I Have Countless Past-life Identities-Chapter 190 - 100: Song Brahman Mirror and Ruan Xiuxiu Witness the Celestial Abyss Tremble, Halting the War; Initiate ’Song Chai Xin’s’ Final Reincarnation!
Black Mountain City, Yunluan Daoist Temple.
Pei Lvye held her pristine, immaculate face in her hands, clutching a Communication Jade Token, pursing her lips as her brow remained furrowed and unrelaxed.
Sitting across from her was Ning Xiu, the true disciple of Elder Cui Chan from the 'Demon-locking Forest', one of the three main branches of Yunluan Mountain.
At this moment, similar to Pei Lvye.
Ning Xiu, who had reached the Second Step Peak of the Carefree Realm, was sent by his master Cui Chan to undergo training. He, too, frowned deeply, his face gloomy and somber.
"The sect has communicated, instructing the two of us to remain in Black Mountain and not return. Just wait for further news."
"If things go awry and the situation is beyond control..."
"Immediately gather the promising 'seeds' from the Daoist Temple and migrate to another state to avoid disaster."
"Junior sister, with the sect in crisis, do you think we should...?"
The Spirit Talismans were originally made from Spiritual Ore produced in the 'Grotto Heaven', using Spiritual Sources and Spirit Crystals, akin to 'Thousand-mile Eye and Wind-following Ear'.
Not only could they send messages, but they could also glimpse into the situation miles away.
However, the spirit talismans used by the major sects nowadays are made from 'secondary spiritual ore', diluted and moved from these Spiritual Sources and Spirit Crystals in the past.
As a result, they can only serve 'thousand-mile communication' and not 'thousand-mile vision'.
Song Brahman Mirror knocked on Yunluan Mountain.
A single person suppressed hundreds of disciples of the Yunluan Dao Lineage. Only through the combined effort of two generations of Sword Masters and the setup of the 'Yunluan Demon Suppression and Evil Extermination Array' could they barely contend, locked in a stalemate for days on end.
Meanwhile, the two chief true disciples at the Yunluan Daoist Temple, who received the communication, were already deep in gloom, their hearts sinking to the bottom.
Just as the two frowned in silent thought.
The Celestial Abyss outside Black Mountain suddenly trembled.
An illusory bronze hall shadow appeared, floating from the endless abyss, suddenly illuminating.
At the same time, the entire Black Mountain was shrouded in a thin 'mist', obscuring clear vision.
"What is that!" Ning Xiu looked out the window, astonished.
At the same time, he heard the faint stirrings within the Yunluan Daoist Temple.
"The Celestial Abyss is shaking..." Pei Lvye mused.
Before she descended the mountain.
Her master Ruan Xiuxiu had told her.
If there was any disturbance at the bottom of this Celestial Abyss...
No matter the circumstances.
It must be reported to her.
Otherwise, even though Pei Lvye was her personal disciple, the only one to inherit the True Master's teachings after breaking through the fourth step.
She would still be expelled from the sect!
But now, Yunluan Mountain...
Is in the midst of an earth-shattering battle with the former 'Traitorous Demon Monarch'.
If the communication caused the master to be distracted, wouldn't that be an unforgivable sin?
Both hesitated endlessly for a moment.
Pondering whether to send the message to inform?
...
Black Mountain Outer City, in a cultured room of a teahouse near the Inner City.
Recently, continuous appearances of demon traces have resulted in endless rumors, causing the residents of the Outer City to be in low spirits, even affecting business considerably.
However, for the young girl in an apricot dress with fox-like eyes, indulging herself with good food and drink, it didn't affect her at all.
"Where shall we play tomorrow..."
Originally, Yousu Yue, who was given the task by 'Aunt Song' – who raised her like a birth mother – to investigate whether there were any disturbances in Black Mountain Celestial Abyss.
At this moment, she held her cheek in one hand, munching on a braised chicken leg, while her thoughts wandered beyond the ninth heavens.
Beside her was placed a lacquer fan with a 'Bai Huo'Er' pattern, a 'Red Wedding Paper Cutout' bearing a seven-tenth resemblance to her, and a pair of small red lanterns with wicks...
It had been almost a month.
Yousu Yue initially lived rough, watching the Black Mountain Celestial Abyss for several consecutive days until her eyes were nearly sore, yet she saw no clue.
Following the guide left by Song Brahman Mirror, Yousu Yue, purely and innocently, intended to complete the task assigned by 'Aunt Song', with no ulterior thoughts.
Moreover, having endured the harsh environment on the eternally snow-covered Great Snow Mountain for many years, she was long accustomed to it.
Originally, she didn't feel anything was amiss.
She was mostly curious about the Great Zhao's orderly society, which, though as 'Martial Dao is supreme', seemed far more novel and interesting than the barbaric laws of the 'tribes and demon veins' in the Northwest Wilderness.
Until...
By chance, out of curiosity, she picked up a hunter's bundle, newly devoured by a spirit beast, with only bones left, and found some intriguing items she had never seen or tasted before...
The discovery was irresistible, leading her directly into 'Black Mountain City'.
Yousu Yue was a Half-Demon, capable of human transformation and showing demonic features.
With a cultivation level equivalent to the Second Step Peak of a Martial Artist, she was comparable to a 'flawless version' of Ji Han.
Unless someone with a far superior cultivation, like Tantai Yao at the 'Peak of the Primordial Pill', watched her closely from a short distance.
Otherwise, anyone seeing her would only think she was an inexperienced young lady.
Though Black Mountain City was impoverished and remote, it was still a city of a million households, naturally a significant allure to Yousu Yue, who came from the mountains.
She was a stickler for rules because Song Brahman Mirror always taught her not to be like 'demons', who rely on human energy as the foundation for their cultivation, lest her future foundation becomes mixed and difficult to progress.
So, after a rough understanding of the currency in Great Zhao, she hunted spirit beasts and gathered precious herbs with her cultivation, soon exchanging them for considerable silver coins, and then began to indulge herself vastly.
