This could not be possible!
Everyone watched in disbelief at the unfathomable spectacle before them. How could there be two Hua Youyues?
Even Yang Zhen, who had somewhat mentally prepared himself, was nearly shocked out of his wits.
The person returning his gaze actually turned out to be Hua Youyue. Both of them looked identical. However, the terrifying aura radiating from them was different.
From Hua Youyue standing on Bone Mountain, an intimidating aura emanated, vast and insurmountable—very much like the awe of heaven. Even Yang Zhen couldn’t bear to look directly. This was a suppressive power of level, a formidable force emerging solely from raw strength!
Yang Zhen and Mo Xueling exchanged glances; they both saw the disbelief mirrored in each other’s eyes.
Especially Mo Xueling, who shrieked and clasped her mouth tightly shut, cast an incredulous look at Yang Zhen, and asked, “What the hell is going on? That person… She looks exactly like our Junior Sister Hua!”
How could Yang Zhen explain it? For now, they could only wait. Moreover, he was firmly convinced that the Hua Youyue on Bone Mountain wasn’t Hua Youyue disguised using some trick.
One could change a person’s appearance or even body shape—Yang Zhen could do that using his Thousand Faces ability. However, temperament-something that is inherent and gradually formed over time due to a person’s life circumstances-was something that could not be changed. Even identical twins, who share a special bond, could not have identical temperaments.
Yet… the two Hua Youyues had identical temperaments!
“What’s going on here?”
Among the crowd, every single Practitioner who could still muster the strength to raise his head to gaze upon Bone Mountain was left dumbfounded and shocked, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Those seemingly deep and profound words: ‘You’re here,’ already left everyone in a state of shock. But now that another Hua Youyue had appeared before them, everyone was completely dismayed.
This was a moment of inheritance without a doubt!
When Hua Youyue moved towards Bone Mountain, a path to the peak appeared before her, lined with petals from the sky—this wasn’t wrong either!
Upon witnessing this scene, everyone understood that the beneficiary of this grand inheritance had emerged. Among those present, only Hua Youyue was the lucky one who could potentially receive this inheritance.
No one expected another Hua Youyue to suddenly emerge at the top of Bone Mountain.
“Who are you?” Hua Youyue’s voice echoed from Bone Mountain, spreading to the ears of every practitioner present.
Yang Zhen shuddered, his gaze vacillating between the two Hua Youyues.
The silhouette on Bone Mountain seemed to be examining Hua Youyue. Upon hearing her, the silhouette sighed and said, “I am you, and you are me!” “Impossible!” Hua Youyue’s expression changed. She gazed intently at the other person, and asked again, “Who… are you really?”
A hint of befuddlement flickered in the person’s eyes, which roamed towards the foothills. Everyone caught within her gaze felt a chill run down their spines. Finally, her gaze fell on Yang Zhen, lingering for a moment before drifting back to Hua Youyue’s face.
The hoodlum cat caught a chill, quickly scuttled over to Yang Zhen, and whisperingly said, “Damn, lad, things aren’t looking good!”
“No shit!” Yang Zhen retorted without turning his head. In this situation, anyone could see that things were going south.
At that moment, the person on Bone Mountain abruptly spoke, I m not lying to you. I am you. You’ll understand soon.”
Without waiting for Hua Youyue to speak again, the person swung her hand and the world shook, a bright light beamed out of Bone Mountain. Right between them, a terrifying pillar of light soared high into the sky, with complicated inscriptions filling the heavens. This force of power, comparable to a heavenly tribulation, spun around rapidly like a storm, billowing and overwhelming within the blink of an eye.
Rumble—!
Thunderous rumbles echoed in the sky and an invisible wave that was like the throbbing of the earth was unleashed in all directions.
Even the slightest vibration made everyone’s expressions change drastically.
This was the power of Heaven and Earth!
With a wave of her hand, Hua Youyue on Bone Mountain changed the color of Heaven and Earth. Concurrently, the other Hua Youyue trembled before growing progressively dazed.
“The time has come. I’ve waited ten thousand years. If you don’t come, all will
be in vain,” said she.
Hua Youyue responded with a stern face, “There’s a sense of familiarity. Is this my inheritance?”
Hua Youyue from Bone Mountain shook her head, “This is our inheritance.
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
The Saint’s inheritance?
What exactly was going on? Had the Hua Youyue of Bone Mountain been waiting for ten thousand years?
At this thought, Yang Zhen was utterly shaken.
Ten thousand years? Did that imply that this Bone Mountain had existed since the time of the great catastrophe?
Hua Youyue’s voice rang out again, asking, “What will happen to me?” “Sanhua will return to its position, and become a Saint,” replied Hua Youyue from Bone Mountain.
A Saint!
Everyone took a sharp breath and looked at Hua Youyue in confusion. Most people had jealous expressions on their faces, yet they understood that apart from Hua Youyue, it was unlikely anyone else could replace her.
Even Yang Zhen watched Hua Youyue with a strange expression, feeling both happy for her and gravely concerned.
This was indeed the inheritance of a Great Saint. Once Hua Youyue received the inheritance and she could indeed become a Saint as predicted by Bone Mountain’s Hua Youyue, it would not be a bad thing.
But somehow, Yang Zhen had this ominous premonition. It was unexpected and rendered him a little hesitant. He looked at Hua Youyue on Bone Mountain, but could not figure out where the unease was coming from.
The Tri-Floral Return to Position?
Thinking about this, Yang Zhen felt a surge of unease. His face turned pale.
“You and I were once one. Due to some happenings, we were forced to separate. The Great Catastrophe has passed for ten millenniums, it is time to return, said the Hua Youyue from Bone Mountain, deepening Yang Zhen’s uneasy feeling.
Under everyone’s watchful gaze, the figure of Bone Mountain’s Hua Youyue started to become illusory, indistinguishably between the real and unreal whilst slowly approached Hua Youyue.
Seeing the phantom figure advancing, she shivered from head to toe, her face quickly turned pale. She turned her eyes to look at Yang Zhen. Regret, sorrow, grievance, and pain—countless emotions flashed through her eyes that once outshone the heavens and the earth, making Yang Zhen’s heart ache.
Before Yang Zhen could utter a word, Hua Youyue’s voice echoed softly, “After the Tri-Floral Return to Position, will you still be you?”
Bone Mountain’s Hua Youyue went rigid, staring at Hua Youyue in surprise.
Hua Youyue turned her head back, smiled plaintively, and asked again, “Will I still be me?”
Bone Mountain’s Hua Youyue was once again taken aback, a hint of confusion and struggle appeared on her face.
“No, it’s not. You’re not you. I’m not me. We… are only her.” Hua Youyue’s lively eyes gradually lost all color. She turned back to gaze at Yang Zhen and gave him a beautiful smile. For a moment, the entire world dimmed.
That smile outshone the world.
That smile was filled with the chill of sorrow amidst its beauty.
Yang Zhen watched, still perplexed. The unease in his heart erupted suddenly. All of a sudden, the hoodlum cat yowled, “Sanhua Saintess. The lass is Sanhua Saintess. Quick, lad, stop her! Otherwise, once Sanhua Returns to Position, the lass would vanish!”
“Vanish?” Yang Zhen trembled, staring at the hoodlum cat, “Explain what you mean by vanished!”
