Chapter 1480: Dawn

Chapter 1480: Chapter 1480: Dawn

The girl looked at Yang Yan with a bit of astonishment, her innocent face was filled with a resolute determination to face death fearlessly.

She raised her head towards Yang Yan and said coldly, "Do as you wish, whether it’s to kill or carve!"

After saying this, she fell silent, entirely adopting an appearance of facing death with equanimity.

Yang Yan smiled wryly.

How could he possibly strike?

The girl in front of him had grown up, yet she was unmistakably Dawn!

Girls change significantly as they grow, and Yang Yan almost didn’t recognize her.

However, she looked exactly like his mother, so Yang Yan recognized her at first glance.

Just that, at the moment, Dawn seemed to be in her early twenties, her gaze even sharper than her mother’s by three degrees, and her strength was undeniably impressive.

"Xiao’Er, do you not remember me?" Yang Yan laughed awkwardly, saying, "I am your godfather, Yang Yan!"

Upon hearing Yang Yan call her Xiao’Er, a glint of confusion flickered in the girl’s eyes, akin to a young leopard’s.

"Who are you calling, Xiao’Er, who is that? Yang Yan... this name is so familiar..." She asked with a frown, eyeing Yang Yan up and down as if searching her memory.

Seeing Dawn like this, Yang Yan couldn’t help but feel a sinking sensation in his heart.

Could it be amnesia?

In theory, although over thirty years had passed on the Wandering Dragon Star, apart from being a little more mature, Yang Yan’s appearance hadn’t changed much.

Logically, Dawn should be able to recognize him instantly.

"Your name is Dawn! Your father is called Sun, and I am his good brother, Moonlight, Yang Yan!" Yang Yan did not give up, hoping to awaken Dawn’s memory with these familiar names.

"You’re right, I am called Dawn. Your name is very familiar..." Dawn was still trying hard to think, with a gaze now holding less hostility.

Yang Yan suddenly thought of a possibility, had Dawn’s memory been sealed?

But this kind of seal was not malicious; it should have been to allow her to cultivate without distractions.

Because he realized that with Dawn’s strength, in theory, it was impossible for her to blend her aura so perfectly with the surrounding environment — it was likely achieved by using this undistracted manner without memories.

In that case, it would be easy to handle.

Without warning, Yang Yan disappeared from his original spot and appeared in front of Dawn out of thin air.

Originally lost in thought, she didn’t react at all and found a hand pressing on her crown.

Boom!

A torrent-like force surged into her Sea of Consciousness, and the previously calm sea surface began to boil.

As the sea churned, countless fragmented memories transformed into streaks of golden light enveloping the sea surface, and the entire Sea of Consciousness returned to peace.

Roar!

At this moment, a roar suddenly erupted, causing the Sea of Consciousness to shake violently.

This is...

Yang Yan frowned, he suddenly saw a dark shadow shooting up from below the sea surface.

A Qilin!

Although it was still in its juvenile stage, the fierce and domineering aura on it even made the divinely endowed Yang Yan feel a shock.

Lifebound Soul Beast?!

Previously, Yang Yan only saw the legacy from Sun on Dawn, but now he was abruptly aware that the little girl actually possessed an even more terrifying trump card.

Needless to say, this must originate from her mysterious mother.

Although her mother possessed the Qilin bloodline, she did not have a Lifebound Soul Beast.

Yang Yan couldn’t help but feel happy for her.

Originally, this young Ancient Qilin appeared with a menacing aura, seemingly ready to attack Yang Yan’s wisp of soul sense at any moment, but seeing the surrounding golden light, it hesitated, then dived back into the depths of the Sea of Consciousness.

About a minute later, after Dawn absorbed all these recombined memories, tears streamed down her face.

Ecstatically calling out ’godfather,’ she leapt into Yang Yan’s embrace, sobbing.

Watching Dawn cry like a tearful mess, Yang Yan found it hard to reconcile her with the skinny little girl he remembered who was as thin as a bamboo sprout.

Indeed, time flows like water, and girls undergo significant changes as they grow.

However, now a big question mark formed in his mind.

This wasn’t Earth, but the distant Wandering Dragon Star.

How did Dawn end up here?!

So he quickly asked, "Weren’t you on Earth? How did you come to this isolated island in the Land of the Extreme West on the Wandering Dragon Star?"

Dawn hurriedly wiped away the tears from her face, released Yang Yan, and then said, "I have to thank my master for that! He happened to come to Earth and found me practicing in the Hidden World."

"At that time, I was seriously injured and thought I was doomed. It was him who saved me. Then he took me as his disciple and brought me here to live."

"Master?" Yang Yan frowned upon hearing Dawn’s words.

The Cultivation World was perilous and unpredictable, and Dawn’s identity was special, especially concerning her mother’s bloodline, which remained a mystery to this day.

Since the other party took a liking to Dawn’s talent, he feared there might be some trickery involved.

"Yes! He was so good to me. He let me eat Spirit Pills every day and taught me all sorts of skills." Dawn looked grateful when speaking of her master.

Yet Yang Yan’s doubts weren’t dispelled by Dawn’s words.

After all, she was his good brother’s only daughter, and he still felt deeply guilty for having accidentally lost her initially.

Now, having finally encountered her again, he surely needed to get to the bottom of things.

He continued asking, "Did your master ever mention why he brought you here?"

Dawn’s innocent face broke into a hint of confusion; after thinking for a bit, she gently shook her head: "I don’t know. I just remember him mentioning something about the Ancient Qilin Bloodline."

Suppressing the questions in his heart, Yang Yan smiled at Dawn and said, "Alright, now you lead godfather to meet your master! Godfather wants to properly thank him."

"Mm-mm!" Dawn replied joyfully, "Godfather, you must follow closely. Here, there’s an Innate Eight Extremes Array set by my master, derived from Wenwang’s Eight Trigrams, with one set of Eight Trigrams above and another below; ordinary people can’t get out of it."

Yang Yan suddenly realized.

It turned out to be two sets of opposing Eight Trigrams Arrays, with positives within negatives and negatives within positives, akin to his own Mirror Image Law yet with its distinct style.

However, the Mirror Image Law applies to the cultivator themselves, but this positive and negative Eight Trigrams is applied within an array, a stroke of genius indeed.

Closely following Dawn, he also silently observed.

This was a treasure; if he could glean some insights, it would be infinitely beneficial.

Yang Yan himself had spent considerable time studying various arrays, and while the array before him was rather common, slight modifications unleashed such formidable power, definitely worthy of learning with humility.

Following in Dawn’s footsteps, passing through the Zhen Position, Kan Position, and Li Position, Dawn suddenly bumped into a giant tree.

Just as Yang Yan was about to remind her, the next moment he sensed something and forcibly swallowed back the words he was about to say.
