Third Heaven Palace’s History

Archfiend Baiyuan raged, “What could be more important than retrieving Hai Dongqing’s heart?”

“Protecting his body is more important than retrieving his heart,” Mu Yu explicated.

“I’ll have my men guard his body.”

“By what wizardry are fiends, who couldn’t stop Lie Shang and I, going to stop Bai Jie all of a sudden?”

“Bai Jie?”

“Archfiend Qinglong mentioned Third Heaven Palace would keep tabs on you the moment you set foot outside of fiend territory. In other words, they would already know where Hai Dongqing is sealed by now. If you come with us, what do you think Bai Jie will do to him? Don’t forget that he’s also a formation caster. If I can defuse the seal, so can he.”Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com

Realising Mu Yu was dead right, Archfiend Baiyuan surveyed the surroundings for spies.

“Third Heavy Palace never knew where Shifu and Illusionary Clear Rain sealed you archfiends. You’ve gone and divulged Hai Dongqing’s location to him. You sure you want to take this risk?”

“You’re wrong this time. Third Heaven Palace always knew where we were sealed.”

Mu Yu narrowed his eyes.

“Rather, the former Third Heaven Palace knew where we were sealed.”

“Elaborate.”

“Third Heaven Palace’s members are found everywhere. They will test candidates they see possessing the three required attributes to determine if the candidate is worthy of joining them. If not, their memory will be erased. The leader selects who their successor will be, but they must receive the approval of others. This election process is held at the cycle of samsara.”

“Back to where we started: Reverend Xuan Jizi didn’t tell me he was Third Heaven Palace’s leader.”

“That’s understandable. It’s supposed to be a secret from everyone but us immortals, after all.”

“I thought they’re the catalyst for the conflict between elemental demons and humans.”

“Maybe now but not back during Reverend Xuan Jizi’s era. Under his leadership, Third Heaven Palace’s establishment was to act as mankind’s guardians. Bai Jie is the one who directed them down another path. Perhaps the former leader didn’t see Bai Jie for who he really is. It’s understandable since Bai Jie fooled even your shifu. Let’s just say Bai Jie is more dangerous than we give him credit for. Bai Jie cultivates on soul energy from the cycle of samsara. From what Brother Qinglong said, the consequence is they end up with appearances that put the word ‘hideous’ to shame.”

“The holy light of their soul energy gives cultivators the impression that they’re deities.”

“According to Qinglong, that’s but a disguise. We can’t put our finger on it, but we feel there’s something bizarre about the current Third Heaven Palace as they’re exceedingly stronger than previous generations. Consider that my warning to keep your wits about you.”

Mu Yu mused, I’m sure Shifu would’ve noticed something off even if he was gravely injured. Why did he trust Bai Jie? I have a feeling that a piece of the puzzle is still missing.
