The Past is Like a Mystery

The truth? The purple-haired woman said indifferently, "The truth is that Luo Qingxun stole the Omega Secret-Realm, and you, Lu Boya, were an accomplice to the crime."

Lu Boya chuckled, his expression full of ridicule as he mocked, "Your master may be able to cover the sky with one hand, but without the Omega Secret-Realm, it is impossible to be truly immortal and invincible. This means that the truth may be covered up now, but it will eventually come out someday!"

Behind the purple-haired woman, the silver war spear suddenly flew out with a raucous clang, resembling silver lightning as it shattered the void and emitted a terrifying, murderous aura.

"If you, Luo Qingxun, and that son of a sinner all die, do you think...there will still be a time when the truth comes out?"

Her graceful figure was filled with an intent killing aura.

"Are you still trying to act against me?" Lu Boya continued, "Since I dared to show up here, do you truly believe I have no tricks up my sleeve?"

After saying that, a strange golden leaf suddenly appeared at his fingertips. It was as thin as a cicada's wing, as if it were polished with divine gold. The dense veins of the leaf were like the trajectory of the great road!

"A Leaf of Origin from the Immortal Tree of Ten Thousand Paths!?" screamed the purple-haired woman out of surprise. Previously, she was always emotionless, but now she was unusually nervous, even frightened and angry.

Boom!

Without hesitation, she immediately acted and the silver war spear flew out, with a sharp edge like a divine rainbow. With a few blows, it seemed as if it was going to pierce the universe and destroy the avenue!

But Lu Boya sneered, and the golden leaf at his fingertips instantly flew up.

With a buzz, the leaf suddenly seemed to turn into an infinite universe, flowing with immortal breath.

Then

Boom!

Lin Xun saw that the scene in front of him had exploded instantaneously. All he could see was white and then nothing could be seen.

Gloom settled into his expression, and his mood was turbulent.

The previous images had made Lin Xun realize that both Lu Boya and his mother Luo Qingxun had many hidden secrets!

He took a deep breath and began to think silently.

An unknown time ago, Luo Qingxun was injured and her original bloodline was destroyed. She had fled with the Omega Secret-Realm, crossed the Ancient Nebula Road, and come to this lower world

Then, Luo Qingxun fell into hibernation for many years because of her serious injuries. She didn't wake up until decades later, but unfortunately had lost many memories

This is what Lu Boya had said!

According to Lin Xun's speculation, after losing her memory, his mother Luo Qingxun began her life in the empire, took the imperial examination, entered Qinglu Academy after taking first place in the imperial national examination, and then met his father Lin Wenjing

It was not until the bloody massacre of the Lin Clan that year that his mother Luo Qingxun had disappeared again!

And Mister Lu had likely fled with his mother Luo Qingxun, crossed the Ancient Nebula Road, and come to this lower world as well.

Furthermore, he had likely been protecting Luo Qingxun secretly as a guardian.

When the bloody massacre of the Lin Clan occurred, Mister Lu rescued him as an infant and hid in that mine prison for more than ten years.

But wait!

Thinking of this, Lin Xun also remembered that in the conversation between Lu Boya and the purple-haired woman, his mothers elder brother was mentioned.

And they had clearly stated that when he fled that year, her brother already had the strength of the Saint-King Realm. Furthermore, he may have already become an Emperor Realm existence during the endless years after they had arrived in this world!

"The purple-haired woman said that my mother's bloodline was destroyed so she could no longer open the Omega Secret-Realm. At the same time, her elder brother was not qualified to open the Omega Secret-Realm due to his cultivation

"From this I can infer that my mother's brother should also have the same Origin Aeth Artery as me. Could it be...that he?"

Thinking of this, Lin Xun felt like a bolt of lightning had flashed through his mind. He instantly recalled a certain someone.

The man's figure was majestic. However, as if he was crazy, he ran wildly in the depths of the starry sky. Wherever he passed, stars were annihilated and exploded...

In the end, that figure stayed in the void because there was no road ahead. It was empty, and there was no way forward.

The man became disappointed, melancholy, and lonely. He then let out a sigh, "I regard the universe as a chess game, the past and present as a chess grid, the great road as a chess record, my life as a chess piece, and I want to play chess with the sky But in the end, we lost after all..."

There was endless unwillingness and anger in his voice.

"This road is closed, where should we go?"

Suddenly, the man straightened his back, and a terrifying divine light burst out from his eyes. His entire stalwart figure seemed to be on fire, bursting out with immeasurable light.

"Then I will use my body to build a road of annihilation, and I will use my soul to guide through the maze ahead!"

Then, the man turned into infinite light and rushed into the vast empty void, never to be seen again.

Lin Xun had seen this when he was comprehending the Star Annihilation Heaven Devourer in the Stele Forest on Cangwu Mountain during the Dao Lantern Festival.

Later, in front of the Star Chess Sea by the Immortal Sacred Mountain, Lin Xun realized that the crazy-looking figure was the Star Annihilation Battle Emperor!

He was a true emperor!

But at this time...

Lin Xun had an uncontrollable thought pop up in his mind. The Star Annihilation Battle Emperor...was most likely the elder brother of his mother, Luo Qingxun.

And he was also his uncle!

"That must be the case. He practices the Star Annihilation Heaven Devourer and must also have the talent of the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer. According to Mister Lu, this kind of bloodline talent can only be possessed by my mother's lineage..."

Lin Xuns mood was turbulent, and his expression was uncertain.

What he saw today made him unable to calm down at all!

"Just who is hunting down my mother and the others?"

He was stunned by these revelations.

Now, he was sure that his mother Luo Qingxun and Mister Lu did not belong to this world, but instead had come from somewhere on the other side of the Ancient Nebula Road.

He was also certain that the existence of the Omega Secret-Realm was the reason why his mother and the others were being chased down!

And this pursuit has lasted for decades upon decades, yet the other party still hadnt given up. This showed just how important the Omega Secret-Realm was to those enemies!

"If I continue along this line of thinking, then the sky-covering hand that destroyed the mine prison back then probably came from one of those enemies..."

Although Lin Xun had deduced many truths, he found that more and more questions had emerged after learning about them.

For example, where did his mother Luo Qingxun and the others come from?

And also, who were those enemies?

What kind of shocking secret was hidden in the Omega Secret-Realm such that the enemy still refused to give up after all this time?

As for his mother, after that bloody massacre of the Lin Clan, if she and his father Lin Wenjing had not passed away, then where had they gone?

And whyhadnt Mister Lu ever told him of those secrets?

Was he worried that Lin Xun wouldnt be able to bear it after learning the truth?

These thoughts made Lin Xun stunned for a bit, and he could not regain his senses for a long time.

"Lin Xun... I didn't expect that this was a name given to me by my mother. Is what Mister Lu said true? Do you want me to find out the truth and answers in the future?" muttered Lin Xun

In the courtyard, the grass swayed lightly, and there were spider webs everywhere. The strange forbidden power that had originally covered the courtyard had long since disappeared.

Dusk deepened.

Lin Xun, who had been silent for a long time, finally stepped into the courtyard where he had once lived.

He knew that Mister Lu was here a few years ago and had left some knowledge regarding himself. This made him feel very relieved and happy.

He also knew that it was in this courtyard that the purple-haired woman had appeared and staged a shocking showdown with Mister Lu.

But what Lin Xun didn't know was what the final result was.

He stood under the green weeping willow tree where Mister Lu once stood, thinking silently.

Night fell quickly, and the stars were bright and dazzling, casting clear light and shrouding Feiyun Village in a quiet atmosphere.

"No! Mister Lu must still be alive!"

𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Suddenly, Lin Xun's eyes lit up as he remembered something.

When he had arrived earlier, the courtyard was surrounded by a layer of strange forbidden power.

It was precisely because of the power of this forbidden array that he was able to look back in time to several years ago. That was how he had witnessed the confrontation between Mister Lu and the purple-haired woman.

What he was certain of was that this restriction was deliberately placed by Mister Lu so that he could see it one day!

The people of this world would never have imagined that such a restriction could exist in such a small, abandoned village!

If Mister Lu had died in the duel against the purple-haired woman, then how could such an array be left behind?

"Mister Lu is still alive...then Mother and the others...must be waiting for me to find out the truth..."

Lin Xun had been depressed earlier, but now became excited. His black eyes glowed with extreme determination.

Ancient Nebula Road!

He had to go there one day!

That night, Lin Xun stood alone under the green willow tree and stayed there silently all night.

It was only when dawn broke and the sky was bright that he turned around and left.

Behind him, Feiyun Village, which had been deserted for many years, was destroyed with a boom and turned into smoke and dust.

However, when he walked near an ancient forest, Lin Xun stopped abruptly. He had suddenly remembered something.

Back then, it was in the depths of this forest that he had spotted Xia Zhi, who was being chased by a Brute Warrior!

Whoosh~

Lin Xun thought for a while, then walked into the depths of the forest. However, there were no traces or clues in the forest after so many years, which disappointed him.

"Xia Zhi...just how did she appear? Who are her parents? And why was she hunted down by a Brute Warrior back then?"

Lin Xun couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of this.

Over the years, there had been enough twists and turns to discover the secrets that were pertinent to him, but in comparison, Xia Zhis origins were even more mysterious.

Back then, she seemed to appear out of thin air, without a father or a mother, and she was alone. The strangest thing was that she was only willing to follow him

Inexplicably, Lin Xun remembered something Xia Zhi had said a long time ago.

"Lin Xun, remember, my world is very small, and it can only accommodate you alone."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh. He didn't know where that little girl was now

Time passed.

Lin Xun stood outside the city in the east, looked back, and took another glance at the three thousand mountains. Then he resolutely flew away through the sky.

The past had faded away like smoke in the air.

The journey was now ahead!
