Chapter 625: Chapter 285: Sect Leader’s Immortal Mansion, Colorful Bone and Golden Feather

Tribulation Crossing Peak.

This is a suspended peak located above the summit of the Six Great Peaks.

Below, clouds and mist swirl, unfathomably deep, as the solitary mountain peak stands quietly.

The peak is not large, and upon it sits an Immortal Mansion, the residence of the Zhenyang Sect’s Sect Leader.

Five hundred years ago, the Zhenyang Sect was still called the True Yang Sect, and it was a small sect.

During that time, Zhenyang Mountain was still known as Cyan Lotus Mountain, the base of the Cyan Lotus Sect.

Later, the Cyan Lotus Sect’s Sect Leader, Sheng Tanglian, died suddenly, and the Cyan Lotus Sect was, for reasons unknown, labeled as the Demon Sect and expelled from the Eastern Cultivation Land.

Thus, the Cyan Lotus Mountain was occupied by the True Yang Sect and renamed Zhenyang Mountain.

Subsequently, the True Yang Sect was renamed the Zhenyang Sect.

Not long after, the sect’s founding master, Zhenyang, ascended, and the elder Li Tian succeeded as Sect Leader.

But Li Tian soon succumbed to inner demons and perished, throwing the Zhenyang Sect into a brief chaos as several elders vied for the position of Sect Leader by any means necessary.

At this time, a disciple named Chen Qingmo rose like a comet, quickly pacifying the turmoil and ultimately becoming the Sect Leader.

Afterward, the Zhenyang Sect gradually grew stronger until it became the leader of the Righteous Path in the world.

Honestly, counting carefully, the Zhenyang Sect has experienced only three Sect Leaders in total.

On Tribulation Crossing Peak stand three enormous stone statues; the first, handsome and refined, is the sect’s founding master, Zhenyang.

The second, heroic and extraordinary, is the second Sect Leader, Li Tian.

The third, with graceful appearance, is the third Sect Leader, Chen Qingmo.

At this moment, several disciples stand below the statues, guarding the Sect Leader’s Immortal Mansion.

Chen Qingmo is in seclusion and not residing here, but since Tribulation Crossing Peak is the Sect Leader’s residence, others cannot come and go freely.

Therefore, disciples guard here every night.

At this time, three ghostly figures slipped through the gaps between the two squads of disciples.

They were enveloped in a Concealment Array, leaving these disciples completely unaware.

The three figures arrived in front of the Immortal Mansion, and one of them waved their hand gracefully, silently dismantling several Guardian Arrays around the Immortal Mansion.

"Madam’s expertise in arrays is truly unparalleled in the world; even the arrays of Tribulation Crossing Peak cannot trouble you."

In the Concealment Array, Jian Yue clapped her little hands, her face full of admiration.

Qiu Zhihe ignored her, and after dismantling the last Guardian Array, led the two into the Immortal Mansion.

Qin Gengyun landed, glancing around, finding himself in a courtyard with small bridges, flowing water, and willows on the shore, unexpectedly elegant.

Suddenly feeling familiar, Qin Gengyun couldn’t help but blurt out:

"Qiushui Town?"

Qiu Zhihe also nodded: "Small bridges, flowing water, willows, indeed resemble that Qiushui Town. Jian Yue, has Chen Qingmo been to Qiushui Town?"

Jian Yue crossed her arms: "Ye Xiyue was only focused on cultivation back then, not caring about other matters, so I don’t know. However, given that Chen Qingmo went to Qinghe City, it’s not surprising he could have been to Qiushui Town."

Qin Gengyun asked curiously: "Have you never been to the Sect Leader’s Immortal Mansion before?"

Jian Yue shook her head: "The Sect Leader’s Immortal Mansion has always been forbidden, only accessible to the Sect Leader. How could I have been here?"

"Alright, let’s go."

The three quickly passed through this exquisite scenery and arrived at a house.

"This should be Chen Qingmo’s residence."

The house was not surrounded by any arrays, probably because Chen Qingmo did not expect anyone to dare trespass in Zhenyang Sect.

The three entered the house, finding the furnishings quite ordinary, with nothing special.

After searching separately, they found only some Spirit Pills and Magical Artifacts, nothing more.

Qiu Zhihe frowned: "Did we overlook something?"

Qin Gengyun said, "Wife, let me try."

Having said that, he extended his Divine Sense, gradually stretching it around.

With his cultivation constantly improving, Qin Gengyun’s Divine Sense can now extend over twenty zhang, expanding like a large net, covering a broad range with great sensitivity.

Jian Yue watched, her eyes shining with curiosity: "Master’s reach is so long, I want to touch it."

Qiu Zhihe coldly said: "Shut up!"

"Yes, Madam,"

Jian Yue chuckled and agreed, her beautiful eyes flickering with thoughts unknown.

"There!"

Qin Gengyun suddenly opened his eyes and pointed at a seemingly ordinary wall.

Qiu Zhihe stepped forward, sneering: "Chen Qingmo is indeed cautious, even I didn’t discover this Concealment Array."

She moved her hands swiftly, quickly dismantling the array, causing the stone wall to part, revealing a niche with two items placed on it.

Qin Gengyun’s eyes widened: "Is this... a Colorful Bone?"

On the niche rested a Colorful Bone, along with a golden feather resembling flames.

"Whose Colorful Bone is this?"

Jian Yue was equally astonished, not expecting to find such a thing hidden in Chen Qingmo’s Sect Leader’s Immortal Mansion.

Colorful Bones often form after the death of a Great Power, their bodies transmuted, leaving behind the most spiritually potent bones.

Over time, they absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, becoming sentient, thus transforming into Colorful Bones.

Previously, the two Colorful Bones of Sheng Tanglian obtained by Mo Xiaolan were formed in such a manner.

Now, the Colorful Bone before them radiated spiritual energy and brilliance, yet its origin among the predecessors remained unknown.

"Why did Chen Qingmo hide this Colorful Bone within a mechanism?"

Qin Gengyun frowned, cautiously advancing; beside the Colorful Bone was a golden feather.

The Golden Feather shimmered with light, lively like a flame, but stained with a spot of crimson, seemingly blood.

The fact that Chen Qingmo hid the Colorful Bone and Golden Feather so deeply suggested these items were extraordinary.

Qin Gengyun felt a stirring within and sent spiritual energy towards the Colorful Bone.

Instantly, the Colorful Bone flew into the air, its radiance dazzling to the extreme, forming a light curtain in mid-air.

Then, images appeared within the light curtain.

...

"Chen... Su Xin? I’m the Sect Leader’s daughter? My mother is... Master?"

In the Spiritual Power Prison on Thousand Blade Peak.

Su Xin stared blankly at Tantai Mingyue, her face filled with disbelief.

Tantai Mingyue gently stroked the hair on her forehead, her eyes soft with indulgent melancholy, as if lost in memory.

"Years ago, when I descended the mountain to train, I met Lin Yuan and... him, and the three of us traveled together, growing close."

"Later, I discovered he was the Crown Prince of the West Imperial Dynasty."

"I followed him to the West Imperial City, hoping to assist him in smoothly claiming the throne, but never expected..."

"Disheartened, I returned to the Zhenyang Sect, falling into a period of depression and neglect, but Senior Brother Chen stayed by my side. Eventually... I pulled myself together, planning to immerse myself in cultivation, with hopes of one day returning to the Western Emperor Palace for revenge."

"But in my eagerness for revenge, one day I fell into a state of madness, and it was Senior Brother Chen who saved me."

"However, I was severely injured, my cultivation on the verge of loss. Senior Brother Chen said he had a method to help heal my wounds and rapidly enhance my cultivation."

"What method?" Su Xin couldn’t help but ask.

Tantai Mingyue sighed, her eyes revealing both sweetness and a hint of confusion.

"Dual Cultivation Method."
