The two quickly deciphered the formation here.

Shi Xuan had already cracked such hidden formations several times, and was quite adept at it.

The entrance was damaged by Shi Xuan's bombardment, so Shi Xuan once again swung his sword to forcibly clear a path.

At this point, Lu Wenxing, who had gone out for a walk, finally returned.

He marveled at the passage that Shi Xuanqing had created.

"Junior Sister, this is quite impressive! We didn't find any underground palace when we came here last time."

He nodded earnestly and said, "That's right, this is an underground palace that even my second senior brother didn't discover!"

Shi Xuan glanced at Lu Wenxing; he was getting carried away with self-praise in this Crescent Moon Secret Realm…

“Second Senior Brother, take a closer look,” Shi Xuan said. “This might be the place they were trying to lead you to in the illusion.”

"The place that led me there?" Lu Wenxing scratched his head and thought back. Back in the illusion, there were indeed signs that jumped around like they were pointing the way, but he smashed them with his sword.

Looking at it this way... he suddenly became unsure whether breaking the illusion was the right choice.

The main reason is that Shi Xuan has long held a high position in his mind, and if someone else said that, he would definitely not agree.

Lu Shenzhi added, "It's probably related to your bloodline."

Lu Wenxing instinctively touched his butt. He had no problem with his half-demon bloodline; in fact, it would be even better if he didn't have a tail.

This structure is not much different from other underground palaces.

It seemed to have been specially arranged for Lu Wenxing, with the story of Xin Yao, the "savior god," carved on the walls inside.

How he was ostracized because of his exceptional talent, how he endured a period of humiliation, how he was hunted down and abandoned in a secret realm, and finally, how he ended up on another continent...

Everything recorded in the previous booklet has been re-recorded on the murals here.

Shi Xuan felt that it seemed the "New Life" believed that Lu Wenxing had not seen the booklet at the original site of inheritance.

Lu Wenxing looked at the mural with great interest, as if he were looking at someone else's story, without showing any empathy whatsoever.

Shi Xuan raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, if the new students saw this scene, they might sigh, "It's like casting pearls before swine."

Finally, after seeing Xin Yao being forced to join the demon race after saving the world, and then perish, Shi Xuan wanted to remind Lu Wenxing that what was depicted here might not be the truth.

To everyone's surprise, after reading it, Lu Wenxing exclaimed, "This is a made-up story, but it's quite interesting."

Shi Xuan had told Lu Wenxing everything in the pamphlet, and later, Cixi Shushu also told Lu Wenxing all the information she had received.

These were all his own affairs, and Shi Xuan didn't want to hide them from him.

He had initially believed Shi Xuan in the booklet and was worried that the sect would expel him because of it.

He heard about the Cixi Tree, and the conflicting accounts, dating back eight hundred years, left him wondering what the truth was.

But one thing is certain: Xin Yao did not die at the hands of righteous cultivators as the pamphlet claimed.

When faced with contradictory events and incorrect endings, Lu Wenxing simply assumed that everything in the booklet was fabricated. Now, when he encountered the story again, he treated it as a storybook.

After passing through this story passage, you'll find yourself in another circular plaza.

Shi Xuan walked over first, circled around, but didn't react at all.

She stepped back, and Lu Wenxing stepped forward instead.

Just as Lu Wenxing walked to the center of the circular plaza, there was a sudden reaction.

A dim halo of light shone on Lu Wenxing; it was indeed specially prepared for him!

Lu Wenxing was startled by the beam of dark light and wanted to jump up and run away immediately. But halfway there, he remembered their purpose in coming here, and with his junior sister and senior brother by his side, he forcibly stopped.

He took a small step back and waited for a moment. The dim light then transformed into the shape of a human figure.

It was the shadow of a middle-aged man with a short beard, fair complexion, and a very refined and easy-going appearance.

He looked at Lu Wenxing, their eyes met, and Lu Wenxing, unusually, remained silent.

Shi Xuan recognized him immediately.

After searching Luo Qin's soul, Lin Daozi met him and described his appearance in detail to Shi Xuan. This person was Luo Qin's father, Xin Yao's son, Xin Shi.

Xin Shi left a wisp of his divine consciousness here using an array.

Upon seeing Lu Wenxing, he revealed a loving gaze and said, "Wenxing, I am your grandfather."

These words made Shi Xuan's eyes widen in surprise.

She shifted her gaze and met Lu Shenzhi's eyes for a moment.

Grandfather? Then wouldn't that be Luo Qin's son?

No, perhaps Xin Shi had many sons.

Lu Wenxing got angry, glared at the shadow, and said, "I am your great-grandfather!"

Xin Shi was not annoyed. Or perhaps the wisdom of this avatar formed from his divine consciousness was insufficient to discern Lu Wenxing's meaning.

He continued, “You have perfectly inherited the bloodline of your great-grandfather and great-grandmother, which is proof of your identity. Your great-grandfather, Xin Yao, had the Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root and was a saint who once saved this continent. Your great-grandmother was the saintess of the Ice Wolf Clan, so you must have both ice and fire spiritual roots.”

That's true, and Lu Wenxing didn't refute it, waiting to see what else he would say.

"The bond of blood is something that cannot be changed. Now that our family is in trouble, as a member of the family, you should also be aware of your family's situation."

"Who knows if you're right or wrong," Lu Wenxing muttered, but the other person didn't react and continued talking about his own things.

Shi Xuan shrugged and said to Lu Shenzhi in his mind, "Xin Shi is really stingy. He made such a big fuss, but in the end he only left a wisp of his divine consciousness. If he had left any soul imprint, he wouldn't be unable to sense the other party's emotions or understand what others were saying."

"It is not difficult to see from Cixi Tree's memories that Xin Shi is an extremely selfish person. How could he allow something that would harm him to happen?"

Leaving a wisp of divine consciousness is not intelligent, but it is simple. Leaving a wisp of divine soul here is not difficult for a Nascent Soul cultivator, but once the divine soul is separated, it will be damaged, and it will take a lot of effort to recover it to its full size.

How could someone like Xin Shi, who could feed his own father to a tree for his own cultivation, waste his own soul in such a way?

Xin Shi's shadow continued, "Don't believe the lies of these so-called righteous people; not a single word they say is true!"
