278: Wu family

Wu Muying regained her senses, looked at Wu Zhao, and said with an extremely serious expression, "Wu Zhao, my Lifespan is not much. You must remember our Wu Family's mission and the task you bear! This is something not recorded in the Wu Family's archives."

"Old Ancestor." Wu Zhao looked at Wu Muying. Even though she was the Great Qian Empress, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this moment.

Next, Wu Muying recounted the Wu Family's origins.

The first generation ancestor of the Wu Family was a wisp of true spirit of an Immortal Realm Divine General who underwent Reincarnation, existing to protect the Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation and help him regain his position as Heavenly Emperor.

There were three Divine Generals who underwent Reincarnation.

They established three Families: the Wu Family, the Shen Family, and the Chu Family.

As for why the Heavenly Emperor entered Reincarnation, it was entirely because a traitor appeared in the Immortal Realm. When the Heavenly Emperor went to the Edge of Heaven to prepare for a Breakthrough to a higher level, the traitor leaked the information to the Demon Realm.

The Devil Emperor led the Demon Race army and ambushed the Heavenly Emperor and the three Divine Generals at the Edge of Heaven.

A tragic battle ensued between the two sides. Both the Devil Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor perished, and their true spirits entered Reincarnation.

The three Divine Generals also suffered severe injuries. On the verge of death, they led two entangled true spirits into the Void Realm and sealed the Void Realm at the cost of their lives. However, there were still a large number of Demon Race members who had not died within the Void Realm.

Nevertheless, they also found it difficult to enter the Xuanling Continent, because it was formed from the Heavenly Emperor's Natal Weapon, Xuanling. But if the Demon Race used Reincarnation techniques, Xuanling would be unable to distinguish them, because Xuanling also suffered severe damage during the great battle between the Heavenly Emperor and the Devil Emperor.

After listening to the Wu Family's origins without missing a single word, Wu Zhao was momentarily in a daze.

"Is it worth it for our Wu Family to pay so much for the Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation?"

"It's worth it! Everything is worth it." Wu Muying's eyes were exceptionally bright: "Wu Zhao, listen carefully. The Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation must not fail. Even at the cost of our lives, we must send the Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation out of the Void Realm. Otherwise, we will be trapped in this cage forever, until annihilation..."

Wu Muying stopped speaking.

She let Wu Zhao digest the information. The amount of information today was truly immense.

Wu Zhao also hadn't expected the Wu Family's origins to be so extraordinary.

After pondering for a long time, Wu Zhao finally looked at Wu Muying: "Old Ancestor, a few days ago, a voice suddenly appeared in my mind. It told me to protect the Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation and promised me an official position in the Immortal Realm, as well as the creation jade lotus that would allow me to ascend to Immortality without going through the Immortal Ascension Path."

As she spoke, she took out a jade lotus from her storage ring and handed it to Wu Muying.

Wu Muying took it, and with a quick glance, she knew the origin of the item.

"This item is one of the Demon Race's methods for Reincarnation into the Xuanling Continent. Once you refine it into your body, the Demonic Soul within it will possess you."

Wu Zhao cursed angrily upon hearing this: "Do these Demon Race members have no shame? They actually dared to harm me."

Thinking of that creation jade lotus, she felt a chill in her heart. If she hadn't wanted to give this creation jade lotus to the Old Ancestor and instead tried to break through to the Immortal Ascension Path herself...

At this moment, she would no longer be herself.

"Old Ancestor, since the Demon Race is blocked by Xuanling and cannot enter the Xuanling Continent, how did they send this Demonic Lotus in, and how did it reach me?"

Wu Zhao asked the doubt in her heart.

The grand voice that resonated in her mind didn't seem like a Demon Race method at all. It didn't make her feel any discomfort or aversion; instead, it felt somewhat close.

It was just that this Demonic Lotus was a real trap.

Wu Muying casually crushed the Demonic Lotus in her palm into powder, then uttered two words: "Xuanling!"

"Xuanling?!" Wu Zhao became even more confused, "Old Ancestor, didn't you say Xuanling is the Heavenly Emperor's Natal Weapon? Then, why would he help the Demon Race?!"

Wu Muying sighed.

"I said before that Xuanling suffered severe damage in the great battle between the Heavenly Emperor and the Devil Emperor, almost shattering. Its artifact spirit is even in slumber, with only the instinct to protect the Heavenly Emperor remaining."

"And the Demon Race deceived Xuanling with special means, sealing the Demonic Lotus, adorning it with Immortal Spiritual Qi, falsely claiming it to be the creation jade lotus. Coupled with their words all being for the Heavenly Emperor's good, Xuanling was willing to help them transmit items and information."

"This is also a common method used by the Demon Race: through Xuanling's hand, they use this method to bewitch the living beings on the Xuanling Continent, using Demonic Lotuses to possess their bodies, becoming demons, and then seeking out the Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation. During that period, the entire world was demonic, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a second Demon Realm."

"The Heavenly Emperor undergoes Reincarnation once every fifty thousand years. For 4.5 million years, the Xuanling Continent was in such a state of rampant Demon Race activity. Fortunately, in the Heavenly Emperor's first ninety lives, he always killed the Devil Emperor's Reincarnation before the Demon Race found him. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

The Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation is too difficult!

He fought a losing battle for 4.5 million years!

Wait!

A question arose in Wu Zhao's mind again.

Now, there are no Demon Race members visible on the Xuanling Continent. It doesn't look like the second Demon Realm the Old Ancestor described.

Seemingly sensing the doubt in Wu Zhao's mind, Wu Muying took a deep breath and sighed: "In the Heavenly Emperor's ninety-first life, the true spirits of the three Divine Generals finally revived and fought alongside the Heavenly Emperor in all directions. That time, they slaughtered most of the Demon Race on the Xuanling Continent."

The three Divine Generals also suffered severe injuries, and their true spirits re-entered Reincarnation. Finally, the Devil Emperor's Reincarnation and the Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation fought again at the end of the Void Realm, and then perished together.

Although they did not successfully leave the Void Realm, in the Heavenly Emperor's ninety-second life, he finally didn't have to suffer so much anymore."

"This..." After hearing these words, Wu Zhao felt despair. The Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation was too bitter!

The Devil Emperor's Reincarnation was also a complete failure. In the first ninety lives, he had a perfect start, but was still beaten into this current situation by the Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation.

At this moment, Wu Zhao was incredibly curious about this Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation. She truly hoped that one day she could witness the peerless demeanor of this Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation.

Just as Wu Zhao was imagining what the Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation would look like, Wu Muying gave another warning.

"If you encounter the Chu Family or the Shen Family in the future, it's best to be careful, because one of those Families has definitely defected to the Demon Race."

"Defected to the Demon Race?" Wu Zhao found it somewhat unbelievable. A Divine General's Family, who fought alongside the Heavenly Emperor, actually defected to the Demon Race.

"Old Ancestor, do you know which Family it is?"

Wu Zhao pressed.

Wu Muying shook her head: "I don't know, but I was ambushed by one of the Chu and Shen Families, and then the Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation sealed my vitality with a secret technique. Therefore, you must be careful of those two Families."

"Wu Zhao understands!"

........

Deep in the East Sea, Hidden Dragon Grotto-Heaven.

Chu Mo's main body was Cultivating when suddenly the entire Hidden Dragon Grotto-Heaven shook, and seawater poured in.

"Damn it! Which bastard dares to trespass on my territory and even pierce through my Hidden Dragon Grotto-Heaven!"

Numerous Clones went to the damaged area to repair the Grotto-Heaven, and some Clones left the Grotto-Heaven to search for the troublemaker deep in the East Sea.

"Sigh! I wonder which son-of-a-bitch came to this desolate place deep in the East Sea! I thought there was nothing here but seawater and Yao Beasts. What are you doing in the East Sea if you have nothing better to do?!"

Chu Mo grumbled.

Since he had been found, he couldn't stay here. He could only go to another hidden place to open up a Grotto-Heaven and lay low.

As soon as he left the Grotto-Heaven, he saw a figure in the deep sea, and Chu Mo's anger instantly flared up.

This person was the one who pierced through his Grotto-Heaven.

Because the stealth Formation was manually dispelled, and in the deep East Sea, besides himself, there was only this guy in front of him.

With a wave of his hand, Chu Mo drilled into the bronze coffin and sank deeper.

Afterward, a large number of Clones rushed towards this area.
