I have a Taoist temple that connects me to other worlds

"Perhaps, the Palace Master already knew the ending when he was doing that. After all, with the Palace Master's half-sage realm back then, he could have escaped even if he couldn't defeat a Saint. To be able to enter here, he must have been willing," Jiang Wen slowly explained, causing Zhen Yangzi to nod in agreement.

"You little娃娃are really smart. This old man indeed came in willingly. After what happened last night, this old man knew that he had made a big mistake," Zhen Yangzi sighed. "But even if I were to make the same mistake a thousand or ten thousand times, I would still do it."

"To be honest, this junior is actually very curious about what mistake the Palace Master made back then?" Jiang Wen was really curious about what Zhen Yangzi did to be stripped of his position as Palace Master.

It's no wonder he was curious, after all, the position of Palace Master of the Tai Shen Palace is extraordinary. To be publicly deprived of it, the mistake committed must have been significant.

"This matter, ah, is a long story," Zhen Yangzi sighed faintly.

He stroked his beard and looked up at the sky, recounting the past.

He was once the pride of the Tai Shen Palace, once listed among the leaders of the hundred families of the Immortal Sect. He had闯过荒地,诛杀过邪魅外道. He had除魔卫道, enjoying himself for a hundred years.

Later, Zhen Yangzi met a woman. That woman was lying weakly in the wilderness, and he was the one who saved her.

That woman was very beautiful, even Zhen Yangzi, who had cultivated for many years, was moved by her.

"She said that she was a descendant of Tai Cang, a descendant of the legendary Tai Cang Heavenly King. She was born to subvert Da Qian and rebuild Tai Cang," Zhen Yangzi sighed. "She spared me out of old affection. She said that if I blamed her, she would have no regrets."

"I asked her if she had ever been in love, and she said yes. At that time, I didn't resent her for deceiving me."

"..." Jiang Wen was silent, glancing sideways at Zhen Yangzi. He didn't expect this old man to have such a love-struck side, which was not in line with his demeanor of an expert.

"If it's just like this, it wouldn't be considered a big mistake, right?" Jiang Wen said.

"Yes, if it were just like this, this old man wouldn't have been imprisoned here," Zhen Yangzi shook his head and sighed. "I looked for her after she disappeared, but I never saw her in hundreds of years. I thought I would never see her again after that, but unexpectedly, I still encountered her by accident."

"At that time, she was seriously injured, and she didn't say who injured her. I tried all means but couldn't save her. That woman told me not to save her, and she took me to a place."

"There, I saw my daughter—a monster sealed in jade."

Speaking of this, Zhen Yangzi's face showed some pain. The past was like a nightmare, haunting him to this day.

"Do you know? I couldn't believe that was my daughter. She was a demon, a born evil creature. I asked that woman what was going on. That woman told me that because she was a descendant of Tai Cang, her bloodline was cursed by fate. The descendants of Tai Cang can never become human beings, they can only survive in the world as demons. Until they finally lose their minds and turn into monsters."

Jiang Wen frowned when he heard this. From Zhen Yangzi's words, he realized that the reason why the descendants of the Jiang family turned into monsters seemed not only due to the 化妖, but also沾上了人道天命.

However, he did not interrupt Zhen Yangzi's memories, but sat aside and listened quietly.

"That child was the bloodline of me and her. She didn't want me to see the child in such a hateful state. But she was dying, so she had to find me."

"She asked me to take good care of our child, and kill the child if the child completely turned into a demon. I carried her body back to the帝都and buried her in the Black Mountain. And for my child, I broke into the帝宫to夺取了人道天命, and turned that child into a human."

"You夺去了人道天命?" Jiang Wen was stunned. He had never thought that人道天命could be夺去.

"Yes, this old man夺去了天命. That's why Master punished this old man," Zhen Yangzi哼哼said. "But for this old man's child,夺个天命is not a big deal."

"I heard that天命is only held by the Human Emperor, how did you夺取天命?" Jiang Wen looked at Zhen Yangzi and asked in confusion.

"Haha, this matter, ah," Zhen Yangzi was a little proud. "This old man is a direct descendant of the Li family. Since the Emperor can hold天命, this old man can naturally hold it too. My brother ascended the throne of the Emperor, this old man just borrowed the position of the Emperor for a few days."

...Jiang Wen heard this secret and exclaimed in disbelief. He didn't expect that this不正经old man was actually a member of the Da Qian Li family. Listening to his words, it seemed that he had rebelled, overthrown the Emperor at that time, and then became the Emperor himself, and then夺取了天命.

This Zhen Yangzi is really amazing. He has done such a big thing, no wonder he was imprisoned in the Tai Shen Secret Vault. Even the Tai Shen Palace would not record his deeds, after all, no one would write about a traitor.

"Alas. This old man just borrowed天命to save his child," Zhen Yangzi sighed. "I don't know if my宝贝daughter is still well now. Master also promised this old man that he would take good care of her."

"I wonder what the Palace Master's daughter is called?" Jiang Wen was very concerned about the descendants of the Tai Cang Jiang family, and also wanted to know how this Jiang family descendant was doing now. He had never heard of such a person in the Tai Shen Palace.

"This old man's daughter, ah, she is called Jiang Zhi," Zhen Yangzi smiled. "This old man only hopes that she can live a safe and peaceful life, living a life of男耕女织. Speaking of which,小子, do you know how my daughter is doing in the Tai Shen Palace now?"

"Jiang Zhi?" When Jiang Wen heard this name, he felt that the缘因际会in the world was really wonderful. He never thought that Jiang Zhi was actually the daughter of this Zhen Yangzi, and also inherited the bloodline of the Da Qian Li family.

"What? Have you met my daughter?" Hearing Jiang Wen's words, Zhen Yangzi became interested. He leaned over to look at him, and asked expectantly, "My Master should have taken good care of my daughter, right?"

"This..." Jiang Wen opened his mouth and was speechless, not knowing where to start.

Seeing his expression, Zhen Yangzi's originally expectant expression slowly calmed down. He stared at Jiang Wen, with a few traces of seriousness in his eyes: "You must know my daughter, how is she doing now?"

"...Palace Master, do you want to hear the truth?" Jiang Wen sighed and asked.

"Speak, this old man just wants to know if that girl is doing well," Zhen Yangzi said calmly.

"This matter, this junior has to slowly tell you..." Jiang Wen told Zhen Yangzi everything from when he met Chi Yao, telling him every detail about Jiang Zhi.

The old man's originally cheerful and optimistic face gradually gathered anger.

When he heard the moment of his daughter's tragic death, the Saint's anger erupted.

"Old匹夫! How dare you deceive me!"

The Tai Shen Palace Secret Vault shook, and thousands of stars trembled.
