She is Jianxiu

Chapter 1438 The Cause and Effect of Seventy Years Ago and Its Involvement in the World

Seeing her unfriendly expression, Kong He immediately became more wary and was about to speak again to coerce the person in front of him. However, Zhao Chun, who was surrounded and threatened by a group of celestial demons, did not intend to delay any longer.

Among the Heavenly Demons of the Sun Palace before him, there were no fewer than twenty at the Divine Transformation level. Zhao Chun glanced at them and pondered for a moment, knowing that breaking through from among them would be quite difficult. He decided to kill one of them decisively and see if he could scare off the rest.

However, upon further reflection, she sensed something amiss. The Sun Palace had nine disciples, and excluding her senior sister Liu Xuan, all eight imperial princes were present. This display didn't seem like a show of force orchestrated by Taiyuan; rather, it appeared to be a spontaneous effort by the three clans of the Sun Palace to stop her here. If that were the case, warnings and intimidation wouldn't be effective.

Zhao Chun's eyes darted around, and she raised her wrist from her sleeve, as if about to unleash sword energy and carve a path through the road ahead.

Just then, a green shadow suddenly descended from the sky. It moved so fast that even the Sun Palace Heavenly Demon could hardly react. It only took a blink of an eye before the person in front of it suddenly disappeared.

Among all the imperial princes, the most experienced were undoubtedly Kong He and Ling Yi. The latter, relying on his mother's influence, had intended to form a partnership with Qing Zhi of the six-winged bluebird clan. Therefore, upon closer inspection today, he was able to immediately explain the situation, saying, "This is the secret technique of the six-winged bluebird, which can teleport people away out of thin air!"

Upon hearing this, Kong He and the others immediately knew who had made the move. They couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Who else could it be but Qing Zhi who could move Zhao Chun right under our noses? But this order to stop Zhao Chun was His Majesty's decree. How dare she disobey the order? I'm afraid she has rebellious intentions!"

The princes were already fiercely competing with each other, and now that Kong He had spoken, they understood each other implicitly. They knew that the other party wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Liu Xuan. After all, Qing Zhi was from the same clan as her, and the Six-Winged Bluebird Clan had only one prince like her. Regardless of whether Qing Zhi's actions were authorized by Liu Xuan, others would still link them together and not distinguish between them.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone nearby responded, "Taiyuan is to the north, and our Sun Palace is to the south. They can't have gone far! Why don't we surround Chibei Island first, capture Liu Xuan, and see when Zhao Chun comes out!"

The others thought about it for a moment and agreed that the method was feasible, so they changed direction and headed towards Chibei Island.

After walking for no more than twenty breaths, the shape of the Chibei Island could be seen from the sea. Kong He stopped and looked in that direction, but did not immediately take action. He felt that the island was too quiet and something was strange about it.

Under her command was a red-haired demon cultivator who had suffered a humiliating defeat outside Chibei Island at the instigation of Daoist Fan. Now holding a grudge, he hurriedly volunteered to Kong He, saying, "I am willing to share the Emperor's burden and go to investigate!"

Normally, considering the power of the sword intent on the island, he probably wouldn't dare to go forward to explore. Today, he only felt confident because he had Kong He behind him and the other imperial princes were also there. That's why he wanted to go up and show off his power so as to regain his face.

Kong He glanced at him and immediately knew what the other party was planning. He simply snorted and said, "Go, but don't come back with your tail between your legs this time."

The red-haired demon cultivator blushed slightly, but cursed inwardly before channeling his magic power to condense a crimson cloud beneath his feet and riding it forward.

Upon approaching, the red-haired demon cultivator suddenly felt his magical power somewhat blocked. When he reached out to touch it, his hands seemed to be pressed against an incomparably solid barrier. He remained there for less than two breaths before a burning pain shot through his palms, causing him to quickly withdraw his hands. He then stepped onto a crimson cloud and went back to report the matter.

When Kong He and the others heard what he said, they were even more surprised. It was one thing for others, but the red-haired demon cultivator was a descendant of the Sun Palace. Even the most extraordinary fires in the world had never been able to burn the Sun Palace Heavenly Demon. What could make him feel the burning pain must not be an ordinary method.

"Hiss, this restriction is inexplicably strange. Once you touch it for a long time, it feels like your magical power is boiling, which is very uncomfortable!"

Ling Yi withdrew his hand, his eyebrows furrowed deeply, and said bluntly, "It seems that Liu Xuan and the others made preparations long ago. If you are not in a hurry, I will send someone back to ask my mother if she knows the origin of this restriction."

The mention of Yan Tong still evoked a sense of awe in everyone present, and since there was no better solution at the moment, they could only nod in agreement.

On the island of Chibei, Zhao Chun also looked up at the sky and became aware of the invisible barrier. However, this awareness did not come from touching it, but rather from the bottom of her heart, as she felt a sense of familiarity with the aura above it.

She turned to look at Qingzhi, whose expression wasn't too good either. Perhaps guessing what Zhao Chun wanted to ask, she immediately answered without hesitation: "Don't worry, this is the method of our ancestors. Even if the Great Emperor himself came, it would take him quite a while to conquer this island."

Zhao Chun was also shocked to hear this. The only one in the world that Qingzhi could call an ancestor was the Golden Crow himself, who had been trapped under the Heavenly Sea Formation for an unknown period of time. If the other party had made contact with the descendants of the same clan, why would he take special measures to guard against the other Sun Palace Heavenly Demons?
Judging from the current situation, they don't seem to be of one mind.

Qingzhi looked somewhat weary, as if the teleportation technique she had just performed hadn't been easy for her. She then explained to Zhao Chun, "Your disciple isn't on the island now. Taking advantage of the chaos, I moved her to the south, where Elder Zhaoyan is looking after her. I brought you here today partly at the request of Immortal Feng, and partly as instructed by our ancestor." Hearing this, Zhao Chun couldn't help but recall Feng Shijing's words and asked, "The sect leader once told me that someone would come to ferry me across the East Sea. Is this the senior you're referring to?"

Qingzhi shook her head, her face still clouded with worry, and said, "Under these circumstances, I can barely protect myself, let alone save you. Zhao Chun, you don't know, Kong He, Ling Yi and the others came to stop you just now because they were acting on the Emperor's orders. These orders contradict what our ancestors said. Liu Xuan and I are following our ancestors' orders, which makes us traitors to the Sun Palace. But that's alright, since our ancestors are here, in terms of bloodline legitimacy, we are still on their side. I just don't know what His Majesty thinks, and who will command the three clans of the Sun Palace from now on?"

The Sun Palace Emperor had a disagreement with the Golden Crow himself!
When these words reached Zhao Chun's ears, it was as if the sect leader, Feng Shi, and his disciple, Qin Yishu, had disagreed, thus splitting into two factions. One was the orthodox sect based on law and principle, while the other had diligently led the sect for many years. If they were to attack each other, what would become of the disciples?

On Liu Xuan's side, Qingzhi and the others have already made their choices. Now that the news has been released, it remains to be seen how the other two clans and the elders will handle the situation.

Fortunately, Qingzhi had also perked up by then. While leading Zhao Chun toward the cave on the island, she said in a deep voice, "Our ancestor is waiting for you inside. Don't be surprised when you see her."

If she wasn't surprised, it meant that Qingzhi had already felt surprised about this matter. Zhao Chun's mood became slightly heavy. Realizing that she hadn't seen Liu Xuan since entering the island, another thought popped into her mind.

After walking for a while, Qingzhi stopped going forward. Seeing her mysterious expression, Zhao Chun had no choice but to push open the door and enter alone.

The moment he stepped through the palace gate, the aura of the person behind him vanished completely. Looking at the scene before him, he was clearly still on Chibei Island, but Zhao Chun felt as if he were in another world. This feeling was similar to entering a grotto-heaven, but different from that of entering a grotto-heaven. The only thing that could be compared to this was when he had an audience with the Emperor of the Sun Palace.

This might be the reason why magic and spells share the same origin, but Zhao Chun didn't think about it too deeply.

Then they saw a person standing near the hall. The person's figure and appearance were no different from Liu Xuan's, except that there was something different about the eyebrows and eyes. It was as if there was another person hidden in that body.

Zhao Chun sensed something was wrong, slightly furrowed her brows, and didn't go forward. She just stood there, watching the person in front of her with considerable vigilance.

"Liu Xuan" smiled, knowing that Zhao Chun had seen through her, so she simply said, "The Liu Xuan you know is a fragment of my soul. Now that the Netherwater Formation is broken, I have been able to escape and stand on my own. The reason I summoned you here is to repay my promise to Feng Shijing. He released me from the formation, and I will help you leave this realm. It is a win-win situation."

There were so many intriguing implications in those words that Zhao Chun didn't know where to begin, so she could only follow up on Liu Xuan's matter and ask, "A wisp of a divided soul?"

Liu Xuan, or perhaps the Golden Crow currently possessing Liu Xuan's body, waved for Zhao Chun to sit down in front of the hall, as if she wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with her. She said, "Indeed, although I am under the Netherwater Formation, my connection with this realm has always been quite strong. However, due to the Heavenly Sea Forbidden Formation, I cannot do many things myself, which is why I have to rely on others."

Zhao Chun's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately thought that the person she was impersonating was her senior sister Liu Xuan. After thinking for a moment, she dismissed the idea and said, "Senior is referring to our sect leader, Immortal Feng."

Jinwu nodded approvingly and said to her, "Back then, when Cui You was about to ascend to immortality, Feng Shi unexpectedly learned the inside story of the Heaven and Earth Furnace. As a result, he had to travel around looking for a solution, and even the position of sect leader had to be entrusted to Wen Sui. I then instructed him to take a wisp of my soul for future actions."

"This fragment of soul was initially planted into the descendant of the Sun Palace, but later it was strong in soul but weak in body, and could not last long. In addition, the Netherwater Array strongly rejects the descendants of the Sun Palace, so we had no choice but to let this fragment of soul reincarnate as a human so that it could be accepted. But in this way, it does not have my bloodline in its body, so it cannot become my incarnation."

Zhao Chun understood and sighed, "That's why she had to fight for a piece of Emperor Crow's blood."

"Just now Shi Rucheng claimed to be saving the world, and he wasn't wrong." Jinwu calmed down, his expression revealing neither joy nor anger, and said in a normal tone, "He wants to abandon the present world and create a new heaven. To do this, he must refine all the small worlds outside the Great Thousand Worlds, leaving only one world as the foundation of that heaven beyond heavens."

“Feng Shi refused to join forces with them, probably because he thought it was not a good strategy. Even if a new heaven was established, it would not last long. It would be better to look outward and find a way to save the world once and for all from other heavens.”

Jinwu stopped speaking at this point, looked at Zhao Chun with a deep gaze, and said calmly, "That's why I summoned you here."

For some reason, although she didn't say it outright, Zhao Chun suddenly realized and blurted out, "It was because of this incident that I was able to travel to this world."
