Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 122 Let it all burn! My worthless life (Part 2)

During the violence, she noticed something: Zhongli Laogui, who was already a Super Douluo, seemed to be out of his mind. Sometimes he would mutter something like, "This is not what I wanted."

This puzzled her greatly. Why would she need to defend herself when she had done such a beastly thing?

Until later... she discovered that Zhongli Laogui had once used a secret technique of the Holy Spirit Cult. This technique was called Ring Explosion.

She suddenly remembered that once when Mu En was bragging to her and Long Xiaoyao, he mentioned that Tang San's father, the ancestor of Shrek Academy, had used his explosive ring technique to kill everyone ten thousand years ago!

An unreliable but dangerous idea popped into her mind: the true mastermind behind the Holy Spirit Cult might be of the same origin as Shrek Academy.

The secret technique of ring blasting is not something that just anyone can learn!

A sense of powerlessness washed over her again; she seemed to glimpse a sliver of the truth about this world. This truth was far more cruel than the truth of her family's destruction.

That is, the entire Douluo Continent may seem to be dominated by one superpower and many strong forces, but in reality, it is already shrouded in the shadow of one family.

Why would the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult use the secret technique of exploding rings?

Why has the Holy Spirit Church always remained in seclusion throughout history?

Why do they always tacitly stop after each battle with Shrek?

It was all a scam.

Ignorant justice became a complete joke in Ye Xishui's heart.

She was surrounded by false lies and could only choose to outwardly submit.

Burn it all, my worthless life! I just want to know the truth about all of this!

Her only remaining belief was to find out the cause of Elder Lin Xi's death, but to no avail. Until Zhongli Laogui, on his deathbed, passed on all his cultivation to Ye Xishui. His eyes were filled with reluctance as he looked at Ye Xishui, because he had truly fallen in love with her.

However, Ye Xishui didn't believe his gaze; she only coveted Zhongli Laogui's cultivation level. Only by becoming stronger could she have a better chance of uncovering some of the truth about this world.

At the end of the transmission of power, Old Ghost Zhongli gave Ye Xishui a piece of advice. In the outskirts of Mingdu, there exists a phantom space, which, in a sense, is a buffer zone between the human world and the divine realm, because a deity fell there.

Zhongli Laogui's elders were lost there for a very long time, and finally had to make a compromise to return.

Finally, Zhongli Laogui said, "The only way to break free from the curse is..."

But the moment he uttered those words, he seemed to be controlled and committed suicide.

Ye Xishui silently looked at the dead Zhongli Old Ghost, raised her hand to close his eyelids, and then refined his corpse into her Death God Tower.

Ye Xishui was nearly sixty years old at this time, and the marks that time had left on her were limited to her appearance, not her inner self.

She once turned white-haired overnight because she was forced by Zhongli Laogui, to the point that Mu En thought Ye Xishui turned like that because she couldn't forget him.

But in reality, a desire was always burning in Ye Xishui's heart, and this desire kept her young at heart.

Her only goodwill towards the Holy Spirit Cult lay with Lin Xi, the patron who rescued her. Until she found out why Lin Xi died and where "Cloud Recesses" was, she would not show any signs of anger.

Her child with Zhongli Laogui had grown up and was named Zhongli Wu. However, Ye Xishui did not bring the grudges and entanglements of the previous generation onto this child. She continued to raise Zhongli Wu like a mother and discovered that his martial soul had evolved into a demonic puppet martial soul, named Death God Demonic Puppet.

This is because Zhongli Laogui's pure evil power combined with her Blood Soul Demon Puppet. Later, to prevent her own Radiant Phoenix Martial Soul from being exposed, she found Zhongli Wu a mate with a Dark Phoenix Martial Soul, thus preventing Zhongli Wu's offspring from possibly carrying the Radiant Phoenix's genes. Later, Zhongli Wu's descendants were born, and quite unusually, their Martial Soul was actually a generational inheritance of Zhongli Laogui's Netherworld Serpent Martial Soul. The so-called Netherworld Serpent, after further evolution, will become the Netherworld Dragon.

Subsequently, Ye Xishui passed the leadership of the sect to Zhongli Wu and went into hiding. Since Zhongli Laogui had passed away, Long Xiaoyao came to the Holy Spirit Sect and stayed peacefully by Ye Xishui's side.

Long Xiaoyao had no idea that after that night with Ye Xishui, he had a child, and that child later gave birth to a son, who has now joined Shrek Academy.

Long Xiaoyao didn't know why Ye Xishui could still possess such vitality at such an advanced age. She had orchestrated the entire scheme within the Sun Moon Empire, including supporting Xu Tianran's faction to seize power, preparing to turn the Sun Moon Empire into her puppet state.

……

"Master, I have a question," the little devil interrupted Ye Xishui's narration, "Our Holy Spirit Cult should have existed for a very, very long time. Where were we before we came to the Sun Moon Empire?"

Ye Xishui paused for a moment: "You'll understand if you keep listening."

"When I was around 150 years old, I had successfully cultivated to the level of Limit Douluo and had faintly touched the bottleneck of this world, but I always felt that something was missing."

"Therefore, I intensified my research on the Ascension Technique and applied it to myself as a test subject. Ultimately, in cooperation with the Holy Spirit Laboratory, I accomplished the feat of increasing the age of my Soul Rings. This research has continued for three thousand years."

"On those spirit rings that have successfully ascended, I faintly smelled a... divine scent. This scent was not my own, but came from mysterious celestial energy. And this celestial energy was also subtly revealed when Lin Xi touched my left wrist."

The little devil had a hunch: Lin Xi, the revered elder, was the mysterious Grand Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult! She must have chosen to erase her identity as Lin Xi for some reason. And she herself should still be alive in this world.

"Where does this celestial energy come from?" Qian Renxue asked in a low voice. "Based on what I know, this kind of energy does not exist in the Douluo plane."

"..." Ye Xishui paused for a moment, "I'm not really sure about that, but there's only one possibility on the Douluo Continent right now for generating immortal spiritual energy. That is, fragments left behind by fallen gods."

The little devil's pupils suddenly dilated.

She immediately retrieved her Saintess Crown from her storage soul tool! If all of this is true, then this would be... the crown that Bibi Dong once wore.

"Where is the Grand Elder?! I need to see her!" The little devil's voice was low, but it sounded like a roar.

A strange emotion suddenly arose in the little devil's heart. If the Holy Spirit Cult's ascension technique was brought by the Grand Elder, and this Grand Elder had also foretold her appearance, and at the same time, there was the celestial energy brought by the fragments left behind by the Rakshasa God...

No wonder I had a strange feeling when I saw Ye Xishui, and even told the little angel that it wouldn't hurt to become Ye Xishui's disciple. It's because Ye Xishui's spirit ring has a trace of my mother, Bibi Dong's!

"The Grand Elder must have found fragments of the Rakshasa God in some ruins and collected them. Once the Rakshasa God's aura is leaked, he will be hunted down. So, four thousand years ago, when the two continents collided, we fled from the east side of the continent to the Demon Forest."

The little devil couldn't listen to any of this; she desperately wanted to know where the Grand Elder had found these Rakshasa fragments!

"Calm down, Xiaoxue," Ye Xishui reassured her. "I can swear on my life that we have never done anything to blaspheme the Rakshasa God. I swear on my life! As far as I know, the fragments of the Rakshasa God are enshrined in the Holy Spirit Laboratory, and they are only used for experimental research based on the aura they actively release."

The little devil gradually calmed down: "Teacher, it's not that I don't trust you, but... this is too unexpected. I didn't expect that my mother still left traces on the continent... I even brushed past her."

Cloud Recesses is Wang Dong'er's home, which is the location of the Haotian Sect in Dou Er.
