The matter of Star Lord Yuan Qing made Bai Zhi’er exceptionally vigilant.
Feng Fuce also arranged for demons to investigate Star Lord Yuan Qing’s whereabouts everywhere.
On this day, within Ruizhu Palace, Bai Zhi’er rested her chin in her hand, holding a palm-sized open Heavenly Book.
Now her mana had become powerful to the extent that she didn’t need to return to the nine layered heaven to access the Immortal Mansion Book Library anytime, anywhere.
"Found it!" Bai Zhi’er exclaimed in joyous delight.
Seated beside her, Feng Fuce lifted his head from amidst a pile of ancient texts.
Bai Zhi’er pointed to a line in the Heavenly Book: "Star Lord Yuan Qing transformed from a demon to a deity over a thousand years ago." freewēbnoveℓ.com
"The Heavenly Book states he is... huh? Why is there no further record?"
Regarding precisely what kind of demon Star Lord Yuan Qing was, the Heavenly Book doesn’t mention a word further!
Bai Zhi’er flipped back and forth several times, finding no continuation of the record.
She was deeply puzzled: "Strange, it shouldn’t be this way. This Heavenly Book records the origin of all immortals, yet solely lacks his."
Feng Fuce seemed to have anticipated this, releasing a cold laugh: "Many demons have the trait of concealing their true identities from others, hence they can prevent revealing where their weaknesses lie."
"Since there is no record in the Heavenly Book, it means it’s been deliberately erased by Star Lord Yuan Qing."
"He doesn’t want others to know what demon he transformed into a deity from."
Bai Zhi’er furrowed her brow: "How can we investigate this?"
After all, Star Lord Yuan Qing had already mastered cultivation and could conceal his primordial spirit.
Even if Bai Zhi’er approached him, she wouldn’t see his past identity.
Feng Fuce raised an eyebrow: "No one’s plan can be flawless; it’s commonplace to overlook something."
As he spoke, he placed the ancient text he had just been perusing before Bai Zhi’er.
Feng Fuce’s slender, fair hand pointed to one entry:
"Over two thousand years ago, there was a small country in the Mortal World called the Zhen Dynasty. They lived affluently but were drowned overnight by a sudden flood."
Feng Fuce then drew out another ancient text, a local history of that time.
"Only a scant few survived. They sought help from the courts of the other countries and claimed to have seen the Toad Demon causing trouble."
"Moreover, those Toad Demons could absorb a white type of light just by facing the moon."
"When the courts of other dynasties sent soldiers to the Zhen Dynasty to investigate, the records suddenly ended."
Bai Zhi’er furrowed her brow in thought: "Could the Toad Demon be Star Lord Yuan Qing? However, these few sparse records don’t seem convincing."
Feng Fuce folded his arms, continuing: "A thousand years ago, your mother also wiped out a group of troublemaking Toad Demons in the mortal world."
"The demons sent out to investigate informed me the group of Toad Demons was the same clan as archived in these scant notes."
"I know this so clearly because the leader of those Toad Demons desperately fled, a three-legged toad, barely alive when it arrived in the Demon World."
"It hoped I would join forces with it to wage war against the Heavenly Dao, but I declined, and it left."
Feng Fuce caressed the wooden figure previously etched with Star Lord Yuan Qing.
His eyes were distant and deep, as though fixated on prey, waiting for a lethal strike, his gaze cold and dark.
"The first time I picked up this wooden figure, I sensed a similar, nauseating aura."
