1299: Chapter 1299: Tears of a Lover 1299: Chapter 1299: Tears of a Lover Fang Bai, with a grasp and draw of his palm, generated a strong suction that bound the black threads of the black jade pendant.
With a “pop,” the threads snapped, and along with the black jade pendant, it fell into Fang Bai’s hand.
“This pendant is really pretty!”
Xia Chenyu approached Fang Bai and saw the black jade pendant in his hand, which was crystal clear and emitted a soft black glow, like a night elf, and she felt an indescribable fondness for it.
Fang Bai sat down cross-legged, lifted the black jade pendant with his left hand to the space between his eyebrows, closed his eyes slightly, and seed like an old monk entering ditation, motionless.
Seeing his serious and solemn expression, Xia Chenyu did not understand what was happening and did not dare to disturb him with her voice.
After a long while, Fang Bai finally opened his eyes and looked at the black jade pendant before him.
His expression changed unpredictably and was indescribably strange.
“Fang Bai, are you…
are you okay?”
Xia Chenyu stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Fang Bai’s eyes.
Fang Bai took a deep breath and said, “I’m fine.”
He glanced at Xia Chenyu and asked with a smile, “Do you really like this pendant?”
Xia Chenyu nodded and said, “Mhm, I really do.”
Fang Bai smiled bitterly and said, “If it were an ordinary pendant, I would have given it to you.
But this ‘Lover’s Tear’ is truly extraordinary.
If you wear it, it might bring big trouble.
Better if I keep it for now.”
“Lover’s Tear?”
Xia Chenyu was stunned and pointed at the black jade pendant in Fang Bai’s hand, saying, “Are you talking about this pendant?”
Fang Bai nodded and said, “Yes.
This pendant is indeed called ‘Lover’s Tear’!”
Xia Chenyu exclaid in surprise, “How do you know that?”
Fang Bai gestured towards the mummified corpse and mysteriously said, “Not only do I know the na of this pendant, but I also know the identity of this person.”
Xia Chenyu beca more curious and clung to Fang Bai’s arm, using a coquettish voice, “Fang Bai, stop teasing, tell !
Otherwise, I’ll really start flirting with you!”
Fearing that she might start teasing him again and disturb his cultivation heart, Fang Bai hurriedly said, “Alright alright…
I’ll tell you…
stop ssing around…
um, this mummified corpse is nad Li Chenzhou.
In life, he was an expert of the Innate Realm at the level of perfection…”
Xia Chenyu, upon hearing the words “expert at the perfection level of the Innate Realm,” couldn’t help but stare wide-eyed and speechless, her face full of shock.
If Universe Level Experts are considered the top echelon of the True Martial Realm, then Innate Experts surpass Universe Level Experts as even more powerful beings, with the perfection level of the Innate Realm representing the ultimate pinnacle of the billions of Martial Artists in the entire True Martial Realm.
To Xia Chenyu, ordinary Innate Experts existed only in rumors; she had never had the fortune to et one.
Experts at the perfection level of the Innate Realm were like the stars in the sky, distant and unattainable.
Hearing Fang Bai say that the mummy before them was an expert at the perfection level of the Innate Realm, Xia Chenyu felt a sense of unreality.
Fang Bai continued, “After a Martial Artist’s Cultivation Level reaches the Innate Realm, they will give birth to Divine Sense.
Divine Sense has many marvelous uses, one of which is the ability to store certain information from the brain of the Martial Artist within it, preserving it for a long ti…”
Xia Chenyu, upon hearing this, vaguely understood sothing but did not interrupt Fang Bai, instead listening intently.
“This Li Chenzhou, aware that his life was coming to an end, condensed a strand of his Divine Sense into this ‘Lover’s Tear,’ and also etched a miniature sealing Formation on it to prevent the Divine Sense from dissipating.
Just now I used my Divine Sense to penetrate this ‘Lover’s Tear’ and learned of so of Li Chenzhou’s matters from the sealed Divine Sense…”
At this point, Fang Bai seed to think of sothing and let out a long sigh, “Speaking of which…
Li Chenzhou, though he was unrivaled in strength and without match in his lifeti, was hard by love, a man of deep affection and a tragic fate.
If you think about it, there is actually a roundabout connection between him and !”
Xia Chenyu, upon hearing this, suddenly widened her eyes in surprise, looking back and forth between Fang Bai and the mummy, unable to connect the two.
“This matter is a bit long to tell…”
Fang Bai organized his thoughts, closed his eyes to recall for a mont, and then slowly began to speak, “When I was in the Secular World, I ntioned Zhuge Dingtian to you, do you rember?”
Xia Chenyu said: “Mhm, I rember.
Zhuge Dingtian was a Loose Cultivator Innate Expert from the True Martial Realm who unfortunately perished in the Secular World.
His grave was discovered jointly by you and the Fat Taoist Wu De!
Oh, right, your Blood-Drinking Mad Blade also ca from Zhuge Dingtian’s grave, didn’t it?
And the Xuannv Sect disciple Zhuge Lian that you befriended in this True Martial Realm is Zhuge Dingtian’s daughter…”
The matter of Zhuge Lian was brought up during a casual conversation between Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu while they were en route to the Eternal Death Zone.
Xia Chenyu knew that Fang Bai had once promised in front of Zhuge Dingtian’s remains to find his wife and daughter and take good care of them.
Now his daughter Zhuge Lian has been found, but there was still no news of his wife Zhou Yuruo.
Fang Bai said: “Zhuge Dingtian’s wife, Zhou Yuruo, is the daughter of Zhou Qingyan, the Palace Master of the Innate Sect Ruoshui Palace, and this Li Chenzhou is Zhou Qingyan’s man, which ans he’s also Zhou Yuruo’s biological father…”
Xia Chenyu frowned and said: “Wait a second, this relationship is a bit confusing…
Let think… Hmm, Zhuge Lian is the daughter of Zhuge Dingtian and Zhou Yuruo, Zhou Yuruo is the daughter of the Ruoshui Palace Master Zhou Qingyan, and Li Chenzhou was Zhou Qingyan’s man… Doesn’t this an Zhuge Lian is the granddaughter of Zhou Qingyan and this Li Chenzhou?
But what’s strange is, if Zhou Yuruo is Li Chenzhou’s daughter, why doesn’t she carry the Li surna, but took her mother’s surna instead?
Fang Bai, does the Divine Sense left by Li Chenzhou contain any information about this?”
Fang Bai nodded and said: “According to the information within the Divine Sense, Li Chenzhou and Zhou Qingyan beca Martial Dao partners, and their love was strong.
This ‘Lover’s Tear’ jade pendant was a token of affection that Zhou Qingyan gave to Li Chenzhou.
In pursuit of a longer lifespan for both of them to remain together, Li Chenzhou later set out alone to search for the Teleportation Array into the Cultivation World, known as the ‘Three Thousand Great Worlds’… that is, the Teleportation Array I ntioned to you, intending to continue the path of Martial Dao Cultivation.”
“At that ti, Zhou Qingyan was still a direct disciple of the Ruoshui Palace.
After Li Chenzhou left, she stayed and waited bitterly within the Ruoshui Palace.
Soon after, she discovered she was pregnant and later gave birth to Zhou Yuruo.
Zhou Qingyan waited for decades; her status rose from direct disciple step by step, eventually inheriting the position of Palace Master.
However, the Li Chenzhou she waited for so bitterly never returned, without any news.”
“When Li Chenzhou left that year, he infused a strand of his Divine Sense into a jade token and handed it to Zhou Qingyan, telling her that as long as the jade token remained intact, it would an that he was still alive.
During the decades Zhou Qingyan waited for Li Chenzhou, seeing that the jade token never shattered, she assud that Li Chenzhou was alive but unwilling to see her, probably heartless and had abandoned her.
Love turned into hate, and she allowed her daughter to carry her own surna…”
