Chapter 1106: Chapter 1105: The Eerie Stele
The two chatted while walking towards the Heavenly Heart Pavilion Flower Sea, moving seemingly slowly but actually quickly, completely ignoring the Heavenly Heart Pavilion cultivators flying towards Qian Niu Town.
Always a step slow; that’s the tradition of Daoist orthodoxy.
They talked about everything except the proper business, for within the Daoist frawork, proper business is unchangeable; their personal relationships can’t affect it, and in truth, they have no real personal friendship, just fellow travelers encountered at a certain stage of cultivation.
Keep it if it’s beneficial, kill it if it hinders.
The relationship is simple and pure, but both are Dao Seeds, and remain indifferent.
In no ti, they arrived again at the stele within the Flower Sea. To their surprise, the female cultivator was still seated there, as if she had taken root.
They each extended their perception, using a special thod to observe, and sure enough, there was another line of words added to the base of the stele:
“Heavenly Soldier Ascends, Heavenly Soldier Ji Fu, Heavenly Soldier Huang Feng’er, Heavenly Soldier Ke Shan Guest.”
The three newly added nas were precisely those whom Hou Niao had just killed at the feast! The last one, Ke Shan Guest, was presumably the bridegroom.
After a long silence, Zhi Xuan finally breathed out, “At the sa ti, countless cultivators were killed across the continent, so why are only these few added to the Sealing Infant Tablet? With my perception, these aren’t rely simple nas, but rather a mysterious connection, as if their souls ca here after death. Shouldn’t they go to the Underworld after dying? Why would sothing dare defy heavenly law to intercept them here?”
Hou Niao remained silent, “Indeed, they have lost their spirits after death, and their destination is unknown. Now, it seems they have co here.”
This could be a minor or major issue. If minor, it is rely a container for Primordial Spirits, even without the Primordial Spirits, just leaving a na, not even as good as a Soul Summoning Banner.
If major, well, it’s not clear yet, but this Sealing Infant list seems to be choosy? Why does it only collect demons from the Outer Space Upper Realm?
Hou Niao has so worries, albeit without reason, because the stories he heard over the past three months seed to guide him towards an impossibly large direction.
A bit hesitant to think about it, “Could it be?”
For the ti being, the problem isn’t significant, it’s just uncertain how changes might unfold after Jinxiu’s Heaven Creation, which most concerns Hou Niao, and is the one thing he dares not ntion to anyone.
Zhi Xuan glanced at him sideways, “If you’re killed, you probably won’t be on the list.”
Hou Niao retorted cynically, “But you might, since these demons all ca from Outer Space, as did you.”
Actually, both are curious whether guests from the Outer Space Upper Realm would appear on the list after dying. It seems unlikely because they both have the lives of Upper Realm guests in their hands, and recall several extra-realm visitors dying over the years in sect disputes.
Zhi Xuan shook his head, “Is it only targeting fierce beasts from outer regions? What’s the point?”
Hou Niao can’t quite figure it out either, but he won’t dwell on matters destined to lack imdiate resolution, why trouble oneself?
“You familiar with Anchor Chain cultivators?”
Zhi Xuan knew what he was asking, firmly replied, “Wasn’t , has nothing to do with .”
Hou Niao sneered, “Fine, but it involves your Three Pure Ones, I’m noting this down.”
Zhi Xuan said it wasn’t his doing, but he might not be unaware, there’s intrigue here. These matters are unclear, and he doesn’t see it as significant. In the Universe Cultivation Realm, the Three Pure Ones and Sword Sect routinely sabotage each other, it’s nothing major, they’re used to it.
No matter how big the issue, what can be done, especially since we’re focusing on one or two Grotto Heavens.
Ending the conversation, he leaps into the air, leaving behind one last comnt, “Talk more with Tianfeng, then you’ll understand universal principles of coexistence, avoiding anything irreparable; tearing faces is bad for everyone, and bad for Jinxiu.”
Hou Niao watched him leave silently, unconvinced, “What does universal rules have to do with him, is this the universe?”
Slowly circling the stele, he suddenly teleported beside the seated female cultivator and kicked out.
Zhao Xintong rubbed her slightly sore bottom, eyes narrowing to slits, “Uncle!”
Hou Niao scowled, “Get back to Taihao! This isn’t where you should stay.”
Zhao Xintong cheerfully leaned in, holding his hand, closely inspecting his current appearance, “Uncle, you look so ugly and creepy, is it convenient for killing?”
Hou Niao couldn’t deal with this little one, so things can’t be avoided forever or left unspoken,
“What you wanted to tell , I already know, understand?”
Zhao Xintong nodded, that’s what she had been trying to convey, even if the thod was sowhat clumsy.
Hou Niao decided to change tactics, “I may need you to help in the future, possibly involving significant causality, requiring you to have a strong body and higher realm; otherwise, you won’t be able to help .”
Zhao Xintong nodded, being extrely smart, she knew her uncle was reassuring her, “Uncle, I can leave, but promise not to forget in tis of trouble, I can help.”
Hou Niao felt increasingly overwheld, but for now, he’d paint a big picture, “Xintong, the future of Jinxiu may have major implications, affecting the entire universe, even involving the highest tier, potentially the biggest shift in cultivation history, surpassing Epoch transitions.”
Zhao Xintong’s eyes sparkled, now she was sure uncle knew sothing, sothing she barely dared to speak of, though she herself was also vaguely uncertain.
Hou Niao held her hand, “We both need to live well, including , including you; losing anyone makes the world incomplete, so sotis protecting yourself ans protecting everyone, understand?”
Zhao Xintong nodded. As the Dean of Hong Ye Academy, none could see her now ekly leaning, what once appeared as solemn, stern, and humorless.
“I understand, uncle. Forty more years, I won’t recklessly use my abilities, but uncle, don’t forget, I’m an unofficial mber of the Sword Cultivation Army.”
Hou Niao rubbed her head, “When you return, I’ll introduce you to a friend, soone just as troubleso as you, once you see her, you’ll understand. Help manage her or she’ll drive crazy.”
Zhao Xintong was curious, “Who is she? Is there soone uncle can’t handle?”
Hou Niao sighed, “In this world, there are many people your uncle can’t deal with, hmm, her roots are quite special, I’ll tell you gradually…”
