The improved female villains regained their memories.

"The inhuman supreme creation will utterly crush human greed!"

"A cruel demon, driven by self-gratification, will commit the greatest tragedy in human history to satisfy his own desires!"

"Finally, the Heavenly King who manipulates all living beings will abolish the current [Heavenly Way] and return everything to its former barbaric state!"

"Ling Tianxin... no, Ling Tiandu, I want to see how you, with your deductive abilities, will stop all of this?"

"This is my prediction and foreshadowing of you!"

Ling Tiandu laughed loudly, then lowered his head. This most talented person had used his own life to become a curse, firmly nailed to the main world.

Song Panning opened her eyes, and the shock slowly faded from them.

"I never imagined that our ancestor even knew these things."

It's truly remarkable that Song Qihao, living in the small world, was able to obtain such information about the affairs of the main world, the plans of the Heavenly Guardian Sect, and the exchange of the protagonist's destiny.

She sighed and looked at the array spirit before her with even greater respect.

"Senior, our ancestors arranged this for you to wait for me here, probably not just to show me these things."

Leng Yanran smiled and said, "That's right. Although Qi Hao used my brother's divination tools, to be honest, he's not very proficient in divination. He could only predict that his descendant would be the fifth female villain with extremely high talent in formations. He had me wait here not only to pass on this information to his descendants but also his formation inheritance. Child, now that you've seen this information, you must understand a lot. Qi Hao's exact words were that no matter what choice you make, he will support you without hesitation—"

"—Because you are his descendant."

Chapter 248 But, I love him

A sword technique imbued with lingering sword energy condensed in Leng Yanran's hand. She reached out and guided this power slowly towards Song Panning.

"This is the formation he spent his entire life researching. If you have heard his story, you will know that this is the Immortal Slaughtering Formation that brought him unparalleled glory. In his later years, he declined guests and went into seclusion alone. At that time, I had already become the formation spirit and could not accompany him for long. Before he died, he handed over this final version of the Immortal Slaughtering Formation to me, so that I could pass it on to the most crucial descendant."

Song Panning was knowledgeable about formations. The moment she came into contact with this formation, she trembled with excitement. Finally, she suppressed her excitement and asked, "What is the name of this formation?"

“It doesn’t have a name,” Leng Yanran said. “If you’d like, you can give it a name.”

"Very well, this junior thanks the senior and the ancestor."

Song Panning thanked her respectfully, while Leng Yanran smiled and waved her hand, instructing her, "Child, you must be careful. Your ancestors were afraid that the true teachings would fall into the hands of others, so they set up quite a few restrictions. You can slowly unlock them, step by step, and don't be too hasty."

"Don't worry, there's no need for that."

In an instant, Song Panning had completed the refining process and extracted all the true teachings.

Leng Yanran stared in utter astonishment: "You..."

Song Panning's talent in formations far surpasses that of Song Qihao.

"Senior, there is still something I don't understand. I wonder if I can ask you about it?"

Leng Yanran recovered from her shock and smiled, "My mission is complete. After all, I am a formation spirit. Once the formation is broken, it won't last long. You activated the formation on the flag, and it will still be some time before it breaks. I will do my best to answer you whatever I know."

Do you know where the clear sky is?

"The blue sky..."

Leng Yanran fell silent.

Those two short words brought her back to Song Qihao's later years.

Those were the days when she was a spirit of the formation. At that time, she could only watch her husband from afar as he lived alone on the edge of a cliff.

Without family or friends, Song Qihao distanced himself from the world and locked himself away.

In spring, when all flowers are in bloom and everything is reviving, she watched her husband go out for a while, and when he came back, he was holding a large bunch of flowers in his hands.

He placed the flowers in front of his formation, then stood alone in the courtyard, his eyes seemingly piercing through the heavens, lost in thought.

She had forgotten what her husband had said that day. She only remembered that it was a beautiful sunny day with warm sunlight. Her husband stood there, holding a flag in his hand, his eyes wandering around before finally settling on the doorway.

She seemed to hear him say, "Qingtian, come back, Qingtian."

"I'm sorry, I don't know where Qingtian is. Qihao didn't give me this information at the last moment, but I think he should know."

Leng Yanran made a startling statement: "What I showed you about the main world was what Qing Tian and Song Qihao said, so I think Qihao must have met Qing Tian in his later years."

"What? You mean our ancestor saw the clear sky in his later years?"

This was somewhat beyond Song Panning's expectations.

In the story, Song Qihao helped the temple staff set up the seal, and in his later years he lived in seclusion on the edge of a cliff. He probably never had the chance to see Qingtian.

“It’s true,” Leng Yanran said with certainty. “If he had control over these images of the main world, he could have given them to me earlier. But these things were temporarily placed on me before he died. He told me that he got them from an old friend and that I must pass them on to future generations first.”

Leng Yanran's mission is to inherit the formation technique.

However, Song Qihao's change before his death led the spirit to prioritize the transmission of this memory.

"He didn't tell me where Qingtian is. If you want to know, you'll have to find him yourself."

---------

The area is shrouded in mist and clouds, exuding an ethereal aura.

At the highest point of the mountain city, Song Panning stood, looking down at all the surrounding mountains.

The mountains in the mountain city are indeed very high, so high that the clouds are right at your feet. Thick clouds and fog obscured Song Panning's vision, making it hard for her to see reality.

She had never been here during her childhood. Her parents and elders often told her that this was a forbidden area of ​​the mountain city and the temple, and children were not allowed to come here casually. But now she was a goddess, and the temple's ruler had not appeared for a long time. Now, she was second only to the emperor, and naturally no one would stop her from coming here if she wanted to.

It was here that she saw a dilapidated courtyard.

"So that's it. The cliff mentioned in the story is here."

Hundreds of years have passed, and the ancient tree in the center of the courtyard still stands tall, its spiritual energy slowly emanating from it.

This is a broken formation, which Song Panning could sense as soon as she stepped into it.

"It's just an ordinary protective array; there's nothing worth exploring."

She searched carefully, but unfortunately, she found nothing.

Then she came to the edge of the cliff, looking at the vast sea of ​​clouds, and her heart was filled with emotion.

"My ancestors have given me so many things, but they haven't told me the location of the Azure Sky. Is it because they don't want me to disturb the Azure Sky?"

This is simply not possible.

After figuring everything out, Song Panning realized more and more that Song Qihao didn't actually want her to disturb Qingtian; on the contrary, he really wanted her to save Qingtian.

But where is Qingtian's clue? Even if Song Panning can understand the sealing layout of the mountain city, if she can't find the location of the imprisoned person and break the formation accordingly, the difficulty of breaking the formation will undoubtedly be much greater.

Song Panning stood on the edge of the cliff for a short while and saw the sea of ​​clouds churning, with endless spiritual energy emerging and scattering in all directions.

"Ok?"

Having received the inheritance of the formation, she quickly noticed something amiss. The depths of the sea of ​​clouds did not seem to have formed naturally, but rather showed signs of human intervention.

Sea of ​​clouds...

She pondered silently, regretting that she couldn't go there herself. There was nothing connecting the cliff edge to the sea of ​​clouds, and her cultivation level wasn't that of an immortal. Going there rashly might cause problems.

"The spiritual energy here is abundant and pure, but there seems to be a suppressive force at play."

She frowned and tried to fly on her sword, but found that she couldn't even control the spiritual energy of the sword.

“It’s not just the suppression; the closer I get to the edge of the cliff, the less stable my control over spiritual energy becomes. I’m just standing here, and I can’t even fly on my sword. If I were to force myself to fly there, then…”

She could hardly believe it.

The inheritance of the formation brought Song Panning a comprehensive improvement. For example, if she were to set up a formation now, not only would the speed be ten times faster than before, but the effectiveness of the formation would also be greatly improved.

Of course, the biggest improvement was in Song Panning's control over spiritual energy. However, even so, Song Panning still found it difficult to control spiritual energy on the edge of the cliff, which shows how much control the depths of the cloud sea exerted over a person's spiritual energy.

"This place is so strange, could it be that the Azure Heaven is suppressed here?"

But how is that possible?

The formation of the mountain city is designed for this mountain, while this sea of ​​clouds is something that floats in mid-air. Even if the sea of ​​clouds is strange, it cannot suppress people. At most, it will cause people to lose control of their spiritual energy, causing them to fall from mid-air and be smashed to pieces.

This also explains why this place has become a forbidden zone for the people of the mountain city. After all, even if you were an immortal, you would be smashed to pieces under this level of suppression. Forget about spiritual energy protection; you can't even control your own spiritual energy, so how can you protect yourself with spiritual energy?

"Was this place also arranged by our ancestors? If so, where is Qing Tian?"

Song Panning frowned. She had already explored almost all the methods her ancestors might have left behind, and even obtained the position of goddess, but she still hadn't solved this final mystery.

Where is the clear sky?

How did Song Ki-ho obtain the images of the main world?

Assuming that Song Qihao communicated with Qingtian in his later years, when and where did this communication take place?

However, putting those questions aside, Song Qihao has left behind quite a lot through these memorials.

It's not just the inheritance of formation techniques, but also his original deduction methods. In addition, he left behind a large number of formation blueprints, magical artifacts, and elixirs, all of which are stored with the formation spirit.

The greatest gain was not the inheritance of the formation, but the secret method of deduction. With it, Song Panning could also perform deductions like her ancestors and thus know the true intentions of the Heavenly Dao.

Looking at the sea of ​​clouds, Song Panning suddenly had an idea.

"Could it be that my ancestor wants me to use the divination secret method to deduce the position of the Azure Heaven myself? According to what my ancestor obtained from the divination secret method, the Heavenly Dao is behind the villain. So, if I am really the so-called female villain, the Heavenly Dao will definitely be on my side and will definitely give me the position of the Azure Heaven."

Immortal killing techniques are the most common path for immortals, for no other reason than their comprehensiveness. There are countless types of immortal killing techniques, including but not limited to destructive immortal killing techniques, forbidden immortal killing techniques, and miscellaneous immortal killing techniques. Deduction secret techniques are also one of the most common types of immortal killing techniques.

The method of deduction is an extremely mentally taxing technique. Those who practice it either learn it only occasionally and are therefore not proficient, or they study it exclusively and have no other mental energy to learn anything else. It has extremely high requirements for the user's talent, mental strength, physical strength, and energy. Moreover, its biggest side effect is shortening one's lifespan. The deeper one studies and uses it, the shorter one's lifespan will be.

Of course, the negative effects bring its power. The method of divination lies in predicting the future, verifying the past and present, seeing through the laws of heaven, and knowing good and bad fortune. Many immortals who have learned the method of divination have already won the war and obtained the greatest benefits before they even made a move. This is the power of the secret method of divination.

The divination method that Song Panning obtained was a rare one. It could not predict the future, nor verify the past or present, and it could not even know good or bad fortune. However, it was much more powerful than ordinary divination methods because it could communicate with the Way of Heaven.

If you gain the approval of Heaven, this secret technique will be of the greatest help to you; if you do not gain the approval of Heaven, then this secret technique is worthless.

This secret method has another drawback: everything is determined by the will of Heaven. Heaven will take from the excess and give to the deficient, so you never know when its instructions will turn into bad ones.

“My ancestors once received many hints from the Heavenly Dao through this secret method, which is why they arranged to leave these things to me. Since that’s the case, why don’t I give it a try?”

Without hesitation, Song Panning went to the abandoned courtyard where Song Qihao had lived in seclusion, activated the protective array, and immediately used the deduction technique.

After a long while, she opened her eyes, her gaze filled with both shock and anger.

"Yang Pingsheng is from another world; he's here to change me!?"

This was the first time Song Panning had lost her composure.
