But just at this moment, Su Tingyun seems to hear a whimpering sound. Her Springwater Sword continues to vibrate incessantly, and the red glow within the sword ceases its movement, freezing at the tip of the blade, as if it wants to fly out of the sword and enter the cracked eggshell.

Su Tingyun suddenly understands.

She has a spiritual connection with the Springwater Sword, and all the strange emotions she had just experienced actually came from the sword. The ring has already informed her with the emphasis on the golden glow, and she just failed to realize it.

Could it be that the red glow that moves like a swimming dragon within the Springwater Sword was the newly born baby dragon inside the eggshell?

As if to respond to her thoughts, the Springwater Sword trembles, emitting a buzzing sound. At this moment, the sound that reaches her ears resembles a faint dragon roar.

Upon hearing this sound, it clicks in Su Tingyun's mind.

The red glow in the Spring Water Sword is clearly not a complete dragon soul. It probably only contains a trace of weak consciousness; otherwise, she will surely be able to sense it. In other words, the complete dragon soul should exist somewhere else, perhaps in close proximity to the location of the Springwater Sword.

She obtained the sword at the bottom of the Cleansing Sword Lake.

There is a seal at the bottom of the Cleansing Sword Lake, similar to the seal in Sealed Heaven Border.

The Sealed Heaven Border was trapping Big Bai, so what was sealed in the Cleansing Sword Lake? Could it be a dragon? A newly born hatchling that has yet to witness the beauty of the world, sealed at the bottom of the Cleansing Sword Lake: just like Big Bai, who was trapped in Sealed Heaven Border soon after birth?

Was it the same person?

Were they both members of the Obliteration Sword Tower?

Among the ancestors of the Obliteration Sword Tower, was there once such an exceedingly evil person? After all, Su Tingyun feels that someone who would cruelly seal a newborn life and raise it into a murderous creature can’t possibly be a good person.

Regardless, she makes up her mind to thoroughly investigate the historical records of the Obliteration Sword Tower and carefully study the names inscribed on the obelisk.

Suddenly, a name crosses her mind—the four characters that have been struck out. Su Tingyun has a faint guess in her heart that this individual’s name seems to have been erased, probably due to committing an unforgivable offense and being expelled from the Obliteration Sword Tower.

Therefore, that villain is very likely the same person.

Su Tingyun holds the eggshell and places it within the Space inside the ring. For the corpse, the dead dragon had dedicated its life to guarding the snow lotus, so she didn't take it with her. Instead, she carefully gathers the remains together and tells the snow lotus, "This one died protecting you. Let the wind and snow bury it."

The snowstorm continues unabated, and before long, the dragon's remains are completely covered. This time, there are no more perpetually open eyes. Its body slowly disappears, eventually merging completely into the snowy mountain.

Su Tingyun sighs and starts walking back. After taking a few steps, Big Bai leaps back and swallows her in one gulp, saying, "Granny, are we going back now?"

"Mm, first we'll go to the foot of Kunlun Mountain to pick up Yin Li, and then we'll visit the Wanjian Sect to check something."

There is a renowned spiritual spring at the back of Wanjian Sect's mountain. She wonders if the ring would be interested in it, so she plans to secretly go and take a look.

"Okay, chirp," Big Bai says and then proudly presents something, "Granny, I just dug up a lot of beautiful red stones in the snow."

Little Bai: "I told you, those aren't red stones. They're the frozen bones of the dead spiritual beasts." And at the end, Little Bai adds, "Granny, I arranged those red stones in a circle around you."

Goosebumps rise all over Su Tingyun's body.

She can’t perceive the spiritual beasts with her divine sense. Even though her cultivation level is high, there is still a gap in her divine sense, so she can’t see those red remains. Naturally, she has no idea that while she’s sitting inside Big Bai's belly, she’s surrounded by a circle of red corpses. It’s quite embarrassing.

"They look so pretty. I made a flower wreath," Big Bai says in the same happy tone.

Su Tingyun forces a smile and stands up, preparing to change her position. Just as she lifts her foot though, she hears Big Bai say, "Granny, be careful. You might step on the flower wreath I arranged for you."

You little brat, let me out, and I promise not to beat you to death!
