Mr. Feng recalled the memories from more than thirty years ago as he said slowly, "That day, we followed the Light Elves into the Holy Mountain to make a pilgrimage. After the pilgrimage ended, I accompanied my wife to view the scenery in the cave at the bottom of the mountain. Unknowingly, we were attracted by a colorful beam of light. As if possessed, we entered the cave and saw…"
"What did you see?" Feng Tang asked impatiently.
Sheng Xiao frowned at them without saying a word.
Mr. Feng swallowed hard and didn't dare to look into Sheng Xiao's eyes as he stammered, "We saw a cocoon, which was emitting a colorful light. My wife only looked at the cocoon for a moment before the cocoon lost its light and we were ejected from the mysterious cave. It was very strange. When my wife and I woke up later, we were not sure if what we saw was real or not."
"It was only on the day Fourth Brother awakened his beast form that Madam and I saw that butterfly again. Only then did we realize that the scene we saw in the Holy Mountain of the Light Sea many years ago wasn't an illusion. In addition, Fourth Brother was good at illusions and his beast form skills were quite sinister, so we didn't dare to tell him and everyone the truth. That's why we kept it a secret."
"Young Master Sheng!" Mr. Feng knelt down to Sheng Xiao on the spot and cried. "Fourth Brother is our child. Even though his background is mysterious, he is still a child we watched grow up. We know him the best in the world. He isn't a bad person…"
"Young Master Sheng, on account of the fact that he is a friend, please don't kill him." Mr. Feng was worried that Sheng Xiao would kill Feng Yuncheng after knowing the truth, so he acted with his wife in front of Sheng Xiao.
In the end, the parents loved their child too deeply.
This was the first time Feng Tang had heard the secret and he felt uneasy when he saw Sheng Xiao's serious expression. "Young Master Sheng, what do you think?"
Sheng Xiao rubbed the porcelain cup in his hand and pondered for a moment. Then, he suddenly put down the cup and stood up as he said to the two elders of the Feng family, "I understand. Sorry to disturb you guys today. I still have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first." Sheng Xiao nodded at Feng Tang before leaving with Eternal.
Feng Tang chased after him. "Young Master Sheng!"
Sheng Xiao looked back at him.
Feng Tang walked to Sheng Xiao with a complicated expression. He didn't beg Sheng Xiao to protect Feng Yuncheng or cover up for him. He only said, "If Yuncheng really does anything wrong, you can kill him. But if he didn't do anything wrong and gets killed just because of his mysterious background, that would be too unfair."
"Young Master Sheng, he has always treated you as his most respected idol. Please… be forgiving towards him."
Sheng Xiao understood what Feng Tang meant.
"I promise you that if he doesn't do anything wrong, I won't allow the world to wrong him!" The commoners were important, but Sheng Xiao wouldn't kill an innocent person to protect the commoners.
The commoners were innocent, but wasn't Feng Yuncheng innocent as well?
Feng Tang was relieved to hear Sheng Xiao's promise.
"Young Master Sheng, have a safe trip!"
"Goodbye."
.
After leaving the Ice Domain Continent, Sheng Xiao teleported to the top of the Holy Mountain of the Light Sea.
Eternal went to the demonic cave. After doing what Sheng Xiao had instructed, he rushed to the Holy Mountain in advance. When he saw Sheng Xiao appear at the top of the Holy Mountain, Eternal quickly flew to the top of the mountain and said to Sheng Xiao, "Master, I've already searched the Holy Mountain, but I didn't sense its aura."
Eternal was a bone ball formed by the incarnation of the Great Dao, so its aura was the same as the Great Dao, but he didn't sense the aura of the Great Dao on the Holy Mountain.
Sheng Xiao smiled and said, "Of course we can't sense the aura of the Great Dao." Sheng Xiao suddenly transformed into Black Qing and rushed towards the Holy Mountain.
Seeing this, Eternal also flew down.
The master and servant went straight to the bottom of the Holy Mountain and arrived at the underground river lake.
This was the origin of the Holy Water of Light and where the eye of the Holy Mountain was.
After Sheng Xiao waved his right hand at the underground river, the dark underground became as bright as day. When Eternal looked down, he realized a golden lake was under them. Every drop of water in the lake was the Holy Water of Light.
The reason the seawater of the Light Sea was golden was that it was affected by the Holy Water of Light.
Eternal floated above the Holy Water of Light Spring with Sheng Xiao as he praised, "The spiritual power here is so rich!" It was even richer than that of any cultivation holy land in the Great World.
Sheng Xiao crossed his arms and walked into the void of the spring as he said, "Elves are like unicorns. They can only live in the place with the purest spiritual energy and the freshest air in the world. For it to become the resting place of the Elve Clan, there must be something special about the Light Sea. I should have thought of this long ago…"
Eternal didn't understand the deeper meaning behind Sheng Xiao's words, so he was puzzled. "Master, what are you suspecting?"
Sheng Xiao said, "After the Great Dao died, the three thousand worlds were slowly formed. But in the original Chaos World, there was only the Demon Beast Continent. Eternal, you accompanied me to the Western Continent and saw the beauty and wonders of the Western Continent. Where do you think the Western Continent where the Elve Clan lives came from?"
Eternal was stumped by Sheng Xiao's question.
Sheng Xiao continued, "After the Great Dao died, all its cultivation turned into spiritual energy and was hidden in the three thousand worlds. Its skeleton turned into 3,006 bone balls and floated in the void, while its Beast Heart became the core of the Chaos Continent, which is the core of the demon beast continent. However, what about its heart?"
Eternal's eyes widened.
"Are you suspecting…" As Eternal stared at the lake under his feet, he felt his throat tighten and his breathing become a little labored." Do you think that the core of the Western Continent is the heart of the Great Dao? "
Sheng Xiao didn't agree, but he didn't deny it either.
Sheng Xiao smiled at Eternal mysteriously and said, "Be bolder and continue to analyze."
The two of them walked on the holy water lake one after another. Eternal analyzed clearly, "Back then, Holy Spirit Goldfeather was entrusted by the Kunlun Divine Master to take away the remaining clansmen of the Elve Clan and hide them in his Holy Spirit Continent's small world. After that, the Western Continent disappeared. For more than ten thousand years, the Elve Clan relied on the Holy Water of Light to reside in the Light Sea, so this Holy Water of Light is very likely the core of the Western Continent, which is… the heart of the Great Dao."
Then, Eternal thought of Feng Yuncheng, who had the same beast form and beast form skills as the Great Dao. After combining the words of the Feng family's parents with Feng Yuncheng's special beast form, Eternal discovered a shocking secret. "Feng Yuncheng, is… is he a clone of the Great Dao?"
"No." Sheng Xiao shook his head as he rejected Eternal's guess and corrected him, "He's not a clone of the Great Dao, but a reincarnation."
