"Hmm..."
Facing Qian Renxue's inquiry, Qian Daoliu pondered and began to reminisce.
"Although our Qian family's records basically start from the Divine Ancestor."
"However, I remember hearing before that before the birth of the Divine Ancestor, our Qian family's inherited Spirit was the Light Angel."
"After the Divine Ancestor attained godhood, he bestowed a blessing upon us, and our Light Angel Spirit evolved into the Seraphim."
"Back then, it seems our Qian family also had a branch of the Light Angel clan that suddenly vanished without a trace; no one knows where they went."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue suddenly became excited.
As expected!
Everything written in Lord Lin Hanjue's notes was true.
Afterward, Qian Renxue couldn't help but ask again.
"Grandfather, the words you just spoke are very similar to what was written in Lord Lin Hanjue's notebook."
"I wonder if the Divine Ancestor might have had some interaction with Lord Lin Hanjue?"
"I don't know much about the history related to the Divine Ancestor."
"Grandfather, do you know if anyone powerful appeared on the Divine Ancestor's path to godhood to help or guide him?"
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and said,
"Now that you ask, I do recall something."
"In a book recording the deeds of the Divine Ancestor's childhood, it says that although the Divine Ancestor awakened the Seraphim Spirit, his wisdom and character weren't actually that prominent at first."
"Until one time, while being led by a clan elder to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings, they unexpectedly encountered a beast tide."
"The Divine Ancestor accidentally got separated, and everyone thought something had happened to him."
"However, a few years later, the Divine Ancestor returned, and he had become very different from before—his wisdom was more profound, his character more steadfast and brave, and he was far-sighted."
"It says that during the years the Divine Ancestor was missing, he met a reclusive sage who knew everything from astronomy to geography. This sage taught the Divine Ancestor many things and nurtured him into the person he became."
"Only afterward did the Divine Ancestor, along with the founders of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, end the era of Evil Soul Masters and inaugurate the current Douluo era."
"But because there is no accurate data to verify this account,"
"most people generally treat it as a rumor."
"No! This must be true!"
Qian Renxue said very firmly.
"The words of the Divine Ancestor you just mentioned could only be spoken by someone who has had contact with Lord Lin Hanjue."
"Because the thoughts and logic in those words come from another World from Lin Hanjue's previous life; they are the crystallization of that World's wisdom."
"If it were someone from our World, it would be very difficult for them to say it themselves!"
However, learning that the Divine Ancestor likely had contact with Lin Hanjue in the past, and might have even learned knowledge from him,
made Qian Renxue can't help but think.
If the Divine Ancestor had such a relationship with Lord Lin Hanjue,
then when the Divine Ancestor encountered danger in the God Realm, wouldn't Lord Lin Hanjue have stepped in to help?
Or rather, did Lord Lin Hanjue not stop the Divine Ancestor from ascending to the God Realm?
Qian Renxue was full of doubt and curiosity.
But from the bottom of her heart, she inexplicably felt that the Divine Ancestor might still be alive!
...
On the other side, after returning to Spirit City,
Bibi Dong also rewarded the Immortal Herbs and top-grade spiritual medicines she brought back to the powerful Spirit Masters belonging to her Supreme Pontiff faction, helping them improve their cultivation and aptitude, as well as evolve their Spirits.
At the same time, Bibi Dong did not immediately head to the Extreme North Land to find the third notebook.
She actually wanted Qian Renxue to take Qian Daoliu and the other Enshrined Elders to the Extreme North Land to find that third notebook.
However, the next day,
inside the Angel Sanctuary of the Douluo Hall,
after having the Gold Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, Lion Douluo, and other Enshrined Elders come to the Angel Sanctuary, she gave Immortal Grade and top-grade spiritual medicines like the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, and Ink Jade Divine Bamboo Shoot to them.
With the help of the Immortal Grade and top-grade spiritual medicines brought back by Qian Renxue,
the cultivation of the Gold Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, Lion Douluo, and other Enshrined Elders all successfully achieved breakthroughs.
Except for the Azure Luan Douluo, the Spirits of the others all evolved.
Afterward, Qian Renxue took out two notebooks and had the Qianjun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo inject spirit power to display the content, preparing to pass on the various cultivation methods recorded within to the Gold Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, Lion Douluo, and the others.
After reading the two notebooks and receiving numerous cultivation methods and self-created Spirit Abilities,
the Gold Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, Lion Douluo, and other Enshrined Elders were also shocked beyond measure, hardly able to believe it.
The true faces of the gods in the God Realm were so hypocritical and shameless!
And the true history of the Douluo Continent was so cruel and bloody!
Originally, Qian Renxue indeed prepared to take Qian Daoliu, along with the newly-broken-through Gold Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, Lion Douluo, and others to the Extreme North Land to find the third notebook.
But after flipping to the last page of the second notebook again,
she saw the map of the Douluo Continent appearing on the back cover.
The golden dot of light on it had actually left the Extreme North Land and was moving south.
This left Qian Renxue stunned.
How did this third notebook come out of the Extreme North Land?!
Could it be that this notebook wasn't hidden in the Extreme North Land,
but was on a person who just happened to go there?
But since the notebook had come out of the Extreme North Land,
Qian Renxue thought about it and decided not to take her grandfather and the other grandfathers—the Gold Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, and Lion Douluo—to the Extreme North Land anymore.
Because she had also read the contents of the second notebook,
she knew that the current habitats of various Spirit Beasts might not be as simple as they appeared on the surface.
If that third notebook had been given by Lord Lin Hanjue to some powerful Spirit Beast to guard, it wouldn't be so easy to take.
Now, since it had left the Extreme North Land on its own,
Qian Renxue wanted to see where this third notebook would eventually go.
And because the time she could return to Spirit City was limited,
after staying in Spirit City for a day, Qian Renxue returned to the Heaven Dou Imperial City and resumed her disguise as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
Coincidentally, after Qian Renxue returned to the Heaven Dou Imperial City,
a few days later, through the second notebook currently in her hand, she discovered that the third notebook had arrived at the Heaven Dou Imperial City and stopped.
"It stopped in the Heaven Dou Imperial City?"
Qian Renxue was momentarily stunned.
...
On the other side, in Tianshui Academy,
recently, Shui Binger had been constantly studying a strange notebook in her hand.
Because she had broken through to level forty,
some time ago, under the leadership of the Dean, she and her younger sister Shui Yueer, along with others, had gone to the Extreme North Land.
In the Extreme North Land, she had hunted a four-thousand-year-old Ice-Snow Flying Luan.
On the way back, a book suddenly sprang out from the snow and fell into her arms.
Initially, she just thought it was a coincidence, perhaps caused accidentally by a Spirit Beast under the snow.
But later, she found this notebook to be very mysterious and strange.
Because there was no writing in the notebook; it was all blank.
However, when she placed her hand on it, she could feel a suction force, as if it wanted to absorb the spirit power in her body.
Moreover, the material of the notebook was extremely special, as if it were full of traces of time yet very new; the pages seemed like paper but weren't, very soft yet exceptionally tough.
On this day, Qian Renxue took a carriage all the way to the entrance of Tianshui Academy.
