In the end, the members of the immortal sect retreated.
Jiang Shumiao led Wen Zhixuan to Fuqu and the others. When Wen Yicheng saw his father, he immediately rushed over crying and called him "Father."
Wen Zhixuan embraced his son, and only then did he feel relieved.
His gaze toward Bai Min was filled with gratitude.
Jiang Shumiao was healing the wounds of her two maids.
These people from the immortal sects are too ruthless.
The two little demons almost lost their souls, but fortunately Bai Min protected their heart meridians in time and used the rabbit demon's inner core to transform them into human form.
His life has been saved for now.
Jiang Shumiao could pull the dead back from the brink of death with her intervention, let alone these two who were still breathing.
Fuqu and Qianli slowly awoke, both looking weary.
"Thank you, Princess, for saving my life."
No wonder so many demons try to possess mortals; when they encounter a highly skilled cultivator, they are truly doomed.
They were completely unable to resist the Xuanmen Qi.
"The path of cultivation is long and arduous, and there are all kinds of tribulations. Fortunately, you two are resolute in your character, otherwise, if your Dao hearts were broken, I would not have been able to save you."
In short, don't turn evil.
Continue to diligently cultivate immortality.
This is child's play.
The two understood her unspoken meaning and nodded, saying, "Yes."
Jiang Shumiao looked pleased.
She turned to look at Wen Yicheng, who was being held in Wen Zhixuan's arms.
Although she spoke casually to Zixiao Immortal Lord and the others, the Mirror of Rebirth was made by her and contained a trace of chaotic power. It was a top-grade divine artifact that could protect the peace of the immortal realm.
Logically speaking, the Mirror of Rebirth should be able to reveal Wen Yicheng's past life.
"Easy to succeed."
She called out.
Wen Yicheng lifted his head from his father's arms, his face still wet with tears, his eyes glistening, looking utterly pitiful.
Jiang Shumiao: "Get down."
Wen Yicheng still listened to her. He immediately got down from his father's arms, walked up to her, and whispered, "Auntie."
Jiang Shumiao carefully observed his face and discovered subtle changes.
She suddenly said, "Yi Cheng is not a good name. Let's change it."
Wen Zhixuan was also skilled in physiognomy, but he couldn't detect anything unusual about his son. Considering Jiang Shumiao's background, he chose to obey.
"He calls you 'aunt,' so you should give him a different name."
Jiang Shumiao thought for a moment, "Lingyi, Wen Lingyi, how about it?"
Wen Zhixuan suddenly felt dizzy, and a voice rang in his mind.
"Lingyi has been enlightened by the Holy Venerable and entered the Dao. He will surely uphold the tenets of the Xuanmen, slay demons and eliminate evil, and safeguard the righteous path. The descendants of the Wen family will worship the Holy Venerable for generations."
He suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Lingyi, Wen Lingyi!
So that's how it is.
He staggered back two steps, and the Tian Shu Xuan Ji he was holding fell out of his arms.
Jiang Shumiao bent down and picked it up. "The divine power is gone; it's just a broken stone now."
Wen Zhixuan instinctively reached out to snatch it.
Jiang Shumiao raised her hand and waved it over the compass. The dusty compass instantly shone brightly, flew up from her hand, circled around Wen Yicheng—no, Wen Lingyi—and then landed in his hand.
Wen Zhixuan's mind went blank for a moment.
The Wen family patriarch received enlightenment from the Azure Lotus Saint Venerable, who bestowed upon him the divine artifact, the Heavenly Pivot Xuanji. Thereafter, the Wen family entered the orthodox path of the Xuanmen, and their lineage has lasted for five thousand years.
Jiang Shumiao looked surprised.
The subtle changes in Wen Lingyi's expression became increasingly clear.
She suddenly looked at Wen Zhixuan and understood in an instant.
"So that's how it is. No wonder the Mirror of Rebirth can't see his past life. So that's how my entanglement with the Wen family started. No wonder he was able to be born through Shen Qinghe's womb."
Wen Lingyi was the nameless ancestor of the Wen family.
Wen Zhixuan still looked incredulous.
This must have been a big blow to him.
"how so?"
Wen Zhixuan muttered to himself, unable to accept this fact for a moment.
No one could accept that.
The son became his own ancestor.
Wen Lingyi held the compass, her face blank, not understanding what they were saying at all, but she felt inexplicably flustered.
"Father, Auntie."
The two of them looked at him at the same time.
The boy's eyes were clear, yet filled with confusion and unease.
Jiang Shumiao suddenly remembered that her birth changed everyone's fate, but this child who should not have existed in the first place defied the will of Heaven and was born safely.
Following the original course, Wen Lingyi was switched with the child of Wen Zhixuan and the Qin family, and changed his surname to Jiang. However, in order to win over all the connections of the Jiang family, he took him as his disciple. Later, he overthrew the royal family and established himself as emperor, but he did not allow this child to be recognized as his ancestor.
After all, it's not proper to say something without a legitimate name.
Even after he slaughtered the immortal realm to resurrect Jiang Shuman, the child was still alive and well.
The Wen family's Xuanmen (mystical sect) was established from that point on.
The mandate of heaven is not just an empty phrase.
Wen Lingyi was destined to become the pillar of the Xuanmen sect in the future. His birth into Shen Qinghe's womb was due to a twisted fate brought about by the other shore flower, leaving him with no other choice. However, because Wen Zhixuan and Shen Qinghe were separated by a difference in time and space, and were forced into marriage and childbirth, their destinies were clashed.
Therefore, he was destined to have a short life.
Shen Qinghe and Wen Zhixuan were destined to have only this one son.
This is also the reason why Shen Qinghe died from exhaustion of her essence and blood when she was pregnant with her second child.
Even without Shen Qinghe's provocation and murder, Jiang Shuman would not have been able to safely give birth to Wen Zhixuan's child, according to the line in the Mirror of Rebirth.
Jiang Shumiao looked at Wen Zhixuan and found that his face was blank.
That evening, she summoned Fengdu again and inquired about the fate of the father and son.
Fengdu remained silent for a long time before saying, "Wen Zhixuan's name is not on the Book of Life and Death."
Jiang Shumiao was not surprised.
