Xuanbing Xianwang chuckled, "Playing tricks in front of me, do you think it’s naive?"

Oh, directly addressing herself as ’this seat’?

Shi Hao’s heart chilled, was she about to turn hostile?

Of course, an Immortal King does as they please, their strength is clear.

"Mother, I really want to know, why did you bring me back?" Shi Hao asked leisurely.

Since he discovered Xuanbing Xianwang’s big secret, it was obvious she wouldn’t let him leave, so he didn’t mind asking some taboo questions.

Xuanbing Xianwang appeared, still that two-star incarnation. She looked at Shi Hao and said, "You are this seat’s son, what’s strange about bringing you back?"

Shi Hao laughed heartily, "Mother cultivates the Myriad Transformation Heavenly Technique, my real mother is just one of your incarnations. With your immense power, would you let an incarnation’s life influences dictate things?"

"If that were the case, shouldn’t I have countless siblings?"

Xuanbing Xianwang looked slightly surprised, "You actually know the Myriad Transformation Heavenly Technique!"

This is an Immortal Venerable technique, which she acquired in the Forbidden Land. The Immortal Venerable had long since entered the path countless years ago, otherwise, they wouldn’t have gone to the Forbidden Land trying their luck, hoping to extend their life, or perhaps live to see an unknown number of future lives.

Therefore, logically speaking, no one in the present world should know about the Myriad Transformation Heavenly Technique.

Yet, such a small Silver Spirit Immortal spoke of it so directly, how could she not be astonished?

"You sure know a lot." She praised, though without sincerity. No matter how knowledgeable you are, you’re still just a small Silver Spirit Immortal; what tricks could you possibly pull off in the hand of an Immortal King?

Shi Hao humbly smiled, "Mother overpraises! But what exactly did you see in me?"

Xuanbing Xianwang’s eyes narrowed slightly, then she shook her head, "You’re too smart, but using it in the wrong place!"

"And you are wrong."

She looked at Shi Hao, "Although this seat has countless incarnations, only one incarnation gave birth to you!"

Myriad Transformation Heavenly Technique, with countless incarnations, is for understanding life, not for bearing and raising offspring.

Moreover, she lost contact with this incarnation early on, at first, she didn’t take it to heart, but when Shi Hao ascended to the Immortal Realm, she had a premonition. Upon investigation, she discovered Shi Hao was the son of that incarnation!

She was shocked beyond measure at the time; incarnations are not supposed to bear children, yet Shi Hao appeared in the Immortal Realm.

Accounting time, she lost contact with the incarnation exactly when she became pregnant!

Therefore, Shi Hao’s existence caused her to lose contact with the incarnation.

This!

A mere mortal, how could he possess such an ability?

Thus, she dispatched Jiang Yixian to bring Shi Hao over to uncover the secret he carried.

For this reason, she tried her utmost to prevent Shi Hao from going to the Great Wilderness Realm. If Shi Hao perished there, how could she uncover this mystery?

However, at that time, she was maintaining the persona of a doting mother, so she merely set a challenge for him, not expecting Shi Hao’s combat power to be defying the heavens, easily defeating even the five-star Silver Spirit Immortal level heirs of Immortal Kings, who managed to go to the Great Wilderness Realm.

Fortunately, Shi Hao returned safely, but this kid was simply a disaster magnet, even attracting a high-grade Immortal King, forcing her to dispatch several incarnations to solve the problem.

— She has cultivated many Immortal King level incarnations; this is her biggest secret, even capable of upending the Immortal Realm, so not even Jiang Yixian, her disciple, knows her true strength.

Alright, going off-topic.

Shi Hao was equally stunned to realize he was such a unique existence, a presence that shouldn’t have appeared.

What hidden secret does he really possess?

He could "Overcome Death" of Yuan Chengmie’s remnant soul, which had always baffled him. After learning his birth mother was an incarnation cultivated by an Immortal King, he reluctantly attributed it to the Immortal King.

However, even if an Immortal King begets offspring, it must be gradually cultivated step by step, how could one possess such a strong soul from the start, capable of counter-killing a Heaven Building Ladder?

— although this Heaven Building Ladder was indeed severely damaged.

So, are all these events related?

"There’s also something on you that piques this seat’s interest," Xuanbing Xianwang continued, "Though this seat does not know what it is, there’s a vague sense of it."

Shi Hao made Yue Ying emit a faint wave, very subtly.

"Yes, exactly that!" Xuanbing Xianwang’s eyes shone brightly, "Now, this seat suspects you might be a reincarnation of some Immortal Venerable!"

The wisp of energy just now was undoubtedly of Immortal Venerable level, although much weaker in comparison, but since Shi Hao is just a Silver Spirit Immortal, he could only emit a faint trace of energy, isn’t that right?

For an Immortal Venerable to have someone pregnant with a previously barren incarnation, that’s certainly possible too.

Everything is matching up.

Shi Hao’s brain spun quickly, then he said, "Mother should aim to reach the Immortal Venerable level, correct? With countless incarnations, many have even reached Immortal King level, the myriad great paths merging into one; mother grasping the last, most powerful Immortal Rule should be possible, possibly even already touching upon some edges, right?"

Xuanbing Xianwang slightly changed her expression, are you really a Silver Spirit Immortal? 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"However, there’s a limited number of Immortal Venerables in the world. For one to rise, another must fade away in silence," Shi Hao continued, "So, before your strength succeeds, you deliberately lay low, allowing just a two-star incarnation to appear openly."

"This isn’t for other Immortal Kings to see, but to let those even higher Immortal Venerables know, that you pose no threat to them."

Hearing this, Xuanbing Xianwang was even more moved, but soon after she laughed heartily.

"Smart, so very smart. This seat would truly hope you are my son!"

Shi Hao gave a slight smile, "Hmm, am I not mother’s son?"

Xuanbing Xianwang ignored his teasing and said, "This seat shall see what secret you truly harbor."

She originally wasn’t in a hurry to make a move and hoped to act when Shi Hao reached Jade Immortal, or even became an Immortal King, because she believed Shi Hao was the reincarnation of an Immortal Venerable. Therefore, if she made a move when he reached Immortal King, his essence would be stronger, and if absorbed, it could cause her cultivation to surge.

It might even directly push her to the Immortal Venerable level, not impossible.

But, that’s not possible now, she had no choice but to reveal her intentions.

"Mother, I advise you to take it easy," Shi Hao said, hum, Yue Ying emitted another wave, this time terrifying, a half-step Supreme Device’s power, surpassing that of Immortal Kings.

Sure enough, Xuanbing Xianwang immediately grew apprehensive and had to stay her hand.

If that power exploded, she might fall, and the crucial matter, it would invite intervention from Immortal Venerables!

"See, I am the reincarnation of an Immortal Venerable, and you are also hiding your strength, having a chance to step into an Immortal Venerable’s role," Shi Hao followed her line of thought, simply "admitting" he was the reincarnation of an Immortal Venerable, while concealing Yue Ying’s existence.

"Therefore, if we clash, it would definitely attract the attention of Immortal Venerables, and we would both be doomed!"
