Chapter 467: Chapter 93: The Great Wilderness Realm (2/3)

[Guangchen!]

Although he always referred to him as ’that kid’, how close was the relationship between Chenyinzi and Guangchen? Now, through the exceptionally clear cause and effect on An Jing’s body, of which he did not know the reason, he finally confirmed Guangchen’s current state. He was both excited and overjoyed, as a great weight finally settled in his heart: [Are you alright?]

[I am unharmed, this realm is brimming with vitality and abundant in Spiritual Fiends, no less than Embracing the Void, and can be regarded as Celestial Domain]

The figure of Guangchen transformed by Purple Qi looked quite well, save for the fact that his hair and beard had grown a bit and were unattended. He raised his eyebrows, also filled with great joy: [An Jing, have you returned to the sect? Did you find your...]

Then, Guangchen’s voice disappeared for a while, but it was apparent, he wanted to ask whether An Jing had found his family. Knowing that this scene created by Chenyinzi’s Divine Skill was incredibly fragile and would soon vanish, An Jing immediately nodded in response, "I found them, Master! I am well, let’s not discuss this now. Tell me about the situation in your world!"

Guangchen also knew the connection that spanned the chaotic Sea of Void was extremely fragile and succinctly said: [This realm is savage, named ’Great Wilderness’, where Demon Spirits are predominant, but there are also humans who call themselves Spiritually Wise Apes]

[This world is a battleground for supremacy among the Myriad Tribes, competing for the revered position among all spirits. I have blended in with a human tribe...]

Guangchen’s voice started to break. This was a line of cause and effect that had emerged from An Jing cultivating the Bright Mirror Sect’s Cultivation Technique and receiving feedback from Guangchen’s changed fate. As the feedback was nearing its end, even Chenyinzi’s power could not maintain it for long.

[How long have you wandered in the Great Void, and how far are you from Embracing the Void?]

Chenyinzi asked urgently, and Guangchen shook his head: [I do not know, the Great... Void is difficult to measure... But this realm seems to have remnants of the ’Dao Sect Dao Courtyard’...]

Afterwards, Guangchen’s image began to shatter, reverting to Chenyinzi’s Xuan clear Purple Qi, and before the connection was completely severed, he spoke of his next steps: [The Great Wilderness must have a link to Embracing the Void, I will seek the connection and return...]

An Jing and Chenyinzi watched as Guangchen’s image crumbled into fragments of rosy light, and they both fell into deep thought.

Chenyinzi was silent, his emotions complex, mixed with relief. He had thought that his disciple, having encountered great adversity and been separated from this world, would be difficult to contact and might never return even if he lived out his lifespan... But unexpectedly, he received good news of the other’s well-being and that the other world was related to this one. Maybe it truly was possible to return through the remnants of Dao Sect Dao Courtyard.

But An Jing’s silence was simpler.

Within the Divine Sea, Subdue Evil declared with certainty: "An Jing, my fragment resides in that world where your master is."

"The Great Wilderness." An Jing murmured to himself: "The path of the Demon Spirits, the humans self-proclaimed as Spiritually Wise Apes, vying for supremacy with the other myriad spirits... Interesting!"

"So it seems, as long as I open up the pathway to the Great Wilderness, wouldn’t I be able to find my master directly?"

"Indeed, you can."

Subdue Evil said without hesitation: "As my fragments gradually come together, I can connect to even more distant worlds and then open the gate to the Great Wilderness."

[Good... knowing Guangchen is safe gives me peace of mind]

On another side, Chenyinzi let out a great sigh of relief. His Divine Sense avatar flickered slightly and then returned within the mirror, leaving only his voice echoing in An Jing’s mind: [My primary purpose for coming here was to teach you our ways. I optimistically estimated that it would take over a month for you to grasp the basics, yet you learned everything in less than half a day]

[An Jing, you have fully mastered our sect’s cultivation method and possess Divine Abnormalities. From this point on, you are a true inheritor of the Bright Mirror Sect’s True Transmission, and with your current strength, you may well be able to contend with ordinary Martial Meridians]

[With this, crossing the battlefield and returning to the Bright Mirror Sect is not impossible for you. The only question is what you intend to do]

[Do you plan to return to the Bright Mirror Sect now, or do you prefer to cultivate a while longer in Linjiang City?]

"I plan to cultivate a while longer."

An Jing did not hesitate as he narrowed his eyes: "Linjiang City has become a focal point in the Northern Border. It’s not just you, Master, who came to check on me. The Virtuous King will soon send envoys as well."

"Besides, many others are paying attention to me here. I cannot evade because doing so would mean a greater calamity in the future. I will resolve everything before I return to the Bright Mirror Sect."

[Good]

Chenyinzi nodded slightly: "My Divine Sense avatar can exist for just over a month, and although it has no real power, should any accident befall me, my true body will perceive it and I will be able to take action accordingly."

"With my strength, it won’t take me long to reach Linjiang City, and I believe you can hold on... However, the Great Formation that protects the National Guardian of Da Chen is extremely powerful and repels all foreign martial artists, even if there is currently no National Guardian Heavenly Martial in the Northern Border."

"So, unless it is a true life-or-death crisis, I will not intervene."

"Understood!"

An Jing felt a surge of joy in his heart; the cliché plot in stories where if you beat the small one, the big one comes next might be stale, but it would be incredibly reassuring if it happened to him.

He assured with confidence, "Rest assured, Great Ancestor, with my strength and talent, situations needing your intervention shouldn’t occur—I might need your help with your vast life experience to prevent me from making impulsive mistakes that we young ones are prone to due to our hot-bloodedness."

"Great Ancestor certainly believes in you."

In the mirror, Chenyinzi’s voice was faint and indistinct: "So much has happened in the short span of half a day; let your ancestor take a break to ponder over the current situation..."

"Also, someone is looking for you outside."

"Oh?"

An Jing looked up and gazed outside the house.

His small courtyard was generally not a place for visitors, and even if Xu Tai had an urgent matter, she wouldn’t come here to disturb his private life—unless it was an extremely necessary and significant issue.

An Jing walked out of the courtyard, curious to see what important matter it could be.

But it wasn’t Xu Tai who had come; it was Bai Qinghan.

Her reason for coming was quite straightforward.

"A messenger from General Gu Yunzhi of the Northern Border, newly honored with the title Han’ai, is here," she said.

Bai Qinghan furrowed her brows and bit her lip, appearing somewhat at a loss: "It’s a messenger from Ye Qi’s grandfather... I don’t know how to face him... Normally, I should be the one to receive him, but..."

"I understand."

An Jing realized that the visitor was the messenger of Gu Yeqi’s grandfather, and that Bai Qinghan had chosen to side with the Demon Sect and left Gu Yeqi, who was looking for her back at Hanging Fate Manor.

Even though Bai Qinghan still harbored hatred towards Da Chen, she wasn’t as extreme as she had been in the past. The memories of the past made her feel ashamed and uncertain.

"Don’t worry about it," An Jing reassured her with a laugh upon seeing her rare embarrassment: "From what I see, Little Gu never thought you were in the wrong. She herself is probably bewildered by her grandfather, who appeared out of nowhere—don’t worry, when we meet again someday, we’ll surely understand each other."

"As for now, you go back to your work, and I’ll have a chat with that messenger."

After sending Bai Qinghan away, An Jing, who had achieved three Divine Abnormalities and further enhanced his strength, headed to the City Center’s Government Mansion’s reception hall with ease, ready to meet the messenger of General Han’ai.

Then, he was slightly taken aback.

Because sitting in the reception hall, enjoying a cup of floral tea, was none other than an elderly man with a dignified appearance, General Gu Yunzhi himself.

He turned his head, looked in An Jing’s direction, and nodded with a smile: "First meeting, Lord An."

"How is the Young Miss these days?"
