After the soul search was completed, Yun Sheng dared not delay any longer, and used the Divine Lotus Karma Fire to recondense Hu Jiusheng’s residual soul.

After a day and night, Hu Jiusheng’s soul was finally gathered completely. When the golden soul entered Hu Jiusheng’s body, both Yun Canghai and Yun Sheng couldn’t help but hold their breath.

After so many years, the day the father and daughter had hoped for—a family reunion—had finally arrived.

Lying on the bed, Hu Jiusheng moved her eyelids after a long time.

She opened her eyes, and the coldness in her eyes slowly melted away.

When she saw Yun Sheng and Yun Canghai, the father and daughter looking slightly haggard in front of her, she was momentarily dazed.

"Jiusheng," Yun Canghai couldn’t help but rush forward and tightly embrace Hu Jiusheng when he saw his beloved wife.

"Mother," Yun Sheng gently called out. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Feeling the familiar presence of her husband and the tender call of her daughter, tears welled up in Hu Jiusheng’s eyes.

With a soft murmur, she tightly embraced both father and daughter.

"Oh, oh, so touching. My dear master is finally reunited with the family. What to do, Bo Bo also misses the Mother Goddess," Bo Bo, squatting beside, made a loud sniffing sound.

The family of three reunited for the first time after many years, and they had endless things to say.

It was just past nightfall when Yuan Shahu came to call the three out for dinner.

Yun Bahe was still a little awkward when he saw Hu Jiusheng, but thanks to Yun Sheng’s mediation, Hu Jiusheng called him "Father," and Yun Bahe, going along with it, finally accepted this daughter-in-law.

For the reunion of Yun Sheng’s family of three, Yun Bahe even celebrated, arranging anew to make up for holding a wedding banquet for Yun Canghai and Hu Jiusheng.

Villagers from Taiyuan Mountain and the nearby seaside fishing village also came to offer their congratulations.

On the night of the wedding banquet, Yun Canghai drank till he was drunk, and after Hu Jiusheng and Yun Sheng mother and daughter settled him, they finally had the chance to sit down for a heart-to-heart talk.

"Sheng’er, you have truly endured a lot these years. Mother really is an irresponsible parent, leaving you to do so much for your father and me," Hu Jiusheng learned from others that Yun Sheng had been taking care of herself since a young age.

Her daughter was sensible to the point of heartache.

"Mother, we are family, there’s no need to dwell on these things. As long as you and father are reunited, Sheng’er can rest assured." Yun Sheng paused, thought for a moment, and decided to tell her mother about her upcoming journey to the Eight Desolates Continent, and Ye Beiming’s journey there.

Yun Canghai had always had some opinions about Ye Beiming. If he knew that Ye Beiming had left Yun Sheng once more this time, he would undoubtedly be furious and may not acknowledge Ye Beiming as his son-in-law in the future.

Hu Jiusheng saw her daughter’s worried look and couldn’t help but smile knowingly.

Although Hu Jiusheng is Yun Sheng’s mother, they had been apart so many years, and their interactions happened when her soul was incomplete.

Thus Hu Jiusheng doesn’t know much about Ye Beiming as her son-in-law.

After condensing her soul, in the past few days, she had also heard many things about her daughter Yun Sheng from people around.

Everyone who spoke of Yun Sheng had surprisingly unanimous evaluations of her.

This child, though young, is extraordinarily talented, and her mindset and depth far surpass the ordinary.

If it weren’t for the intuitive bond that blood concedes, convincing Hu Jiusheng that Yun Sheng is her daughter, she would suspect whether she was indeed her daughter.

Only when it comes to matters regarding Ye Beiming, Yun Sheng would exhibit expressions of typical feminine vexation.

This reaction instead eased Hu Jiusheng’s mind, feeling a sense of normalcy in her daughter.

"Sheng’er, you are much smarter than your mother. I believe you can handle your affairs well. But regarding going to the Eight Desolates Continent, are you certain of your decision?" Hu Jiusheng was still somewhat worried when she heard Yun Sheng heading there.

Hu Jiusheng had never been to the Eight Desolates Continent but had heard of the disparity between the Beast Clan there and the Human Clan of Wuji Continent; they are brutal and violent, and the humans there are treated as slaves.

Though daughter Yun Sheng is remarkably powerful, even a formidable Summoner, she is ultimately a girl.

"Before passing away, Hu Sheng made me promise to send her ashes there. Oh, Mother, Sheng’er has a question for you. Do you know if you have any siblings? The Sky Fox Clan woman named Hu Sheng has a face identical to mine; I suspect we may be blood-related," Yun Sheng has always had queries about her connection with Hu Sheng.

How could there be two identical individuals in this world?

Yun Sheng feels Hu Sheng resembles her mother about seven or eight parts.

"I was born from a Blood Cloud in the Dutian Blood Realm, with no memory whatsoever of my parents. However, when I was still a Blood Cloud, I recall that I and another Blood Cloud originated as one, only to later split into two. Blood Clouds in the Blood Realm drift unpredictably; I was blown onto Wuji Continent, but that other Blood Cloud’s whereabouts became unknown," Hu Jiusheng recalled.

The Dutian Blood Realm connects Wuji Continent with the Eight Desolates Continent.

Before the Dutian Blood Seal collapsed, countless new Blood Clouds were born there annually.

Most of these Blood Clouds, as they reached the later stage, developed a certain sensing power; Hu Jiusheng, when still a Blood Cloud Beast Embryo, felt an energy wave similar to hers, accompanying her all along.

But later, the malevolent wind of the Blood Realm separated the two Blood Clouds.

The Blood Cloud where Hu Jiusheng resided was blown near a village where the Human Clan lived, whereas that Blood Cloud likely was blown to the Eight Desolates Continent.

"If Hu Sheng’s appearance matches yours, and her age is similar, perhaps her mother was that Blood Cloud that accompanied me back then. In that sense, there exists a bond. Since you promised her, complete the promise by all means. If there ever arises a chance to encounter Hu Sheng’s mother, it may be worth enquiring. If she is not well-off in the Sky Fox Tribe, you should bring her to Wuji Continent," Hu Jiusheng mused.

After discussing various matters, the mother and daughter parted ways.

Three days later, Yun Sheng and Bo Bo bid farewell to the people at Taiyuan Castle.

Yun Canghai, though reluctant, couldn’t go against his daughter’s insistence and under Hu Jiusheng’s persuasion, sent Yun Sheng off.

Yun Sheng went to Great Zhou first to ascertain peace in the country before preparing with Bo Bo to head to the Eight Desolates Continent.

Before going, Yun Sheng encountered a problem.

Due to the Four-direction Netherworld Jiao unable to assist in escorting, a person and a beast had earlier decided to utilize the Netherworld Ghost Key to journey to the Eight Desolates Continent.
