Chapter 1070: Eternal Fate Reunited

Qin Luoyin?! How could he not recognize her? Seeing her here made Chu Feng almost disbelieve his own eyes, a sense of unreality washing over him.

Inside the golden spatial rift, other scenes became increasingly vivid and clear. Behind the stone table with the scriptures, life flourished. Peach blossoms bloomed there, covering the trees in pink—a true peach blossom spring.

Qin Luoyin stood amidst the falling petals of the peach forest, her graceful bearing captivating. With a radiant smile, the entire sea of peach blossoms seemed to brighten, her beauty enough to enchant a city.

"Is that you?" Chu Feng's body stiffened, his mind in turmoil, yet he maintained a degree of rationality. Qin Luoyin shouldn't be here.

Back then, those old acquaintances shared a talisman for reincarnation; he wasn't sure if it completed successfully. Even if it did, they wouldn't have grown so quickly; they should be just a few years old. What he saw now was a young woman, brimming with youthful vitality, whose age simply didn't match.

Chu Feng sighed softly. Whatever the reason, seeing her here brought a pang to his heart. Before she died, Chu Feng had promised to protect their child, but the little Daoist priest had resolutely chosen reincarnation instead. Their child was gone, and he had failed to keep his promise.

"Dream Ancient Path, this is the land of the Great Dream inheritance. Is this a manifestation of some part of my dream now?" Chu Feng looked at the exceptionally graceful woman, his spirits sinking.

She was even more exquisite and flawless than the Qin Luoyin he remembered. As her colorful skirt swayed, every movement, every gesture, exuded elegance and nobility.

The Nine Nether Remnant spoke with a sigh of melancholy: "Alas, I never thought I'd meet an old acquaintance here, and it's you! And now, I'm at my lowest point. How can I bear such a reunion?"

Chu Feng was surprised. Could it also see Qin Luoyin? "You're hallucinating," Chu Feng warned.

The Nine Nether Remnant, clearly annoyed, retorted, "Kid, what are you talking about? That's not an illusion! Do you even know who she is?"

"The mother of my child," Chu Feng replied coolly and indifferently. He figured that even if he said so, the other party wouldn't believe it, and it wouldn't expose anything.

Hearing this, the Nine Nether Remnant flew into a rage, its stone coffin shaking violently. Angrily, it declared, "That's not a funny joke at all. Just shut up!"

Seeing its agitation, Chu Feng was somewhat taken aback.

The Nine Nether Remnant growled, "She's my dream lover! Please don't blaspheme her!"

Chu Feng: "..." He opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word. It felt as if he had swallowed a dead rat, choked and disgusted.

But soon, he erupted in anger. This old geezer was truly looking for death, tired of living? How dare it spout such nonsense! It was outrageous! However, he considered that perhaps they were seeing different figures, as this was the Great Dream Pure Land ruin, and fragmented dreams manifested differently for each person.

Yet, the Nine Nether Remnant did something that convinced Chu Feng they were indeed seeing the same person, with no misunderstanding. From the stone coffin, wisps of blood mist emanated, and the Nine Nether Remnant used its vital energy to sketch a portrait. It was indeed Qin Luoyin, peerlessly elegant and outstanding.

"Fairy, I once painted three thousand portraits of you, all carefully preserved and buried across the Yang Realm. I'll never forget this life." Upon hearing these words, Chu Feng could no longer bear it. He rushed forward, grabbed the stone coffin, and began to thrash it around. "You old geezer, you foolish specter! How dare you challenge my bottom line and blaspheme the mother of my child! I'll beat you to death, you old bastard!" If he could have dragged it out of the coffin, Chu Feng would have certainly given its true form a severe beating.

Without a doubt, the Nine Nether Remnant in the stone coffin was completely bewildered, having no idea what was happening. It only regained its senses after being thrown around and rolling away, then exploded in fury.

"What the hell are you doing?! What kind of madness is this? You're going to control me reminiscing about a beauty from the past? How dare you be so overbearing? I'll fight you!" It was exasperated, shaking the stone coffin as if to unleash a torrent of blood mist. However, none of this affected Chu Feng. He wore dragon-scale armor forged with reincarnation earth, which naturally countered the Nine Nether Remnant, rendering its methods ineffective against him.

Chu Feng chastised it, but seeing its agitation and indignation, he also sensed something unusual. Could he have truly misunderstood something? "Are you sure you know this woman?" he asked.

The Nine Nether Remnant, seething with rage, replied, "Nonsense! Just ask any ancient cultivator from the prehistoric era; no one doesn't know her. She's the foremost beauty of the Yang Realm!"

Damn! This time, it was Chu Feng's turn to stare blankly, lost in thought. He looked again, more closely, and indeed noticed some irregularities. No wonder this woman was more exquisite than Qin Luoyin. Were they not the same person? But they were so incredibly similar, even their dressing preferences were the same, and their style and aura were alike. However, this woman possessed even greater charm and confidence; her bright eyes were full of spirit, and her beauty radiated an inner transcendence and certainty, indicating a powerful mind.

It seemed he had misunderstood. At the same time, Chu Feng was certain that the woman in the golden rift was formed from energy, a mere imprint. He had earlier mistaken her for Qin Luoyin due to preconceived notions, losing his composure, and being struck by a tender spot in his heart, which stirred up his sorrowful emotions, leading to all sorts of misjudgments. But why were they so similar? Even their bearing and temperament were strikingly alike, and both were disciples of the Great Dream Pure Land, making Chu Feng feel it was too much of a coincidence.

"I already know that you are no longer in this world, but I firmly believe you will reincarnate, and one day we will meet again!" Just then, the Nine Nether Remnant's soft whisper struck Chu Feng like a bolt of lightning. At that moment, Chu Feng's heart jolted, and he was startled awake. Could it be that Qin Luoyin was once the reincarnation of this very woman?

Long ago, he didn't believe in reincarnation or its existence. But having experienced it himself, how could he deny it now? Even if that path of reincarnation appeared to be artificially arranged rather than naturally formed by heaven and earth, its effect was the same for a small number of individuals. It might not allow all beings to pass on, but certain cultivators could definitely take that path.

Chu Feng said, "Tell me about the past of the foremost beauty of the Yang Realm."

"What good would telling you do? You're just a young lad, separated by eons. Can you still champion her cause and risk your life to save her?" The Nine Nether Remnant sneered. Millennia had passed, time was ruthless, and even the Dream Ancient Path had been destroyed. There was no need to dwell on it; the foremost beauty of the Yang Realm from back then must have perished long ago, it was impossible for her to still be alive.

The Nine Nether Remnant added, with admiration and a hint of boasting, as if it too felt honored and relived a splendid era: "Do you know how powerful and astonishing she was back then? She was the youngest Celestial Venerable in the Yang Realm, hailed as one of the most incredible geniuses in history!"

Chu Feng was indeed stunned. The prehistoric woman he saw was already a Celestial Venerable very early on?! So powerful, so astonishing—she was certainly no ordinary person, possessing extraordinary qualities that were difficult to surpass. This was a mighty genius from ancient history. At the same time, this made Chu Feng's heart stir. Such a person might indeed have the possibility of reincarnation. An identical Qin Luoyin had appeared in the Lesser Underworld, and she was a disciple of the Great Dream Pure Land. Could there be a connection?

"How tragic. The beauty is gone, a wisp of her soul entered the painting. Will we ever meet again?" The Nine Nether Remnant gazed at the young woman's figure in that small realm, reminiscing.

"Wait a minute, I remember now," Chu Feng interjected, interrupting its state of deep nostalgic recollection. Chu Feng clearly recalled that half a year ago, when two reincarnation hunters interrogated it on Thunder-Struck Mountain, this Nine Nether Remnant confessed to embarrassing incidents like secretly watching its senior sister bathe at the age of four. At the same time, it also mentioned that its sworn brother married the third most beautiful woman in the Yang Realm, and out of temporary envy and jealousy, it tried to abduct the foremost beauty of the Yang Realm. The result... it didn't succeed; instead, it got a severe beating.

This old fellow, with its nostalgic demeanor, actually had absolutely no real connection to her. At best, it was an unrequited infatuation that ended in a beating for trying to force things. Chu Feng mercilessly exposed its past, recounting its own confession from Thunder-Struck Mountain.

The Nine Nether Remnant, red with embarrassment and anger, retorted, "Mind your own business! Who hasn't had youthful impulses? I admired her, I liked her—that's all it was!"

Chu Feng was speechless. What kind of situation was this? If Qin Luoyin reappeared one day, and if she truly was the reincarnation of that so-called foremost beauty of yesteryear, would this old geezer shamelessly try to cozy up to her?

"Alright, kid, stop asking so many questions. The most astonishing genius beauty from prehistoric times has nothing to do with you. Even if she reappears, you can't compete with me. I'll appear before her in my most powerful and youthful form. You're just a little kid, no bigger than a bean; don't even think about it."

Hearing such words, Chu Feng genuinely felt an urge to hit someone. This old geezer had inexplicably appeared and was meddling, making him want to kick it to the ends of the earth!

"I'm warning you, that's the mother of my child! Get as far away from me as possible!"

"What do you mean, kid? How old are you, obsessed with women already, and trying to compete with this old man for a soulmate? Do you want to become the greatest pervert in history?"

"Go to hell!"

Chu Feng kicked the stone coffin away.

At that moment, a mechanical voice emanated from the golden void rift. It was the inheritance imprint of the place, speaking directly to the young woman. "Catastrophe arrived, and the Ancestral Master was powerless to protect you. We sent a wisp of your soul into the Grand Void, your lifelong talents merged into a scroll. After countless ages of tempering, a glimmer of hope for rebirth remained. When you reappear in the Yang Realm, and this place opens, your ingrained talent will be restored, allowing you to manifest as the most powerful and gifted body once more."

It actually said such things! Then, the young woman in the peach forest shattered, turning into fragments that flew out and then instantly vanished.

"That so-called Grand Void must be the Ultimate Treasure of the Yang Realm, the Grand Void Tower, rumored to be in the Fifth Forbidden Land. It was tempered by it for countless ages, holding a glimmer of hope for reincarnation?!" The Nine Nether Remnant was shocked, then utterly thrilled. It said with a trembling voice, "I should... not have misread that. Heavens, she has truly appeared, manifesting in the Yang Realm again, and it was I who inadvertently opened this place today, releasing her past ingrained talent! I will complete her. This... this is truly fate."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng kicked the stone coffin three somersaults away. His body trembled slightly, filled with both joy and... a sense of dread.
