Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1728 Chapter 438: This Disciple Has Not Failed You

"Sister, how are you acquainted with him?"

Having established a connection with Su Wanyi, Su Muqing felt a blend of joy and curiosity and couldn't restrain her question.

Through the Jade Pendant, Su Wanyi’s voice reached the ears of the two sisters: "The name sounds incredibly familiar. Over a century ago, it seems Father mentioned a marriage arrangement to me, requesting that I find time to return for a meeting. That individual was also named Haotian. Currently, he is listed on the Chaos Heavenly Dao list. My Master suggested he has certain ties to you, so I wished to confirm if it is the same person."

Su Wanxue’s expression shifted slightly upon hearing Su Wanyi’s explanation, and she glanced toward Su Muqing at her side.

The smile on Su Muqing’s face froze instantly. She suddenly recalled that when Li Hao arrived at the Su Family bearing the Immortal Emperor’s marriage letter, their Father had intended for Li Hao to select one of the four Su daughters. She hadn't expected that Father had also sent word to their eldest sister, who was Cultivation in the Primordial True Realm at that time.

It was clear just how desperately Father wanted to honor his ancient vow.

Furthermore, during that selection process, the young man had been unshakable in his decision to choose her.

Su Muqing bit her lip gently, her heart a tangle of complicated feelings. By now, she understood that the youth hadn't truly chosen her, but rather the other woman residing within her.

But if that woman hadn't existed, would his choice have remained the same?

She lacked an answer—or perhaps, she was simply unwilling to confront it. She intended to wait for the day she finally met the young man again to ask him face-to-face. Only after receiving his answer could she truly let go.

"Sister, that Haotian is indeed the person we know. He is the very same man Father spoke of back then."

Observing Su Muqing’s conflicted look, Su Wanxue sighed internally and replied to her elder sister through the Jade Pendant.

"Oh?"

Su Wanyi’s voice returned, sounding exceptionally cold, as if she were indifferently arching an eyebrow. She remarked, "I just questioned the Outer Sect disciples; this Haotian’s arrival in the Primordial True Realm has caused quite a stir. He realized 69 stars in a single day, and in a mere century, he has refined 21 Chaos Laws. Could he possibly be a Great Emperor reincarnated?"

Su Wanxue opened her mouth as if to speak but could only offer a weary smile. She was well aware of the rumors and theories the world held regarding the youth, but only those who had actually met him knew such guesses were wide of the mark.

"He is likely... not a reincarnated Great Emperor."

Su Wanxue spoke with a faint, bitter smile.

"What makes you say that?"

Su Wanyi questioned her. She found it hard to believe anyone could be so peerless without being the reincarnation of a Great Emperor.

After all, it had taken her more than two thousand years to refine 22 Chaos Laws within the Primordial True Realm.

During those years, she occasionally sent an avatar back to the True Realm to visit her parents, oversee the Su Family's affairs, and monitor the Northern Domain borders. However, her true self remained dedicated to her studies in the Primordial True Realm.

Even her past interactions with Su Muqing and Su Wanqing had been conducted via her avatar.

Except for being less capable in battle, there was virtually no difference between her avatar and her original body, as they shared the same memories.

Therefore, technically, her true self had never met her three sisters, though this did not diminish their strong sisterly bond in the least.

"The soul life of a Great Emperor would never be as brief as a hundred years..."

Su Wanxue’s gaze grew complex. "Calculating based on his current Cultivation in the Primordial True Realm, his soul life should only be slightly over two hundred years."

"What?"

From the other side of the Jade Token, Su Wanyi’s voice was clearly filled with shock.

A soul life of only two hundred years?

"Wanyi, that marriage was canceled a long time ago."

Suddenly, Su Muqing spoke up in a quiet voice, her comment seemingly disconnected from the conversation.

Coming back to her senses and missing the strange tone in Su Muqing’s voice, Su Wanyi asked, "I was preoccupied with my Cultivation and didn't return. Which one of you did he end up choosing?"

Su Muqing’s fingers tightened instinctively as she remained silent.

Su Wanxue gave a sigh. "That young man didn't pick any of us; he departed from the Su Family."

"He didn't choose anyone?"

Su Wanyi was stunned once more. From their earlier talk, she had assumed this legendary genius was already her brother-in-law. To think he hadn't chosen anyone at all!

The four Su sisters were so famous in the Northern Domain that suitors wanting to marry them could form a line reaching the Demon Battlefield at the border. Yet, that man hadn't picked a single one?

"He certainly has particular tastes!"

Su Wanyi’s voice turned chilly, as if frosted over.

Su Wanxue began to explain further, but Su Wanyi interrupted, "Continue your Cultivation. I have finished my seclusion. When you are weary and head back to the Sect, we four sisters shall gather. By the way, why isn't Wanqing with you on the same Chaos Star? Have you understood a different number of Chaotic Stars?"

She felt a bit puzzled. She could understand if their youngest sister, Wanqing, had perceived more Chaotic Stars than Su Muqing and the others and thus moved to a different star. However, in terms of raw talent, Su Muqing was widely considered the most gifted among the four; even Su Wanyi felt slightly inferior to her.

"Well..."

Su Wanxue stole a glance at the quiet Su Muqing before answering Su Wanyi. "It is true that Wanqing has realized more Chaotic Stars than either Muqing or myself."

"Is that so?"

Su Wanyi was surprised, her voice tinged with a bit of happiness. Could little Wanqing possess a unique affinity for Chaos Power?

It wasn't impossible. Some geniuses might excel in various arts but struggle with Chaos Power. As the saying goes, everyone has their own unique strengths; no one is superior in every single way.

...

In the Original Land, a figure emerged from a cave dwelling atop a peak.

The figure moved with a graceful posture. With every step taken, the sun and moon seemed to rotate within the void, and celestial lotus flowers bloomed beneath their feet.
