As he was about to leave the Jiushan Realm, Yan Wushuang suddenly hesitated to speak, then stopped, then attempted to speak again, with that kind of expression... like he wanted to hold back, but couldn’t hold it in.
Seeing him , Zheng Fa kindly initiated the conversation.
Yan Wushuang’s voice was very low, so low that even Zheng Fa almost didn’t catch what he was really asking.
But he immediately understood what Yan Wushuang meant, he was asking if Zheng Fa was the reincarnation of Tianhe Venerable.
Zheng Fa remained silent for a moment, then honestly responded.
Whether his transmigration was related to Tianhe Venerable, he was not sure now, but if he was Tianhe Venerable...
Zheng Fa did not feel so.
Yan Wushuang exhaled softly, as if letting go of a worry in his heart, and smiled: "It’s good that you are not, it’s really good, I’m not lying to you, if the ancestor stood in front of me."
"I would actually be a bit scared..."
"If you were the ancestor, I definitely wouldn’t dare to speak."
Watching Yan Wushuang holding the Comprehensive Records and leaving with an alleviated demeanor, Zheng Fa then took out the small booklet, and started deciphering it according to the rules Yan Wushuang had shared.
The information in the booklet was disorderly.
Most of it was words from the Tianhe Sect Leader, and some were from other seniors.
The content was basically about the rumors within the sect concerning the last epoch, reminiscing about Tianhe Venerable, and recalling the sect’s most flourishing history.
Much of it was boastful and exaggerated, not entirely truthful or false, and Zheng Fa could not clearly distinguish.
These disjointed snippets of information lacked concrete evidence, making them unavoidably dull and disappointing—yet considering Yan Wushuang’s effort in gathering these, Zheng Fa still meticulously read every word.
His glance swept casually over a few characters, then suddenly, he paused, turned his head, and reread the sentence:
"Senior Sister Zhang said, the Sword Dao realm of the ancestor is actually related to the Nine Reincarnation Golden Core, without this cultivation method, the rumored Refining Sword into Silk, Sword Transformation techniques, are extremely difficult."
"Therefore, such Swordsmanship has been lost in the sect."
Nine Reincarnation Golden Core?
Isn’t that the Nine Reincarnation Golden Core Method?
Zheng Fa read these four characters several times, then repeatedly reviewed the other records in the booklet, especially what Xie Qingxue had said, trying to find more clues.
But it was unclear whether Xie Qingxue had just mentioned it inadvertently.
Or later had some reservations, the four characters ’Nine Reincarnation Golden Core’ never appeared in the booklet again.
He gently closed the booklet, his brows slightly furrowed, his mind filled with surprise and doubts.
Originally, when Jiushan Sect explored the so-called Tianhe relics, they obtained a seemingly ordinary rock.
From that rock, Zheng Fa received an incomplete legacy.
That legacy, was the Nine Reincarnation Golden Core Method.
This cultivation method should be the Basic Great Method of Tianhe Venerable during the Golden Core Stage.
Zheng Fa was now unsure whether the person who set up this secret realm was after the Nine Reincarnation Golden Core Method, or the Yin Yang Jade Pendant.
Now to hear it from Xie Qingxue’s mouth?
Just then, Zhang came to his yard, and seeing his odd expression, curiously asked.
Zheng Fa passed the booklet over.
Zhang read the sentence, and also furrowed her brow.
She was also aware of the origin of this Nine Reincarnation Golden Core Method.
"Does Xie Qingxue know the Nine Reincarnation Golden Core Method?"
Zheng Fa nodded: "I don’t know if she does, but at least she’s very familiar."
Zhang pondered for a while, then speculated: "It’s actually not surprising, after all, Tianhe Sect is an inheritance of Tianhe Venerable, and she is the senior sister of Tianhe Sect, knowing about the Nine Reincarnation Golden Core Method is very likely."
"It is possible, but..." Zheng Fa slowly said, "Other things aside, that stone should be the real relic left by Tianhe Venerable, otherwise it wouldn’t just leave a spell name."
"He even said, once you practice the Nine Reincarnation Golden Core Method, you will become him."
"And Tianhe Sect betrayed Tianhe Venerable, if they knew this, they probably wouldn’t let their descendants practice this spell."
Zhang understood when she heard this—for Tianhe Sect, if someone actually turned into the ancestor, it would be a disaster for everyone.
"This Nine Reincarnation Golden Core Method in Tianhe Sect, maybe, is also a taboo."
Zhang’s expression slowly changed, she seemed to grasp Zheng Fa’s meaning: "You mean, Tianhe Sect might not have left the Nine Reincarnation Golden Core Method as an inheritance?"
Zheng Fa gently nodded.
"Then how did Xie Qingxue..." Zhang suddenly had a strange expression, "She... could she be the reincarnation of Tianhe Venerable?"
That sound, a bit familiar...
Yan Wushuang thought he might be, but Zhang actually thought it was Xie Qingxue.
Zheng Fa couldn’t figure out the reasoning—a sentence was too little to base any deduction on.
Even Tianhe Sect might actually possess the Nine Reincarnation Golden Core Method, and all these guesses naturally became uncertain.
Zhang pondered for a moment, suddenly shook her head smiling, and said: "Whether or not, it’s not much related to us, rather it’s Tianhe Sect, their most outstanding disciple of this generation if really a reincarnation or related to him..."
"That... would be quite a spectacle."
A gleeful expression appeared on Zhang’s face.
She was also aware of Zheng Fa’s subtle apprehensions towards the Xuanwei Five Sects, a bit of trouble for Tianhe Sect wasn’t a bad thing for Jiushan Sect.
Zheng Fa suddenly remembered Yan Wushuang who had left happily, feeling that he might be somewhat unlucky.
If Tianhe Venerable’s reincarnation was always beside Yan Wushuang...
Who knows how he would feel once he found out, it might be quite thrilling.
In Tianhe Sect’s quarters, Xie Qingxue frowned as she watched Yan Wushuang holding the Comprehensive Records and chuckling.
Yan Wushuang’s hand trembled, nearly dropping the Comprehensive Records on the ground, he looked up blankly, only to see his senior sister standing beside him with a forced smile, staring intently at the Comprehensive Records in his hands.
