My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 1383 - 499: Assault on Kunxu (Part 3)

"Yes indeed...

"How unfair it is for you; you should have been like an ordinary female sword cultivator, pursuing the path to immortality, traveling the world, finding a fellow cultivator to share your heart with, and live a carefree and joyful life.

"Yet, since childhood, you bear the Demon Seed...

"Your mother said, when the Demon Seed appears, all living things will be devastated. She would rather die, rather hurt her own daughter than see that day come.

"Honestly, I say, mankind is worth nothing!

"Even binding all the people in the world together cannot compare to the importance of my daughter! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"For this matter, I argued with your mother more than once.

"I questioned her why she sealed the Demon Seed inside you, forcing a newborn child to bear such things unrelated to them.

"Many times, I wanted to remove the Demon Seed early, even fought your mother, and the conflict nearly reached an irreconcilable level.

"Until later, a word from your mother enlightened me.

"She said...

"'Chu Tai, you keep saying, what does the world have to do with you? Have you thought that you yourself are a part of this world, and our daughter is intertwined with all living beings.'

"From that time, I realized, the existence of the Demon Seed affects everyone, including our family.

"So, I agreed with your mother.

"Now, father must also tell you this.

"If the Demon Seed is handed over, there will be no untouched egg under the overturned nest. How could you and your mother be safe? Not to mention Shi Tou, your Master Yu Ling, everyone around you, everything you cherish would be obliterated!

"Girl, I beg you to hold on a little longer; I believe one day, Shi Tou will surely find a way to safely separate you from the Demon Seed.

"In this life, father has let you down, made up for it only by having Chen Sansi repay me. He learned my skills, and he must protect you for life; this deal is not a loss for me.

"Alright then, let's leave it here; I should also leave to Kunxu, to see your mother."

As above.

It was written personally by Lord Taishan at the end of the cultivation technique left for Jiang Xiyue.

Perhaps influenced by the Demon Seed.

Jiang Xiyue had memories from the womb, clearly remembering everything that happened.

She could not forget the carefree days of Nangong Qingyao and Lord Taishan living in the mountains as a family.

Nangong Qingyao hand-stitched clothes for her during the day.

Mu Chutai would lie on her belly and constantly babble nonsense.

At night, they would cuddle by the bed and discuss what name to give the child.

"Shall we arrange a marriage for the child?"

"Are you talking about Sun Xiangzong's family?"

"Yes, if it's a boy and a girl, they will marry; if two boys, they will be brothers, and if girls, sisters. This way, if we're gone in the future, they'll have someone to depend on."

"We could use magic to see if it's a boy or a girl."

"No, keep the mystery!"

"..."

Away from such peaceful images, there were also fierce arguments.

"Are you crazy? You want to seal the Demon Seed inside the child?!"

"Chu Tai, there is no other way..."

"No way! No matter what you say, it's impossible!"

...

Rainy night.

"Chu Tai, where are you taking the Demon Seed?"

"I don't know, maybe throw it away, or give it to that old bastard Xuanqiongzi!"

"You dare?!"

"You're going to seal it in the child's body; what else wouldn't I dare do?"

"Mu Chutai, can you take anything from me?!"

"Alright then, let me try; let's see how powerful you, the reincarnated immortal, are!"

"..."

...

"Chu Tai, there's no time."

"Is there really no other way?"

"If we're discovered, we'll all die."

"Is it really that serious? Can't we negotiate? At least safe our lives first!"

"No, absolutely not."

"Living is more important than anything!"

"..."

Past events, like a scroll, unfolded before Jiang Xiyue's eyes.

She remembers...

She remembers!

Because she remembers how much her father protected her, she couldn't understand why he later betrayed her mother for mere survival...

Jiang Xiyue also knew there was always someone hiding in the shadows, quietly taking care of her from childhood.

Whenever she practiced swordsmanship alone in the woods, excellent spirit fruit would always appear when she was hungry or thirsty, and if she accidentally fell down, a strong wind would blow to lift her up.

If attacked by wild beasts, they would turn into roast meat by the stream that night...

Yet she resented; resented her father's betrayal of her mother, his abandonment of cultivation for survival, hence kept a grudge, reluctant to acknowledge him.

But she never doubted her father's love.

Until last time at Spirit Venerable Peak, after resolving all misunderstandings, she realized her father had been waiting, enduring humiliation, hoping that one day he could, with one sword, solve all trouble at Kunxu once and for all.

But she...

Lost the chance to apologize in person.

How could Jiang Xiyue, for the sake of temporary survival, hand over the Demon Seed, betray her parents, her Master Yu Ling, and Chen Sansi's determined resistance?

Withdrawing all thoughts.

Layers of frost climbed up her arms onto the Taiyin Sword Blade, turning an area of hundreds of miles into a winter wonderland.
