After reading through the description of his newly acquired system, Wu Xiaotian is greeted by a new button on his main screen, appearing just right below his stats.
[Karmic Ties]
Clicking on the button, a new screen appeared in front of him, not that much different than the main screen other than the difference in the intricate pattern adorning the sides of this screen, seemingly creating a red thread that flows outside the screen.

Aside from these names, there are other that leans more on the negative emotion towards him, most of them coming from the Extreme Martial Sect as well as the Purple Lightning Temple, but they’re just too insignificant for him to consider, and only the sect leader as well as the elders of this forces are powerful enough to generate Universal Coins for him, hence his disregard towards the other faces in the display.
Amidst all the names displayed though, one piqued his interest, a specific feminine name with no image beside it located on the bottommost portion of the list of people with positive opinion towards him.
‘Mo Lingxue? That should be the name of Granny Mo from the Thousand Roads City right?’ he thought to himself as he recalls the encounter he had with that old woman through the introduction of Hua Xian’er.
Clicking on the name, some basic information about this person appears, stunning the immortal-like young man as he never expected what he just saw, the information displayed making her look at the mature lady acting spoiled while rubbing her beautiful face on his chest.
[Name: Mo Lingxue]
[Age: 74]
[Affiliation: Former Yin Master of the Valley of Harmony]
[Cultivation: Perfection state Ascension Realm]
‘Former master… doesn’t this mean that…’ as he repeatedly reads the information, he recalled the face of that old woman jovially playing around and teasing him and Hua Xian’er while buying things from her shop, never expecting that she will be someone related to him, and most likely by blood at that.
‘I could confirm it had the Goddess Ranking decided to keep the name of my maternal grandmother even after her disappearance…’ while thinking about multiple things mostly about Mo Lingxue and how he’s going to tell his mother about this news, Wu Xiaotian starts to get a bit frustrated as he currently holds an information that could possibly bring extreme happiness to his mother, yet he couldn’t even say it in fear of giving her false hope as he couldn’t confirm it yet.
“Come to think of it mom, you never told me about my other grandmother, I never really heard anything about her except for the times that you and grandma told me stories of your lives that includes her…” Eventually sweeping the thoughts off his mind, he decided to get the information with the easiest way possible, asking his mother for his maternal grandmother’s name indirectly.
“Tian, why are you suddenly interested with mother?” Su Meiyao asked as she looks up and stares directly at her son’s eyes, her gaze filled with nostalgia as she starts telling stories about her greatest idol even before her son managed to reply to her question.
“Mother is, well, let’s just say she’s an extremely talented person as well, not only in term of cultivation but also with regards to her intellectual and emotional prowess…” the black-haired mature woman paused for a while as she moves her head towards her son’s chest again, laying there comfortably before she continues her story.
“She’s always the one who takes the lead on everything that she’s basically the true Sect Master of our sect back then, with father being her best support…” as she starts travelling down the memory lane, Su Meiyao gets lost in the moment, telling her stories while being completely unaware of anything else aside from her and her son’s body.
According to her stories, Mo Lingxue is a star during her time, a cultivation genius that has little to no peers at all, with only one lady being acknowledge by her, the lady being Jiang Xinyue. In addition to the already absurd strength when she’s alone, once her and her husband’s might are combined in the battlefield, there’s practically no one among their peers that can match up to them, it doesn’t even matter if they fight against the two altogether or going separately.
In addition to the terrifying battle prowess, she also possesses an extreme wit that makes her a great leader, and her time as the Yin Master of the Valley of Harmony is one of the times in the sect’s history where it undergoes an explosive growth, as if nothing is going to hinder the path of the sect, given that the woman maneuvers around all troubles and problems perfectly, completely dealing with loose ends of every problem she encounters.
“She’s also a great mother and teacher, along with my father, well, mostly her efforts, she grooms me into the perfect heir of the Sect, the two of them brimming with pride whenever they talk about me…” she told her son as her hug tightens a bit, seemingly starting to get sad as she recalls times closer and closer to the fall of her sect.
“Oh, have I also told you that mother had a knack for crafting artifacts as well? Not to mention, mother is so famous that she got a title on the Heavenly Seer’s Goddess Ranking” she added as she looks towards her son again, the excitement in his eyes making her curious just what is he thinking about.
“What’s her title mom?” hearing the words that his mother said, Wu Xiaotian can already pretty much confirm that the Mo Lingxue he met and the mother that his mom is talking about is the same person, he merely wants to hear the name of his maternal grandmother from his mother’s mouth in order to dispel that tiny sliver of doubt that is still on his heart.
Rising up from her comfortable position, Su Meiyao straddled on her son’s body as she confidently presents her mother’s name, her bountiful chest jiggling despite her clothes as she sticks them out, all while saying with a proud tone in her voice, “My mother, your maternal grandmother’s title is Yin-yang Divine Mistress, her name, Mo Lingxue”
