(Thanks to the dedicated typist 386278856 for their perseverance, the anonymous 'u1 Liuniu Shuai Shi Wang Dao'.) Wu Ying Zong, one of the Six Great Celestial Master Sects, remained mysterious. The Celestial Masters of the Shadowless Sect kept their distance from other established sects.

(This book is reproduced from Shiliu Literature Net) For a long time, because of the secretive ways of the Shadowless Sect and the lack of any well-known main gate, many who sought them out were left clueless as to how to proceed. Following the incident at the Lingbao Grand Assembly, the Chen family was furious.

They marshaled their forces to hunt down the whereabouts of the Shadowless Sect, finally tracing one of their gathering places to Mount Yangshuo. While a portion of the Chen family pursued wicked individuals of the Manichaeism from the Western Regions into the Tianwu Kingdom, and others headed toward the East Sea to settle accounts with those from Luoxia Island, the forces available for Mount Yangshuo were insufficient.

This scarcity led them to spread the news that Mount Yangshuo was a stronghold of the Shadowless Sect, claiming it held the spiritual treasures they had plundered during the assembly. The world was filled with countless greedy Celestial Masters.

Under the banner of purging the Shadowless Sect, and with the tacit encouragement of the Chen and Huangpu families, many masters converged on Mount Yangshuo, hoping to seize the unclaimed spiritual treasures from any who might have fled the sect. After Yu Ziling's explanation, Ji Changkong praised her, "The Chen family's maneuver is brilliant.

The Shadowless Sect is now the enemy of all under heaven, making them fair game for anyone. Coupled with the weighty treasures they stole, the number of people willing to act against them will only multiply." "Changkong, how did you suddenly become so astute?" Yu Ziling asked, her face etched with surprise and bewilderment.

"That person was in the **Heaven Realm; how could you possibly injure him?" "It was merely borrowing the power of a spiritual treasure," he replied casually. Yet, he understood internally that his ability to harm that **Heavenly Celestial Master was entirely due to the thunderous power from the three lightning fields within his body.

Without that foreign energy, even his full strength might not have been enough to truly wound him seriously. "Come with me to Mount Yangshuo," Yu Ziling proposed.

"I have no interest in the spiritual treasures held by the Shadowless Sect. I'd rather not go; you can go by yourself," he refused, shaking his head.

He only wished to pass through this area quickly on his way to the Tianwu Kingdom to gather news from the Du family, not invite unnecessary complications. Handing the thick beast bone to Yu Ziling, Ji Changkong said, "This item does not belong to me, and I have no way to soothe or communicate with the beast spirit inside." "Forget it, I'll find a way to deal with the beast bone myself.

If all else fails, I'll just refine it to death," Yu Ziling said with a hint of helplessness, putting the bone away. She muttered quietly, "Honestly, why is your blood so peculiar?

The Ji family... The Ji family produces 'Xuanyuan,' the Purple Blood Xuanyuan..." Her eyes suddenly narrowed to pinpricks, and Yu Ziling stared intently at him.

"Changkong, are you the Xuanyuan of this generation?" "Yu Ziling, have you been wanting to ask me that for a long time?" Ji Changkong's face darkened as he demanded. "And if I have?

What difference does it make?" Yu Ziling chuckled softly. "When I let you have a drop of my blood back then, you should—you should remember that blood is red.

Must I spell it out further?" Taking a deep breath, Ji Changkong decided not to drag out the entanglement with Yu Ziling any longer. He said coldly, "I have my own matters; I won't be going to Mount Yangshuo.

My apologies." Without waiting for Yu Ziling to respond, he spoke his decision and turned away, a measure of disappointment clouding his feelings toward her. (It seems the female lead is certainly Ziling.) Yu Ziling made no move to follow.

In her remarkably bright eyes, the only striking feature on her otherwise ordinary face, there was a look of deep contemplation. After Ji Changkong walked some distance away, she hesitated for a moment, offered no farewell to the four individuals ahead of her, and suddenly turned, abandoning the journey to Mount Yangshuo.

... In Ji Changkong's view, Yu Ziling’s initiative in seeking him out this time was likely an attempt to confirm whether he truly possessed the Xuanyuan bloodline, with the issue of the beast bone merely serving as a pretext.

Xiao Shu had told him he was of the Xuanyuan bloodline, recounting the feud between the Du family and his parents. Not long after, not only was his identity exposed, but the fact that he would be passing through Gaoyang City en route to the Tianwu Kingdom seemed to have become common knowledge.

After careful reflection, he suspected that Xiao Shu might be the one who leaked the news of his journey to the Tianwu Kingdom. This was because only Xiao Shu could have correctly predicted his course toward the Tianwu Kingdom to seek verification from the Du family.

Releasing this itinerary might also serve to lure out Li Hentian. Xiao Shu's objective was closely tied to Li Hentian.

The moment Yu Ziling appeared, she incessantly emphasized the singularity of his blood, suggesting she, too, harbored suspicions that he was the Xuanyuan of the current generation. This immediately put Ji Changkong on high alert.

Subsequently, Yu Ziling’s string of actions displeased him, particularly her associating with those clearly not of good character and her eagerness to raid Mount Yangshuo. He disapproved of Yu Ziling’s choices and maintained a degree of vigilance toward her.

Not wishing for their relationship to freeze over, he felt an early parting was best, preventing their differences from widening until they could no longer even be friends. Xuanyuan bloodline, Xuanyuan bloodline.

Am I or am I not of the Xuanyuan bloodline? If I am, why is the blood in my body red?

If I am not, why does my blood possess so many differences from that of ordinary people? Both Xiao Shu and Yu Ziling had raised the subject, causing him to see many doubts regarding his own blood.

Filled with confusion, this was the first time—(illegible)—he seriously questioned if he could be the new generation's "Xuanyuan." Gaoyang City, an ordinary, small inn. Bai Qingya was clad in a long, plain white dress, her slender, beautiful legs crossed.

Her long eyelashes were tightly closed, and a faint white light continuously flowed from her tightly clasped hands. Beside her, Bai Canghai watched her with undisguised delight, excitement radiating from his face.

For several days, Bai Qingya had been absorbing the energy from the Moon Heart Stone. The moonlight was like water, and since Bai Qingya, a cultivator at the Five Elements Heaven Realm, practiced the Five Elements Water Force, the value of this Moon Heart Stone to her was immeasurable.

Crack! The Moon Heart Stone shattered, and the faint white light suddenly intensified, enveloping Bai Qingya in a brilliant glow.

Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and Bai Qingya’s bright eyes snapped open, filled with surprise as she watched the threads of moonlight essence from the Moon Heart Stone slowly permeate her body. "Xiao Ya, how do you feel?" Bai Canghai could no longer contain himself and stood up abruptly, his face taut with nervous excitement.

"Father, I feel wonderful! Truly wonderful!

The unique primal force within this Moon Heart Stone is mysterious; it possesses the gentleness of water, yet also the vast, pure clarity of moonlight. It seems to harmonize wonderfully with our Moonflow Sect's secret arts.

This Moon Heart Stone has been of immense help to me!" Bai Qingya said with a joyful smile. Nodding happily, Bai Canghai boomed with laughter, "Excellent!

The Moon Heart Stone truly benefits our Moonflow Sect's 'Moonlight Clear Heart Record' immensely. This time, you owe that young man a colossal favor!" Hearing Bai Canghai mention Ji Changkong, Bai Qingya's pretty face darkened, and she subconsciously took off the jade hairpin from her hair, gently caressing it.

Suddenly, Bai Qingya, who had just finished absorbing the strange primal force from the Moon Heart Stone, seemed to detect an extremely faint fluctuation within the jade hairpin. Frowning slightly, Bai Qingya didn't overthink it.

She released a small amount of the primal force in her hand, guided by her spirit, attempting to probe the anomalous vibration inside the hairpin. Whoosh!

Whoosh! Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh!

Suddenly, the hairpin shot out of her hand, transforming into streaks of phantom images, silver light flashing as they spun wildly around the room, shattering tables, chairs, bowls, and ladles. Bai Qingya stared blankly.

"Xiao Ya, stop, stop quickly! If you infuse any more primal force, the room will be completely destroyed!" Bai Canghai shouted.

Startled back to awareness from her meditative state, Bai Qingya willed her spirit and primal force to withdraw from the hairpin. Clang!

The jade hairpin clattered onto the floor with a crisp sound, its faint light completely receding, turning back into an utterly ordinary small ornament. With a gesture, the hairpin on the floor flew into Bai Canghai's hand.

He frowned, sensing it with his spirit, and suddenly looked at Bai Qingya with ecstatic surprise. "Xiao Ya, where did you get this jade hairpin?" "This hairpin should be a divine weapon forged by a Seven Stars Heaven Celestial Master who cultivated both destiny and life essence.

However, that Seven Stars Celestial Master must be dead, and the spirit of the hairpin along with him. That master, being at the Four Symbols Heaven Five Elements Heaven Realm like you, must have first communicated with the Sacred Beast Black Tortoise and focused on cultivating Water Force.

Even without its soul, this hairpin will be extremely useful to you!" "If you master the full potential of the hairpin, your strength will increase dramatically! Coupled with the effects of the Moon Heart Stone, breaking through to the **Heaven Realm should be no difficult feat.

Once you reach the **Heaven Realm, you can use this hairpin as your vital divine weapon for cultivation, infusing it with your essence, spirit, and vitality, thus bringing the hairpin back to sentience!" Bai Qingya looked at the hairpin her father held out with a strange expression, murmuring to herself, "He... he wasn't wrong after all.

It was me who was mistaken..." "Xiao Ya, you must have obtained this hairpin at the Lingbao Grand Assembly, right?" Bai Canghai was elated but also puzzled. "The essence stones I gave you shouldn't have been enough to acquire such a spiritual treasure.

Little Ya, exactly how many essence stones did you spend to secure this item?" "One high-grade essence stone," Bai Qingya replied blankly. "Wh-what?

One high-grade essence stone?" Bai Canghai exclaimed, waving his hand in front of Bai Qingya’s eyes. "Xiao Ya, what happened?

Are you mistaken? One high-grade essence stone?

This hairpin was practically given to you for free!" "It was indeed given for free," Bai Qingya said with a faint, calm smile. Her gaze cleared, and she looked at her father.

"Changkong spent one high-grade essence stone to buy it and then gave it to me." Bai Canghai was taken aback, at a loss for words. "Father, I want to go to the Tianwu Kingdom.

I won't be returning for the time being," Bai Qingya said after a moment of thought. Bai Canghai started, his expression turning somber.

"Although you have the cultivation base of the Five Elements Heaven Realm, the Tianwu Kingdom is likely unstable recently. Are you sure about going there?" "Father, I cannot rely on you to shelter me from everything!" Bai Qingya’s voice rose slightly.

"Alright, that young man is also in the Tianwu Kingdom. Be careful.

His status is rather **; you must make your own decisions regarding him," Bai Canghai agreed with a soft sigh, conceding to Bai Qingya’s request.
