Chapter 386 - 384: The Coming Storm

Chapter 386: Chapter 384: The Coming Storm

"Just as I thought. The information on Jianmu can’t be trusted."

Xuan Wuya had nearly been finished.

He immediately took out his communicator.

Soon, he connected to someone.

A person’s face appeared on the screen.

Xuan Wuya waved his hand helplessly. "Old Man, this mission is impossible. That person on Jianmu is a powerhouse."

"Maybe as strong as you."

"And he doesn’t want anything. I almost got myself killed."

"The informant on Jianmu better pray for a good reincarnation. That guy is completely unreliable. The intel almost got me killed."

"Piss off."

"I’ve told you, no matter your status, you must maintain proper etiquette."

"If you die, that’s your own damn fault."

"Get your ass back here. You think I don’t know the intel was wrong? If you don’t change that attitude of yours, sooner or later you won’t even get the chance to reincarnate."

"This is different. I’m heading back."

"But there’s another one on Jianmu, from the Void Spirit Race. Are we just giving up like that?"

"We’re giving up. You’re more trouble than you’re worth and might even drag your own race down with you. Forget about training. Just come back, and we’ll talk."

"Alright, alright."

"Hanging up."

Xuan Wuya hung up.

But his gaze shifted, catching a glimpse of the shadows to the side.

"Hiding in the shadows in front of a member of the Dark Filth Race... you really want me to notice you, don’t you?"

"You Demon Charm from the Void Spirit Race."

"Demon Charm?"

"It’s been a long time since someone complimented a member of the Void Spirit Race like that."

From a corner, a voice emerged, as crisp and clear as a lark’s song, yet tinged with a lazy tone.

It was a presence neither truly enchanting nor entirely pure.

"A pity, but you guessed wrong."

Xuan Wuya suddenly felt a presence appear behind him.

He whipped his head around.

And saw a young girl, flickering between solid and ethereal, constantly shifting.

"To think they’d send an Enchantress as famous as you from the Eastern Domain."

"Hill, I never expected you to come to a remote place like Jianmu."

"Heh, little Crown Prince of the Dark Filth Race, this is no place for you."

"Leave."

"Soon, this place will only become more chaotic." Hill, the Void Spirit, chuckled softly, her voice ethereal and clear.

It made Xuan Wuya’s heart soften.

It was an emotional manipulation.

Xuan Wuya’s expression froze, and he immediately retreated a few steps.

"Hill, don’t get so close to me."

"I’m leaving."

Xuan Wuya was scared.

Though called an Enchantress, her power was effective on everyone, regardless of gender or age.

As long as one stayed by her side for too long...

...even an animal would have its mind altered, developing a strange affection for this Hill.

The reason she could cause such an effect...

...was her rare Talent, found among the Void Spirit Race and across the entire Eastern Domain: Heart Bewitchment.

In some places, this Talent was even called: Heart Calamity.

Xuan Wuya fled quickly.

Especially after seeing a member of the Void Spirit Race.

...

...

「Several days passed.」

Hill had bewitched nearly everyone on Jianmu, from top to bottom.

All of them were investigating Su Qing.

But most of them knew nothing.

A few only knew that he was an ancestor.

’Survived in the world of the shattered Greed Realm?’

’And he can even stand against the Greed Realm?’

Hill watched the recording of the battle between Su Qing and the Greed Realm.

Her face couldn’t help but show her shock.

’Holy hell.’

’No wonder the Void Spirit Race sent me here.’

’But for this, wouldn’t it be more appropriate to send someone at the Eleventh or Twelfth Step of the Dao Path?’

’How could a little girl like me pry his mouth open?’

’How could I take the seal of the Taichu Daoist Palace?’

’I can’t even think of a strategy.’

’If my Talent is useless...’

’...I’m going to lose my head.’

"Aiya, this won’t do. I’m leaving."

"I’m not taking this kind of mission."

"Looks like he’s another one with ties to the Taichu Daoist Palace."

The Void Spirit girl pondered the recording a few times, recalling how the Greed Realm had vanished some time ago.

Then, the Taichu Daoist Palace had suddenly distributed nine seals.

One of them belonged to this Su Qing.

’The Greed Realm... it’s rumored to be raised by the Black Abyss Dynasty, but who knows if that’s true.’

’Seducing Su Qing... I’d rather not court death.’

’If I play this too big, I’ll die,’ Hill thought, calming down.

She got up to leave.

Trying to take the seal from someone is a high-risk task.

Right now, the risk was clearly too great.

She wouldn’t be punished for returning to the Void Spirit Race.

...

"Another little one is about to leave."

Could Su Qing fail to notice these people staring at him?

And perhaps, some of them weren’t even people.

Su Qing could feel a gaze that was watching him through some kind of medium.

Perhaps it was through the tiny existences within the surrounding air.

’Why is something always staring at me?’

Su Qing murmured in confusion, his eyes flashing as he glanced toward a certain spot.

And then, the connection was severed.

"Your Excellency, we’ve been discovered again."

"Keep watching. We can’t touch the powers on Jianmu. The moment he dares to step out, notify me."

"Yes, sir."

A group of mountain-like beings stared at the screen that had just gone black.

The one in the lead was a dazzling, golden figure, clad in a powerful metal creation.

Every single one of them emanated the power of a Dao Path.

If Su Qing had been here to listen...

...he might not have understood what language they were speaking at all.

After all, this being’s language was different from any language Su Qing currently knew.

...

Su Qing had just gotten some peace and quiet...

...when he felt several powerful forces lingering outside Jianmu.

And they seemed to have their sights set on him.

Su Qing could sense it.

’It’s only been a few days.’

’I haven’t even had a few days to comprehend Dao Essence.’

’What is going on?’

’Could it be the Taichu Daoist Palace?’

’Is it because of the seal?’

’Ou Mingjie certainly knows a lot.’

Su Qing frowned. He could feel that several of the powers outside were immense.

If he compared them to the Greed Realm...

...the Greed Realm could swallow them all whole.

However, there were a few beings who felt, to Su Qing, like they were at least 1.1 Greed Realms in power.

Or perhaps equal to one Greed Realm.

If their strength was like the Greed Realm’s, without too many strange abilities...

...then even if there were two or three Greed Realm equivalents...

...Su Qing wouldn’t be concerned.

’Looks like I need to understand the power of the Dao Path better.’

’The powers outside all seem to come from the Dao Path.’

Su Qing silently rose to his feet.

He casually destroyed a reconnaissance device hidden within a mustard seed.

Then, Su Qing went to the Library of Omniscience.

Needless to say...

...he was going to read books about the Dao Path.

...

He hadn’t been reading for long...

...when he felt someone peeking at him.

Or rather...

...a guest had arrived.

This guest had come accompanied by a middle-aged woman.

The moment he entered, he saw Su Qing and started walking toward him.

But very quickly...

...he was stopped by Ke Hongmei.

"Qiangyan Race, you are not to approach."

"This person’s status is distinguished. You entered under a diplomatic capacity."

"You are not to interfere with him."

The man from the Qiangyan Race chuckled softly. "Of course, Dean Ke. I won’t cause any diplomatic disputes."

"And I certainly wouldn’t dare cause trouble right under the nose of the Taichu Daoist Palace."

"That’s good, then." Ke Hongmei sighed.

However...

...the man had already finished his provocation.

He shot Su Qing a contemptuous look.

Su Qing was unmoved.

’Do I care about them?’

’A guy on the Fire Dao Path.’

’On the Dao Path, it’s strong in the early stages, but compared to the more wondrous Dao Paths in the later stages...’

’...it’s pathetically weak.’

’Although he might also have something like an Annihilation Dao Path...’

’...which stands in opposition to my Immortal Dao Path.’

’But I’ve barely used the power of the Immortal Mark, and it’s not even my own power anyway.’

’I would never develop such a Dao Path.’

’It’s too slow.’

’It’s not as fast as improving my Immortal Domain Body and Cosmic Visualization.’

’Nor is it as fast as improving the Dao Nether Immortal Body and the Star Immortal Body. Choosing a distant, difficult path over a close, easy one would be mindless.’

’Just because you see a path doesn’t mean you have to walk it.’

...
