After taking the handkerchief, Zhong Liyan realized that she was already in tears. She quickly wiped away the remaining tears.
"Although I don't recognize this sword, I think someone knows it." Fu Hua said softly.
"Eh?"
Hearing Fu Hua's words, Zhong Li Yan was stunned. Who on earth would recognize a sword that even the Chiyuan Immortal didn't recognize?
"Just wait and see."
Fu Hua flipped her hand and a red feather appeared in her hand. Fu Hua lightly touched the hilt of the sword with the feather and a stream of light slowly rose from the hilt.
"This is?"
Zhongli Yan looked at Fu Hua in surprise. Is this the method used by the Red Kite Immortal?
"Although I don't recognize this sword, I can tell that there is a huge consciousness attached to it."
"Consciousness?"
"You can simply understand it as soul."
Seeing Zhong Li Yan's dazed look, Fu Hua knew that she probably didn't know the true function of this sword.
Although the brief inspection just now did not allow Fu Hua to fully understand the function of this sword, she could still perceive the general usage of this sword.
As Fu Hua raised her hand, the stream of light was pulled out by her and then quickly expanded into a human figure.
When he saw this figure, Zhong Li Yan's eyes suddenly widened and he shouted out unconsciously.
"Father?!"

Chapter 78
"Father?!"
Looking at the soul floating out from the sword, Zhong Li Yan was surprised to find that the person was the father he had been looking for for a long time.
"what on earth is it?"
Looking at the familiar person in front of her, Zhongli Yan opened her red lips slightly, her eyes full of disbelief. She didn't know why the father she had been looking for for many years suddenly appeared in the sword he left behind, why her father left her alone that year, and what exactly did this sword mean?
Standing there in a daze, Zhong Li Yan was shocked by the huge impact and couldn't calm down for a long time.
"It seems that this is the true purpose of this sword."
Fu Hua was also somewhat shocked when she saw the soul floating out of the sword, but the 50,000 years of life had made her calm enough, so she was not too surprised. However, when she looked at the sword, her eyes were quite complicated.
(Storing souls... I really don't know who created this. If it were...)
Shaking her head, Fu Hua drove away all the distracting thoughts and looked at Zhong Liyan quietly. Since Zhong Liyan knew a soul, it would be best for her to ask.
As if he had just awakened, the old man with a soul-like look slowly opened his eyes. There was no divine light in his eyes, but within a breath, his eyes were filled with divine light again.
"Has this day finally come?"
It seemed that he had sensed Zhong Li Yan's breath the moment he woke up. The old man sighed slightly, then gave Zhong Li Yan a big smile.
"Long time no see~Ayan."
Zhong Liyan, who was originally stunned, was awakened by this sentence. She immediately shouted without caring about her appearance: "Long time no see! Why are you here!!"
“Well, there are many things.”
The old man scratched his head and said calmly.
Seeing her long-lost father like this, Zhong Liyan was stunned for a moment. She was so angry that she grabbed the hilt of the sword and shook it up and down madly. It seemed that her body was restrained within a certain range of the sword. The old man's soul began to swing wildly with Zhong Liyan's movements.
"Hey, hey, hey, stop, stop, how can you behave like a child?"
"How could a father be like you? Just abandoning his daughter and disappearing? After searching for so many years, I found you hiding in this sword? Then what have I been looking for all these years!"
As she spoke, Zhong Li Yan began to cry, with tears as big as beans flowing uncontrollably, and her originally beautiful voice became a little hoarse.
"Hey……"
Seeing Zhong Li Yan's expression, the old man's original movements froze, and he paused for a moment, and finally turned into a sigh.
"I'm sorry, but I have something I have to tell you. If possible, I even hope that you will never find me in your life."
"Old man! What do you mean?"
Zhong Liyan questioned the old man.
The old man did not answer directly, but asked: "Let me ask you, have you ever seen Xiang Shu?"
"Xiang Shu?"
When asked by the old man, Zhong Li Yan nodded subconsciously. If she was not mistaken, the one who appeared at the Holy Fire Conference before was Xiang Shu. As for what appeared later, he didn't know.
"Sure enough... this day has finally arrived."
The old man sighed slightly when he heard Zhong Liyan's answer.
"What does this have to do with Xiang Shu?"
Zhong Liyan, who was shocked by the huge impact, was in no mood to play guessing games with his father.
"Ayan, do you remember your name?"
"My name? Isn't my name Zhong Liyan...ah!"
Zhong Li Yan answered subconsciously, but the next moment she suddenly felt a piercing pain in her head. The severe pain made her scream out. She hugged her head tightly, and it took a long time for the piercing pain to gradually subside.
"Forgive me, child. I must use this method to remind you of your name and your true mission."
There was a hint of helplessness and sadness in the old man's eyes. If possible, he did not want his children to inherit this mission, because this was a road of no return. However, there was no other way. This was their innate mission and the responsibility they had to shoulder. This responsibility was called Taiwu.
"Taiwuyan... My name is Taiwuyan."
Zhongli Yan, perhaps she should become Taiwu Yan now, stared blankly at her palms. At this moment she understood why the stories about Taiwu told by her father were so familiar in her memory, and why she would subconsciously exorcise the curse when facing Xiang Shu.
It turns out that all of this is because she is also Taiwu, the Taiwu who inherited the mission of expelling Xiangshu.
"Father...I..."
The series of events confused Taiwuyan's mind, and for a moment she didn't know what to say or what to ask.
"Good boy, you should rest for a while. The seal that was left behind must have caused you a lot of pain."
The old man compassionately guided Tai Wuyan to sit down and rest, then he turned to look at Fu Hua who was listening quietly on the side.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh. I'm sure you have many questions. Let me take this opportunity to answer them."
The old man smiled and looked at Fu Hua and said.
"Then I'd better obey your command respectfully."
Fu Hua didn't hesitate, after all, she also had a lot of things she wanted to know.
"May I ask who exactly you are, or what era exactly are you two from?"
"Is it so exciting right from the start..."
The old man didn't expect Fu Hua to get straight to the point right away.
"Well, let me answer one or two questions for you."
"Your Excellency's guess is correct. Ah Yan and I are not from this time."
The old man stated the surprising fact in a very relaxed tone, but this did not affect Fu Hua.
"If I have to say, Ayan and I are not even from this world."
"The world is a bubble...it is indeed so." Listening to the old man's words, Fu Hua confirmed her thoughts in her heart. She knew the world bubble theory.
After all, in the last era, among the various plans proposed by Dr. Mei was the Hengsha Plan for observing the world, so the existence of the world bubble was not difficult for Fu Hua to understand.
"Is that what you guys call it? We call it the secret realm, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't affect anything."
The old man sighed and said, "Our world has been destroyed, and the murderer is Xiang Shu."
"Oh?"
Listening to the old man's words, Fu Hua frowned. According to what Xier said, that thing shouldn't be so powerful.
"After our world was destroyed, I was able to escape with Ah Yan because I held the Fu Yu Sword and ended up in this world."
"Since the world was destroyed, I lost the idea of revenge. After all, everything I once cherished became nothing. Compared to the past, I wanted to watch Ah Yan grow up. So I settled down in a remote place with Ah Yan, and our life was pretty good."
"However, the good times didn't last long. When I was out one day, I unexpectedly discovered Xiang Shu's aura. I had lost all my fighting spirit against Xiang Shu. However, they actually wanted to find A Yan, which made me furious. However, since I left the handle of the Fu Yu sword to A Yan, without the blessing of the Fu Yu sword, I could only rely on the remaining trace of internal strength to fight them."
"Although the process was very difficult, I still managed to kill them. But just when I returned home to rest, a person who was possessed by the devil sneaked up to my house and dealt me a fatal blow."
"Although I wiped it out with my last breath, I was also exhausted. Fortunately, after each generation of Taiwu died, they would transfer their pure internal energy into the Fu Yu Sword to ensure the strength of the next generation of Taiwu. It was with this characteristic that I turned into a soul and temporarily existed in the Fu Yu Sword. Then, after sealing A Yan's memory, I fell into a deep sleep."
Chapter 79
After listening to the old man's story quietly, Fu Hua was filled with emotion. Her story was so similar to the old man's.
The same disaster, the same mission of the world's survival, and the same person who failed to complete the mission. The only difference is that she protected the fire of mankind and survived. The old man died after leaving behind the fire of Taiwu Yan.
Looking at the old man who was telling his story bit by bit, Fu Hua nodded gently. She also had a little more respect for the old man in her heart. After all, she was once the one who took on the responsibility of saving the world.
"I have a general idea, so what do you want me to do to help you?"
Fu Hua said as she looked at the old man in front of her who had a sad expression.
"Forehead……"
The old man's sad expression froze for a moment, then he looked at Fu Hua with a helpless smile and said to Fu Hua: "No, I've said it so sentimentally, isn't it worth empathizing with me?"
"Um, don't you need my help with something?"
Hearing the old man's words, Fu Hua was stunned. The old man said so much to her and described her so miserably. Wasn't it just that he wanted her to take care of Zhong Liyan more? Could she have guessed wrong? (Straightforward woman Fu Hua was in a state of downtime.)
"Well... that's not wrong..."
The old man didn't know what to say for a moment. He really didn't expect that this "immortal" who had lived for at least 50,000 years would speak so directly. Is this the immortal's detachment from the world?
"Okay, I apologize. Although what I said is true, I do want to ask you to help Ah Yan."
The old man looked at himself helplessly and said, "The Fu Yu Sword is not able to preserve a person's soul unconditionally. Whenever a new Taiwu appears, the Fu Yu Sword will transfer the internal energy of all previous sword masters into her body, and the souls of all previous sword masters will completely sleep in the Fu Yu Sword. However, now only the hilt of the Fu Yu Sword remains. Although the function of transmitting internal energy has not disappeared, the ability to preserve souls has completely failed."
"Oh? That means that now that you have woken up, you are..."
Fu Hua immediately guessed what the old man meant. The fact that the soul could not be preserved meant that the old man was consuming his own soul to stay in the world. If the remaining soul was consumed, he would probably...
"You guessed right, but it doesn't matter. After all, I am just a person from the old times. I have no worries after seeing my children grow up."
He glanced at Taiwu Yan who was meditating with his eyes closed and said, "Now Ah Yan is receiving the infusion of inner strength. When it is over, I will completely disappear without the inner strength. But it is good this way. Now I can go downstairs to see my old comrades with peace of mind."
"..."
Fu Hua did not speak. Although she had the divine key that controlled Yu Duchen's consciousness, the old man was obviously no longer capable of doing business. The only obsession that had sustained him through all these years was not satisfied yet. The best approach was not to interfere with his choice.
As the energy coming from Taiwuyan at the side gradually increased, the old man's body began to blur. He looked at Taiwuyan again and said, "Sir, I can see that you have also experienced these things, so I want to hand Ah Yan over to you."
"Well, yes, I can accept her as my disciple, but it depends on her own ideas."
Fu Hua nodded slightly. This was quite simple for her.
"Then I would like to thank you first. Of course, I won't ask for your help for nothing."
The old man gently touched his forehead, and then a ray of light was gently brought out by him. Then the old man handed it to Fu Hua and said: "This is all the martial arts from my world, I want to pass it on to you."
"Why not just leave it to her?"
"I do want to, but martial arts cannot be learned overnight. Even if she understands how to practice, how can someone who has never practiced martial arts become a master all of a sudden?" the old man said with a sigh.
"Actually, I also have selfish motives. I hope that after you learn these, you can pass them on to Ah Yan. Even if she can't learn them, I don't want these remaining things to be lost. After all, these are the only things left in my world."
Listening to the old man's words, Fu Hua fell into deep thought. She thought of the plans made by Dr. Mei. Aren't they also trying to preserve their own civilization as much as possible? Her own Spark Plan and the Ark that had been lost for a long time were probably Dr. Mei's last struggle for her civilization. Maybe everyone guessed wrong, and Dr. Mei might be the most emotional one.
After a long time, Fu Hua nodded gently, took a feather and accepted the gift from the old man.
"I accepted."
"Hehe, that's good."
