Charlie spected that if the book his father had from long ago was indeed titled “Preface to the Nine Profound Scriptures,” then it might actually serve as the introduction to the Nine Profound Scriptures!


    With this thought in mind, he eagerly inquired, “Uncle, after my father received this book, were there any words or actions from him that puzzled you or left asting impression?” Asher paused for a moment, then replied, “Your father had many behaviors that I found difficult toprehend. He delved into ancient texts and resources and even embarked on numerous trips with your mother for research purposes. These excursions sometimessted weeks or even months. However, at that time, I sensed your father was somewhat confused, so I didn’t pay close attention to his activities.”


    As Asher continued, a sudden memory struck him, and he eximed, “Oh, I recall your father discussing the concepts of the dragon and phoenix fate with your mother on several asions. He frequently mentioned that ascending the dragon signifies respect, and only the true dragon can ascend to heaven.” Charlie replied thoughtfully, “My father said it should rte to people’s fates, including Longge and Fengge.”


    “Perhaps,” Asher mused, his brow furrowing. “He didn’t focus much on those two, but he often brought up Shenglongge, almost as if it were a subject of doctoral research. He seemed to be absorbed in it, and your mother appeared equally invested; it was as if they had been brainwashed.”<fn45fb> Official source is find?novel</fn45fb>


    Charlie pressed on, “Uncle, do you recall any additional details?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Asher shook his head, letting out a sigh. “It’s been so long; the specifics escape me. What stands out most to me is that your father frequently spoke to your mother about riding a dragon to ascend to heaven. Honestly, I wondered if they had joined some cult, fixated on the idea of ascending to heaven…” At that moment, Charlie felt a deeper shock. He had never considered that his father might have ties to the “Nine Profound Heavenly Scriptures.”


    Were Longge and Fengge discussions about him and his mother?


    Or, was Longge referring to himself?


    And what exactly was Shenglongge?


    Charlie sensed he had stumbled into an area of obscurity. The “Nine Profound Heavenly Scriptures” contained no mention of Shenglongge. It was Sara’s Willie who had spoken of the secret of longevity to him just before his death.


    Recalling how his parents had been killed by Willie, Charlie surmised that they must have stumbled upon some incredible treasure or power that led to their martial pursuits. This likely attracted Sara’s attention, ultimately culminating in their tragic deaths in Aurous Hill. Just then, another thought crossed Charlie’s mind—Lin Waner.


    While Lin Waner might not possess knowledge of the secret of longevity, she certainly had insights into matters of fate!


    After all, she had lived for over three centuries and her expertise in the Book of Changes and divination was unparalleled; even Orion Exeor couldn’tpare. Perhaps she would have the answers about the fate tied to Shenglongge!
