On the inn's terrace, Wuguzi, dressed in white, gazed at the starry sky, in high spirits. He would occasionally observe the constellations while drinking alone under the moon.
"The Imperial Advisor is in high spirits; he even finds it interesting to raise a cup to the moon while all alone."
Dongfang Yifei's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Wuguzi, who was carefully observing the stars.
Wuguzi turned around and suddenly noticed Dongfang Yifei. His slender eyes instantly filled with doubt and confusion. He hadn't seen Dongfang Yifei for the past few days, and today he saw him with a completely different appearance. He had heard that Dongfang Yifei was cultivating, and after a brief probe, Wuguzi was shocked. His cultivation had improved astonishingly, and his entire body was filled with a murderous aura. In the world, nothing could increase cultivation so rapidly than Wutian's Demon Subduing Instantaneous Heart Sutra. Could it be that Dongfang Yifei...?
"Are you practicing the Demon-Subduing Instantaneous Technique?"
A cold, hard sentence that gets straight to the point.
"The Imperial Preceptor is very knowledgeable. He could tell at a glance that I, the young master, am practicing the Demon Subduing Instantaneous Heart Technique."
Dongfang Yifei smiled generously and admitted that, given Wuguzi's vast knowledge of astronomy and geography, he had been deliberately hiding from him these past few days to prevent him from knowing that he had obtained the Demon Subduing Instantaneous Heart Sutra. Now that the time was almost right, there was no need for him to hide any longer.
"How did you get it?" Wuguzi's entire body was filled with murderous intent.
Dongfang Yifei's eyes narrowed upon seeing Wuguzi's murderous aura. He felt relieved that his decision to keep Wuguzi in the dark had been correct, allowing his cultivation to proceed much more smoothly.
"I obtained it by chance at the bottomless cliff of Lingxian Island."
Dongfang Yifei did not hide anything and answered Wuguzi's questions without reservation.
"So Wutian and Ling Yunxuan were hiding at the Bottomless Cliff? No wonder I couldn't find out anything about them,"
Wuguzi clenched his fists, and memories of the past flooded his mind. Hatred filled his entire body. It was true that man proposes, God disposes. He, Wuguzi, had schemed his whole life, but he had still been outmaneuvered by others.
"You actually obtained Wutian's Demon Subduing Instantaneous Heart Sutra, so your past life was Wutian's disciple, Wu Yifei. Wutian's original name was Wu Tian. After he found you, he gave you the name Wu Yifei. The person who fell off the cliff with you was Nangong Ziyan. Nangong Ziyan is Ling Yunxuan's daughter, Ling Ziyan."
Wugu Zi clenched his fists tightly in anger, his eyes red with rage as he stared intently at Dongfang Yifei.
"Ling Ziyan? What is the relationship between Wutian and Ling Yunxuan? Is there a person named Yun Lingxuan mentioned in the Demon Subduing Instantaneous Heart Sutra?"
Dongfang Yifei found this matter too mysterious and had to ask Wuguzi. Recently, he had been having the same dream every night, which troubled him and left him unable to find an answer.
"Hmph! Regardless of their relationship, since you are Wutian's disciple, only you can fulfill his last wish."
Wuguzi didn't want to bring up the past, as it would only make him angrier.
"Last wish? What last wish? Also, I've been having the same dream lately, about all the little things between me and Nangong Ziyan."
At this moment, Dongfang Yifei knew that Wuguzi could give him the answer he wanted.
"Now that you have obtained the Demon-Subduing Instantaneous Heart Sutra, then cultivate it properly. Romantic feelings are fleeting and cannot be expressed in writing; there's no need to worry about them too much. Your master and I were sworn brothers, as close as brothers. It's just a pity that in the end, only I survived, and in this state. This world originally belonged to your master, Wutian, but the Holy Monarch Lingyunxuan favored my disciple, Zixuan, and ultimately passed the position of overlord of these continents to Zixuan. Your master and I were unwilling to accept this, so we had no choice but to kill Zixuan. As for you, after you died, your master sent you into the cycle of reincarnation, which is why you are who you are today."
Wu Gu Zimo gave an ambiguous explanation: "What happened back then will be known to the world little by little over time. Bai Xiao, Yun Xiao, Tian Nan Xing, let's see how long you can hold out."
