Qing Yanjing had always had this feeling, but Zhou Xingdou only noticed it by chance today. However, this feeling reminded Zhou Xingdou of a sentence Yun Qingxi said in the story of the Universal Demon Tribulation.
"Be careful of Yun Jinzhi."
Why did this sentence come to mind?
Because Zhou Xingdou has now entered a state of enlightenment, he has keenly noticed that Qing Yanjing's ability to evoke this feeling is not due to her gentle and virtuous personality, nor to her maternal instincts as a former mother.
It is a kind of divinity!
This is a quality that ordinary people cannot possess.
The divinity emanating from Qing Yanjing can be explained, after all, she is also a peak existence in her own world, and she possesses the most ancient and sacred eight divine veins of that world.
It is not surprising that he possesses such a transcendent divinity.
As for his master, Tian Jiu'er, one of the three great sword immortals of the Primordial Era, her cultivation was unfathomable. She was the author of the peerless sword manual and was extremely sacred. She was worshipped by countless sword cultivators, so it was normal for her to have divinity.
However, this divine quality seemed extremely out of place when applied to Yun Jinzhi.
To put it bluntly, what is Yun Jinzhi's identity?
Once a rogue cultivator who had reached the fourth level of the Meridian Opening Realm, he was almost at the very bottom of the cultivation world.
Even though she was the mother of Lin Fan, the chosen one of destiny, and a person of great fortune, she could not cultivate that divine nature in him.
After all, even on his deathbed, Lin Fan was not extraordinary and could not even compare to Yun Jinzhi's cultivation. How could he affect Yun Jinzhi's development of that kind of divinity?
The Five-Star Heavenly Phoenix bloodline was only in its initial awakening. It was good that it allowed Yun Jinzhi to make rapid progress, but to say that it would give birth to such extraordinary divinity was simply nonsense.
After all, putting aside everything else, his Punishment Heaven Dao Body was far superior to the Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline, but since his realm was not yet reached, Zhou Xingdou could only generate the Ruthless Heavenly Might, without that divine radiance.
This divinity is not a sense of oppression or power, but a feeling that arises from a state of being and a height that the mind has reached.
This is something that an ordinary rogue cultivator could never possess.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xingdou had no heart to discuss the secret of the birth of the ruler with Qing Yanjing, because if Zhou Xingdou's feeling was correct, then Yun Jinzhi was too terrifying.
Stephen Chow also quickly pulled up the template for Yun Jinzhi:
...
Name: Yun Jinzhi
[Number of Fate]: 0
[Affection]: Deep Love
[Realm]: Peak of True Person
[Innate Fortune]: Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline (Five Stars), Virtuous Wife Brings Prosperity to Husband (Five Stars)
[Postnatal Destiny]: Bloodline Awakening (Four Stars)
...
As before, there was nothing unusual. Previously, his cultivation level had increased from the late stage of True Person to the peak of True Person.
But this did not comfort Zhou Xingdou at all; instead, it only made him feel a chill down his spine.
If you're certain someone has a problem but can't detect any flaws, then that person has almost perfectly faked it.
The vulnerability has clearly been discovered, yet Yun Jinzhi continues to function normally in the system, which means that her methods have deceived the system.
Although Stephen Chow's idea was somewhat preconceived, looking back at Yun Jinzhi now, there are indeed many suspicious points, and the whole thing seems a bit unreasonable.
Just one point: how did she manage to get Lin Fan into the outer sect of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect?
Lin Fan's talent was quite poor back then, and he hadn't even had the chance to shine. How could he be qualified to join an immortal giant like the Xuan Tian Dao Sect?
At the time, Zhou Xingdou didn't pay much attention to it or think about it in that direction; he only focused his attention on Lin Fan.
Now, upon careful consideration of Yun Jinzhi's words, one can see that there are quite a few flaws.
Yun Jinzhi said that her husband's family fortune had been completely depleted, and she had to spend a lot of resources to get Lin Fan into the outer sect.
This statement seems reasonable, but it underestimates the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.
What level of cultivation does Lin Tong possess? And given his constant pursuit of progress, it's hard to say how many resources he might leave behind.
Yun Jinzhi has the ability to help Lin Fan access the Xuan Tian Dao Sect's entry trial, but how can someone with only a single meridian point hold onto such a large amount of resources?
Moreover, her own beauty is a treasure in itself. Where in the world is there such a thing as a paradise? Has no one ever coveted it?
It's worth noting that Liu Yanran, who has a three-year agreement with Lin Fan, is quite talented. Although the Liu family is small, it is still a prestigious family with a foundation and strength far exceeding that of Yun Jinzhi. However, Liu Yanran still failed to join the Xuantian Dao Sect.
This is by no means a case of Liu Jia preferring to be a big fish in a small pond rather than a small fish in a big pond. The Xuan Tian Dao Sect is an extremely revered force in Tian Xuan Sheng Zhou, whether it is a noble family or an individual cultivator, and is always the first choice.
This makes it difficult to explain why, despite being attacked from all sides in terms of talent, strength, background, and financial resources, Liu Yanran could only become a disciple of an old Saint Realm cultivator, while Lin Fan was able to enter the outer sect of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect and have the opportunity to climb up step by step.
Even if it is fate, there must be a cause and effect principle. Moreover, Lin Fan's fate was not yet revealed at the beginning, so how could he be so illogical?
Moreover, considering Yun Jinzhi's demeanor when she first met him, and the words she spoke when they were alone in the room, her bearing and mindset were something that no low-level rogue cultivator could possess.
Zhou Xingdou felt increasingly chilled as he thought about it; the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
How foolish I was to have shared a bed with this unfathomable woman several times, and even to have developed feelings of love for her.
Zhou Xingdou's expression kept changing, his look becoming solemn, which made Qing Yanjing, who had exited her cultivation state, ask with some concern:
"My lord, what's wrong?"
Qing Yanjing's words brought Zhou Xingdou back to his senses, reminding him of the question he had initially wanted to ask:
"Aunt Jing, with your strength, how could you possibly have a child with a weakling?"
Qing Yanjing paused slightly upon hearing this. Being asked such a question by Zhou Xingdou, who now occupied her mind and body, made her somewhat at a loss for words.
Zhou Xingdou realized his words had been too harsh, so he gently embraced Qing Yanjing's slender waist and said as softly as possible:
"Aunt Jing, don't worry, I don't care about your past. At least the new you is mine now, and that's enough."
Zhou Xingdou's words and actions eased Qing Yanjing's frozen expression. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly as she spoke to Zhou Xingdou with utmost seriousness:
"I have no past, you are the first man to touch and possess me..."
Before Zhou Xingdou could question these words, Qing Yanjing's gentle voice slowly rang out:
"I had better options back then, but I chose that person because our strengths were vastly different, and I could completely control the situation."
"And I'm a grandmaster of formations, so I can make him believe that what he sees and senses is real..."
"As for Chen'er, he is indeed my child with him. However, similar to the situation of the Holy Mother of the Universe, I took a bit of that person's essence and used my bloodline to give birth to Chen'er. I did not overstep any boundaries."
Zhou Xingdou was momentarily stunned upon hearing this. It turned out that the sovereign's father was just a tool.
But Stephen Chow also grasped what he wanted to know in those words: "He thought what he saw and perceived was real."
