Chapter 73 Yu’s Foresight (2)

Luo Xuanyi got goosebumps. Was this really an illusion? She couldn't help but wonder. But she certainly didn't feel the dizziness of being transported or jumping through time and space. Furthermore, she was only a spirit, so even if she were truly here, it seemed she wouldn't be able to do anything.

Thinking that there were no records of the Yu family since ancient times, she was able to calm down.

However, even the records from the ancient times were from after the Myriad Souls Sect unified the demonic and evil ways. It seemed that the Myriad Souls Sect had not yet fully unified. The records from this period seemed to have been deliberately hidden. Perhaps what Zang Yaozong was looking for were these tomes containing hidden secrets?

Unlike Luo Xuanyi who was still thinking about the situation, Yu Linghe looked at Luo Xuanyi with eyes full of expectation and sorrow.

"I am the last generation of foreseen adventers. After this, Daozu's foresight ceased. No one in the clan can foresee the next adventer. Although I borrow Daozu's power, I cannot freely use the Great Dao to foresee future generations. Eighteen years is too short to sustain such a consumption. I will die in an instant. Then I will be unable to protect my clan."

"Now all I can think about is the future of our family. If Daozu foresees that you can shoulder my expectations, then the future of our family will definitely be saved!"

Perhaps it was because she thought of the Third Valley and Zang Yaozong that Luo Xuanyi couldn't help but feel doubtful from the bottom of her heart, and perhaps also resentful about her own forced and bumpy fate.

"Guardian, why are you so persistent? With all due respect, that Dao Ancestor and his people developed a bond after years of living within the tribe, and they also had their protection, so they gave back. But aren't you Adventers forced upon us? Simply being born demands an infinite sacrifice: your life, your soul, your future. Everyone claims to respect you, but in reality, isn't it alienating and exploiting you?"

She was, of course, attempting to exploit Yu Linghe. Luo Xuanyi's background destined her to never become a saint, and she didn't feel she owed anyone anything. She possessed nothing in the world, no attachments. Her initial suspicions were often malicious, a preemptive defense against people like Yu Linghe.

Yu Linghe was stunned for a moment, then smiled gently: "I don't understand why you think this way, but I know you are trying to stand up for justice, right? Thank you, but that's not the case. I want to protect my family, it's my own choice. If I don't want to, I can just run away, right? No one can stop me."

"I won't ask you to understand this feeling. Everyone has their own reasons for their choices. I want to protect, and that's enough. No matter how others see me, as long as I do what I want in my heart, that's enough."

After hearing these words, Luo Xuanyi was speechless. Perhaps Yu Linghe didn't know how much these words would affect her understanding, but at this moment, she had indeed learned an attitude from Yu Linghe.

The Jade Crane showed Luo Xuanyi another kind of life, not pure black, but a noble life cloaked in gray. There are always different people in the world. Luo Xuanyi used to find it incomprehensible, but since then she has begun to try to accept it.

"So," Yu Linghe suddenly said, feeling a little embarrassed, "The Dao Ancestor's gift said that you could relieve my worries about my future life. After hearing all this, do you have any thoughts?"

Luo Xuanyi thought about it.

The Ten Thousand Souls Sect proposed the Sky-Slaying Sect, the Yu Clan mastered the way of reincarnation and afterlife, the Dao Ancestor predicted that two generations of Demon Sects would rise in succession in the future, and his own inexplicable name was spoken from the Jade Spirit Crane's mouth.

"What I know is that the Yu Clan didn't leave any records in later generations. And Daozu's prediction was correct. No one has truly succeeded in killing the Heavens in later generations. But since the fall of the Myriad Souls Clan, all the demonic sects have acquired the consciousness of killing the Heavens, and no one thinks killing the Heavens is wrong."

She hesitated. If this was an illusion, and not the present world, then it was fine. But if she had truly been sent back to ancient times, with their power to alter future generations, it was very likely to affect her birth.

Yu Linghe's expression darkened.

"However, I still have some doubts. If I can solve them, perhaps it can indirectly confirm the future of the Yu family?"

"Really? I'll tell you everything I know! Or we can ask the elders."

Luo Xuanyi seemed to see the hair on the Jade Spirit Crane standing up. She tried to pull Luo Xuanyi towards the chair, but her hand passed through her body.

Seeing that Yu Linghe had finally calmed down, Luo Xuanyi held back her laughter and asked carefully.

"Do you have a map or something? I'd like to see it."

Yu Linghe immediately closed her eyes, and Luo Xuanyi felt only a rapid wave of energy emanating from her body. In the blink of an eye, a vast landscape unfolded before her.

The sophisticated spiritual energy perfectly restored the rivers and mountains, large and small. Luo Xuanyi could even see many stone buildings on it. Looking closer, the exquisite patterns and murals were also perfectly restored.

"I can sense the laws of heaven and earth, so even if I haven't seen the mountains and rivers with my own eyes, I can perfectly restore them. Is this map possible?"

Yes, absolutely. Luo Xuanyi marveled at Daozu's terrifying combat prowess and the Jade Spirit Crane's precise use, then returned to the point: "Can you point out the boundaries between states?"

Several red lines immediately appeared on the map, and the names of numerous factions were meticulously marked. Luo Xuanyi confirmed that the territorial divisions and names remained the same as in later times. Although many landforms had changed, the general appearance was still familiar.

It wasn't until the fall of the Daowang Sect, the successor to the Wanhun Sect, that demonic lands emerged for cultivation. Before then, demonic cultivators and evil spirits had hidden themselves within the righteous folds like stars in a sky. The continent was divided into six states, three seas, and the overseas celestial mountain Penglaizhou. The two demonic lands of later times were Longchengzhou and Suningzhou, and the remains of Yulinghe's ancient alchemist were located in Longchengzhou.

However, the Yu family now lives in seclusion in the mountains bordering Xuancheng Prefecture, adjacent to Longcheng Prefecture. Apart from this, only scattered evil forces remain in Xuancheng Prefecture, Tianyan Prefecture, Hairuo Prefecture, and Diling Prefecture. The powerful demonic forces have unexpectedly gathered in the two prefectures of the future Demonic Land.

Luo Xuanyi relied on her memory to find the current location of the ruins, pointed at the map and asked the questions in her mind, and Yu Linghe answered quickly.

"We have never left this Dragon's Rise Land for generations. Of course, some disciples travel abroad, but our family's cave dwellings will never be opened to the outside world to avoid revealing our bloodline without authorization."

"As for those demonic sects, that's because the Myriad Souls Sect is frantically expanding. They established their base in Longcheng Prefecture and then frantically invaded demonic sects in other places. The first places they attacked were the states you listed above. Other demonic sects wanted to unite to fight against the Myriad Souls Sect, so they all ran to Suning Prefecture and established some kind of demon sect. This led to the concentration of demonic forces in the two states."

Luo Xuanyi felt something was odd: "How did those Wanhun Sect members swallow up other sects? How many people do they have?"

Luo Xuanyi's impression was that cultivation in the demonic realm consumed many people, and therefore, in the early days, the demonic sect hid in the secular world to facilitate plunder. Since the Myriad Souls Sect plundered other sects, they must have brought the captured individuals back to the sect. Were they not worried about the cultivators joining forces to rebel from within? Or were they all blood sacrificed? What kind of blood sacrifice would require so many people?

Yu Linghe seemed to find even saying the words "Wanhun Sect" disgusting. Although her expression wasn't very good, she still said honestly, "I don't know exactly how many people there are, probably dozens."

"Dozens of people?"

"Yes, there are so many Hades Crossers and Soul Guides that it's disgusting. Apart from them, there are only the sect leader, Long Tian, who shamelessly calls himself the Dao Master, and his three subordinates, the Soul Masters and the Ghost Daoists."

Luo Xuanyi simply couldn't imagine it. If the Wanhun Sect really only had these people, how did it manage to unify the demonic path?

Yu Linghe can be said to be the first real friend of Sister Yi, and has a profound influence on her.
