Chapter 181: Next Time I Want To Fall In Love, I’ll Cultivate The Ruthless Path
Not only did Dong Fuyu not see Ming Zhaoshuang’s move, but even the System couldn’t help but be surprised.
She said, “No, Host, when did you prepare a backup plan? You scared me to death.”
She was so scared that she thought her System life was in danger.
She didn’t expect Ming Zhaoshuang to pull a move that caught Dong Fuyu off guard.
Most importantly, if the System remembered correctly, instantaneous movement talismans generally do not specify a precise location; they can only determine a general direction. Wei Shuo had previously tricked her unfortunate teammates quite a few times because of this.
As a result, Ming Zhaoshuang was able to land steadily at the teleportation array where they had initially entered.
This was truly astonishing.
As Ming Zhaoshuang activated the teleportation array, she said, “Talismans and array arts are fundamentally the same. Since teleportation arrays can fix two ends for transportation, why can’t talismans?”
She had long been considering how to improve the drawbacks of some talismans. For example, the inability to specify a location for instantaneous movement talismans was truly troublesome.
Moreover, she had been contemplating how to create formations from talismans, so she naturally had to draw inspiration from both. While modifying the drawbacks of instantaneous movement talismans, she had already considered teleportation arrays.
Teleportation arrays can fix both ends; why can’t instantaneous movement talismans?
Or rather, why can’t teleportation talismans?
Therefore, in her free time, she often made revisions and drawings, eventually transforming the instantaneous movement talisman into a teleportation talisman. Although the drawbacks still existed, it could at least be fixed to a specific point.
That’s why she drew an instantaneous movement talisman in the snowy ground of the teleportation array at the beginning.
Because she had long anticipated that she would be cornered.
Talisman and Sword Dual Cultivation is too rare, so they wouldn’t pay attention to this point of hers. Therefore, returning would essentially be no problem for her.
If there was a problem, then she’d just be unlucky!
Ming Zhaoshuang did not deny that there was an element of gambling involved, but she dared to gamble!
After all, if you don’t gamble when you’re young, you’ll only be able to gamble with a cane when you’re old.
A spiritual light flashed, and Ming Zhaoshuang’s figure disappeared into the snowy ground.
Upon opening her eyes again, all that remained before her was the teleportation array she had drawn, emitting a faint glow on the snowy ground.
Ming Zhaoshuang didn’t know how long Wei Shuo’s teleportation array could last. Anyway, her teleportation array would likely be scrapped after two or three uses.
She raised her sword, spiritual flow rustling, and directly destroyed the formation.
The System asked in confusion, “Your teleportation array should still be usable two more times. Destroying it like this is too wasteful.”
After all, it took her a whole night to create a teleportation array.
Ming Zhaoshuang said, “It must be destroyed even if it’s wasteful. Teleportation arrays are reciprocal. We can teleport from here to the teleportation array in Rim of Dusk, and Rim of Dusk can definitely come here through that teleportation array.”
She couldn’t leave any future troubles.
The System said, “Aren’t you going there anymore?”
Ming Zhaoshuang said, “There’s no need to go. They won’t tell me.”
Most importantly, she already knew her origins.
Ming Chenxing had mentioned before that in Rim of Dusk, no one’s status would be higher than hers except for the “Palace Master,” and the “Palace Master” specifically stated that they wouldn’t tell her anything before Deity Transformation.
In Ming Chenxing’s words, the “Palace Master” was clearly not a villain.
But obviously, the current Palace Master, Dong Fuyu, did not like him and even wanted to imprison her with a Golden Silk Talisman, which meant the Palace Master Ming Chenxing spoke of was not Dong Fuyu.
Dong Fuyu also said that if she met the Great Elder, she would get the truth.
From this, it can be seen that Dong Fuyu and the Great Elder are not on the same side. It is highly likely that the Great Elder is related to Ming Chenxing, and Ming Chenxing came for her.
Most importantly, she is a Sword Cultivator.
She is a Sword Cultivator, so why would there be regret?
Ming Cangsheng is also a Sword Cultivator, which means it’s not Ming Cangsheng’s fault at all!
Besides her mother, she also has a father. Her mother has no connection to Rim of Dusk, and her blood can break Sang Biao’s seal, which indicates her father is closely related to Rim of Dusk.
The reason she regrets being a Sword Cultivator is that her father is a Big Shot in Talisman Arts!
And a Big Shot among Big Shots!
With this guess, there’s nothing left to not understand. The Palace Master Ming Chenxing spoke of, besides being the current Palace Master of Rim of Dusk, Dong Fuyu, could also be the Former Palace Master of Rim of Dusk, Zhen Hanliu.
Zhen Hanliu also happens to be the one who sealed Sang Biao; it all fits.
So in the end, she directly stated that she was the daughter of the former Palace Master, and Dong Fuyu did not refute it.
Although Ming Zhaoshuang still doesn’t understand what her biological parents did, or why she was missing an arm at first, she has understood most of it during this trip.
At least she knows who her parents are.
Ming Zhaoshuang said, “System, with your Big Data, don’t you know who my parents are?”
The System said, “My Big Data hasn’t been updated in a long time. I can only know about some older matters and the plot content of the original book.”
The worst part is that not only is Ming Zhaoshuang forgetting the plot content of the original book, but she is also forgetting it.
However, after this trip, the System has a rough understanding of Ming Zhaoshuang’s identity.
She is a high-intelligence System. Ming Zhaoshuang’s words just now were clearly stated, so how could she not understand.
The System said, “Zhen Hanliu is obsessed with talisman formations, cold and ruthless. Even Wei Shuo worries if he will die alone. Of course, his talent is undeniable; he has a Supreme Ice Spirit Root, a half-step Acquired Spiritual Attunement Body, and became a Tribulation Crossing in the Talisman Arts path within five thousand years.”
“Although not comparable to Wei Shuo, he is certainly fine compared to others.”
The cultivation speed of the other Five Paths is definitely not comparable to Sword Cultivators, so five thousand years is considered a Heavenly Prodigy among Heavenly Prodigies.
It can even be said to be on par with Innate Spirit Roots and Spiritually Connected Sacred Bodies.
Ming Zhaoshuang said, “Supreme Ice Spirit Root, and he can draw talismans; it should be correct.”
The System was speechless. “To be honest, if it weren’t for the great commotion he made entering the Dragon Domain, I wouldn’t have dared to believe he would go to the Dragon Domain for a woman.”
According to the System’s outdated Big Data, Zhen Hanliu cultivated the Ruthless Path, and not like Ming Zhaoxue who was forced to cultivate the Ruthless Path, but a Ruthless Path he chose himself.
Therefore, upon hearing that he entered the Dragon Domain to find his wife, the System was not entirely convinced.
Now she has come to believe it.
After all, Ming Zhaoshuang is already so old; whether she believed it or not, she had to.
It’s just that she doesn’t know what happened between Zhen Hanliu and Ming Cangsheng that caused one to lose all cultivation and the other to be trapped in the Dragon Domain.
Originally, upon seeing the rune that sealed Mimi, the System thought it was a rune from Rim of Dusk. Ming Zhaoshuang was the Saintess of Rim of Dusk in the original book, so it was natural to let her try it.
Unexpectedly, it actually succeeded.
She didn’t expect Ming Zhaoshuang to be Zhen Hanliu’s biological daughter.
As expected, the Ruthless Path has no graduates.
Next time you want to fall in love, just cultivate the Ruthless Path; it’s a guaranteed way to find a partner.
