Great Sage Sect.
Without even meeting the sect master, Supremacy brought Ye Jingshu to Mount Xingyun.
Ye Shizhong wanted to go with them, but he was blocked outside Mount Xingyun. Ye Shizhong didn't know what Ye Jingshu was going to do. He originally thought that Ye Jingshu's situation couldn't be compared to Ye Zhen's, but he didn't expect Supremacy to bring her to the Great Sage Sect.
"Father, what does Supremacy mean?" Ye Wei asked in confusion.
"I'm not sure either." Ye Shizhong replied in a low voice. "Whether it's Ye Zhen or Ye Jingshu, the Ye family can't give up so easily. Let's go back and discuss this with the patriarch."
Ye Wei asked in a low voice, "Father, why were you so tolerant of Ye Zhen in Haotian City? She was clearly in the wrong. If not for her, Lan 'er wouldn't have become the second prince's concubine. "
"Of course I know what she did to Lan 'er!" Ye Shizhong's eyes flashed with coldness. "But, Wei 'er, don't forget that she has the Phoenix Jade Essence Body. Even the king wants her to stay in Zhou. If she can stay in our Ye family forever, it'll be a good thing for us."
Ye Wei looked at Ye Shizhong in shock. "Father, you can't be …"
"Bastard, what are you thinking? Father wants you to marry her!" Ye Shizhong shouted in exasperation.
"I don't want to!" Ye Wei refused immediately. "That woman is scheming. If I marry her, Lan 'er will definitely not recognize me as her big brother in the future."
Ye Shizhong glared at him. "Why don't you think about it? If she can become your wife, your cultivation will definitely advance by leaps and bounds. At that time, she will be the daughter-in-law of the Ye Family. Can she still rebel?"
"But …" Ye Wei was still unwilling. He just hesitated at the thought of improving his cultivation.
"You're still unwilling? It's still a problem whether Ye Zhen can leave Haotian City. If Emperor Mo refuses to let her go, are we going to fight him for her?" Ye Shizhong frowned. He had no confidence in going against Haotian City.
Ye Wei said, "Then Emperor Mo …"
"Let's go back to the Ye family first." Ye Shizhong turned back to look in the direction of Mt. Xingyun. It seemed like the situation was no longer within the Ye Family's control.
Mount Xingyun.
First, he brought Ye Jingshu to the underground palace. Here, he could truly feel at ease talking to Ye Jingshu.
"What do you want to show me when you bring me to Mount Xingyun?" Ye Jingshu asked calmly.
"Heaven Spiritual Root." The High Lord said in a low voice, "The reincarnation of every generation of Flame Devil Kings all possess a Heavenly Spirit Root. People without a Heavenly Spirit Root are completely unable to cultivate in the techniques of the Flame Devils. You do not have a single bit of Spirit Root."
Ye Jingshu chuckled. "High Priest, there's no need to test me. You've already confirmed my identity. You don't need a Heaven Spirit Root to cultivate the Flame Devil's cultivation technique. Even if you don't have a Spirit Root, you can still cultivate it."
He lifted his eyes and looked at Ye Jingshu. Indeed, there was no need to test her. The fact that she could say that proved her identity.
"Since it's you, why did you let Ye Zhen take over your identity?"
"I have my own arrangements." Ye Jingshu said indifferently. "Have you seen Fiend King and the others?"
Shang Shang turned around. "Follow me."
"I know what you're worried about." Ye Jingshu's voice was calm and unperturbed. "When I reincarnated, I had already severed my purity. This time, I won't be soft-hearted for anyone."
"That's for the best." The High Lord said in a low voice. His eyes drooped slightly, his heart feeling rather complicated.
He had already waited many years for the Flame Devil King. Now that he had finally arrived, he just felt that … something was wrong.
What exactly was missing?
"You've been together with Ye Zhen for so long. Don't you have any feelings for her?" Ye Jingshu asked in a low voice.
"Naturally." The High Lord did not deny it.
The corners of Ye Jingshu's lips curled up slightly as she smiled mildly.
The High Lord brought Ye Jingshu into the ice cave and let her see the ice coffin.
"This is …" Ye Jingshu's usually calm face revealed a shocked expression. "How did you find it?"
"Shi Ying, after you fell into the glacier, I came out of seclusion. I searched the glacier for fifty years before I finally broke the seal and brought you out. However, at that time, your primordial spirit had already reincarnated." The High Lord said indifferently. "You're the previous generation's Flame Devil King, but so is Ye Zhen. Why?"
"Shang Shang, back then … you insisted on going into seclusion to reincarnate. Was it because of me?" Ye Jingshu looked at the High Lord with a smile that was not a smile. She actually did not see through it.
The High Lord raised his eyes and looked at Ye Jingshu silently. "You still haven't answered my question. You have the memories of the previous generation's Flame Devil King, but not his body. Why?"
A hint of annoyance flashed in Ye Jingshu's eyes. "Emperor Mo lured me to the glacier. I originally wanted to discuss a peaceful coexistence with him, but he betrayed me. I knew that if I left my primordial spirit alive, Emperor Mo would definitely not let me go, so … I split the primordial spirit's memories and the devil core into two. My memories will not change no matter how many reincarnations I go through. However, I did not expect that the devil core would fall into the human world."
"I didn't understand it before. I only found out a year ago that Emperor Mo opened a gap in the human world and sent his avatar to the human world. Therefore, the devil core also ended up in the human world. After several reincarnations, Ye Zhen's existence came to be."
"Shang Shang, Ye Zhen will never become a Flame Devil King. The memories attached to the devil core have long disappeared in the reincarnations. She has the body of the Flame Devil King, but she has no memories. She is Emperor Mo's wife in the human world. Unless she is destroyed and she and Emperor Mo become enemies, there is no chance for her primordial spirit to awaken."
Hearing Ye Jingshu's words, a hint of understanding flashed in the High Lord's eyes. He finally understood why he always felt that something was missing when he saw Ye Jingshu. That's right, the High Priest in the previous life had indeed liked the Flame Devil King. This feeling had been settled for two hundred years, but when he saw Ye Jingshu, it became indifferent.
The High Lord had originally wanted to extract the soul breath belonging to the Flame Devil King from Ye Zhen's body and place it in Mount Xingyun's body. However, because it had been frozen for too long, the Flame Devil King had gone through several reincarnations, and this body had long been useless. He had always been looking for a way to awaken Ye Zhen's primordial spirit. Now that Ye Jingshu had appeared, he finally understood why Ye Zhen had not awakened for so long.
Before Ye Jingshu died, Ye Ying had separated her primordial spirit from the devil core. The primordial spirit was the existence of the memory, while the devil core was the existence of the body. Ye Jingshu was the memory of the previous generation's Flame Devil King, while Ye Zhen was the reincarnation of the devil core. Her memory had already completely belonged to an ordinary person. Strictly speaking, Ye Zhen was the true Flame Devil King, while Ye Jingshu only represented the memory of the previous generation's Flame Devil King. Ye Zhen represented the inheritance of the previous generation's Flame Devil Kings.
The woman who had been the accumulation of the previous generation's Flame Devil King was the one he had once been infatuated with, not the current Ye Jingshu.
"What exactly are you planning?" The High Lord asked in a low voice.
