“The Eternal Night Royal Family?” This was the first time Yun Che heard this name.
"The five great holy places have existed much longer than the seven nations of Profound Sky. They have existed for thousands of years, even tens of thousands of years, or even longer. Although the five great holy places have always balanced and restricted each other, on the surface, they also support and unite each other, and uphold the same philosophy... That is to protect the Profound Sky Continent and prevent the invasion of forces outside the continent. They are the most powerful and important barriers of the entire continent. At the same time, they do not interfere in various disputes within the continent. Therefore, they are revered and worshipped by the people of the continent, and are worshipped as gods... But, this does not mean that they are all good people!"
Feng Qianhui raised his eyes to look at Yun Che and said calmly: “I have no right to judge whether a holy land is good or evil, right or wrong, but disciples of my clan must never get close to anyone from Mighty Heavenly Sword Region for the rest of their lives. This is the legacy left by our ancestor Bingyun! Because back then, the Eternal Night Royal Family, one of the five holy lands, perished under the vicious conspiracy of Mighty Heavenly Sword Region!”
Yun Che: “?”
"Among the five holy places, the Eternal Night Royal Family is the only family-like power. Unless it is for marriage, they never recruit people from other families. Therefore, among the five holy places, the Eternal Night Royal Family is the most united and stable. Although there are occasional frictions between the five holy places, there has never been a big grudge. However, a thousand years ago, the new Sword Master of Tianwei Sword Region came to power... and he is also the current Sword Master Xuanyuan Wentian. One day, more than ten years after he came to power, several small cities around the core area of the Eternal Night Royal Family were suddenly shrouded in black fog overnight. Everyone in the city, whether they were powerful profound practitioners or powerless old women, women and children, all died in the black fog... Soon, all the spearheads were pointed at the Eternal Night Royal Family, because when the Eternal Night Royal Family's core profound skill, 'Eternal Night Fantasy God Record', was in operation, the black fog would surround them! People who died under the 'Eternal Night Fantasy God Record' also had their bodies blackened and entangled in black fog... It even did not dissipate for several days."
“…” Hearing this, Yun Che roughly understood what was going on. The name Xuanyuan Wentian coming out of Feng Qianhui’s mouth made Yun Che’s heart tighten… because his grandfather, Yun Canghai, had died at the hands of Xuanyuan Wentian! The Demon King of the Illusory Demon Realm, who was Yun Canghai’s master and friend, also died at the hands of Xuanyuan Wentian. He whispered, “Could this be a frame-up?”
"Yes, this was a vicious frame-up, but at that time, no one knew it was a frame-up except the framer himself." Feng Qianhui said: "Afterwards, Tianwei Sword Region spoke out first, calling the 'Eternal Night Royal Family' a sinful demon family that massacred innocent people in order to enhance their magic power. Then, in the name of protecting Tianxuan Continent and eliminating demons and defending the Way, they united with the other three holy places to encircle and suppress the Eternal Night Royal Family... Although the Eternal Night Royal Family was powerful, it was impossible for them to resist the alliance of the four holy places, and they were eventually exterminated. In the end, only the king of the Eternal Night Royal Family was left. Under extreme resentment and sadness, the King of Eternal Night suddenly turned into a demon."
"Demonization?"
"That's right. When all kinds of negative emotions reach their extreme, the power rules they possess may also be negative, thus becoming a terrible negative force. This rumor has existed since ancient times, but the King of Eternal Night is the first person to be truly 'demonized', which also proves that the rumor is not false. After all, his entire clan was destroyed, his wife and children were brutally killed, and he must have hated the world and filled the universe with hatred. His demonization further confirmed his name as a 'demon', and he was killed by the other four holy land masters. After he was demonized, his soul actually changed drastically. His body was destroyed, but his soul did not dissipate for a long time, and could not even be destroyed. Therefore, the Sun and Moon Temple sealed the hateful soul of the King of Eternal Night with a soul-sealing coffin. The only key that could open the soul-sealing coffin was also thrown away thousands of miles away, so that the hateful soul of the King of Eternal Night could never be freed... But now a thousand years have passed, and the hateful soul of the King of Eternal Night should have dissipated long ago."
Yun Che held his chin with his hand and said, “Why did Mighty Heavenly Sword Region want to pin the blame on the Eternal Night Royal Family? What benefits would this bring to Mighty Heavenly Sword Region? Since you know the truth, do the other three holy places also know the truth?”
“Because of the Eternal Night Royal Family’s guardian sword, the Heavenly Sin Sword.” Feng Qianhui said, “Xuanyuan Wentian is a man with great ambitions. He wants to be invincible and the only master of the world. The Heavenly Sin Sword is the sword that the Eternal Night Royal Family has guarded for generations. It is also the only ‘Sword of the Sovereign’ and ‘Emperor of Swords’ in the Profound Sky Continent. It is said that if one can control the power of the Heavenly Sin Sword, one will be invincible in the Profound Sky Continent. However, in the past thousands of years, no one in the Eternal Night Royal Family has been able to control the Heavenly Sin Sword. The Mighty Sword Domain uses swords as weapons and respects swords. People in the Mighty Sword Domain covet this. The Heavenly Sin God had been coveting it for a long time, and Xuanyuan Wentian was even more crazy about wanting it for himself, which led to the subsequent vicious framing and the extermination of the Eternal Night Clan. After that, the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword disappeared, and no one knew where it had fallen... and the most likely possibility was that it had already fallen into Xuanyuan Wentian's hands. Not long after, the other three holy places naturally noticed the clues, knowing that this might be a conspiracy by the Heavenly Mighty Sword Region, and that the Eternal Night Royal Family had been exterminated by mistake. However, since they were holy places, even though they knew that they were very likely wrong and even being used by others, they could only make the best of it and must not let the name of the holy places be tarnished. "
"So, they definitely won't give the Eternal Night Royal Family a proper name. Instead, they continue to spread the name of the Eternal Night Royal Family as the 'evil demon family'. In order to prevent future generations from tracing their names, they gradually erased all records and traces of the Eternal Night Royal Family's existence from the entire continent. Now, a thousand years have passed, and the name of the Eternal Night Royal Family has long been forgotten under the cover of the Holy Land. Only in some sects that are more than a thousand years old will there be records of it very occasionally."
These words of Feng Qianhui were all secrets that were almost impossible to hear in other places. Yun Che naturally understood why Feng Qianhui said these to him. He thought about it and said, “Grand Palace Master, I would like to ask you, why is there such a detailed record of the grudges of the holy land a thousand years ago, and the taboo truth that was covered up by the four holy lands.”
"Because, the Queen of Eternal Night once saved the life of my Bingyun ancestor Mu Bingyun. Although the Queen of Eternal Night has reached the pinnacle of profound strength and is of an extremely noble status, she is gentle and kind. Not only did she save the Bingyun ancestor from the claws of a Tyrant Mystical Beast, but she also gave the Xuandan of the Tyrant Mystical Beast to the Bingyun ancestor after killing it, and gave the Bingyun ancestor many lifelong instructions. If it weren't for the rescue and instructions of the Queen of Eternal Night, there would not have been the achievements of the Bingyun ancestor that looked down on Cangfeng, and there would not even be today's Bingyun Immortal Palace. Therefore, the Bingyun ancestor regarded the Queen of Eternal Night as her lifelong nobleman and benefactor, and she never believed that the Eternal Night royal family would be the 'sinful demon clan'. It's just that the Bingyun ancestor is unable to redress and avenge the Eternal Night royal family, so she can only keep the truth and pass it down from generation to generation in the Bingyun Immortal Palace to prevent the truth from sinking forever, and also warn all Bingyun disciples not to associate with Tianwei Sword Domain!"
“Today, Xuanyuan Wentian is still the Sword Master of Tianwei Sword Region. With such an ambitious Sword Master who uses despicable and vicious means, one can imagine how filthy Tianwei Sword Region will be. If you enter Tianwei Sword Region in the future… my Bingyun Immortal Palace will cut off all ties with you.” Feng Qianhui said solemnly.
Yun Che was well aware of the ambitions of Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. Otherwise, his biological parents would not have been hunted down, his grandfather would not have died, and he would not have ended up in Floating Cloud City nineteen years ago. However, Feng Qianhui naturally did not know about these grudges. Yun Che's heart was in turmoil, and he said seriously, "Thank you for the teachings of the Grand Master. I will remember this."
“Okay!” Feng Qianhui nodded slowly: “You must not tell others about what I told you. I told you because I believe you can distinguish between the important and the unimportant. In addition…” She glanced at Yun Che and Xia Qingyue: “Although you and Qingyue are husband and wife in name, you must not be husband and wife with her before Qingyue’s Frozen End Divine Art has been cultivated to perfection. The Yin Qi in a woman’s body can greatly assist the cultivation of ice-related profound arts. Once the virgin Yin is lost, Qingyue’s cultivation of the Frozen End Divine Art will inevitably be hindered, and it may even lead to a bottleneck that cannot be broken through in a lifetime. Qingyue is the hope of my Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace’s future, and I will never allow this aspect to go wrong… I believe you can also distinguish between the important and the unimportant.”
Xia Qingyue: “…”
It’s not possible before the Bingyi Divine Art reaches perfection... Well, in other words, it’s completely possible after it reaches perfection!
Yun Che was originally worried that Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace would require Xia Qingyue to preserve her Yuan Yin for the rest of her life, but Feng Qianhui’s warning was simply a naked hint. He quickly said, “Yes, disciple will follow the instructions of the Grand Master.”
"Okay!" Feng Qianhui nodded slowly, smiling: "I have said everything I need to say. Frankly speaking, although you are the first male disciple in the history of my palace, I am deeply comforted by your joining. After all, the two great young geniuses of the Blue Wind Continent have gathered in my Ice Cloud Immortal Palace."
“The fact that you have joined the Ice Palace will not be announced today. We will inform the entire sect at the sect meeting tomorrow. If there is nothing else… Qingyue, you can take Yun Che around the Ice Palace. You can take him to any place you can go. Yuxian, you stay.”
"yes."
Xia Qingyue stood up, bowed to Feng Qianhui, and then left with Yun Che.
As soon as they left, Gong Yuxian stood up and asked anxiously, “Uncle Master, why did you make the decision today? Is it really just because of Yun Che’s current strength and influence?”
Feng Qianhui's eyes were deep. She raised her head slightly and said in a voice that sounded like sighing and mourning: "Yuxian, do you still remember the thousand-year prophecy left by our ancestor Bingyun?"
Gong Yuxian was startled, and then his eyes trembled violently, and his expression changed: "Master, is it possible that what you are referring to is...'Thousand Years of Disaster'?"
"That's right." Feng Qianhui closed his eyes, his expression solemn: "Back then, the Lord of Bingyun Palace and Tianji Sanren of the Black Evil Empire were close friends. At that time, the Tianji Sect was at its peak, able to see through the way of heaven and understand the secrets of heaven. Almost everything they saw was answered, but in the end, they were punished by the way of heaven and destroyed. When the ancestor of Bingyun founded Bingyun Fairy Palace, Tianji Sanren once saw the secrets of heaven and told the ancestor that Bingyun Fairy Palace would prosper for a thousand years, and there would be a great disaster after a thousand years. If this disaster can be overcome, Bingyun Fairy Palace will prosper for ten thousand years. If it cannot be overcome, there will be no Bingyun in the world. And in terms of time... the thousand-year period has arrived. In the past year, I have been restless and even had nightmares when I was resting my mind. In addition, my palace suddenly appeared a disciple with extraordinary talent like Qingyue, and the Bingyi Divine Art that had been silent for a thousand years also reappeared in the world... All kinds of abnormalities seem to be foreshadowing the arrival of the thousand-year disaster."
Gong Yuxian's expression was turbulent, and he slowly sat down: "So, Master-Uncle didn't hesitate to break the sect rules and let Yun Che enter my Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, so that we can have more resistance when dealing with the possible catastrophe?"
Feng Qianhui sighed and said, "Compared with the survival of the sect, breaking the sect rules is nothing. Alas, I can only hope...if the thousand-year catastrophe really comes...the heavens will bless me, Bingyun!"
