Chapter 225: She Will Change This Piece Of History In The Cultivation World! 【 Seeing True Nature 】
The Three Lives Stone was forged by Nuwa, the leader of the Dragon Clan, and is an ancient divine tool, a fact that Ming Zhaoshuang is aware of.
Legend has it that Nuwa created humans from mud and counted them with grains of sand, accumulating them to form the Three Lives Stone.
The Three Lives Stone absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, the creation of heaven and earth, to the point of birthing two divine patterns, divided into three segments, thus possessing the intent to devour heaven, earth, and humanity.
Thus, Nuwa sealed it with a Spirit Binding Talisman. Thinking that after she created humans, the reproduction of the Human Race became a problem, she made the Three Lives Stone in charge of marriage, bestowed it with the divine power of the Three Lives Art, and used the divine patterns as red threads, enabling it to control the karmic destinies of humans across three lifetimes.
Nuwa placed this divine tool by the River of Forgetfulness at the Ghost Gate, and it became a pillar of the Ghost Realm.
It’s just that Ming Zhaoshuang never imagined the Three Lives Stone could be used in this way.
She said: 【 If that’s the case, then the Three Lives Stone shouldn’t exist. 】
She originally thought that inscribing marriages on the Three Lives Stone was a somewhat romantic matter. But if beneath this stone were piled the countless withered bones and layers of vengeful spirits, what purpose would its existence serve?
The System said: 【 But this stone was ultimately formed by heaven and earth, and made by Nuwa, so it fundamentally cannot be destroyed. 】
Ming Zhaoshuang suddenly remembered something and said: 【 When Feng He entered the Underworld, they all said Feng He wanted to engrave her name and Ao Tian’s name on the Three Lives Stone to witness their love, could that also be fake? 】
As soon as she said this, the System was speechless for a long time.
The System coughed lightly: 【 Do you think Feng He is the type of person who cares about her relationship with Ao Tian needing a broken stone to witness it? 】
Ming Zhaoshuang said: 【 When I heard it at the time, I didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. 】
After all, she was accustomed to hearing love stories of beautiful women and talented men, so she felt it was understandable for Feng He to do that.
The System rolled its eyes: 【 I originally… I mean, if Feng He Du Xian had really wanted to engrave a name back then, couldn’t she have just notified Emperor Fengdu directly? She was already at the Mahayana cultivation level then, capable of traversing all Six Realms with ease. Engraving a name wasn’t such a big deal, there would be no reason for Emperor Fengdu to fall out with her over it. 】
Ming Zhaoshuang touched her nose: 【 The world misunderstands me. 】
The System said slowly: 【 Feng He, along with the Five Sages, annihilated the Pure Yin Ground. She was able to slay Tribulation Crossing cultivators while at the Mahayana stage, but she couldn’t do anything to the Three Lives Stone at all. She could only use her Phoenix Clan bloodline and Ao Tian’s Dragon Clan bloodline to suppress it. Little did they know that when their blood dripped onto the Three Lives Stone, it automatically transformed into their names. 】
【 To be blunt, Feng He was a modern person, and Ao Tian was from the Second Generation Divine Race. One didn’t belong to the cultivation world, and the other was born of nature. Therefore, their names weren’t on the Three Lives Stone; it was likely the Three Lives Stone sensing their bloodlines at the time and automatically supplementing them, unrelated to any romantic feelings. 】
In this world, there is not so much romance; what exists is bloody reality.
Ming Zhaoshuang then asked: 【 And then? Just the blood of the Dragon and Phoenix clans couldn’t refine these vengeful energies, right? After all, those vengeful spirits have existed for hundreds of thousands of years, and should be very difficult to suppress. 】
The System continued to say: 【 After sprinkling Phoenix Blood and Dragon Blood, they could initially perceive those vengeful spirits. Next, Talisman Saint Wei Shuo set up the Spirit Cleansing Starlight Array to pacify them, Music Saint Yiqi Huang played the ancient Spirit Cleansing Melody for forty-nine consecutive days to purify them, and finally, with Alchemy Saint Yixu’s Xia Yu Nine Provinces Cauldron and Artificing Saint Ou Ziye’s ultimate fire, they were refined, thus completely eliminating these vengeful spirits. 】
【 Feng He was afraid of any accidents with the Three Lives Stone, so she also had her contracted spirit beast, Diting, remain in the Underworld, guarding the Three Lives Stone. 】
However, with the vengeful spirits gone, the matter of the Pure Yin Maiden remained like a scar hanging in the sky of the Underworld.
Before Feng He Du Xian, few people would have thought the Pure Yin Maiden was not an object.
Although they all felt the method of cultivating Pure Yin Maidens was too evil, no one raised any objections.
After all, they were the beneficiaries, weren’t they?
Sometimes, those who benefit should remain silent, rather than attacking their collective interests under the banner of justice.
This is what they thought, and this is what they did.
But then Feng He appeared and clearly told them that doing so was wrong.
And she destroyed the Pure Yin Ground that had been cultivating Pure Yin Maidens, slayed the initiator of this transaction, and saved thousands of Human Race women trapped in the Pure Yin Ground.
Like a blazing sun, she exposed all their sins and ugliness.
Would they admit it?
Even though they all knew they were wrong, they would not admit it.
They would only, throughout the long river of history, repeatedly conceal Feng He’s actions and her thoughts, allowing her words and deeds to grow according to their perception of a “normal woman,” never allowing her to step outside of that framework.
Feng He was excellent, leading an era.
But no matter how excellent she was, no matter how much her brilliance could not be hidden, they had their ways of distorting her until she was no longer conspicuous, no longer highlighting their baseness and depravity.
They didn’t mean to deny Feng He’s capabilities; they just wanted Feng He to fit their idea of “a woman’s excellence.”
Therefore, Feng He fighting against heaven meant she was inferior to Ao Tian.
Therefore, Feng He undergoing Marrow Cleansing and Blood Replacement meant she was forming a Dao Companion with Ao Tian.
Therefore, Feng He rescuing the vengeful spirits was to prove how passionately she loved on the Three Lives Stone.
How powerful this was, how it fit their standards.
Therefore, Feng He’s destruction of the Pure Yin Ground was briefly mentioned in the Immortal Calendar of the Cultivation World, while her engraving their names with Ao Tian on the Three Lives Stone was meticulously described, passed down as romance, even distorting the truth and completely burying its meaning.
Ming Zhaoshuang sighed: 【 Feng He did so many things, it’s no wonder she was revered by the entire Cultivation World. 】
The System, however, sighed: 【 Do you think they revered Feng He? No, they revered her friends who were still alive. They held high positions, possessed power, wealth, and influence. It was under their promotion that Feng He could appear in the eyes of the world in such a manner. But as they passed away one by one, most of Feng He’s deeds became unknown or misunderstood. 】
【 Gossip and slander can be overwhelming. Perhaps after tens of thousands of years, Feng He’s evaluation in people’s minds will be that of a woman who relied on men for everything, who was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, and who was uneducated and foolish. 】
Ming Zhaoshuang, however, said: 【 That possibility will not happen. 】
She tightly clenched her sleeves, her jade fingers turning pale: 【 I will make sure that all future generations acknowledge Feng He, and acknowledge those women who were extraordinarily brilliant in the long river of history. They should not be like pearls covered in dust, nor buried by storms. They should lie within the annals of history to be praised by people, even to be recorded in history and their merits celebrated for eternity. 】
She would change this history of the Cultivation World!
