The Xuan Realm enchanted Ji Shiyou; it was the most beautiful place he had ever seen.
It was also the most harmonious and comfortable place he had ever encountered.
Excited, he wanted to summon a beam of moonlight to add color to the scenery before him.
But he discovered that his cultivation within his body was completely gone, and he was greatly alarmed.
"Ji Shiyou, what's wrong?"
Mingyue quickly grabbed Ji Shiyou, whose face had changed drastically, and asked the reason.
"Mingyue, my cultivation is gone. How are you?"
Ji Shiyou calmed himself and said to Mingyue.
"Cultivation, it's still here?
Uncle, what is going on?
Why is Ji Shiyou's cultivation gone, but mine is still here?"
Mingyue tested her spiritual sense.
Her cultivation was not affected, so she could only ask Yue Zan.
"Don't worry, I forgot to tell you.
The Xuan Realm does not belong to the Three Thousand Great Worlds, and the rules of the Heavenly Dao.
They don't work here, which is why his cultivation disappeared.
Here, he is just an ordinary person.
It will be restored when you return to your world."
Yue Zan looked at the two and said calmly.
"Then why wasn't I affected?"
Mingyue felt around and found that the rules here.
Indeed, they were different from the Heavenly Dao, and even the Heavenly Dao Disk was silent and unreachable.
Moreover, looking at the sky, there were no sun, moon, or stars.
No wonder Ji Shiyou lost all his cultivation, but her witchcraft was still there.
She couldn't help but wonder why.
"That's because, within your body.
You have half of the Xuan Realm's bloodline, so you are not affected.
I'm worried about your mother, let's go home quickly."
Yue Zan, concerned about his sister, didn't say more. With a wave of his hand, the figures of the three disappeared from their original spot.
When they reappeared, they were already in the Xuan Tian Palace where the Realm Lord resided.
"Anan is in that room. She refuses to see me.
You two go in yourselves. After you cure her, I will send you away."
Yue Zan stopped in front of Ming Ya Nan's room. He wanted to go in and see his sister.
He had already stepped one leg over the threshold, but hesitated and then withdrew it.
"Uncle, you and my mother are of the same flesh and blood.
I believe she will forgive you if you admit your mistakes.
Remember, family affection can overcome everything, as long as you face it.
But if you cannot face your mistakes, you might lose this opportunity.
I've said what I needed to say. It's up to you whether you come in or not.
I'm anxious to see my mother, so I'm going in."
After Mingyue finished speaking, she stepped into the room, and Ji Shiyou followed closely behind.
The two walked through the front reception hall and directly into the bedroom behind it.
They saw a person lying on the bed, emaciated to the bone and gaunt.
Her sparse white hair was scattered by the pillow, and her face was covered in wrinkles.
Her body was reduced to bones, seemingly unable to bear the weight of the quilt.
"Mom! I'm here!"
Seeing Ming Ya Nan like this, Mingyue felt a pang of sorrow.
The mother in her memory was young and beautiful.
Even though she knew Ming Ya Nan was critically ill, she never expected her to become like this.
After all, Ming Ya Nan was only in her early forties.
Moreover, Yue Zan had said that people of the Xuan Realm were descendants of chaos.
They shared the same bloodline as the saints, originating from the same place.
They were different from the humans created by Nuwa from clay in the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
Although their lifespans were not immortal, they could at least live for three hundred years.
Yue Zan looked young, but he was already over sixty.
If Ming Ya Nan had not been constantly depressed, missing herself and He Si,
and had not exhausted her life force and severed her vitality, how could she have become like this?
"Mingyue, my daughter, is that you?
You've come to see me? Am I dreaming?"
Ming Ya Nan on the bed heard Mingyue's call and slowly opened her eyes.
Although they hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, due to the bond of blood.
She immediately recognized the person before her as her daughter.
She was the sweet and soft little Mingyue who used to follow her.
And call her "Mom" sweetly, now grown up.
Ming Ya Nan struggled to lift her bony hand, wanting to touch her daughter.
But now, she didn't even have the strength to lift her hand.
Using all her might, she only managed to move her fingers a few times before she was so tired that sweat beaded on her forehead.
"Mom!"
Mingyue knelt by the bed, holding Ming Ya Nan's hand.
She placed it on her own face and suddenly burst into tears.
According to Mingyue's personality, she wouldn't act like this.
Moreover, strictly speaking, Ming Ya Nan was not her biological mother.
But at this moment, Mingyue's heart was filled with grievances, longing, and heartache, and she just wanted to cry.
Perhaps it was carrying the emotions of the original owner, perhaps it was due to being moved.
Perhaps in her heart, she had long regarded He Si and Ming Ya Nan.
As family, as her own parents.
"It's not a dream. It's warm.
Good child, my treasure.
Don't cry, Mom has finally waited for this day.
I'm so happy to see you before I die.
Do you know? Mom knows she's going to die.
I've been holding on with the hope that a miracle would happen.
To see you and your father one last time before I die.
I thought the miracle wouldn't happen, but I've really seen you.
Your uncle brought you, right? I knew he cared about me.
He hates your father, so he didn't bring him, did he?
Tell him I forgive him.
I used to hate him, but I'm dying now.
I don't want to leave with hatred for my own brother, nor do I want him to feel guilty after my death.
I forgive him. Everything he did.
Was also to protect me, but he didn't consider my feelings."
Ming Ya Nan stroked Mingyue's face, her spirit miraculously improved.
Her face was radiant, and her eyes sparkled.
She spoke a long passage without pausing.
It was like a final burst of energy before death.
Mingyue immediately realized something was wrong; this was a deathbed resurgence.
Ming Ya Nan's life was about to end.
"Sister, I was wrong!
I'm sorry, I'm the one who caused you to be like this.
You can still forgive me and still consider me.
I don't deserve to be your brother, I don't deserve it!"
Yue Zan rushed in from outside and threw himself onto the bed.
Hugging Ming Ya Nan, he cried uncontrollably, tears streaming down his face.
While crying, he slapped himself.
He had listened to Mingyue's words and considered them before coming in.
Hearing his sister's words, he felt even more ashamed.
He thought about how his own arrogance had almost led to the ruin of his sister's family.
He was filled with self-reproach and rushed to Ming Ya Nan, apologizing profusely.
"Ji Shiyou, pull him away.
Mom's life force is almost depleted, I need to save her quickly."
Mingyue wiped the tears from her face and rolled her eyes at Yue Zan.
She thought to herself, can't this uncle of hers see that her mother is dying?
And he's still in the way, and he's the Lord of the Xuan Realm, with no brains! She was also fortunate that her cultivation was not restricted in the Xuan Realm.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to open space and retrieve the Water of Life.
"Mom, you won't die. Dad is still waiting for you to come home.
Drink this, and then sleep.
I promise you'll wake up with your youth restored, beautiful as a flower."
Mingyue took out the jade bottle containing the Water of Life, uncorked it, and gave it to Ming Ya Nan to drink.
"Is it working?"
Yue Zan asked anxiously and eagerly.
After hearing Mingyue's words, he didn't wait for Ji Shiyou to pull him away.
He quickly got up and gave Mingyue space.
"Uncle, don't worry. Mom's life force has been restored.
Let her sleep, and she will absorb all the Water of Life, and then she will return to her former state.
Let's go out first and not disturb her."
Mingyue enveloped Ming Ya Nan's entire body with her spiritual sense and then said with complete reassurance.
In fact, when Ji Shiyou's cultivation was restricted earlier.
She had felt a little uneasy because she suddenly thought.
The rules of the Xuan Realm were different, what if the Water of Life became ineffective?
But now, it seemed her worries had not come true.
"Uncle, I have something to ask you.
You must answer truthfully. In the Xuan Realm.
Why is there Chaos Qi similar to that of the gray-clothed men?"
The three returned to the front hall, and Mingyue suddenly became stern and said to Yue Zan.
