Chapter 2296: Ji Jinzi
The person who sent the message to Qin Nan was Progenitor Shuangdao of the Heaven Illusionary Ancestor Sect.
"Qin Nan, a moment ago, Empress Feiyue's aura suddenly changed after she obtained an ancient manual. Qingyu, Linghuang, and I were going to ask her what happened, but she suddenly attacked us. She injured us and left!"
Progenitor Qingyu and Progenitor Linghuang both transmitted a message to Qin Nan too.
Their messages were similar to Progenitor Shuangdao's message!
"What happened? Did Cang plan something to let his daughter's will take over the copper mirror's will?"
Qin Nan started panicking.
It was the last thing he wanted to hear!
Did it mean he would have to fight Empress Feiyue in the future?
"Calm down, I should calm down first!"
Qin Nan took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down.
"Hang on, something isn't right! If Cang's daughter has overwhelmed the copper mirror's will, wouldn't she try to kill Progenitor Linghuang and the others instead?"
"If Progenitor Linghuang and the others died, it would greatly weaken our faction!"
"It would be a lot easier for Cang to take me out!"
Several thoughts crossed Qin Nan's mind.
However, it was only one of the doubts Qin Nan had. It did not mean much at all.
"Qin Nan, what happened?"
Progenitor Mingchu and the others looked at Qin Nan.
They noticed he was overreacting a little.
"Empress Feiyue...apparently she attacked Progenitor Shuangdao and the others after her aura changed..." Qin Nan said.
"What?"
Progenitor Mingchu, Princess Miao Miao, Jiang Bilan, Xue Mengyao, Zhou Xundao, and Jiaye were startled.
"Tell us the details!" Zhou Xundao immediately said with a stern look.
Qin Nan told them the messages he received from the three progenitors.
"Mm?"
Zhou Xundao and Jiaye frowned.
Meanwhile, a red string appeared on Qin Nan's wrist. Lines of words floated out of it and formed a strange symbol in front of Qin Nan.
"The Red String of Three Lifetimes?"
Qin Nan was stunned.
"Qin Nan, the symbol is an ancient secret art. Two people have to use it simultaneously to transmit a person's will into another's Divine Sense through a special medium. It will last for a thousand breaths."
"Since we started using badges to communicate with one another, not many people knew how to use it anymore."
Jiaye explained to Qin Nan about what was going on first and said, "I'll now teach you the secret art."
Thousands of words immediately poured into Qin Nan's mind.
"The copper mirror is looking for me?"
Qin Nan collected his thoughts and started learning the art.
The secret art was not too complicated. It only took Qin Nan less than ten breaths to master it.
Qin Nan immediately performed a series of hand seals.
Buzz!
The symbol floating in front of him turned into hundreds of light rays that flew into his Divine Sense. They gradually formed a figure.
Even though the figure was the same alluring woman with an unapproachable aura, Qin Nan had a feeling she was no longer the woman he was familiar with.
"May I ask if you are Empress Feiyue or Cang's daughter, Ji Jinzi?" Jiaye asked.
He and Zhou Xundao were able to see Qin Nan's Divine Sense.
"Greetings, Senior Jiaye and Senior Zhou Xundao, I've heard a lot about you two and Zhou Xundao from my father's men in the past."
'Empress Feiyue' greeted politely. She did not sound cold as she usually was.
"Did you take over the Empress' will?" Qin Nan said coldly. His Divine Sense was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with murderous intent.
"Of course not, Sister Feiyue has extraordinary talents. She has invented the Art of Three Lifetimes and evolved it into the Art of Ten Lifetimes. I was only a Heaven Immortal in the past. How could I possibly take over her will?"
Empress Feiyue shook her head and said, "However, my memories are gradually influencing Sisster Feiyue. I've taken over temporarily after something happened."
Qin Nan was startled. He asked, "What happened?"
Empress Feiyue lowered her eyes and said, "Sister Feiyue found something called the Soul Acc.u.mulating Book in the Blue Heavens. It contains my mother's fragmented soul."
Zhou Xundao asked, "Are you referring to Immortal Jade Moon."
Empress Feiyue nodded with a grim look and said, "Immortal Jade Moon is indeed my mother's t.i.tle."
Jiaye asked with a puzzled look, "If I'm not mistaken, Immortal Jade Moon should have fallen during the battle in the past. How did her fragmented soul end up in the Soul Acc.u.mulating Book?"
Empress Feiyue shook her head and said, "I don't know either, but part of my mother's soul is indeed among the souls inside the Soul Acc.u.mulating Book. The Soul Acc.u.mulating Book is incomplete too. I've only obtained half of it. There's another half somewhere out there."
"The remaining of my mother's soul must be inside the other half."
Zhou Xundao said, "So you want to..."
Empress Feiyue lowered her voice and said, "That's is correct. I learned through Sister Feiyue's memories that Qin Nan has a powerful artifact called the Nine Dragons Seal which originates from the Blue Heavens. In the past, my father and the three Supreme Highnesses were eager to get their hands on it."
"The other half of the Soul Acc.u.mulating Book is close to the deeper region of the Blue Heavens. Sister Feiyue won't be able to go so deep with her current cultivation. Therefore, I would like Qin Nan to use the Nine Dragons Seal and bring me there."
Qin Nan was startled.
He did not expect things would turn out like this.
Empress Feiyue took a deep breath and said, "Qin Nan, seniors, I know you don't trust me, but I'm willing to swear any oath to prove I'm not lying."
"Besides, I no longer see Cang as my father. If it wasn't for him, my mother wouldn't die. There's no way I'll take my father's side."
"All I want is to free my mother so she can enter the Cycle of Reincarnation."
"It is my only wish. After it's done, I won't occupy Sister Feiyue's will again. I'll perish and reunite with my mother in the next life."
"Is that okay with you?"
She sounded like she was pleading.
Qin Nan was lost in his thoughts. For some reason, the illusionary figure before him resembled both Empress Feiyue and a delicate little girl.
