The Vermilion Bird cautiously said, "But even if he truly comes, it doesn’t mean he’s willing to have a child with you... Although the Master is a peerless beauty, after all, humans and demons walk different paths. This kind of thing might be hard for him to accept?"
Zhu Wujiang was silent for a moment and said, "I think Chen Mo isn’t that averse to the Demon Clan. You Ji is still doing well, which already shows his attitude, and the attraction of the bloodline is not something ordinary people can resist."
"But before that, there are some things I need to confirm first."
Seeing Zhu Wujiang’s solemn expression, the Vermilion Bird did not ask further, bowing, "I will now take my leave."
With that, the figure slowly disappeared from sight.
Zhu Wujiang then flew towards the depths of the mountains.
Leaping into a cavern, he continued down a winding tunnel until he reached the deepest part of the mountain.
There, a massive stone door stood embedded in the rock face, several meters high, covered with talismans written in red ink on a yellow background, with scorching heat occasionally sweeping through the seams.
Zhu Wujiang took a deep breath, stepped forward, and knocked on the door knocker.
Dong——
The scorching heat abruptly stopped.
A moment later, the door opened by itself, and a low, hoarse voice came from within: "Enter."
Zhu Wujiang entered, and the door slowly closed behind him.
Before his eyes was a deep well that seemed bottomless, as if connecting straight to the Earth’s core. Accompanied by the sound of chains clattering, two crimson vertical pupils emerged from the darkness, hauntingly watching Zhu Wujiang.
"Mother." Zhu Wujiang lowered his head.
Zhu Jiuyou’s voice carried a hint of displeasure, "Why do you call me?"
In this Eternal Prison, every moment is torment. Only slumber allows for a reprieve from the pain, but having been awakened twice recently, naturally, there was some dissatisfaction.
Zhu Wujiang spoke softly, "I went to Qing Province and entered a Secret Realm called the ’Taoist Collection.’"
At these words, the air suddenly fell silent.
The pair of vertical pupils became even more intense, like a blazing sun, with a terrifying pressure that nearly solidified the air, "And then?"
Zhu Wujiang suppressed the trembling rising from his bloodline and briefly described what transpired inside, without mentioning Chen Mo and Yu Youhan, "That Yin Yang Reversal Array, it doesn’t seem to be entirely Mother’s work... If I’m not mistaken, the one who set up the array should be one of the Ancient Emperors of the Human Race who besieged you back then?"
"Was it also this person who trapped Mother for a millennium?"
"What exactly is his relationship with Mother?"
Faced with Zhu Wujiang’s questions, Zhu Jiuyou did not reply immediately.
After a long time, his gaze gradually dimmed, sighing, "As one of impure bloodline in the Dragon Clan, to achieve this is already quite talented, but your determination is still lacking. I didn’t intend to tell you so soon, but since the Taoist Collection has opened, it means everything is inevitable..."
"Forget it, words cannot explain clearly, you better see for yourself."
Zhu Jiuyou’s sharp claws tore open his palm, a drop of crimson blood flowing out, slowly merging into Zhu Wujiang’s brow.
After carefully inspecting the memories in the blood, Zhu Wujiang was instantly stunned on the spot.
They had speculated about many things, but the truth of those years far exceeded their expectations!
"I never imagined it would be..."
"Now you should understand why I told you to dispel your fantasies, to stop attempting to coexist with the Human Race, because those base creatures are simply not trustworthy!"
"Smooth-talking, honey-lipped yet swords-hearted, what we deem as life-binding oaths are but tools for them to seize benefits!"
Aside from anger, there was a slight tremor of sorrow in Zhu Jiuyou’s voice.
In all these years, Zhu Wujiang had never felt such complex emotions from his mother.
"I understand Mother’s plight, but..."
Before he could finish, Zhu Jiuyou seemed to sense something, and his massive body suddenly surfaced.
The chains on the well walls tightened, runes glowing red, crushing scales and embedding into flesh and blood, yet he seemed oblivious, his vertical pupils fixed on a void somewhere.
"This aura... it’s Fahrenheit Star!"
"Someone has cultivated the ’Ancient Spirit Constitution’ to the Fahrenheit Star Realm!"
"Could it be someone in this world has refined the True Dragon Blood? Moreover, I can also smell Red Dragon Qi. It seems the prediction of that Taoist was correct, the millennium change has finally arrived!"
