94: Chapter 94: The Origin of the Emperor's Bone, Someone Else is the Origin

Jiang Yuntian's face flashed with a trace of pain, as if recalling something unpleasant, and it took him a long time to regain his composure.

He looked at Jiang Xuan with a relieved expression, "Xuaner, you truly are your mother's son. You've also awakened an Emperor Bone, and your talent is as terrifying as hers."

Jiang Xuan was startled and asked in surprise, "My mother? Are you saying my Emperor Bone is inherited from her talent?"

"Precisely," Jiang Yuntian nodded.

Jiang Xuan's expression was moved. Regarding his mother in this world, Jiang Xuan had no impression in the original host's memory, nor had he ever heard Jiang Yuntian mention her.

Originally, Jiang Xuan guessed that his mother had met with some accident, and Jiang Yuntian had deliberately hidden it to prevent Jiang Xuan from being sad. Now it seemed that it wasn't what he thought at all; his mysterious mother seemed to have a significant background.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan asked, "Then my mother, she...?"

Jiang Yuntian's expression turned grim. "At first, I also thought she was an ordinary Cultivator, until the year you were born, when a group of mysterious people descended upon the Jiang Family."

"Although I don't know the strength of those few people, I could feel that if they wished, the entire Great Li Dynasty would be razed to the ground in an instant."

Jiang Yuntian's expression was horrified, recalling the terrifying Divine Might of those people. Afterward, his expression became extremely pained.

"As soon as they arrived, they discovered your existence and, in a fit of rage, wanted to kill you and me on the spot, saying that my Jiang Family was a lowly ant Family that had defiled your mother's Bloodline!"

At this point, Jiang Yuntian's face flushed red, and his chest heaved violently. A chill also rose in Jiang Xuan's heart.

After a long while, Jiang Yuntian continued, "Later, your mother seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with them, which seemed to be related to the bone in her body. Only then was the entire Jiang Family preserved."

"After that, she was taken away by those mysterious people, and it has been sixteen years to this day."

"Before leaving, she told me that she came from the distant and mysterious Divine Province, and her Family was an even more powerful Emperor Clan, the Li Tian Emperor Clan! It was an existence at the pinnacle of the entire Zhou Tian Continent's hierarchy."

"She told me never to reveal anything about the bone in your chest, otherwise great disaster would befall us. I listened to her and told everyone it was a Spirit Bone."

"I never expected that you would awaken an Emperor Bone just like your mother, and from its aura, I observe it to be even more powerful than the one in your mother's body. She must have known at that time and deliberately concealed it with a secret technique, so it wasn't discovered by those from the Emperor Clan."

After saying all this, Jiang Yuntian let out a long breath. This was a secret he had kept in his heart for over ten years, and now that it was spoken, he felt much more relaxed.

He patted Jiang Xuan's shoulder. "Xuaner, I originally didn't intend to tell you these things, but with your current strength, I suppose even if I didn't say anything, you would investigate yourself. You would know eventually."

"Now, you can protect yourself well, and your father has no more burdens."

After speaking, Jiang Yuntian looked at Jiang Xuan with a solemn expression, his eyes showing a glimmer of anticipation. "Xuaner, with your personality, I know I can't stop you. Your father only hopes that when you have sufficient strength, you can bring your mother back."

"I don't know what kind of deal she made with her clan, but she must not be having an easy time now."

Jiang Xuan narrowed his eyes, a cold sneer in his heart. "Given the nature of those great Families, it's probably nothing good!"

Jiang Xuan nodded heavily and smiled at Jiang Yuntian, "Father, I can't do this alone. When the time comes, let's go together to bring Mother back!"

Jiang Yuntian's expression trembled, and then a strong fighting spirit emerged within him. In the past, he saw no hope, but now, with Jiang Xuan, he felt that his Family would one day be reunited.

Jiang Xuan looked up at the bright moon in the sky, a sharp glint in his eyes. "Li Tian Emperor Clan, huh? My mother better be alright, otherwise!"

...In the center of the Divine Province, at the location of the Li Tian Emperor Clan, on the lowest floor of the Heavenly Prison where criminals were held, a study was built in the center, appearing particularly out of place.

Inside the study, a beautiful woman dressed in light blue robes was writing and drawing on a desk, a gentle smile on her face. Coupled with her appearance like a Heavenly Immortal from the Nine Heavens, the entire Heavenly Prison lost its gloomy aura.

Outside the study, a Formation enveloped it. Feeling its aura, even a Saint would be unable to break in.

"Aunt, I've come to see you."

Just then, a young figure appeared in the Heavenly Prison. A Dao rhythm permeated his body, his features were handsome, and even at a young age, he was already remarkably valiant.

The beautiful woman looked up, a slight smile appearing. "It's Tianming."

Li Tianming stood outside the Formation, his brows tightly furrowed, seemingly angered by the Formation preventing him from meeting his aunt.

"Aunt, when Tianming is strong enough, I will surely smash this Formation and rescue you!"

The beautiful woman stopped her brush and said with a smile, "Silly child, your aunt came in here voluntarily. Otherwise, a mere Great Saint Formation couldn't trap your aunt."

"Is it because of Uncle and Cousin?"

The beautiful woman's body stiffened, a trace of longing flashing in her eyes. "Yes, only this way are they safe."

Tianming lowered his head, his tone a bit low. "But, Aunt, the Family's centennial ceremony is approaching. At that time, you..."

The beautiful woman gently teased, "Haha, our little Tianming has grown up and is starting to care about his aunt."

"It's fine, isn't it just a bone? I'll give it to them."

"But..." Tianming's small face showed some struggle. These past few days, he had heard many rumors unfavorable to his aunt.

The beautiful woman smiled and softly said, "Tianming, sit down and chat with your aunt."

Tianming nodded and said, "Aunt, tell me about you and Uncle."

"Alright."

...The next day, a Saint's Divine Might enveloped the entire Tianshui City. Lin Wuyuan and Wu Tian appeared above the city gate, and in the distance, Jiang Xuan's figure sped towards them.

"Revered Master, Holy Lord, why have you come?"

Jiang Xuan felt a little joyful. After a month apart, he missed his Revered Master and the others quite a bit.

Wu Tian laughed, "Haha, we arrived yesterday and even saw you display great Divine Might, slaying all the invading enemies from the Eight Great Dynasties."

Jiang Xuan was startled. Yesterday, the Holy Land Elder had told him that strong Cultivators would come to reinforce them, but he didn't expect the Holy Lord and his Revered Master to come personally.

Lin Wuyuan spoke from the side, "Wu Tian secretly left his own imprint on you. On one hand, it's to prevent you from encountering any danger, and on the other hand, it's to know when you'll come out of Prison City."

Jiang Xuan felt a warmth in his heart and bowed to Wu Tian, "Revered Master, I've caused you worry."

Wu Tian laughed, "You are my Disciple, Wu Tian, and even more so, a Holy Land sequence. How could anything happen to you?"

Lin Wuyuan continued from the side, "Jiang Xuan, originally, I, as the Holy Lord, wasn't going to come, but this matter is quite serious. To be safe, I must come personally."

Jiang Xuan's heart stirred. "Is it because of the mastermind behind the six emperors?"

Lin Wuyuan nodded with a rather solemn expression. "This matter might be related to a Saint!"

Jiang Xuan was shocked. A Saint? Who could it be!
