Chapter 1050: You Finally Appeared!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The next day, Jiang Yi went to a nearby medium city. Before entering, he changed his appearance into that of a lesser clan’s young master and found another inn where he gathered more information again.

The waiter at the previous inn had not lied to him. She Fei had indeed broken through to the Demigod Realm. That extremely discreet great young master from the Zhan Clan had also become a Demigod and was engaged to Yin Ruobing.

However, it appeared that the wedding taking place a year later was at the suggestion of Yin Ruobing; it was evident she had her reservations. However, due to her clan’s pressures, she could only resort to delaying the inevitable by a year.

Any wedding for anyone born in a big clan was not a personal affair; these were marriage alliances. Yin Ruobing was from the Fragrant Lady Race. This was something that all the young masters from the big clans knew about. Everyone wanted to get this unrivaled beauty; it just depended on whom the Yin Clan wanted to get close to.

The Zhan Clan was a very powerful family; the Battle Emperor was also a nine-star expert. The most important factor was that Zhan Tianlei had actually broken through to the Demigod Realm. He would be on the same level as She Fei next time, being the next Battle Thearc, Battle Emperor. To create a marriage alliance with the future head of the Zhan Clan suited the Yin Clan’s interests.

Yi Chan was also under a lot of pressure. However, she was lucky as she had a grandfather who cultivated zen, specifically the heart of zen. This cultivation emphasized one following one’s heart, acting as one desired. If not, she would have been put in the same position as Yin Ruobing, not being able to get her way at all.

Besides these few matters, the East Imperial Continent was rather peaceful. The North Thearch’s clan had been very quiet while Wu Ni had also vanished without a trace; he had not been seen once in the past two years.

Something worth mentioning was that Jian Wuying had broken through again, mastering a five-star dao pattern and attaining the peak stage of the Heaven Monarch Realm. The young Jian Wuying’s cultivating speed was too fast. If Jiang Yi had returned two years later, he probably would have heard the news that Jian Wuying had broken through to the Demigod Realm.

“Forget it. Since our paths are different, there is little chance we can work together. There is no point in thinking further.”

Jiang Yi shook his head and got rid of all the vexing thoughts in his heart. A light flashed in his hand, and a green pearl appeared. He wanted to contact someone associated with the Shadow Emperor. However, he waited bitterly for two hours, but there was no response. The Shadow Emperor did not have spies in this area.

“Let’s go.”

Jiang Yi rose and headed straight for a branch hall of the Tang Clan. He did not take out the various command tokens that the Tang Clan had given to him. Instead, he handed over the celestial stone at the normal price. The command tokens had symbols of the Tang Clan and will expose his identity. Although he had always been on good ties with the Tang Clan, they were pure businessmen; there was no saying if they would betray him.

He also did not book a direct ticket to Mystic Heaven City, but he made one for Heaven State Region. He wanted to go there and see the Butterfly Lady Race and the two children. That way, he could also hide his tracks. After all, to head directly to Mystic Heaven City from where he was would cost him heavily in celestial stones. The Tang Clan would also definitely take note of such a matter and start investigating his identity; it was too easy for him to be exposed.

There was an even more important reason. At the foot of Stupa Mountain, Qi Tianyu and company had all died in battle. He had always felt very guilty towards the Qi Clan. He wanted to go and report his offense to Qi Tianchen.

The Buddha Light Region wasn’t that far from Heaven State Region. The people here also frequently came in contact with people from the Heaven State Region. The journey would take slightly more than a month and would not raise any red flags.

Actually, while handing over the deposit, Jiang Yi felt a little hesitant. He really wanted to make a trip to the lake north of Buddha Mountain, but he did not dare to go after recalling what the mysterious elder had said to him. The elder was very clear: if Jiang Yi hadn’t become a Demigod—even if Jiang Yi went there, the elder would not come and meet him. Jiang Yi had to forget about this thought for the time being.

Five days later, the Heaven Fate Ship arrived. Jiang Yi boarded the ship disguised as a small clan young master. The journey was very peaceful. Jiang Yi’s Divine Perception was constantly scanning the surroundings, but he did not find anything suspicious.

After spending two days in the hold of the boat, Jiang Yi entered the one-hundred-fold secret cultivation room on the Heaven Fate Ship. Jiang Yi’s sixth star sphere had transformed, and his essence force had reached the peak stage of the Heaven Monarch Realm. If it was an ordinary person—as long as he had not reached the Demigod Realm, he would not go and cultivate his essence force, and would not be able to cultivate essence force either.

However, Jiang Yi was different. His dantian had transformed; the ninth star sphere had appeared. During the last breakthrough, Jiang Yi had cultivated once; and the seventh star sphere was able to release essence force. However, the required essence force the seventh star sphere needed was immense, threefold more than before.

In other words, if Jiang Yi wanted his seventh star sphere to transform, he needed to cultivate in this type of one-hundred-fold secret cultivation room for at least twenty years.

Beyond the seventh star sphere was the eighth star sphere. By his calculation, the eighth star sphere should also require an essence force that was two or three times that of what the seventh star sphere needed. This meant that the time needed for the eighth star sphere would be even longer. Using the one-hundred-fold secret cultivation room and adding to it the ten-fold cultivation speed that his body possessed due to the Destitute Dragon Grass, that would still take more than fifty years. If the required essence force for the ninth star sphere continued to double or triple, that would be impossible to imagine.

“Something isn’t right though!” Googlᴇ search novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ - ɴovᴇlbin

Jiang Yi blinked his eyes, slightly muddled. Inside his ninth star sphere was all the energy of astral winds. Since that was the case, could the ninth star sphere still store essence force? When that happened, would the astral winds and the essence force repel each other?

“Hehe, I’m thinking too far off!”

Jiang Yi swiftly came back to reality. It would be countless more years before he transformed his sixth and seventh star spheres; he might already be dead by that point in time. It was pointless thinking about such things at the moment.

“Cultivate!”

Jiang Yi closed his eyes and started cultivating, at the same time entering the State of the Union of Heaven and Man and realizing sorcery and dao patterns alike. The Demon-Killing Seal skill that Saint Empress had used had impacted him greatly; nine-star experts were incredibly strong. He still had a very long way to go.

Time passed by as Jiang Yi cultivated; the journey was also very smooth. Jiang Yi stopped cultivating on time, one and a half months later. The ship was about to reach the Stellar City of the Heaven State Region. This city was not far from Black Flag City; it would only take a few days to reach.

Jiang Yi sat inside the ship cabin and used his Divine Perception to scan the surroundings and relaxed. Although the North Thearch was a nine-star martial expert, he wasn’t a True God. He did not have the ability to predict the future or be able to see so far into the distance. The North Thearch did not know that Jiang Yi had sneaked back into the East Imperial Continent. As long as Jiang Yi did not act recklessly, did not use any of the abilities that he was known to possess, and did not create a ruckus, no one should be able to see through his disguise.

After disembarking from the Heaven Fate Ship, Jiang Yi entered Stellar City. He did not immediately contact the people manning Heaven Fate Ship but entered an inn to gather information from a waiter.

Although he wanted to head to Black Flag City, Jiang Yi was not going to go in blind. If by any chance Qi Tianchen had been exposed and was being controlled, Jiang Yi would be walking right into a trap.

Fortunately, the news that he received was that the Black Flag City had been peaceful these two years; there were no notable events that had taken place. To play safe, he switched to another inn and continued to ask for more information. After he had confirmed multiple times, Jiang Yi went back to the first inn and retrieved the green pearl.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

There was a response this time. Within five minutes, a knock rang out from the outside. A voice transmission came to him. “Are you Young Master Xue Yi?”

“Come in!”

Not many people knew this name. Jiang Yi used his divine senses and scanned the vicinity; besides an old man outside, there was no one else.

Creak!

The elder pushed the door and entered, meeting Jiang Yi’s gaze. He then knelt on the floor emotionally, kowtowed, and said, “Young Master, you have finally appeared. We have been looking for you for two years. The Clan Head and Madam are very anxious. I have sent a message to Clan Head; he will arrive shortly!”

“Uh...”

Jiang Yi was slightly shaken. He did not expect the elder’s response to be such. He also didn’t expect that Qi Tianchen would be so anxious to see him.

Jiang Yi reflected on what had happened and felt very uncomfortable. After his slaughter at the foot of Stupa Mountain, he had received the mysterious elder’s voice transmission and had immediately headed to the Snow Region. He had forgotten to leave a message for Qi Tianchen and company. It was probable that they had all assumed him to be dead or taken by the North Thearch.

“Not good!”

Having thought of this, Jiang Yi’s expression changed. If Qi Tianchen was already so anxious, what about Feng Luan and Qian Wanguan? If Jiang Xiaonu also knew that he had disappeared, what if she had done something foolish and was making trouble in the East Imperial Continent? She was a crazy girl that was even more obstinate than him.
