Chapter 762: 762- Ancestor (02)
The moment those words rang in his ears, Qingyi’s heart gave a violent lurch inside his chest.
Without wasting a second, he opened her information screen, and his eyes widened at what flashed across it.
That bear was no mere Stellar Sovereign... She was a Celestial Empress! And not just any Celestial Empress, but one as ancient as Auranys herself.
[She is the wife of the golden dragon who slew the Celestial Father and founded the Celestial Heavens... be very careful... Do not reveal my existence to her!]
"Oh... Auranys, I’m just a senile old woman on the brink of death. Don’t worry, my dear, I pose no danger to you," the bear’s voice carried a gentle, almost maternal warmth. "I’ve even forgotten the battles of the past.
I just want to catch up with some old enemies and friends before I go. Come, step out of this weapon’s mind world—let me get a good look at you.
I must confess, I never imagined you’d fall into the hands of the heir to the Dragon God of Corruption, hahaha."
At those words, the cold gripping Qingyi’s heart only deepened.
That bear not only knew what the Heaven-Defying Thunder Sword was, but also his origin, and even his lineage.
Worse still, she somehow had the means to listen in on every conversation he held with his women inside the mind world of the Heaven-Defying Thunder Sword.
She was dangerous. Far too dangerous.
Qingyi hesitated, his eyes gradually filling with a sharp murderous intent. In silence, he began to prepare the token capable of annihilating even a celestial emperor.
The bear was dangerous, yes, but he, too, had his own trump cards.
"Oh... don’t be so hostile toward me, young one," the bear shook her enormous head, her beastly face taking on a hurt expression.
"I was just excited to see an old opponent from the past again. We fought ten times, and it all ended in a tie—five wins for me and five for her. You don’t need to worry so much about this dying old woman."
Qingyi wasn’t so easily fooled. He kept his gaze firmly fixed on the beast before him. "Do you know what the book I won from the tournament is?"
"I do," the bear nodded slowly, her enormous eyes shining with a nostalgic light.
"The Nine Paths of Creation Reversal Art. When my husband sacrificed himself to forge the heavens, he left it behind. It was by studying just a small fragment of it that he managed to create everything he did."
"This thing is already old, and, honestly, I have no further use for it. It’s much better off in the hands of a young person like you."
Qingyi’s eyes narrowed, but his mouth remained closed for long moments, each of her words echoing in his mind.
"Why? If I master the Aether, I’ll bring about the fall of the heavens."
"The heavens won’t fall—they’ll simply gain a new ruler," the bear replied calmly.
"My little daughter must be very lonely in that cold place, and I know that if you manage to break the heavens’ current dominion, you’ll be able to set her free."
Qingyi watched her in silence for a long time.
No matter how hard he looked, he couldn’t find even the slightest sign of a lie on her beast-like face.
"How did you know who I was to make this book the tournament’s reward?" Qingyi asked once more, his voice still heavy with caution.
"I didn’t know," the old bear shook her head, her lips curving into a small smile. "I just had a hunch—nothing more."
In the end, Qingyi could only let out a heavy sigh, his eyes filled with complicated thoughts.
"I know that a cultivation session led by me would be one of the rewards promised to you, but I can’t help you with anything beyond that. Would you like me to just send you back to the sect?"
"I can sense that you’re uncomfortable, and this old woman here just wanted to take a look at you—nothing more."
"That would be... good," Qingyi replied, returning to his human form.
His robes reappeared on his body, and the Heaven-Defying Thunder Sword materialized once more at his waist.
"Very well," the old bear smiled gently, waving one of her enormous claws.
A small talisman materialized in the air and flew toward Qingyi.
"Keep this by your side at all times. If it detects the presence of the Heavenly Demon around you, it will automatically teleport me to your location."
"I will protect you with my very life, for I have complete confidence that you will be able to shatter the heavens and rescue my dear little daughter."
"Thank you... Senior, I will never forget this!" Qingyi bowed deeply, clasping his fists in a sign of respect.
With a slight wave of her claws and a gentle smile on her face, the she-bear teleported Qingyi back to the sect.
When the handsome young man disappeared, leaving her alone in that silent space, the bear let out a long sigh, her eyes growing heavy.
A few months ago, she had sensed the presence of an old acquaintance of hers—one who, in theory, should have been dead long ago, but who, somehow, had been reborn.
"Ah... I think it’s time to pay her a little visit and find out what her interests are regarding this young man," the she-bear murmured, sighing once more.
Then, her enormous body dissolved, vanishing silently into the void.
Silently, Qingyi appeared at the heart of the Myriad Beasts Sect.
He pondered the old bear’s words at length, but in the end, he pushed them all out of his mind.
For now, what he needed most was to grow stronger.
It was time to improve his bloodline and study that new cultivation art!
The moment he entered a cultivation room, Qingyi didn’t hesitate for even a single instant. His eyes lit up with excitement as he sat down cross-legged.
Finally, he had some time to himself, and he intended to make the most of it.
With a big smile, he opened his status screen, clicking to improve his lineage and constitution once again.
