### **Chapter 672 — The Name That Was Hidden**
The night wind passed quietly through the **Starry Sky Sect**.
In the central square—
**Zǐ Sè Huā Duǒ** stood before the towering statue of **Yang Lin** once again.
The moonlight illuminated the stone figure.
Her purple robes moved slightly in the wind.
For a long moment she remained silent.
Then she spoke softly.
"Zǐ Sè Huā Duǒ…"
She shook her head slightly.
"That name was only for convenience."
Her eyes lifted slowly toward the statue.
"My true name…"
She paused briefly.
"…is **Mo Ziyan**."
The name carried a faint, ancient weight.
Yet no one was there to hear it.
Only the silent statue of **Yang Lin** stood before her.

### **Chapter 673 — The First Disturbance**
The moment **Mo Ziyan** revealed her true name—
The square changed.
It was subtle at first.
A faint vibration moved through the stone beneath her feet.
Then—
The statue of **Yang Lin** trembled slightly.
Mo Ziyan's eyes narrowed.
The air grew heavier.
A presence began forming around the statue.
It was not cultivation energy.
It was something far deeper.
A quiet **aura** began spreading outward.
---
### **Chapter 674 — The Awakening Presence**
Mo Ziyan stepped back slowly.
Her expression remained calm—
But her eyes showed surprise.
The aura from the statue was increasing.
Not violently.
But endlessly.
It was like an ocean appearing from nothing.
She could clearly feel it now.
This presence…
Was **far stronger** than the aura of the most powerful person she had ever known.
Stronger even than her own father.
Her gaze locked onto the statue.
"How interesting…"
---
### **Chapter 675 — The Hidden Pressure**
The aura from the statue did not explode outward.
Instead—
It quietly filled the entire square.
Then the surrounding mountains.
Then the sky above the sect.
Yet strangely—
No one else in the sect seemed to notice.
Only **Mo Ziyan** could feel it.
The pressure was immense.
But it was also perfectly controlled.
As if the statue itself had chosen its only witness.
Mo Ziyan smiled faintly.
"So this is the **Yang Lin** they talk about."
---
### **Chapter 676 — The Stone Eyes**
As the aura deepened—
Something even more shocking happened.
The statue's stone eyes…
Seemed almost alive.
Not moving.
Not blinking.
But carrying a presence that felt real.
Mo Ziyan crossed her arms slowly.
"You left this behind on purpose, didn't you?"
The statue remained silent.
Yet the aura around it grew even deeper.
Like a calm ruler watching from afar.
---
### **Chapter 677 — The Purple Flame Reaction**
Mo Ziyan released a small portion of her own aura.
Dark purple flames appeared behind her.
The flames twisted in the air like living shadows.
Normally—
Such power could crush entire sects instantly.
Yet the moment her aura touched the statue's presence—
The purple flames trembled.
Then weakened.
Then quietly faded.
Mo Ziyan blinked once.
"That's…"
Her lips curved slightly.
"…unexpected."
---
### **Chapter 678 — Recognition**
Mo Ziyan looked up again at the statue.
For the first time—
Her expression carried genuine interest.
"This world suppresses power."
"Yet you left something here that even I cannot approach."
She studied the statue carefully.
The aura surrounding it felt calm.
Stable.
Unmovable.
Almost like the foundation of the sky itself.
"Yang Lin…"
She murmured quietly.
"You're more interesting than I expected."
---
### **Chapter 679 — The Silent Agreement**
The square returned to normal after a while.
The aura slowly faded.
The statue became still again.
But Mo Ziyan understood something important.
This statue was not simply decoration.
It was a **mark**.
A mark left by someone far beyond the limits of the **Southern Meridian**.
She gave a small nod toward the statue.
"As long as I'm here…"
"I suppose I'll observe you properly."
---
### **Chapter 680 — The Watching Elders**
High above the square—
Several **Starry Sky Sect elders** were quietly observing.
One elder frowned slightly.
"That girl…"
"Her presence feels strange."
Another elder nodded slowly.
"Yes."
"But she has done nothing wrong."
Below them—
Mo Ziyan turned and walked away from the square.
Her purple robes moved gently behind her.
None of the elders realized—
The terrifying aura that had appeared moments earlier had only revealed itself to her.
---
### **Chapter 681 — A Seed Disciple's Path**
The next morning—
Mo Ziyan officially entered the **Seed Disciple residence area**.
Many disciples looked at her with admiration.
Some with curiosity.
But Mo Ziyan ignored all of it.
Her mind was elsewhere.
She had already confirmed something important.
The statue in the square…
Was not ordinary.
And the man behind it—
Was even less ordinary.
She smiled slightly.
"This sect may not be boring after all."
---
### **Chapter 682 — Northern Meridian Winds**
Far away—
Within the mountains of the **Northern Meridian**—
A young man stood calmly beneath the night sky.
The stars above reflected faintly in his eyes.
It was **Yang Lin**.
A quiet wind moved through the mountains.
For a brief moment—
He paused.
As if sensing something.
Then he continued walking.
Unaware—
That someone in the distant **Southern Meridian** had just discovered the power he left behind.
