Chapter 459 - 458: Son of Celestial Favor or Daughter of Celestial Favor?

Chapter 459: Chapter 458: Son of Celestial Favor or Daughter of Celestial Favor?

To Jiang Zuo, this woman wasn’t strange, but she was extremely dangerous.

Jiang Zuo never imagined he would run right into this person.

Jiang Zuo didn’t know her name, but they had met once before.

This was the person who had once challenged him with the Stone of Seven Emotions and Six Desires. Although Jiu Xi had ultimately crushed her, her strength was still considerable.

A practitioner of Supreme Forgetting Emotions, a Pseudo-Supreme existence.

However, that all happened much later on. This person’s Cultivation speed was far too slow.

And that was despite her cultivating the extraordinary Seven Emotions and Six Desires Technique.

But seeing her now, Jiang Zuo realized she hadn’t cultivated the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Technique. In other words, the Stone of Seven Emotions and Six Desires was not currently in her possession.

’That’s a good thing, I suppose.’

With his current strength, Jiang Zuo was no match for this woman at all, unless he had Jian Shisan step in.

Then, Su Qi added, "That woman is so beautiful. I used to think my senior sister was the prettiest person alive, but I never thought I’d see a woman even more captivating than her."

Jiang Zuo turned Su Qi’s head to face him and said, "Alright now. Whether other people are beautiful or not is their business. First, let me have a taste to see if you’re sweet.

We wouldn’t want you to keep thinking about it."

Su Qi: "Mmph..."

————

"Was my greeting just now acceptable?" An Xi asked.

Gu Jiansheng said, "You are a quick study, Senior."

"Oh, really?" An Xi’s tone shifted, now laced with a hint of coldness. "Human, do you feel safe?"

Gu Jiansheng immediately lowered his head. "I wouldn’t dare."

"It had better be," An Xi said, walking ahead. "That man just now was unusual. I couldn’t see through his Cultivation. And the woman as well... I actually felt a faint sense of danger from her."

Gu Jiansheng was surprised. ’Weren’t those two perfectly ordinary?’

He didn’t press the matter, however. Her Cultivation was far beyond his; it was only natural that she could see or sense things he couldn’t.

"By the way, is almost everyone here a couple?" An Xi asked.

Gu Jiansheng nodded. "That’s right. But there’s an event going on right now, so the numbers should be more balanced."

"Human. From this moment on, I permit you to walk alongside me. I permit you to call me by my name. I permit others to mistake us for a couple. And I permit you to declare to the world that I am your partner.

"Be grateful," An Xi said suddenly.

Gu Jiansheng’s face twitched. ’Did I agree to this?’

’I don’t need this.’

"Human?" the icy voice sounded once more.

"Yes, Senior. This junior is filled with trepidation," Gu Jiansheng said with his head lowered.

An Xi remained expression-less, as if nothing in the world could move her.

Everything she did was merely a means to better integrate into this world and learn its secrets.

And ultimately, to destroy it.

They had stumbled upon this world by accident, originally thinking it was a place they could take as they pleased.

But the appearance of King Qin Wu changed everything. Not only was this place not theirs for the taking, his presence made all other races tremble in fear.

If not for a Child of Celestial Favor from a certain place making a move, no one could have forced King Qin Wu to his death.

And although other places also paid an extremely heavy price, humanity still won in the end.

But thankfully, King Qin Wu was dead.

As long as King Qin Wu lived, a blade hung constantly over their heads. Everyone had wanted him dead.

’Speaking of which, does this world have a Son of Celestial Favor, or a Daughter of Celestial Favor?

After all these years, they should have appeared by now. Logically, shouldn’t their path have begun?

I need to investigate,’ An Xi muttered to herself.

She was quite curious. Some beings couldn’t get near Celestial Favor, but she was considered an ordinary figure in that regard. She could do more than just get close—she could even kill its bearer.

The only thing she needed was to find the bearer of Celestial Favor.

However, Celestial Favor was too unique. It was nearly impossible for her to find its bearer alone. Only those who were unable to get close to Celestial Favor could accurately locate it.

Gu Jiansheng listened from the side, not saying a word.

Besides, he didn’t really understand what the woman was talking about.

————

Within the Sword Cultivation Lineage, the Curse Power still lingered. The disciples of the lineage were all working hard to purge it.

Chen An and Chen Yu were among them.

"Senior Brother, this really does temper our Sword Intent. It’s just a shame it’s so dangerous," said Chen Yu.

"It is dangerous," said Chen An. "And there’s no telling when the one inside might get out. Let’s hope there’s a solution. Luckily, that senior stepped in. Otherwise, we would have been truly finished."

Chen Yu agreed. "It’s true. I heard many of the seniors went in to take a look and concluded that the Celestial Permanence Seven Veins lack the power to stop that entity.

"Now, the higher-ups of the Celestial Permanence Seven Veins are all in a panic.

"But I’m not too worried. As long as you’re here, Senior Brother, I’ll be fine. My heart is..."

"Junior Sister, keep it down! Keep it down!" Chen An frantically interrupted her.

’Who knows, another sword might fall from the sky and strike me. Then I’d really be finished.’

Chen Yu covered her mouth and nodded. "We’ll talk about it in secret when we get back."

Chen An: "..."

He just hoped he could live a little longer.

Just then, a figure drifted past them, but they remained completely unaware.

’So it really wasn’t someone from the Celestial Permanence Seven Veins,’ the Silver Armor Leader thought as he walked into the Secret Realm. He had just learned from those two that a senior had made a move.

’And that person wasn’t from the Sword Cultivation Lineage, or rather, not from the Celestial Permanence Seven Veins at all.’

’This person is by no means ordinary.’

Soon, he arrived at the location of the Seal.

He took in the sight of the Seal and came to a conclusion. ’It was indeed fully activated, but the Seal itself isn’t complete.’

’Still, this proves he has surpassed that threshold. How did he manage it?’

The Silver Armor Leader didn’t believe this person had already reached that legendary Realm. If that were the case, there would have been no need to activate the Seal; they could have simply obliterated the Master of Curses directly.

The Silver Armor Leader then carefully inspected the Seal, but ultimately found no trace of the caster’s aura on it.

This meant he had no way of knowing who the person was, leaving him without a single clue.

"Fellow Daoist, this humble one feels an affinity with you. I would like to offer you a divination. Would you accept?" A sudden voice startled the Silver Armor Leader.

He spun around to look and only then discovered a Daoist standing behind him, though he had no idea when the man had appeared.

"And who might you be, Fellow Daoist?" the Silver Armor Leader frowned. The man’s Cultivation was bizarre. It didn’t seem high, yet it gave him the strange illusion of being completely unattainable.

But on closer inspection, it appeared to be just an ordinary level of Cultivation.

The Daoist replied, "This humble one was merely passing by and happened to notice our karmic affinity, Fellow Daoist."

The Silver Armor Leader immediately replied, "Then I ask for your guidance, Fellow Daoist."

The Daoist smiled faintly. "A single divination from me can resolve a thousand sorrows, peer into all mysteries, and foresee all dangers.

"One divination requires but a single Third-Grade Spirit Stone."

The Silver Armor Leader didn’t hesitate for a moment, tossing a Spirit Stone over directly. ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

’It’s only a Third-Grade Spirit Stone,’ he thought. ’It doesn’t matter if this is real or fake.’

He couldn’t care less.

After accepting the Third-Grade Spirit Stone, the Daoist said plainly, "You may proceed to the Sea of Seven Emotions. You will certainly find something there, but it may not be what you expect.

"But remember this: do not engage."
