Chapter 414: 264

“This…is!”

The woman hesitated after hearing this, but dared not say more, received the letter respectfully and withdrew.

She left, leaving the relatively calm man behind, who curiously peered at Dao Wuya, “Master has figured out the root of that person’s origins?”

In his words, curiosity was evident.

This pursuit by Iron Heart Fortress to eliminate the Tian Wu Remnants and take possession of the Holy King’s Relic did not come without reason.

Half a month ago, Iron Heart Fortress’s lord, Divine Martial Venerable Chen Tianjie, personally visited the Pavilion of Heavenly Mechanism and asked their master, Dao Wuya, for a divination.

This lord of Iron Heart Fortress, an elder of the Divine Martial Venerables, was over two thousand years old with not much longer to live. Yet, he had not cultivated a second Divine Martial Venerable, and Iron Heart Fortress was at risk of a future with no successors. This was perilous at a time when the Righteous Path and Evil Path, Sacred Places and Demon Sects, stood in opposition.

Therefore, Chen Tianjie went to personally ask for a divination from the Pavilion of Heavenly Mechanism, obtaining the location of the Tian Wu Remnants and the Holy King’s Relic at a great cost.

But now, there were countless people eyeing him, the lord of Iron Heart Fortress with his short remaining lifespan. Thus, the movements of Iron Heart Fortress could hardly remain a secret, and the emergence of the Tian Wu Remnants and the Holy King’s Relic was quickly leaked by those with vested interests and became common knowledge.

Certainly, there were those who did not wish for Iron Heart Fortress to acquire the Holy King’s Relic and cultivate a second Divine Martial Venerable to take on the SLP Heaven Calamity.

Now, with the Heaven Martial Emperor resurrected, all of Iron Heart Fortress’s efforts had been in vain. With no other choice, Chen Tianjie naturally only had to make a ruckus at the Pavilion of Heavenly Mechanism, demanding a “post-sale service!”

In response, the Pavilion of Heavenly Mechanism could not refuse. After all, one gets what one pays for, and the Pavilion’s prestigious reputation could not afford to be tarnished; otherwise, who would come for divinations in the future?

Thus, Pavilion Master Dao Wuya personally took action, using the Qiankun Bagua to determine a new direction and to probe the origins of this “Heaven Martial Emperor.”

Was it truly the Heaven Martial resurrected?

Or was it someone else’s spirit possessing his corpse?

Curious, the man was also very interested.

In front of his eldest disciple, Dao Wuya did not keep much hidden, and sighed faintly, “That person is well-versed in the Skill of Heavenly Mechanism, with a proficiency not below mine.”

“How…is that possible?”

Upon hearing this, despite his calm demeanor, the man’s color drained in shock.

His master was the most outstanding Pavilion Master in the history of the Pavilion of Heavenly Mechanism, unparalleled in the art of Heavenly Mechanism, revered throughout ancient and modern times. He entered the Divine Martial Realm at under five hundred years old, taking over the Pavilion of Heavenly Mechanism and the heirloom treasure, the Qiankun Bagua of the twenty-seven steles of the Temple of War God.

And yet there was someone whose skills in the art of Heavenly Mechanism matched his?

The man was greatly alarmed and incredulous, but seeing Dao Wuya’s serious countenance, it did not seem like a joke or deception. He had no choice but to suppress his emotions, “The methods of divination in the Martial Arts Scripture, though they exist, are merely ordinary. How could they compare to master’s Qiankun Bagua?”

Dao Wuya shook his head, “The divination techniques of the Martial Arts Scripture from ten thousand years ago were indeed ordinary; but as for this Heaven Martial Emperor of ten thousand years later… who knows what he has comprehended within the Temple of War God, or if he is even truly the Heaven Martial Emperor of the past.”

“This…”

With hesitation, the man said, “Could it be an outsider’s spirit resurrected in another’s body?”

“It is hard to conclude.”

Dao Wuya shook his head again, “But this person certainly harbors a great secret. His resurrection this time bodes ill, and given his past actions, neither the holy places of the Righteous Path nor the Demon Sects of the Evil Path will likely tolerate him.”

“Then what of our Pavilion of Heavenly Mechanism…?”

“We, too, cannot tolerate it!”

Dao Wuya’s eyes grew cold, “This person is one to hold grudges. Iron Heart Fortress’s massacre of the Tian Wu Remnants is a blood debt that will undoubtedly be counted against our Pavilion of Heavenly Mechanism, and when the day comes, there must be a reckoning.”

Upon hearing this, the man’s face changed again, and he said solemnly, “This person had many unimaginable and wondrous techniques in the past, and now, he is resurrected, a tale that chills the spine. If we allow him to grow and develop further, he may very well become a grave threat to us.”

“Exactly!”

Dao Wuya nodded, “That is why I have sent messages to both Iron Heart Fortress and the Heavenly Demon Sect. This person’s skill in the art of Heavenly Mechanism is extraordinary, adept at seeking fortune and avoiding disaster. Without the Divine Martial Venerable taking action, he simply cannot be captured. For now, I can only discern his general whereabouts, unable to pinpoint his exact location. We can only hope that both the Sacred and Demon Sides understand the gravity of the situation, to temporarily set aside their dispute, eradicate this great threat, or else… the world is in peril!”
