The old lady smiled, "Do you really not want to ask?"

"If you think saying it would be bad for me, then I won’t ask," Chen Yan’s tone was very straightforward, "That biological father of mine, Chen Jue, never raised me for a day, never fed me a single bite. You raised me, without you I wouldn’t even exist. I don’t care so much about that father I’ve never seen as you might think."

The old lady nodded, "Do you have any other questions for me?"

"Yes." Chen Yan nodded seriously, his face also turning solemn, "A biological father I’ve never met can be ignored.

But, the wife who shares my bed cannot be ignored!

Old lady, only you can help me with this matter!"

The smile on the old lady’s face also faded, and she sighed, "That old thing Lin Qingquan has already told me about it..."

However, her tone still revealed a bit of peculiarity, "How does it feel? Finding a young girlfriend, only to discover she’s a Saint Venerable, sleeping in the same bed with her for nearly a year, what kind of feeling is that?"

Chen Yan rolled his eyes, "I can’t describe the feeling, but if you don’t help me, you’ll soon be without a granddaughter-in-law."

The old lady thought for a moment, "You should tell me the ins and outs of this matter, in detail.

Although that old thing Lin Qingquan has been secretly passing me some messages, he is not with you all the time, many things he might not know, so he couldn’t explain it to me clearly."

"Alright!"

Then, Chen Yan went on to tell the complete story of how he met Lu Sisi, from beginning to end.

He spoke in great detail, from Lu Sisi’s misfortune binding to how he reversed her fate, then to their numerous encounters afterward, how he discovered the secret of Lu Sisi’s mother, Lu Xiuting, the tomb raiding activity within Lu Xiuting’s family, and the ’ancient tomb’ he found...

This talk inevitably led one thing to another, and by the end, he also told the old lady about many of his experiences and events over the past year.

"My own suspicion is that years ago, Lu Xiuting’s family found the ancient tomb, and upon emerging from it, brought out a reincarnated Great Power.

That guy is the mysterious voice that has been trading with Lu Xiuting.

That guy helped Lu Xiuting alter her fate but also used her body to host the soul on the fetus from which Lu Sisi was later born.

I also indirectly inquired about the reincarnation and tribulation crossing of Great Powers, I..."

Chen Yan finally expressed his suspicion, but the old lady waved her hand, "No rush, you said you visited the ancient tomb and saw a large array inside, draw that for me to see."

Chen Yan laughed heartily, "Old lady, you’ve returned to the Domain Realm for too long, already used to the lifestyle here, aren’t you? Why bother drawing? I took pictures with my phone at that time."

After saying that, he pulled out his phone from his storage equipment, turned it on, opened the photo album, and handed it to the old lady.

The old lady took it, looked at it carefully, then returned the phone to Chen Yan, "What do you think, good grandson?"

"I think this array looks like some kind of suppressive array," Chen Yan said with a bitter smile, "So I never quite understood, if it’s the venerable saint coming to cross tribulations, why set up an array to suppress them? Why would anyone suppress and imprison a saint?

Or rather, who has the ability and skill to imprison and suppress a saint?"

The old lady sighed, "Have you never thought that it might be self-imprisonment? Self-suppressing oneself."

Chen Yan was stunned.

"Reincarnation tribulation crossing is not as easy as you think, it involves huge risks, even for the Saint Venerable."

The old lady’s tone became serious, "You’ve told me that you encountered a fragment of the soul of that Hundred-Year-old Venerable, and received teachings on the ’God-Hosting Chapter.’

Since you’ve learned the host god technique, I can explain it to you.

The so-called tribulation crossing is similar to hosting god. It involves the original body calculating the karma of the Heavenly Dao, or observing one’s fortune, finding deficiencies within one’s cultivation, and needing to cross tribulations to mend the deficiencies.

However, if one merely tries to take shortcuts with tribulation crossing and sends out a soul fragment, it’s infeasible.

Especially for major tribulations, the main body must personally experience them.

But experiencing tribulations, since it has the word tribulation, naturally isn’t easy. Moreover, for Saint Venerables, with their great divine techniques, besides the Heavenly Dao, there’s almost no force that can harm them.

Yet if not harmed, how could it be called a tribulation? If the tribulation isn’t responded to, it would leave deficiencies in the saint’s mental realm, gradually forming huge hazards in understanding the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, many times, for a Saint Venerable to experience tribulations, they must lower their status and suppress themselves."

Chen Yan nodded, "Understood! It’s like a person immune to weapons, foreseeing a calamity involving bloodshed. To respond to the tribulation, they must first remove their immunity, otherwise it wouldn’t count as a blood calamity, right, old lady?"

The old lady nodded, satisfied and looked at Chen Yan, "Correct! And the challenge you encountered is even higher because it didn’t happen in the Domain Realm, but in another world!"
