Black Mountain City.

Inside the Spirit Hall of the Xie Family.

Xie Bridge looked at Jixia in front of him.

As if looking at someone from the past, from bygone years.

At this moment,

No matter how he tried to think, he couldn't not believe.

"Even though I wasn't in Black Mountain back then, I heard you were buried in that 'Bronze Hall', dragging the Demon Hunter General 'Dragon-slaying Marquis' and two Daoist Level Masters with you, all trapped in the Celestial Abyss."

"They say that battle frightened the State Lord Lan Jingyi so much that he fled north in panic, and for decades, he has never mentioned Wutong Prefecture, making your past events a taboo, erased from records and history."

"What exactly happened back then, why did you...?"

Xie Bridge was greatly shocked, stepping forward to stand before the coffin of Xie Qiaoxuan, facing this 'non-family cousin' who seemed to have returned from the 'gaps of history', full of questions to ask.

No wonder!

No wonder why the old man received a letter from Black Mountain.

Even with the world in chaos, demons invading and causing trouble, and the path fraught with dangers, he had no hesitation in traveling a thousand miles to this Black Mountain City!

If,

he knew in advance...

Jixia, was actually Song Chai Xin!

Then, everything makes sense.

And having received the Primordial Pill gifted by Jixia, breaking through the nine apertures and advancing to the second step Great Innate, even nearing perfection of the Vajra Body, Xie Wutong shone with golden brilliance.

She was the only other living person in this Spirit Hall, besides Xie Bridge and Yousu Yue.

Jixia did not evade her presence.

Thus, hearing these essentially 'earth-shattering' secret words, Xie Wutong's eyes widened:

"You really are that uncle from the stories?"

The tone was questioning.

But it was extremely certain.

At the same time, it made Xie Wutong recall the first time she met Jixia.

Good heavens!

She wondered how someone could, in less than half a year, progress from the first step to being able to combat the third step!

Other than a 'reincarnation cultivation' genius, there was really no one else, after all, no matter how high one's aptitude, without being born knowledgeable, it's useless.

Thinking this way,

Xie Wutong recalled seeing Jixia showcasing the 'Fist Mastery' of the Meteor Chasing Moon Fist Scripture, thus she gave him the Martial Gate Foundation Establishment cultivation technique, thinking she had 'advised' him. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

But now...

What a show of woodcutting before the master!

For a moment, Xie Wutong just wanted to cover her face.

To the Xie family's two people's queries, Jixia did not respond, only pondered:

"Indeed, my physical body is buried in Black Mountain, beyond doubt."

Rumble!

The heavy rain in the sky had not yet stopped.

The distant mountains seemed to be covered by a layer of 'blood mist'.

Gazing through the Spirit Hall's paper window, Jixia's brows furrowed deeply:

"But that place is truly too weird."

"Back then, the third-step Primordial Pill, even the Fourth Step True Man sealed inside, by reason, decades later, even if immortals came, they would have perished there."

"But... if there are no accidents, they should all still be 'alive'."

Alive?

Song Bridge was shocked:

"Like you?"

"Hiss!"

"Then if the Demon Hunter General 'Dragon-slaying Marquis', Master of Xuanbing Cave Qin Wubai, Gu Family Ancestor are all still there, plus so many Primordial Pill Masters..."

"Sweeping across the entire Wutong Prefecture, to directly crush the abomination Xuanqing Demon Monarch Gua Hua, wouldn't it be easy?"

"But..."

This Patriarch of the Xie Family hesitated:

"Might they still continue to pursue you?"

Jixia shook his head, recalling being buried in the 'Nirvana Profound Coffin', the body of Song Chai Xin, mind suddenly overshadowed.

If those 'Nirvana Corpses' from back then all woke up...

Then would 'Song Chai Xin' also 'rise from the dead'?

If following his guess of the 'Immortal Nirvana True Monarch's' last words, such a scene... might truly occur.

And what exactly would these 'risen from the dead' people be like?

The Immortal Nirvana True Monarch said they were unchanged from when alive.

But,

if indeed the corpses revived, becoming so-called Nirvana Corpses, could they truly be unchanged from before?

Jixia was deep in thought.

And at this moment.

"Pursue? A joke!"

Beside him, Yousu Yue from the Great Snow Mountain hummed:

"Aunt Song is the Master of the Great Snow Mountain, a figure who inherits the 'Demon Immortal' bloodline, currently blocking the entrance of Yunluan Mountain."

"She sent me to Black Mountain to surveil the Celestial Abyss."

"Just recently, the Celestial Abyss trembled a bit, making the Bronze Hall even more solid, I already sent her a message via Jade Talisman, she's probably on her way now."

"I heard..."

Observing the slight change in Jixia's expression, Yousu Yue clapped her hands, somewhat pleased:

"She's doing all this for someone named 'Song Chai Xin'."

"Though, I'm not quite sure about the matters between you."

"But the shadow formed by your fist intent indeed perfectly matches the portrait Aunt Song has!"

"Hurry and come with me, let me take you to see Aunt Song!"

Great Snow Mountain, Aunt Song?

Surname Song...

Xie Bridge recalled someone, and his heart was filled with horror.

This young girl, seeming unremarkable, had such a great background?

Upon hearing Yousu Yue mention Song Brahma Mirror,

Jixia's heart became a complex mix of emotions:

"After all these years, it's hard for her to still be concerned."

Thinking of the past events at Yunluan Mountain, and Song Brahma Mirror being wronged.

In Jixia's mind, the image of 'Cui Chan' surfaced.
