"So, I...I am the reincarnation of Zixia Tiannv?"
Lu Ziling stared blankly at the important figure from the Purple Extreme Heavenly Palace in front of her, her mind trembling from the impact of his words.
The Purple Extreme Heavenly Palace is one of the top forces of the righteous path. Throughout history, it has produced many emperor-level beings. Among them, the most famous one is undoubtedly the Purple Cloud Heavenly Maiden, who amazed countless eras and was worshipped as a god by the Purple Extreme Heavenly Palace.
This is an almost mythical figure, with countless legends surrounding her. Even Lu Ziling herself grew up listening to the legends of the Purple Cloud Fairy, and even her name is somewhat related to the Purple Cloud Fairy.
According to her parents, when she was born, a purple glow spread down from the horizon and enveloped her. Although it only lasted for a short time, her parents firmly believed that this was an auspicious sign and that she had a predestined connection with the legendary Zixia Fairy. Therefore, they included the character "Zi" in her name.
Originally, her parents wanted to name her Zixia, but they were afraid of offending the Zixia Heavenly Maiden and that she wouldn't be able to handle the name, so they changed it to Ziling, which was taken from the Zishenling, the legendary imperial artifact used by the Zixia Heavenly Maiden to prove her Dao.
It was for this reason that Lu Ziling was very interested in the legend of Zixia Tiannv from a young age, and she also had a special fondness for purple, because the biography of Zixia Tiannv said that purple was very charming.
However, Lu Ziling only regarded Zixia Tiannv as a legendary figure and never thought that she could be associated with Zixia Tiannv.
After all, Zixia Tiannu was a figure from hundreds of thousands of years ago, so what connection could there be between them?
That is indeed how it should be.
However, the appearance of this Palace Master of the Purple Extreme Heavenly Palace brought Lu Ziling and the Purple Cloud Heavenly Maiden together.
The Palace Master of Ziji Heavenly Palace said that she is the flower similar to the one in the prophecy left by Zixia Heavenly Maiden, and is the perfect inheritor of the legacy of Zixia Heavenly Maiden!
Lu Ziling didn't quite understand what "similar flowers" meant, and subconsciously thought of reincarnation.
Could I really be the reincarnation of Zixia Tiannv?
“Zi Ling, you do have some connection with the Heavenly Maiden, but saying that you are a reincarnation is not accurate.”
The Palace Master of the Purple Extreme Heavenly Palace shook his head slightly and patiently explained, "The Heavenly Maiden foresaw from the long river of time that a person with great destiny for all eternity in this era would emerge, so she paid a great price and used her great supernatural powers to send a wisp of her essence to this era."
"And you, you have merged with this wisp of the celestial maiden's essence."
"But this does not mean that you are the reincarnation of the celestial maiden. You are still you, only your soul has a trace of the celestial maiden."
"Of course, this is different from possession. The celestial maiden's essence is just pure divine soul power, just like the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. It does not contain anything related to the celestial maiden. It is only because this essence was taken from the celestial maiden that there is a causal relationship between it and the celestial maiden."
"You don't need to worry about what effect this spirit will have on you, nor do you need to worry that the celestial maiden will be resurrected through your body. No one in this world can escape the cycle of life and death, and the celestial maiden is no exception. Once she falls, she falls; there is no way she can be resurrected."
"The reason why the Heavenly Maiden did this was simply because she did not want her own lineage to be cut off, and she was also deeply obsessed with becoming a god. Therefore, she wanted to use the hands of others, and the fortune of those who have great destiny throughout the ages, to make her own lineage shine again, and to realize her desire to become a god in another way."
"The purpose of the essence is to allow you to fully receive the celestial maiden's inheritance without being rejected by it."
Listening to the Palace Master of the Purple Extreme Heavenly Palace's explanation, Lu Ziling had a general understanding of the situation, but she still found it incredible, as if she had heard a legend.
The methods of the ancient emperors were truly heaven-defying; they were able to merge their essence into her soul across hundreds of thousands of years. If it weren't for the fact that it was the Palace Master of the Purple Extreme Heavenly Palace who said these words, she would never have believed it to be true.
Even though it was the Palace Master of Ziji Heavenly Palace who said it, Lu Ziling still held a skeptical attitude and did not readily believe him.
She thought for a moment and then tentatively asked, "Senior, the legacy of the Purple Cloud Celestial Maiden has existed for hundreds of thousands of years. Is it possible that no one has been able to receive the legacy during these hundreds of thousands of years?"
She didn't believe that the imperial lineage would be reserved for her hundreds of thousands of years later. How could there be such a good thing?
The Palace Master of Ziji Heavenly Palace anticipated Lu Ziling's doubts and chuckled, "Over the past hundreds of thousands of years, my Ziji Heavenly Palace has naturally sought out countless inheritors, including many ancestors with exceptional talent who achieved imperial status through this. If it weren't for the Heavenly Maiden's inheritance, my Ziji Heavenly Palace would not have been able to survive to this day."
"However, for hundreds of thousands of years, no one has been able to receive the complete inheritance of the Heavenly Maiden. Even those ancestors who achieved the throne only received one or two tenths of the inheritance. The most core inheritance of the Heavenly Maiden has remained untouched to this day."
"To obtain the core inheritance, one needs not only talent, but also harmony with the spirit of the inheritance. And apart from the Heavenly Maiden herself, only those who have fused with the Heavenly Maiden's essence can meet this requirement."
"So that's how it is..."
Lu Ziling murmured softly, believing it a little more, but still asked with doubt, "But senior, how can you be so sure that I am the one who has merged with the essence of the Purple Cloud Celestial Maiden?"
“Since the celestial maiden left behind a legacy, there must be a corresponding method of identification.”
The Palace Master of the Purple Extreme Heavenly Palace smiled kindly, and a ball of light shimmering with purple light appeared in his hand. He held it in his palm and said, "This Emperor Pearl also contains a wisp of the Heavenly Maiden's essence. When it encounters someone who has fused with the Heavenly Maiden's essence, it will react. And Zi Ling, you are the only person in hundreds of thousands of years to make the Emperor Pearl glow."
Lu Ziling looked at the Emperor Pearl with a strange gaze, once again shocked by the methods of the ancient emperor, because she really felt a sense of familiarity and warmth from the Emperor Pearl.
After a moment of silence, Lu Ziling suddenly asked, "Senior, do I have to accept this inheritance?"
The Palace Master of Ziji Heavenly Palace was taken aback upon hearing this, not expecting Lu Ziling to ask such a question. Did Lu Ziling still have the idea of not accepting the inheritance? This was the inheritance of Zixia Heavenly Maiden!
She quickly said, "Whether or not you accept the inheritance is your decision, Zi Ling. My Ziji Heavenly Palace will not force you. But Zi Ling, how could you have the idea of not accepting the inheritance? Don't you want to become an emperor? As long as you accept the Heavenly Maiden's inheritance, becoming an emperor is only a matter of time for you!"
A figure flashed through Lu Ziling's mind, and she lowered her eyelids, saying, "I...I'm afraid that if I accept the inheritance, I won't be myself anymore..."
She was clearly still wary of Zixia Tiannv. The ancient emperors were too terrifying. Even after hundreds of thousands of years, they could still merge their essence into her soul. Who could guarantee that there wasn't some means of usurping her place?
She certainly wanted to become emperor, but she didn't want to lose her true self and become someone else.
