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 splas.h.i.+ng 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. Princess, what would you like to ask?

Bi Zhu was surprised. Dont you want to know how I found out about you? Qiao Yi shook her head. If you want to tell me, you will.

A senior told me. I always thought the person was somewhere else, but it turns out shes right here beside me, Bi Zhu said.

She didnt feel anything else except surprise.

This revelation didnt affect her opinion of Qiao Yi, who was still an important person to her.

You seem to know quite a few people, Princess, Qiao Yi said with a wry smile.

Thats because Im the number one genius in the Imperial City, Bi Zhu said with a smile.

Why arent you saying you are a genius unmatched in the entire world? Qiao Yi asked curiously.

Last time, I saw someone reach the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, so Bi Zhu sighed. I still have a long way to go.

Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment? Qiao Yi was quite surprised. She was very unfamiliar with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment and didnt expect the princess to casually mention it.

Yes, but the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is a long story. Lets not talk about it, Bi Zhu said seriously. Lets discuss the matter of the Saint Bandits. I heard that you know a lot about it?

I dont know much. Qiao Yi shook her head. I grew up in the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, so I know some secrets.

Did the Ancestral Dragons Heart seal the Saint Bandits? Bi Zhu got straight to the point.

Yes. Qiao Yi nodded. If he doesnt die, the Saint Bandits wont 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 doesnt wake up, the Saint Bandits will remain sealed forever. Now that there are signs of the Xuanyuan Clans awakening, thats why the heart of the Ancestral Dragon is sealed.

The Xuanyuan Clan declined because of this? Bi Zhu was surprised.

Qiao Yi shook her head. It shouldnt be just that. Maybe they saw their own

fate.

Bi Zhu sat still. She hadnt expected Qiao Yi to know so much.

What was the real reason for sealing the Saint Bandits? Bi Zhu asked.

Qiao Yi remained silent for a moment before answering, Because of their ideals.

What ideals? Bi Zhu asked.

Qiao Yi hesitated for a moment. Unity of Heaven and Earth.

Unity of Heaven and Earth? Bi Zhu was puzzled.

I dont know what it means. Anyway, they were despised by the world. Qiao Yi shook her head.

Bi Zhu didnt ask further and instead inquired about the Heart of the Ancestral Dragon.

The 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, Qiao Yi said.

Bi Zhu fell silent for a moment. What is the Heart of the Ancestral Dragon? What is its purpose?

Qiao Yi said, I dont know. Youll have to ask the Xuanyuan Clan.

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 Yes cultivation realm was still at the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Recently, there have been many people coming and going in the sect. I think they are preparing for the exchange meeting, said Kong Hu.

I asked about it last night, Nan Yushu said with surprise. They said that young disciples from the Blackheaven Sect are coming for the exchange. Its said that many of our sects elite disciples will be partic.i.p.ating. It seems like theyre coming with great enthusiasm.

Xia Cun nodded. Yes, after depletion of our sects resources, weve finally started to recover. Now the Blackheaven Sect is coming. They must be trying to take advantage of our weakened state.

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?

Actually, theres another theory. Nan Yushu hesitated. I heard some seniors say that the main reason the Blackheaven Sect is coming is because of the

Xuanyuan Clan.

The Xuanyuan Clan? 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 wasnt clear what these differences meant.

Jiang Hao realized that he still couldnt decipher the words he had heard in the Corpse Realm.

He had already learned a lot, but he still couldnt understand them.

He couldnt 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.

Thats right. Nan Yushu nodded. I heard that the Xuanyuan Clan has recovered their ancestors legacy and is now on the rise. They are partic.i.p.ating in the exchange with our sect to further their progress.

But the Blackheaven Sect has more than just the Xuanyuan Clan. Why would they help with this? Xia Cun asked.

Nan Yushu shrugged. Thats just one theory. In reality, many people are just curious about how the Xuanyuan Clan managed to recover their ancestors legacy.

Jiang Hao lowered his head. He probably had helped them with that.

He didnt 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.

Are you sure this is the meeting place? he asked.

Yu Wenjing was also puzzled. Yes, this is the place, but I dont understand why its chosen.

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.

Are you two looking for me? 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. Greetings, Senior. Wan Yanfeng also nodded in greeting.

He was somewhat surprised by the ident.i.ty of the person before him. Initially, it wasnt mentioned that this person was from the sect.

Is this the true disciple of Thunder Fire Peak? Hai Ming smiled. You dont need to doubt my ident.i.ty. I recently joined the sect. I didnt use any tricks..
