Su Hua knew that Ouyang Ye's bloodline was rather special—so special that even she wasn't clear what kind of bloodline it truly was.
Now, discovering that the little girl's emotions could actually cause changes in the Great Natural Order truly shocked her. Upon careful investigation, she was even more astonished to find that Ouyang Ye's spiritual aura actually contained the endless vitality of the Great Natural Order. This utterly amazed Su Hua.
When asked, Ouyang Ye herself didn't know how to explain it, only saying that her bloodline had flared up repeatedly, and then a mark had inexplicably appeared on her body?
When Su Hua saw the mark on the little girl's chest, her expression immediately became one of disbelief.
The mark resembled the color of blood.
Profound beyond profound, wondrous beyond wondrous, it seemed like the source of life itself, yet also as if it were evolving something. It was like light and like darkness, like yin and like yang, like water yet also like fire. Light and darkness intertwined, yin and yang merged, water and fire coexisted, endlessly vital, continuously flowing, infinite and boundless. It was inseparable from Ouyang Ye, and equally inseparable from the Great Natural Order.
"Sister Su Hua, what is this mark?"
Although the location of the mark was somewhat embarrassing, at this moment Ouyang Ye didn't care about that. She just wanted to understand what exactly had happened to her.
"This..." Su Hua shook her head slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "I don't know either."
"Ah? Sister Su Hua, how can you not know either?"
Su Hua carefully examined the mark on Ouyang Ye's body. The more she examined it, the more incredible she found it. She had never seen such a mysterious and profound mark, nor had she ever witnessed such vast, endless vitality.
"Your emotions being able to cause changes in the Great Natural Order should be related to this mark. This is a mark of the Great Natural Order. As for which specific mark of the Great Natural Order it is, I'm not too clear for now, and I can't imagine what mark of the Great Natural Order could be so vast. It's truly miraculous. And..." Su Hua discovered another incredible thing. "And this mark is also connected to your bloodline. But I just checked your bloodline, and there's nothing unusual about it. Yeye, what exactly happened to you?"
"What happened to me...
It's all because of my bloodline, and that Gu Qingfeng!
It must be him!
Sister Su Hua!
You have to help me!"
Thinking of what had happened to her, Ouyang Ye also didn't know how to explain it. Her words came out jumbled, making Su Hua frown in confusion. "I know about your bloodline," Su Hua asked, "but what does that have to do with some Gu Qingfeng?"
"Gu Qingfeng is a scoundrel!
A bastard!
He molested me!"
Just mentioning the name Gu Qingfeng made Ouyang Ye grind her teeth in hatred. As her anger flared, the sky rumbled with thunder once more.
"Yeye, you should calm your emotions first. Let me explain for you."
Ouyang Feiyue organized her thoughts and recounted the entire sequence of events from beginning to end. To help Su Hua better understand, she even told her everything about how Ouyang Ye had first met Gu Qingfeng.
"I didn't think much of it before, but now, looking back carefully, ever since that Gu Qingfeng arrived at Yunxia Sect, Yeye's bloodline has been flaring up non-stop. Each time it flared up, she seemed like a different person. The last time it flared up, Yeye was covered in a bloody mist. Not only did her hair turn blood-red, but her eyes did too, and she was spouting some nonsense."
"At that time, Gu Qingfeng suddenly appeared as well. He seemed to recognize the changed Yeye and said some things, then the two of them vanished..." "When Yeye woke up again, she remembered nothing. She only knew that a strange mark had appeared on her chest."
Beside them, after Ouyang Ye calmed her emotions, she nodded and said, "Yes, Sister Su Hua. When I woke up, I was back at Yunxia Sect, but I remembered nothing. I don't know what that guy did to me..." Noticing Su Hua's silence, Ouyang Feiyue asked, "Yeye is not a reincarnated person, so why does she seem to become a different person every time her bloodline flares up?"
"Yeye's bloodline is rather special. It's a type of..." Su Hua left the rest unsaid. She knew Ouyang Ye's bloodline was special; it was called the 'Great Inverse Heaven and Earth Bloodline'.
Great Inverse Heaven and Earth was an extremely ancient technique, so ancient that almost no one knew of it, and even fewer knew how to perform it. Those who did know wouldn't dare to do so. They all knew it was a taboo, a heavenly sin that would incur judgment from the heavens.
Su Hua gazed at Ouyang Ye, just gazing. She truly couldn't imagine under what circumstances a person would perform the Great Inverse Heaven and Earth, bury their soul, forget their true self, and pass on a bloodline.
"Sister Su Hua, what did you just say about my bloodline?"
"Nothing, it's just a bit strange, that's all."
Worried about frightening Ouyang Ye, Su Hua decided not to reveal the truth. She asked instead, "And who is this Gu Qingfeng you mentioned?"
"I don't know. He's very mysterious and also very bizarre. His cultivation isn't high, but his strength is abnormally terrifying."
Ouyang Feiyue then gave a rough account of Gu Qingfeng's deeds, describing them in great detail. Su Hua listened attentively.
At First-Class Manor, he played 'Drunken Chant of the Azure Sea' on an empty zither, evoking its artistic conception.
On the day Yunxia Sect established its heir, with his formidable physical body, no one could budge him an inch.
At Chixu Manor, the might of a single shout intimidated thousands, and the Chixiao elder, Old Sen, knelt before him.
At the foot of Bingxuan Sect, a body-snatched rebirth expert dared not raise his head, and the Bingxuan Patriarch prostrated himself.
On Liuren Mountain, with a wave of his hand, he annihilated over ten thousand members of the Wind-Return Sect, paralyzed Patriarch Jiangzhu, and caused the twelve Chixiao members to bow and kneel before him.
After hearing these deeds, Su Hua's brows furrowed deeply. "Is he a reincarnated person? Or a body-snatched rebirth?"
"No, he has absolutely no turbid aura about him."
"Feiyue, are you certain?"
"I am absolutely certain."
"What about his bloodline?"
"None."
Ouyang Feiyue shook her head. "Apart from the pure aura of his Purple Mansion, he has nothing on him. Not even the colorful spiritual aura of the Great Natural Order."
"Oh?"
Su Hua let out a soft sound of surprise and fell into contemplation. To be honest, as a reincarnated person who had cultivated in this world for decades, she had seen far too many geniuses. Compared to those geniuses, the things Gu Qingfeng had done weren't particularly surprising. Yet, this person had nothing at all.
"If he's not a reincarnation, then why was Patriarch Jiangzhu scared out of his wits by him?"
Su Hua frowned and said gravely, "In this world, there are many who could scare Patriarch Jiangzhu out of his wits, but those who could make Chixiao members kneel are absolutely few."
"I once asked Old Sen about it. Old Sen refused to say a word on the matter and told us not to ask again."
As if remembering something, Ouyang Feiyue added, "Now, many people are saying Gu Qingfeng might have a very powerful Chixiao background."
"A very powerful Chixiao background? How so?"
"They say Gu Qingfeng might be the successor of a Chixiao Banner Lord, Dragon Head, or one of the Celestial and Earthly Fiends."
"That's unlikely. Those Chixiao members followed Lord Chixiao in conquering the world in the past. They have slain immortals and demons above, slaughtered ghosts and monsters below. Each is arrogant and untamed, fiery-tempered, proud-boned, fearless of immortals and demons, unafraid of heaven and earth. Even if the successor of a Chixiao Banner Lord came, they would only bow in greeting, they would absolutely not kneel. Even if it were the Celestial and Earthly Fiends who guard the four directions, they would act the same."
"In all the world, there is only one person who could make Chixiao members kneel!"
