Chapter 42: Something Feels Off
After "The Legend of Li Xiaojun" aired, many film companies began planning similar movies.
No one expected that such a subtly themed film could achieve such a high box office.
On Taihuang Star, at the Saint Goya Cultivation Alliance’s Taihuang branch, in the Hongxia Imperial Palace.
At this moment, a woman dressed in pajamas lay lazily on her bed, watching the movie on her phone.
If someone who knew her saw her, they would recognize her as one of the twelve great emperors of the alliance, Hongxia Empress Liu Hongxia.
Hongxia Empress was a remarkable woman of her time, alongside the Ziwei Great Emperor.
She had three sisters; the eldest had died on her quest for the Dao, while the second sister had already ascended to immortality.
As the youngest sister, she was now a great emperor in the Late Tribulation stage.
Since her second sister ascended, Liu Hongxia had started to feel a bit bored.
She usually spent her time either in seclusion, watching movies, or browsing videos and playing games, which were similar to the hobbies of ordinary people.
Finding someone like her among the entire Cultivation Alliance was quite rare.
That day, Liu Hongxia was browsing short videos.
Then, she came across a promotional clip for the movie.
["The Legend of Li Xiaojun box office surpasses 18.4 billion and will officially release today at noon on Kuchi Video Network…"]
"Li Xiaojun, that name sounds familiar…"
"A new movie with over a million at the box office? Sounds pretty good!"
Liu Hongxia glanced at the time; it was already past one in the afternoon.
By now, the movie should have been released on Kuchi Video Network.
Out of curiosity, Liu Hongxia opened the Kuchi Video Network app.
As soon as the app opened, she saw the promotional advertisement for "The Legend of Li Xiaojun."
Clicking on the advertisement took her directly to the movie.
If it were an ordinary user wanting to watch the movie, they would need to wait two days.
However, to watch it immediately, one would need to become a member of the platform.
Fortunately, Liu Hongxia was a lifetime super supreme member of Kuchi Video Network.
So when she clicked in, there were no ads, and the main film started playing right away.
On the big bed, Liu Hongxia rested on her stomach, holding her phone in one hand while propping her chin up with the other.
As the film began, it showed the main character bringing his two daughters to undergo the spirit root test.
In the movie, a little girl placed her hand on a crystal ball, and it burst forth with dazzling light.
Then, they heard countless people exclaiming, "Immortal spirit root!"
At this point, Liu Hongxia couldn’t help but laugh.
Immortal spirit root.
What a joke?
Although she was a Tribulation stage great emperor, she herself only had a Yang spirit root.
It seemed amusing to her that a child tested for an Immortal spirit root in a film made by ordinary people.
However, in the next moment, Liu Hongxia could no longer smile.
Because the Immortal Master testing the spirit root asked the girl her name, and the girl shyly replied, “I am Li Yuting…”
“Shenghui Great Emperor?”
At that moment, Liu Hongxia sat up, looking surprised at the child in the movie.
“Could it be a coincidence?”
Ordinary people might not know the name of Shenghui Great Emperor, but she was from the same era as him. She not only knew Shenghui Great Emperor’s name but had also seen him many times.
She knew that Shenghui Great Emperor was named Li Yuting.
Moreover, upon calculation, she was actually his half-sister.
“Li Xiaojun, isn’t he the father of Shenghui Great Emperor?”
At that moment, Liu Hongxia finally remembered who Li Xiaojun was.
Li Xiaojun was the father of both Shenghui Great Emperor and Ziwei Great Emperor, and even of her, Hongxia Empress.
“Could it be a coincidence?”
Liu Hongxia decided to keep watching.
“Little friend, you will be a disciple of my Biyun Xianzong in the future,” the Immortal Master smiled at six-year-old Li Yuting in the movie.
“Biyun Xianzong…”
Hearing Biyun Xianzong, Liu Hongxia’s mind exploded with excitement.
Li Xiaojun, Li Yuting, and now Biyun Xianzong—was this still a coincidence?
Liu Hongxia chose to watch further.
Eventually, the movie showed that the following year, Li Xiaojun brought another daughter for spirit root testing.
Then, Li Xiaojun’s young daughter was again found to have an Immortal spirit root.
This wasn’t surprising until the Immortal Master asked Li Xiaojun’s young daughter her name.
“I am Li Yufei!”
Upon hearing this name, Liu Hongxia’s head exploded again.
“The name of Yafei Great Emperor…”
At that moment, Liu Hongxia realized that this movie must be something extraordinary.
Next, when Liu Hongxia saw that Li Xiaojun married a woman named Wang Qiuyu, she was stunned.
That face was too familiar; it looked almost identical to the mother of Ziwei Great Emperor.
Moreover, her name was also Wang Qiuyu, and she was the stepmother of Shenghui Great Emperor and Yafei Great Emperor.
In addition, she was also the biological mother of seven great emperors, five of whom had already ascended to immortality.
If she guessed correctly, Wang Qiuyu in the movie should soon give birth to a daughter named Li Yuxin.
Sure enough, not long after, Liu Hongxia saw that Li Xiaojun and Wang Qiuyu had a daughter, and Li Xiaojun named this daughter Li Yuxin.
At this point, Liu Hongxia was one hundred percent certain that this movie depicted a true story from a hundred thousand years ago that she knew.
However, ordinary people were unaware of this; those who did knew either were involved back then or were like Ziwei Great Emperor and others who had existed for a hundred thousand years.
“Could this have been made by Ziwei Great Emperor or Ziyao Empress?” Liu Hongxia couldn’t help but speculate.
Knowing Li Xiaojun and the details like this seemed possible only for Li Xiaojun’s two daughters with the last name Li.
Holding her doubts, Liu Hongxia continued to watch the movie.
When she saw Li Xiaojun and Wang Qiuyu had daughters named Li Yuqing and Li Yutong, she became even more convinced.
Finally, when she saw teenage Li Yuting and Li Yufei, she could be absolutely certain that this was an event from a hundred thousand years ago.
Because the Li Yuting and Li Yufei in the movie looked exactly like the ones she knew.
In the end, when Liu Hongxia watched as Biyun Xianzong arranged for many women to have children with Li Xiaojun, she thought of her mother.
Her mother had once been one of them, having a relationship with Li Xiaojun and giving birth to her three sisters.
Without Li Xiaojun, their lives today would have been impossible.
Thus, the protagonist in this film, Li Xiaojun, was also her biological father.
After watching the movie, Liu Hongxia sat there in a daze, unable to return to reality for a long time.
After a while, she took out her phone and sent a message.
“Come over here.”
A few minutes later, a young woman appeared before Liu Hongxia.
“Your Excellency.” The woman respectfully bowed to Liu Hongxia.
“Caifeng, I have a task for you. Watch this movie and find out who made it, who wrote the script, and most importantly, who wrote this story…”
“Understood…” The woman named Caifeng nodded and quickly left.
