Liu Yunqing didn't understand what Xiao Jin meant, but she still took off the Wuxiang Mask as instructed, and then looked at the water mirror again following Xiao Jin's signal.

"What's wrong? Is everything alright... hmm?"

Looking at her face, which hadn't changed much in the water mirror, Liu Yunqing was about to say that there was no problem when she froze.

No problem is a big problem; no change is the biggest change.

Where is her face?

Liu Yunqing was somewhat incredulous. She recited the incantation to remove the Mask of No Form again, only to find that her face remained unchanged. With deep surprise in her eyes, she looked up at Xiao Jin and said:

What's going on?

Where is my face?

Why is it that even though she has taken off the Mask of No Form, her face has not returned to its former appearance?

It was rare for Little Gold to see its master acting silly, so it transformed into a golden crow, flapping its wings and flying around while letting out bursts of "chirp chirp chirp" laughter.

Liu Yunqing laughed until her eyes narrowed, and only then did Little Gold stop flying and land in Liu Yunqing's palm, saying seriously:

"This is the master's face!"

Liu Yunqing really wanted to say, how could she not know what she originally looked like?

"How could I not recognize my own face?"

"But Master, have you ever considered that this is your true nature?"

At this moment, Xiao Jin stopped laughing, stood in Liu Yunqing's palm, tilted his head, and looked extremely serious.

Liu Yunqing knew it wasn't joking, so she started thinking about the problem.

"It wasn't the Faceless Mask that changed my appearance?"

Little Golden Head shook his head rapidly, explaining:

"The Formless Mask does not have this effect. Moreover, the Formless Mask is a form that is created based on the owner's inner expectations."

Liu Yunqing admitted this point. Compared to her previous softer, cuter, and more innocent appearance, which even resembled the real Liu family members, she still preferred the face that the Mask of No Form had conjured for her.

"But if this is what I'm really like, then what about my previous face?"

Little Gold found it a bit difficult to explain, so it stretched out one wing, scratched its head, and tried its best to explain:

"Hmm... I don't know the specific reason, but I think the reason you regained your original appearance is because you advanced to the Golden Core stage, and then you recovered."

Was that previous face just a decoy? Or was it to protect its owner?

Liu Yunqing's heart stirred, as if she had a clue.

According to Xiao Jin, she regained her appearance because of an advancement in her cultivation level; her previous appearance had been deliberately concealed by someone.

So, when it comes to advancing, why is there no change from Qi Induction to Foundation Establishment, and only the Golden Core stage breaks through the barrier?

The only reason is that advancing to the Golden Core stage is fundamentally different from the previous two advancements—it requires undergoing the Tribulation of Three Nine Thunders.

Therefore, the protective measures that envelop oneself can only be broken by a tribulation of lightning.

So a new question arises: who has such great ability to leave such a mark on themselves?

What is the purpose of leaving behind such methods? Or rather, what is the real purpose of those concealing methods?

If she only wanted to make herself look more like a member of the Liu family, it's not that no one knew she wasn't a biological daughter of the Liu family.

If she wanted to conceal her appearance, then by chance, she used her real face after putting on the Faceless Mask, and no one came to seek revenge because of that face, right?

So who is that person?

Could she be her biological mother?

If so, what was the background of her deceased mother?

What is its background?

Liu Yunqing frowned, her left hand unconsciously rubbing the Golden Crow Ring on her right thumb, which was invisible to outsiders.

"Little Jin, before I acknowledged you as my master, did you really know nothing?"

Xiao Jin, as if afraid Liu Yunqing wouldn't believe him, nodded vigorously and said:

"Of course I didn't know that if the Golden Crow Ring wasn't successfully activated, I would remain asleep forever."

Liu Yunqing did not doubt its words, but continued to ask questions:

"Then tell me, who can obtain a treasure like the Golden Crow Ring?"

Xiao Jin was somewhat embarrassed:

"Master, I'm just a spirit of an artifact, don't be so demanding!"

"Although I don't know who will obtain the Golden Crow Ring, the person who does must be closely related to the Golden Crow God Clan."

Not only is it inextricably linked to the Golden Crow Clan, but the connection is likely quite profound.

So, is her mother's origin related to the Golden Crow God Clan?

However, according to Xiao Jin's previous statement, the Golden Crow God Clan had long since disappeared...

Suddenly, Liu Yunqing felt a strong urge to explore her own background.

"Little Jin, do you know where we can find the Golden Crow Clan?"

Speaking of this, Little Gold, who was originally happy for Liu Yunqing, suddenly became somewhat sad, although it didn't know where this sadness came from.

"The gods should naturally reside in the realm of the gods..."

"The realm of gods?" Liu Yunqing murmured, a look of confusion in his eyes.

"Does the realm of gods really exist? The spirit realm is still a long way off, let alone the realm of gods?"

"If the Golden Crow God Clan only exists in the God Realm, then why is the Golden Crow Ring, which belongs to the Golden Crow God Clan, in my hands?"

As the spirit of the artifact, Xiao Jin had no way to answer Liu Yunqing's question. It could only turn its bright little eyes and choose an answer that it could give.

"Of course there is a divine realm! The reason you haven't heard of it is simply because you haven't come into contact with it. It's the same principle as mortals in the secular world not knowing about cultivating immortality, while cultivators in the immortal realm only know that ascension is the key to immortality."

"After all, only after ascending to the Spirit Realm can there be a passage to the God Realm."

"As for things from the divine realm, how could they appear in the cultivation world... This is precisely the answer that Master must strive to cultivate and ascend to immortality as soon as possible to find!"

It's all right now! It's all right now!

After saying this, Xiao Jin wished he could grow two hands and applaud himself.

That's good, that's good. If we turn all the problems we don't know into the goals that our masters strive for, then all of them will be easily solved.

Although Xiao Jin tried to evade the question, Liu Yunqing smiled and realized that it made sense.

Her path to immortality involves more than just revenge and solving the problems of the Sun Realm; she also needs to unravel a host of mysteries surrounding herself.

Who says that longevity is a lonely journey? As long as there are enough problems to solve, there is no loneliness.

Liu Yunqing, who had been deep in thought with her chin in her hand, slapped her hands on her knees, stood up with renewed vigor, and set herself a very clear goal for the first time.

The moment he advances to the Nascent Soul stage will be the moment he takes Liu Yunzhao's life!

Then, destroying the Liu family would be a matter of turning one's hand over one's hand.

She didn't want to dwell on the revenge issue anymore and could only tolerate them until that time came.

For the first time, Liu Yunqing felt that hatred was also a kind of shackle, and she now longed for freedom and ease.

But that's for the future. For now, let's focus on tidying up our own little world!

Having sorted out some things, Liu Yunqing was in a great mood. He put the Wuxiang Mask back on his face, flew to the top of the space, and looked down at the entire space.
