Regardless of men, women, old, or young, everyone looked up, looking toward the direction of the Southern Domain, as if faintly smelling the grief, making everyone's expressions confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't know which night, a wisp of breeze passed by, taking away Qin Yu, and he disappeared without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people of Great Chu all performed their duties, busy for a day, and returned to their rooms to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night, gradually entering late night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yu left the Hengyue Sect, stood at the very edge of Hengyue, looking up at the night sky. His figure also blurred, dissipating inch by inch, until he turned into flying ash, merging into the illusion, his body had disintegrated inch by inch, until he vanished into smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, that wisp of breeze still drifted over, blowing away Qin Yu, and also taking away Qin Yu's primordial spirit true fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the owner of that wisp of breeze was none other than Ximen Wudi. He had already woken up, but his expression was dazed. In his mind, segments of memories, segments of sealed memories, were restarting bit by bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His memory was still recovering. In his memory, there were Qin Yu, Zhuge Yu, and Zhuge Xuan, and one after another familiar figures, appearing one after another, making his heart ache, making his torn soul feel unbearable pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daddy.\" A childish voice sounded, carrying timidity, and also quite sensible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi raised his eyes and saw a chubby child running over, fluttering his pitch-black big eyes, looking at him with a grin, looking just like a little treasure. Those chubby little hands hugged his leg, \"Daddy, Mommy is calling you to eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi squatted down, held his little hand, looked at the door, looked at the woman. Her face was haggard, her beautiful eyes hazy, walking over step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi smiled, and as he smiled, his eyes were covered with tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two lines of crystal clear tears slowly flowed out of his eye sockets, flowing down his face. He choked, not saying a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That woman also cried, hugged him, and the tears stained his clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her husband also followed, took the child from his wife's arms, and patted his back kindly and gently, \"Your daddy is exhausted, he needs to sleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm hm.\" The little baby nodded, exceptionally well-behaved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\" After a long time, Ximen Wudi wiped away his tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father said, our family of three, never separate.\" The man smiled gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi was silent, still squatting, looking at the little baby's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze, intertwined with the little baby's gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little baby blinked his eyes, smiling and asking, \"Brother, why are you crying?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... nothing.\" Ximen Wudi coughed dryly, wiping away his tears, \"I'm happy, too excited. Our family's little baby is really handsome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\" The little baby grinned, revealing snow-white teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\" Ximen Wudi smiled, rubbing his head, and glanced at the man again. At this glance, his brows furrowed tightly, always feeling a strange familiarity. He was seeing this person for the second time, but he didn't know him, but in the dark, he could conclude that he knew that person, just because that person was surrounded by a strange power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That power was extremely domineering. Even though he had rich experience, he hadn't seen through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He guessed that person must be an Imperial Weapon spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this Imperial Weapon spirit had once followed Donghuang Taixin, or rather, had once followed the Profound Desolate Great Emperor. Now, it had become Qin Yu's spirit, one fate accompanying, one fate fighting, the mission of a lifetime, all because of this Imperial Weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the little friend is willing, I will give you a fortune.\" Suddenly, an ethereal voice sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ximen Wudi raised his head abruptly, looking over through layers of time and space. But he saw a beautiful figure manifesting. Looking closely, it was none other than the first spirit under the Imperial Venerable—Zi Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What I was waiting for was this sentence from the senior.\" Ximen Wudi stood up abruptly, bowing respectfully. His respect for Zi Xuan came from his heart. If not for Zi Xuan's gift, he would have already turned into flying ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since I have found you, then help me get out of trouble!\" Zi Xuan smiled, her smile peerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, rest assured, when I step into the Imperial Realm, I will definitely save you.\" Ximen Wudi said firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\" Zi Xuan smiled, flicked her hand to take a crystal clear jade bracelet, and stuffed it into Ximen Wudi's hand, \"You are the last Sacred Body of the Profound Desolate Continent, you should be qualified to hold the Imperial Weapon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...\" Ximen Wudi was confused, but was fiercely attracted by the jade bracelet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This jade bracelet, he was no stranger to it. It was the token of the Great Chu Imperial Family, the Imperial Weapon belonging to Great Chu, and also the Great Chu's town-state divine artifact: Profound Desolate Imperial Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, that Imperial Sword was struck by lightning and had already been destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the years, Ximen Wudi had searched all over the ancient stars, and also searched all over the mortal world, but had gained nothing. It wasn't that he didn't have the ability to find it, but that the Profound Desolate Imperial Sword had already turned into robbery ash, leaving no trace. Unless someone repaired the incompleteness of the Imperial Sword, it would be difficult to find it. This was also the terror of the Profound Desolate Imperial Sword. Even if only a wisp of sword spirit remained, it could still resolve the Great Reincarnation Heavenly Dao. Just this point was enough to be heaven-defying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It will help you, help you ascend to the Great Chu Imperial Throne.\" Zi Xuan whispered, \"It is more powerful than the former Xuanyuan Sword, and your cultivation will definitely be able to reach the quasi-Imperial peak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi held the jade bracelet with both hands like a treasure, not daring to use brute force, for fear of damaging the jade bracelet. After all, it was one of the inheritances of Great Chu, the spirit cast from the fragments of the Imperial Weapon. How could he bear to damage it? Its value could be called heaven-defying. With it protecting, even if the Great Reincarnation Heavenly Dao went out of control, it wouldn't hurt the little baby and his parents. Their lives were already protected by the jade bracelet. This was also because of the Imperial Venerable, who set up a barrier for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi collected his thoughts, looked at the sky, it was already dusk, it was time to go. Tomorrow morning, he would leave Great Chu, go to Profound Desolate, look for the reincarnated people. During this period, he couldn't stop, couldn't delay for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... want to see the child again, can I... later.\" Ximen Wudi smiled vicissitudinously. Although the words were plain, the tone contained hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His son, his wife, his child, he wanted to see more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\" The woman smiled, handed over the child, and looked at Ximen Wudi with a smile, \"Don't forget, my name is Qin Yu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I remember.\" Ximen Wudi smiled with bitterness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little baby grinned, waved his little hand to say goodbye, and left jumping and hopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he left, Ximen Wudi didn't move his feet, just stared at the distance. The little baby's departure tugged at his heart. Every time he remembered it, he couldn't help but shed tears. A four-year-old child, still ignorant, had already lost his mother's love. The grievances of his parents involved too much blood and sin, implicating him. So young, he was forced to leave his hometown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't hate you.\" Ximen Wudi muttered to himself, his eyes still depicting blood and tears. Even if there were monstrous grievances, he couldn't do it, to kill an infant. Moreover, he didn't know those things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a human, not a beast, and also a father. Even if he couldn't forgive himself, he didn't want to hurt an innocent person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The little baby has grown up, your worry, after all, is superfluous.\" To the side, the woman whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi wiped away his tears, smiled, and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, he turned and walked into the black hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night fell, and his figure had already landed in the nine heavens, standing on the peak of Profound Heaven, looking into the depths of the firmament, his expression dazed, as if gazing at Great Chu from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were somewhat lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once upon a time, he thought he was dead for sure. Who would have thought he would come back to life, and be so lucky, meeting Donghuang Taixin, Emperor Immortal, and Emperor Jue in the Heavens; meeting Hongchen Liudao and the Little Ape Emperor in the Netherworld Continent; and now, coming to the Profound Desolate Continent, meeting Qin Yu's mother, and having the opportunity to find an Emperor weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know when his fate and karma would end, and even less when his life would see the dawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he firmly believed that his destiny would eventually have an end, and that end would be the reincarnation of Great Chu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you?\" Suddenly, he heard such a childish voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, he raised his eyes abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming into view, he saw a stone tablet, and under the tablet sat a child, about three or five years old, with two ram-horn braids, round eyes sparkling with clear light, very handsome, wearing a fur coat, looking quite cute, raising his head to look at the illusory Ximen Wudi, a picture of a curious baby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi's eyes became hot, staring fixedly at the child. That little face was somewhat like Ye Ling's, especially those big eyes, which were exactly the same as his. He could be sure that this was the crystallization of him and Ling Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is my child, the crystallization of Daddy and Mommy. Daddy, hug me.\" The little baby ran over, raising his little head, looking at Ximen Wudi with hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Ximen Wudi could speak, the little baby had already climbed up, throwing himself into Ximen Wudi's arms, his little arms hugging Ximen Wudi's neck, his little face buried in Ximen Wudi's shoulder, crying \"wa-wu,\" perhaps out of grievance, perhaps out of excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Child, I am your father. What is your name?\" Ximen Wudi squatted down, stroking his chubby little face while smiling gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is... Ye Fan.\" The little guy said in a milky voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ximen Wudi smiled, his smile very gratified. A big name made him understand instantly that this should be the surname of him and Ling Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His smile became more and more kind, and more and more warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan, a very beautiful name, with a very good meaning, implying that he was Ximen Wudi's eighth child, which was also the child of him and Ji Ningshuang, implying that Ye Fan was destined to be extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This smile of his drew a soft smile from the woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was also a woman with a story, in green clothes, standing quietly in the void, watching this scene quietly, a touch of tenderness appearing in her eyes. It could be seen that he and that human woman were close friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are also called Ji Ningshuang.\" Ximen Wudi murmured, as if he could see the woman across thousands of feet, and as if he could feel her concern for him. It was a relationship of mutual sympathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is your name?\" The little guy raised his little head, a pair of dark big eyes shining brightly, looking at Ximen Wudi curiously. \"Are you really my daddy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it's me. My name is Ximen Wudi.\" Ximen Wudi smiled gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye Fan, I like this name.\" The little guy chuckled, his little hands clutching Ximen Wudi's lapels, rubbing and rubbing, his little mouth babbling, saying all kinds of innocent childish words, just like a little chatterbox. Not only the name, but even the personality was exactly the same as Ximen Wudi's, babbling and chattering all the way, every sentence very novel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman landed gracefully, took out a wine pot, and poured a cup of wine for Ximen Wudi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi picked it up, took a light sip, and put the wine pot down. This pot of strong liquor, although strong, was strong with flavor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not used to drinking it?\" The woman asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strong liquor down the throat, the taste isn't great.\" Ximen Wudi laughed, took out his storage bag, and handed it to the woman. Inside were many pills, some for healing, some for replenishing essence, all pills refined at the Jade Pool Feast back then. Coming to the Profound Desolate this time, he brought a batch along and gave it to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you!\" The woman smiled beautifully, then took out a pitch-black jade slip and suspended it in mid-air. \"This ancient jade slip is a sound-transmission talisman. When you need my help, crush it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I owe you a favor.\" The woman smiled lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>",2200,"2026-06-15T03:02:23.300Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","c0636c5dacbbd4f08b86f48b7fb2c01ba7486a10dcb88ebf7cb8ca7dfd7a5e10","wuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-chapter-1266","wuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-chapter-1264",1409,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-cover.jpg"]
