He looked exactly like the legendary Nameless Old Man.
"Senior, can you tell me what is going on between you and my parents?" Chen Hao mustered up his courage and asked.
The Nameless Old Man stared at Chen Hao through the black veil. After a moment, he said, "You … are their adopted son?"
Chen Hao was slightly taken aback.
"Your bloodline doesn't have their aura, and your appearance is very different …" The Nameless Old Man explained when he saw Chen Hao's expression. She dared to say it because she believed that Chen Hao's parents would not hide this from Chen Hao. Moreover, with the original information about Chen Hao, in her opinion, it was very likely that Chen Hao was an orphan adopted by his parents.
But when Chen Hao heard the Nameless Old Man's words, his mind turned. This was an elder worthy of sympathy and respect. Because of his own negligence, he exposed the existence of his parents. Naturally, it was impossible to hide it. But as pitiful as it was, Chen Hao was even more unwilling to see his parents be affected because of her.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Hao said, "I was adopted by my parents. I also have a younger brother and a younger sister. They are my parents' biological children. They are five years younger than me. "
As Chen Hao spoke, he took out a wooden carving of a family from his storage space and handed it to the Nameless Old Man. "Before I came to the cultivation world, my father told me that if someone came looking for me because of my carving skills, I must not expose him … but I didn't do it. Senior, they are doing well now, so, I hope … "
Chen Hao wanted to say something, but when he saw the Nameless Old Man's thin body begin to tremble again, he could not say anything.
"Do you know … who I am?"
At this moment, the Nameless Old Man looked up at Chen Hao and asked with a trembling voice.
What surprised Chen Hao even more was that the nameless old man suddenly lifted the bamboo hat on his head. His long, snow-white hair cascaded down …
Her pale face, which had never seen the light of day all year round, was sparkling and translucent like jade. There was not a single wrinkle on her face. If it were not for the fact that her arched eyebrows had turned white, just by looking at her face alone, one would think that she was at most in her twenties. But what really shocked Chen Hao was that this face was actually 90% similar to his mother's, even though their temperaments had become completely different due to their respective encounters. However, his eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, and face shape were astonishingly identical. Only his skin, hair, and aura were completely different. However, when Chen Hao captured the traces of life auras, they were completely the same. At the very least, his mother when she was young was probably the same as the nameless old man in front of him. Other than that, what made Chen Hao's heart tremble was the nameless old man's gaze.
Sadness.
Endless sadness, sadness, and desolation.
"I'm your father's first wife, his first dao partner. Did you know that? I'm your mother's sister, your biological sister. Did you know that? I've never blamed them, because it's not their fault. It's fate, and it's also my fault … Don't worry, I won't look for them again. I only hope that when you see them again, you can tell them that I also have his flesh and blood … I originally wanted to find him and let him see his flesh and blood being born with his own eyes, but after more than a hundred years, the child in my belly can't wait any longer … "
The nameless old man's words were like bolts of thunder exploding in Chen Hao's mind. He had thought of all the possibilities, but in the end, he did not expect the situation to be so complicated. Fate's fault … What kind of fate would produce such a tortuous past?
"They don't want to see me, they're afraid to see me, it's fine … I won't see them again in this life. But for his flesh and blood, I hope that he can fulfill his responsibility as a father! I'll trouble you to give this to him when you see him … "
The nameless old man said emotionally. As she spoke, a pure and terrifying energy abruptly appeared in front of her, accompanied by a mysterious fluctuation of Divine Sense. Immediately, it turned into a blue crystal that was completely condensed from energy and Divine Sense, floating in front of Chen Hao.
"Yihan, let's go …"
When Chen Hao held the crystal in his hand in a daze, the nameless old man had already disappeared in front of him. A hoarse and sad voice came from outside the cultivation room.
"Master, did you ask clearly?"
"Let's go, Master will send you back …"
"Senior!" Chen Hao turned around and rushed out of the cultivation room, but the nameless old man and Leng Yihan's figures had strangely disappeared in front of him.
…
"So ruthless …"
Chen Hao stood there in a daze for a few minutes. Suddenly, the voice of the Treasure-hunting Sword Spirit sounded in his mind.
"So ruthless? What's so ruthless? "
"Erasing a part of her own memory with her own hands, don't you think it's ruthless? Sigh … Since ancient times, too much love leads to too much regret … You don't have to waste your time looking. This crystal is a part of her memory, condensed from magic power and spiritual sense. Other than your father, I'm afraid no one can open it. No matter how powerful their divine ability is, they can only destroy it and not read it, "said the Treasure-hunting Sword Spirit.
"You mean to say that she separated her memory and merged it into this crystal?"
"Yes. And she sacrificed at least five hundred years of her lifespan. She should be in the Creation Realm with only a thousand years of lifespan. What a pity … "
"Speak clearly," Chen Hao said with a frown. At this moment, Chen Hao not only felt sympathy and doubt for the nameless old man. At the same time, he also had a lot of doubts about the Treasure-hunting Sword Spirit. Every time he felt that he was "just so-so", his knowledge seemed to increase to a level that would shock him again. Just like what he said now.
"Simply put, she should be close to two hundred years old now. Extracting the memories of her soul and sacrificing her lifespan to condense this Memory Soul Crystal took at least five hundred years or even more. Just this alone isn't fatal. The most fatal thing is that once anyone's soul and memories are extracted, their soul will be incomplete, and they will be unable to improve their cultivation for the rest of their lives. This also means that she probably doesn't have much time left. Moreover, because her soul is incomplete, it will directly dissipate after death and be unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation. It can be considered as the destruction of her soul … Ruthless, truly ruthless … and truly pitiful … "
Chen Hao's eyes opened wide, and he was shocked to the extreme. Especially when he thought of the last words the nameless old man said, "I won't see you again in this lifetime," an indescribable feeling surged in his heart. She did it, she did it. Because she extracted all the memories related to her father. Otherwise, how could she do it? How unforgettable was it to wander the world searching for him for over a hundred years? Perhaps she knew that she couldn't do it without doing this, or perhaps she didn't want to endure this mental torture any longer, so she resolutely chose the neutral method …
Since ancient times, excessive love leads to regret, and this regret is endless.
Even though Chen Hao hadn't experienced a vigorous and emotional love, at this moment, he felt as if he was treading on thin ice, trembling with fear. Especially when he thought of Xia Youyou, Helian Wuzi, Tantai Lian …
"Could it be that there's no way to have the best of both worlds? Polygamy, in this world, there are no restrictions … and she was also father's first wife, so why did father do this? Mother was her younger sister, so shouldn't they be happy? Her body and soul were destroyed just like that, I'm afraid that even her parents wouldn't want to see that, right? "Chen Hao was at a loss.
"Don't let your mother know, and don't ask her. Even if you ask her, she wouldn't know … sigh …"
At this moment, Chen Hao suddenly remembered what his father said to him before he stepped into the world of cultivation.
"Mother is also from the world of cultivation, and was once an expert like her, right? Why doesn't mother know anything … why? Could it be that she was the same as her … "
A wave of complete coldness made Chen Hao break out in cold sweat.
Who was right, who was wrong, who was ruthless?
Especially when he thought of his mother's face, which was much older than the nameless old man, Chen Hao's heart tightened.
"Is there any way? I mean, is there any way to fix the damaged soul? "Chen Hao anxiously and coldly asked in his mind.
"The method is very simple, give this Memory Soul Crystal to her. If she is willing to absorb it, she will naturally recover …"
"What if this Memory Soul Crystal is gone?"
"Then it's basically considered that there's no way …"
"What do you mean basically? Speak! "
"This … I can only ask that family … that senior in your mind …" The Treasure-hunting Sword Spirit originally wanted to say that guy, but when he said the word family, he changed it to that senior.
"Just now … these things were told to you by him?"
"Cough cough … what did he tell me? I knew it from the start! It's just that … it's just that I just remembered … this, Chen Hao, I always thought that I had escaped from his control, but now … it seems that I am still his prisoner … some things that belong to me are all with him, I … I am also damaged … sigh … "
"Why didn't he communicate with me directly?" Chen Hao asked coldly.
"Your cultivation is not enough. Step into the Golden Core Realm … at least, we are all weapon spirits, and the inherited divine beast is also a spirit body. Communication between us is very simple, but you are different. Before you refine his body, you will not be able to communicate with him. "
"Golden Core Realm … good! Tell him that I will use the fastest speed to step into the Golden Core Realm! "
"It's useless to have an unstable foundation. You can't advance just for the sake of advancing. These three months, you advanced because of a fortuitous encounter. Although your foundation is solid, it is ultimately not as solid as relying on your own comprehension and tempering. Otherwise, even if you advance to the Golden Core Realm, you may not be able to temper him … "
"This is my luck! Every step of my advancement has been solid and solid! Just wait! "
Chen Hao said arrogantly. Once he finished speaking, he directly cut off the connection with the probing sword spirit and carefully put the blue crystal into his storage space. He did not attempt to examine the secrets within. This was given to his father by the nameless old man. He did not have the right to examine it, or else it would be a blasphemy. Similarly, he did not have the ability to examine it. According to the probing sword spirit, even experts above the Creation Realm could not examine it. At most, they could destroy it.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Hao walked quickly to the cultivation room.
He did not care about the final outcome, but he would not allow his mother and the nameless old man, or more accurately, his aunt or aunt, to be destroyed just like that …
