Perfect World: Sword of Legends

Chapter 209 Mother-Daughter Bond
It can be said that it was a very unwise choice for the Yutuo clan to cause trouble with the Chiwang clan, because the strength of these two imperial clans was no longer equal.

Fortunately, the Yutuo clan still has a powerful ally, the Anlan clan.

The situation of the Anlan clan is similar to that of the Chiwang clan. Both have lost one of their most powerful ancient ancestors, but the clan's combat power is still there.

Therefore, with the help of the Anlan clan, the Yutuo clan and the Chiwang clan confronted each other stubbornly.

Just when everyone thought that a war between the imperial clans was about to begin, several imperial decrees dropped from the sky and put a stop to this farce.

The decree came from several immortal kings. With the orders of the immortal kings, the Yutuo clan, the Anlan clan and the Chiwang clan had no choice but to obey and stop their actions.

However, everyone knows that the feud between the Yutuo clan and the Chi Wang lineage has been formed.

Although this incident was not entirely the fault of the Red King, the Yutuo clan needed someone to divert their hatred, so the Red King's lineage had to take the blame.

In addition to this, there is another very strange thing, that is, many immortal kings have disappeared.

After the Immortal King's investigation, bloodstains were found in the retreat places of those missing Immortal Kings, belonging to those missing Immortal Kings.

Such an emergence gave the immortal kings of foreign lands an ominous premonition.

Especially when they discovered that those missing Immortal Kings were basically people invited by An Lan and Yu Tuo, the truth became clear.

"Damn executioner! She did all this. She is so despicable that she actually sneaked into our world to assassinate the Immortal King!"

After understanding what was going on, the Immortal Kings were shocked and angry at Yun Ying's audacity and recklessness.

Throughout history, no one has ever dared to do such a crazy thing in a foreign land. Only Yun Ying dared to be the first.

"This person is vindictive and cruel to the extreme!"

Although they were shocked and angry, the immortal kings from foreign lands all understood that Yun Ying was not a good person.

"This matter must not be made public. It is too shocking. Several immortal kings were assassinated and died quietly."

The immortal kings from foreign lands blocked this news.

"You alone have turned this world upside down. You are truly worthy of me."

When the Will of the World Tree saw what was happening, it couldn't help but sigh at Yun Ying's power.

However, what it found most amazing was the matter of Chi Wang. Yun Ying actually turned him into one of her own. It was not just an ordinary case of turning an enemy into a friend, but turning the other party into one of her own, even changing his gender.

This is an incredible thing in the eyes of those immortal kings.

Even the assassination of the Immortal King was not as shocking as this incident.

Rumble!
Blood-red lightning flashed in the sky, and blood rain covered the universe, falling non-stop as if there was no end.

Only those who are not immortals understand why this bloody rain covers such a large area and keeps falling. It is because the immortal kings who died at Yun Ying’s hands are not just Yu Tuo and the other two.

This also includes the immortal kings who were previously assassinated by Yun Ying. They died one after another in the same period of time.

It was obvious that Yun Ying had not had time to deal with them before, and was only dealing with them now, killing all of their souls.

"This hatred is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea!"

Looking at the blood-red sky, the Immortal King from the foreign land's hatred for Yun Ying had reached its peak. This bloody rain made all the supreme powers from the foreign land lose face.

In the deepest part of the foreign land, there is an ancient land floating in the starry sky.

There is a temple in the ancient land, emitting a light golden glow, which is extremely sacred. Accompanied by the rain of light, it makes this place look extremely peaceful.

Outside the temple, there was a figure with white hair. It was the Immortal King Wushang.

He was severely injured by the Immortal Dao Body some time ago, and suffered the Great Dao Injury. His realm almost fell a lot. If it weren't for the Immortal Kings who took action and worked together to remove the power of time for him, he would not have been able to maintain his realm as the top Immortal King.

Now, in order to gain the power of revenge, Wushang came here to practice.

Blood rain was falling from the sky. Wushang heard the thunder, opened his eyes, and saw the glaring blood color, hatred boiling in his eyes.

Soon, he closed his eyes and immersed himself in the golden light rain that fell from the temple.

This golden rain of light was sacred and mysterious. It fell on Wushang, making him feel as if he was immersed in the ocean of the Tao.

"Go...find that thing for me..."

A strange voice sounded from the temple and directly reached Wushang's mind.

This voice was like a devil's sound filling Wushang's ears, leaving him completely unprepared, as if it were a father speaking to his son.

Inexplicably, something was planted in Wushang's mind.

On the other side, beneath the sky abyss, Yun Ying and the Immortal Dao Body refined the flesh bodies of those immortal kings and extracted wisps of pure dark origin.

"As expected, the origin of the blood of these immortal kings is darkness."

Yun Ying looked at the strands of dark origin that were extracted. Each strand was the same as the dark origin that was extracted from An Lan's body, as crystal clear as black jade.

These dark origins give people a feeling that is both sacred and evil.

"So, my body can also extract the essence of darkness."

The immortal Tao body talks to itself.

Her physical body is from the time beast clan, and is the nirvana fetus of the Red King. Since she is a most powerful creature from an alien race, she must have been eroded by the source of darkness.

"Forget it, you still have to use it."

Yun Ying glanced at her. She had finally obtained this body and couldn’t lose it so soon.

"It's time to go back."

Yun Ying was not in a hurry to refine these dark origins, but sealed them up and planned to refine them slowly after returning.

In the blink of an eye, almost a year has passed.

"According to my calculations, the Dharma Ending Age will surely arrive within a hundred years, and there is not much time left for the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

The Immortal Dao felt something in his body and mind, fragments of time were dancing in his fiery red eyes, and a long river was surging, never stopping.

"A hundred years? For mortals, it's a lifetime. For cultivators, it's just a retreat. For us, it's just a snap of a finger."

Yunying's voice was long and had a sense of vicissitudes.

“Before the arrival of the Dharma Ending Age, there will be changes in the darkness,” the Immortal Taoist Body said again.

"It doesn't matter. Just suppress them all. There are still some things to do before heading to the sea."

Yun Ying smiled faintly, she already had an idea in her mind.

The Immortal Taoist Body nodded. She knew that Yun Ying had already planned everything in her mind.

"I wonder how the little girl who called me Fairy Sister is doing?"

Yun Ying looked towards the direction of Diguan and a smile appeared on her face.

It was the first time she wanted to take in a disciple. Although she was a little girl of four or five years old, she boldly called her "Fairy Sister" when they met for the first time.

It was precisely because of this call of Fairy Sister that she decided to take someone as her disciple.

"Master, have you really decided to accept Shi Xiaoqin as your apprentice?"

Before going back, Xiao Zi asked this question again.

In her opinion, the master's disciple must be talented enough. If Shi Xiaoqin is not talented enough, no matter how good her character is, she is not qualified to be the master's disciple. "Xiao Zi, you still take some things too seriously."

Yunying smiled and shook her head.

The Immortal Dao Body also laughed, "Xiao Zi, you have to understand, as the saying goes, a master can only lead you to the door, but the practice depends on yourself. How much Xiao Qin can learn depends on herself."

"No matter how talented she is, she is destined to be with me. This fate is worth it for me to teach her the way of the sword."

"Xiao Zi, you too, you were originally an elixir of life, but because of me you are different. You are no longer just an elixir of life. You should practice, become stronger, and find your own way to heaven."

Yun Ying raised her white hand and gently stroked the purple jade hairpin that Xiao Zi had transformed into.

Xiao Zi heard some other meaning from Yun Ying's words and suddenly fell silent.

"Master, can't you really take Xiao Zi with you all the time?"

Xiao Zi's voice was a little muffled. It knew that it couldn't always stay with Yun Ying, because Yun Ying would become stronger and stronger and go to dangerous places to fight.

Although it is different from the elixir of life and has the combat power of a true immortal, it is obviously unrealistic to want to accompany Yunying to fight.

"Although you call me master, I have never regarded you as a servant, Xiao Zi. My blood flows in your body. In a way, you are my child."

Yunying smiled slightly, her voice carrying a hint of tenderness.

This is what she thought at the very beginning, even though Xiao Zi insisted on calling her master.

"Really? Master, do you really treat me as your child?"

Hearing Yun Ying say this, Xiao Zi was extremely shocked, astonished, excited, happy, and moved, and her emotions were extremely complicated.

"Of course, you are my child. Why, Xiao Zi doesn't want to be my child?"

Yun Ying nodded, her eyes full of smiles.

"Yes, Xiao Zi is willing!"

At this time, Xiao Zi couldn't bear it any longer, and no longer maintained the appearance of the purple jade hairpin, but turned into a purple dragon and phoenix and soared into the sky.

The purple dragon and phoenix were filled with immortal aura, with overwhelming pressure from immortals and brilliant light, and then they changed into human form.

Soon, a purple-haired girl appeared in front of Yunying and the Immortal Dao Body.

The girl looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, with purple hair and a purple feather dress. She was surrounded by a fairy aura, had skin as white as snow, and straight and slender legs. She looked very pretty and cute.

Moreover, the girl's face was 70% similar to Yun Ying's, with eyes like purple gems, sparkling, and a cherry mouth.

She looks like Yunying's daughter.

"In this way, I am also a person who has a daughter."

The Immortal Taoist Body looked at Xiao Zi who had turned into a human body. He could clearly understand Yun Ying's feelings and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

Although she is not Yunying's biological child, Xiao Zi has been with Yunying for so many years, and they are related by blood, so how could there be no family affection?

Xiao Zi looked at Yun Ying and the Immortal Dao Body, her little face showing both excitement and hesitation. She wanted to step forward, but was a little timid.

She was a little scared, afraid that what she saw was all an illusion, a dream that would disappear when she woke up.

"What's wrong, Xiao Zi, why don't you call me mother?"

Yun Ying looked at Xiao Zi tenderly with a smile on her face, and opened her arms as if she was waiting for something.

"Mother!"

Finally, Xiao Zi shouted out, and like a swallow returning to its nest, she threw herself into Yun Ying's arms.

Yunying was very happy while holding Xiao Zi in her arms. She was also a mother now, and this child had her blood.

As for the other party's true identity, it no longer matters.

She gently stroked Xiao Zi's hair and felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart, as if all the wishes of both lives had come true at this moment.

"After two lifetimes, I finally have a child. Is this what it feels like to have a child? It makes me feel happy from the bottom of my heart."

The Immortal Taoist Body looked at the hugging mother and daughter and smiled with relief.

Although they are not biological children, they are better than biological children.

After Xiao Zi successfully transformed into the elixir of immortality with Yunying's help, she has been staying by Yunying's side. At that time, her mental state was that of a child of a few years old.

Until now, Xiao Zi's mind has gradually matured, and she seems like a child raised by Yun Ying herself.

In Xiao Zi's heart, she might have already regarded Yun Ying as her own parent, but she did not dare to have such high expectations, so she called her master.

And now, Yun Ying recognized her as her own child, and the two of them became real mother and daughter at this moment.

"Xiao Zi, don't forget, there is still a mother here."

The Immortal Dao Body said with a smile.

"Mother Yunling," Xiao Zi turned and threw herself into the arms of the Immortal Taoist Body.

"Haha, I never thought that I would become a mother one day."

The Immortal Dao Body smiled. Her existence was very special. She had no real body, and this body was borrowed by her.

Even if Yunying gave birth to a child in the future, she would never be able to have one.

However, now that she and Yunying have both become mothers, this experience is rare and precious.

Yun Ying looked at them with a smile. She had been pursuing the great way in her two lives, and in this life she had dedicated herself to the way of swordsmanship.

She thought she would not give birth to her own bloodline, but Xiao Zi's existence was equivalent to the continuation of her bloodline, making her life more complete.

"This is fate, the fate between mother and daughter. It was destined the moment they met."

Yun Ying's eyes were deep. She followed the long river of time back to the cave of Xian Gu and saw herself and Xiao Zi.

"Okay, time to go back to Diguan."

As their thoughts returned, Yun Ying interrupted them.

"Mother, I want to learn your sword god way."

Xiao Zi spoke boldly. She knew that even if Shi Xiaoqin became her mother's disciple, she might not be able to learn the way of the sword god.

Strictly speaking, the Sword God Way is a peerless sword art developed by Yun Ying, which is unique to her. It is difficult for outsiders to learn it, let alone imitate it.

The reason why Yun Ying told Shi Xiaoqin that he would teach her sword was not because he wanted to teach her the way of the sword god directly, because everyone's way of swordsmanship is different.

She will guide Shi Xiaoqin into the sect, allowing Shi Xiaoqin to understand her own sword and her own swordsmanship.

Xiao Zi has been with Yun Ying for so many years, and she understands Yun Ying's thoughts quite well. She knows that Yun Ying will not let others learn his sword art casually.

The reason why Yun Ying agreed to pass on the Dharma to Shi Hao was because Shi Hao had already embarked on his own path. Yun Ying's Dharma would only provide him with a reference but would not influence his own path.

Teaching, imparting knowledge and resolving doubts are what a true teacher does.

"Okay, since my daughter wants to learn, then let her learn."

Yun Ying looked at Xiao Zi and easily saw through her little thoughts, but she still nodded and agreed without refusing.
