Li Xingfei's parents were both looking at her now. They wore very complex expressions on their faces too.
Her father didn't speak whereas her mother sighed. She looked at her and asked, "What have you found out?"
"I only found out recently. You and daddy held important positions in the Great Void Sect and are not the ordinary people that I thought the both of you were. The both of you are cultivators just like me. In addition, your backgrounds are not ordinary either." Li Xingfei said."Since this is the case, why didn't you probe me to cultivate on Mount Baiyun?"
"The both of you lost your masteries as you cultivated the Mantra of the Great Oblivion and had to leave Mount Baiyun, leaving the both of you with no authority to arrange for me to take up discipleship in the Great Void Sect. However, this shouldn't devoid me of a chance to take the test to enter the sect."
Her mother was silent for a while before a complicated gaze drifted into her eyes, "We wanted it that way too. If that happened, things wouldn't be as awkward as they are now."
Her father suddenly interrupted, "Isn't it fine now? You entered the Celestial Sect of Wonders and achieved greatness in your mastery. You're even better than us in the past and we're happy for you. You're also passionate towards the Celestial Sect of Wonders. You respect your elders and you're loving towards your fellow sect members."
"Although it's a pity that you couldn't enter the Great Void Sect, it's not a bad thing now."
"Chen Jun, this mantra that you've just demonstrated to us seems to be similar to the Mantra of the Great Oblivion. However, it's not at all. Where's it from and what's its purpose?"
He now appeared normal again. He didn't flinch at all.
Although he no longer had any mastery, his mighty stature could still be felt. It was slightly different from the ordinary self that he normally showed to others.
Li Xingfei's mother sat at one side and her demeanor seemed to have changed too. She appeared more refined and elegant suddenly.
Li Xingfei answered, "This is the result after my master and elders studied the Great Void's Mantra of the Great Oblivion."
Her father creased his brows, "Where did they get the original copy of the Mantra of the Great Oblivion?"
He was roughly aware of her current state of mind and knew that there was a knot in her heart. He didn't want to continue conflicting with her and cause unhappy feelings between them.
But this question was too important for the Great Void Sect. If even the Mantra of the Great Oblivion could leak out, the consequences would be extremely dire.
Li Xingfei didn't seem to mind though. She answered honestly."We didn't obtain the original copy of the Mantra of the Great Oblivion. This is the result of their own study and analysis. That's why it seems quite similar to the Mantra of the Great Oblivion to you."
Both her parents were stunned now, "... impossible!"
They wanted to retort subconsciously, but they kept silent as the words got to their mouth. They couldn't help but remember the matter about the way of karma on Mount Kunlun many years back.
Li Xingfei calmly said, "My grandmaster is extremely knowledgeable and our sect's mantras are closest that you can get to the Heavens and Earth. It's not that difficult to figure out other mantras. Of course, we can't figure out other's mantras completely without any clues. However, the result won't be too far off."
She sounded very calm and natural. She didn't seem like she was boasting, as if she was just saying something very normal.
After her parents heard her words, they became silent.
"It's not just the Mantra of the Great Oblivion. My master also deduced the Yin-Yang Mantra of the Void." Li Xingfei continued to say."The Cosmic Marble Buddha has surfaced, bringing life to Buddhism. The missing pieces of Buddhism were naturally filled. However, in our sect, the incomplete Vairocana Sutra of the Tathagata Dharmas of the Compass is slowly being deduced."
"Although it may not be the same as what's passed down in Buddhism, it won't be too far off."
Her parents looked at each other, "Even the Yin-Yang Mantra of the Void has also... but, how is it possible..."
The both of them revealed puzzled looks on their faces. They subconsciously looked at the jade talisman that Li Xingfei crushed. The deduction of the Mantra of the Great Oblivion was displayed in an illusory light projection.
To them, they hoped that it was someone who leaked the mantras of the sect.
In this way, the problem laid in someone even though it was a serious matter. It wouldn't be like how it was now. They felt as if their world had become illusory.
The two them were both helpless and emotional now. Even though their Dao hearts had been crushed and they lost their masteries, they were still very loyal to Mount Baiyun.
They had no hard feelings as they accepted Lin Daohan's arrangement to send their daughter into the Celestial Sect of Wonders. They were extremely confident in the Great Void Sect and believed that their daughter's future still laid in the Great Void Sect.
However, the unprecedented rise of the Celestial Sect of Wonders caused the both of them to be extremely lost now.
Although they believed that their own sect's foundation was strong and had a rich legacy, the Celestial Sect of Wonders had replaced the Great Void Sect as the main power in the Divine Lands. The Celestial Sect of Wonders was now the center of the entire Greater World.
Even the Great Void Sect had to give way to the Celestial Sect of Wonders and hide from the spotlight.
Such a change led Li Xingfei's parents into a state of panic.
Due to the Mantra of the Great Oblivion, their future continued to be with the Great Void Sect. But did their daughter's future lie in the Great Void Sect?
The both of them still loved Li Xingfei very much. Their self-interests were now in conflict with their daughter's interest. This left them flustered.
The Great Void Sect had been keeping a low-profile all these years. Lin Daohan wouldn't touch Li Xingfei - the hidden pawn that he placed many years ago - right now.
Li Xingfei's parents were relieved by this. They were happy as they watched as their daughter rose in the Celestial Sect of Wonders. However, their worries still remained in their heads.
Right now, Li Xingfei's sudden appearance was bound to reveal everything and they could no longer keep up the act anymore.
"Daddy, mommy, master and the rest have already found out your identities. Before the War of the Two Worlds, they had already found out." Li Xingfei said, "It's just that they didn't want to put me in a spot, thus they didn't do anything. Master is also aware of your situation. That's why he waited till now before he instructed me to talk to the both of you."
Both of them straightened their gaze, "What do you mean?"
Li Xingfei looked at the illusory light projection of the Mantra of the Great Oblivion, "The Great Void's Mantra of the Great Oblivion is a very special mantra. Even grandmaster only has praises for it. But this mantra does have flaws. That's why your Dao hearts are crushed now and your masteries have disappeared. The both of you also can't cultivate other mantras."
Li Xingfei's parents turned dismal as they heard her words, but they didn't rebuke her.
If it was other Great Void Sect disciples, they might have a different reaction. However, the both of them didn't react to her words. Furthermore, they did hear their elder mentioning this problem in the past before.
The top cultivators in the Great Void Sect wouldn't lie to themselves and others by ignoring the flaws in their own mantra. In the process of correcting the flaws, they did achieve some progress over the years.
Li Xingfei said, "Besides my master and the rest who tried to figure out the Mantra of the Great Oblivion, grandmaster also chipped in with his own thoughts. This mantra has been greatly changed already."
"Due to time constraints, there may still be flaws present. However, if a powerful cultivator from the Great Void Sect cultivates this improved mantra and deduce it further, the flaws in the Mantra of the Great Oblivion can be rectified."
She looked at her parents, "This is a good thing for the both of you as well as other cultivators whose Dao hearts were crushed because of the Mantra of the Great Oblivion."
Li Xingfei's parents were both shocked as they heard her words.
Her father focused all his attention on the illusory light projection and tried to comprehend it.
Her mother was confused as she looked at her own daughter, "Chen Jun, did you.... ."
Li Xingfei sighed, "Mommy, master mentioned that the top cultivators from the Great Void Sect will instantly sense it as they tried to deduce the Mantra of the Great Oblivion."
"You should know what this means."
Her mother turned silent as she heard her words. She realized that they no longer had a say in the matter.
Li Xingfei didn't speak any further either. She walked beside her before sitting next to her. Following that, she grabbed onto the palms.
After a while, Li Xingfei's father shut his eyes before opening them slowly. A mystical radiance was revolving in his eyes and his aura seemed to have changed.
He turned to Li Xingfei and his wife and nodded his head, "I'm afraid it's true..."
Right now, it was unclear whether he was agitated or fearful. While his tone of voice was very calm, his voice was obviously shaking.
Li Xingfei smiled, "I hope that you can contact an elder from the Great Void Sect. Maybe they're trying to solve this problem too."
Li Xingfei's parents were both stunned. Li Xingfei continued to smile and say, "This is my reason for coming today. From today onwards, the both of you need to decide your future. It's not a bad thing if the both of you can return to Mount Baiyun and your sect."
"But my sect will always be the Celestial Sect of Wonders."
Her parents took in a deep breath. If the Mantra of the Great Oblivion was no longer flawed, it didn't just signify that Great Void Sect cultivators who cultivated this mantra would no longer meet with the same problems. It also meant that their cultivation would become smoother and their powers would be greater.
Moreover, there was also the Yin-Yang Mantra of the Void apart from the Mantra of the Great Oblivion, just like what Li Xingfei mentioned.
Li Xingfei's father asked, "What does the Celestial Sect of Wonders want?".
