Chapter 1594: Chapter 973: Misunderstanding

"..."

Staring at the perfect, flawless countenance approaching him, Jiang Hui was momentarily stunned.

Then he said:

"If Fellow Daoist has any questions, please feel free to ask."

His expression was suspicious as he eyed the charming silhouette before him, utterly bewildered, not knowing what medicine Emperor Huanfen was selling in his gourd.

From the moment the other came over, their behavior, or the words they spoke, all seemed strange.

He even suspected that he was not himself...

What was all this about?

If he wasn’t him, then who else could it be?

Huai Jiang?

Actually, it wasn’t unreasonable for Jiang Hui to be puzzled like this.

He is the creator and owner of The Underworld, representing its ultimate will in a sense.

He couldn’t perceive the sense of degeneration that only belonged to the netherworld in Emperor Huanfen’s perception, not akin to the mortal world.

As for the rest, neither the realm nor the power could reach the level of Emperor Huanfen; even Shi Hao couldn’t sense it.

This feeling of degeneration was harmless.

It merely allowed the living within The Underworld to better adapt to its environment.

After all, this place, though appearing quite similar to the mortal world,

had the Gate of the Ghost, eighteen layers of the great purgatory, the Underworld Bridge, the Palace of Senluo, Bei Yin Mountain...

And countless small hells... all standing here.

Where would you find such things in a normal place?

Although Emperor Huanfen couldn’t know the names of these places, his Sacrificial Path State power could detect the anomalies of The Underworld.

"When I first arrived at your village, why did Miss Ru Yan have a misunderstanding with me?"

Emperor Huanfen stared intently at Jiang Hui, waiting for his answer.

Generally speaking, if tainted by mysterious power,

the primordial spirit would slowly turn black.

And then, in subtle ways, it would influence one’s character, behavior, and thoughts, until finally, the heart of the Tao was lost.

Ultimately, the person is still the same person.

But the core inside had already changed.

Of course, not all creatures tainted by mysterious material would turn out this way.

Those with weak strength would simply become bloodthirsty, murderous monsters, with both their thoughts and primordial spirit changing, even their appearance.

They would become like the living dead at a glance.

In that case, it would be easy to discern and handle.

But for powerful beings, especially strong ones like Brother Jiang of the Dao,

after turning blackened, it’s hard to detect.

There are times when even the person himself can’t detect it.

For beings in the world, even if they have stepped into the Sacrifice Path and surpassed the end of the path, the depths of their Sea of Consciousness still have a dark side.

But it’s different from a mortal’s dark side.

Even the person himself doesn’t know exactly what their dark side is,

and mysterious power can stir the dark side.

Not to mention, Brother Jiang of the Dao was facing the true blood of the Phantom Primordial Ancestor, containing mysterious power that at the very least needs to be raised several levels.

It’s likely the most primordial mysterious material.

Why are there so many beings even willing to be tainted by mysterious material?

Simply because, after being tainted, one can indeed become stronger.

For instance, if one is just a step away from becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, unable to break through no matter what.

But now, you just need to be tainted to take that step,

such temptation, probably few can resist.

But from the surface, it cannot be seen; the aura will still remain infinitely holy.

However, through observation, she deduced some analyses.

Memory.

After being tainted by mysterious power, the person’s memory would be altered.

Upon hearing Emperor Huanfen’s question, Jiang Hui’s expression immediately became peculiar.

He lightly raised his head, glancing at Emperor Huanfen from the corner of his eye.

First,

he couldn’t understand why the other would ask such an inexplicable question.

Indeed,

this question, no matter who asked, would seem inexplicable.

Not to mention, it was Emperor Huanfen, who had already reached the Sacrificial Path State.

This realm, feeling the universe, comprehending the Heavenly Road, knowing all mysteries of the universe, eternally unchanging, it’s absolutely impossible to have such bad taste.

Because.

This matter, as the person involved at the time, the woman’s heart should have been clearer about the reason than himself, right?

Could it be that she wanted him to compliment her immense charm?!

The mighty Emperor Huanfen who established the pollen system, secretly, turned out to be a contrast?

Jiang Hui shook his head, no need to even think about it, absolutely impossible.

Upon honest reflection, although he was charming and handsome, the Banished Immortal could rival his looks...

He didn’t have such great charm to make a being of the Sacrificial Path want to get some compliments from him.

So, Emperor Huanfen asking like this definitely had a purpose.

Could it be the mysterious power of the Phantom Primordial Ancestor had infiltrated here?

He hadn’t eluded the eyes of the Phantom Primordial Ancestor?

As soon as this idea popped up, Jiang Hui only felt a tingling scalp.

Because it’s not impossible,

his constant concealment was precisely to guard against this possibility.

As a being of the Sacrificial Path, especially having just battled the Phantom Primordial Ancestor,

without a doubt, should be more familiar with the latter than anyone else at present.

At this thought, Jiang Hui immediately said:

"It’s because Fellow Daoist’s grace is peerless, kind-hearted and beautiful... making Ru Yan misunderstand there was something unmentionable between me and Fellow Daoist..."

He spoke frankly, his pace quick.

"Alright, Fellow Daoist, no need to say anymore."

Emperor Huanfen promptly stopped Jiang Hui from continuing his long speech.

Jiang Hui didn’t continue, watching Emperor Huanfen with a worried look.

Unless absolutely necessary, he didn’t want to hide within Paradise, for doing so would cut off any path to ascension altogether.
