This woman harbored too many secrets. It makes sense why Qianbei Ye was attracted to her...

Zixie curled his lips. "Since you're interested to know more, there's no need for me to hold anything back. Previously, you had said that Qianbei Ye was once a famous cultivator in the Full Circle State. In actuality, she was also one as well."

Cang Ming stared at the handsome and demonic man in shock. He could not believe what he had just heard.

Gu Ruoyun was once a cultivator at the Full Circle State as well?

Impossible!

She was clearly very weak when I had first seen her. How could she possibly have once been a Full Circle State cultivator?

Zixie noticed the shock on Cang Ming's face and laughed icily. "Cang Ming, why do you think that I, as the Ancient Divine Beast, would want to pursue her?"

"Why?"

There used to be a saying on the mainland that anyone who subdues Zixie would gain the world.

However, that meant more than ruling the world. Instead, Zixie was said to hold the secret for a cultivator to break through to the Full Circle State. Hence, many people on the mainland wanted to obtain Zixie for themselves.

Nevertheless, the person Zixie had chosen at the time was a weak little girl! Even though that girl would grow to become extremely powerful later on, she had not been fit to be the master of Zixie as the Ancient Divine Beast.

Could it be that there was something about her that no one else was aware of?

Zixie looked at Cang Ming and slowly said, "She and I have been acquainted for a much longer period of time! I should say that the first person I had laid eyes on when I first came into this world is her!"

Boom!

Zixie's words were like a stroke of lightning and caused the look of shock on Cang Ming's cold face to deepen.

What does he mean by that?

What was his meaning when he said that the first person he had laid eyes on when he first came into this world was Gu Ruoyun?

Zixie had existed since ancient times. Could it be that Gu Ruoyun was born during ancient times?

"You're right, she was indeed born during ancient times! However, there were far too few humans during ancient times so she had lived a very lonely life. That was how she had me! The Ancient Divine Pagoda had chosen her as its Master. Since I was the Ancient Divine Pagoda's companion beast and the Ancient Divine Pagoda was in her possession, I was fostered by her as well."

Things like destiny have never existed in this world.

The Ancient Divine Pagoda had chosen Gu Ruoyun, not because of her natural charm nor because of her good luck.

Instead, it was because she had been the Master of the Ancient Divine Pagoda all this while!

Cang Ming was stunned by this revelation. He had thought that he and Qianbei Ye were the only cultivators who have reached the Full Circle State but he never expected Gu Ruoyun to have reached that state as well...

Furthermore, she had originated from ancient times, that faraway era.

"This little guy was also her helper." Zixie pointed at Mengmeng who was curled up in Gu Ruoyun's embrace and smiled demonically. "Mengmeng isn't a spiritual beast but was instead constructed from spiritual energy! Of course, it isn't easy to create a spiritual beast by solidifying the spiritual energy from the heavens and earth, especially one with flesh, blood, and soul. She was the only one in this world who could accomplish this. Unfortunately, Mengmeng isn't like me and has forgotten all about its past. I'm the only one who remembers her existence."

Cang Ming stared coldly at Zixie and asked again, "Qianbei Ye had given up his power because of her. How had she ended up losing all her power to be reincarnated as well?"

Zixie stared at Cang Ming indifferently. "The number of humans during the ancient times was so few that she had not been able to experience very much then. She would not have been as calm and indifferent as she is now. The people who had existed during ancient times only treated her as a deity and made offerings to her. She, at the peak of her boredom, had raised me before creating Mengmeng. Ultimately, she still felt extremely bored and simply went into reincarnation to be reborn anew."
