The Daughter Of Destiny Broke Off The Engagement? I Married Her Sister Instead.

"Wait, my master is still alive?"

Upon hearing this news, it resounded like thunder in the ears of the ethereal woman standing in the formation. She was certain that she would not make a wrong judgment.

Her master had told her before that if the Purple Abyss Phoenix Sword trembled, it must be because she had a thought or intention that attracted the attention of the soul.

This already fully explained that her master's soul still existed... at least it had been reincarnated.

"Senior Xia Yao, what happened?"

Outside the core area of the Sword Sect, several men and women felt the disturbance caused by the senior ancestor and entered to investigate.

Among them were several elders of the sect and the current sect master.

The woman named Xia Yao remained silent when she saw everyone entering.

The others realized that they had crossed the boundary and should not have entered this forbidden area, so they quickly kowtowed.

"Senior, we have committed a sin, please punish us!"

"While you were in seclusion, the Sword Domain of the sect was an absolute forbidden area that should not be trespassed."

"But today, when you suddenly recovered, we were somewhat surprised and thought something had happened, so we broke the rules for a moment."

After they finished speaking, they threw down their swords and asked the senior ancestor for punishment.

The woman named Xia Yao stopped them, her face still calm.

"It's alright, let's consider it breaking the rules this once."

"I recovered today because I sensed that my master is still alive."

With these words, everyone present who had been thinking about other things instantly looked up, their eyes widened, and they momentarily forgot what they were going to say next.

It was only after a while that someone realized the meaning of this sentence and asked tremblingly.

"Your... Your master?"

"Senior, are you saying that the Empress who lived a million years ago, our ancestor... she is still alive?"

The elders of the Sword Sect were undoubtedly shocked by this news.

Although they had not experienced the era of that ancestor, they had all heard of her legend.

It was she who had killed more than ten Saint Kings of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, causing a great change in the pattern of the immortal world and giving rise to various small and medium forces taking advantage of the chaos.

But she perished under the heavenly tribulation, leaving behind a legendary tale.

Before meeting Senior Xia Yao, they still had some doubts about this ancient event.

It was only after they joined the Sword Sect and truly saw the sword of that ancestor that they became completely convinced.

So one can imagine how shocked they were to learn that this legend not only existed but was still alive.

...

Seeing everyone still in shock, Xia Yao recalled the events of long ago and couldn't help but be moved.

"At that time, I was trapped in a secret realm and couldn't get out. When I finally returned to the Mahayana realm, I heard the tragic news about my master."

"I used a great method to break into the still lingering Thunder Pool and retrieve part of my master's remains, then went back and found a way to piece them together."

At that time, I was thinking that even my master, with such extraordinary cultivation, did not leave a complete body under this heavenly tribulation, so her soul must have long been extinguished by the Dao.

A million years have passed, and I no longer had any hope, but I didn't expect..."

"Now, give my order to search for any trace of my master at all costs!"

"But remember, you must act with caution and not expose any suspicious movements. Once certain people find out that my master is still alive, it will surely bring about ominous signs."

With a command, Xia Yao planned to spare no effort to find any possible trace of her master.

Although the elders and the current sect master had no clue where to start searching, they could not defy the order and could only nod in agreement for now.

They quickly retreated, leaving Xia Yao alone, feeling desolate and sorrowful.

At this moment, Xia Yao's body slowly floated up and drifted to the highest point of the Purple Abyss Phoenix Sword in the formation, arriving in front of a woman.

In the center of the sword's hilt, there was a lifeless woman sitting cross-legged.

Compared to the stunning Xia Yao, her appearance was even more breathtaking, indescribable in worldly language, and unbelievably beautiful.

She wore a repaired purple phoenix-patterned fairy robe, her long hair not tied up in a bun, but flowing freely like willow catkins dancing in the wind, bringing a hint of vitality to her exquisite face.

At this moment, this woman couldn't be described as sleeping, as she had already died millions of years ago.

She was the former Empress, Xia Yao's master, and Chu Yuehan's previous life's immortal body.

In order to restore her master to her current appearance, Xia Yao had entered the eternal Thunder Tribulation Pool created by her master several times, almost losing her life in the process.

Even so, she still hadn't found all the fragmented remains of her master's body that had been shattered by the Thunder Tribulation. Currently, only the right hand that held the sword was missing.

Helpless, she could only piece together part of the remains, using supreme secret techniques and her own essence blood, enduring for thousands of years, forcefully reversing the injuries, and restoring her master's appearance.

Now, her master's face had been restored to its original state, close at hand, her jade body as beautiful as before, stunningly captivating, but lifeless, sitting motionless like a statue.

Xia Yao was unwilling, how many times had she shed tears and felt sorrowful in front of this body, regretting why she hadn't arrived in time.

"Master, your disciple is incompetent, unable to appear when you needed me the most. This matter has become the demon in my cultivation of the sword path, making it difficult for me to take another step towards a higher realm."

"It's all my fault. Now that the opportunity has come, I just want to find you."

Saying this, Xia Yao finally looked at the peaceful face of the woman in front of her, then disappeared without a trace.

She left, leaving the sect and heading towards the Thunder Tribulation Pool of the past.

She wanted to find her master's last missing arm, put an end to this perfect immortal body, and then wait patiently for her master's return.

...

In the mortal realm.

Chu Yuehan, who had been reborn, didn't expect that her own remains would be found by her good disciple.

Not only did she find them, but she also restored them, even retaining some of her former strength.

And her disciple Xia Yao wouldn't have expected it either.

The master she had longed for, the ethereal Empress in her mind, was now leaning against a handsome man's embrace, nibbling on something strange, her eyes watery and a bit silly, completely devoid of the aura of the former peerless powerhouse, completely transformed into a well-behaved little baby.

"Daddy, chicken necks are delicious, can I have another one?"

Little Yuehan opened her mouth, looked up at her father, her eyes full of dependence, with some meat residue still remaining on her baby teeth.

At this time, she was still on her way to the Moon Phoenix City with the rest of the group, completely giving up on everything from her past life, just wanting to live well in the present.

"Daughter, you really can't eat anymore. If you eat more, your mother will scold me."

"Look, your mother is watching us from the side."

Feeling a bit awkward, Chu Qianqiu touched his daughter's head and pointed to the side, where Gu Qingxue was staring at him.

"Little girl, eating too much of these things will give you diarrhea. Listen to your mother and eat something normal!"

He gently scolded, and Gu Qingxue frowned, her expression serious.

The couple were educating a daughter who had lived for millions of years like this.

But little Yuehan was happy in it, completely embracing her identity, obediently nodding along.

"Okay, I won't eat anymore. I'm a good and obedient baby."

"Mhmm, my baby is so well-behaved."

...

Another ten days of travel.

Afterwards, the Chu family and their group crossed mountains, traversed plains, and finally arrived at their destination - Moon Phoenix City.
