Emperor of the North Chapter 166

Chapter 166 - Past Worries

"I didn't expect you to be a disciple of the Gold Jade Sect, maybe this is fate. There are so many cultivation sects in the Yuheng Continent, yet you chose to go with them. Sigh!"

After listening to Li Mu's narration, Yu Hongyi let out a light sigh, as if there was some sort of hidden meaning behind his words.

"Gold Jade Sect? Why, Aunt, is there something wrong with that? Even though the Gold Jade Sect s are not as powerful as the Heartless Palace s, they are still a strong sect. Furthermore, in the sect, from Sect Master Li Chengfeng to the low to solid state inner and outer sect disciples, they have treated me quite well. "

"Now that you have grown up, there are some things that I can tell you. Do you know the relations.h.i.+p between your Gold Jade Sect's Sect Master, Li Chengfeng, and your father?" Yu Hongyi smiled faintly.

"Li Chengfeng? Li Chongtian... Everyone's surname is Li, could it be that Sect Master and my father have some sort of relations.h.i.+p!? "

Li Mu was shocked by Yu Hongyi's words. He could not imagine what kind of relations.h.i.+p Li Chengfeng had with his father.

"Not only did they have some connections, but they had a great family background because the two of them came from the same family. Back then, they were the uncles and brothers of a pair of relatives, and after the Li family fell, they were slaughtered by the Chou family in one night. Only the two of them were left.

"But the difference is that Li Chengfeng's apt.i.tude is good, and by chance, he was brought to Golden Aurora Mountain by someone from the Gold Jade Sect. And your father Li Chongtian was just a mere mortal back then, with extremely poor apt.i.tude.

"Back then, your father and mother went into seclusion for a period of time in order to avoid being hunted down by the Heartless Palace. I only found out about this after I heard the two of them talking." Yu Hongyi explained.

Li Mu's mouth was opened so wide, he never thought that Li Chengfeng would actually be his father's blood related uncle. If this was the case, then the other party would be his clan uncle, and someone with extremely close blood ties.

"Something is not right... Could it be that the other party already knew my ident.i.ty? This is impossible, how could he know? Furthermore, I didn't see how much he took care of me previously either, I only got to know him after the great sect compet.i.tion after staying in Gold Jade Sect for more than three years. "

The suspicions in Li Mu's mind did not dissipate, he just could not wrap his head around this matter.

"What's wrong, Mu Er? What did you think of? "

Yu Hongyi saw that Li Mu did not speak for a while, and asked curiously.

Seeing that the other party was not an outsider either, Li Mu brought out his doubts. It must be known that Li Chengfeng took good care of him, and pa.s.sed down the Heaven Ranked Martial Technique to three different sects, it was definitely because he had made some contributions to the Gold Jade Sect, and if that was the case, then the Gold Jade Sect would not have such a hard time learning Heaven Ranked Martial Technique.

"According to what you said, it is quite strange. The other party seems to already know your ident.i.ty, otherwise, they would not treat you like their own nephew. However, for your safety, you should not mention this matter first and pretend that you don't know anything." Yu Hongyi suggested after a moment of silence.

Li Mu nodded, and then changed the topic and asked: "Red Aunt, can you tell me about what happened to my parents and to you over the years? Although I've heard a few things, they are all very fragmented. I really want to know. "

Yu Hongyi laughed, as a tinge of reminiscence appeared on her face: "My parents died when I was young, and when I was eight years old, I almost frozen to death on the streets, until one day, your mother, whose cultivation had reached a level of small success, went out to train, and met me, who was starving to death. At that time, she was not much older than me, at least fifteen or sixteen years old, but she was completely different from me.

At that time, your mother sincerely said that I was the same as she was ten years ago. I was very envious of her freedom and could do anything she wanted. In this chaotic world, that is the only treatment that cultivators can enjoy, so I begged her to accept me, even if it was just to be her personal maid.

Your mother was very kind. She saw that I was begging for her to take me in despite the rules set by the Heartless Palace at the time, and even pa.s.sed down the cultivation method to me. After a few years, your mother finished her experiential learning and brought me back to the Heartless Palace.

"Your mother is a genius rarely seen in a thousand years in the Heartless Palace. She is extremely outstanding and has a devastatingly beautiful appearance. With the support of your mother's previous sect master, who is also your mother's master, she became the Heartless Palace's Holy Maiden.

At that time, I was only in the Houtian realm, and I didn't even have the qualifications to carry her shoes, but your mother didn't despise me because of this. At that time, I was just in the Houtian realm, and I wasn't even qualified to carry her shoes, but your mother didn't despise me because of this.

As she said till this point, Yu Hongyi's eyes were filled with tears, and she started to sob. It was as though the events of the past were yesterday, making her unable to forget it.

Seeing Yu Hongyi in such a state, Li Mu felt very upset, she believed that she was not able to be like his mother, where the cultivation world focused on the strong, and having the pills to leave a mark on the maids who were miles away from him, this was not something that just anyone could have.

Wiping away the tears at the corner of his eyes, Yu Hongyi continued to speak: "With the support of your mother, my cultivation increased very quickly, and I reached the Innate Realm before twenty years of age. At that time, your mother was already an outstanding individual in the Innate Realm, until the day she took in another servant, she is the current Saintess of Heartless Palace, Xue Ji!"

"Xue Ji's background is also very pitiful. It is said that she was originally a young miss of a n.o.ble family in the mortal world, and her entire family was annihilated by a hostile family. Only she survived because she was away for a long time.

"Miss has always been good to people who have suffered, and Xue Ji and I are both her maids, she has never been biased, and whatever good stuff we have, will always be half for each of us. But Xue Ji was born to a different world, and she was very scheming, for the sake of avenging her family, she worked very hard in cultivation, and her talent is much better than mine."

After that, Miss had a breakthrough in her cultivation and she was reputed as the youngest Tongxuan realm expert in the entire Heartless Palace for the past three thousand years. Under Miss's support, Xue Ji and I quickly reached the Divine Arts realm as well, and of course, I was slower than Xue Ji.

It was rumored that he took away the unrivaled martial skill of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, the Myriad Swords Return to the Origin, and was crazily chased by the order to kill from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. The young miss followed the order and partic.i.p.ated in this matter as well, she did not do this for the high bounty of crystal, but because of the Myriad Sword Return Sword Art on Li Chongtian's body.

"I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but she was unable to meet Li Chongtian until one day twenty years ago when Miss met Li Chongtian in the Jingguo's Yu Meng Mountain. That was also the first time I saw him, and although his name resounded throughout the entire Jingguo, Li Chongtian was actually quite pitiful. He was lonely to the point where he didn't have a single friend, and had always faced the world's enemies alone."

"Back then in the Yu Meng Mountain, Li Chongtian's injuries from Ten Thousand Swords Sect's True King Stage expert had not healed yet, so Xue Ji advised young miss to take him down immediately. However, young miss did not do that, because she found out about Li Chongtian's background from their conversation, and similarly, he led a miserable life."

"You also heard about your father's background in the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. Basically, there is no mistake, he entered the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and got excluded, and the people in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect even wanted him to hand over the Heaven Punis.h.i.+ng Sword that was more important than his life.

Originally, Miss did not reveal this duel to the Sky Canyon to the public. She even specifically told Xue Ji and I not to reveal it, but then she found out that Xue Ji had secretly reported it to the elders of the palace. In order to show her strength, the sect had spread the news.

"Because the news had spread, I had originally thought that Li Chongtian would not come out to fight after three years, but when we arrived at the Vault of Heavens, I realized that Li Chongtian had already arrived. As we agreed, that battle was reputed to be the strongest battle under the True King Realm, and your father and young miss fought fiercely for half a day in the Vale of the Heavens. In the end, your father won, but he did not harm the young miss at all, nor did he blame her for spreading the news of the duel."

"Your father was a heaven warping talent. After a battle with your mother, he attracted the heavenly tribulation and successfully broke through to the True King Realm. The True King of Ten Thousand Swords Sect was waiting for an opportunity to be killed by your father."

After returning to the Heartless Palace, your mother would occasionally be in a trance. Because she had suffered a backlash from cultivating the Broken Love Formula, so in order to prevent the elders of the sect from discovering the problem, she left the Heartless Palace alone, saying that she wanted to go out and gain experience. This journey would take several years.

"When your mother returned to the Heartless Palace once again, she took Xue Ji and I and left the Heartless Palace. Only later on did we find out that she and your father had already become Dao-companions and planned on living in seclusion."

I didn't like the cold Heartless Palace very much, it was a very good choice to live in seclusion. Later on I asked your mother, what did she do all these years, she just smiled and did not say anything, and only said that she found a way to remove the emotions from the Broken Love Formula in an ancient monument, and that was to cultivate a Buddhist secret technique called the Zhenling Meridian. "

"So it's like that. Now I know, why Zhu Lin said that she wanted to use me to pry open my mother's mouth, and was most likely doing it for the Zhenling Meridian, then how did she develop it?"

Li Mu muttered, and immediately asked.
