Chapter 1383: Saint Tian Yue
"A traitor of Mystic Heaven Palace. I wonder what exactly this person did..." The black-robed swordsman turned to look at Master Feng. "Daoist Feng, you travel around and are well-informed. Have you heard any rumors?"
"No." Master Feng shook his head. "A Spiritual Infant cultivator betrayed Mystic Heaven Palace. With such a scandal, how could Mystic Heaven Palace spread it around? Besides, Boundless Sea lay between us. Even if the rumors did reach here, who knew how many years or months it would take, or how distorted they would become by then?"
The white-robed scholar agreed. "Daoist Feng is right! What this person did is not important. What matters is what secret he carries. According to the demonic rat, a group of experts from Mystic Heaven Palace pursued him into Demon Realm and still refused to give up. It was said that they nearly alerted the Great Heavenly Peng Saint before they finally withdrew in frustration. This traitor may have carried some supreme treasure out of Mystic Heaven Palace. However, the demonic rat did not say what it was. Who knows whether he did not know the truth, or whether he deliberately hid something?"
The female cultivator raised her brows, looking utterly charming. "Something Mystic Heaven Palace regarded as a supreme treasure..."
The black-veiled swordsman looked toward Master Feng. "The demonic rat has already been killed, but our enemies still outnumber us. Should we invite some helpers?"
Master Feng pondered for a while. "Not long ago, I already made contact with the Daoists in Stardust Archipelago. The demon race seemed fierce and aggressive, but they did not take any substantial action. It appears Bifang does not want to start a war either. He was merely putting up a show to conceal his true purpose. There is no need for us to make a big move or invite too many people, lest the news leak out and stir up more trouble."
After a pause, Master Feng continued, "I have already ordered people to spread the news and invite that mysterious Daoist. Let us wait a little longer."
The white-robed scholar asked curiously, "Did this person come from Stardust Archipelago? A middle-stage Spiritual Infant cultivator proficient in Lightning Evasion cannot possibly be unknown!"
Master Feng shook his head. "I have already asked around, but there is no such person!"
Suddenly, a streak of light suddenly flew into the hall.
Master Feng caught the light. After reading it, he smiled and said, "Speak of the devil! I will go back first and meet him. Continue investigating."
***
At Wind Sun Mountain, Qin Sang sat cross-legged in a quiet room. Suddenly, he sensed something and opened his eyes.
Then, the barrier around the quiet room was touched.
Chu Huanqiang’s report came from outside. "Senior Ming Yue, Master has already returned to the mountain and is waiting respectfully for you in the main hall."
Qin Sang walked out of the quiet room and followed Chu Huanqiang up to the mountain summit, where he met Master Feng.
They were both old monsters. After a round of warm pleasantries, Qin Sang thanked Master Feng for helping him frighten off Bifang, while Master Feng stood firmly on his side against the common enemy. Before long, they appeared as familiar as old friends of many years.
"Forgive me for being presumptuous, but may I ask where your homeland is?" Master Feng did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point, asking about Qin Sang’s origins. "With your cultivation and supernatural abilities, you would be a rare existence even across the entire North Sea. Yet I am ignorant and ill-informed, and I have never heard of you."
Qin Sang hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell the truth. He said calmly, "I come from another domain."
If he had only been at the early stage of the Spiritual Infant Realm, it would have been excusable for him to claim that he had cultivated in seclusion somewhere and happened to break through by chance, which was why he remained unknown.
However, an immortal cultivator who only knew how to cultivate in seclusion could not possibly have the cultivation of a middle-stage Spiritual Infant cultivator.
If Master Feng deliberately investigated him and discovered that there was not the slightest trace of him in the immortal cultivation world, he would certainly grow suspicious. A lie would not hold for long.
Besides, Qin Sang was not afraid of exposing his origins. It did not matter.
"Another domain?" Master Feng was stunned. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly seemed to recall something and exclaimed, "You come from Beichen Realm?"
Qin Sang smiled faintly. "You are truly knowledgeable. You guessed it at once. Are there other Daoists who came from Beichen Realm after crossing the storm?"
The cultivators of Beichen Realm knew of the other three realms. This showed that the two domains had definitely communicated in the past. There must also have been legends of Beichen Realm in the three other realms. It was only natural for Master Feng to know of Beichen Realm.
Qin Sang sounded him out indirectly.
Unexpectedly, Master Feng shook his head again and again. "Legend has it that several thousand years ago, Beichen Realm’s greatest expert, Saint Tian Yue, crossed the sea alone and defeated all the powerful figures of the North Sea with just a sword. He warned the cultivators of the three realms not to set foot in Beichen Realm. From then on, the two domains lost contact. Daoist Ming Yue, you're the first cultivator from Beichen Realm that I have ever met in my life!"
As he spoke, Master Feng looked at Qin Sang with astonishment, as if he were looking at something rare. His expression did not seem feigned.
It seems like Chenyan did not show herself at Wind Sun Mountain. Perhaps she has deliberately concealed her tracks. Qin Sang thought.
Ascetic Tian Yue. As Qin Sang’s thoughts turned, he recalled this person’s origins.
This person had been the last great cultivator of Beichen Realm before Old Devil Ye!
It was said that Saint Tian Yue had been a rogue cultivator. He had been extremely low-key throughout his life, had left no descendants, and had suddenly vanished without a trace. Thus, very few rumors remained about him. Qin Sang had only learned of this person while listening to other Spiritual Infant cultivators discuss him.
"One man and one sword, defeating all the North Sea’s experts..." Qin Sang felt a distant yearning.
He had never expected that Saint Tian Yue, whom only a very small number of people in Beichen Realm still remembered, had actually left behind such a resounding reputation in another domain.
When Master Feng mentioned Saint Tian Yue earlier, his expression had been solemn. Clearly, he respected Saint Tian Yue greatly.
No wonder even though the North Sea has many experts, only Chenyan’s master has been to Beichen Realm. So someone had been silently guarding it. Reverence arose in Qin Sang’s heart.
Unfortunately, he knew far too little about Saint Tian Yue’s deeds.
It was said that this person had been born in the desert. He had been an extraordinary genius with an indifferent temperament, like drifting clouds and wild cranes, roaming everywhere freely and without restraint.
Saint Tian Yue had never publicized the fact that he had become a great cultivator either. It was only by chance, when he encountered other Daoists, that others learned of it and the news spread. But afterward, he vanished again without a trace.
There were many different opinions about Saint Tian Yue’s whereabouts. Some said that Saint Tian Yue had fallen in a certain hidden realm.
Many ancient hidden realms in Beichen Realm were full of danger, and even great cultivators did not dare treat them lightly.
Others said that Saint Tian Yue might have quietly broken through to the Divine Transformation Realm, crossed the storm belt, and gone roaming through the world. Given his temperament, that was very possible.
Qin Sang withdrew his thoughts and felt somewhat curious.
So much time had already passed. If Saint Tian Yue had failed to advance to the Divine Transformation Realm, he must have already died. Other than Chenyan’s master, had no one else ever thought of going there to take a look?
Master Feng said, "Back then, Senior Tian Yue planted his sword at the Corner of Heaven and left. From that day on, no one dared take even half a step across it, including Mystic Heaven Palace. Later, the demon race grew stronger by the day and swallowed up more than half of Stardust Archipelago. The Corner of Heaven was also occupied by the demon race. Having lost that route, even if we wished to go to Beichen Realm, we would be powerless. I once entertained this thought, but when I tried it, I encountered extremely chaotic storm currents and nearly lost my direction. I had no choice but to turn back. The later generations are unworthy of even trying. I do not even know whether the sword Senior Tian Yue planted is still there..."
Master Feng gave a bitter smile.
The Corner of Heaven was located in the northern part of Stardust Archipelago, and was a protruding corner of the barrier that jutted toward the storm belt.
It was said that there was a safe path there that could lead to Beichen Realm, but that was only relative. It was not absolutely safe, and it still demanded an extremely high cultivation level from those who entered.
