Chapter 1044 Past events

Afterwards, the disciples withdrew, and Wei Yuan, accompanied by the four True Immortals, entered the Water Moon Palace Treasury to examine and inventory the treasures left behind by the successive Palace Masters and Ancestral Masters.

The treasure vault is located on the ground floor of the Water Moon Palace, next to the Enlightenment Wall. In the past, Wei Yuan had comprehended the true meaning of the Great Dao of the Taiyin Moon Essence Myriad Phenomena Chapter here more than once.

Upon entering the treasure vault, Wei Yuan immediately felt a strong aura of time rushing towards him. The aura was icy cold, and the power of the moonlight was so dense that it materialized and flowed continuously on the ground.

In the center of the treasure vault is a jade platform, upon which sits a jade toad, gazing up at the full moon hanging high in the center of the hall.

However, a small magic sword pierced through the top of Yu Chan's head, penetrating her entire body. Yu Chan, however, was focused solely on the high and distant full moon, so absorbed that she completely forgot about the sword embedded in her body.

For some reason, seeing this scene gave Wei Yuan a sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen it somewhere before, or felt it somewhere before.

At this moment, all the other treasures in the vault, including three or four celestial treasures, have completely disappeared, leaving only the jade toad in Wei Yuan's eyes.

The bloodstains on the magic sword were so fresh, as if they had just been there.

A thought suddenly popped into Wei Yuan's mind: "It must feel pain too, right?"

It must hurt; all sentient beings feel pain, but they may forget it for a moment.

As a disciple who inherited the legacy of the Water Moon Palace, Wei Yuan naturally knew about the deeds of its founder. However, there was another pattern on the jade platform, seemingly summoning Wei Yuan. After examining it, Wei Yuan discovered that the pattern was resonating with his Water Moon Palace Master's mark.

So Wei Yuan walked over and placed his hand on the pattern. Instantly, countless pieces of information flooded into Wei Yuan's consciousness!

That was the life story of the founder of the temple, his true life story, which also included his last remaining divine thoughts.

The Shuiyue Palace lineage began 3,600 years ago. The founder of this path was named Su Chanzi, who was exceptionally talented and far surpassed others on the Taiyin Path. He was a top figure who reached the age of fifty and ascended to immortality at the age of one hundred and fifty.

After Su Chanzi ascended to immortality, he obtained the authority over the fundamental Dao of Taiyin, which shocked the world. At that time, anyone in the cultivation world who saw him had to respectfully call him "Su Chan Demon Lord".

At that time, the three immortals of Taichu Palace had passed away, leaving a gap in their ranks. Su Chan Demon Lord was extremely ambitious and felt that although he was not yet the number one in the world, it was only a matter of time before he became number one. Therefore, he no longer took the immortals of the world seriously, but instead went back in time and set his sights on the three immortals of Taichu and the Taichu Ancestor.

The Demon Lord Su Chan plans to eliminate the Three Immortals first, and then try to overthrow the Primordial Ancestor. Out of mutual respect for his rivals from different eras, the Demon Lord Su Chan intends to join the Primordial Palace, intending to first promote the lineage of the Three Immortals as compensation for overthrowing them in a different generation.

In order to join the Taichu Palace, Su Chan Demon Lord hunted down the Taichu Palace's number one rival, the Grand Preceptor of the Northern Liao, for thirteen years. He finally killed him in the Golden Tent Realm of Liao, and then brought his head to the palace to win over the people and become the third generation palace master of the Taichu Palace.

After that, the Demon Lord Su Chan worked hard to govern and carefully taught his disciples, and left behind two halls of inheritance, with the Water Moon Hall being the core of his inheritance.

The Demon Lord Su Chan not only wanted to surpass the Three Immortals across generations, but also to surpass them in every aspect, including the orderly inheritance of their lineage. He felt that only in this way could he truly defeat the Three Immortals, and then try to climb over the towering peak of the First Ancestor.

However, during one of his travels, the Demon Lord Su Chan encountered a righteous immortal: Fairy Mingyue.

Mingyue also cultivated the Way of Taiyin, but only grasped a smattering of the Great Dao, barely managing to ascend to immortality. At that time, he met Su Chan Demon Lord by chance on the side of the road. Su Chan Demon Lord, considering that they were both fellow practitioners on the Way of Taiyin, casually gave him a few pointers, but did not really take them to heart.

But he didn't expect that Mingyue would remember it in her heart.

Years later, in order to make Taichu Palace the number one immortal sect, Su Chan Demon Lord boldly challenged Sword Palace to a duel. However, on his way to the duel, he was suddenly besieged by many powerful enemies, the main force of which was the Great Treasure Flower Pure Land, and they had to pay a huge price, mobilizing many Bodhisattvas and a Buddha.

Outnumbered and on the verge of defeat, Su Chan was suddenly rescued by Mingyue after a fierce battle. Mingyue was severely injured, but Su Chan, with the Jade Toad Devouring Heaven Divine Power, quickly recovered.

Afterwards, Mingyue confessed that she was indeed a person from the Great Treasure Flower Pure Land, and that she would be able to attain the Arhatship after two more reincarnations. However, she discovered that the one who had ambushed and attacked her was Su Chan, and resolutely rebelled against the sect. As a result, her golden body shattered, and she fell directly from the realm of immortals.

Deeply grateful, Su Chan helped her rebuild her Yin Dao. The Yin Dao had miraculous effects on repairing the primordial spirit and sea of ​​consciousness. After decades of recuperation and conditioning, Mingyue finally ascended to immortality again. During this time, the two fell deeply in love, and Mingyue gave birth to three daughters, living a happy and harmonious family life.

However, one day, Mingyue encountered danger. Suchan, relying on the authority of the Taiyin Dao, found her whereabouts and rushed there immediately. As a result, she was ambushed by several powerful True Immortals and Sword Immortals, as well as two Buddhas.

In front of Su Chan, Mingyue stabbed her own eldest daughter to death with a sword, thus casting a curse.

This spell is specifically designed to attack those with true feelings. The more the target focuses on the offering, the more severely they are injured. It is extremely insidious and was truly the most vicious spell of its time.

The moment the curse was completed, Su Chan, who had spent half her life indulging in romance and had countless female companions, had half of her cultivation level directly severed!
But Su Chan's power over the Great Dao was beyond imagination. He used his remaining cultivation to directly send a Buddha to reincarnation and also captured a sword immortal. Using the sword immortal's life as leverage, and at the cost of his own death, he ensured the safety of his other two daughters.

After all the True Immortals present swore a solemn oath, promising to guarantee with their cultivation and Dao Fruit that the two girls could grow up freely without being tainted by karma, the Toad Demon Lord sat cross-legged under the moon and calmly accepted his death.

Holding the God-Slaying Sword, Mingyue pierced through the head of Su Chan, penetrating her sea of ​​consciousness and annihilating her soul and future reincarnation.

Only then did Su Chan finally understand that from the very beginning, Ming Yue's purpose was to obtain the Taiyin Dao authority from him.

In the instant of death and the dissipation of his soul, a wisp of Su Chan's remnant spirit carried the God-Slaying Immortal Sword, which could only be used once, back to the Taichu Palace, where it transformed into the Moon-Gazing Jade Toad in the Shuiyue Hall.

At this point, Wei Yuan finally understood why, after obtaining the ancient full moon, he always felt that something was missing from the true meaning of the Water Moon Palace's inheritance, and that the path of the Water Moon Palace seemed much weaker than expected.

After receiving the Palace Master's seal and learning about the lives of the three Palace Masters, Su Chan, Wei Yuan finally understood what was missing. What he lacked was the authority over the Great Dao of Taiyin and the supernatural power regarding the erosion of time.

No wonder Wei Yuan felt an extremely strong sense of the passage of time as soon as he entered the treasure vault. The passage of time was originally a supernatural power inherent in the "Taiyin Moonlight Myriad Manifestations Chapter". After this part was taken away, the inheritance left by the Taichu Palace automatically disappeared.

Just as the inheritance held by Xu Wangu would disappear after Xu Shiba was born and obtained the Eternal Sword, the Four Barbarians were wiped out.

The "Taiyin Yuehua Wanxiang Pian" was already close to the Dao and was in no way inferior to the Three Immortals' inheritance, but it was only complete when the supernatural powers eroded by time and the authority related to the Taiyin Dao were added.

Even with the two most important parts missing, the "Taiyin Yuehua Wanxiang Pian" is still sufficient to serve as the successor of one of the Twelve Palaces, demonstrating the immense power of the Toad Demon Lord back then.

However, the Demon Lord Su Chan brought back his dying wish, which was that he did not want this secret history to be made public. Only the successive masters of the Water Moon Palace and those who have obtained the true meaning of the Taiyin Moon Essence can see it.

Even True Lord Xuan Yue, because he cultivated the Water Moon lineage in his youth and later transferred to the Azure Sky Palace, was not qualified to examine the marks and therefore did not know this secret history. He also thought that the Water Moon Palace was founded by an immortal who appeared a thousand years after Su Chan's death.

Besides this secret history, the mark also contains the last wisp of remnant spirit left behind by the Demon Lord Su Chan back then.

For some reason, Wei Yuan suddenly felt a dull pain in his sea of ​​consciousness and some difficulty breathing.

He steadied himself, pointed at the lingering remnant of his spirit, and instantly the scenery before him transformed into a moonlit lakeside.

A man with slightly graying temples but a handsome and refined appearance stood with his hands behind his back, gazing up at the bright moon in the sky.

As if sensing Wei Yuan's arrival, he turned around and said only a few words:

"I've never regretted it."

　P.S.: I'm working overtime until 10 PM tonight, so I really can't afford to add any more dishes. I'll make it up during the National Day holiday.
