Chapter 131: Enlightenment Heaven Supreme
Of the southern regions Nine Commanderies, the South Halberd Commandery was the toughest place to live in. Its climate was worse than the South Immortal Commandery, with furious gale raging now and then on already scarce farmlands.
It wouldnt have been suited for anyone to live in if not for a Great Xia Rivers fork flowing into the South Halberd Commandery.
Young master, the Carefree Palace resides in the South Halberd Commandery. Does the Carefree Palace really have a hand in Xian Wuchangs rebellion? Could the Auspicious King simply be looking for a scapegoat to push away his responsibility in the matter? Jue Panshi wiped off his sweat as he asked.
The climate here was difficult for even a Ki Explosion martial artist like him to bear. It seemed unlikely for someone who resided in such a difficult place to harbor wild ambitions.
Theres no reason for the Auspicious King to look for a scapegoat. It doesnt matter to him whether he outed the Carefree Palace at all. He only revealed their involvement because he wanted a conclusion for this matter, lest they wreak havoc in the future, Fang Chen said.
My grandfather already knew that something was off about the Carefree Palace back then, and through years of investigation, he was able to figure out bits and pieces about its history.
The Carefree Palaces history?
Jue Panshi looked at the mountainous path they were treading on. At the end of this path was the Carefree Palace. Ordinary people wouldnt even find it.
What history does the Carefree Palace have?
They are the remnants of an empire that wandered into Great Xia. They lay low for many years, hoping to make use of us to avenge them, Fang Chen replied as he scaled the mountain.
Jue Panshi and the others were taken aback. Does the Carefree Palace have such a background?
Moments later, the group arrived before a massive monastery that gave off a dignified air.
Ill knock on the door, Jue Panshi said as he stepped forward.
However, Fang Chen waved his hand and said, Dont bother. Theres no one here. Lets head in to take a look.
Theres no one here? Have the members of the Carefree Palace fled?
I have never consumed any spirit medicine. Fang Chen clasped his fist.
No? The Enlightenment Heaven Supremes voice carried a hint of doubt, but he chose not to pursue this matter. Youre in a grade-9 state? Its rare for a cultivator to be born in such a place. You are one of my people, since you were born in a place that worships me. Since fate brought us together, Ill bestow you with a cultivation manual.
The Enlightenment Heaven Supreme slowly raised his hand and created an invisible imprint, which gave rise to a cultivation method in Fang Chens head. It was a Ki Refinement cultivation method, covering from the first stage to the twelfth stage.
Ill also bestow you with a hundred low-grade ki stones. It formed another hand seal, and a map surfaced in Fang Chens head. Head to the location. You will find a hundred low-grade ki stones there. However, it might be difficult for you to head there right now. You should wait till you reach twelfth stage Ki Refinement first.
Fang Chen looked at the map in his head. It was incomplete, but it had a location indicated on it. However, he had never heard of this place before: Coldreturn.
When he inspected the nearby geography, he was shocked to notice that this Coldreturn was located near Chillwater.
All right, I cant stay in the mortal world for too long, so Ill bid you farewell now. If you face problems in your cultivation, you may astral project and seek my divine idols for advice, the Enlightenment Heaven Supreme said before the divine idol slowly reverted to normal.
Fang Chen knew what he had just experienced wasnt just a hallucination. He returned his soul into his body before turning to Jue Panshi. Lets go.
Were leaving just like that?
Jue Panshi was stunned, but he obediently left the area with Fang Chen.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Fang Chen suddenly turned around to look at the Carefree Palace with grim and fearful eyes. A cultivator pretending to be an immortal is likely to be anything but trustworthy.
Daoist Cloudcrane had once told him that even he didnt know whether immortals truly existed in the world or not, and Enlightenment Heaven Supreme calling him an astral projecting daoist had already inadvertently exposed his identity.
Unlike Daoist Cloudcrane, this Enlightenment Heaven Supreme looked like an evil cultist!
As for the Enlightenment Ki Refinement Formula that he had imparted to him, Fang Chen had no intention of practicing it, and he wasnt planning to let anyone else practice it either. He feared that practicing this skill would leave something on them, and the Enlightenment Heaven Supreme might just be able to do something to them through it.
Shortly after Fang Chen left, the Enlightenment Heaven Supremes divine idol moved once more. A Saint-tier spirit medicine from the Spirit Medicine Ranking As long as he practices the Enlightenment Ki Refinement Formula, Id be able to keep track of his location. I might just be able to find where the Saint-tier spirit medicine grows through that.
