"Dad, you know about that thing?" His question was abrupt, but with the prior expressions from the Great Elder, Mu Hanyan quickly caught on to what he was referring to and asked in return. So things were secrets to them but certainly not to the Great Elder and the Family Head.
Mu Rui’an nodded. Mu Hanyan’s counter-question actually served as an answer to his own.
"Dad, who is Mu Tianlie?" Mu Hanyan took out the Life Token, asking with curiosity.
"Have you heard of a legend that thousands of years ago, the Mu Family had an extraordinary genius erge, yet his situation before he made his na was sowhat similar to yours now?"
"I heard it from Fourth Uncle Zi Qing. It was said that he was deed a good-for-nothing by everyone but achieved fa overnight, shocking the Capital with his formidable power, saving the family from life-and-death peril. Thereafter, he t with an unexpected assassination and perished," Mu Hanyan nodded.
It was precisely because Yan Yuchu heard this legend from Mu Ziqing that he realized the danger lurking behind him, resolutely forming an alliance with Mu Hanyan.
"Mu Tianlie was that extraordinary genius," Mu Rui’an said.
"So, it’s him. That ans he has been dead for thousands of years," Mu Hanyan recalled the incredible events and spoke in astonishnt.
Her earlier speculation wasn’t wrong; it was indeed just a remnant thought left by Mu Tianlie after his death. But how could a re remnant thought possess such trendous strength?
"What’s wrong?" Mu Rui’an saw her astonished and confused expression, asking curiously.
"It’s just a bit hard to understand," Mu Hanyan recounted everything that happened in the Treasure Vault to her father.
After listening to her, Mu Rui’an fell into deep contemplation.
"If I’m not mistaken, it should have sothing to do with this Heavenly Destiny Star Plate," Mu Rui’an finally spoke after a long pause.
"The Heavenly Destiny Star Plate?" Mu Hanyan looked at Mu Rui’an in confusion. She had heard of Life Tokens, but the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate was completely unfamiliar.
"Yes, you might think this is a Life Token passed down within our family, but it’s not. According to legend, that ancestor, Mu Tianlie, never concealed his lack of cultivation talent and was truly a cultivation disaster. It wasn’t until he obtained the Star Plate in your hands that his fate dramatically changed. Within one year, he beca a Sword Master, and in three, a Sword Saint. If not for being betrayed, no one knows what Realm he ultimately could have reached.
His injuries weren’t as simple as you’ve heard. Not only were his Heart ridian and ridians severely damaged, but even his ntal State was severely impacted, leading him into madness, often uttering incomprehensible nonsense, like ’The God of Divine Martial descends, traversing heaven and earth,’" Mu Rui’an paused, feeling both admiration and sorrow for that legendary figure from the Mu Family.
"What happened after that?" Mu Hanyan inquired further.
She now understood why the lingering thoughts of Mu Tianlie attacked her so fiercely upon appearing—it turned out his ntal State was already in chaos before his death.
"Afterward, in his final dying monts, he suddenly regained clarity as if the light returned to him one last ti, no longer speaking any bizarre proclamations. He sat in contemplation for three days straight, as if he had beco a different person.
Then, he ordered the construction of a great hall in Heishi City and dismissed everyone else, personally constructing a tomb inside for himself. He left his last words stating that all his cultivation had co from his Heavenly Destiny Star Plate. If soone were to find his tomb and obtain his Heavenly Destiny Star Plate, their achievents would surely be no less than his own."
