CHAPTER 1189: CHAPTER 36: SIXTH RANK QUEST, TRUE SPIRIT UNFALLEN

"Indeed." An Jing also showed an understanding expression.

To be honest, this was also his question. The Shangxuan Sect could interfere with the Lingxiao Immortal Fall of other Heavenly Ancestor sects. Logically, with the nature of a Martial Artist, the nine great sects would have already joined forces to attack the Zhongheng Dao Continent and taught these guys a lesson.

But in reality, the only one who is truly at war with the Shangxuan Sect is the Refining True Path, which has actually lost a Lingxiao. Even the Great Chen Dynasty that has been directly interfered with locally only invited the leaders of the North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent to solve the matter in Shenjing, and has not reached the point of war.

It seems now that, although the Shangxuan Sect indeed frequently interferes with the outside world, they hold onto "righteousness." Even their interference with the Bright Mirror Sect, although it indeed has some personal ulterior motives, there are indeed individuals within the Bright Mirror Sect like Fu Jing True Lord who collaborate directly with the Heavenly Demon, while Yulun True Lord was possessed by a Heavenly Demon, with Yan Gui True Lord narrowly escaping.

If not for An Jing, the final conclusion of the battle between Bright Mirror and Taiming could have genuinely been a great victory for the Heavenly Demons. If the Shangxuan Sect had incited the Immortal Falls of the two sects, turning them into Heavenly Dao puppets to eliminate evil and banish the demons, they could truly have disgusted the Heavenly Demon enough to make him ashamed.

The Blood Sea Demon Sect is just a common henchman. The Heavenly Ancestor Refining True Path used this henchman to its utmost advantage, gaining the Immortal Spirit Techniques to utilize the Immortal Fall.

Whether for maintaining technological superiority or for the stability of Embracing the Void, the Shangxuan Sect attacked the Refining True Path, causing chaos in the South Wilderness Hongzhou.

The reason Jin Yanhua and You Ruhui are so clear about these matters is definitely not because of the Ancestral Dragon Hall—these are true secrets, the hidden privacies of the Heavenly Ancestor sects. To know these, at least one must be a Pure Yang True Lord, the true core leader of a sect.

"Is it Endless Heavens?"

An Jing realized, while Jin Yanhua nodded without surprise: "Precisely."

"This is our Heavenly Palace Team’s main mission in the Endless Heavens. Our actions in the South Wilderness Hongzhou have touched the depths of karma. Most members of the Heavenly Palace Team are True Spirit Martial Arts cultivators, even Ruohui possesses part of the Dragon Blood inheritance, having a related karma."

"And you, An Jing, are a Nature Master. Many Blood Sea Demon Sect’s techniques may be fated with you. It was defeated by the previous Nature Master. This time, it is destined to be defeated by you too!"

Saying this, Jin Yanhua showed a very optimistic expression: "This way, our Heavenly Palace Team’s legendary mission can be perfectly accomplished!"

——I think it might be another kind of karma.

An Jing was very clear that he was a Seven Fiend Tribulation and not a Nature Master, but it did not matter. Whether as a Nature Master or a Seven Fiend Tribulation, they must all completely eradicate this extremely evil Blood Sea Demon Sect.

It was at this time that An Jing received a long-awaited task from the Endless Heavens.

[True Spirit Unfallen]

[Sixth Rank Task]

[To obtain a further path, the Heavenly Ancestor·Refining Xuan Myriad Transformations True Path allied with the Blood Sea Demon Sect, using billions of lives as material to verify the Immortal Spirit Skills. This technique integrates the Heavenly Dao Power into the True Spirit, intending to reverse the Innate and regress all beings’ bloodlines to before all phenomena, achieving the essence of ’Ex Nihilo,’ thus surpassing Heavenly Dao’s limitations, and proving the existence above Lingxiao.]

[However, all falls shall be settled. The Heavenly Demon’s evil thought has settled within the Heavenly Ancestor sects. If not stopped, the day Immortal Spirit Skills achieve great success will become the day the Immortal Spirit Holy Demon is born.]

"Ha, indeed, the artificial Ex Nihilo and Holy Demon both came. The Heavenly Dao must indeed be anxious."

An Jing nodded. At this moment, all causality converged, and he completely understood why there was a familiar air to Little Qi for You Ruhui in the Blood Sea Demon Sect.

——No matter the narrative, the goal of the Blood Sea Demon Sect and Refining True Path is to create an ’Ex Nihilo’!

Without concealing his thoughts, An Jing disclosed everything to Jin Yanhua and You Ruhui, and after a moment of contemplation, the Dragon Lady sighed with realization: "Three Thousand True Spirits, Ancestral Divine Beast, various Primordial Giant Beasts, Primordial Strange Beasts during the Divine Tribulation... The Path of Bloodlines is vast and infinite, with the Ancestral Dragon at the peak."

"But trying to approach using bloodlines can only ever get infinitely close, but is never able to reach there. There’s definitely something more important."

"That is the source of ’Immortal Fall’ and the Heavenly Dao Power." An Jing said: "They have already researched a rough understanding."

"Jin, surely the Ancestral Dragon Hall is aware?"

"How could our Ancestral Dragon Hall not be aware?" Jin Yanhua closed her eyes, frowning: "If they weren’t researching this, how would the Ancestral Dragon Hall let it slide?"

"To find the answer to ’Ex Nihilo,’ for several eras, countless beings have been gathered by the Blood Sea Demon Sect from the ten regions of Embracing the Void, then bred and modified in captivity, creating endless aberrations, bizarre demon spirits of nightmare and evil."

"Of course, the Ancestral Dragon Hall and Refining True Path also got many excellent bloodline seeds, and the prototypes of Divine Skills—even among failed kinds, there are quite a few new species, as many dragons in the Heaven Sea Dragon Court have employed variously fashioned, extraordinarily beautiful maids and servants."

At this point, even Jin Yanhua’s expression grew heavy: "I originally thought that this time’s Zhaolin Ye Zhen Banquet shouldn’t have any big shifts, but now it seems, due to Little Qi and your Heavenly Mandate existence... all causality regarding the Ex Nihilo is likely to converge."

"The Blood Sea Demon Sect, and even the Refining True Path that didn’t send anyone to participate this time, will probably intervene secretly—they are our real enemies."

"Jin, remind the Dragon God."

An Jing, as if sensing, reminded: "The Undying Tree is showing changes, the Ancestor Dragon Scale is alive, this time the Zhaolin Ye Zhen Banquet is starting early, most may just feel it’s a normal fluctuation, but to those who are as persistent as you are to the ’Ex Nihilo,’ they too will surely notice this banquet’s uniqueness."

"After all, your Ancestral Dragon Hall is the most legitimate heir of Ex Nihilo, Refining True Path is already mired in a predicament, in order to break this, and to obtain the true heritage from you, they surely will make a move!"

"Yes!" Jin Yanhua nodded, exhaled a long breath, transformed again into dragon form: "I’ll immediately go discuss this with Father God."

"Raise your hand."

Before leaving, Jin Yanhua touched An Jing lightly with her long tail, a Thunder Light flashed, leaving a mark: "Now, you are the Commander of our East Sea General’s Mansion, second only to me—talk with Ruohui first."

Jin Yanhua was not worried about An Jing and You Ruhui at all. Anyway, both were Endless Heavens Travelers. In case of an incident, they could just dodge it; she would soon drag the Current Dragon King over to support.

The Thunder Light darted, traveling upward, reaching directly to the Heavenly Dome, while An Jing and You Ruhui exchanged glances and smiles.

"Sis Jin is quite the busy person, huh."

Lying comfortably in the chair, An Jing sighed: "Don’t say otherwise, Ruohui, we truly cannot live a peaceful life. Every meeting involves some grand matter tied to the core secrets of Heaven and Earth."

"You hold the Heavenly Mandate, I hold the Heaven and Earth Core, inherently different from ordinary people."

You Ruhui rose, going to the side to brew tea, her voice filled with mirth: "But don’t tire yourself out. There are plenty of major events in the future, rest now as much as you can."

"I’m actually feeling great." An Jing was not one to watch others work while he rested, except if he had work to do.

Energetic, he got up and prepared to assist You Ruhui with the tea: "Ye Qi has been handling all the chores at the sect for me, and Qinghan helps take care of my mother in Da Chen... Thanks to them, I have few worries."

"But you should be careful, the Blood Sea Demon Sect is quite dangerous, make sure you are cautious when battling them."

Noticing An Jing approaching, You Ruhui paused momentarily, allowing some space, watching An Jing rummage through Jin Yanhua’s secret stash for his favored tea leaves, sighing internally, speaking softly: "Actually, it’s alright. The closer blood sea palaces are to the continent, the weaker they are. This is a consensus among all parties."

"However, the Blood Sea Demon Sect’s techniques are indeed impressive. It was from them that I found inspiration, which enabled the creation of the Spirit Qi Furnace, capable of independently evolving, originating from the Dragon Storing Bottle."
