This sudden and bizarre move by the Origin caught not only the female cultivators off guard, but even Youyou and the other two off guard.
Youyou was a little worried and tried to summon the source within Fengrong's body again, but found that there was no response at all. It seemed to be very afraid that she would abandon it, and it clung to Fengrong, showing no intention of breaking free.
The three of them were at a loss for the moment. Seeing that Feng Rong seemed to have no adverse reactions, they had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being and deal with it again when they returned to the Six Realms.
However, there are still many things to be clarified regarding the origin of the dragon race and its origins.
Fortunately, after Feng Rong resolved the demonic energy, the head of the academy and the other cultivators did not intend to continue their attack. Instead, seeing the joy and doubt in their eyes, You You wasted no time and directly told them that they came from another world and asked them about the ancient times they mentioned.
In fact, when the other party took out that whip-shaped magical artifact, she had a guess that the saint these people were talking about might really be related to her.
Because it was a divine artifact that she recognized very well. Before she was seriously injured by the dragon clan and went to Sister Jing's world to recuperate, it was a weapon that Xuanling had crafted and given to a disciple of the sect.
Unfortunately, the Jingling Institute has been passed down for generations, and they have no idea about the true nature of the origins and the dragon race. Furthermore, due to the passage of time, some ancient texts have lost their clues. All they know are some legends that have been passed down through generations.
Upon entering the Jingling Academy, disciples are informed that they bear a mission passed down from ancient times. They know that every few years, ancient sinful races appear in the Heavenly Punishment Prison within the academy, and the sinful aura they carry poses a great threat to the Immortal Realm.
The Spirit Reverence Academy needs the power of the Holy Spirit and the combined efforts of all cultivators to purify this sinful energy, which is why they are holding the "Holy Spirit Ceremony." However, the Spirit Reverence Academy hasn't seen any members of the Sinful Clan for many years, and they even have some doubts about the veracity of this legend.
A few years ago, the Heavenly Punishment Prison suddenly became active. Not only did six bone dragons appear, but they also almost destroyed the magic array that trapped them and broke out of the Heavenly Punishment Prison.
At that time, the Jingling Institute spent a lot of effort, and the entire institute was mobilized to stop the six sinful creatures. Afterwards, they held a series of grand ceremonies in an attempt to purify the demonic energy as soon as possible.
"According to ancient texts, the Sin Clan was summoned here by the power of the Holy Spirit, only to atone for their sins. But there has never been a case of summoning six Sin Clan members at once." The head of the academy glanced at You You and said with some hesitation, "Moreover, the Holy Spirit has been dormant for many years, and has only recently become so restless. It even tried to break out of the Respectful Spirit Academy. We tried everything we could to temporarily keep it in place and continue to purify the black energy."
The Holy Spirit hadn't moved for a long time, and everyone even thought it was just a mindless relic. The sudden commotion naturally made them suspect that someone was deliberately causing trouble, which is why they were so wary of Youyou and the others who had suddenly intruded.
The three exchanged a glance. Jinglingyuan didn't understand, but they could guess the reason. It was because Youyou had awakened. As the Realm Lord, the Origin must have sensed Youyou's awakening and was eager to break free from its constraints and return to her side.
"So, you don't know what was summoned from the Heavenly Punishment Prison?" Yuan Qi asked the cultivators. "You don't know the formations inside either, or... the origin of the Holy Spirit?"
The cultivators exchanged glances and shook their heads. "All we know is that the formations and holy spirits in the courtyard are from ancient traditions."
Yuan Qi's expression darkened slightly. He turned to look at You You. Wouldn't the problem here be impossible to solve?
"Since they don't know, let's ask the people involved." You You turned to look in Feng Rong's direction. Didn't she develop sentience? Others might not know, but her own essence always does.
"Why are you looking at me?" Feng Rong was taken aback, but after thinking about it, she understood what she meant and continued, "Although it's on my body, I can't control it." That's the source.
"I'll do it." You You took two steps closer, placed one hand on his chest, sensing the same energy within him as hers, and said in a deep voice, "Little Golden Ball, can you tell me what's going on in this world?"
As soon as she finished speaking, faint golden light appeared on Feng Rong's body, flickering as if she were hesitant.
“Listen to me, I want to know,” Youyou added.
The light suddenly shone, and in an instant, Feng Rong's entire body turned golden. Moreover, the golden light grew brighter and brighter, sweeping across the entire space. Everything around her suddenly disappeared, including the female cultivators. Apart from You You and the other two, all that could be seen was a golden light.
After a while, the golden light spread in all directions, and faint images appeared all around.
Youyou: "..."
So, was Feng Rong being used as a projector?
"This is the Primal Illusion." The person himself didn't feel anything, but he recognized what it was at a glance. He looked at his still glowing body and said, "It wants to recreate what happened before."
Sure enough, a familiar voice came the next moment.
"She will come back, Sister Ling will definitely come back!"
Youyou froze for a moment. That was... her voice?
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene before him became clear. The first thing he saw was the ruins of the walls and rubble, the collapsed peaks that had turned into a sky full of broken stones, and the bright red blood that stained the ground.
The piercing roar of dragons echoed through the sky. Looking up, one could see several giant dragons coiled in the sky, their enormous bodies seemingly capable of crushing everything below. A deluge of spells rained down from the heavens, as if to overturn the earth itself.
At the center of the spell below, a small figure tightly gripped a sword. Her body was covered in blood, so much so that it was difficult to tell if it was hers or someone else's. Beside her stood several female cultivators in even worse condition, desperately trying to hold up the last vestiges of the formation. Their blood-stained eyes were filled with rage, and the face in the center…
"Youyou!" Feng Rong exclaimed in surprise, glancing at the blood-covered figure over there, then at the person beside her. The two faces were exactly the same, except that the person opposite was clearly several sizes smaller than Youyou beside her, looking no more than five or six years old.
You You's heart sank, and Yuan Qi's brows furrowed instantly. He involuntarily took a step forward. The two of them realized at the same time where they were.
This happened before the cataclysmic calamity; the dragon race took advantage of Xuanling's absence to launch a sneak attack on the sect.
At that time, Youyou was just an ordinary child whose power had not yet awakened. He followed Sister Xuanling to build the last hope for humanity—the Starfire Sect.
They hoped that a single spark could ignite a prairie fire and change this world that was on the verge of collapse, but they ultimately failed, right at this moment!
