Qin An put his hands behind his head and squatted down on the spot, staring blankly at the scene before him.
No, that's not how it works!
Where is Master? Wasn't he rescued by Master? Why isn't Master here?
This discovery filled Qin An with a sense of unease.
Everything was completely different from the scene he had imagined.
Where did things start to change? After a period of confusion, Qin An calmed himself down and carefully considered what he saw in the scene.
Then, Qin An discovered that all the differences between the scene and reality started when he was eight years old and escaped from that mountain.
In reality, she was rescued by her master, who helped her retrieve her indenture and redeem her freedom. However, in the video, no one came to her aid, and she was eventually captured by those people, beginning a life of hell.
Everything started to change with my master brother.
Why is Master Brother not appearing in the scene?
Qin An began to ponder deeply. Suddenly, a horrifying thought struck him, and he dared not continue to think about it.
"Master, Master, it's time to wake up!" Just then, Shi Xue's voice rang in Qin An's ears, and Qin An was fully awake.
Qin An, who had just regained consciousness, was still a little dazed. He stared blankly ahead, his consciousness still lingering on the shock of those scenes.
It wasn't until Shi Xue waved his chubby little hand in front of Qin An that Qin An's gaze began to focus.
"Master, what happened to you just now? I noticed you were in a lot of pain!" Shi Xue looked at Qin An with a worried expression.
"I just saw some incredible things." Qin An then recounted to Bloodlust everything he had witnessed at the Netherworld Flower. He also shared his own discoveries and speculations with Bloodlust.
"So that's how it is!" Shi Xue stroked his chin with one hand, his expression somewhat serious, looking like a little adult, but neither of the two people present paid much attention to this performance.
"As far as I know, the scenes that the Netherworld Flower shows you are not unfounded. According to records, the Netherworld Flower can see the secrets of heaven, and the scenes it shows you are all things that will happen in the future."
"However," Bloodthirsty suddenly changed the subject, "you now realize that the scene the Netherworld Flower shows you is very different from reality."
Qin An nodded repeatedly.
"That's strange." Bloodthirsty was puzzled. "You said the first half of the scene matched your memory, and it was from the second half that the memory started to change, right?"
"Yes," Qin An gave an affirmative answer.
"And you also said that in the scene that the Netherworld Flower showed you, there was not a trace of your master brother."
“Then…” Shi Xue suddenly met Qin An’s eyes, “the source of all the different events lies with your master brother.”
"Then, it's very possible that your master brother is a variable!" Shi Xue said to Qin An with a serious expression. "I even have a guess that in the scene shown by the Netherworld Flower, your master brother does not exist in this world!"
"Thump!" Shi Xue's words struck Qin An's heart like a club, confirming his fearful guess.
"Then, if Master Brother isn't from this world..." Qin An's voice was a little dry as he struggled to speak, "Will he one day leave this world?"
Bloodthirst remained silent, offering no reply to Qin An.
In Qin An's view, this meant tacit agreement.
Qin An staggered back two steps, rubbing his hair with a mixture of frustration and fear: "No, this can't happen! It's all just speculation!"
"Yes, a guess!" Qin An seemed to have grasped at a straw, forcing himself to calm down.
"Everything we're talking about right now is just speculation. The most important thing right now is to improve my strength and cultivation, break through the barrier, and see my master brother as soon as possible!" Qin An subconsciously chose to ignore the series of abnormal things he had observed about his master brother and focused on the present, deciding to concentrate on improving his cultivation.
Bloodthirst nodded. "That's right, there's no use thinking about it now. The priority is to improve your cultivation and strength. After all, you still need to see your beloved master brother!"
Qin An returned along the same route with the Bloodthirsty Demon. There was no trace of demonic energy left in this space, making it unsuitable for cultivation.
Qin An found the mechanism that the Heavenly Demon Senior had mentioned, pressed it down, and then, after a dizzying spin, Qin An reappeared at the bottom of the cliff.
At this time, Qin An had already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage of demonic cultivation, which he achieved after absorbing the power of the Netherworld Flower.
Now, Qin An is about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Previously, there was no heavenly tribulation for advancing cultivation in that space, but now that we are outside, there is no shortage of lightning tribulations for advancement.
Qin An was somewhat worried about this, because demonic cultivators were beings who defied fate, and the tribulations they faced were far more dangerous and cruel than those faced by immortal cultivators. He feared that he might not survive the tribulation and his soul would be scattered, but the thought of his master and brother waiting for him filled Qin An with strength.
It's just a tribulation of lightning, right? He can just go through it! If he doesn't go through the tribulation of lightning, he will never reach the Nascent Soul stage, he will never be able to break the barrier, and he will never be able to see his master brother again.
Thinking of this, Qin An sat down cross-legged and frantically absorbed the surrounding demonic energy, fully activating the "Qian Yuan Demonic Art." The surrounding demonic energy rushed into his body one after another, and due to the rapid absorption, it even formed a vortex of demonic energy.
…………
Meanwhile, the Star River Sect was in an uproar.
"Grandmaster Uncle! Grandmaster Uncle! Something terrible has happened!" Zhang Keke rushed into Tinglan Peak and stumbled into Shulan's courtyard.
"What happened?!" Shu Lan pushed open her bedroom door and bumped into Zhang Keke at the doorway.
Zhang Keke quickly braked, thus avoiding a collision with Shu Lan.
"Master, Master, Uncle Master..." Zhang Keke gasped for breath, her words barely coherent.
Shu Lan quickly poured a glass of water for Zhang Keke and told her to drink it, "Catch your breath before you speak."
Zhang Keke snatched the water glass and gulped it down in one go. Finally, she could catch her breath.
"My martial uncle has gone missing!" Zhang Keke brought this devastating news to Shu Lan.
"What?" Shu Lan was immediately taken aback. "Where did you hear that from?"
"It was the disciples who came back for training who told us, and now the whole sect knows!"
"I'm going to find my senior brother." Shu Lan only said one sentence before disappearing instantly, rushing off to Zheyan Peak.
