Chapter 145: Detailed Timeline Organization

Thanks to the big shot who sings in fast-transmigration power fantasies for the tip and the burst of updates; this extra update is for you!

Jiang Xun roughly organized this messy timeline; it is currently the year 4025.

In 2001, the Demon Race invaded the Northern Wasteland on a large scale. The Junlin Dynasty, where Jun Tianling was located, was destroyed by the Demon Race, and Jun Tianling escaped alone.

It seems this was also the year the Tu family was wiped out. Tu Qingtian fled with Tu Nan and Tu Mo, though at this moment they were only cultivators around the Foundation Establishment Stage, in a dormant phase.

In 2023, Jun Tianling entered Tianling City to challenge the Tianyu Holy Emperor. After severely wounding the Holy Emperor, he fled to Dongming. In the same year, the Tianyu Holy Emperor abdicated.

In 2025, Jun Tianling met the Tang Ming Holy Emperor and the Qingming Sword Saint Tang Qingming in Dongming, and with Jiang Xun's help, killed Tang Qingming to become a Saint.

In the same year, the Tang Ming Dynasty fell into internal strife; Tang Ying left the Tang Ming Dynasty and established the Baihua Sect.

In 2124, Tang Ying and Jun Tianling met, and in 2190, they established the Void Sect.

Thereafter, the two began a thousand-year-long period of closed-door cultivation and gathering forces.

In 2945, Tang Ying left the Void Sect and returned to the Baihua Sect.

In 3025, Tang Ying left the Baihua Sect for Tianling City; after being targeted by the Tianyu Dynasty, she was killed by Si Yuyan.

In 3026, the Void Sect was destroyed, Jun Tianling's whereabouts became unknown, and Si Yuyan sealed the Void Sect.

In 4025, the Void Sect Secret Realm opened; Jiang Xun came to the Void Sect and brought Si Yuyan out.

At this moment, Jun Tianling was no longer in the Void Sect, and Tang Ying's corpse was not to be seen either.

Calculating it this way, Tang Ying's death actually occurred before the destruction of the Void Sect.

Could it really be as Lin Feng of the Spirit Sound Sect said, that it was because Tang Ying caused Jun Tianling to suffer a cultivation deviation that the Void Sect was destroyed?

Otherwise, with Jun Tianling's strength as a Saint Great Perfection back then, plus the strength of Si Yuyan, who had just killed Tang Ying and become a Saint, it would have been impossible for the Void Sect to be taken.

Unless a Supreme intervened.

But according to records, no Supreme intervened, and Zhongli Lingyu did not mention any Supreme intervening.

Uh...

Did Jun Tianling and Si Yuyan fight over Tang Ying?

That doesn't seem right either; Jun Tianling doesn't like women, so even if she knew Si Yuyan killed Tang Ying, it should have been a matter of indifference to her.

There is one more point: Jiang Xun and Jun Tianling's time seems to be different. The first time Jiang Xun took control of Jun Tianling's body was in 2023.

The second time was in 2025; two years had passed for Jun Tianling, while only half a month had passed on his side.

"What is the situation with the Tang Ming Dynasty now?" Jiang Xun asked after thinking for a moment.

"The current Emperor of the Tang Ming Dynasty is Tang Ying's younger brother, named Tang Shanhe. He is only an Integration Realm cultivator, so the current Tang Ming Dynasty is merely a vassal of the Lingyun Dynasty."

Zhongli Lingyu said.

"According to that, you have met Jun Tianling and you have also met Si Yuyan, so when the Void Sect was besieged back then, who was guarding it?"

"Si Yuyan."

"And Jun Tianling?"

"Ever since Tang Ying left the Void Sect, Jun Tianling never showed her face again. Because, in fact, many people had never seen what Jun Tianling looked like and only recognized that sword called Soul Suppressor, so everyone took Si Yuyan to be Jun Tianling. Not many people know what I've just said."

"Then how do you know?"

"This is the biggest secret of Wangyue Pavilion; it cannot be told."

Zhongli Lingyu waved her hand and smiled.

Wangyue Pavilion had existed for five thousand years, which was even longer than the Ning'an calendar had existed.

In these five thousand years, Wangyue Pavilion had developed countless subordinates and had already formed an industrial chain.

Commoners, sect disciples, aristocratic family disciples, family servants, dynasty disciples, dynasty servants, beggars on the street, old men fishing, etc. —it could be said that Wangyue Pavilion's eyes and ears were everywhere in the world.

They all spontaneously became eyes and ears for Wangyue Pavilion, and no matter what news they obtained, they would pass it to Wangyue Pavilion.

From major dynasty gossip down to a dog on the side of the road being bitten to death by another dog.

As long as their news was bought by someone else at Wangyue Pavilion, and Wangyue Pavilion received two hundred High-grade Spirit Stones, the person who provided the news would receive fifty Spirit Stones.

Of course, the more valuable the news, the more Spirit Stones Wangyue Pavilion would ask for, and the more Spirit Stones the person providing the news would receive.

"Does the young master have anything else he would like to ask?" Zhongli Lingyu then looked at Jiang Xun and asked.

"Can you help me check on Jun Tianling's whereabouts?" Judging from what Zhongli Lingyu had just said, she also did not know where Jun Tianling was now.

"I can try, but whether I can find out or not, you have to pay now."

"Including the previous amount, I will give you twenty thousand High-grade Spirit Stones." Jiang Xun took out a Storage Bag and placed it in Zhongli Lingyu's hand.

"The young master is generous." Zhongli Lingyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and accepted it directly.

【Ding, twenty thousand High-grade Spirit Stones gifted successfully!】

【Obtained return: ten thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones!】

"This is my Communication Jade Tube; if there is any news, contact me immediately."

Jiang Xun placed another Jade Slip on the table and said.

"No problem."

Zhongli Lingyu nodded and accepted the Jade Slip.

"Farewell."

Jiang Xun nodded and stood up to leave.

Zhongli Lingyu also stood up to see him off, escorting Jiang Xun all the way out of Wangyue Pavilion.

"I feel like the sky has collapsed."

After walking out of Wangyue Pavilion, Si Yuyan slumped on the ground and said listlessly.

"I now understand what they mean by 'three women make a play'; you three have been tossing and turning for over two thousand years."

Jiang Xun curled his lips and said.

"I'm a bit lost now. What should I do next? Since I am not Jun Tianling, is there any need for me to investigate Tang Ying's affairs? And why do I have memories of being in love with Tang Ying?"

Si Yuyan ignored Jiang Xun's snarky remark and spoke up.

"It's not about whether you want to investigate or not anymore; my curiosity has been piqued. Regardless, I am going to investigate, and I'm going to the Void Sect first."

"Why go to the Void Sect?" Si Yuyan asked.

"You brought Tang Ying's body back to the Void Sect back then. We didn't search carefully at the time; perhaps Tang Ying's body was left by you somewhere on Xuwang Mountain." Furthermore, Jiang Xun recalled that Tang Qingming's sword had been sent flying by a single flame strike from Jun Tianling, and it was still stuck somewhere within Xuwang Mountain now.

Jiang Xun had a theory in his heart.

It was now certain that Tang Ying had stayed at the Void Sect for a long time, and she was not in a romantic relationship with Jun Tianling.

It might have been with Si Yuyan.

Later, Tang Ying saw that sword on Xuwang Mountain, associated the time of her mother's disappearance with the time Jun Tianling became a Saint, and upon seeing her mother's sword, she must have realized that Jun Tianling had killed her mother.

Because of this, she fought with Jun Tianling, and Si Yuyan must have been in a very difficult position caught in the middle.

Perhaps it was Jun Tianling's intention that she went to Tianling City to kill Tang Ying?

Even though Si Yuyan already had her own physical body, she was still an Artifact Spirit at the end of the day, and she still had to obey her master's orders.

Therefore, under Jun Tianling's instruction, Si Yuyan killed Tang Ying and also came to hate Jun Tianling.

That was why she wanted to kill her when she saw Jun Tianling's portrait.
