Boom!
Jiang Yi’s brain seemed to have exploded. As a matter of fact—after meeting the Mystic Thearch, he didn’t have time to think so much; the Mystic Thearch had also not given him the time to do so. Hence, Jiang Yi did not even think of the possibility that the three questions were tests and had answered based on his nature and instinct.
At this moment, he finally understood the Mystic Thearch’s true meaning and purpose. Jiang Yi bitterly smiled inside. This Number One Thearch through the ages should actually be known as the Number One Weirdest Person. His thought process was completely different from ordinary people. If one’s heart was not good, that person would probably be scared to death and teased to death by the Mystic Thearch.
Under the situation just now, no one would have questioned the Mystic Thearch. The Mystic Thearch’s words carried an inexplicable force behind them; no one would dare to go against him, to question him. Jiang Yi had completely thought it to be real and so had a.s.sumed that he would die without question.
The ending was one that no one knew whether to cry or laugh. Jiang Yi saw the Mystic Thearch’s smiling face and finally took a deep breath and relaxed. Of course, Jiang Yi did not dare to move recklessly but stood up and asked a question buried deep in his heart. “Why me?”
“There are many reasons.”
The Mystic Thearch thought for a moment, and then he smiled and answered. “You know how to absorb astral winds and also realized how to fuse them together. By these two factors themselves, you had already fulfilled the criteria of being my successor. Besides these, you had also subsequently completed all the trials and tests. When I look for a successor, a few important things I look at are these: giftedness, age, character, and—of course—honesty!
“You have all these qualities, and so you are also eligible to inherit my battle saber, battle armor, and the Mystic Divine Palace. I hope that you will not bring disgrace to these items; they have followed me throughout my battles for many years. If someone else manages to take them from you, you should commit suicide.”
“En!”
Jiang Yi nodded his head vigorously. He could see the feelings that the Mystic Thearch had for these three treasures. Since the Mystic Thearch had given them to him, they were akin to Jiang Yi’s life itself. Jiang Yi did not say much but genuflected and gave a deep bow.
“I do not have much time. This divine soul will dissipate at any moment. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.”
Mystic Thearch spoke again as his gaze looked towards the thatched house. “My battle armor is inside, together with a jade talisman. That is the crux controlling the Mystic Divine Palace. After you refine the jade talisman, the Mystic Divine Palace would be yours.”
“I can ask freely?”
Jiang Yi’s heart swooned; how could he let go of such a good opportunity? He thought for a second and asked, “Mystic Thearch, how is it that your divine soul has intelligence? Could it be you didn’t shatter the void and didn’t transcend?”
“Keke!”
The Mystic Thearch laughed slightly and answered, “Of course, I had shattered the void. I am now in a Higher Domain. This wisp of my soul was left behind years ago. I can naturally feel it. I am using my great ability to control this soul. If not, how could I talk to you like this?”
“Ah?”
Jiang Yi shuddered violently and asked emotionally, “Higher Domain? Mystic Thearch, are there really immortals in this world? Is the Higher Domain the Immortal Domain?”
“Hahaha!”
The Mystic Thearch laughed out loud a few times and said, “Is the Higher Domain the Immortal Domain? I guess you could say that. According to the sayings of the Stellarsky Continent, there are indeed True G.o.ds in the Higher Domain. If you are able to break through to become a nine-star martial expert and congeal your divine core, you can go to the Higher Domain as well. At that time, you can come and find me at the southernmost part of the Ten Thousand Saints Domain in the Stellarsky City. I am the City Lord there.”
“City Lord!”
Jiang Yi’s eyes lit up. It seemed like the Mystic Thearch was having a good time in the Immortal Domain. Some things could never change. It had been almost seven hundred thousand years, and yet the Mystic Thearch was still alive. It seemed that he had become a True G.o.d, immortal and indestructible.
“Mystic Thearch, why do you not come back to take a look at your people?”
Jiang Yi asked this feeling slightly puzzled. Since the Mystic Thearch had become a True G.o.d, he could come back anytime, couldn’t he? He could come back gloriously and be wors.h.i.+ped by everyone. He could bring some divine weapons and abilities to give to the people of the Stellarsky Continent or help more people in the Stellarsky Domain transcend. Once that happened, he could dominate the Immortal Domain as well.
“Hahaha!”
Mystic Thearch laughed again as he shook his head and said, “I also wish I could come back. However, I cannot. There are many things that I cannot explain to you. You should be good and cultivate more. Once you have transcended, you will understand many things. Okay, my G.o.d spirit is about to dissipate. Young man, if the Nine Thearch Clans are not too overbearing, you should forgive and forget. Also… the Stellarsky Domain might encounter some problems soon; you have to remember that if you are able to, you have to protect the human race. Even if you cannot win, you also need to try and preserve the human race.”
“Uh…”
The Mystic Thearch was a True G.o.d. Since even he was speaking so seriously, it seemed like something big was about to happen. To preserve the human race? This seemed like an exceptionally serious matter. However, as the Mystic Thearch’s divine soul was about to disappear, Jiang Yi did not dare to ask more. He nodded vigorously and said, “As a member of the human race, I will give it my all!”
The Mystic Thearch’s soul spirit was already becoming very thin. At the last moment, Jiang Yi thought of something and asked again. “Mystic Thearch, my dantian has transformed; so has my soul spirit. I’m not sure… do I still stand a chance at reaching the peak stage of the martial dao? Can I shatter the void?”
“Your existence is rationale!”
The Mystic Thearch’s soul spirit thinned even further, his voice also becoming softer as he said, “The martial art that you are cultivating—to be honest, I do not understand it completely. However, it should not be that weak. You have only to continue cultivating it, and that should be sufficient. All three thousand great daos will all lead back to the same endpoint. Finally, to become a G.o.d, it also depends on your realization of the Heavenly Dao. Work hard, young man. I am waiting for you in the Ten Thousand Saints Domain…”
“Do not understand?”
Jiang Yi’s blurry eyes blinked. If even the Mystic Thearch could not understand, was the Nameless Divine Art precious or worthless?
Hoo-Hoo!
Jiang Yi sat down on the ground and was in a daze. He sat there for five minutes before he looked towards Yi Chan and her exquisite face. He took a further glance at her body and turned red, hurriedly averting his gaze.
At this time, there were no more restrictions on his essence force; his divine senses could also be used at will. Jiang Yi took a look at Yi Chan, made sure that she was alright before walking towards the Mystic Divine Saber. This was a divine artifact.
“This is a great item! A great item!”
Jiang Yi looked at the narrow and long battle saber that was plunged into the ice. The black blade was three feet long, and the handle had many mysterious black dao markings. It felt as if the battle saber had a certain aura of its own; Jiang Yi’s breathing had also accelerated being close to it.
Jiang Yi slowly stretched out his hand and held on the battle saber. At that moment, there was a sudden palpitation in his body. Suddenly, the Fire Spirit Pearl he had lit up and started to radiant red light.
“Uh?”
Jiang Yi was shocked as he realized that the Mystic Divine Saber was also shaking incessantly as if it had a spirit of its own. The Fire Spirit Pearl also started to tremble violently and flew out from Jiang Yi’s robe, floating in mid-air.
“This, this, this!”
Jiang Yi saw that the Mystic Divine Saber had also flown into the sky and was flying without restraint towards the Fire Spirit Pearl. At this moment, the Fire Spirit Pearl’s radiance grew even brighter, and the Fire Dragon Sword inside it was released. The Fire Spirit Pearl entered the Fire Dragon Sword as the two weapons clashed together as two streaks of rainbow light.
Buzz!
What made Jiang Yi completely flabbergasted was that a glaring red light had shone out, forcing Jiang Yi to close his eyes. When he opened them, the Mystic Divine Saber had disappeared. All left in mid-air was the Fire Dragon Sword that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him!
It was familiar because the Fire Dragon Sword retained its connection with Jiang Yi’s soul spirit; this was indeed his Fire Dragon Sword. However, it was unfamiliar as the Fire Dragon Sword had been transformed. It not only appeared slightly different, but its aura was also extremely frightening. The aura seemed to be even stronger than that of the Mystic Divine Saber.
