Under Sword Gate Pass...

Gu Jian Youchen gulped down a mouthful of wine and suddenly coughed...

This cough was rather awkward: "Kid, are you looking for trouble?"

"How am I looking for trouble?" Lin Xiaosu said: "Senior, I told her that your separation was not because you abandoned her, but because the sect was in trouble and you didn’t want her to be dragged down. She was moved to tears, left Luohua Temple, and regrew her beautiful long hair. If it weren’t for the fact that this world forbids the entry of a Holding the Way, it might not be me standing before you today, but her."

Bang!

The wine bottle in Gu Jian Youchen’s hand suddenly shattered.

The shards of the bottle, along with half a bottle of wine, were suspended in mid-air, looking lost and helpless: "You... you met her?"

"Not only did I meet her, but also another person you’ve met, a very special person to you."

"Who?"

"Your daughter, Feng Ji!"

The glass shards floating in front of Gu Jian Youchen fell to the ground with a crash.

His lips trembled slightly: "My daughter?"

Lin Xiaosu said: "That day, you said she had a familiar Reincarnation Bloodline, and you even taught her the move, Other Shore Flower. Father-in-law, you must believe, there is destiny in the unseen. The familiarity you sensed is real. The move you taught her was her mother’s most prized technique..."

Gu Jian Youchen stared at him blankly: "Kid, what did you call me?"

"Father-in-law, this is really a twist of fate. I truly didn’t have such intentions initially, but it was your own reminder that led me to ask her for a drop of blood, to decrypt the Reincarnation Law, and thereby comprehend Other Shore Flower, by following your instructions... so, this..."

Bang!

Gu Jian Youchen slapped himself across the face.

His mouth was skewed.

How absurd, how shameless...

Who could have known that woman was his daughter?

He let this kid, who seemed quite likable, take a drop of blood from his senior apprentice sister. Was it too much? That wasn’t his concern, but now he realized, this prank he played hurt his own daughter...

"Father-in-law..."

"Don’t call me father-in-law, I... I treated you as a brother, what did you take me for?" Gu Jian Youchen glared angrily.

"I... I’m innocent, father-in-law, this was all your arrangement!"

Smack!

Another slap, still targeting his own face.

"Father-in-law, Feng Ji carries the True Reincarnation Seal."

Gu Jian Youchen suddenly lifted his head...

"Father-in-law should know, the True Reincarnation Seal has the potential to breed the Reincarnation Tao Seal, and the Reincarnation Sect, lacking the Tao Seal, is no longer one of the Six Paths and has fallen to one of the Nine Gates. Thus, mother-in-law has returned to the Reincarnation Sect overnight from Great Wilderness Jiangnan to protect our daughter. She once told me, our family, one path, whether it’s three thousand years or a million, none should be missing!"

Gu Jian Youchen’s eyes were filled with radiant light.

This light might be called the light of hope.

"The True Reincarnation Seal, born out of regret, her three seals, due to my emergence, one has been eliminated. Although I don’t know what the remaining two regrets are, I dare to boldly speculate that one must be reserved for you!"

"For me?"

"Because she entered this world searching for her father, who, without being found, turned to bones. Father-in-law, think about it, what is her deepest regret?"

"Not recognizing her father and daughter!"

"So, father-in-law, though the scenery atop Two Realms Mountain is beautiful, the mortal world is ultimately where you belong," Lin Xiaosu said.

Gu Jian Youchen let out a long sigh: "You little rascal, do you really think I am unwilling to leave the scenery of Two Realms Mountain? I am already one with the array, how can I leave?"

Lin Xiaosu said: "Father-in-law can sever the three corpses, but cannot cut off a lifetime of ties?"

"Sever?" Gu Jian Youchen asked.

"Father-in-law, the situation has changed greatly. The Circulation Array constructed by Array Sect has indeed protected countless generations by forming a defense line for that world and the Kun Cang Spirits. However, now that the outer Circulation Array is broken, this array is in fact meaningless. It’s no longer about closing off and locking away to protect life, but about facing the battle openly. It’s time to let go!"

"Let go... let go... let go of my father’s heavy burden, let go of the city built from the blood and flesh of a hundred thousand disciples of Array Sect..."

Gu Jian Youchen murmured.

"Sometimes, what’s let go of is just a bond. The true legacy of the ancestors of Array Sect is not about gaining or losing one city or land, but the continuation of bloodlines, of familial ties, of humanity. The struggle remains and will continue to exist every day of our lives!"

Gu Jian Youchen looked up to the sky, gazing at the floating clouds, for a long, long time. Finally, he slowly lowered his head: "Little Su, you are the only heir of Array Sect, there is something you must not miss, let your Primordial Spirit enter my abode!"

"Alright!"

Lin Xiaosu’s Primordial Spirit entered Gu Jian Youchen’s Sea of Consciousness.

Spreading through the Sea of Consciousness, he saw another Circulation Array map...

Half an hour later, the Primordial Spirit withdrew.

"Got it memorized?"

"Memorized!" Lin Xiaosu said: "Father-in-law, in cutting this, are you severing the array body?"

Gu Jian Youchen, having become one with the array, could be considered the array body. If he couldn’t give up this body, he could not leave Two Realms Mountain. Now to leave, he must adopt the method of Slaying of the Three Corpses to sever this "Acquired Array Body."

"Yes! This severance could be considered as deceiving my teacher and betraying my ancestors. I only hope that my father’s spirit in heaven will not be saddened by this unfilial son..." His form suddenly shot up, and he stretched his hand into the air!

All the clouds in Two Realms Mountain swirled, mountains and rivers swirled, transforming into a shocking sword.

"Sever!"

With a hiss, a deep scar appeared in the sky, flattening Two Realms Mountain.
