Chapter 219: The Ancestor?
"Will you give me a Dragon Fire?" Tang Yin asked in surprise, and she nodded at him, but instead of giving it to him, she took him by the hand.
"Come with me first." She said and soon disappeared from where she stood next to Tang Yin, appearing in the distance as she headed towards her own home.
She moved at high speeds, and during that time neither of them spoke. Tang Yin because he couldn't and she because she wouldn't.
Tang Yin couldn't even see his surroundings. He had to keep his eyes tightly closed to avoid the air pressure.
And a good while later, they finally stopped, and Tang Yin was finally able to open his eyes.
What greeted him was a beautiful landscape, and just then, the cool air hit his skin as he looked at the beautiful waterfall to the side.
For a moment, he felt stunned by such a drastic change of scenery and looked to the side.
The scenery in this place was undoubtedly beautiful, and had numerous spiritual herbs growing all over the place. The spiritual energy in this place was also incredibly rich, in fact, the very river there was a spiritual river. Made entirely of liquid spiritual energy, and it gave a touch of beauty to everything.
The trees were large and thick, all of them trees that had become spiritual from being exposed to spiritual energy for so long. While there was no undergrowth anywhere.
Everything that grew in this place was spiritual herbs, even the grass.
This was like a beautiful spiritual garden, which had a small wooden house that looked old but sturdy and was decorated in an elegant, but minimalist way.
All of this was located on top of a beautiful mountain.
Tang Yin felt deeply stunned as soon as he saw this and looked from side to side.
"Where is this? It's a wonder for cultivation this place." He said curiously, and Shi Yue smiled and nodded.
"Originally this mountain belonged to my father and mother. It was known as Thunder Monarch Mountain, although it's been a long time since anyone used that name. Now, they call it 'The Core Mountain'." She replied as she recalled the past.
Tang Yin was surprised when he heard this and looked at her in a daze, "Is this the Mountain that is said to belong to the Sect Ancestor?" He asked doubtfully, and she looked at him as if he was a bit of a fool.
"Well, haven't you been talking to that Ancestor? Are you surprised that I brought you to this courtyard when you are the disciple of that 'Ancestor'?" She asked with a smile on her face as she tilted her head slightly, and Tang Yin opened his mouth slightly in surprise.
He always knew that this woman was truly amazing, and her strength was to be feared. Not only is she an Inheritor of Eternal Night, which is one of the most terrifying domains out there for many reasons.
But she also has a very special spiritual weapon, such as those red flowers, perfect for assassination.
She is a true assassin by nature, someone even the assassins of the praised Moon Clan must respect and admire.
For all that, Tang Yin knew that this woman must be amazing, but...
'Is she the Ancestor Meiyu told me about? Wasn't a man?' he thought in shock.
"...I really didn't expect you to be that person. I originally thought the Ancestor was male, didn't they say he was an ancient patriarch?" he replied surprised at the status this beautiful woman held.
Shi Yue shrugged her shoulders when she heard what he said.
"Not many people know that I am still alive. In fact, it's a surprise to many to see me still alive and that's why many people believe that the Ancestor is the Patriarch from 4 generations ago, which was the most powerful after my disappearance.
But no, I am not dead yet and until I die, I will remain the Ancestor Protector of the sect." She replied, and at last, her determination sounded as firm as the oak tree.
Tang Yin then nodded upon hearing this, though his surprise could not be wiped from his face.
'As I recall, the Ancestor is the son of the Founder... Oh, now I understand.' Tang Yin thought, and something lit up in his mind after remembering some things Xie Meiyu had told him that she also didn't understand and also some things the association elder mentioned to him regarding that great war in the past.
'So, the 'protective foundation' that the Founder had reportedly left behind, isn't it a treasure? Is it his daughter, hidden deep within the sect?' He wondered in his mind but didn't dare to say anything else.
"Is that patriarch still alive?" He asked doubtfully, and Shi Yue frowned slightly after hearing this but did not answer.
On the contrary, she walked to the spiritual river passing by.
"'Later you can ask questions. For now, here." She said and tossed him the vial with the Draconic Fire inside.
"Go inside, you will absorb the Draconic Fire in this place." She replied.
Tang Yin looked at her in surprise, "Can I cultivate in the Spiritual River?" He asked in surprise, and she looked up at him to nod.
"Of course, why not?" she asked back.
"Isn't this the same spiritual river that inner disciples can access from time to time? It is reportedly available all the time to central disciples, but I am just an external disciple, am I allowed to enter?" he asked, and Shi Yue said nothing.
She simply waved her hand and threw Tang Yin into the water.
"Boy, you ask a lot of unnecessary questions. Go make that fire yours and don't ask any more questions. I'll be protecting you." She replied as she started walking towards the wooden house.
Tang Yin was surprised when he fell into the water, but he could only smile and focus.
As soon as he fell into the water, he felt how the streams of liquid spiritual energy rushed to him and hit him hard, so if he didn't focus, he might drown.
Therefore, he quickly focused his attention and began to cultivate a little. A while later, a dome of spiritual energy was created around him as he floated lightly on the water.
The spiritual energy dome absorbed the water underneath itself to function without the need for him to do anything, so Tang Yin smiled and finally took out the draconic fire…
