Chapter 295: I will use myself as a chess piece, and ask the Taoist priest to play chess



The ninth princess of Daxia, the last heir of the Tianyun Sect!

Normally speaking, the Tianyun Sect is just a sect that has been lost for thousands of years. There are countless similar sects in Daxia. Its last generation successor is not a big shot at all, and his status is far less noble than that of the Ninth Princess of Daxia.

But for Shen Yuan, the successor of Tianyun Sect has another meaning.

Ten thousand years ago in the Zhenlong small world, Shen Yuan obtained the "Purple Star Numbers" from He Changzai, which enabled him to master this deductive power ten thousand years later.

He Changzai deliberately sold "Purple Star Numbers" to Shen Yuan at the price of a spirit stone, severing the cause and effect so that Shen Yuan would not be troubled by the cause and effect.

However, this method also brought about a good relationship between Tianyun Sect and Shen Yuan.

Because he was not affected by cause and effect, Shen Yuan did not notice Xia Yunqiu's existence when he was looking for his own cause and effect.

It was not until he deduced the people related to the destiny of humanity that he traced this good fate back to Xia Yunqiu.

After entering the imperial capital's market, Shen Yuan learned from the old fortune teller that the methods of borrowing luck between Wuxuan Pavilion and Tianyun Sect were somewhat similar, and he began to have some vague guesses in his mind.

That's why he exchanged a long banner from the old fortune teller's stall and wrote the four big words "Heaven's Way Always Stays" on it.

The laws of the Heavenly Fate are eternal, and the destiny of Heaven lasts forever. This is the general outline of all the laws of the Heavenly Fate Sect. The slight change in Xia Yunqiu's expression when she saw the long banner for the first time did not escape Shen Yuan's eyes.

It was this point that made Shen Yuan completely certain of Xia Yunqiu's identity as the successor of the Qiuyun Sect.

As for the ninth princess of the Great Xia royal family, this was somewhat unexpected to Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan looked at the beautiful woman with an elegant temperament in front of him, with a faint smile in his eyes:

"Before I came to the Imperial City Market, I was also surprised that there were still descendants of the Tianyun Sect alive in the world."

"The ancient Xingxiu Dao split more than 10,000 years ago and became the two major sects of Tianyun and Tianji.

The Tianji Pavilion had the upper hand in the Taoist inheritance and became one of the most famous paradises in the world. The Tianyun Sect, on the other hand, continued to decline over the next several thousand years and was almost destroyed at one point.

But after the Xuanhuang Realm experienced a thousand years of severance of the connection between heaven and earth, the once-peaked Tianji Pavilion collapsed, and its tradition was completely cut off. On the contrary, the once-declining Tianyun Sect has survived to this day."

The expression in Xia Yunqiu's beautiful eyes almost changed, and she said in a low voice with a bitter smile on her face:

“I’m not afraid of being laughed at by the Taoist priest. Although I am the last descendant of the Tianyun Sect, this is the first time I have heard of the Tianji Pavilion and Xingxiu Dao that the Taoist priest mentioned.”

The Tianyun Sect's heritage is incomplete. Many of its magical powers and sect history disappeared during the long period of spiritual energy depletion. To this day, only one in a hundred of the Tianyun Sect's heritage remains.

As the last successor, she didn't even know the relationship between destiny and secrets, let alone the orthodox Xuanmen Xingxiu Dao of the ancient times where the two sects originated.

Shen Yuan casually mentioned a secret that even she, the orthodox descendant of Tianyun Sect, did not know, which must be closely related to Tianyun Sect.

In addition, Shen Yuan's act of protecting Wuxuan Pavilion made Xia Yunqiu wonder about Shen Yuan's identity.

Shen Yuan was stunned.

Although Shen Yuan had anticipated the decline of Tianyun Sect's inheritance after seeing Xia Yunqiu's condition, knowing that even the knowledge related to Tianji Pavilion and Xingxiu Dao had not been passed down was enough to show how poor Tianyun Sect was.

"Where does the history of the Tianyun Sect that you know come from?"

Xia Yunqiu said seriously:

“In the Tianyun Sect’s inheritance, only the deeds of Patriarch He Changzai, who lived ten thousand years ago, are recorded.

According to the sect's records, when founder He Chang was in charge of the Tianyun Sect, it was stuck at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm and the Tianyun Sect was on the verge of decline.

But later, due to this accident, He Changzai successfully got to know a banished immortal who had never risen to prominence. The master had a keen eye for talent and bet the sect's precious treasure on him. Eventually, the banished immortal made a stunning debut in a trial and shocked the Xuanhuang world.

The ancestor used the fortune of the exiled immortal to break through the realm of transformation and become a true spirit cultivator, and even obtained the treasure bestowed by the exiled immortal. "

“Initially, because the realm of the exiled immortal was low, no one paid attention to the treasures bestowed upon him, so the ancestor was able to keep the treasures.

But as the reputation of the exiled immortal grew, some people began to covet the treasures, and even Lord Lianxu secretly took action.

In desperation, the founder had to disband the Tianyun Sect and throw out the treasures for the outside world to scramble for. He disguised his identity and stayed among the mortal world, leaving behind his bloodline and inheriting the Tianyun Sect's Taoist tradition in the form of family bloodline.

From then on, the only family left in the world was the Tianxing He family, but there was no name of the Tianyun Sect.

Relying on bloodline to maintain, the Tianyun Sect's lineage has been able to be passed down to this day even without the blessed land."

After listening to Xia Yunqiu's story, Shen Yuan's expression was filled with emotion.

In the scale of Xuanhuang Realm, tens of thousands of years have passed, but the time Shen Yuan personally experienced, even with the trial in that small world, was only a mere ten years.

Without experiencing the true changes of time, Shen Yuan could hardly imagine that the old Taoist who was struggling to break through the spiritual refining stage would have such a chance encounter.

The inheritance he left behind even surpassed that of the Tianji Pavilion that he was trying so hard to catch up with. It was truly unpredictable.

Putting away the floating thoughts in his mind, Shen Yuan turned to Xia Yunqiu and said:

"So, your mother's family is the Tianxing He family that inherited the Tianyun Sect?"

"Exactly."

Xia Yunqiu paused for a moment, then added:

"But the Tianxing He family has become a thing of the past. Now I am the only one left in the He family."

Shen Yuan was greatly surprised, but did not continue to ask questions. Instead, he waited quietly for Xia Yunqiu's next speech.

There was a hint of gloom on Xia Yunqiu's elegant face, but there was no sense of loss in her expression, it was as if she was just stating a fact.

“The Tianxing He family is also a large family with a long history. The family has always kept the ancestral teachings about the spiritual energy tide and the Tianyun Sect. This is also the key to surviving the previous two spiritual energy depletion periods.

But three hundred years ago, the head of the He family of that generation believed that the so-called spiritual tides and the ancestral teachings of the Tianyun Sect were complete nonsense. He thought that the He family, with such a foundation, should seek a high position in the Great Xia court, so he moved the entire He family to the imperial capital.

After arriving in the imperial capital, the He family spent decades to gain a foothold, but without the support of the court, the He family's huge business quickly declined. "

“More than two years ago, the He family sensed the signs of the revival of the spiritual energy tide according to their ancestral teachings and wanted to find the inheritance of the Tianyun Sect.

However, most of the precious inheritances belonging to the Tianyun Sect were destroyed during the relocation, leaving only a very small part, which included some basic methods of cultivation and methods of borrowing luck.

The head of the He family believed that this was an opportunity for the He family to rise again, so he used the He family's influence to stand on the side of the Fifth Prince of Daxia and help the Fifth Prince fight for the throne.

As long as the fifth prince can ascend to the throne, the He family will be able to use their fortune to return to its peak.

It's a pity that the He family's gamble with the whole family's strength failed, and was involved in the fifth prince's treason. The He family was exterminated, and only I, who was of royal blood, was spared.

At this point, the Tianyun Sect was almost extinct, and I, who had learned part of the Tianyun Sect's inheritance, became the last inheritor."

Xia Yunqiu's words were calm, but Shen Yuan could sense the storm hidden beneath the seemingly calm words.

“Although I have the blood of the Great Xia royal family, my mother was not a concubine who entered the palace, but a daughter born by Emperor Xia at an unexpected banquet.

After I was born, the He family was filled with joy, thinking that my mother would be able to enter the harem and the He family would also be able to become royal relatives.

But for more than ten years, Emperor Xia never recognized me, and I never got the title of princess. My mother died of depression because of this. Although there were many dirty things in the He family, they were still good to me and raised me successfully.

Even this Wuxuan Pavilion was built by me with the help of the He family's heritage, and many of the incomplete classics in it were also harvested from the He family's ancestral land."

"After the He family was exterminated, the emperor seemed to have finally remembered my existence and ordered me to live in the palace.

The princes fighting for the throne in the imperial city regarded me as the remnant of the fifth prince, simply because I was the only one qualified to inherit the He family's inheritance.

Suppression from all sides followed one after another. I tried hard to get rid of the He family's inheritance, but in the end I could not stop the covetous hungry wolves. They believed that the He family had more precious inheritances hidden by me.

After various blessed lands were incorporated into Jingzhou, the princes could no longer tolerate the greed in their hearts. Today's events in Wuxuan Pavilion were the beginning.

Once Wuxuan Pavilion collapses, they will tear off their last disguise and swallow up the last bit of the He family's inheritance."

Xia Yunqiu's words made Shen Yuan look quite complicated.

A sect with a history of thousands of years would actually collapse due to such a ridiculous reason before the return of the spiritual energy tide.

As for Xia Yunqiu's family affairs, they have become a mess.

Among the three clans of Xia Di, Yi and He, Xia Yunqiu, the only survivor, obtained a large amount of wealth.

If she were just an ordinary person, even if Xia Yunqiu had the right of inheritance, she would not be able to obtain this wealth, but since she has royal blood, no one dares to deduct it from her openly.

However, because Xia Yunqiu was a royal family member in reality but not a princess in title, she attracted the covetousness of several princes from the royal family.

As children of Emperor Xia, the princes are far superior to Xia Yunqiu in terms of status, power, and maternal family. There is no need to worry about any threat from Xia Yunqiu, who does not even have the title of princess.

He even gradually eroded the He family's inheritance because he was afraid that his behavior would be too ugly and would anger Emperor Xia, rather than because he was worried about Xia Yunqiu's methods.

At this moment, Shen Yuan suddenly remembered that when Xia Yunqiu introduced herself, she claimed to be the ninth daughter of the Great Xia royal family, not the ninth princess.

Looking at Xia Yunqiu with a somewhat complicated expression, Shen Yuan sighed softly:

“In the past ten thousand years, the Tianxing He family has adhered to its own way and has not randomly come out to compete for the destiny of heaven, so that the inheritance can continue for ten thousand years.

However, within just one year of the revival of the spiritual energy tide, their sect was eventually destroyed because they tried to seize the fortune of the Human Emperor.

It seems that the incomplete inheritance of the He family only grasped the law of destiny, but never comprehended the destiny of heaven."

"Destiny?"

"The destiny of heaven lies in following the trend. If you try to take the destiny of heaven, you will be bitten back."

Xia Yunqiu murmured softly, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

"Thank you, Taoist priest, for your teaching. Yunqiu is grateful for your teaching."

Shen Yuan just shook his head slightly. The Tianyun Sect's Taoist tradition is quite impressive. What Shen Yuan mentioned was just a superficial method recorded in the "Purple Star Numbers".

However, in the current Tianyun Sect's inheritance, it has become an extremely important method.

"I have a long history with your Tianyun Sect elders, so there's no need to be so polite."

After learning about Xia Yunqiu's experience, Shen Yuan changed his original idea.

Xia Yunqiu is not the only one who can do things related to human destiny.

The last heir of the Tianyun Sect has fallen to this point. Shen Yuan still has a good relationship with He Changzai, so there is no need to take Xia Yunqiu as his son.

After a little thought, Shen Yuan gave the choice to Xia Yunqiu herself.

“My original intention when I came here was to find someone who had a karmic connection with the destiny of humanity, but I never expected to see the inheritance of an old friend by accident.

Saving Wuxuan Pavilion was just a small matter, but Daxia and Dongtianfudi would eventually have to completely break up. As Gong Buyu was from Dongtianfudi, her intimidation could not last long.

If anything unexpected happens again, Wuxuan Pavilion will be in danger.

For the good relationship left by my old friend, I will not sit idly by and watch the Tianyun Sect's lineage be cut off. I can give you two choices."

"The first option is that I will send you out of the imperial capital, support you in becoming a disciple of a blessed land, and help you rebuild the Tianyun Sect. Neither Emperor Xia nor the other princes can interfere with your behavior.

The second option

"I choose the second one!"

Before Shen Yuan even finished his words, Xia Yunqiu spoke without hesitation.

He glanced at Xia Yunqiu with surprise.

"I haven't said what the second option is yet."

Xia Yunqiu bowed respectfully to Shen Yuan, and then said seriously:

“The Taoist priest was able to help Yunqiu protect Wuxuan Pavilion today, pointed out the cause and effect of passing on the Dharma to Yunqiu, and was even willing to escort Yunqiu out of the imperial capital. Yunqiu has no way to repay him.

In fact, as Yunqiu is the daughter of Emperor Xia, she will be able to save her life as long as she is willing to give up everything.

But Yunqiu didn't want to flee the imperial capital in disgrace, nor did she want to abandon the Wuxuan Pavilion that she had worked so hard to build."

The beautiful woman with noble temperament in front of him had an indescribable fire in her eyes, and the almost imperceptible humanitarian aura gathered around her.

"If the He family was exterminated simply because they failed to take sides, I would not care about the right or wrong of it. This is just the price of losing the gamble.

But I know, and all the dignitaries in the court know, that the so-called treason of the fifth prince is nothing but a farce.

Emperor Xia killed his own son due to his own incompetence, but buried an unrelated person with his son. This was not a struggle for imperial power at all, but just a despicable farce.

I want to stay in the imperial capital, I want to maintain this Wuxuan Pavilion, and I want to question Emperor Xia as the last heir of the Tianxing He family! "

As Xia Yunqiu's words echoed back to the empty twelfth floor, Shen Yuan could clearly sense that Xia Yunqiu's humanitarian luck was slowly increasing.

The elegance and nobility she exuded became more intense, and the red-gold color in her eyes became more shining.

"I know very well that I am in danger right now, so those thoughts are just wishful thinking."

"Master, you are my only chance. Since you want to interfere with the destiny of humanity, I am willing to use my body, the last heir of the Great Xia royal family and the Tianyun Sect, as my son. Please join the game!"
