Chapter 1138: Everyone
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
Back then, the Second Prince had gone missing after declaring that he was going to train in seclusion. He had not even appeared during the major events including the evil G.o.d summoning ritual, the three Saints’ arrival in the Imperial Capital, and when the Plenary Foundation Septet attacked Fang Xingjian.
Now, Fang Xingjian finally understood that it was because the Second Prince had come here to the Western Land and infiltrated the higher realm.
Fang Xingjian’s high-dimensional sensory abilities kept on scanning the inside and outside of the Second Prince’s body.
‘Tier six of the Divine level… That’s so fast… Hmm… There are also traces of the Flying Celestial Sect’s martial techniques.’ Fang Xingjian’s gaze flickered. The Second Prince possessed the ten levels of the mystical prints and naturally had top-notch apt.i.tudes. However, for him to be able to reach tier six of the Divine level so quickly, the ten levels of mystical prints must not have been the only things that propelled his growth.
Fang Xingjian asked, “So that’s how it is. Did you manage to contact Saint Adam, the Formidable Divine King, and the others?”
Fang Xingjian had already heard from Urethai previously that Saint Adam, Formidable Divine King Dante, and other top-notch experts from 1,000 years ago had all acquired the life span conversion technique and infiltrated into the immortal sects in the Western Land’s higher realm.
The reason with the greatest possibility that Fang Xingjian could think of to explain the Second Prince’s rapid improvement was that he had gotten help from Adam, the Formidable Divine King, and the others.
Moreover, he had probably strived for the Divine level without returning to Miracle World. This meant that his status in the higher realm’s immortal sects was very high, and he could be sent to other parallel worlds that had the Nine-Tiered Heavens, allowing him to strive to clear the trials.
There were also signs of the Flying Celestial Sect’s martial techniques on him. Fang Xingjian’s a.s.sessment was that the Second Prince had probably also entered the Flying Celestial Sect’s core.
When the Second Prince heard this, his countenance changed slightly. He smiled and asked, “Brother, what do you mean by this? What Second Prince? I’m the Flying Celestial Sect’s Duan He. Have you mistaken me for someone else?”
Fang Xingjian smiled, and his voice was transmitted straight into the other party’s consciousness, “The feeling of the tenth level of the mystical prints isn’t bad, right? I’m Fang Xingjian. It has been a while, Second Prince.”
Hearing that, the Second Prince’s expression froze slightly. He immediately replied, “Then what about Eldest Sister? How has she been?”
Fang Xingjian knew that the Second Prince was still testing him and replied straight away, “The First Prince has already backed away from the fight for the throne. He’s currently living leisurely in the summer palace at the outskirts of the Imperial Capital.”
“Is that so…” The Second Prince murmured, feeling stunned for a moment. Then he sighed and said, “Xingjian, I didn’t expect that you would come to the Central Continent as well.”
Fang Xingjian nodded and shared his mindset. “There’s no other way out. I can’t leave this place be. There are too many martial arts experts here. If I leave them alone, they’ll pose too great a threat to Miracle World.”
The Second Prince nodded in agreement. “The Central Continent’s background is far too deep. There are already three tier nine Divine level experts and over ten or even 20 tier eight Divine level experts.
“It has been merely 1,000 years since our Miracle World has gotten our hands on the life span conversion technique. It’s in the grasp of a small minority, and we’ll still need too much more time in order to catch up to them.
“Therefore, we can only choose to infiltrate this place and stop their invasion into Miracle World from inside, delaying the battle between the two worlds for as long as possible to give Miracle World more chances to catch up.”
As the Second Prince said this, his gaze became increasingly surprised as he looked at Fang Xingjian. In the end, he could not help but ask, “Xingjian, your current realm…”
“Oh, tier seven of the Divine level,” Fang Xingjian replied.
“Tier seven of the Divine level?” The Second Prince felt pleasantly surprised. “Excellent, excellent, excellent. As expected, you’ve surpa.s.sed me. Even in the higher realm, those at tier seven of the Divine level are also capable of dominating over an area.”
Fang Xingjian did not care about these. Instead, he asked, “How is your infiltration of the higher realm going? Have Adam and the Formidable Divine King come as well? How much do you guys understand about the Gate of Destinies?”
Hearing the mention of the Gate of Destinies, the Second Prince could not help but frown, and his gaze deepened.
“I obtained Old Ancestor Adam’s and the Formidable Divine King’s legacies by chance and thus came chasing after them, infiltrating this world and attaining breakthroughs in the Divine level.
“With your talent, I initially thought that you would definitely be able to surpa.s.s me in the future. When that time came, you’d be a great help in the battle against the Central Continent. By the looks of it, your progress is a lot faster than I expected.
“As for the Gate of Destinies, you must have thought that it’s fake when you first heard it, right?”
Fang Xingjian raised his brows. “Oh? Is it actually real?”
“To tell you the truth, I’ve already become one of the ten direct disciples in the Flying Celestial Sect. I’ve also found out some inside news,” the Second Prince explained. “The Ancient Heavenly Court is a powerful influence that expended a tremendous amount of resources to create the Gate of Destinies. They even caused the Central Continent’s resources to become scarce. This was the reason why the world was divided into the higher and lower realms, with many experts focusing the resources in the higher realm to cultivate.
“The foundational reason why the world was divided into two was that there was insufficient resources. It was a necessity to gather most of the resources and provide them to a minority of people for their cultivation. This will maintain control of the number of cultivators as well as the depletion of resources.”
Fang Xingjian nodded. He finally understood why this world was divided into two realms, and why the higher realm had such a careful att.i.tude toward the Central Continent, unwilling to destroy the environment there.
The Second Prince continued, “And as the oldest tier nine Divine level expert in this world, the Venerable Master Zhai Xing has really obtained the Ancient Heavenly Court’s legacies. It’s highly likely that he was an expert from the Ancient Heavenly Court back then who was behind in this world and obtained a piece of fragment to the Gate of Destinies.
“That’s why he wanted to ama.s.s the higher realm’s resources and recreate the Gate of Destinies.”
Fang Xingjian nodded and asked, “What effect does the Gate of Destinies actually have? Why would it leave behind fragments, and where did the Ancient Heavenly Court’s people go?”
“Who knows?” The Second Prince shook his head. “The Venerable Master Zhai Xing is probably the only one who knows about these. The only thing we can do is to try to delay the progress and then find ways to probe for information.
Back then, the Gate of Destinies’ creation destroyed the entire planet’s environment, forcing other martial experts to use Spatial Translocation and create another realm for cultivating martial arts. This showed how great its depletion was.
“I’m worried that Venerable Master Zhai Xing will set his sights on Miracle World.”
Fang Xingjian did not say anything. He did not plan on telling the Second Prince that he had chased the Venerable Master Zhai Xing back to the higher realm and that it was impossible for the Venerable Master Zhai Xing to return.
At the very least, before he had completely killed Venerable Master Zhai Xing, Fang Xingjian was not planning on divulging any information.
It was because he had no idea what att.i.tude the Second Prince and the other experts—including Saint Adam and the Formidable Divine King—had toward the higher realm and toward Miracle World after having stayed in the higher realm for so long. He did not know if there were already people who had submitted to the higher realm’s culture, background, and martial arts and were now devoted to the higher realm’s immortal sects.
“Oh, right. Adam and the Formidable Divine King have come this time around as well. I’ll bring you to meet them.”
Fang Xingjian followed the Second Prince, and the group went to another area where a group of men and ladies were gathered.
The Second Prince introduced via voice transmission, “This is the Flying Celestial Sect’s lower section, the Four Directional City. However, we’ve already infiltrated and taken over a large part of it. The City Lord and the Deputy City Lord are Adam and the Formidable Divine King.”
Fang Xingjian was struck with understanding, and he raised his head and looked over. He saw that deep within the depths of the people from the Four Directional City, there were two young men who sat on the left and right of a jade table.
