Against The Sky Supreme

Guan Feng hesitantly said, "Seventh Princess, Dao Qing Grandmaster passed away over sixty thousand years ago."

"Boom!"

"My master is a top expert at the eighth layer of the dao ancestor realm; how could he possibly die... sob..."

Guan Feng lowered her head and took a deep breath, saying, "Seventh Princess, Dao Qing Grandmaster truly has fallen."

Yu Yunxi suppressed the pain in her heart and choked out, "Nanny, how did my master die?"

"Did he touch the supreme dao ancestor realm barrier and perish during his tribulation while I was away?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Feng waved her right arm and set up a soundproof barrier before saying, "Seventh Princess, Dao Qing Grandmaster was killed by the emperor."

"The emperor? Which emperor?" Yu Yunxi shivered, "Was it my father emperor?"

"Yes." Guan Feng nodded.

"Why?" Yu Yunxi's tears blurred her vision, "Why would my father kill my master!"

"Seventh Princess, the story is long, please allow me to explain." Guan Feng spoke truthfully: "Over sixty thousand years ago, the palace master of the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace refused to marry the emperor, so the emperor allied with the Elysium Sect to attack the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace."

"And Dao Qing Grandmaster, surprisingly, was a junior brother to the ancestor master of the Four Arts Star Domain of the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace. Therefore, Dao Qing Grandmaster assisted the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace and waged war against the Western Continent Ancestral Dynasty and the Elysium Sect."

"In the end, the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace was destroyed. Dao Qing Grandmaster single-handedly killed the vice palace master of the Beast Clan Star Domain, the Nine-headed Ancestor Dragon, and our court's great offering, Helian Mengde."

"Later, he was captured by the emperor and was butchered to death."

Hearing this, Yu Yunxi felt as if all her strength had been drained. She collapsed to the ground, wailing, "How could my father be so cruel, how could he ally with the Elysium Sect!"

"Father emperor must have known; the Elysium Sect is a sect twisted by human nature. How could he, how could he collaborate with the Elysium Sect... sob..."

"And Tan Yun, if he knew that the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace had been destroyed, how heartbroken would he be... sob..."

Yu Yunxi, with tear-filled eyes, raised her head and looked at Guan Feng, "What about Palace Master Fang Zixi, the supreme saint elder Dao Kun, and the saintess Xin Bingshuan? Are they still alive?"

Yu Yunxi knew that these three were the ones Tan Yun cared about the most, which was why she asked.

"Alas." Guan Feng sighed, "They should all be dead. At that time, it was said that there was no one left alive in the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace; it was a complete massacre."

"If they are really dead, how heartbroken he must be..." After murmuring to herself, Yu Yunxi looked expectantly at Guan Feng, "Nanny, did my master's body receive a proper burial?"

"No." Guan Feng replied truthfully, "Dao Qing Grandmaster's bones are gone, and his soul has been extinguished."

"Seventh Princess, here is a jade tablet that Dao Qing Grandmaster left for you before assisting the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace."

"He specifically instructed that even if I die, I cannot let anyone see the jade tablet."

"He also said that it contains the truth about your mother's death and information about your origins."

Yu Yunxi reached out to take the jade tablet, suppressing her sadness as she said, "Nanny, I'm feeling very confused. I want to be alone for a while. If there is nothing urgent, I don't wish to see anyone."

After leaving this sentence, Yu Yunxi entered her own great hall, closed the door, set up a barrier, and released her divine consciousness into the jade tablet.

She saw the jade tablet inscribed with:

"Xi'er, my good disciple, if I encounter misfortune during this trip to the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace, you must promise me not to be sad, not to be upset."

Yu Yunxi's body trembled, tears streaming down her face as she continued to read.

"Xi'er, if I am no longer here, the only thing I cannot let go of is you. I really want to see the day when you and Yun'er can marry."
