126: Does he deserve it?

Taiyi Realm.

This Realm is boundless, with dense Spiritual Qi and an extremely high dimension, infinitely close to the Immortal Domain. It is one of the most outstanding among the thousands of Lower Realms, and countless Heavenly Prodigies have emerged throughout its vast history.

Being named after Taiyi, it naturally cannot be separated from the Taiyi Immortal King.

Rumor has it that this was the former residence of the Taiyi Immortal King and one of her core Dao arenas in the Lower Realm.

Atop the peak of a continuous mountain range.

The cold wind howled.

A tall figure stood with hands behind her back before the cliff, gazing out over the endless territory. Her clothes fluttered in the wind, outlining her curvaceous and proud body.

Her fiery wine-red hair was loosely draped over her shoulders, falling down to her pert buttocks.

Her legs were fair and long, pressed tightly together.

She appeared holy and dignified.

Not far behind her stood an Old Woman in green robes.

The woman held a fly-whisk, her eyebrows white and long. Just by standing there, the terrifying power she radiated made the Heavenly Dao tremble.

This person was none other than the Taiyi Immortal King, who stood at the peak of the vast Immortal Domain, looking down upon all living beings.

Yet, even such a supreme figure unconsciously showed a hint of humility and a desire to please when facing that elegant young girl.

“Qianqian, there is news of the person you are looking for. He has been reincarnated in the Mountain Sea Realm and is the only son of Su Jing, the strongest of the Mountain Sea Human Race.” The Taiyi Immortal King's eyes flickered, her tone somewhat strange.

Speaking of this person, she actually had some history with him.

Back then, he was almost taken in by her as a Named Disciple.

The air remained silent for a long time.

“Heh!”

The young girl let out a cold laugh.

It contained far too many inexplicable emotions.

“Since he's been found, bring him here!”

The young girl slowly turned around.

Before her extraordinarily beautiful face, the sun, moon, and stars paled in comparison.

Her skin was as white as snow, and her features were exquisite beyond compare, carrying a hazy sense of mystery. Her cherry-red mouth had thin, tightly pursed lips, revealing even, pearly teeth as she smiled slightly.

Between her eyebrows was a magnificent deep purple mark, radiating a majestic and powerful aura.

But the most captivating feature was her eyes.

Her charming Phoenix eyes were narrow and long, looking as if shattered stars were scattered within them, possessing a coldness and madness that came from her very bones. Yet, the faint redness at her temples naturally exuded a sense of enchantment.

This girl was named Su Qianqian.

She was born twenty years ago in an obscure and weak world, but she displayed extraordinary talent.

In just ten short years, she grew from an infant to the world's strongest powerhouse.

Later, she was noticed by the Taiyi Immortal King, taken in as a personal disciple, and brought to the Taiyi Realm.

“Qianqian, there was an accident over there. The person you are looking for died three years ago!” The Taiyi Immortal King weighed her words carefully.

The way the two interacted was extremely bizarre.

With Su Qianqian being only at the Mahayana Realm, she should have been like an ant before the Taiyi Immortal King, yet the Taiyi Immortal King's words always revealed a hint of inexplicable reverence.

Su Qianqian was the same, as if she didn't care about an Immortal King at all.

Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she sneered, “Is this the news you've brought?”

“Qianqian, it's like this. That person died three years ago, and I wanted to step in to bring his soul over, but I discovered that his soul was not within the Three Realms and had transcended Reincarnation.” The Taiyi Immortal King explained hurriedly.

“Transcended Reincarnation?” Su Qianqian said in astonishment.

Reincarnation is the Foundation of how all things in the world operate. Even someone as strong as an Immortal King cannot escape the fate of Reincarnation, let alone an ordinary Cultivator of the Lower Realm.

“Indeed. I even personally visited the Underworld, but I couldn't find any information about him there.”

The Taiyi Immortal King added, “However, just today, I captured his soul again. It's still within the Mountain Sea Realm. Perhaps during these three years, his soul wandered into some Secret Realm.”

“He's appeared again!”

Su Qianqian suddenly looked up, a flash of joy appearing in her beautiful eyes. She said urgently, “Then what are you waiting for? Quickly bring his soul over!”

“I have already brought him over. I used a Primordial Azure Heaven Lotus Root to reconstruct his Physical Body, and he is now settled in the back mountain...”

“Great!”

Su Qianqian clenched her right fist and slammed it into her left palm.

The force was so great that cracks appeared in space.

“You've done well. Now, take This Princess to see him!”

Having received the girl's praise, the Taiyi Immortal King showed a joyful smile. “Qianqian, please follow me!”

Hearing this, the smile on Su Qianqian's pretty face gradually faded. Her beautiful eyes coldly swept over the Taiyi Immortal King's face as she said flatly, “This Princess was willing to take you as my Revered Master only because we each get what we need. Otherwise, with your abilities, you are far from worthy of being This Princess's Revered Master!”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

The Taiyi Immortal King nodded repeatedly, showing none of the airs of an Immortal King.

She knew the girl was telling the truth.

Given the girl's background, if she truly grew up, let alone an Immortal King, it was feared that no one in the world would be qualified to be her Revered Master.

Being able to establish a Revered Master-disciple bond while she was still weak was a blessing earned through a hundred lifetimes of Reincarnation.

“From now on, call me Su Wushuang. Wushuang, as in peerless under heaven!”

Su Qianqian left behind those words indifferently, her figure already vanishing from the spot.

“Wushuang!”

The Taiyi Immortal King's Divine Soul shuddered as if she had thought of something terrifying. Her body trembled slightly.

She wanted to step forward and follow, but she couldn't move her feet no matter what. She remained frozen in place, silently watching the girl depart.

“In just sixteen short years, has she... completely awakened her memories of her past life?”

“Well, that's fine too!”

“But once the news that The Peerless Maiden of the Su Family is living another life reaches the Immortal Domain, I'm afraid it will trigger a great catastrophe!”

“Alas, beneath a prosperous age, a great disaster is hidden!”

“I hope everything... will be well!”

...Deep within the back mountain.

A large amount of Heaven And Earth Treasures were planted there. Rare birds and Spirit Beasts walked leisurely, and the Spiritual Qi was so dense it liquefied into rain, as if one had entered a blessed immortal land.

Within this otherworldly garden, a stone hut had been built.

The stone hut was engraved with a profound Formation that continuously absorbed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from the surroundings.

Su Qianqian stopped at the entrance of the stone hut.

She was in no hurry to rush in. Instead, she stared fixedly at the stone door, the expression on her pretty face shifting—pleasure, joy, nostalgia, resentment, and hatred... all sorts of emotions intertwined.

She stood silently outside the door until the sky grew dark and the stars became sparse.

Unknowingly, three hours had passed.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps from behind startled her out of her myriad thoughts.

“Wushuang, aren't you going in to see? This humble Daoist has seen you standing out here all day!” The Taiyi Immortal King's figure appeared.

“Humph!”

Su Qianqian forcibly cut off her train of thought, and her beautiful eyes became sharp.

She didn't push the door. Instead, she suddenly kicked out, shattering the Formation of the carefully built stone hut into pieces.

“This...”

The Taiyi Immortal King was dumbfounded.

“Taiyi, you've done very well over the years, but I am very dissatisfied with today's matter!”

The young girl was furious.

The clouds and winds between heaven and earth changed color.

The Taiyi Immortal King couldn't help but take a step back. Suddenly, she seemed to realize something.

Over the years, the young girl had been extremely concerned about this man named Su Quan.

She had instinctively thought the man was someone very close to the girl, but seeing today's reaction, she seemed to have misunderstood.

Sure enough, the young girl's cold and domineering voice rang out.

“A Physical Body reconstructed from a Primordial Azure Heaven Lotus Root... is he... worthy?”
