Chapter 2000 - Conversation between Grandmother and Grandchild

Chan Shan stared at her and knew that when she said she had seen it, she was not talking about the average item.

“What did you see?”

“The origin.”

“The origins of the Ninth Underworld Clan?”

“More accurately, the origin of life.’ Sima You Yue stood on the mountain peak and looked into the distance. She saw the river that flowed out of the Ninth Underworld Mountain where the black lotuses swayed. “What I saw was how life was born from that river. I watched how they evolved and how they disappeared. Of course, I also saw the black lotuses grow in the river.”

Chan Shan was surprised, “Where did you see that?”

“Chaos World, by the river.” Sima You Yue said, “Huan said that there is where life was birthed, where life originated. It’s just that it left the Chaos World after that, and very few people can go there.”

“I didn’t think that you would actually go to Chaos World. It seems like you are really a person with a lot of fortune.” Chan Shan was happy for her luck, but her heart ached at the same time.

“I know, there is an even more powerful world up above. Although those ancient clans have left, they still had to find a place to rest. I wonder why they wanted to leave, and I’m guessing that the people from this time have already forgotten that life began from Chaos World.” Sima You Yue said emotionally.

“You’re right. The ancient clans truly live in another place. Very few people know where that is. In the past, my clansmen had a place as well, but now…” Chan Shan’s aura changed. Even without her saying it, Sima You Yue had already guessed what it was. “However, a skinny dragon is still bigger than a horse. That is why those houseflies can be irritating, but they can’t really do much to us. That is why you don’t have to do anything now. Just grow up properly and become our future hope.”

“Mm.” Sima You Yue knew that she was too powerful right now and she didn’t need to do anything else. It was just that there would be a lot of trouble in the future.

“Just stay in the clan in the future. If you’re here, you will be able to get better resources for cultivation”

“I have Ancestor’s underworld power, so I don’t need too much experience when it comes to cultivation. Right now, the most important thing for me is to improve my realm.” Sima You Yue said, “If I can’t keep up on the cognitive level, my realm will not be able to improve. It will be a huge block to my cultivation in the future.”

“You are very clear on your current situation.”

“Also, I have to rescue Mother. That is why I cannot remain here forever.” Sima You Yue said.

“Your mother is doing alright right now. The more important thing is for you to become stronger.”

“Grandmother, you’ve met Mother?” Sima You Yue was very surprised. Didn’t they say that Mother had been suppressed in a place where nobody would enter? In that case, how did she know that her mother was still okay?

“Ten years ago, I returned to the Ghost realm and saw her.” Chan Shan said, “She is my daughter. How could I really not find out about her?”

“Then, how is Mother doing now?”

“Her spirit has been dashed quite a bit.” She was talking about the difference in her Mother between the last time she saw her, and the most recent time. “Perhaps it is also because she has become a Mother that she has become more restrained.”

“Then, is she injured? Has she been hurt because of the seal?”

“No. It’s just that she has lost her freedom because she is locked in there. She hasn’t suffered much elsewhere. Your Grandfather changed the seal, so she’s doing alright.”

“Grandfather went there? Didn’t he say that he couldn’t meet Mother?”

At that time, one of the conditions that they had set when her mother was imprisoned was that he was not allowed to rescue her Mother. Didn’t that mean he had violated it?

“He went secretly. He wanted to go there, so the side of the Abyss of Hell also closed one eye.” Chan Shan said, “But he couldn’t do anything about the ancient seal. He could only make it a little easier on her.”

“Grandfather pretends that he doesn’t care for Mother, but he isn’t too bad.” Sima You Yue smiled, “Yin Lin said that only I would be able to rescue Mother. Grandfather said that I would need to gather the Cardinal Points Divine Seal in order to break the seal. That is why I want to go and look for the Cardinal Points Divine Seal.”

“The Cardinal Points Divine Seal is an ancient divine artifact. Based on your current strength, you have no way to utilise its power. You also have no way of getting close to the place where your mother is imprisoned.”

“That is why Grandfather said that he would not tell me where the Cardinal Points Divine Seals are until I break into the rank of Underworld Paragon.” Sima You Yue said, “However, I feel like I have become strong too quickly since I have come to the Ghost Realm. My realm cannot keep up. Right now, I want to properly stabilise myself. I initially wanted to focus on cultivating, but I ended up in this area by accident.”

“Tell me, what have you gone through since coming to the Ghost Realm?”

Sima You Yue told her about all the things she had gone through. She had become this powerful in the short span of ten years, which was really too fast.

Chan Shan smiled when she heard about her adventures, “It is really a little quick. After all, it is your Ancestor’s underworld power, so it is a lot quicker than most. Furthermore, when you were in the human realm, your strength had not reached its peak. Your realm was lacking, which has had a huge impact.”

“I plan to go to the Hidden Sect to learn and stabilise myself.” Sima You Yue said, “If tey are willing to let me enter.”

“Hidden Sect… it isn’t a bad place.” Chan Shan knew about the hidden sects as well, “It seems like you have already planned what you want to do in the future. You are truly as they describe you to be, you have strong views and plans.”

“I had my reservations before, thinking that Mother would be imprisoned for a longer time if I did this. Knowing now that she is not suffering there, I can rest assured and go.” Sima You Yue said.

“I will arrange for people to protect you from the shadows.”

Sima You Yue wanted to tell her that it wasn’t necessary, but figured that it wouldn’t be possible. Since they knew that she had awakened such a powerful bloodline, the Ninth Underworld Clan wouldn’t possibly stand by without doing anything.

“Stay in the clan for a while.”

“Alright.”

The duo stood on the mountain peak, and the initially quiet Ninth Underworld Mountain started to become lively. One could even hear cheers, it seemed like they had found out about Sima You Yue.

“It has been a long time since the clan has been this lively.” Chan Shan said, ‘You have brought new life to everyone.”

“I almost thought that everyone was as aloof as the Right Emissary!” Sima You Yue teased.

“Chan Jiu cannot go to that place, he can only remain here to protect the Ninth Underworld Mountain. He doesn’t usually interact with others. That is why his personality is rather cold.” Chan Shan said, “Actually, he was a lot more carefree before.”

“It’s no wonder I feel like his personality is arrogant but warm.’ Sima You Yue laughed.

“Let’s go, they’re all here. We’ll head down to greet them.” Chan Shan said.

“Alright.” Sima You Yue followed her down the mountain. Before she met her clan members, she suddenly asked, “Grandmother, can we go to the continent above from the Ninth Underworld Mountain?”

“There is. But this route can only be taken by you alone. Those without the bloodline of the black lotus have no way of passing.” Chan Shan said, “If the others wish to go, then the male by your side can. He is someone from that place.”
