Chapter 280: Chapter 141 Confident Dragon Lady (3/3)

Jin Yanhua was indeed at the core of the Upper Sect. Many of the mysteries that baffled cultivators from the rural regions of the North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent were almost as commonplace as household matters to her, familiar from any angle.

"That ancestor of the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect was quite powerful, huh,"

After listening, An Jing could only feel that the Ancestor of Heaven’s Will, who initially broke away from the Shangxuan Sect, was somewhat outrageous... The Shangxuan Sect, as the strongest Heavenly Ancestor sect in the Embracing the Void world, maintained no fewer than one Lingxiao throughout the ages. It was truly incredible that the Ancestor of Heaven’s Will could stand up to four peers of equal rank, flee with Daoist Soldiers, and successfully escape.

Moreover, the Ancestor of Heaven’s Will was also a defector from his sect? Wow, no wonder the members of the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect are now repeatedly casting people out as traitors, to confirm their identity, right?

"Ha."

Jin Yanhua laughed lightly at this. She released the tail that had been coiled around Ruohui, lazily swiping at the dust on the ground: "In the struggle of the Great Dao, what’s important isn’t to distinguish between life and death, strength and weakness, but right and wrong."

"Heaven’s Will Demon Sect... heh, Demon Sect."

"Indeed, the actions and conducts of the members of the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect are crazed and demonic, seeing enemies everywhere they look, both in the Central Continent and the North Mysterious Continent, but... indeed there are some things for which ’righteousness of the Dao’ does not provide the answers."

"If it were not for the Ancestor of Heaven’s Will defecting from the sect, clearing out the superfluous from the Great Sect, how could the Shangxuan Sect be inspired to innovate, how could they obtain so many Fate Pattern secrets, and how could they secure their supreme position in the Central Continent?"

"Not to mention Shangxuan, even if it’s my Ancestral Dragon Hall..."

Jin Yanhua shook her head slightly, unwilling to elaborate further on this subject: "Your foundation is very solid, even better than mine, An Jing... Guang having you as a disciple is truly his good fortune."

"It’s mutual complementation, just based on the present, Master has helped me more," An Jing sincerely replied: "Meeting you all is truly my good fortune."

"Mutual complementation, well said."

Jin Yanhua began to smile, she looked very lovely, but quickly became composed again, lowered her eyes, and looked affectionately at Ruohui: "This is why I like you guys... If only you could stay with me a little longer."

"Little Mingjing, both of your parents promised me they would reach the pinnacle of Martial Arts with me, yet they have all broken their promises..."

"Jin... sister..."

Ruohui still felt a bit ashamed. Although this way of speaking was reasonable for dragons, it was a bit chaotic for humans.

She struggled slightly, breaking free from Jin Yanhua’s embrace, and earnestly said to the Dragon Lady: "I’m truly grateful that you were willing to come save me, but the friendship you had with my parents... I don’t understand it at all."

"Later... could you tell me more about them? I want to know... their true natures."

"...No problem."

Jin Yanhua fell silent for a while, and then nodded: "I’m just afraid that you’ll be disillusioned because in our eyes, your father may not be the ’king’ you have in mind."

"Yes," Ruohui said softly: "That’s exactly what I want to know."

Jin Yanhua had more to discuss with Ruohui.

Besides matters concerning her parents, Ruohui needed to know some common knowledge about the Zhongheng Dao Continent, as well as matters concerning the Ancestral Dragon Hall, since this would be her future, and possibly where she spent most of her life.

"I’m now preparing the Great Void Passage for your transportation to the Northern Border,"

With the Great Void Ritual Altar constructed, Mingguang Dust also breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, the most important task is complete... I can’t accompany you to the Northern Border."

Having said that, he took out an unremarkable-looking octagonal stone mirror and handed it to An Jing: "This is my token, inside is my ’Six Yang Xuan Mirror Exorcising Evil Divine Light’."

"And..."

After An Jing took the mirror with both hands and safely tucked it away, Mingguang Dust let out a sigh and candidly said, "You must have noticed, your teacher has focused on the path of divine skills, and actually does not really know how to handle weapons or martial arts fists and feet. I rely entirely on a true breath’s strength in battle."

——Indeed, you haven’t really used weapons so far.

Having properly secured this token meant for protection, An Jing indeed realized this, and Mingguang Dust continued, "The Bright Mirror Sect is actually like this as well, where everyone focuses on foundational spiritual power and the divine skills of mana."

"However, such combat strength is not weak. According to what Jin said, the Shangxuan Sect and other Upper Gates of the Zhongheng Dao Continent, even have ’Daoist Disciples,’ who from the start do not practice any Art of Combat, but only learn the secret transmissions of the Great Dao and the skills to govern the world, so as to quickly enhance their realm and the power of their Fate Pattern."

"That’s right, I remember the Emperor’s Blood did the same." An Jing compared notes and realized it was indeed so, those of Emperor’s Blood mentioned by You Ruhui were also like this; they basically did not learn the specific techniques of combat, but only learned geomancy of the Earth Veins, controlling the laws between heaven and earth.

That makes sense, after all, those of Emperor’s Blood are destined for rapid progression in their realms, comprehending their own path, naturally they will have divine skills. By then, even if they don’t understand the mortal techniques of combat, what of it? By that time, the combat of martial arts cultivators will have already entered the realm they are familiar with, that of controlling the forces within and beyond heaven and earth.

This cultivation method could only be achieved by a Great Sect, a major power that rules over a territory and can ensure the safety of its inheritors.

"But..."

Yet, a doubt lingered in An Jing’s mind: "What if some people’s Fate Pattern and Great Dao are meant for combat?"

"What if a person born for battle focuses on the Art of Combat just as others focus on enhancing their realm, what then?"

"Well... they would just be unbeatable." Mingguang Dust let out a sigh and laughed, "Moreover, such people cannot be many, while those who seek their own path will certainly not be few — even if it is the Dao of Combat, can he alone defeat the entire world?"

"In any case, our Bright Mirror Sect’s power is far inferior to that of the Shangxuan Sect, and far inferior to the Ancestral Dragon Hall, so we still need to learn the Art of Combat, especially since your Fate Pattern is extraordinary, and you cannot neglect either divine skills or combat."

"That’s true, Guang, your Bright Mirror Sect can lay the foundation for him and promote his realm, that’s the limit. When it comes to combat, indeed, you can’t teach this child."

It was at that moment that the flash of green Thunder Light appeared.

Jin Yanhua, having finished her chat with You Ruhui at some point, came before An Jing and Mingguang Dust.

She looked at An Jing, her eyes shimmering with light, and then nodded slightly, "Guang says you mastered almost all the Strength Techniques within an hour, he cannot teach you in this regard... Indeed, your aptitude is truly top-notch, worthy of being chosen by the Heaven’s Will Cult."

Raising her hand, she signaled the somewhat puzzled An Jing not to ask, and Jin Yanhua seriously said, "I mentioned the origin of the Heaven’s Will Cult to you before because I wanted to tell you, you have a fate with the Heaven’s Will Cult, and it is very substantial."

——Of course, I’ve already cultivated ’Grasping Heavenly Moment.

An Jing had his own thoughts but did not show them outwardly, for he already understood what Mingguang Dust and Jin Yanhua wanted to say.

As expected, Jin Yanhua saw that An Jing did not show any signs of fear, and was even eager to try, and she curled the corners of her mouth, "Although it’s a fated consequence that is hard to escape, I see you don’t want to escape, and you’re not afraid."

"That’s good. We martial artists never fear fate."

Turning her head, the Dragon Lady looked back at the Great Void Ritual Altar behind her and calmly said, "This Ritual Altar is quite simple and cannot immediately commence the second crossing of the Great Void; it needs a few days of repair."

"And in these few days, I will teach you a truly ’lethal skill’ for some time."

Three hours later.

At first, she was full of vigor, but now Jin Yanhua looked perplexed and slightly bewildered as she found Xiao Yinyin, seemingly anticipating Mingguang Dust.

The Dragon Lady hesitated for a while but still candidly said, "Guang, I think I can’t teach him..."

"He, he has just learned all the weapons combat skills I know!"
