Chapter 382: The Origin Projector

The origin’s sudden antics left even You You’s group stunned, not to mention the female cultivators.

You You grew worried and attempted to summon the origin from Feng Rong’s body again, but received no response. It seemed terrified of being abandoned, stubbornly clinging to Feng Rong without any intention of leaving.

Seeing no immediate harm to Feng Rong, the trio reluctantly set the matter aside, planning to address it after returning to the Six Realms. Yet questions remained about the origin’s emergence and the Long Clan’s involvement.

After Feng Rong neutralized the Demonic Energy, the headmaster and cultivators ceased hostilities, watching them with hopeful yet wary eyes. Seizing the moment, You You revealed they came from another world and questioned them about ancient history – particularly when she recognized the whip-like divine artifact. This weapon had been forged by Xuan Ling for a Sect disciple before her injury and departure to Sister Jing’s world.

The Jingling Institute’s knowledge proved limited. Though initiates learned of their ancient duty to purify the Sin Clan’s energies of sin using the Holy Spirit during grand ceremonies, generations of lost records left only fragmented legends. The recent appearance of six Bone Dragons in their heavenly punishment prison had strained their resources, requiring repeated ceremonies to cleanse the sudden surge of black mist.

"The texts say Sin Clans arrive through Holy Spirit summoning to atone," the headmaster explained, eyeing You You uncertainly. "But six at once? And after centuries dormant, the Holy Spirit grew restless recently – we barely prevented it escaping our institute."

The trio immediately understood. You You’s awakening as Realm Master had stirred the origin, which now sought to return to her. When Yuan Qi confirmed the cultivators knew nothing of their formations’ origins beyond "ancient legacy", You You turned to Feng Rong’s glowing chest.

"Little golden orb," she addressed the origin through Feng Rong’s body, "show me this world’s truth." Golden light erupted, dissolving their surroundings into an illusionary realm.

Before the World-destroying Calamity, the vision revealed: shattered floating peaks, blood-soaked ground, and dragon roars shaking the sky. A child version of You You stood besieged – barely five years old, clutching a sword while bloodied female cultivators maintained a crumbling formation. This was the Long Clan’s attack on Xuan Ling’s Sect, back when a young You You helped establish the last human sanctuary, Xinghuo Sect. Their hopeful spark against impending doom… moments before it was extinguished.
