, Dahuang was your ancestor's dog. Don't you find its scent familiar?"

"You don't even recognize the aura of the Holy Emperor's Technique?"

"You two shut up! A thousand years ago, I was a dog, but now I am a guardian of souls, and I have nothing to do with dogs!"

Huang Xiyi could certainly sense that Da Huang's aura was the Saint Emperor's Technique. She knew it as soon as she entered the Xuan Yu Coffin, and she had been wondering about it ever since!

Xiaoqing's aura was similar to the cultivation techniques of the Xuan Nu Sect of Qingwei Mountain; it was a Taoist aura. Huang Xiyi didn't know Xiaobai's aura, which appeared very ethereal and pure.

"Could you three please explain in more detail? I... I don't know anything!"

"It's very simple. Your ancestor was a member of the Ji family, so it's not wrong for the Xuan Nu Sect to belong to the Ji family!"

"It's a bit of a pity, a thousand-year-old tradition, it's not easy to pass it on!"

"The master's original intention was to remain outside the Ji family and protect the Ji family's Yunxia Mountain royal family in another way!"

Huang Xiyi was shocked and took three steps back, leaning against the coffin wall.

"You're saying the founder of the Xuan Nu Sect on Mount Qingwei was a member of the Ji family? And that the Xuan Nu Sect exists to protect the Ji family? How is that possible? Aren't all members of the Ji family practitioners of the Holy Emperor's Technique?"

Huang Xiyi was actually somewhat devastated. Marrying into the Ji family might not be so simple. Someone in the Ji family was trying to annex the Xuan Nu Sect, or rather, someone in the Ji family knew the true meaning of the existence of the Xuan Nu Sect on Qingwei Mountain.

"Girl, the Ji family and the Ji family of Yunxia Mountain are not the same. The Xuan Nu Sect of Qingwei Mountain truly protects the Ji family of Yunxia Mountain! The Xuan Nu Sect cultivates the Way of Forgetting Emotions. Do you know why? Your ancestor left the Ji family of Yunxia Mountain because she fell in love. She felt guilty and sought the method of forgetting emotions so that she could return to Yunxia Mountain one day. The Ji family of Yunxia Mountain upholds the Way of Heartlessness!"

This is what Da Huang said. Da Huang and Fairy Ling Shuang came from Yunxia Mountain of the Ji family.

"Girl, your heart has been moved by love; this is the true calamity for the Xuan Nu Sect of Qingwei Mountain!"

"If the Xuan Nu Sect were to return to the Ji family, there might still be a glimmer of hope, but you fell in love, and you've destroyed that glimmer of hope!"

"The Ji family's Yunxia Mountain royal family will not accept someone who has fallen in love. Since the Ji family wants to marry you, it means that someone must know the true purpose of the Xuan Nu Sect, and someone is targeting the Ji family's Yunxia Mountain royal family!"

Huang Xiyi certainly didn't care about the Ji family's Yunxia Mountain royal family. Even if her ancestor came from there, what she wanted to protect was the Xuan Nu Sect of Qingwei Mountain, which had been passed down for thousands of years. It wasn't the fourteenth member of the Ji family!

There is indeed a saying in the martial arts world that the Xuan Nu Sect of Qingwei Mountain is the fourteenth member of the Ji family.

Huang Xiyi then realized that those rumors were not unfounded.

Huang Xiyi pondered for a long time before bowing slightly.

"The founder's original intention was also to bring the Xuan Nu Sect of Qingwei Mountain under the control of the Ji family, right?"

"Hey, your brain doesn't seem to be working properly again!"

"Didn't Da Huang say that your ancestor wanted the Qingwei Mountain Mysterious Maiden Sect to belong to the Ji family and the Yunxia Mountain royal family, not the Ji family!"

Da Huang didn't respond this time, which can be considered an admission.

Huang Xiyi collapsed to the ground, feeling as if the heavens had played a cruel joke on her. No, it should be said that her ancestor and the Xuan Nu Sect had played a cruel joke on her!

The method for breaking the calamity given by the founder of the Xuan Nu Sect was very simple: the Xuan Nu Sect of Qingwei Mountain should seek refuge with the royal family of Yunxia Mountain of the Ji family.

And now? The marriage alliance between the Qingwei Mountain Xuan Nu Sect and the Ji family may seem different, but in Huang Xiyi's eyes, it's the same thing—it's an active abandonment of the Qingwei Mountain Xuan Nu Sect's thousand-year-old tradition!

Huang Xiyi smiled bitterly. She had gone through countless hardships to find the Xuanyu Sword and had even risked her life to enter the Xuanyu Coffin, all to seek a glimmer of hope for the thousand-year-old lineage of the Xuan Nu Sect of Qingwei Mountain.

And what happened? Her ancestor told her that the way to break free from calamity was to abandon it. So what was the point of her insistence? Or rather, what was she actually insisting on?

The founder of the Qingwei Mountain Xuan Nu Sect firmly believed that she should belong to the Ji family, the royal family of Yunxia Mountain!

"Liar, big liar! The Qingwei Mountain Mysterious Maiden Sect, which has been passed down for thousands of years, is actually a fraud. How ridiculous, truly ridiculous! Forgetting emotions, forgetting emotions! The founder never forgot anything from beginning to end. If the founder could not forget the Ji family, why did he still pass down the Way of Forgetting Emotions?"

Huang Xiyi is roaring, she's venting!

"Girl, what your ancestor couldn't forget wasn't the Ji family, but the royal family of Yunxia Mountain, which is the most sacred place in the world for a woman!"
