"What happened? Tell me quickly!"
Obviously, the little witch's curiosity was still aroused by Chi Yuer's words.
"Brother Yuan's identity is very special. To be more precise, it is because of the special identities of Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu that his identity is very special."
"What's the special method?" the little witch asked with her eyes wide open.
"Uncle Gu is an unrivaled master. Even my father would not be in awe of him. Back then, Uncle Gu's cultivation was unparalleled, and he was known as the one closest to becoming an emperor."
"etc!"
The little witch was suddenly stunned and murmured, "His surname is Gu, and he's the man whose cultivation is closest to that of an emperor. Could it be that his name is Gu Qing? The legendary figure known as Qing Sheng?"
"Huh? You knew?"
This time it was Chi Yuer's turn to be surprised, because she had heard the little witch say before that she had never left Boulder City, so it was even more impossible for her to have been to the Central Region. This place was the most remote place in the Eastern Region, so logically she should not know about it.
"Hahaha, my God, is it really him?"
The little witch became excited. "I once read about this indomitable Lord Qingsheng in a book! I never thought you and he had such a connection!"
"Yes!" Chi Yuer laughed.
"Sister Chi, please continue. I've always wanted to learn more about this person who is closest to an emperor. Please speak quickly!"
Chi Yu'er looked at the excited little witch, tapped her forehead, and said with a sweet smile: "You, are you not angry anymore?"
"Hmph! I'm a magnanimous lady. For Sister Chi's sake, I will fight back when the time comes. I won't bother with that guy!" The little witch snorted.
Chi Yuer laughed. If that was the case, she would feel relieved.
"Uncle Gu was my father's lifelong friend. Back then, Uncle Gu was being hunted, but he managed to break through. Unfortunately, due to insufficient preparation and the backlash from the heavens, he ultimately perished."
Having said that, Chi Yuer's eyes dimmed slightly.
Uncle Gu is Brother Yuan’s father. I wonder if he will be sad if Brother Yuan recovers his memory.
"Ah? Lord Qingsheng, he, he fell?"
The little witch had never been to the Central Region, so naturally she didn't know about this past event.
"Yes, in fact, almost everyone in the Central Region knows about this matter. You have never been out of it, so you are more or less unaware of it." Chi Yuer replied.
"What happened next? Why did you and that guy Gu Yuan separate?" the little witch continued to ask.
"Later, Uncle Gu passed away. Brother Yuan was still young at that time, so my father brought him back to the Chi Clan to raise him. Brother Yuan's special status actually comes from his mother. His mother is a demon!"
"Demons? Domain demons? In other words, Gu Yuan has some common demon bloodline?"
The little witch asked in surprise.
“That’s right!”
Chi Yu'er nodded, "But now he actually no longer has any demon blood in him, only human blood."
"What's going on? Sister Chi, please continue." The little witch listened very carefully.
"When Brother Yuan was five years old, someone spread the news that he had demonic bloodline, causing quite a stir in the Central Region. You have to remember that many of the sects in the Central Region have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years. They have absolutely no regard for the demons, given the enormous conflict between the demons and humans back then. After that, our Chi Clan came under immense pressure, until later, the three great sects of the Central Region—the Holy Sect, the Blood Spirit Sect, and the Bright Sword Sect—came directly to our Chi Clan and demanded that Brother Yuan be handed over."
"Three major sects? These three seem to be sects with a long history, right?"
"Well, except for the Blood Spirit Sect which does not have a very deep foundation, the other two are sects that have been passed down for thousands of years." Chi Yuer said.
"With the three major sects coming to our door, our Chi clan faced immense pressure. The clan was split into two factions. One faction wanted to protect Brother Yuan. After all, Brother Yuan's talent was truly formidable, having completely inherited Uncle Gu's. At only five years old, he had already reached the level of Spiritual Master."
"So powerful?" The little witch was surprised.
"Yeah! If it weren't for what happened later, I think Brother Yuan would have reached the level of Spiritual Venerable long ago, even if he hasn't reached the level of Spiritual Emperor yet."
Chi Yu'er smiled bitterly and continued, "At that time, our clan was divided into two factions. One faction insisted on protecting Brother Yuan because of his extraordinary talent, while the other faction wanted to hand him over to the three major clans for disposal, claiming he carried demon blood."
"Tsk tsk tsk, these people are really something. After all, they are members of my family, yet they are so inhumane?" The little witch sighed.
Chi Yu'er shook her head and said, "Families are like this. They only care about the interests of the family and don't care about anything else."
"Sister Chi continued."
Chi Yu'er nodded and continued, "So my father was under a lot of pressure at that time. He was only a Level 2 Spiritual Saint in District 2. To be honest, facing the three major sects, it was impossible for him to resist. However, my father still withstood all the pressure and decided to protect Brother Yuan. Later, the three major sects directly surrounded my Chi clan and demanded Brother Yuan. At that time, my father had no choice but to prepare for a fight to the death. But at this moment, Uncle Gu suddenly appeared!"
"Ah? Didn't Lord Qingsheng say that he had died before that?" the little witch asked in confusion.
"Yes, we were also confused at the time, but before Uncle Gu went to break through the tribulation, he gave my father a box and said that he could open it when he encountered any difficulties, so my father took it out and opened it."
"What's inside? A peerless divine weapon?" the little witch asked curiously.
"How is that possible? It's not easy to get a magical weapon." Chi Yuer laughed.
"Yes, that's right." The little witch nodded.
"There was nothing special in the box except a silver sword. This silver sword was none other than the one Uncle Gu had always carried close to his body, from the time he began his cultivation until he became a saint. At that time, my father didn't know what was inside. But after opening it and facing the three major sects, the silver sword suddenly underwent a huge transformation. Uncle Gu was actually reborn with the help of this silver sword!"
"Ah? Reborn with the help of a silver sword? This... this is too incredible, right? Fallen under the will of heaven, yet still..."
"We didn't believe it at first, but later we found out that this wasn't the real Uncle Gu. It was just the broken soul and three spirits that Uncle Gu had used great means to escape from the Heavenly Dao."
"Hiss... Master Qingsheng, under the Heavenly Dao, can actually achieve this level. Isn't this strength too abnormal? And he can also use the silver sword to reappear. It's really terrifying!"
