Chapter 240: Chapter 101 Five Colors, Five Directions, The Great Land of Ten Continents (3/3)

Even though An Jing was not even clear about the factions within the court, everyone knew that the Da Chen imperial dynasty was rife with countless factions.

Hence, Guangchen did not find An Jing’s question strange, "Guangyun Brother... back then, he didn’t particularly favor any faction."

"He was one of the Eight Directions Kings, wholeheartedly devoted to the survival of the Imperial Court. Even during the years when he adventured with us, his primary goal was still ’to ensure the well-being of the people within the territory.’ He did not pay much attention to personal strength,"

"This was naturally because he was of the Emperor’s Blood—he didn’t need many resources to grow stronger naturally, but it’s also enough to prove Guangyun Brother’s dedication to the country."

"However..."

The conversation turned, and Guangchen’s brows furrowed deeply. After serious contemplation, he slowly said, "Before I went into seclusion, I vaguely remember that Emperor Tianyou intended to implement ’reforms.’"

"Guangyun Brother has always supported his elder brother. So I think it’s very likely that he was part of the ’Reformist Faction’?"

Adventured together? Reformist Faction?

Although the question had been answered, it only led to more confusion.

Not just An Jing, but Xuan Mingjing also looked perplexed at this moment.

"My father has always stayed within the palace and has almost never traveled..."

Xuan Mingjing muttered to herself. She guessed that her father’s adventures might have occurred before she was born, but that also didn’t seem right. Before she was born, her father had already been married to her mother for many years. According to her mother, ever since her father became an Eight Directions King, he had not left Hanhai for half a step!

And how, exactly, did he become involved with the Divine Repository True Person of the Dust Li Five Sects?

As for An Jing, he was contemplating ’reforms.’

"I vaguely remember... that this side of Hanhai was implementing ’new laws’?"

An Jing furrowed his brows slightly. Although he claimed to be uninterested in politics, how could he completely lack knowledge about the country he lived in?

As a territory carved out from the wars against the Northern Expeditions throughout history, Hanhai naturally differed from Shenjing and the ancient King’s Soil surrounding Shenjing. For instance, in Hanhai, there are many rules different from those in other places, like the methods of tax collection for farming and herding, the prices of grains and seeds, and the benefits for trading and pioneering lands...

Is this considered new law?

If this is the new law, this is reform... Then, from the time of the Hanhai Demon Calamity to the Frost Calamity, which was after Emperor Tianyou’s death, all those that have been hit... were they all territories of the Reformist Faction, the proponents of the new law?

"An Jing."

At this moment, the Sword Spirit, who had been silent all along, preparing to cooperate with An Jing to open the Great Void Passage for escape, spoke up.

Subdue Evil spoke gravely now, "I’ve told you before, this person carries an extremely strong Power of Great Void."

"Yes," An Jing responded in his mind. "You also said that he frequently travels across distant times and spaces that start at least with whole continents."

"His abilities to shuttle through the Great Void are related to me,"

Subdue Evil directly revealed a bombshell that almost caused An Jing to lose control of his expression, "Or rather, they’re related to the Immortals who forged me and endowed me with the Power of Great Void!"

"What?" Now An Jing was truly shocked, and he incredulously asked in his mind, "Subdue Evil, are you serious?"

"Absolutely true,"

Subdue Evil continued gravely, "But I actually can’t confirm whether it is related to my fragments... Perhaps it’s even higher than my fragments? In any case, I am after all a sword. Whoever forged me, whoever gave me Dao Law, certainly there would be a creator."

"Mingguang Dust is related to me, or perhaps related to my creator!"

An Jing initially found it hard to believe, but soon after, he calmed down.

First of all, the words of Subdue Evil could not be entirely trusted.

It wasn’t that Subdue Evil couldn’t be trusted, but rather that Subdue Evil’s current state... An Jing had long noticed that its fragmentation was severe and its memory loss was subtle—it had long been unable to distinguish whether it was a sword or a person.

Was its power that of a sword, or was it that of a person?

Or to say...

An Jing steadied his mind and asked, "Let’s set aside these questions we can’t inquire into for now. Subdue Evil, can you discern whether there is the air of other worlds on him?"

"For example, the ’Tianyuan Realm’... Has he been to the Tianyuan Realm?"

This was the question An Jing was most concerned about.

Subdue Evil, as an Immortal Sword, possessed the power of Great Void Shuttle, which could provide An Jing with a stable ground for development and opportunity... That wasn’t something too unimaginable.

But it also meant that if other powers had a foundation or strength similar to Subdue Evil, then they too could shuttle to other worlds.

Given this, was the Tianyuan Realm really safe?

And could those Primordial Spirit Heavenly Venerates from the Tianyuan Realm also come to Embracing the Void?

"Hmm... no,"

Subdue Evil then gave a response that allowed An Jing to rest assured for the moment. However, what it said next again made An Jing puzzled, "If I must say, the strongest aura on this Divine Repository... is actually from other continents?"

"The most is from ’Zhongheng Dao Continent,’ followed then by ’Dong Tian Yuzhou’..."

In the Embracing the Void, with its five colors and directions, there are ten continents in total. An Jing’s location, the ’North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent,’ represents Xuan, one of the ten continents.

Besides this one, there are the North Yong Mozhou representing Bei, and the Bai Ji Jingzhou representing Bai.

The Southwest Tri-Continents consists of the Western Abyss, Changqing Guangzhou, and Jinyu Ganzhou; while the Southeast Tri-Continents are Dong Tian Yuzhou, Chiling Zhengzhou, and Southern Wilderness Hongzhou.

The nine continents are arranged in a near-triangular formation, and situated right in the middle surrounded by the nine continents is the Zhongheng Dao Continent.

"He frequently visits Zhongheng Dao Continent," Subdue Evil asserted confidently. "But the powers of Divine Repository are definitely not capable of crossing the Embracing the Void Heavenly Sea between the continents; this depends on external forces."

"It’s very strange... This person and the so-called ’teammates’ of Da Chen’s King Jing definitely have a huge secret behind them!"

"What are we going to do next?"

As An Jing and Subdue Evil exchanged thoughts, Xuan Mingjing was also communicating with Mingguang Dust, "If I return to Kanming City, I could use the Earth Vein to hide better. But if I don’t leave Da Chen soon, and the... my sixth uncle backed by Inspector Cao comes..."

Xuan Mingjing’s words were laced with worry, much like her unspoken concerns: if another of the Emperor’s Blood came to capture Xuan Mingjing, regardless of whether they could catch her, the scale of that operation would definitely be unlike now with only one Divine Repository inspector.

"Only for a short while,"

Mingguang Dust’s tone also became serious, "I have another method of transferring you without triggering the Celestial Domain’s natural Formation veins of Da Chen, but that requires time to guide. You must have a stable place to stay."

"Once the Law Altar’s guidance is complete, I’ll transfer you away, and hand you over to another who might be even more trustworthy than me, a true ally of your father."

"As for now..."

Mingguang Dust turned his head to look at An Jing, speaking earnestly, "We might need your help, young friend."
