Chapter 556: Unity of Heaven and Earth
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the Imperial City, a princess and her maid sat by the pool near the palace.
The princess, Bi Zhu, was playfully splashing water with her bare feet. She felt relaxed and content.
On the other hand, her maid, Qiao Yi, was filled with worries.
They had been sitting here like this for a long time in silence. Each waited for the other to speak.
Qiao Yi looked at the princess beside her, who seemed carefree and sighed heavily. âPrincess, what would you like to ask?â
Bi Zhu was surprised. âDonât you want to know how I found out about you?â Qiao Yi shook her head. âIf you want to tell me, you will.â
âA senior told me. I always thought the person was somewhere else, but it turns out sheâs right here beside me,â Bi Zhu said.
She didnât feel anything else except surprise.
This revelation didnât affect her opinion of Qiao Yi, who was still an important person to her.
âYou seem to know quite a few people, Princess,â Qiao Yi said with a wry smile.
âThatâs because Iâm the number one genius in the Imperial City,â Bi Zhu said with a smile.
âWhy arenât you saying you are a genius unmatched in the entire world?â Qiao Yi asked curiously.
âLast time, I saw someone reach the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, soâŠâ Bi Zhu sighed. âI still have a long way to go.â
âHeavenly Dao Foundation Establishment?â Qiao Yi was quite surprised. She was very unfamiliar with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment and didnât expect the princess to casually mention it.
âYes, but the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is a long story. Letâs not talk about it,â Bi Zhu said seriously. âLetâs discuss the matter of the Saint Bandits. I heard that you know a lot about it?â
âI donât know much.â Qiao Yi shook her head. âI grew up in the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, so I know some secrets.â
âDid the Ancestral Dragonâs Heart seal the Saint Bandits?â Bi Zhu got straight to the point.
âYes.â Qiao Yi nodded. âIf he doesnât die, the Saint Bandits wonât stop. For the sake of their ideals, the Saint Bandits interfered with all the races in the world. Later, the Xuanyuan Clan sealed them with the heart of the Ancestral Dragon, and as long as the Xuanyuan Clan doesnât wake up, the Saint Bandits will remain sealed forever. Now that there are signs of the Xuanyuan Clanâs awakening, thatâs why the heart of the Ancestral Dragon is sealed.â
âThe Xuanyuan Clan declined because of this?â Bi Zhu was surprised.
Qiao Yi shook her head. âIt shouldnât be just that. Maybe they saw their own
fate. â
Bi Zhu sat still. She hadnât expected Qiao Yi to know so much.
âWhat was the real reason for sealing the Saint Bandits?â Bi Zhu asked.
Qiao Yi remained silent for a moment before answering, âBecause of their ideals.â
âWhat ideals?â Bi Zhu asked.
Qiao Yi hesitated for a moment. âUnity of Heaven and Earth.â
â Unity of Heaven and Earth?â Bi Zhu was puzzled.
âI donât know what it means. Anyway, they were despised by the world.â Qiao Yi shook her head.
Bi Zhu didnât ask further and instead inquired about the Heart of the Ancestral Dragon.
âThe Heart of the Ancestral Dragon is breaking its seal slowly. It should be in the Abyssal Sea area, and it can be summoned by a similar aura,â Qiao Yi said.
Bi Zhu fell silent for a moment. âWhat is the Heart of the Ancestral Dragon? What is its purpose?â
Qiao Yi said, âI donât know. Youâll have to ask the Xuanyuan Clan.â
Jiang Hao returned to the sect early.
His seniors politely inquired about the status of his spirit pet, and he could only respond that it was unharmed.
Indeed, the spirit beast had no issues.
He had made progress with the nameless manual, mastered the Heaven Lock Technique, and successfully reached the peak of the Soul Ascension Realm. He had even improved his Light and Dust technique.
His current strength was far beyond what it used to be, and sometimes, he felt the urge to spar with someone.
Fortunately, he managed to suppress these impulses.
Before returning, he had checked on Bai Ye. Despite his injuries, Bai Yeâs cultivation realm was still at the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
âRecently, there have been many people coming and going in the sect. I think they are preparing for the exchange meeting,â said Kong Hu.
âI asked about it last night,â Nan Yushu said with surprise. âThey said that young disciples from the Blackheaven Sect are coming for the exchange. Itâs said that many of our sectâs elite disciples will be participating. It seems like theyâre coming with great enthusiasm.â
Xia Cun nodded. âYes, after depletion of our sectâs resources, weâve finally started to recover. Now the Blackheaven Sect is coming. They must be trying to take advantage of our weakened state.â
Jiang Hao also thought that was the case. The exchange with the Blackheaven
Sect was like offering an olive branch before taking military action. If the Heavenly Note Sect appeared weaker or had internal issues, the Blackheaven Sect might launch a full-scale attack.
However, Jiang Hao was not sure about the real intentions of the Blackheaven Sect.
Were they interested in the mine or something else?
âActually, thereâs another theory.â Nan Yushu hesitated. âI heard some seniors say that the main reason the Blackheaven Sect is coming is because of the
Xuanyuan Clan.â
âThe Xuanyuan Clan?â Kong Hu and Jiang Hao were both surprised. He knew that Xuanyuan Tai and Xuanyuan He were both members of the Xuanyuan Clan.
However, there was a difference between the two. One had the blessing of the Mountain and Sea and the other did not.
But it wasnât clear what these differences meant.
Jiang Hao realized that he still couldnât decipher the words he had heard in the Corpse Realm.
He had already learned a lot, but he still couldnât understand them.
He couldnât find the correct translation.
Perhaps he needed to learn more in the future.
For now, he had to see what the Xuanyuan Clan was planning.
âThatâs right.â Nan Yushu nodded. âI heard that the Xuanyuan Clan has recovered their ancestorsâ legacy and is now on the rise. They are participating in the exchange with our sect to further their progress.â
âBut the Blackheaven Sect has more than just the Xuanyuan Clan. Why would they help with this?â Xia Cun asked.
Nan Yushu shrugged. âThatâs just one theory. In reality, many people are just curious about how the Xuanyuan Clan managed to recover their ancestorâs legacy.
Jiang Hao lowered his head. He probably had helped them with that.
He didnât interrupt their discussion.
After the talk ended, he focused on the second spell technique of the Hong Meng Heart Sutra. It was the Mountain and Sea Seal.
At Flowing Waterfall, Wan Yanfeng walked along the road, his brows slightly furrowed.
âAre you sure this is the meeting place?â he asked.
Yu Wenjing was also puzzled. âYes, this is the place, but I donât understand why itâs chosen.â
They had come to meet the person who had initially pointed out to Yu Wenjing that the fish person held a secret.
Now, they had no communication but still wanted to meet with that person.
A short while later, they arrived at the agreed-upon location. But there was no sign of anyone.
âAre you two looking for me?â A middle-aged man walked out.
He was dressed in Daoist robes and had an extraordinary demeanor. He was Hai Ming, who had just become an outer sect elder.
Upon seeing the man, Yu Wenjing bowed in respect. âGreetings, Senior.â Wan Yanfeng also nodded in greeting.
He was somewhat surprised by the identity of the person before him. Initially, it wasnât mentioned that this person was from the sect.
âIs this the true disciple of Thunder Fire Peak?â Hai Ming smiled. âYou donât need to doubt my identity. I recently joined the sect. I didnât use any tricks..â
