Chapter 6743: Qing Ji Has Something

“Please elaborate, Young Noble.” She said.

“How can someone pass down bloodlines on a massive scale without anyone knowing?” He said.

“Hmm…” She pondered.

“Hiding from people is one thing, but the villainous heaven? I’m interested in the method.” He continued.

“So you wish to research more about the divine bloodlines? That’s still the key point.” She asked.

“What are you trying to say?” He smiled.

“I dare not have an opinion in your presence, Young Noble.” She said.

“You were rather persistent in becoming a maid, now you don’t dare to have an opinion?” He smiled.

“You think too highly of me, Young Noble. My opinions are shallow and inaccurate.” She shook her head.

“If you’re just a maid, then I don’t need you. Anyone else will do.” He said.

“I won’t forget your grace and generosity.” She bowed.

“Speak up now, it’s fine if it is dumb, it would be my fault for taking in a dumb maid.” He joked.

“Perhaps there’s a different way you can approach this.” She said.

“Go on.” He said.

“Qing Ji had something back then.” She said.

“That divine beast?” He smiled.

“Yes, the divine beast that was defeated by Empress Hong Tian.” She said.

“So many coincidences. The beast was killed here, I’m here, and now you’re here.” He nodded.

“Young Noble, nothing happens without coincidences.” She said.

“Well said.” Li Qiye clapped and said: “What do you think is the point of Qing Ji’s thing?”

“It doesn’t belong to Divine Firmament. All I know is, Qing Ji risked everything for it.” She said.

“How do you know it doesn’t belong to Divine Firmament?” He asked.

“Because the divine beasts would have pursued him, not Empress Hong Tian. It couldn’t have been crucial to their world.” She said.

“True, it’s not difficult to speculate on it though.” He said.

“What do you think it is?” She couldn’t help but ask.

“A type of rune.” He smiled.

“I don’t believe it is in Empress Hongtian’s possession.” She said.

“So it is in this world right now.” He said.

“I’m not sure but if Qing Ji was willing to risk everything for it, it should be with Qing Ji until death.” She said.

“That’s one possibility.” He said: “But there’s one problem.”

“Which is, Young Noble?” She asked.

“If I remember correctly, Divine Firmament has a phoenix.” He said.

“Long, long ago.” She paused briefly before continuing: “Phoenix Queen failed her shored ascension and passed away.”

“I haven’t heard of this.” He stroked his chin.

“Skykiller True Dragon spoke of this but normally, Divine Firmament rarely communicates with outsiders.” She said.

“So Phoenix Queen perished before Skykiller True Dragon.” He said.

“Yes, Young Noble.” She nodded.

“Interesting, whose death was more inexplicable?” He asked.

“Certainly the true dragon lord’s death, an unanswered mystery.” She said.

“Go on.” He asked.

“In the words of mortals, it would be considered a locked-room murder.” She said.

“A murder.” He smiled.

“The dragon lord’s lifespan didn’t run out, nor was it a tribulation.” She said.

“What do you think happened?” He asked.

“It’s a mystery in Divine Firmament, none was there to witness it.” She said.

“Given the number of slumbering beasts there, even a mosquito flying in would be detected.” He smiled.

“Indeed, any outsider would have been spotted.” She said.

“Infiltrating Divine Firmament isn’t hard, but killing Skykiller True Dragon is, if the premise is true.” He said.

“Hmm…” She contemplated in silence.

“Do you think anyone can kill a true dragon with a paramita body?” He asked.

“Perhaps.” She hesitated.

“Long ago, I didn’t think there was anyone capable of killing Skykiller True Dragon silently.” She explained: “Both Dusk and Heavenfall weren’t at this level. It would have been a fight crushing Divine Firmament.”

“That’s why Divine Firmament didn’t pursue this matter and assumed it was a matter of cultivating going wrong.” He said.

“Do you believe this too, Young Noble?” She asked.

“You are smart enough to know the answer.” He smiled.

“Is there a reason why you disagree with Divine Firmament’s assessment?” She asked.

“That would require starting from another story.” His eyes turned profound during a brief pause. He then stared at her and said: “Let’s talk about your guess first.”

“After Heaven Pit, both Heaven Essence and Immortal Hunt became exposed and defeated. Heaven Essence’s origin could be speculated, more or less, but not Immortal Hunt.” She said.

“This is a high-level match of the immortal level. Even overlords are not qualified to figure it out.” He said while staring at her, hinting at something.

“I hear of these matters occasionally.” She didn’t react to the implication as if she didn’t understand.

“Is that so? Go on.” He nodded.

“Although Immortal Hunt was mysterious, Qing Ji became a good starting point. After all, even primordial immortals couldn’t convince a divine beast to leave their world.” She said.

“Yes, a mature divine beast, who can persuade him?” He smiled.
