Chapter 2406 - 2407: Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady
Chapter 2406: Chapter 2407: Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady
This is a room located at the top floor of the Medicinal Workshop.
Because the Medicinal Workshop is situated at the highest point of Yangcheng County, when you stand in front of the room’s window, you feel as if the entire Yangcheng County is beneath your feet.
At least that’s how Xue An felt.
"You...are from the Hua Clan!"
The sudden question startled Xue An, making him turn his gaze from the window and nod.
"Yes!"
Although it was clear from the beginning, hearing Xue An’s admission still caused the Heavenly Maiden to shudder.
"So it is... Is Earth well now?"
Xue An quietly looked at the woman, before slowly saying, "Spiritual energy has returned!"
These simple four words held profound meanings.
"I never thought that after leaving Earth for so long, I could still see someone from the Hua Clan!" the Heavenly Maiden sighed lightly, then looked at Xue An.
"Are you curious about my identity?"
Xue An chuckled and shook his head, "Not curious!"
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
"Because I know who you are!" Xue An said calmly.
"Impossible!" The Heavenly Maiden could hardly believe her ears.
But with Xue An’s next words, she was rendered speechless.
"Actually, I would also like to know how you, a deity of the Hua Clan, ended up here!"
Hearing "deity of the Hua Clan," the Heavenly Maiden’s eyes glinted sharply, staring intently at Xue An.
"How do you know that?"
With her questioning, a powerful aura emanated from the woman, forcing Xue An to take a few steps back.
Even so, Xue An remained unperturbed, simply smiling faintly.
"Is it really that hard to guess?"
Watching Xue An’s composed face, the Heavenly Maiden gradually withdrew her aura and lowered her gaze, "Well yes, having obtained Zhu Rong’s fire, it’s no wonder you could discern my identity!"
With that, the Heavenly Maiden raised her head again, slowly removing her veil to reveal a stunningly beautiful face.
"I am indeed a deity from the Hua Clan. My former name was Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady."
Upon hearing this name, Xue An raised an eyebrow slightly, but quickly suppressed his thoughts.
Because at that moment, the Heavenly Maiden continued to speak.
"Since you have reached this place, you surely know about the past calamity of the Hua Clan, don’t you?"
Xue An nodded, "In fact, I came here to investigate this matter!"
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady’s expression turned eager, "Did you find any clues?"
Xue An shook his head, "I found some leads, but haven’t found the true culprit yet!"
But the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady focused on something else, urgently asking, "Apart from these, have you seen any other Hua Clan deities on Earth or in the multiverse?"
Xue An looked amusedly at the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, "Why do you ask?"
"It’s nothing, I’m just looking for an old friend! But nevermind, asking you is probably useless, given your age, it’s impossible for you to have met them anyway!" Disappointment was written all over the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady’s face.
A strange light flickered in Xue An’s eyes as he calmly said, "You haven’t answered my question. How did you, a deity of the Hua Clan, end up here?"
Upon hearing Xue An’s question, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady sighed, "It’s a long story. Back then...."
She paused, her face revealing a look of nostalgia.
"Back then, I fought alongside other immortals against the invading evil clans. But the enemy’s strength was overpowering, we suffered defeat after defeat, and countless compatriots died."
"Eventually, the entire Heavenly Court and the three clans of gods, demons, and monsters united for a final resistance!"
"That battle stretched from day to night, and from night to dawn, countless deities perished, their blood staining entire mountains red."
"Yet the enemy was inexhaustible, and in this hopeless situation, almost everyone despaired!"
"We had lost all hope, ready for a last stand, when a mysterious light enveloped us deities!"
A look of horror crossed her eyes as she spoke.
"I cannot describe the power of that light, I only know that after it enveloped us, I blinked, and when I opened my eyes again, I found myself alone in the Sky Beyond the Skies!"
"Just like that?" Xue An raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, just like that!"
"What about the other deities that disappeared with you?"
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady smiled bitterly, "Honestly, I’ve been searching for them all these years but found nothing!"
Xue An fell silent.
He recalled that a long time ago, when he eradicated Lord Lihen in the multiverse, he mentioned something similar.
The scene he described was almost identical to what the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady said.
In the final moments of despair, a mysterious light enveloped the deities of the Hua Clan, making them disappear.
The only difference was that the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady was among those whisked away.
As Xue An pondered, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady continued, "Being proficient in medicine, I established the medical alliance with other experts here, and after traversing that mysterious light, I found my abilities had advanced tremendously, and I never aged, so I waited here, hoping to meet someone from the Hua Clan one day!"
Finishing her words, she looked up at Xue An.
"That’s why I am here. Now...it’s your turn!"
Xue An smiled, "My story is simple; I was just an ordinary person on Earth, later by chance, I embarked on the path of cultivation, thereafter..."
Xue An briefly recounted how he cultivated and learned of the Hua Clan’s calamity.
But when he spoke of seeking the real culprit and arriving here, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady couldn’t help but be moved.
"You walked this path step by step?"
"Yes!"
She remained silent for a while, finally sighing.
"So the highly-touted Bing Family prodigy is you!"
Xue An smiled again but said nothing.
"Nevertheless, as a member of the Hua Clan and as a deity, I must look after you. Tell me, is there anything you need help with?" the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady earnestly asked.
Xue An shook his head, "No need for help, but there’s something I think you might recognize!"
"What might that be?" the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady asked, surprised.
With a flick of his wrist, Xue An revealed a piece of Jade Decree in his palm.
Upon seeing it, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady trembled violently.
