The smile on Gu Yan’er’s face stilled and was replaced by a dignified expression as she said, “Master, I was once a disciple of the Heavenly Emperor Tian Ji, you know about this matter as well. But, back then, I managed to conceal my identity thanks to the Concealer Divine Pearl you gave me. Therefore, even Heavenly Emperor Tian Ji was unable to peep on my real identity from the heaven.
“Similarly, I also used a method to peep on the heavenly secrets and observe those two. At the end of the day, I actually discovered that I couldn’t completely figure out the past of those two, neither was I able to divine their future path. Their heavenly secrets were obscured in darkness. There are only two empty shades, like it’s being shrouded by a faint black mist.”
Tang Xiu slightly knitted his brows. Peeping on the heavenly secrets was not his forte. Although he could occasionally sense and realize something from the heavenly secrets, it was only illusionary fragments.
“What does that mean, Yan’er?”
“Based on what I learned from Heavenly Emperor Tian Ji, there’s two possibilities.” Gu Yan’er said with all seriousness, “The first one is: someone shielded their identities using some special means, like what I did when I entered Heavenly Emperor Tian Ji’s gate. The second one is: those two lack an immortal soul or a mortal soul. Each person has three immortal souls and seven mortal forms, so even if one lacks one immortal soul or a one mortal soul, the divination for this type of person will dissipate in the heavenly secrets itself.”
“They are missing a type of soul, yet they can still live well, and are even able to cultivate an immortal technique?” Tang Xiu was surprised.
“That’s right.” Gu Yan’er said dignifiedly, “Each of three immortal souls and seven mortal souls forms have differents effects. However, I don’t know which type is missing from them, though. I quietly observed them for a long time before I finally discovered that it was not due to missing a type of soul. That’s right, they only have one abnormity.”
“What kind of abnormity?” Tang Xiu asked.
“It’s their blood.” Gu Yan’er said, “Their desire for blood is very strong. It seems they are from a clan who has an innate seed for massacre, possessing an extreme inborn talent for combat senses, and extraordinary savagery in the means of killing. In this regard, they resemble a bit the Asura Clan.”
“How about their present cultivation level?” Tang Xiu asked.
“They are indeed stronger than Xiaoxue, and will soon enter the Immortal Nascent Stage.” Gu Yan’er said.
Tang Xiu was taciturn for a long while. Then, he slowly said, “They seem to have duties outside, no?”
“Yes, Xiaoxue told me about that.” Gu Yan’er said, “They both have been learning through experience abroad. Light has status and is treated as a state guest by more than ten countries. The Queen of England herself has also conferred him with a title of nobility, and he has a very illustrious identity overseas. Apart from us, no one knows that he hails from our Everlasting Feast Hall. As for Dark, she is always hiding in the darkness and is the best assassin in the world’s biggest assassin organization. Xiaoxue summoned them back due to my awakening.”
“Once these two have broken through the Immortal Nascent Stage, their strength will be very terrifying. Apart from Ji Chimei, perhaps no one would be able to contend with them. So, this is the reason why you let them take the time to deal with things abroad, rather than having them stay to cultivate in the exquisite pagoda. Anyways, give me a few more years. I have the confidence to surpass them and make them work for me when the time comes.”
“No problem.” Gu Yan’er nodded and said with a smile, “I’ll take care of it.”
“How did you find them?” Tang Xiu asked.
“I found them in Mt. Everest.” Gu Yan’er said, “Some people were climbing the steepest snow wall of Everest with two children back then. Those six people were martial artists with notable strength. Every one of them had surpassed the level of martial arts grandmaster and were able to sense the ‘Dao’ boundary. These two children are exactly the offspring from the two of them.”
“And then?” Tang Xiu asked.
“I displayed some strength to deter them.” Gu Yan’er said with a smile, “Following which, I imparted them a very low-level cultivation technique and told the couple that I wanted to take the two children as my disciples. I also promised them that after they had fully grown to adulthood, they would then be allowed to return home and meet their relatives.”
“Did they agree?” Tang Xiu asked with astonishment.
“Yes, they agreed.” Gu Yan’er nodded and said, “Moreover, I also told them some major principle and high-sounding talk that their children have a predestined karma to come across an immortal since their childhood, a great fortune. They said a ton of grateful words, but I can tell that what they most cared about was that set of cultivation technique.”
“A cultivation technique to tread on the path to immortality is probably the dream of countless people, to begin with,” Tang Xiu nodded. Forcing a smile, he said, “I dare say that the vast majority of people will abandon their businesses, sacrifice their families, and leave their wives and children should they face such a choice. Hence, they are not to be overly blamed. Then, have you told the two about their parents after they grew up?”
“I told them.” Gu Yan’er nodded and said, “But they said they had no feelings or attachments at all toward their parents, thus, they didn’t want to go back.”
Tang Xiu secretly sighed, “Wait! Wait for my strength to rise in the future, then I’ll persuade them. When all is said and done, the will of people is subject to constant changes. Granted, although those two are thirsty for blood and killing, they might still have a bit of an illusion toward their parents. Let’s wait. Later on, I’ll help them resolve their mental demon.”
“Master, you really value talent more now than in the past.” Gu Yan’er said with a smile.
