Fox Clan Courtyard.

Nannan sat on the chair, anxiously looking at the people in front of her, holding the spine of a large toad in her hand.

The toad was a spirit creature, two feet long, with a face that seemed to have lost all hope. It had clearly struggled and tried to escape, but failed to elude Little Yama's grasp.

Nannan was already nine years old, exactly the age when even dogs find her annoying.

In recent years, as the Yin Yang Two Realms merged, she lived among the Fox Clan tribe with Zhong Kui, Tie Chi, and the ferryman father and daughter. What kind of place is the Fox Clan? Monsters abound, making it hard to learn good habits.

Despite her young age, she learned from the fox spirit to capture demons and subdue ghosts and monsters, developing a good set of skills. She subdued this toad and treated it as a treasure in her grasp, carrying it wherever she went, either holding the toad's spine, pulling on its forelimbs, or dragging its hind legs.

Chen Yindou bent over, scrutinizing Nannan, frowning slightly, and turned back to say, "Are you sure she's King Yan reincarnated?"

Chen Shi, Zhong Kui, and the others nodded one after another.

"With Black and White Impermanence by her side as protectors, her identity as the great lord Qing Tian is confirmed," Tie Chi said.

Zhong Kui added, "However, the great lord Qing Tian is trapped in fetal confusion. During reincarnation, the Six Paths of Reincarnation washed away her memories. She doesn't even know who she is, so the ghost gods hunting her naturally don't know her whereabouts either."

Tie Chi anxiously added, "The great lord is not at all foolish!"

Nearby, Little Bull Head, Little Horse Face, and Little Yaksha nodded repeatedly. They were the three Great Judges and had been following Little Yama over the years.

Chen Yindou looked at the toad spirit in Nannan's hand, still finding it hard to accept.

The great lord Qing Tian was fated with him.

Back when he went to the underworld with Qing Yang and others to search for Chen Shi's whereabouts, they broke into a Yuan Chen Palace in the Divine Capital, drawing attacks from ghost gods. At the rear of that Yuan Chen Palace, a crescent moon was suspended. Amid the chaos, the crescent slipped away without a trace, escaping the scene.

This crescent was the crescent on the forehead of the great lord Qing Tian.

"Later, I heard from ghosts in the underworld that the reason they could only see the crescent moon and not the great lord Qing Tian was because the lord's face was too dark, blending with the darkness of the night sky, making it invisible. The crescent was on his forehead between his eyebrows, which is why only the moving crescent could be seen," Chen Yindou recalled, reflecting on past events.

Nannan, restless, jumped off the chair and went out to play, while everyone kept their eyes on her.

"How can the fetal confusion be resolved?" Chen Shi inquired.

Chen Yindou replied, "When one's cultivation reaches a certain Realm, they can break through fetal confusion and awaken past life memories."

Chen Shi frowned; Nannan was just starting her education, and it might take more than ten years to naturally awaken through cultivation.

Chen Yindou continued, "Another method is the Three-Life Stone. Using the Three-Life Stone as a catalyst can unlock her past memories and restore her past life cultivation. However, the Three-Life Stone is an incredibly rare treasure. Back in the day, Granny Sha attempted to find the Three-Life Stone, which led her son to the underworld..."

"Grandpa, I have already found Xiang Tianyu."

Chen Shi smiled, "And Xiang Tianyu found many Three-Life Stones."

Chen Yindou looked at the excited Nannan riding on the toad, exclaiming loudly, and laughed, "Then awakening the great lord Qing Tian becomes much simpler. Where is the Three-Life Stone?"

"At Granny Sha's place."

Soon after, Sha Qiutong arrived at the Fox Clan Courtyard with Xiang Tianyu. She had many Three-Life Stones, picked up by Xiang Tianyu and brought from the underworld to the Mortal World by Chen Shi.

"Qiutong, awakening the great lord must be your task," Chen Yindou said.

Sha Qiutong took out a Three-Life Stone and said, "This is a serious matter. When the great lord's memory is restored, it might alarm the ghost gods of the underworld. They might find this place and disrupt my magic. There are many experts in the underworld, and we must be cautious. It would be best to invite Qing Yang and the others."

Chen Yindou shook his head, "No need. Little Ten, summon your four disciples."

Chen Shi replied affirmatively, raising his voice, "Where are the disciples?"

The Dragon Traveling Wanderer, Lady Shao, and others came from outside. Pei Sanren, short and elderly, spoke in a loud voice, "Master, what are your orders?"

Chen Shi said, "When Granny Sha awakens the great lord Qing Tian, you all must protect her without slacking."

"Understood."

The four looked around in confusion, "Who is Granny Sha?"

Sha Qiutong surveyed the four, trembling, "Senior Long You, Lady Shao, are you really alive? I am the Granny Sha Little Ten mentioned."

Her heart surged with a stormy sea. These four elders were renowned among the Independent, with cultivation reaching the heavens, each with a magic skill for longevity. They lived longer than the ancestors of the Thirteen Families, legends among the Independent.

They were like four bright moons of the Independent organization, radiating resplendently. So much so that after their retirement and disappearance, the Independent organization was not what it once was.

But when building the Mirror Lake Villa, the four elders were already on the verge of turning evil. Chen Yindou put them into coffins one by one; Sha Qiutong was also present, witnessing their transformation, nailed in coffins, terrifying her.

At that time, they made a pact: once Chen Yindou resolved the problem of turning evil, he would awaken them.

Since then, the four elders had slept in their coffins for decades. Chen Yindou and the others never solved the problem of turning evil, but the obscure aura from the coffins indicated that in their sleep, they could avoid turning evil, but if awoken, they would inevitably turn!

Sha Qiutong even thought it might be better if they died in their sleep.

Unexpectedly, the four elders came back to life!

Even more unexpectedly, they became Chen Shi's disciples!

"Little Qiutong, are you Granny Sha?"
