Chapter 1330: Chapter 1329: The Roots of Yun Zhi

As soon as the question was asked, Lu Yang suddenly felt the approach of death, but upon more careful feeling, there was nothing; it seemed like an illusion, with only Eldest Senior Sister coming over to pour peach juice for him.

"Junior Brother, you’ve been talking a lot, drink some peach juice."

Then Yun Zhi naturally sat down next to Lu Yang, with unclear intentions.

Lu Yang always felt that there was more to what Eldest Senior Sister was saying, but soon the answer from the elderly lady shifted his attention.

"Our Yun Family has continued to this day, thanks largely to the Immortal River."

"Immortal River?"

"Ten thousand years ago, in the Late Period of Great Yu, amidst unceasing wars, our ancestors sought to escape the chaos and preserve our clan members, and unwittingly found this secret realm after several moves."

"This Secret Realm was full of peach blossoms, so our ancestors named it Peach Blossom Secret Realm."

The grandmother pointed to the Heavenly Root, "In the Secret Realm, we discovered this Immortal Peach Tree which can extend lifespan and increase cultivation level."

"Moreover, there is also an Immortal River in the Secret Realm, said to be a creation by an Immortal from Ancient Times."

"Drinking the river water can give birth to a female baby, who naturally possesses Spirit Root with at least a medium level of cultivation talent."

"Gradually, the Yun Family became a predominantly female clan, and over ten thousand years, no men remained."

"There’s also a stone stele by the Immortal River, but unfortunately, it’s blurry and incomplete, without records of which Immortal created the river," sighed the grandmother, meaning they could not even worship the Immortal.

Lu Yang’s expression grew increasingly strange; so, both Eldest Senior Sister and Sister Mengmeng were born through the Immortal River?

And the most crucial thing was, why did the effects of the Immortal River sound so familiar to him?

Lu Yang suddenly realized everything – why Eldest Senior Sister behaved so abnormally today, why she didn’t mention that the Heavenly Root was in her hometown.

It was all because she was afraid of the Immortal Fairy finding out that the Heavenly Root was here, insisting on visiting her hometown.

Once the Immortal Fairy arrived, Eldest Senior Sister’s origins would be exposed!

To Lu Yang at this moment, the beautiful Peach Blossom Secret Realm seemed dark, filled with risks, a place not suitable to stay long!

He mechanically turned his head to look at Eldest Senior Sister, who still wore her usual expressionless and cold demeanor, seemingly no different from usual, but Lu Yang felt she was very frightening now.

As Yun Mengmeng finished dancing and noticed Xiao Zhi, Second-in-command, and the grandmother all present, she also joined them: "Second-in-command, why are you sweating so much?"

Saying so, she wiped the sweat from Lu Yang’s forehead with a handkerchief.

Lu Yang forced a smile, indicating to Yun Mengmeng not to worry about him: "It’s nothing, I think it’s about time for us to leave."

"What are you talking about leaving?" the grandmother interjected, holding Lu Yang back, earnestly wanting him to stay longer.

"Grandmother, the Junior Brother needs to cultivate."

The grandmother looked slightly displeased: "You’ve just arrived not long ago; cultivating is not so urgent that it can’t wait for a day or two. Cultivation also needs moderation."

"Come, grandmother will take you to see the Immortal River," sensing Lu Yang’s interest in the Immortal River, she abruptly pulled him to go.

"Second-in-command wants to see the Immortal River too? Let’s go, let’s go," Yun Mengmeng called out to Eldest Senior Sister before leaving.

"I’d rather not go," Eldest Senior Sister hesitated, not very keen to follow.

"Come on, let’s go," Yun Mengmeng insistently dragged her along.

The Immortal River meandered like a dragon lying in the Secret Realm, with river channels everywhere; while attending the peach blossom banquet, Lu Yang had noticed the Immortal River, but he hadn’t thought much about it, just feeling this river was filled with an abundance of Spiritual Energy, extraordinary. Given it was Eldest Senior Sister’s hometown, having such miraculous entity was not surprising.

"We’ve arrived," the grandmother led Lu Yang to see the Immortal River and the stone stele beside it.

The stream babbles softly, if not for the intense Spiritual Energy it exuded, no one would connect this small creek with the Immortal River, much less think of its magical effect where drinking its water could produce female offspring.

The stone stele has weathered the vicissitudes of time, even someone ignorant of history can tell that this stele is horrifyingly ancient, older than the histories of the three great dynasties, a relic from the Ancient Times.

The stone stele is engraved with the real name of the Immortal River in ancient script — Mother-child River.

As an expert in Ancient History and ancient script, Lu Yang, at this moment, became illiterate and could not recognize the characters on the stone stele; his only thought was to leave this place.

"Hey, this river looks really familiar." The discordant voice pronounced Lu Yang’s death sentence, behind him, a shadow appeared faintly, as if it had existed through the ages.

Lu Yang’s expression turned to one of despair, Is it still possible to use the Playing Dead Technique now?

Or, is the Trace Origin Dao Fruit Prototype capable of reversing my memory, pretending this never happened?

Lu Yang trembled severely, the shameful ancient past didn’t claim his life, and now was it time for the Eldest Senior Sister to claim it?

The old lady revealed a surprised look: "Are you the Ancient Immortal Fairy Eternity that Xiao Zhi and Mengmeng spoke of?"

"Indeed, it is I." Fairy Eternity puffed out her chest, her expression as proud as could be.

The old lady’s heart stirred: "Immortal just mentioned that this Immortal River looks familiar? Could it be that the Immortal knows the origin of this Immortal River?"

"Let me see." Fairy Eternity floated out, carefully examining the Immortal River while taking an interest in observing Yun Zhi’s reactions.

The moment she entered the Secret Realm, she knew what this place was — the familiar Heavenly Root, the familiar Mother-child River, she finally understood why Miss Yun had prevented her from entering the Secret Realm.

But this act of challenging Miss Yun was somewhat dangerous, she couldn’t initiate it on her own.

However, when Little Yang did it on her behalf, the nature of the act was completely different.

Deserving indeed of being her own Little Yang, she didn’t even need her hint to do the job, worthy of commendation.

Fairy Eternity circled around Yun Zhi, carefully observing Yun Zhi’s reactions, unwilling to miss any small detail.

Yun Zhi’s face was expressionless, but the faint blush that rose on her cheeks betrayed her inner thoughts.

Seeing this, Fairy Eternity’s smile grew wider, irrepressible.

"What is the origin of this Immortal River again?"

Fairy Eternity crossed her arms, thinking hard: "Ah, I can’t quite remember."

"The Immortal doesn’t remember?" The old lady had thought she would learn the origins of the Mother-child River this time.

Once Fairy Eternity came out, it wasn’t that easy to send her back, she still hovered in the air, circling Yun Zhi.

She and Yun Zhi holding leverage over each other, naturally could not disclose the origins of the Mother-child River, but that didn’t prevent her from seizing the opportunity to interrogate Yun Zhi well.

"Come Miss Yun, what should you call me?"

"Fairy Senior." Yun Zhi said quietly, bowing her head as if afraid Fairy could hear clearly.

Fairy Eternity cupped one ear, tilting her head and leaning towards Yun Zhi, laughing with her mouth wide open: "Ah, you still call me senior, give you another chance, what should you call me?"

Yun Zhi’s cheeks grew even redder, she had never been so bashful in her life.

Her lips trembled, unable to voice the words at her lips.

Lu Yang watched, dumbstruck, an arrogant Fairy, a shy Eldest Senior Sister, am I supposed to be seeing this?

Yun Zhi pulled out a slip of paper, handing it to Lu Yang.

"Junior Brother, this is the coordinates of your hometown I found from the Candle Sky Civilization."
