In the village of Matoupo, Xu Ying sat honestly while Mrs. Lu pressed his head and poured water over it to wash away the blood hidden in his hair.

"I've been washing his hair like this all my life, for seven years. Why isn't he my son?" Mrs. Lu said, tears falling down her face.

The villagers surrounded them, holding items like pitchforks, steamed buns, and kitchen knives, preventing Qi, Da Zhong, and Zhu Chan Chan from taking Xu Ying away. Despite their small size and great fear of the big snake, they bravely stepped forward.

After washing Xu Ying's hair, Mrs. Lu wiped away her tears and choked out, "Why isn't he my son?"

Xu Ying sat up and said, "Mother, I might not really be your son. I can vaguely remember some things. I remember that the big snake's name is Seven, and we have been through a lot together. And there's Mr. Zhong, I have some images in my mind of it sacrificing itself to protect me."

Zhu Chan Chan looked expectant and asked, "What about me, old ancestor?"

Xu Ying hesitated and asked, "Are you my foster daughter?"

Zhu Chan Chan was furious and punched him on the head twice, saying, "You're dreaming! What are you thinking?"

Xu Ying said, "No wonder I don't have any impression of you. If you were my foster daughter, I would definitely remember. I remember a girl who liked to wear rouge."

He tried hard to think of the girl's name and exclaimed, "I remember now, her name is Yuan Weiyang! I liked to eat the rouge on her lips!"

Seven glanced at Da Zhong, looking worried.

Da Zhong whispered, "It's a good thing that he mistook Yuan Weiyang for a girl. At least he's starting to remember some things."

Mrs. Lu wiped away her tears again and looked at Xu Jin, who remained silent.

The village leader shouted, "Mother Ying, as long as you say the word, we will fight these monsters to keep Ying Wa here!"

Suddenly, the sound of a bell resonated, releasing the true memories that had been sealed in everyone's minds.

These people were just ordinary folks, and the memory seals left by the three elders were not very powerful. Da Zhong easily broke these seals.

The sealed memories rushed back to the villagers, and soon, they remembered that three strange people had brought Xu Ying to the village three months ago.

At that time, the villagers didn't know Xu Ying, but soon they all recognized him. Everyone knew that seven years ago, Xu Jin had rescued Xu Ying from the water while fishing.

Since then, everyone knew that Xu Ying had been living in the village for seven years, and they also knew that there had been a big fire in Xu's family home.

But now, with their memories unsealed, they couldn't help but feel deep fear towards Xu Ying.

Who exactly was this young man?

Why did the villagers' memories change after he arrived?

Xu Jin and Mrs. Lu's memories had also awakened, and the couple held each other, looking at Xu Ying with fear.

"So, I really am not your son, am I?" Xu Ying felt disheartened but smiled as he asked them.

The couple shook their heads.

Xu Ying's nose twitched, feeling a bit chilly from the water used to wash his hair today.

He thought he might have caught a cold, and his nose felt a bit sore.

Mrs. Lu hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything.

Xu Ying looked at them, his lips twitching.

Mrs. Lu and Xu Jin's memories had recovered, and they knew he was not their son, and they hadn't lived together for seven years. However, Xu Ying's memories remained unchanged. He still had strong feelings for the couple, and in his memories, he had still lived with them for seven years.

Xu Ying rose into the air and landed on the river, waving his sleeves. Large fish involuntarily flew up and landed on the river. These fish would be enough to support the residents of Matoupo Village for a while.

Zhu Chan Chan brought a spiritual pill and threw it into the village well, saying, "Once the pill dissolves, you and your husband can use the well water and conceive your own child."

Seven swam into the Yuan River, and Da Zhong flew into Xu Ying's mind. Seven dived underwater, then suddenly lifted Xu Ying and swam eastward.

Mrs. Lu and Xu Jin watched them go, feeling a bit melancholic.

Life in Majiapo Village returned to normal, and the villagers' encounter with the monsters became a topic of conversation after meals. The incident was not over yet.

The next morning, Mrs. Lu's cry of surprise was heard, and Xu Jin hurried out to see a new boat in their yard.

A few days later, the couple woke up to find a large fish two or three zhang long in their yard. Since the fish from the previous days had not been eaten, the couple took them to the market to sell.

A few days later, for some reason, another large fish appeared in their yard.

Every few days, large fish would inexplicably appear in their yard. Some said it was the monster named Xu Ying who had returned to repay their kindness.

The days of Xu Jin and his wife gradually improved, and not long after, Mrs. Lu became pregnant. The villagers who drank the well water also gradually became healthy and free from illness.

Three months later, in the autumn, Xu Jin said to Mrs. Lu, "Our monster child hasn't brought any fish these past few days." Mrs. Lu replied, "We raised him for three months, and he came to repay the favor. Now that the debt is settled, we have a child, and he has let go."

Xu Jin nodded and went out to fish. It was strange that the boat the monster child had given him was very stable, even in rough waters.

"Ying is not the monster they say he is. He is human, with a human heart," he silently thought to himself.

Xu Ying returned to Wumang Mountain after traveling from Wuling.

These days, he would secretly fly on his sword in the middle of the night, traveling thousands of miles to Wuling, then returning to Wumang Mountain before dawn.

"Ying, you have repaid the favor. You don't need to go anymore."Da Zhong waited for him on the mountain, and when he returned covered in dust, he said, "You are a cultivator, they are mere mortals. What is just a small disturbance for a cultivator is a catastrophe for them. Don't bring trouble to them."

Xu Ying's heart trembled and he replied, "You're right, I won't go back."

Qiyou came and asked, "A Ying, your cultivation has improved. Have you remembered anything from before?"

During these three months, Xu Ying had been cultivating on the Unwarranted Mountain, and his cultivation had already recovered and reached a higher level, getting closer to the fourth level of the Crossing Period.

During this time, he occasionally saw fragments of his previous memories in his mind - the life in Jiangjiatian, the days of escape with Qiyou and Da Zhong, the face of Yuan Weiyang, and the scene of Zhou Qiyun's Tribulation Crossing.

However, he still couldn't piece these fragments together and fully remember his past.

Zhu Chanchan had grown into a young lady, exuding an ethereal aura and possessing profound cultivation. She was wearing Guo Xiaodie's clothes, which were a bit small for her as Guo Xiaodie had mentioned before.

"It should be when his memories were unsealed last time, he secretly hid some of his power to counter the sealing talisman, leaving a loophole in the seal."

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread.com ].

The girl exuded a youthful vitality mixed with an air of maturity, and she adjusted her chest to avoid discomfort, then leaned in front of Xu Ying, examining the thunder pattern on his forehead.

Xu Ying did indeed have a faint thunder pattern on his forehead, barely noticeable without careful observation.

She almost pressed against Xu Ying's face, staring at the thunder pattern and trying to transform its form into a recorded Dao image, saying, "This thunder pattern should be the clue he left before losing his memory. I suspect that at the moment the seal was activated, he was already prepared to break the seal."

Sitting there obediently, Xu Ying was hit by her breath on his face, blushing slightly, and looked away, asking, "Chanchan, how much of the immortal medicine in your body have you refined?"

"I've only refined a little..."

When Zhu Chanchan said this, she suddenly realized something and looked at him in disbelief, asking, "Have you remembered me?"

Xu Ying nodded and said, "I just remembered a little bit when I came back from Wuling. Why has your cultivation stopped progressing? You should have refined the immortal medicine in your body by now."

"I need to suppress my cultivation, practice the method, and then unify the cultivation and qi refining methods."

Zhu Chanchan sighed and said, "I found that the immortal medicine I stole from the Douluo Palace seems insufficient to support my ascension to immortality. In the cultivation method of my era, I didn't discover the six secrets of the human body. And the immortal medicine I stole from the Douluo Palace seems to only elevate the heart power to the level of immortality. Even if I refine the immortal medicine completely, I won't be able to withstand the Tribulation Crossing."

She straightened up, her eyes flickering, and said, "During the time you disappeared, I was determined to open the human body's secrets and cultivate both qi and power. But my cultivation has already reached the level of Heavy Building, and I suddenly discovered something."

Her expression turned serious as she said, "I can't open the human body's secrets."

Xu Ying smiled and said, "You don't have the Dragon Seeking Technique, so naturally you can't open the human body's secrets."

Zhu Chanchan shook her head and said, "You lost several volumes of the Dragon Seeking Technique in the belly of the giant snake. I can enter the belly of the snake at any time and see these classics. I am also very intelligent, so it's not difficult for me to find these secrets. But even after finding the secrets, I still can't open them."

Xu Ying was completely puzzled.

Zhu Chanchan sat down in frustration, and behind her, a young lady flew out - her primordial spirit, radiating a brilliant divine light, exuding an imposing aura. She reached out and grabbed Xu Ying's hand.

Xu Ying felt his body move involuntarily and followed her as they flew up.

Looking down, he saw another version of himself on the ground, shining brightly and dazzlingly.

"Huh? I grabbed the wrong one. How did I pull out the physical body?"

Zhu Chanchan muttered in frustration, pushed Xu Ying down, and grabbed the hand of Xu Ying's soul, then flew into the back of her own physical body.

Xu Ying's physical body sat on the ground, motionless.

The two of them first arrived at the Chaotic Sea.

Even with Xu Ying's powerful soul and Zhu Chanchan's strong primordial spirit, they were still suppressed by the surging Chaotic Sea. This Chaotic Sea was countless times larger than Xu Ying's Chaotic Sea, and the Chaotic Mud Pill was like a huge celestial body, sitting in the center of the Chaotic Sea!

Their gaze fell on it, and they felt an indescribable sense of distortion and an infinite fall into the Chaotic Mud Pill, causing extreme discomfort!

Zhu Chanchan's primordial spirit grabbed Xu Ying's hand, and her clothes fluttered in the wind as they flew over the vast and boundless Chaotic Sea, filled with chaotic noise that made it impossible to concentrate.

Zhu Chanchan shouted, "Even with my strongest divine power, I can't open this Chaotic Mud Pill! As my cultivation level increases, the Chaotic Mud Pill also continues to grow! When my primordial spirit was just formed, the Chaotic Mud Pill had already pressed down the Chaotic Sea! Now, it's dozens of times larger than before!"

Following her, Xu Ying flew away from the Chaotic Mud Pill, feeling his heart pounding as they flew over the Chaotic Sea.

They passed through the twelve Heavy Buildings and arrived at the Heart Yue Immortal Mountain, entering the heart chamber in the mountain and finding the secrets of the Vermilion Palace.

The Douluo Immortal Fire blazed in the Vermilion Palace, and any divine power here was difficult to maintain, and Dao images would be burned to ashes. It was much more difficult to open than the Crossing Period, by many orders of magnitude.

They then arrived at the secrets of the Yellow Court and the Jade Pool, and the difficulty of opening these two secrets had also increased many times. The profound and heavy energy of the Vermilion Palace suppressed countless heavenly worlds, and the solidified green energy of the Jade Pool made it almost impossible to open!

The two of them stopped outside the Jade Pool's secrets, and Zhu Chanchan sighed, "The villain has blocked the path to ascension. To ascend, it's not enough to rely on the immortal medicine from the Douluo Palace alone; I also need the immortal medicine from the other five immortal palaces. I can't spend thirty thousand years stealing the immortal medicine from the other immortal palaces, so the simplest way is to open the six secrets of the human body. But the higher the cultivation, the harder it is to open the six secrets."Xu Ying was lost in thought, suddenly thinking of a terrible possibility: "If I cultivate to the Ascension stage, can I still open the six secrets?"

Zhu Chanchan shook her head and said, "I have cultivated to the Heavy Building realm. Even if I use the strongest supernatural powers, I can't open the secrets. I have to find the magic weapon I left behind in order to open the secrets. Even if I cultivate to the Ascension stage, I won't be able to open them, even if I use the magic weapon I refined for Zhoutianzi."

Xu Ying's eyes lit up. "I understand the reason why the owner of the Mud Pill Palace set up a trap to devour people! He is a Qi Refiner at the Ascension stage. He thinks he doesn't have enough power to ascend, and he can't open his own body's secrets. His cultivation and strength cannot progress any further, so he set up a trap, spread the method, and let others help him cultivate the secrets!"

Zhu Chanchan said, "But he only spread the cultivation method of the Mud Pill secret..."

She realized, "Are you saying that the inheritance of the six secrets of the human body, the inheritance of the six secret treasures, he spread them all! He not only harvested the Mud Pill, but also the Vermilion Palace, the Yellow Court, the Jade Pool, the Jade Capital, and the Gushing Spring, he wants to harvest them all!"

Zhu Chanchan took a sharp breath and murmured, "This kid is so ruthless... If my junior brother is still alive, does that mean he is also so ruthless?"

She found it hard to believe.

Xu Ying pondered, "There is something strange. Six months ago, when I opened the Yellow Court secret, and harvested the divine medicine for the mind, I didn't feel like I was being watched. This can only mean one thing: the owner of the Yellow Court had already set his sights on the previous three owners of my secrets!"

He paused and said, "This person has already set his sights on me, there is no need to do it again. I don't know if Yuan Weiyang has completed the induction of the Yuan Dao. If she hasn't completed it, her ancestor Yuan Wuji is in danger."

He recalled Yuan Weiyang, and in his mind, he always saw Yuan Rushi, so he stubbornly believed that Yuan Weiyang was the girl who made him eat rouge.

At this time, someone came up the mountain, a young man who bowed and said, "Is it Senior Xu Ying? My master asked me to invite you."

Xu Ying asked in confusion, "Who is your master?"

The young man said, "Xu Fu."
