The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 915: The Ancient Gossip from Ten Thousand Years Ago

Yun Yubai’s heart was in turmoil. He had always known he was found by villagers and had long wondered who his biological parents were. Hearing this, he became even more confused and finally asked, "Elder Qing Feng, what do you mean by this? Could it be... could it be that my father is still alive?"

Qing Feng shook his head, "No, but in Jialan’s library, there is a painting of Celestial Emperor Yining, along with many of his personally written texts and chess scores."

Every major sect has its own library, and they don’t easily lend their collections. Some of the most profound and important works are off-limits to ordinary disciples. The fact that Celestial Emperor Yining’s collection is housed in Jialan explains why people like Cinian haven’t heard of him.

Qiao Nanyi didn’t believe it, saying, "I once read Celestial Emperor Yining’s chess scores, and from them, it’s clear he had a clear mind and a firm Dao heart. Crimson Nine Lands, even if Celestial Emperor Yining has passed away, you can’t slander him like this."

Bai Hao also chimed in, "Exactly, someone from the Celestial Emperor Realm wouldn’t be so foolish, entangling with Asura Princess and fathering a child!"

Cinian slightly nodded, "Indeed, Yun Yubai is only about a thousand years old, so the timeline doesn’t add up."

Crimson Nine Lands was also baffled but continued firmly, "He is! He looks very much like Yun Jianchu, that Asura Princess. When the immortals discovered it back then, they even tested his bloodline! And Celestial Emperor Yining acknowledged it—he had been with Asura Princess and produced a bloodline!"

"I was also puzzled. Back then, Celestial Emperor Yining personally killed him to give the immortals an explanation. I saw it with my own eyes, along with my master! But now, he’s still alive!"

"Master, I swear I am not lying!"

He pulled on Chu Yang’s sleeve as he finished.

Siheng had heard from Nanli that Celestial Emperor Yining had nearly exhausted his spiritual power before asking her to seal the Demon Domain. Seeing her calm expression, it seemed Crimson Nine Lands’ words were indeed true.

No wonder Crimson Nine Lands had been so harsh and hostile toward the Demon Clan. Before the Demon Domain was sealed, the Demon Clan, naturally aggressive and cruel, kept instigating wars, showing no mercy to immortals, cultivators, or even powerless mortals. The war had never ceased until this past ten thousand years, when it finally settled down.

People naturally loved gossip. Whether it’s near or far, they loved hearing it.

Bai Hao blinked and immediately turned to Nanli, "I suppose Nanli Divine Sovereign knows this best."

Nanli answered directly, "I don’t know about what Crimson Nine Lands is saying."

However, she had already heard Yun Jianchu’s version of the story. But she would never speak of it in front of everyone.

To her, people from the Demon Clan could be both good and bad. As long as Yun Jianchu hadn’t harmed anyone, she wouldn’t let him lose even the smallest fragment of his Demon Soul.

Crimson Nine Lands sneered, "Of course, such shameful matters of the Immortal World cannot be known to the Divine Realm! We handled it quietly."

By now, Bai Hao realized he shouldn’t die too early, or he’d miss out on such an exciting story. He coughed dramatically and said, "What exactly happened back then? Crimson Nine Lands, why not tell us all? With so many of us here, we can surely help you clear up your doubts."

Siheng gave him a glance, "This matter involves Celestial Emperor Yining, and it’s not appropriate to discuss it in front of everyone."

Crimson Nine Lands, however, disagreed, "He was one step away from becoming a god. He doesn’t care about his future and is willing to destroy himself, so what’s wrong with speaking about it in front of everyone?"

Chu Yang’s voice became stern, "Control your temper!"

This wasn’t the time for their past behavior. Things couldn’t just proceed like they did in previous lives.

After being scolded by his master, Crimson Nine Lands immediately wilted and sat down, looking dispirited.

Nanli wanted to ask the relevant people to leave, so she could investigate the situation properly. But Yun Yubai suddenly spoke, "You speak."

Everyone was stunned.

Yun Yubai had already gotten up, holding the Vajra Umbrella. He glanced at it for a moment, then raised his gaze, which was now clear and calm. "You can speak. I want to understand why this is happening."

Since the Vajra Umbrella had protected him several times, he knew that he was loved.

Nanli didn’t say anything.

Siheng simply stood by her side. It was clear—whatever his wife wanted, he would support.

Crimson Nine Lands was surprised. "You want me to speak in front of everyone? Don’t regret it!"

"What do I have to regret?" Yun Yubai sneered, "No matter what happens now, it won’t change the fact that I’m of both celestial and demon blood. Since that’s the case, I want to understand everything!"

Crimson Nine Lands was taken aback.

Yun Yubai truly had a few of Celestial Emperor Yining’s characteristics.

Bai Hao quickly started making preparations, "Chairs! Hurry, get some chairs!"

Standing around was exhausting.

Ximen Chuan casually asked, "How about some melon seeds and cakes?"

"If you have them, that would be perfect," Bai Hao said.

Cinian, deep in thought, only frowned as he watched them.

Once everyone had sat down, they allowed Crimson Nine Lands to speak about the past.

This led to a discussion about Celestial Emperor Yining’s incredible abilities. He was originally a royal heir, and back then, in a world full of cultivation sects, even the royal family would send their children to practice cultivation. He wasn’t an exception.

The emperor wanted him to calm down and learn the great ways of the world, but one day, he received a letter from Yining.

After half a year in the sect, Yining had already entered the Base Building stage!

So he gave up his position as royal heir to remain in the sect and continue his cultivation.

The emperor was furious. According to the rules of heaven, once someone entered the Base Building stage, they were not allowed to be involved in worldly affairs, and that included being a royal heir.

But there was still one way out: to destroy Yining’s dantian, turning him into an ordinary mortal.

The emperor led soldiers to the sect to retrieve him, but in the month it took them to get there, Yining had already overcome a lightning tribulation.

There was nothing the emperor could do but let Yining go his way.

From that point on, Yining cut ties with his royal family, and using only his name, he roamed the Immortal World.

A thousand years later, he became an immortal.

Thirty thousand years later, he broke through to the Celestial Emperor Realm.

This was an astonishing speed.

At that time, spiritual energy was abundant, but becoming an immortal was still a monumental challenge, let alone reaching the highest realm of the Celestial Emperor.

Yining was the youngest and most respected in the Immortal World.

He excelled in everything—playing musical instruments, chess, painting, alchemy, talisman writing, and forging weapons.

The reason Crimson Nine Lands both loved and hated Celestial Emperor Yining was that he was also forged by Yining.

Celestial Emperor Yining had three disciples. Yun Jianchu was his last disciple.

But unexpectedly, Yun Jianchu, Asura Princess, took pills to conceal her Asura bloodline and aura and purposely seduced and assassinated Celestial Emperor Yining.

She succeeded.

She killed her two senior brothers, and her identity was exposed.

But Celestial Emperor Yining, infatuated, couldn’t bring himself to kill Yun Jianchu!
