An Individual Without a Shadow

“Yes, the lord of Levelwater City is an Apotheosis Realm elder. Grandmaster told the city’s defence compares to Formation Palace,” inford Zhuge Xiaosheng.

“Doesn’t that an the city is a dao artefact?” Mu Yu remarked.

“What… is a dao artefact?”

“You have never heard of the term? Our Formation Palace and Pill Cauldron Sect’s Revealing Cauldron are dao artefacts. Xiaoshuai, you rember the text we figured out in Revealing Cauldron? Read it out for Patriarch.”

“That hala bala text? Let’s see… Dao begets one. One begets two. These two forms produce four phenona. The four phenona act on the eight trigrams. Yin and yang are the origins of dao. Thoughts must manifest in the mind for them to take form. One more was… Dao is natural. The nine heavens’ dao artefacts are the universe’s guardian. The five elents’ spiritual artefacts beget all things. Prior to the world being nad, it was called Mother of All. I have no idea what I just recited. All I rember is, ‘Heaven’s long-lasting reign ends at dawn. The spirit Shadow God binds isn’t part of the five elents’. The last sentence is a reference to .”

Mu Yu exclaid, “I get it now. Yin and yang are the origins of everything, exist in dao artefacts and gift it to the mind. Yin yang qis refers to Primordial Ying Yang. I wasn’t sure what it ant since we hadn’t t Dahei and Dabai when we first saw the text. Thinking back on it now, it’s dawned on that ‘The nine heavens’ dao artefacts are the universe’s guardian. The five elents’ spiritual artefacts beget all things,’ ans there are, at least, nine dao artefacts in existence, and all of them have Primordial Yin Yang. Dad is the owner of Revealing Cauldron. I’m the owner of Formation Palace. The five spiritual artefacts refers to this.”

Mu Yu summoned Wood Spirit Sword to his hand. “Shadow God refers to Shifu. The last sentence should actually be understood as ‘Shadow God’s spiritual bind isn’t part of the five elents’, the ‘bind’ referring to you. Heaven’s reign refers to celestial preservation energy found in the nine immortals. When there are less than nine, the world ends, aning ‘primordial’ ends.”

“What purpose does this knowledge serve?” Zhuge Xiaosheng inquired.

“The nine dao artefacts can prohibit Third Heaven Palace from entering certain places. If Levelwater City is impervious to Third Heaven Palace’s machinations, then the city might be another artefact. Coincidentally, we have one immortal we have no idea where he is – Nian Henxi!”

Xiaoshuai enthused, “If it’s a domain ability that can suppress one’s cultivation and the lord of Levelwater City is Nian Henxi, then his domain ability would be Sp-”

“Spirit Void!” Xiaoshuai and Mu Yu declared together.

“I apologise, but I still do not follow,” expressed Zhuge Xiaosheng.

“After leaving Clearwater City, we went out to sea and t Reverend Xuan Jizi. I suppose you recognise the na, Patriarch?”

Zhuge Xiaosheng nodded. “He was one of our greatest formation casters in history and an inventor of many formations. He was selected to be patriarch. Alas, he elected to remain a simple mber and focus on research. Soti later, he mysteriously vanished.”

“He was Third Heaven Palace’s leader in his era.”

“I… I had no idea…”

“When we entered his Fiend-Sealing Pagoda, we ca across a floor with the domain Spirit Void cast on it. That was what we used to deal with Gui Ximing.”

“We diced him!” bragged Xiaoshuai.

“If Levelwater City is a dao artefact or has one guarding it, then a controller of Primordial Yin Yang must be in the city, and I must et them.”

“Ah, additionally, there is one more thing worth noting: so citizens of the city do not have shadows,” inford Zhuge Xiaosheng.

“People without shadows?”

“Uh… What were their nas again…? Oh, Bai Yetian and Bai Yechan! Rember them from Clearwater City, Mu Yu? They don’t have shadows,” Xiaoshuai reminded.

“You sure?”

“Yeah, off the two tis Bai Yetian approached us, he stood in the shadow of the rock, so we couldn’t tell, but those tricks of theirs can’t escape my bright, handso eyes.”

Mu Yu pushed Xiaoshuai over the head. “Why didn’t you tell earlier?!”

“You going to bla for this? The man declared he’s from ‘Shadowless Race’. What do you think the ‘shadowless’ is supposed to an? It’s not my fault you’re not observant. What? What’s with that look?”

“We’ve always been under the presumption that Shadow Syndicate is an extension of Third Heaven Palace. Now, Huang Quan is a shadow assassin, yet he was a spy at Ghost Gate. If Shadow Syndicate is with Third Heaven Palace, Huang Quan should’ve aided Ghost Gate, yet he let us go at Gui Mohan without lifting a finger. I’m suspecting Cheng Yan has learnt so secrets of Shadow Syndicate. That’d explain why Huang Quan is searching for him.

“Shadow Syndicate relies on shadows to commit assassinations. If Bai Yetian doesn’t have a shadow as you say, sothing is odd. Everyone in Third Heaven, as far as we know, has a shadow. I have a gut feeling that Shadowless Race is a foreign race.”

“Who are Shadowless Sect?” Tian Ran voiced.

“Helian Kong ntioned Shadowless Sect is here to avenge Old White Beard when we were on the island, didn’t he? Rember how he ntioned Old White beard taught Bai Liangsheng or what’s his face?” Xiaoshuai prompted.

“We can’t take everything Elder Helian Kong ntioned on the island at face value as he was still associated with Third Heaven Palace. Patriarch, do you know how to get to Levelwater City?”

“No, unfortunately. Grandmaster led along a riverbank for so ti then threw a token into the river. Before I realised it, we had arrived at the city.”
