Chapter 597
Chapter Title: Dark Heaven Village
Nine Heavens Celestial Maiden!
Among all the Great Lao Immortals of the Heavenly Realm, she stood unparalleled, nearly at the pinnacle. I had once laid eyes on the Nine Heavens Celestial Maiden in my past life. She had appeared in a form of transcendent beauty that inspired awe, a master of the Sea of Time Arts and the former teacher of Zhixian Mangguang.
I also recalled that she served as the right hand of the Queen Mother of the West, yet she was constantly tormented and puzzled by the Queen Mother's true intentions. She had tasked her disciple and subordinates with probing the Queen Mother's true intentions, but most were assassinated by mysterious entities. That was why Zhixian Mangguang, possessing reincarnation abilities like me, had passed on his memories and experiences, hoping I would uncover the Queen Mother's truth and the Heavenly Realm's hidden machinations.
As I recalled what I knew of the Nine Heavens Celestial Maiden from my past life, Fire Dragon True Person continued.
[The Nine Heavens Celestial Maiden currently oversees the immortals who have ascended through the Ascension Gate and trains them in sorcery as the Great Lao Immortal Overseer. But in ancient times, she was a War God who fought the Giant Race directly. She is one of the most proficient in combat sorcery in the Heavenly Realm and the world's greatest master of military strategy.]
"Hmm... That's right."
Zhixian Mangguang had studied directly under her, so he had learned much of her sorcery. The Nine Heavens Celestial Maiden knew sorceries so vast and powerful that human sorcerers couldn't even imagine them—totaling a staggering 369,000 variants. Most human sorcerers died without mastering even twenty, proving she transcended humanity from the start.
[I don't know what the Immortal Sword Art is exactly, but I can sense its origin linked karmically to the Nine Heavens Celestial Maiden. It must be a sorcery she created.]
