Chapter 1751: Chapter 1608: The Origin of Liu Binglan

“Found it.” Yu Suo pointed at the pattern on the book’s page, then handed it to Chu Mu to see.

The pattern was a miniature depiction of the Array Valley diagram. The first Array Valley diagram was fiery red, and the edges of the pattern were outlined with the silhouette of a fox!

“The Fallen Flame Emperor of the Seven Sins Fox. This is the Flaming Valley, located within the Flame Secret Realm,” Yu Suo explained to Chu Mu.

“Where exactly is the Flame Secret Realm?” Chu Mu asked.

“It’s the ancient site of the Elemental Sect, as well as a secret location of the Fire Sect. The general area should be at the eastern end of Struggle Land,” Yu Suo replied.

Yu Suo flipped to the next page. The book now displayed a purple Array Valley pattern. Chu Mu was already quite familiar with its general outline, as it resembled the Thunder Valley where Mu Qingyi had taken them.

“Was the curse of the Seven Sins Fox truly imposed by your Totem Temple?” Chu Mu looked at the seven diagrams in total, his heart stirring with emotion.

The Seven Sins Fox had once been incredibly glorious. The Light King and Dark King were even hailed as the highest-ranked beings in terms of species ranking. Who could guarantee they weren’t as prosperous as today’s great races tens of thousands of years ago?

But why would they bear such a heavy racial shackle? The Totem Temple’s believers capable of setting up these diagrams must possess immense power to create such enormous Array Valleys, causing the Seven Sins Fox to endure this curse for generations.

Chu Mu had always been covertly pursuing the mystery behind the sealing of the Seven Sins Fox. Still, he would never have imagined that such a Heavenly Palace Temple exists in this world—aloft above the Mortal World, wielding the frightful power to bring down a mighty race and impose a millennia-long curse instantly!

The people of the Heavenly Palace, could they truly be the dominators of all things, akin to gods?

For reasons unknown, Chu Mu felt a chill.

“Does it explain the reason behind the curse?” Chu Mu inquired.

Yu Suo shook her head and said, “The Heavenly Palace wouldn’t disclose such grand matters casually. Most of the books I have are merely indexes. Only if I eagerly ask the Totem Goddess will she possibly reveal the answer.”

“Then what else is mentioned here?” Chu Mu continued to ask.

Had a thriving race fallen to become Sin Foxes because the Seven Sins Fox race offended the Heavenly Palace?

“The Fallen Flame Emperor, Thunder Fury King, Wind Mourning Monarch, Rock Fox Emperor, Water Fox Emperor, Dark King Shang, and Light Radiance Fox King—the seven original Demon Foxes defied the laws of the Heavenly Palace, went against the natural order, and attempted to overthrow the world… hence labeled as Sin Foxes!” Yu Suo read aloud.

“What defiance of the Heavenly Laws, what violation of the natural order?” Chu Mu was perplexed.

What are the Heavenly Palace’s laws? What is the natural order? Could these terms also be defined solely by the Heavenly Palace?

The cycle of nature—birth, growth, decay, and death—is nothing but the survival of the fittest, harsh contests, and the cycle of life, reproduction, and demise. Violating the natural order—could it be that the Seven Sins Fox once ruled the entire realm of living beings, breaking the cyclical wheel of life?

“How coincidental—those are the same charges laid against me,” Yu Suo remarked sarcastically, mocking herself. “Such vague accusations mean nothing. To put it plainly, the Seven Sins Fox angered the Heavenly Palace, and that’s why disaster befell them. Perhaps just like what you saw with the White Sea God on the Heavenly Boundary Monument—the leader of the Seven Sins Fox might have tried to destroy the Heavenly Palace, failed, and their race bore the consequences.”

“How many strong ones are there in the Heavenly Palace?” Chu Mu asked.

The White Sea God, an Undying-level entity, failed to obliterate the Heavenly Palace. A race as mighty as the Seven Sins Fox was shackled by them, and Chu Mu increasingly found the Heavenly Palace terrifyingly formidable.

An existence like that—if they so desired—could wipe out a tiny territory like the New Moon Land effortlessly.

Thinking about how the mastermind behind the New Moon Land war was the Heavenly Palace’s Yu Tian, Chu Mu’s heart grew heavy.

If this person truly sought the annihilation of the New Moon Land, how could he possibly resist?

“The Heavenly Palace has its own set of rules. For example, Yu Tian, having descended into the Mortal World, might wish to turn the New Moon Land into his territory, but he can only achieve this goal through the various factions of the Eight Great Powers,” Yu Suo said.

“But that guy remains a threat,” Chu Mu commented.

“I’ve already set up a death trap for him…” Yu Suo said, her words laced with lethal intent.

The book didn’t go further into details about the Seven Sins Fox’s story, but it reminded Chu Mu of the eyes from the Black Fire Day.

Princess Jinrou had sketched the pattern from the Black Fire Day. Chu Mu took it out and handed it to Yu Suo, saying, “Take a look at this imprint—does it correspond to anything in the book?”

Yu Suo took it with a hint of curiosity and glanced at the pattern resembling the Seven Sins Fox imprint.

“Where did you find this imprint?” Yu Suo asked.

Chu Mu briefly described his experience at the Evil Temple to Yu Suo.

“Could it be a Black Nightmare Demon?” Chu Mu asked.

“It must be. Only a Black Nightmare Demon can survive on the Black Fire Day. The question is which era this Black Nightmare Demon is from—a corresponding explanation should be found alongside this imprint,” Yu Suo replied.

With that, Yu Suo began digging through the books on the bookshelf. This time, she wasn’t limiting herself to millennia-old texts but also looked through older ones, cross-referencing them with Princess Jinrou’s sketch of the imprint.

Yu Suo searched diligently, and it looked like it would take her some time to find a match amidst the thick pages. Chu Mu decided to rest on the nearby soft bed for a moment.

After traveling from Struggle Capital all the way to the Heavenly Palace without much rest, Chu Mu was indeed exhausted. The bed was quite comfortable—perfect for a short nap.

“It’s not here; there’s no record of it.” Yu Suo returned the book to the shelf and woke up Chu Mu, who was occupying her bed.

Chu Mu hadn’t actually fallen asleep; he was merely deep in thought.

“If that Black Nightmare Demon is indeed sealed in the Black Fire Day by the Heavenly Palace, then the Heavenly Palace is undoubtedly far too terrifying,” Chu Mu remarked.

“I remember the Totem Goddess once told me about the creature on the Black Fire Day, but it was a long, long time ago. I don’t recall the details clearly. Let me keep this imprint. If I remember something or find the answer, I’ll inform you,” Yu Suo said.

“By the way, what’s your relationship with the Totem Goddess?” Chu Mu asked.

Yu Suo wasn’t a Totem Goddess herself, yet she lived in the same place as the Totem Goddess. Judging by Yu Suo’s words, they seemed to know each other quite well.

“Since when did you become so interested in my affairs?” Yu Suo posed the question.

“Fragments of your memories often surface in my mind, like a story told in disconnected segments—it’s only natural for anyone to be curious,” Chu Mu replied.

“I’ll take you to meet her…” Yu Suo’s eyes suddenly flashed as she chuckled lightly, saying, “Oh, there’s something you should know.”

“What is it?” Chu Mu asked.

“Your beautiful mother, who loves you so dearly, is actually a member of the Hidden-Pupil Royal Family,” Yu Suo revealed.

“I already guessed that,” Chu Mu said, unfazed.

After all, Liu Binglan’s purple eyes matched those of the royal lineage, and her cultivation method differed from most.

Yet Yu Suo’s remark quickly brought forth a significant realization for Chu Mu.

If the Hidden-Pupil Royal Family is affiliated with the Heavenly Palace, then could Liu Binglan also be considered part of it?

“Doesn’t it strike you as odd why she ended up in the New Moon Land?” Yu Suo asked with curiosity, her gaze filled with intrigue.

Her question left Chu Mu speechless.

Indeed, why was she in the New Moon Land if she belonged to the Hidden-Pupil Royal Family?

Elder Liu once mentioned finding her as a baby in an icy land and adopting her as his foster daughter in the Soul Hall.

Seeing Chu Mu stunned, the mischievous smile on Yu Suo’s face grew even more devilish. She continued, “Ever wonder why I ended up in the New Moon Land?”

Looking at Yu Suo’s radiant smile, Chu Mu’s expression darkened, “Don’t tell me my mother is some secret love child of the Totem Goddess—this joke isn’t funny.”

“Your imagination sure is vivid,” Yu Suo chuckled, then explained, “Liu Binglan and the Totem Goddess might not share any blood ties, but I can confirm she’s the daughter of a highly-ranked Totem Believer. The path leading from the Heavenly Palace to the icy Di Sheng Domain is known only to a select few in the Totem Temple.”

“A space gate connects the Heavenly Palace to the Di Sheng Domain??” Chu Mu’s mind went into a whirlwind.

“Yes, a space gate exists. Otherwise, how do you think I ended up in the Di Sheng Domain? Liu Binglan probably also reached the New Moon Land via this gate. Her cultivation method differs from most, as she possesses her own Independent Cultivation Space. That’s actually the Totem Believers’ Totem Curse World. Unfortunately, no one taught her how to use it properly, and she treated this rare space as just a Soul Pet Space… such a waste. The reason you all can’t set up imprints is because you lack the specialized cultivation space Liu Binglan possesses,” Yu Suo explained.

“…” Chu Mu was dumbfounded; he hadn’t expected his mother Liu Binglan’s heritage to be so intricate. She was even part of the Totem Believers and wielded the power to craft totem imprints.

“Surprising, isn’t it?” Yu Suo said.

“A little… so, I guess that makes me somewhat related to the Heavenly Palace…” Chu Mu mused with a bitter smile.

“Also, you should know that Totem Believers actually can’t conceive children,” Yu Suo said while staring intently at Chu Mu.

Chu Mu’s eyes widened in shock.

Totem Believers can’t conceive?

Liu Binglan is a Totem Believer, which means she couldn’t have given birth to Chu Mu. Then… where did he come from?

Does this mean Liu Binglan isn’t his mother? And what about Chu Tianmang?

Chu Mu’s thoughts spiraled into confusion.

“Just kidding.” Yu Suo laughed, her voice chiming brightly and filling the room.

Chu Mu’s expression froze!

For a moment, he nearly believed her, and even questioned his own life—Yu Suo’s calm tone just now had been utterly convincing.

Chu Mu resisted the urge to toss this mischievous fox into his Soul Pet Space. Teasing him about his identity and lineage was unforgivable! (To be continued.
