Chapter 504 - 280: Was it Meng Qiewei Who Left the Note?

Chapter 504: Chapter 280: Was it Meng Qiewei Who Left the Note?

True Master Tai Hua sat at the head of the main hall.

Theoretically, his mission was already complete, and he could leave in the coming days.

But he chose to remain.

And while he was at it, he would offer some guidance to the Wuyun Sect.

Furthermore, he had received some strange news from the Immortal Sect’s territory that left him vaguely unsettled.

This was not a place to linger.

It didn’t matter for the others, but it was best that he left.

Even so, he had no choice but to stay for now.

The note was worth the risk.

But the other party had yet to make another move.

It seemed they wanted him to find the person himself.

’Someone who can take something from right under my nose without a sound should be stronger than me, but...’

True Master Tai Hua was completely baffled.

’Does the Wuyun Sect even have someone like that?’

Theoretically, no such person existed.

He had a basic grasp of how many experts were in the Immortal Sect.

Even if there were hidden experts, there would still be traces to follow.

But none were connected to the Wuyun Sect.

’Then is it someone weaker than me?’

The moment the thought arose, True Master Tai Hua felt a sense of resistance.

He was reluctant to admit that someone weaker than him could silently snatch something from right under his nose.

After a brief internal struggle, he decided to proceed with that assumption.

But upon reflection, no one fit the description.

There were people weaker than him everywhere, but anyone capable of this feat certainly couldn’t be too weak.

Yet the strongest people here were only so-so; they couldn’t pull it off without a sound.

Even with the aid of various Talents and Divine Techniques, they could at most take the item, but not without anyone noticing like this.

Let alone leave a note behind.

’No one... so what direction should my speculation take? Or did I miss someone? Someone special?’

The Wuyun Sect did have a special person.

Someone whose identity even he didn’t know.

Zui Fusheng.

But his strength shouldn’t be that great.

Otherwise, there would be no need to come to the Wuyun Sect with such a mysterious identity to carry out a secret mission.

Clearly, someone wanted to provide cover for him and prevent any accidents.

So he could basically be ruled out.

True Master Tai Hua pondered for a long time before something suddenly occurred to him.

It was because of this that he felt he needed to leave this place as soon as possible.

It was the secret rumor circulating from the Ji Family.

That person from the Ji Family had appeared in the Wuyun Sect.

His first instinct was that the news was false.

Because if that person from the Ji Family truly went out, her own clan would never leak the information.

This news felt more like a countermove against the Bai Family’s intelligence.

But...

What if?

’If it really is her, then it all makes sense. Taking something from me without a sound, leaving a note, and testing me in the process.’

’She’s stronger than me, has a reclusive personality, knows a great deal of secrets, and understands that the Void Spirit Eyes are important to me.’

Everything added up.

For a moment, True Master Tai Hua felt he was on the verge of the truth.

He even began to consider how to approach her without being too abrupt.

Because there was a chance he was wrong.

One, he could have guessed wrong. Two, she might not actually be the one who left the note.

But if all of that was wrong, then who could this person be?

True Master Tai Hua fell silent for a long time.

He began to deliberate again, weighing the probability that it was the one from the Ji Family.

But as he deliberated, he suddenly stopped.

Then, a cold sweat broke out on his brow.

Based on her strength and status, she was indeed the only possible candidate.

But there was one fatal problem.

How could the Immortal Sect possibly hand over the Immeasurable Calamity Stone to her?

That was absolutely impossible.

’Was my line of reasoning wrong again?’

True Master Tai Hua was silent for a long while as a torrent of thoughts flooded his mind.

He believed that even if the one from the Ji Family really was here, she couldn’t possibly have obtained the Immeasurable Calamity Stone.

Unless someone else had taken the item and left the note.

At this thought, True Master Tai Hua felt it was a possibility.

That person took the item and, knowing someone understood the Void Spirit Eyes, left the note.

The rest was up to him to figure out.

As for who could provide the cure, the person couldn’t conveniently mention it.

He needed to guess on his own.

In an instant, True Master Tai Hua’s eyes narrowed slightly.

’It all fits again. But if I think along these lines, the number of candidates grows. Zui Fusheng becomes a possibility, too.’

’But would Zui Fusheng also be inconvenient to mention?’

He couldn’t be sure, but it was certainly another option.

’So that’s two options. Who should I look for first?’

The one from the Ji Family was too important to be questioned directly.

There were risks whether the rumor was true or false.

So he decided to pursue the safer lead first.

With that in mind, he decided to contact Zui Fusheng first and see.

「November 1st.」

Jiang Man had been focused on his Cultivation.

His Visualization Skill had already reached Great Success, and now he needed to raise the level of his Primordial Spirit.

He continued to accumulate Spirit Gourds.

Once he gathered nine of them, his Primordial Spirit would complete the first step of solidification.

Afterward, by coordinating his Cultivation and Physical Body, he could attempt to fully solidify it.

This path was a long one.

The time he had left was rather tight.

So, for the past few days, he had been considering whether he could first raise the intrinsic level of his Primordial Spirit.

To the Ninth Layer first.

Theoretically, it was impossible. In practice, it was indeed impossible.

But as long as he could master his power with enough balance, it was possible to minimally raise his Physical Body and Cultivation to push his Primordial Spirit to Great Success.

However, this was extremely difficult. It wasn’t enough to just learn how; he also had to find the balance point for his Spiritual Qi, and the level of control required was exceedingly high.

When circulating his Cultivation Skill, he would also need to find a new approach.

The difficulty was no less than learning a new Top-grade Skill, or even creating a Top-grade Skill himself.

Even Old Huang could only offer limited advice after looking at it.

Until he read the insights given to him by Ji Hao.

He was absolutely astonished.

It not only described how to find the balance point of his Spiritual Qi, but it even detailed the equilibrium of the Physical Body and the branching specifics of circulating a Cultivation Skill.

Furthermore, it contained numerous key points for improving any one of these aspects.
