Chapter 227: Chapter 226: Secret History of Cyan Profound, the Reversed Moon War

Cyan Profound Sect.

Jade Dew Island.

On Xuankong Peak, clouds swirled and immortal cranes danced in the air.

A stone tablet embedded in the mountainside was engraved with two words: "Celestial River."

Celestial River Peak.

The personal domain of Tianhe!

However, at this moment, the Crystallization Stage master was feeling rather frustrated in his own domain.

Inside a secret hall, sealed off from the outside world by an Array.

Tianhe sat in the main seat, his expression gloomy.

He looked at He Muyun, who stood before him with a grave and serious expression, and sighed.

"Alright, alright, my dear daughter..."

"We’re in the secret hall, the Array is active. This place is completely secure and confidential."

"Whatever it is, just say it..."

"No! This is too important. Dad, you have to make a Heart Demon Oath to guarantee you won’t leak this."

He Muyun said earnestly, her eyes shining.

"Huh?" Tianhe was stunned.

He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

He felt both pleased and frustrated.

Pleased...

...because his precious daughter, who had been out of contact with only her Soul Lamp to indicate she was alive, had finally returned to the sect!

It was as if a great weight had been lifted from his heart!

During this period, Tianhe had been worried sick about his daughter.

He would go check on her Soul Lamp many times each day.

He was terrified that at any moment, the lamp’s light would suddenly go out...

...just like what happened to Shenling!

The Soul Lamp of that long-famous Crystallization Stage master had been completely extinguished in the sect.

—His death was confirmed!

The disciples of Divine Bell Peak were already holding the funeral feast.

And one had to remember...

Shenling had only been probing the outskirts of Weiyuan Immortal City.

But He Muyun had gone deep into Weiyuan Immortal City, right into the heart of the chaos.

The danger involved was unimaginable!

So, seeing He Muyun return alive and in one piece, Father Tianhe was genuinely overjoyed...

...but he was also a little frustrated.

Because after his precious daughter returned, she was acting as if she had some top-secret information.

She made him take all sorts of precautions, open the secret hall, and even... demand he make a Heart Demon Oath to guarantee secrecy?!

"Hey... In your eyes, is your dad’s mouth that loose?"

Tianhe was very annoyed, his face falling.

"Dad... I can’t help it. I have my reasons." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Please try to understand, okay~?"

He Muyun pressed her palms together, her expression sincere, and put on a cute voice to coaxingly apologize to Tianhe.

"Sigh... Fine, fine."

Tianhe sighed.

He couldn’t stay angry at his daughter.

He couldn’t help it.

In his youth, he had focused solely on cultivation and hadn’t cared about having children.

After he reached the Crystallization Stage, it was too late.

Even though he took many wives and concubines and sowed his seeds far and wide...

...in the end, he only managed to have one child: He Muyun!

After all, the life essence of high-level cultivators has been sublimated. Any offspring they produce are guaranteed to have a Spiritual Root, most likely of high grade or better.

But in turn, the difficulty of producing offspring increases dramatically!

Therefore, Tianhe cherished and doted on his only child.

At He Muyun’s request, Tianhe had no choice but to make the Heart Demon Oath.

"I swear that I will not reveal the following conversation to any third party..."

"There. Happy now?"

After making the oath, Tianhe immediately asked.

"What in the world is so important that it requires this level of secrecy?"

"Could it be... an opportunity for a Golden Core?"

Tianhe was puzzled. He looked at He Muyun, his curiosity completely piqued by her series of actions.

"Not exactly... but I feel like it’s pretty close?"

He Muyun said, tilting her head.

Then, she laid out everything she had experienced in Weiyuan Immortal City.

"That little bastard dared to coerce you with a ’Soul-Stealing Demon Charm’?"

"He didn’t... do anything to you, did he?!"

Tianhe was frantic!

’Damn it, my precious little cabbage!’

"No!"

"Mr. Su isn’t that kind of person!"

"He was very good to me."

He Muyun’s face flushed red. She stomped her foot and quickly defended him!

"That’s not the point. Keep listening..." she said, biting her lip.

And as she continued her story, Tianhe’s expression grew progressively more solemn, then shocked, and finally, stunned!

After a long while, he finally asked.

"You saw with your own eyes that he achieved Circulation Magical Power?"

"Yes."

"And he upgraded a Tier 2 spirit ship into a quasi-Tier 4 spirit warship, even creating a ship spirit?"

"Yes."

"A Divinity Transformation Reincarnation?"

"Yes... well, that’s hard to say for sure."

He Muyun was about to nod again, but she suddenly paused.

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "But based on Mr. Su’s performance, I’d say it’s more than likely..."

Tianhe took a deep breath.

He stood up and began to pace back and forth inside the secret hall.

He finally stopped after a long moment.

A look of realization dawned on his face. "So that’s how it is... No wonder he was able to display such terrifying combat power..."

"Especially that bolt of lightning..."

Tianhe flinched slightly, a flicker of fear flashing in his eyes before vanishing.

"Hooo..." He composed himself.

Tianhe said, "Muyun, you did the right thing... Do your best to maintain a good relationship with this Mr. Su."

"The Crystallization Ceremony... I will go with you. We must show him the goodwill of the Cyan Profound Sect."

"Okay."

He Muyun beamed with joy.

In her time with Su Ye, she had come to deeply understand just how terrifying he could be.

From the bottom of her heart, she absolutely did not want to be his enemy!

Now that the sect was willing to heed her advice and be friendly with Su Ye, she wouldn’t be put in a difficult position, which brought her a great sense of relief.

"With the help of this Mr. Su..."

"...perhaps our sect might one day return to the Central Sea Region..."

Tianhe murmured to himself.

"Huh?"

He Muyun was surprised.

’Return to the Central Sea Region?’

"Didn’t our sect... voluntarily venture into the Outer Sea after the Reversed Moon War?"

Hearing this, Tianhe looked exasperated.

’Silly girl, the way you say that...’

’It’s like saying certain ethnic groups live in the mountains just because they like it...’

Tianhe sighed. "This matter involves a rather disgraceful part of our past, which is why the sect’s historical records have concealed it."

The Reversed Moon War, also known as the Great Righteous-Demon War.

In that war, the Righteous Sects, led by the Jade Void Sword Sect...

...achieved victory against a stronger foe, destroying Yaoguang, the old-guard Demon Dao power, the Blood Moon Demon Palace!

This war established the initial power dynamic in the Yaoguang Islands, where ’the Righteous Dao prospers, and the Demon Dao wanes’!

"Back then, our Cyan Profound Sect... was a vassal of the Blood Moon Demon Palace, and we were called the ’Profound Yin Sect’."

"Fortunately, at the time, the second-generation patriarch, Qingxuan, had a sharp eye. Seeing that the situation was turning sour, he turned against them and struck..."

A masterclass in cutting ties at the speed of light!

"That’s how we switched sides and avoided being purged by the Righteous Sects after the war... But as ’remnants’ of the Demon Palace, our position was still awkward, and we were constantly suppressed and ostracized..."

"That’s why... we had to launch a war of expansion... we surrendered our original sect headquarters and domain, destroyed our Tier 4 spirit warship, and went to the Outer Yaoguang region to fend for ourselves..."

Tianhe’s voice was thick with resentment.
