Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1662 Chapter 421: Netherworld Earth Mother, Primordial True Realm (Double Chapter) (3)

Thus, the figure he had been fixated on for such an extended period was not himself...

But who could that girl be?

Moments later, the interplay of light and shadow faded, yet the atmosphere within the hall felt as if it had been frozen in time.

Su Muqing's complexion shifted between shades of blue and white as she clenched her fists, exclaiming, "Who is that person?"

"That individual is who Haotian has been searching for, an ancient powerhouse aiming for reincarnation through your body to make a comeback in this world," Su Zhenyuan stated, unreservedly.

The truth, akin to a razor-sharp blade, must ultimately be unveiled. Moreover, for Su Muqing, if she cannot withstand this revelation, her state of mind definitely requires further refinement; otherwise, achieving greatness in the future would be a formidable challenge.

Su Muqing felt a tumultuous shock surging within her chest. Is that the person he sought? So that is who he was after!

Me... merely a vessel?

Her heart quivered, suddenly pierced by a sharp pain.

So, I was merely a stand-in?!

Yet, even as a vessel, all those years spent with him, it was always me, always my true self!

She bit down hard on her lips. Until the light and shadows ebbed away, she realized that in the boy's eyes, there was only that Primordial Spirit Girl. Even as she departed, he didn't cast so much as a glance at the hall below!

Not a single glance!

Su Muqing bit her lips until they bled. The golden Divine Blood flowed sweetly down her throat, yet it brought an indescribable sorrow.

Suddenly, she recalled the moment before she lost consciousness, when she activated that latent power.

So, it was that person who embodied the latent power.

She pressed her lips even harder together.

So, she was the one who had willingly released her!

An intense feeling washed over her, a longing to turn back time!

But, even if she commanded the Time Origin Seventh Realm, achieving that was a daunting task, as the part of space-time she wished to reverse involved her father, Su Wanqing, and Li Hao, along with that Primordial Spirit Girl.

Even if other scenes could be altered, they would remain untouched by her manipulation of time.

Furthermore, reversing a scene surrounded by such formidable beings was beyond her reach.

A silence enveloped the hall, akin to a deathly stillness.

After an extended pause, Su Muqing finally murmured hoarsely, "Even if he wanted to leave, at the very least... he should have bid me farewell."

"After all, we have been together for over ten years; he stayed in my courtyard for more than a decade!"

Su Zhenyuan sighed softly, saying nothing.

Was there any significance to saying goodbye? None at all.

The most agonizing aspect of life is parting ways.

"Say goodbye to you? And then just sit idly in the courtyard, waiting for you to open the hall doors?"

No one responded from the front; instead, it was Su Wanqing's icy voice that came from behind Su Muqing.

Su Muqing felt as though a sharp blade had stabbed into her chest, a searing pain. Her expression shifted numerous times; she opened her mouth as if to speak, yet ultimately found herself at a loss for words.

She suddenly realized that for over a decade, she had seemingly... never offered that boy a kind expression.

Yet he had silently endured, never showing anger.

So, was it merely because he needed to approach her to get closer to that Primordial Spirit Girl that he tolerated everything?

She felt a wave of absurdity wash over her, having naively believed it was because of her...

"Report!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out from outside the hall.

Su Zhenyuan looked up and commanded, "Speak."

The messenger entered, knelt, and hurriedly reported, "Family Head, we have uncovered Haotian's identity and background, just as you requested!"

"Hmm?"

This announcement caused everyone's ears in the hall to perk up. Su Qingmei also peered forward, intensely curious about which tribe from the True Realm could nurture such an exceptional figure.

Su Zhenyuan's gaze shifted slightly. Li Hao's matters were now classified, as aiding the Northern Domain would inevitably draw the attention of the Demons, making it unwise to disclose it to too many people.

But among those present in the hall... if he did not share the news now, they would undoubtedly pester him later.

Thankfully, they were his wife and daughter, whom he could trust implicitly. He promptly said, "Go ahead and tell us directly."

"Haotian hails from the Southern Domain and emerged thirty years ago within the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty, among the Heavenly Four Sects, in the Dream Nine Abyss Sect, swiftly gaining fame and rising to be among the top ten prodigies in Yan Chu. It is rumored he even engaged in a spar with the Yan Chu Royal Family and triumphed over an Immortal Lord from the Imperial Family using the True Immortal Realm's power!"

"He later represented the prodigies of the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty in the war of the Southern Domain to vie for a position in the Primordial True Realm!"

"In the Primordial True Realm, he showcased an extraordinary demeanor, effortlessly breaking through barriers and defeating top prodigies of various races, including the Ancient God Clan and Ghost Tribe among the top ten in the True Realm!"

"Even before the conclusion of the Southern Domain war, he had already been acknowledged as the number one in the True Immortal Realm of the Southern Domain, deemed unbeatable in that realm!"

The messenger relayed the information swiftly, his words resounding in the grand hall.

The hall fell so silent that one could hear a pin drop; only the messenger's voice echoed in the chilling quiet.

Apart from Su Zhenyuan, everyone else appeared stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief, rendered speechless.

Even Su Zhenyuan's expression shifted, but recalling Li Hao's prowess in slaying demons, such astonishing accomplishments were not entirely unexpected.

"Number one in the True Immortal Realm of the Southern Domain... tsk."

He chuckled softly, then instructed, "Continue."

However, the messenger's expression shifted slightly, and he spoke softly, "When he triumphed over the Southern Domain Venerable's Direct Disciple and secured the top position in the True Immortal Realm, his identity revealed some ancient secrets of the Southern Domain, ultimately leading to his suppression by the Southern Domain Venerable, narrowly escaping death there."

"What?"

Su Zhenyuan's smile faltered, his expression frozen as he stared at the messenger in disbelief.

Such a prodigy nearly perished in the Southern Domain?

Secrets? Identity?

He inquired, "What was the reason?"
