Chapter 502: The Heart Lamp Breaks Through the Mist

~16 min read 3,001 words

At this moment, the female attendants all around had all retreated. Seeing that there were no idlers to disturb, Xue Jing pondered slightly and opened his mouth frankly:

"These two things actually happened recently, and I only got the news not long ago. I originally wanted to send a letter to Miaobao Land for the True Person to read, but the True Person happened to come back.

I think face-to-face words should be better than pen and paper!"

Chen Hang pondered slightly:

"Is it about Yin Wuji's news, or what kind of wind Chen Yushu has released again?"

Among his disciples, Xue Jing was not only the one with the strongest supernatural powers, even slightly stronger than Yang Kezhen of the Great Knowledge Hall, but also the one with the widest social circle.

Whether it was the Xuan Sect Demon Sect, the side-door demon department, or the Brahma Heaven People, or the sects outside the sky, Xue Jing could find some ways to get into them.

And the two people Chen Hang just mentioned.

One is Yin Wuji, one is Chen Yushu.

The weight of the former has never been light. Since the meeting at the Ganliu Medicine Garden in Xisu Prefecture, both Chen Hang and Yin Wuji have had a deep impression of each other.

As early as that time, they had regarded each other as the formidable enemy in the struggle for the Danyuan leader in the future.

No one knows where Yin Wuji went to practice, and the news about his pill grade and his battle record after forming the pill has always been a mystery that makes people discuss it.

No one knows whether Yin Wuji has practiced the Inner Scene and perfected his cultivation.

Nor does anyone know which of the supreme supernatural powers of the Plague Sect he has practiced.

However, for this person who, as a direct descendant of a great family, could break the rules and become the disciple's disciple of the Weiyu Daoist Lord, the destined next generation Plague Sect Daoist Child.

Chen Hang has confidence that he can finally win the leader, but he will never underestimate him!

As for the latter, Chen Yushu, it goes without saying.

As long as this person is still in the world for one day, he doesn't know how many disasters he will cause, so Chen Hang naturally wants to understand his movements.

And hearing Chen Hang's words at this time, Xue Jing just shook his head and said:

"Either Yin Wuji has entered the forbidden area of the Plague Sect, or he has gone far outside the sky. True Person, please forgive me, even if I used the connections in the Plague Sect, I still didn't find any news about Yin Wuji.

As for Chen Yushu, besides confirming that he wants to intervene in Taichang Heaven, he is still opening an altar to preach in the cave heaven, attracting many Six Sect cultivators to listen."

Xue Jing said this, pondered, and then said:

"The two things Xue wants to report to the True Person are related to Ji Fakai in the sect...

As for the second, it involves the old acquaintance of the True Person when he was in the Changying Lower House, that True Person Jiang Daolian."

"Jiang Daolian, Jiang Shimei?"

Chen Hang frowned slightly, tapped the table with his fingers, and was lost in thought for a while.

After a while, he said to Xue Jing:

"Let's talk about True Person Ji first. What great thing has this person done recently?"

Xue Jing nodded and opened his mouth according to his words:

"Recently, the Daoist Child of Xuanfeng Cave personally took action. This person broke through the triple defensive array alone, seriously injured Wang Ruyi of the Yutian Yu Prefecture within a hundred moves, and uprooted more than half of my sect's Daoist pulse, and the Yu Prefecture could barely be defended.

After Ji Fakai received the sect talisman decree, he first fought a battle with the Xuanfeng Cave Daoist Child in Yu Prefecture, forcing the latter to retreat temporarily, and then gathered the remaining Yuchen troops in Yu Prefecture, and recovered the whole territory in ten days."

When he said this, Xue Jing paused, and a look of deep fear flashed in his eyes, saying:

"Now Wang Ruyi of Yu Prefecture has joined Ji Fakai's sect, willing to work for him.

And the Xuanfeng Cave Daoist Child is unwilling to give up. He doesn't think he lost to Ji Fakai at all, just feeling that he retreated temporarily because there were Yuchen Daoist troops watching from the side.

Now Ji Fakai has the intention to advance into other states of Yutian, wanting to expand the territory, and the Xuanfeng Cave Daoist Child has also gathered troops, giving birth to the idea of competing with Ji Fakai.

Many people in the sect are secretly watching the situation.

Looking at this Xuan-Demon struggle in Yutian, what form will it end in!"

Chen Hang heard this and remembered something, saying:

"The Xuanfeng Cave Daoist Child is the person who forcibly snatched the Buddha's Heavenly Ear through the method of 'Reversing the Pivot'?"

"Exactly!"

When mentioning the Daoist Child of Xuanfeng Cave, Xue Jing couldn't help but sigh:

"This 'Reversing the Pivot' method is one of the supreme supernatural powers of Xuanfeng Cave, having the great ability to snatch the creation of heaven and earth, forcibly suppress the supernatural powers of others, and then plunder them for one's own use!

The Xuanfeng Cave Daoist Child is named Mu Changzhi. When this person achieved the Primordial Spirit and traveled through the heavens, he targeted a powerful Buddha who had achieved 'Heavenly Ear'.

And after a bloody battle, Mu Changzhi not only ruined the life of that Buddha, but also took his 'Heavenly Ear' to carry with him, making the Primordial Spirits in the universe shocked and frightened.

Afterwards, Mu Changzhi even had the idea of fighting with True Person Master Junyao, but at that time True Person Jun had not much life left, and would not take action unless it was a matter of urgency, so these two did not truly meet in the Primordial Spirit realm."

Xuanfeng Cave Daoist Child, Mu Changzhi—

A person who has had amazing battle records and is also in the upper reaches among the Daoist Children of the Eight Sects and Six Schools.

He actually met Ji Fakai in Yutian and wanted to decide the final outcome. 【502-5

Speaking of this matter, it is inevitably going to attract attention.

And in the Yu Qi Heaven, Yu Province, Wang Ruyi...

At this moment, after Xue Jing finished speaking, Chen Heng searched his mind, quickly remembered the name, and nodded slightly.

Wang Ruyi—

When Chen Heng first heard this name, it was still in the Flowing Fire Liuhuo Liuhuo Honghua Mystic Realm.

Wang Ruyi was a descendant of Wang Zhiqiong, the eldest disciple of the Fire Glow Ancestor. When he was young, his family fell into poverty, and he relied on herding sheep for the people of the Brahma Crowd Heaven to survive. Later, because a Yuchen Elder happened to visit a friend in West Xi Su Zhou Zhou, Wang Ruyi was able to escape the sea of suffering, and from then on, he had the hope of cultivating the Dao.

And at the time of the Flowing Fire Liuhuo Liuhuo Honghua Mystic Realm, Wang Ruyi had already begun to stand out in Yuchen.

Because he eradicated several Dao veins of the Profound Abyssal Cave in the Yu Qi Heaven and unified the Yu Province, to reward his achievements, Yuchen not only bestowed various benefits but also simply gifted the Flowing Fire Liuhuo Liuhuo Honghua Mystic Realm to him, fulfilling their family's old friendship.

At that time, Chen Heng even regarded entering the Mystic Realm to cultivate as a great blessing, so how could he have ever seen such a grand gesture?

He naturally felt emotional in his heart and also remembered this person, Wang Ruyi.

Who would have thought that upon hearing this name again, those Dao veins of the Profound Abyssal Cave, dissatisfied with their foundation being taken away, did not know who they had entrusted, but actually caused even Mu Changzhi to come out of the mountains personally.

And Wang Ruyi, through a twist of fate, also entered Ji Fakai's mansion, standing on the opposite side of Chen Heng.

Thinking about it carefully.

The subtlety of worldly affairs is truly indescribable, like clouds rolling and unfolding, making it difficult for people to fathom...

"Wang Ruyi, if I remember correctly, this person's reputation in the sect is quite high, and before I was promoted to True Inheritor, many people in the sect speculated that Wang Ruyi might be Yuchen's sixth True Inheritor?"

Chen Heng smiled at this moment:

"Such a figure has even more prestige than Scripture Teacher Shen of the Changying Courtyard. Ji Fakai actually subdued this person; in the eyes of many, it is like adding wings to a tiger."

Xue Jing knew that the Scripture Teacher Shen Chen Heng mentioned was Shen Hunsu Yuan Zhi of the Lower Courtyard.

In Xue Jing's view, this person is also truly unfathomable.

She was clearly in the Jin Dan Realm and had already entered the Void Great Luo Law among Yuchen's twenty-five orthodox methods, but she had always kept it hidden and never revealed it to others for many years.

And now Shen Hunsu Yuan Zhi has clearly broken through the barrier of the Primordial Spirit, and her Dharma Form is achieved.

But she does not take up a post in the Nine Halls, just continuing to stay in the Yuchen Lower Courtyard, still acting as her Scripture Teacher.

Not long ago, even Zhang Taichu and Zhang Shou had successively recruited Shen Hunsu Yuan Zhi, promising heavy benefits, but the results were all politely declined by Shen Hunsu Yuan Zhi.

This made Xue Jing, who also held this thought, feel even more uncertain, and he could not help but lower his expectations for the long-overdue reply from Shen Hunsu Yuan Zhi...

"Is the reason Elder Xue said all this because you are worried about the subsequent struggle for the Dao Seed?"

At this moment, Chen Heng suddenly asked with a smile.

Xue Jing was silent for a moment, and also spoke frankly:

"True Person, please forgive me, I do have such concerns. Ji Fakai is not an ordinary person, and now he has the assistance of Wang Ruyi.

If he defeats the Profound Abyssal Cave Dao Seed Mu Changzhi in the Yu Qi Heaven, I am afraid his reputation in the sect will reach an unshakable level!

If Ancestor Shan Jian also exerts effort on the side at that time, under the circumstances of Ji Fakai returning with fame and reputation, I am afraid—"

"I am afraid that the Master will also find it difficult to block the dignified public opinion, and Ji Fakai entering the Xiyi Mountain may become an unchangeable fact?" Chen Heng interrupted casually.

Xue Jing was silent for a moment, his voice inevitably a bit heavy:

"The so-called public will is difficult to defy, public wishes are difficult to resist, and reputation is like a surging tide and long wind; even if the earth's dimensions are difficult to forbid, it cannot be ignored...

It is not that I underestimate the True Person or have two hearts. Since the day I held the pen to sign the contract, my life has been completely handed over to the True Person to be driven at will; even a hundred deaths would be without regret!

It is just that under such circumstances, can the True Person discuss it with the two Ancestors?"

Chen Heng smiled upon hearing this and shook his head:

"The Master is not in the Xudu Heaven at this time; even if I wanted to find him, I would be powerless.

As for Ancestor Weiling, Elder Xue, you do not know this Ancestor's temperament. If I really went to bother him with such trivial matters, I am afraid it would be counterproductive."

Xue Jing was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"It is not public opinion."

While Xue Jing was thinking, Chen Heng's voice suddenly sounded.

"Not public opinion?"

Xue Jing repeated in a low voice, his gaze hurriedly looking at Chen Heng.

"Even if Ji Fakai can be promoted to Dao Seed, public opinion is just an accessory; it is a natural thing and actually counts for nothing.

If he can really be the Dao Seed, it is because of his brilliant battle achievements before leaving the Xiaoming Xiao Daze, and because of his astonishing feat of defeating Mu Changzhi and suppressing the five True Inheritors of the sect in one breath after returning to the Xiaoming Xiao Daze!"

Chen Heng stood with his hands behind his back and spoke indifferently:

"And if the Master really lets Ji Fakai enter the Xiyi Mountain, it will definitely not be because of any public support...

It will only be because I lost.

I completely lost to Ji Fakai, that is all!"

Xue Jing's eyebrows jumped. In these words, he only felt a heavy pressure rumbling toward him, like a mountain pressing down on his head, making people inevitably tense up.

And the expression on Chen Heng's face was as usual, making it impossible for people to see any clues.

"However, if Ji Fakai really comes with the momentum of a great victory, if I want to maintain the so-called reputation in the sect and not let him monopolize the beauty, then there is only one way." Chen Heng said.

"May I ask the True Person, what is this method?"

Xue Jing's face became solemn, and he stood up to ask for advice with a bow.

Chen Heng walked forward a few steps slowly.

At this moment, the weather was excellent, and the morning light rippled and floated like water, pouring down.

Because no one spoke, the great hall was suddenly quiet, inexplicably adding a bit of solemnity and loftiness.

In those floating, shimmering golden rays, Chen Heng's eyebrows and eyes also seemed hazy, as if plated with a layer of flowing color, distant and profound.

"It is only to win the championship at the Danyuan Assembly and accomplish what Ji Fakai failed to accomplish back then."

A moment later, Xue Jing only heard Chen Heng's voice coming calmly from the front.

Xue Jing opened his mouth and stopped inexplicably, and the scene was left with only a silent stillness.

Xue Jing knew that the Danyuan Assembly was by no means an ordinary opportunity; it could be said to be a great fortune ranked at the top within the Xudu Heaven.

Forty-two first-class Jin Dan True Persons from all over the universe gathered in one hall; with the slightest carelessness, one would be knocked down into the dust in an instant, missing out on that great fortune.

And fighting to the end, I am afraid it would not just be a one-on-one situation, but facing the siege of multiple peers in the same realm.

The one most likely to win the Danyuan championship would inevitably be targeted by the remaining people, wanting to squeeze him out of the game first.

All kinds of traps and chaotic situations are just like surging waves, turning a hundred times in an instant!

Ji Fakai lost back then because of a thin line of difference.

And Master Junyao also showed signs of danger when facing the siege of several peers in the same realm during the final melee.

Xue Jing naturally had great confidence in Chen Heng; in his view, the latter was destined to be a figure who would become a master and ancestor.

But as for whether Chen Heng could win the championship at the Danyuan Assembly, Xue Jing did not dare to draw a conclusion.

Because the variables in this are truly too great, testing not only magic power and supernatural powers, but also the line of destiny in the dark.

The situation changes in an instant, and no one dares to say that they can easily push through all the way and grasp every opportunity and key point.

But the self-assured and calm meaning in Chen Heng's words made all the words Xue Jing wanted to say unspeakable.

He was stunned for a long time, then suddenly raised his head to look at Chen Heng.

At this moment, he seemed to have untied a cloud of doubt in his heart, suddenly clapping his hands and laughing loudly, his chest wide open, his spirit flying!

"That's right, that's right! If the True Person really wins the championship at the Danyuan Assembly, even if Ji Fakai comes with the momentum of a great victory in the Yu Qi Heaven, he will not be able to shake the True Person's authority for a while!

And if the True Person achieves the Primordial Spirit again, then—"

Xue Jing paced back and forth a few times before calming his mood, then he stopped the unfinished words in his throat and bowed apologetically to Chen Heng again.

"And the second thing Elder Xue mentioned is related to Jiang Shimei? When I was in the Lower Courtyard, I was once helped by Jiang Shimei with funds, and I know a little about her situation.

If my guess is correct, is it that someone in the Jiang clan wants to seize her family business this time?" Chen Heng waved his hand and asked suddenly.

"Exactly, but we remember that the True Person has some old friendship with that True Person Jiang, and by exerting effort in the dark, we thwarted the Jiang clan's scheme once."

Xue Jing was surprised when he heard this, but he didn't say much, just told the whole story of the cause and effect to Chen Heng.

After a while, Chen Heng shook his head and waved his sleeve.

"These aristocratic families."

A trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
