1052 Sonar Thearch

Absence really made the heart grow fonder. Hu Danni was very clear that Jiang Yi was not going to stay for long and treasured every moment she had with him. She also wanted to repay Jiang Yi for what he had done; if not for Jiang Yi, she and the children would have long died. They would also not be having such a peaceful and comfortable life. Hence, she attended to Jiang Yi with all her heart and with all her strength. Huo Danni used every trick up her sleeve, even giving Jiang Yi the Butterfly's Spring that she had accumulated for the past two years.

The Butterfly Lady Race valued their Butterfly's Spring the most. Jiang Yi's Rainbow Soul Spear received the condensation from the Butterfly's Spring, and its power was boosted.

Those few days, Jiang Yi enjoyed himself immensely; he almost couldn't even walk. Huo Danni's Dance of the Butterfly was too formidable. If it was not because Jiang Yi's constitution was strong, he would definitely not have been able to last.

After staying in Black Flag City for five days, Jiang Yi prepared to depart. The journey to Mystic Divine Mountain was far; it took a year by the Tang Clan's Heaven Fate Ship. If he stayed any longer, he would not make it for the day that the restrictions on Mystic Divine Mountain were relaxed.

"Brother, you are heading to Mystic Divine Mountain?"

Inside the study in the city, Qi Tianchen had made arrangements for Jiang Yi to take the Heaven Fate Ship and knew that Jiang Yi was headed to Mystic Divine Mountain. Jiang Yi trusted Qi Tianchen very much and did not hide anything from him. Jiang Yi nodded and said, "I am heading to Mystic Divine Palace to retrieve a treasure."

"This…"

Qi Tianchen lowered his head as he became troubled and said, "Brother, the Nine Thearchs have all gone to Mystic Divine Mountain. However, no one has been able to head up the mountain. You have a way up?"

"Hehe."

Jiang Yi smiled lightly and did not explain further. He said, "I will try my best; I will only know if I try."

"Brother, since you have already decided, I will not say more." Qi Tianchen's face grew serious as he advised Jiang Yi. "Brother, it is best if you kept a low profile this time. You cannot cause any more trouble. If the North Thearch found out about you, he will personally come and kill you. Also, along the way, you can disembark and head to Divine Sonar Valley to see the Sonar Thearch. He will give you a lot of help."

"Sonar Thearch?"

Jiang Yi looked at Qi Tianchen in surprise. This is his first time hearing this name. By right, only top-notch martial experts would dare call themselves a Thearch. If any ordinary person was to claim that title, the Nine Thearchs would definitely slaughter that person. Since this person dared to call himself a Thearch, he was definitely a famous martial expert on the continent. Why had he not heard of Sonar Thearch before?

Qi Tianchen saw the confused look on Jiang Yi's face and understood in an instant. He explained, "Oh? I forgot that you do not know the situation on the East Imperial Continent that well. Sonar Thearch had always been in seclusion, cultivating the past ten-odd years. It is normal that ordinary people have not heard about him. Jiang Yi… I have told you before that on the East Imperial Continent, three people knew about your identity. This Sonar Thearch is one of them."

Jiang Yi grew very surprised. He then exclaimed. "Oh? This Sonar Thearch is also working for the Shadow Emperor?"

"Yes, and no."

Qi Tianchen hid a smile and continued. "Sonar Thearch was being hunted one year and ended up in the Sin Sea. However, he did not enter the Gods Bestow Tribe but fled to the Endless Deep Sea. Inside the Deep Sea, he was almost killed by a great demon; it was the Shadow Emperor that saved him and brought him to a mystic realm. The Shadow Emperor taught Sonar Thearch an exceptionally strong Divine Sound Heaven Skill.

"This Sonar Thearch was a prodigy. After heading back to the East Imperial Continent and cultivating in seclusion for thirty years, he managed to rank up three times the Divine Sound Heaven Skill. His power was greatly boosted and he single-handedly destroyed the three great family clans that were hunting him. He dominated a huge region and called himself the Soar Thearch."

"There was such a happening? The Divine Sound Heaven Skill can be ranked up?"

Jiang Yi was palpitating with excitement; he himself also had the Divine Sound Heaven Skill. This was an extremely useful skill; once it hit someone, that person would be killed in an instant. Jiang Yi suddenly became very happy and asked, "What happened after that?"

Qi Tianchen explained, "You also know that there have always been Nine Thearchs in the East Imperial Continent. These Nine Thearchs were personally bestowed their titles by the Mystic Thearch himself. If anyone else wanted to have that title, the Nine Thearchs would definitely be furious. Because the Divine Sonar Region was close to the Yin Clan's territory, the Yin Thearch personally went to face the Sonar Thearch. No one knew what happened during that battle. However, the Yin Thearch returned and said that the Sonar Thearch had what it took to be recognized as a Thearch. The latter was able to cultivate the Divine Sound Heaven Skill to an incredibly high level, and thus was worthy of such a title."

"Is the Yin Thearch an eight-star?"

Jiang Yi was curious and asked. Seeing Qi Tianchen nod his head in agreement, Jiang Yi stood up agitatedly. That this Sonar Thearch could convince the Yin Thearch wholeheartedly meant that the former was at least as strong as an eight-star martial expert; he might even be a nine-star one. If Jiang Yi had such a formidable person aiding him, things would be much easier.

"Brother, you should not be happy too early."

Qi Tianchen saw that Jiang Yi's face was full of happiness and said bitterly. "The Sonar Thearch's temper is extremely weird. Although he owes a huge debt to the Shadow Emperor, it does not necessarily mean he will help you. Even if he really helps, he will not come out in person to help you slay your enemies. In any case… head to Divine Sonar Valley. It depends on your luck how much aid you will receive from him. I will also send a message informing him of your impending arrival."

"Alright!"

Jiang Yi nodded and prepared to leave. Qi Tianchen personally sent him off. At the door, Qi Tianchen paused and said, "Brother, although some words are not pleasing to the ears, I still have to remind you. You should not get tangled up with Lady Yin from the Yin Clan; there will not be a happy ending for both of you. Furthermore, if you anger both the Zhan Clan and the Yin Clan… that would be very troublesome…"

"Hehe."

Jiang Yi laughed bitterly, nodded his head, and continued walking. Qi Tianchen walked him to the door, saw Jiang Yi disappear into the distance, and shook his head, saying, "Who can guess what sort of trouble this lad will cause on his trip to Mystic Divine Mountain? Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi, your life experiences are very similar to that of the Mystic Thearch. You both came from smaller continents, and both caused havoc in the East Imperial Continent when you arrived while also messing around with countless beauties. It remains to be seen if you will soar as the Mystic Thearch had or perish like the prodigies of the past?"

…

Jiang Yi left the Qi Clan from the back door and found an inn where he changed his appearance. He then went outside the city and boarded one of the Tang Clan's Heaven Fate Ship. This Heaven Fate Ship was headed to Yin Thearch City. Jiang Yi could directly head to the Divine Sonar Region situated north of the Yin Clan's four regions and then depart from the Divine Sonar Region to Mystic Thearch City.

This was the route that Qi Tianchen had arranged for him. The Divine Sonar Region was just nice in the middle and along the way to Mystic Thearch City. Jiang Yi had also decided to make a trip to Divine Sonar Valley and meet the Sonar Thearch.

Since the Shadow Emperor had only informed three people of Jiang Yi's identity, that meant that the Shadow Emperor had the utmost trust in these three people. Even if the Sonar Thearch deigned to help him, he would at the very least not harm him.

It wasn't just a case of convenience that Jiang Yi decided to see the Sonar Thearch. Jiang Yi actually wanted to go and learn from him. If Jiang Yi could rank up his Divine Sound Heaven Skill two ranks—even if a Demigod was hunting him, Jiang Yi could use the Divine Sound Heaven Skill to flee easily.

The Heaven Fate Ship sped swiftly southwards. Jiang Yi sat on the ship for a few hours and used his Divine Perception to scan the surroundings. After confirming that there was no one suspicious around and that there was no one following him, Jiang Yi finally relaxed.

Jiang Yi walked out of the cabin and headed to the secret cultivation room. The journey to the Divine Sonar Region would take half a year. He was not going to waste a single moment; if his strength could increase even by slightly a little, that would be good.

"My Lords, please forgive us two sisters, please stop hitting."

Wu-Wu—

As Jiang Yi was about to enter the secret cultivation room, he suddenly heard two familiar voices from one of the cabins at the stern of the ship. Those were the voices of two young ladies, crying and begging. Jiang Yi's eyebrows were raised as he vaguely remembered where he had heard these voices before. However, at the moment, he was unable to recall.

"My Lords, please kill the two of us. To ask us to go and serve Old Fiend Li, we sisters would rather die…"

"Yes, my lords. Please fulfill our wish. You can ask us to serve other men; we sisters will die before we agree to be married to Old Fiend Li."

The crying and pleading continued to travel out of that cabin. Jiang Yi's body suddenly shook. He finally remembered who the two were. They were the pair of twins that the Consecrator Tang Sheng from the Tang Clan had wanted to offer to Jiang Yi—Tang Xue and Tang Yan.
