The witch of the White Lotus Sect and Mr. Yu of the Rebel Army sat facing each other...
Meanwhile, An Linyuan tightly gripped the hilt of her knife, standing attentively behind Mr. Yu, or rather, behind her foster mother...
If the Divine Mother before her bore any ill will towards her foster mother, she dared to draw her blade and strike at the deity.
Having come from the lowest ranks of the Yingui Association, she had witnessed too much.
She knew of her foster mother’s ability to turn the world upside down, creating chaos everywhere.
Had it been just that, she wouldn’t have been so fiercely loyal and admiring of her foster mother.
The reason she was this way also stemmed from the other things her foster mother had done.
Her foster mother had long ago spread the Cultivation Technique and the secrets of the Noble Families, even the secrets of the Immortality Peach, without any reserve, allowing everyone to easily access the techniques and understand how to advance further.
Her foster mother utilized the energy at her disposal to aid the disaster-stricken people without breaking the Dynasty’s laws and even covertly distributed the scarce "Wood Crystals" to enrich the barren soil.
At the same time, she left the Yingui Association she belonged to, assisted the Righteous Army, and stirred up a Chaotic World, nurturing heroes in troubled times to preserve the vitality of the world.
Her foster mother provided humanity with the opportunity to grow.
She was an Immortal who rescued the afflicted from their suffering, as well as a demon who ignited a Chaotic World.
Her foster mother said, "If it were a golden age without external threats and self-sufficiency within, she would have not acted as such," but now... it was not the case.
"Deities have their own affairs, to depend on deities for salvation is but a fool’s dream... People need to save themselves," she noted. free𝑤ebnovel.com
All of these things earned An Linyuan’s respect.
Therefore, she was willing to accompany her foster mother through a life of wandering, ready to sacrifice herself to protect her.
Even if it meant facing deities, she would not retreat.
A mother knows her daughter best, and An Chenyu clearly sensed the girl’s concern, so she chuckled lightly, saying, "Yuan, you might still not understand your foster father’s temperament."
An Linyuan was taken aback.
An Chenyu said with a smile, "Since you’ve become your foster father’s Taoist companion, the Divine Mother of Non-Birth is no different from family, you need not be so tense."
After these words, she bowed again, respectfully saying, "Divine Mother, may I ask if what Chenyu says is correct?"
Jing Shifei had naturally heard about the affairs of the woman before her with Song Cheng and said indifferently, "You are someone with great destiny, Song has repeatedly instructed me to take good care of you, to see you as I would see him. From now on, you may call me sister."
Given her status, it was impossible for her to be so courteous to an existence akin to an "ant."
However, she was aware that Song Cheng’s potential was limitless, and it wasn’t certain that solely Mount Buzhou could dominate the Blue Sea, so binding herself early with Song Cheng’s kin, too, was a great opportunity for her.
"Divine Sister Non-Birth."
An Chenyu was far from timid.
Jing Shifei replied, "The title ’Divine Mother of Non-Birth’ is but an exaggeration conjured by followers."
An Chenyu glanced back slightly and instructed, "Yuan, go and pour two cups of tea."
"Yes, sir," Yuan responded.
An Linyuan left.
An Chenyu once again smiled as she looked towards the deity before her.
The deity said, "My name is Jing Shifei."
"Sister Jing," An Chenyu bowed again.
"What’s between us, do not disclose to anyone else, and if the Western Extreme Goddess comes looking for you, you must never mention that I was here."
"Understood, Sister Jing," An Chenyu agreed.
Following that brief exchange of words, Jing Shifei straightforwardly revealed the situation she encountered and the purpose of her visit.
An Chenyu occasionally inquired about details and pondered.
Jing Shifei spoke without reservation, and then she waited in silence.
After a while, An Chenyu said, "So, sister, your ultimate goal is to help Song find a Cultivation Technique, correct?"
Jing Shifei nodded.
An Chenyu suggested, "There’s one technique that might work. Sister, you can take the ’Water Spirit Illuminating Heaven Scripture’ and seek to merge it elsewhere, and make it clear that... each of the Seven Great Powers has its strengths as well as shortcomings. Only through merging can we solve some of the problems that were impossible to overcome before, and this matter is urgent, demanding immediate attention.
If the other forces still don’t agree, the elders within their powers will start causing their own turmoil."
At the same time, do you still remember Shi Feng?
If Shi Feng once strategized but has been silent for so many years, he must be waiting for an opportunity.
Undoubtedly, your move will give him a new opportunity.
Shi Feng will surely add fuel to the fire and inflame the conflict between the eagerness of the elders for the Seven Great Powers to merge and the hesitation of the powers to act.
I suspect that there could be people from Shi Feng in those Seven Great Powers, and when the time comes, those individuals will appear as well."
Jing Shifei fell silent, then voiced, "You mean, I also have to secretly cooperate with Shi Feng?"
An Chenyu nodded slightly, saying, "In the beginning, we need to cooperate with him, once our goal is achieved, we must expose him as quickly as possible, but in the meantime, it will be fraught with great danger, a succession of critical moments...
If all goes well, the final outcome will be the fusion of the Seven Great Powers, and the resolution of Shi Feng and his backers; if not, everything might descend into complete chaos.
The key actions you can take are two.
First, delay.
You mustn’t hurry; let the elders grow impatient.
Second, Song’s talent.
On this point, we can only trust Song..."
The two then discussed further details. The more they talked, the more Jing Shifei felt it was possible.
However, this was undoubtedly a risky strategy.
But doing nothing meant the Seven Great Powers were doomed to decline. Rather than dragging it out, it was better to make a bold strike while both the new and the old were present, to genuinely find a path of advancement suitable for more people.
Without realizing it, they had been talking for a long time, and An Linyuan hadn’t naively brought in two cups of tea but was guarding outside. Also circling outside was a general from the "Rebel Army" stationed there.
In the general’s eyes, the White Lotus Sect was conspiring with Mr. Yu on how to overthrow the current Darong Dynasty.
He thought several times about entering but was always repelled by An Linyuan’s gaze, scratching his head anxiously and occasionally asking, "Little Blade Fairy, is the White Lotus Sect really going to collaborate with our Righteous Army?"
