Chapter 1052 The Secret to the Sanctuary of the Forbidden

Ji Yuan asked Xuan Qiaoqiao, "Well. Let's start from the bastard bloodlines that we had stopped the last time before we got interrupted. You say that Juan Xian'Er has a true bloodline while the rest of you have a bastard bloodline. What do you mean by this?"

Xuan Qiaoqiao giggled softly, "Well... that is only because all the true noble bloodline had died off here, leaving only the bastard bloodlines to continue our lineage."

Ji Yuan could not believe he was actually hearing Xuan Qiaoqiao's giggles over the transmission and she seemed to be putting it quite lightly in her heart.

"I don't understand," Ji Yuan frowned, "If all the true noble bloodlines had died off here, then why did Juan Xian'Er have the true bloodline?"

Xuan Qiaoqiao giggled, "Smart. That's because she is not from the Dark Abyssal Realm but from the Immortal Great Abyssal Realm. Her parents are one of the first immortals of our Ancient Race in this realm and her mother consort kwas our first Cardinal Priestess. However, as she can't cultivate the immortal energies of the Great Abyssal Realm, her parents had sent her here to cultivate. This is supposed to be a secret that only the Cardinals know."

Ji Yuan muttered, "So Juan Xian'Er is the daughter of the First Cardinal Priestess... It is no wonder why some of your people wants to appoint her as the next Cardinal Priestess."

Xuan Qiaoqiao answered, "That's right. But she doesn't want to be the Cardinal Priestess as she hates the constant politics of the Cardinals."

Then she giggled, "But Juan Xian'Er is actually stronger than me. But she doesn't want the others to know about this. In fact, she is the one that had helped me to overcome my False Immortal level."

Ji Yuan: ...

While he was with Juan Xian'Er, he was under the impression that Xuan Qiaoqiao as the Cardinal Priestess was stronger than her; it was because she had purposely misled Ji Yuan by warning him so and that he should not touched the Cardinal Priestess or else he would have to suffer from the consequences later.

But it seemed to him now that Juan Xian'Er was actually a much formidable False Immortal level cultivator. It was no wonder why she could subdue Xuan Qiaoqiao so easily in the first place too.

He began to rub his chin and muttered to himself: Well, looks can be deceiving...

Although he was muttering about Juan Xian'Er, he was not upset with this deception. Rather, he found Juan Xian'Er to be rather interesting maiden or else he would not have lost his cool when he had learnt that she had come to harm.

He had literally gone berserk earlier when he had learnt of her mishaps and he was thoroughly furiously at the Immortal Abyssal Gong Nephilim.

His furious rage had caused him to fight at his power level peak and this surprised even himself when he was actually able to force the Immortal Abyssal Gong Nephilim into a corner.

Ji Yuan said to Xuan Qiaoqiao, "There is another thing. What is this Sanctuary of the Forbidden?"

Xuan Qiaoqiao said bitterly, "You even know about this place? The Cardinal Harpy had told you? This is our holy sanctuary and forbidden to most of the Ancient Old Ones."

Ji Yuan chuckled softly, "I was told that I could retrieve a spirit divine sword if I can play the flute for the Cardinal Harpy."

Xuan Qiaoqiao had a look of surprise as she said, "Are you sure? I don't believe. You have no idea how sacred this place it is to us and it is a heinous crime to take anything from this place. All that because you are willing to play the flute for her?"

Ji Yuan was startled; he had no idea that the penalty for doing so would be this severe. But then again, this place was their forbidden ground and holy sanctuary.

He muttered weakly, "This can't be this serious, right? What is the history of this Sanctuary of the Forbidden?"

Xuan Qiaoqiao hesitated for a while before she said solemnly, "I shouldn't be telling you this but I trust that you tell no one about this."

Ji Yuan chuckled weakly, "Don't worry, my lips are tight. You can trust my honor in this."

Xiang Li said so as well: You can trust me to keep this a secret too.

Anyang chuckled: You can trust me with this secret too. nOVe/lb-1n

Aura the Divine Tree was also giggling: Me too!

Ji Yuan: ...

Ji Yuan: ...

Ji Yuan: ...

What the heck are these 3 spirits doing here? They are eavesdropping on my conversations?!

Xuan Qiaoqiao said, "There is a forbidden secret that is inside the Sanctuary of the Forbidden. So we can't allow anyone, especially the abyssal races to know about this. Much is at stake in the Sanctuary of the Forbidden and that is why we don't want to allow too many people to know about this secret. By right, only the Cardinal Priestess and the Cardinals are allowed to know this secret. But Ji Yuan, I trust you because you have saved the Ancient Race today."

Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "Don't worry. I am very good in keeping secrets. Other than me, there won't be a third person that knows about this..."

Xiang Li giggled: I am the fourth person. Anyang is the third person!

Anyang protested immediately: I am not the third person. I am the fifth person! Aura is the third person!

Aura: ???

Ji Yuan: ...

Ji Yuan: ...

Ji Yuan: ...

Xuan Qiaoqiao said slowly, "The Sanctuary of the Forbidden is actually a shrine to the True Devil God. You may not have heard of him..."

Ji Yuan was startled: A shrine to the True Devil God?! In this place?!

Just as he was about to answer Xuan Qiaoqiao that he had actually heard of the True Devil God, there was a sudden knock on his door and it was the Cardinal Harpy Li Yifen.

Li Yifen said sweetly, "Ji Yuan, open the door. I am here to see you."

Ji Yuan: ...

Why did she have to come at this timing?

He could not believe that he got interrupted a second time. At this rate, he would use up the profound energies of the Heart Link Necklace before he could even find the spy or spies...

Xuan Qiaoqiao frowned, "Why is she always coming to your room? Are you hiding something from me?"

Ji Yuan answered weakly, "Of course not. Let's talk later or another day..."

Xuan Qiaoqiao hummed coldly as she unhappily ended the transmission.

An awkward Ji Yuan quickly kept the Heart Link Necklace and shouted, "I'm coming!"
