"Xuanyue!" The Dark Queen's tears had already fallen like rain. She let go of the cat in her arms and hugged Little Ann firmly. She used all of her strength, afraid that this was just a dream.
"Meow!" Xuanyue landed on the ground gently and turned around, crouching beside them. She raised her head and looked at the mother and daughter embracing each other. She felt both happy and disappointed.
"Sorry, mother. I've made you wait."
Little Ann gently stroked her back. She also felt warmth in her heart. For a moment, she felt like she was seeing an illusion. Their identities had been reversed, and she was no longer a child.
"One Will, are you really Princess Xuanyue?" the Dauntless monk asked in disbelief. He felt like his brain was not enough.
"She used to be." Little Ann's voice was calm, possessing the power to calm people down, making it difficult for them to doubt her.
"I don't believe you! You're lying! "
Ming Fei said loudly. She felt a powerful threat. Ji Xuanri was originally the only successor to the position of King Of Chu, yet a powerful competitor had suddenly appeared. This would change many things, perhaps even everything.
"Bitch, how dare you …" The Dark Queen was furious.
"Mother." Little Ann patted the Dark Queen's hand and shook her head at her. Afterwards, she said to Ming Fei, "Is there something you need, Ming Fei?"
"Xuanyue is already dead!" Ming Fei said firmly.
"Oh? How do you know?" Little Ann asked.
"Everyone knows about this!" Ming Fei said.
Chu Lie King was slightly doubtful too. He had asked the school of Yin and Yang to perform many divinations, but they all said that Xuanyue's life force was already gone. How did she come back from the dead?
Little Ann said, "I did die once, but I was saved by someone. I came back to life again. "
"Who saved you? I will definitely thank him greatly," the King Of Chu asked.
"He's not a person of this world. He's already taken off and left."
Little Ann raised her head slightly. Her gaze seemed to pass through the room and fly towards the distant horizon. Perhaps it was because she had heard him mention it too many times, but she also wanted to take a look beyond the Nine Heavens. In the past, she did not care about these thoughts.
"You're lying, outsider. How is it possible to enter and leave this world freely? "Ming Fei said.
Yue Wuyang and Jin Fugui exchanged a glance. Those who were invited to the King-Conferring Ceremony were all existences who stood at the pinnacle of the Nine Prefectures. They understood the power of the laws of heaven and earth the most. The Nine Prefectures had long been devoured by the Demon Region.
"I don't know either," Little Ann said frankly.
This was indeed illogical. Even for existences at the level of Demon God Qiongqi. Descending once required a great deal of effort and would cause a huge commotion. The only explanation was that the "Brother Ox" of Green Mountain was a being of a higher level than Qiongqi. This was not something that these people could understand!
"One Will, you've been hiding so much from me. So this is where your true inheritance lies."
The Dauntless Monk came to a realization and let out a long sigh.
At first, he was worried that Little Ann had inherited the legacy of the Golden Cicada Spirit King. However, even the Golden Cicada Spirit King could not have made her go through three Heavenly Tribulations in a row in just a few decades. The ability to control thirty-three Buddhist treasures at the same time was not something that could exist in this world. Now that she had said so, everything made sense.
"That person didn't want me to reveal this."
"Don't tell me the person you're talking about is actually a bodhisattva?"
The Dauntless Monk's voice trembled slightly. He instinctively treated the "person from beyond the heavens" as a person of buddhism. He felt like only bodhisattvas could freely traverse the various worlds, revive the dead, and grow flesh and bone, nurturing a prodigy of buddhist cultivation like her.
Little Ann said, "He did mention the word bodhisattva." However, he was talking about the White Bone Bodhisattva. "And, I never saw him reveal the appearance of a bodhisattva."
"Bodhisattvas redeem people through their myriad incarnations, so it makes sense that they don't want to reveal their true appearance." The Dauntless Monk was ravishing with joy. He felt a sense of deep veneration towards Little Ann who had seen a bodhisattva before.
If all of this was real, then she was the chosen one. She was the hope of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga, no, of all buddhism in the world. He was also willing to believe that this was real. Compared to that, a measly position of Monk King was nothing.
A series of clangs rang out from behind the Grand Hall.
The Seven Treasures Monk King gripped his staff firmly and was unable to hold back his excitement. His golden bracelet trembled. He had come with a decree to confer the title of Monk King to Little Ann, and he planned on persuading Little Ann again. However, when Little Ann went out to reunite with her family, she had asked him to wait here.
He never thought he would actually hear such a startling secret. Having been defeated by Little Ann's thirty-three buddhist treasures, he basically believed her more than anyone else. He repeated inside, So that's how it is! So that's how it is! I have to report this to the Imperial Preceptor. He has to get her to come to the Spirit Kingdom temple! He has to get her to come to the Spirit Kingdom temple!
"Amitabha. The buddha is merciful!"
The four guardian deities brought their palms together and chanted the name of buddha, bowing towards Little Ann. They were not bowing to her, but to the faintly discernible bodhisattva behind her.
Immediately, the Grand Hall was enveloped in a mysterious, solemn, and religious atmosphere.
The cultivators looked at one another. Those who were not buddhist struggled to understand this feeling.
If Little Ann really was the successor of a bodhisattva, then she was basically like a saviour to the buddhist disciples of this world. The bodhisattva must have enlightened Little Ann so that she could illuminate this world.
So that's how it is. That's the only explanation for their cultivation speed and their unbelievable power. Though, that probably isn't some bodhisattva! Gu Yanying thought. She had seen Li Qingshan's daemon form and Little Ann's skeletal form. She found it very difficult to believe that they were the handiwork of a bodhisattva.
Under this atmosphere, Ming Fei was unable to harp on this topic anymore. She questioned, "Alright, even if what you said is true, why did you only reveal yourself now? I remember that you were already a disciple of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga many years ago! "
"I was harmed by someone. My soul was damaged, and my memories were damaged. In the beginning, I couldn't even speak! Even though there were some fragments of my memories, I couldn't confirm it. Only afterwards did I completely recover my memories. I've made you wait, mother, "Little Ann apologised.
"Who harmed you? Was it this woman? "The Dark Queen pointed at Ming Fei and asked.
Little Ann gazed deeply at Ming Fei. Her empty eyes actually made Ming Fei feel a sliver of fear. That was not the gaze of looking at a person, but more like gazing at emptiness.
Chu Lie King frowned. If Xuan Yue really did accuse Ming Fei of being the murderer, then the problem would be severe.
Little Ann shook her head gently. "I'm not too sure either. After all, I was still young back then. But that's not important. What's important is that I'm back, isn't it?"
"Yeah, you're right." Although the Dark Queen struggled to quell her resentment, she did not want to pursue the matter right now and ruin the joy of their reunion.
"No matter who the murderer is, I will make them pay the price!" Chu Lie King let out a sigh of relief. Basically, he had acknowledged Little Ann's identity indirectly. Even without the profound connection of his closest kin, he did not believe there was a need for her to pretend to be his daughter.
"Thank you, father." Little Ann bowed and turned around. She said to the head of the Sword Collection palace, "Palace master, you can take out the xiezhi's horn now, right? Did I lie at all? "
