Chapter 818: Chapter 146 Shock from All Sides (2/3)
It didn’t take much effort at all. The three groups of infiltrators worked together, each using very subtle Arts of Magic and employing Blood Qi Martial Skills that were hardest for the Spiritual Fiends to detect, thereby annihilating the team of Heavenly Demons.
Of course, this was also because the Heavenly Demons did not resist and only wanted to flee. Had they fought back, the commotion would have been far greater.
Building on the camaraderie just earned from jointly exterminating the Heavenly Demons, the leader from Shangxuan Sect was the first to speak: "Let’s each set a target area for search and take turns. How does that sound?"
"Good idea," replied Walker Wu Ai. Another infiltrator from Taiming Sect nodded and said, "Let’s do it. I’ll start with the main hall."
"Then I’ll search An Jing’s residence," said Walker Wu Ai, while the Shangxuan Sect leader nodded, "We will start from the formation’s central area."
The three groups selected their target areas and proceeded to search in mutual understanding, avoiding any unnecessary conflict.
After all, everyone’s task was already quite dangerous and demanding. Although the pay was substantial, none felt compelled to lay down their lives. Achieving some results to report to their superiors was sufficient.
Walker Wu Ai’s group reached An Jing’s residence. Unfortunately, An Jing’s living quarters resembled nothing like a normal young person’s abode. The modest stone house contained just a table, a bed, and a chair, with no decorations or trophies from his numerous battles.
The entire room lacked any personal touch, so much so that the bed might barely have been used. After much searching, Walker Wu Ai found only traces of Spirit Fiend left from An Jing’s cultivation techniques.
"Unlucky, and foolish of me. How could I forget that despite An Jing’s age, he left home due to the Frost Calamity, living a turbulent life. He probably never had a concept of ’home’ or ’settlement,’ his residence is just a place for sleeping!"
Walker Wu Ai slapped his forehead, realizing he had messed up. But the lack of finds meant he could move on swiftly to the next target.
Walker Wu Ai chose the Forging Workshop next, considering An Jing’s workaholic nature. The workshop where he frequently worked might yield more information.
Mingguang Peak’s Forging Workshop was a spacious, semi-mountainous hall, its center featuring a pool left by Mingguang Lake. Blue-green Spiritual Light illuminated the entire hall.
The fire in the smelting furnace had not yet extinguished, indicating An Jing had been working recently. With his vast experience, Walker Wu Ai promptly made an important discovery: a newly created Qi Furnace.
Beside Walker Wu Ai, the eyes of one companion suddenly glowed with a gray light: [Wu Ai, let me see]
"Yes, You Patrol Envoy," Wu Ai knew that several of his companions were vessels for high-ranking figures within the Divine Sect. He handed over the Qi Furnace, and after careful inspection, the embodied You Patrol Envoy nodded: [Excellent, excellent, incredibly valuable... A Qi Furnace? What an invention. An Jing truly lives up to his name.]
[Look at the essence of this Qi Furnace; it’s very similar to the Dragon Storing Bottle... Haha, clearly, An Jing has connections with Princess Mingjing!]
Wu Ai, a core member of the Divine Sect, had a significant chance of achieving the state of Divine Repository and becoming a ’Divine Movement Envoy,’ so the You Patrol Envoy did not avoid him: [An Jing, with his own power, managed to transform the Dragon Storing Bottle into a simpler, more versatile, and easier-to-produce Qi Furnace. Especially given that this Qi Furnace can bypass Demonic Qi interference, providing longer endurance in critical moments.]
[So that’s it. This explains why he could defeat Xie Gusu at the Broken Blade Mountain Range... It’s not just the Dragon Storing Bottle, he must have had more Qi Furnaces on him! Fighting him, one must not think about dragging it out, but crush him with overwhelming force immediately!]
[Great find, Wu Ai. Any other valuable discoveries?]
"None." Wu Ai searched around but couldn’t find anything particularly useful: "The quality of the Spiritual Fire An Jing used is very high – does that count?"
[Of course, it counts,] the You Patrol Envoy said: [For him to replicate the prototype of the Hundred Soldiers Evil Suppression Dragon Formation, he must have earned the recognition of the ’Doulu Immortal Fire’ from the Demon-Suppressing Ruins beneath the Broken Blade Mountain. A trace of its Fire Seed must reside with him.]
[With this Fire Seed, even ordinary fire turns into Spiritual Fire.]
"Aside from that, there’s nothing else." Wu Ai shook his head. An Jing’s time on Mingguang Peak was too brief, and he hadn’t left much of value. Yet, the You Patrol Envoy was quite satisfied: [Then, on to the next target!]
Meanwhile...
Mingguang Peak, Central Hall, around the Seclusion Room.
Taiming Sect’s infiltrator team also discovered many clues about An Jing’s secluded cultivation: "The cultivation methods are quite mixed. Aside from Bright Mirror Sect’s unique techniques, there’s also a very advanced metal attribute method, along with several other decent elemental techniques... How many Martial Vein Formation Maps is An Jing cultivating? Isn’t he worried about the future complexity preventing him from advancing?"
"He is the Jiuli Commanding General, after all. Mastering at least five cultivation methods is within his capability without any complexity."
The Taiming Sect team continued their search, discovering that all disciples on Mingguang Peak appeared to be practicing these cultivation methods: "I’ve heard the disciples on Mingguang Peak are Children of Calamity who escaped from the Tianyi Demon Sect? Every one of them has the potential for cultivation? Their Martial Arts talent is remarkable, even without awakening their Fate Patterns."
"Moreover, An Jing can teach his Divine Power skills to others? This must be reported back to the sect immediately. Mingguang Peak is likely developing a new lineage. Not only are their methods different from ours, but the Secret Techniques we prepared against them may be completely ineffective against him!"
"In battle, here’s another discovery... I’m not sure, you better check this out!"
As the Taiming Sect captain furrowed his brows, another team member discovered something in the Seclusion Room.
Upon entering and seeing it, the captain gasped: "Multiple nested Tai Ming Soul-Nurturing Formations? Impossible!"
"Isn’t this our Taiming Sect’s "Emperor You Taoming Divine Sovereign’s Scripture of Sealing Ghosts and Controlling Spirits"?!"
"Could there be a Bright Mirror Sect traitor within our sect?!"
This discovery chilled the Taiming Sect’s infiltration team to the bone. Instinctively, they turned around, fearing An Jing would appear, cackling, and announce it was all a trap. They were trapped in a jar, caught entirely!
But thankfully, that did not happen.
As for whether Taiming Sect had Bright Mirror Sect’s spies? Obviously, yes. Even Taiming Sect, like Bright Mirror Sect, was full of spies from Da Chen, Tianyi Demon Sect, Heavenly Demons, and Shangxuan Sect!
After calming down, the captain of Taiming Sect furrowed his brows deeply: "Who set this up? Although we purposely circulated some Tai Ming Scriptures... Bright Mirror Sect should have no one practicing it!"
No doubt, the Tai Ming Scriptures are indeed valuable, a legacy left by an Emperor of Lingxiao – perhaps just some random formation and entry-level secrets, but still a high-level formation inheritance.
However, it concealed a mystery: anyone cultivating the Tai Ming Scriptures would slowly harmonize their soul with Taiming Sect’s ’Netherworld Lands,’ becoming part of Taiming Sect. Even alive, their life and death would be recorded in the Book of Life and Death, fully controlled by the sect!
But why? There seemed to be no one on Mingguang Peak practicing the Tai Ming Scriptures!
"Where are the people? Where did they go?"
The lack of discovery further frightened the Taiming Sect infiltrators. While the Tai Ming Scriptures had significant drawbacks, if the doors within were unlocked... disaster awaited!
If broken, the cultivator would become the true heir of the Great Abyss God Venerable!
