"Palace Master..."
Xin Bingshuan had just begun to speak when Fang Zixi interrupted her with a smile, "Just call me Older Sister Fang."
"Mm." Xin Bingshuan nodded, her beautiful eyes filled with excitement. "Seeing that your cultivation level has not only recovered but has also reached a new height makes me very happy."
Back then, Fang Zixi had narrowly escaped under the siege of the high priest of the Elysium Sect and the Western Continent Great Emperor. Although she managed to escape with Xin Bingshuan from the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace, her cultivation level had plummeted to the third layer of the dao ancestor realm.
In the past two million years, driven by hatred, Fang Zixi dedicated herself to cultivation. After quickly regaining her level, she had even entered the great perfection of the dao ancestor realm!
As for Xin Bingshuan, she had now reached the ninth layer of the dao saint realm.
"Bingshuan, am I really useless? I watched helplessly as my disciples were slaughtered, yet I could do nothing." Tears streamed down Fang Zixi’s face.
"No, no, that's not true." Xin Bingshuan shook her head, thoughts of her deceased Eighth Senior Sister Miao Qingqing and the other fallen brothers making her vision blur with tears. "Sister, you have tried your best. Please don't blame yourself anymore."
"Sister, I believe that one day, we will take revenge!"
"Mm." Fang Zixi nodded heavily.
"Sister, I have always had a question." Xin Bingshuan said.
"Speak." Fang Zixi encouraged.
"Sister, why did you bring me here?" Xin Bingshuan asked, puzzled.
"Because this is my home," Fang Zixi said, her heart aching.
"Home?" Xin Bingshuan whispered, "I don't understand what you mean."
Fang Zixi's eyes were filled with tears as she took a deep breath and said, "Actually, I am not from the Western Continent Divine Domain. My home is right here, and my father was the former palace master of the Northern Divine Palace."
Upon hearing this, Xin Bingshuan's eyes widened in shock. "Sister, I heard that it was the Northern Continent Great Emperor who joined forces with several major powers in the Northern Divine Domain to kill the Northern Divine Palace. Is that true?"
"Yes... it's true," Fang Zixi trembled, her heart aching to the point of breathlessness.
When the words "it's true" reached Xin Bingshuan's ears, she suddenly burst into tears and tightly hugged Fang Zixi.
She never imagined that Fang Zixi's fate could be so tragic; she once thought of Fang Zixi as the lofty palace master, enjoying boundless glory.
But now she realized that Fang Zixi had endured hardships beyond what ordinary people could accept!
The first time, her home was destroyed, her parents brutally murdered, and the entire Northern Divine Palace was slaughtered!
The second time, her painstakingly created Heavenly Gate Divine Palace was again destroyed by the enemy, and all disciples and upper echelons, except those out on training, were completely slaughtered.
How much pain must she have felt!
"Wuwu... why is heaven so cruel to you, Sister..." Xin Bingshuan sobbed, holding Fang Zixi tightly.
"It's okay, Bingshuan, don't cry. I'm really fine," Fang Zixi bravely stopped crying, but the tears continued to fall uncontrollably.
"Bingshuan, listen, don’t cry." As she shed tears, Fang Zixi forced a smile. "We should be grateful that over two million years ago, we didn't die in the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace."
"If we had died back then, we wouldn't be able to take revenge now."
"Also, I am now at the great perfection of the dao ancestor realm. As long as Hu Yan Zhang and the high priest are not at the great perfection of the dao ancestor realm, I have the strength to fight them."
"We should return to the Western Continent Divine Domain now and find the opportunity to take revenge!"
"And Tan Yun, we haven't seen him for over four million years. He must have heard about the destruction of the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace and might even think we are dead."
"He must be very sad. Let's go back and find him now, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Xin Bingshuan stopped crying. "Okay, I won’t cry. Let's go find Tan Yun now."
